After all, these were Alchemists.
No matter how good-looking and beautiful they were, they were still Alchemists.
Arthur didn't even want to think for a second about what the consequences of provoking them would be.
Ghost knows what kind of thods these people would bring out to deal with him?
"It's like this, there is a kind of Magic Beast in the Wailing Marsh. As long as soone is entangled by it, they will painfully let out a wail that sounds like crying."
"Because of this, it is called the Wailing Marsh."
"So whether it's a caravan, an army, or rcenaries."
"No matter who it is, as long as they pass through here, they will choose to pass through quickly between 9:00 AM and 5:00 PM."
"This is mainly to avoid spending the night inside the marsh."
Arthur explained the origin of the Wailing Marsh's na and so coping thods that had been figured out.
"You'll let out a wail when entangled, no matter how you look at it, this is sothing only ntal-type Magic Beasts could do right?"
After listening to Arthur's introduction, Elisa frowned and looked at Lan Qingyou.
"For example, possession, interference, and the like."
"Oh! ntal-type?"
If you say this, then I'm not sleepy anymore!
Lan Qingyou, who originally didn't care much, was now energetic.
After all, from a certain perspective, there is resonance between mind and soul.
If she could follow this path and search.
Perhaps using the soul of a powerful ntal-type Magic Beast to repair her own soul wasn't impossible.
You should know, their 'main quest' right now was exactly this.
Thus.
She looked at the chubby Arthur with stars in her eyes.
"What does it look like?"
"I don't know."
"What about the sound?"
"I don't know."
"Then you must at least know sothing about its ecology right?"
"Apologies, I don't know."
"...Tsk, what a useless guy."
The other party's attitude of not knowing anything when asked three questions made Lan Qingyou a bit speechless.
A place like this should have existed for at least a hundred years or so right.
Otherwise, neither the legend nor the na would have been passed down.
Which ans in such a long ti, these guys actually didn't even know what exactly was inside.
Just blindly fleeing.
Under this kind of situation, the word 'trash' could completely be used to describe them.
However, Lan Qingyou, who accumulated virtue with her mouth, didn't directly say the word 'trash' out loud.
Although it wouldn't matter even if she said it.
But compared to this, she still wanted to obtain more intelligence from the other party's mouth.
"Hehe..."
Arthur smiled awkwardly but politely.
"To tell the truth, after so many years, no one figuring out the matters inside is indeed very shaful."
"But this is also unavoidable."
"Because all the people who went to investigate died, so up until now, not a single person could bring out effective intelligence."
Arthur's smile changed from polite to a bitter smile.
Nothing else, because their family had also organized an investigation team under orders from above.
And more than once.
But without exception, none returned.
So to say it's shaful, it's indeed shaful.
"Tsk tsk, not a single person returning ans they all died."
Lan Qingyou rested her hands behind her head, looking at the carriage roof without taking it seriously.
But Elisa beside her didn't think so.
"They definitely died, but compared to the deaths of these investigation teams, I care more about why the other party would do this."
"Oh? What do you an?"
Lan Qingyou looked down at her.
"Think about it, under normal circumstances, an investigation group like this definitely isn't just one or two people, at the very least it has to be a dozen or twenty people, or even hundreds of people right."
Elisa said and turned to look at Arthur outside the carriage.
"Yes, no one rembers how many it was a hundred years ago, but basically over these past thirty to forty years, the Empire would organize an investigation group of a hundred people scale to investigate every year."
Arthur nodded.
You should know, this place was only three days away from the Imperial Capital.
If they abandoned baggage and other things, and just rode horses.
Then speeding up, they could arrive in two days.
At such a close distance having this kind of place where nothing was clear, whoever was the emperor would probably rack their brains to investigate it clearly right.
Otherwise, what if so thing suddenly ran out from inside one day and launched indiscriminate attacks.
Then wouldn't they be directly finished?
"Since they are such massive investigation groups, logically speaking, there should be at least one or two who could escape back."
"But the problem now is that with so many people every ti, not a single one ca back, which explains many problems."
Receiving the answer, Elisa continued her explanation.
"First, the Magic Beasts inside are very powerful."
"So powerful that they were completely annihilated without even being given the ti to flee for their lives."
"Second, this type of Magic Beast inside is highly likely an undiscovered Magic Beast ethnic group."
"Conservatively estimating, there are at least three to five hundred in number, because only this number could prevent a single person from a hundred-man group from escaping."
"Third, and also the most interesting one."
"That is, there is so huge conspiracy brewing in the marsh."
"In order not to leak the news, those guys inside silence everyone by killing them."
...
After Lan Qingyou finished listening, she tilted her head noncommittally.
How to say.
Although all three of Elisa's guesses were possible.
But before seeing it specifically, no one knew exactly what it was like.
Of course, personally speaking for Lan Qingyou, her favorite was none other than the last guess.
Things like conspiracy theories, she liked the most.
But rationally speaking, in order to repair her soul sooner.
So the best situation was still the first one.
Which is that instant kill theory.
After all, only the higher the level, the more likely it possesses the possibility of repairing her soul.
"Miss Elisa is right, in fact, there are also these guesses inside the Empire, and people have been dispatched to conduct corresponding tests for these three possibilities."
As a local aboriginal.
They definitely thought more and did more than the two outsiders Elisa and Lan Qingyou.
So.
Those guesses of hers had long been proposed and verified by people.
"Oh! Then how were the test results?"
"Not very ideal. Or rather, besides confirming the last one is impossible, no one knows about the other two, after all, the people who went in never ca out."
Arthur shook his head.
"What about dayti? You can't go deep either?"
At this ti Lan Qingyou interjected.
"You can't. Even in dayti with the sun high in the sky, you can't stray too far from the main road."
"The best case is still to leave as fast as possible within ten hours."
"Usually speaking, caravans like ours won't even eat lunch, saving ti to pass through this damn place."
As a rchant running this route year-round.
Arthur naturally knew the dangers of this route very clearly.
But it was exactly because of this, so he was even more clear on the safety of this route.
It could be said that as long as they followed the rules and used the previous thods to quickly pass through this place step by step.
Then basically no accidents would occur.
But!
Since this kind of fun thing had already been known by the fun-seeker Lan Qingyou.
Then...
No accidents occurring, that's impossible...
