After a few hours of flying at a low altitude and walking close to the ground, Bai Xiaowen finally saw a human settlement near a black swamp.
This settlement had a complete set of defensive facilities. There were tall wooden walls and wooden bunkers for archers to hide in.
There were two sharp wooden pillars at the entrance that pierced through the corpses of two shivarras, probably to warn the other demons.
Of course, this method was more comforting to the humans and had zero warning to the demons.
Such a wall could be used in a war between mortals, but in the Evolutionary Plane, in a war with the demons, its defensive capabilities were close to zero.
The fact that this human settlement could last until now without being destroyed by the demons was probably as the intelligence said. The demons would not take the initiative to unite and exterminate humans. They had the idea of keeping humans in captivity for fun.
Of course, the settlement itself had to have a certain number of experts. Their main mission was to guard against the scattered demons that wandered over.
…
In front of the entrance of the settlement, there were two guards holding spears.
After observing for a moment, Bai Xiaowen could tell that the two guards were both Elite Rank.
"Stop!"
One of the guards sized up Bai Xiaowen and said, "Who are you? I've never seen you before! "
The other guard said, "Look at this young man's black hair and pupils. He looks like a member of the Kata tribe from the east."
The first guard shook his head. "Kata tribe? Impossible. This is the darkest hell on the continent, the place ruled by the King of Calamities. Every month, there are people trying to cross the King of Calamities' blockade and escape to the east. Why would anyone be willing to come here? "
The two guards spoke in ancient Latin.
Bai Xiaowen did not lie to these guards. He took out the broken gold pocket watch and said, "I'm a traveler from afar. This is something I obtained after killing the demons. The clues inside lead to a little girl called Daphne Freval. May I ask if you know her? "
The two guards were still wary of him, but after seeing that Bai Xiaowen had no intention of approaching, they were still willing to help him recall.
"Freval? This surname is familiar, but we've never heard of the little girl's name before. "
"Really?" Bai Xiaowen frowned. He believed in his own judgment.
"Of course, there aren't many people in Wu Tu Town to begin with. We've already lived here for more than ten years, so we know everyone here very well." The guard replied.
Bai Xiaowen could tell that the guard was not lying.
He closed his eyes and reconsidered his previous deduction.
The super brain was really useful. Bai Xiaowen's mind flashed, and he suddenly found the part that he had missed before.
Time!
Who knew how long it had been since Ebbin Freval had been corrupted into a demonized hunter?
Maybe a year or two, maybe a decade or two.
It was highly probable that Daphne Freval had grown up, and was no longer the little girl in the portrait. Now that she had the ability to live on her own, the chances of her remaining in Wu Tu Town had decreased.
For example, marrying outside the city, or as the guard said, passing through the blockade of the King of Calamities and escaping to the East.
Bai Xiaowen opened the mechanism of his golden pocket watch and took out the portrait with the words written on it. He handed it to the guard and said: "Please help me take a look, this little girl … …"
"Stop, don't move!"
The two guards were very cautious. Seeing that Bai Xiaowen was about to move forward, they immediately stopped him and raised their spears.
Bai Xiaowen shook his head. He was in a hurry, so he couldn't waste time with these guards. Since the two of them didn't want to believe him, he could only use force.
Using [Deterrence], the two guards immediately froze.
Bai Xiaowen said: "If I had any ill intentions, you wouldn't have a chance. Or do you still suspect that I'm a demon?"
"Put away your witchcraft, traveler."
Suddenly, a slightly old voice sounded, and an old man covered in armor walked over.
This old man's hair was slightly black, but his sideburns were pure white. He had a black beard, but he was in good spirits. From the aura of his spirit energy, he should be a high-ranked leader.
Bai Xiaowen put away [Deterrence].
"If you want to find someone, I think I can help you," the old man said calmly.
The old man said calmly, "My name is Helbart, the guard instructor of Wutu Town. I've been here since the establishment of this refuge. I know much more than these two young men. "
Bai Xiaowen handed the broken golden pocket watch to Helbart.
Unexpectedly, Helbart's eyes widened when he saw the pocket watch.
He didn't seem to believe it. He took the pocket watch and looked at it carefully. He stroked the metal patterns on it and sighed: "I already know who left this behind … … Captain Aibin, it seems like you met him."
Bai Xiaowen emphasized: "It's' it '."
Helbart nodded: "You're right."
He opened the mechanism and looked at Daphne Freval's portrait carefully. He revealed a nostalgic smile: "This is Daphne when she was young. Time really flies. "
Bai Xiaowen asked: "Is Daphne Freval in this town?"
Helbart nodded: "Yes, but she doesn't go by that name anymore. She has become a witch, a student of the prophet, Erasmus the Great Sage. "
"Prophet, Erasmus the Great Sage?" Hearing this, Bai Xiaowen was puzzled, but he didn't show any abnormalities.
It seemed to be similar to his role in the Blacktide Plane.
Helbart continued: "Erasmus the Great Sage gave her a new name, Kelowan. Now, there is no little Daphne, only Witch Kelowan. Ever since Erasmus the Great Sage passed away, Witch Kelowan is the last prophet on this continent. "
The two guards were shocked.
Bai Xiaowen's heart skipped a beat because he had received a notification that the mission had been updated.
The golden pocket watch that was supposed to be given to 'Daphne Freval' was now given to 'Witch Kelowan'.
In other words, this old man was not lying to him. He was telling the truth.
Helbart said: "Young man, thank you for bringing this pocket watch back. I will return it to Witch Kelowan. "
Bai Xiaowen said: "Can I enter Wutong Town? I want to give it to her personally. "
"You actually doubt a noble person?" The two guards were a little angry.
Helbart was calm and nodded slightly: "You don't know me, so you don't believe me. This is reasonable. I can ask Witch Kelowan to come out and meet you at the gate. You still can't enter the town. "
