I Created the Myth of the Old Ruler

Although the river city where Lu Juan lives is near the river, there is seldom heavy fog. Most of it is covered by misty mist on the river, like a light veil on a woman's face, covering the landscape.

But now, what he saw was thick fog enough to obscure his vision.

The white fog filled the air, and the carriage could be seen very blurry within a distance of less than one meter. When I looked up, I couldn't see the night, and when I looked down, I could only see the gravel road vaguely. The billowing fog made people feel uneasy.

The only consolation is probably a few lights in the distance, the artificial brilliance penetrates the fog, guides the direction, and exudes a warm feeling.

The coachman was a man with dark brown hair and dark skin. He put down the whip in his hand and looked back.

"I take a pee."

Lu Jian's companion nodded, and the two watched the driver get out of the car and walk into the thick fog.

He didn't go too far, and Lu Ju could vaguely see the coachman's back through the thick fog.

"My name is Drizzt, you can also call me Old Cui, as you can see, I am a detective."

The fellow traveler struck a match and lit the tobacco in his pipe.

"?"

Lu Jian has some doubts.

Shouldn’t a name like Drizzt belong to a foreigner, or should this person’s name be Drizzt?

That's weird.

"But having said that, the first time you meet a fellow traveler, you should have just completed the guide mission, probably within four missions. Under such circumstances, you dare to choose the difficulty of erosion, how brave you are."

Drizzt took a puff of his pipe, and slightly turned his eyes away from the coachman who was pulling up his trousers, and turned to the dimly lit lights in the distance.

"Fortunately, you met me and acted with me. After all, erosion difficulty is prone to accidents. As long as you are cautious, plan before you move, and don't trigger too many events, you will be fine."

When he turned his gaze back, he suddenly stopped talking.

"Huh? Did you see that?"

Drizzt asked Lu Jian.

Lu Jian nodded.

In front of him, the coachman had disappeared.

The coachman shook his body just now and lifted his pants. The moment he turned around, the fog became thicker, covering him slightly, and then surged away.

Then the coachman disappeared.

Quietly, without any warning, without any struggle.

Drizzt reached into his coat and drew a revolver from a holster under his arm.

He slowly came to the place where the coachman was sitting, not daring to go down to explore the ground, he just lifted the lantern placed on one side and illuminated the spot where the coachman disappeared.

There are no traces of gravel roads and weeds.

The mist seemed to retreat a little in fear of the light, revealing something gray and distorted.

"correct."

Suddenly, a voice came from behind Drizzt, his whole body was shocked, he quickly retracted the hand holding the lantern, and turned his head to look.

Holding a crowbar in his hand, Lu Jian sat near the door.

"Don't speak suddenly"

Drizzt broke into a cold sweat.

"Oh."

Lu Jian nodded and continued.

"My name is Lu Jian."

"what?"

Drizzt was stunned for a moment, but didn't realize what Lu Jian meant.

"My name is Lu Yi, and it's polite to introduce myself."

Lu Jian repeated.

"knew."

Drizzt felt that there was something wrong with the man in front of him?

If it weren't for the fact that his companions would not be hostile, he might have to use his pistol to guard against Lu Trip.

"In erosion difficulty, besides not taking the initiative to cause trouble, there are often troubles that come to us. It seems that this is the first test."

He took the driver's seat and hung up the lantern.

"Our mission goals are the same, at least we must successfully go to Dry Water Town first."

Lu Jian did not express any objection.

He didn't know how to ride a horse or drive a carriage, so he just sat in the back and guarded.

In the thick fog, only one or two lights in front support hope.

"This is not just a wild road, but some abandoned villages."

Drizzt was driving the carriage,

While looking around.

The fog is not static. Along with the movement of the carriage and the subtle night wind, the dense fog will also rise and fall like a tide. When it subsides a little, you can see the weeds on the roadside and the hidden things hidden in the weeds. wreckage.

Those are the remnants of the buildings. I don't know what kind of impact they received to make the walls collapse like this. Some of them are still standing, but they are looming in the fog, like some kind of giant beasts, ready to go.

There was no sound in the fog, insects, birds, the commotion of nocturnal animals, nothing.

The icy fog carried a damp and decaying smell, and penetrated deep into the lungs, making the body chill and shivering uncontrollably.

A world of complete silence is like death.

Only the sound of horseshoes and wheels rolling over the gravel road filled the eardrums.

"I had a mission to stay in the Kingdom of the Night before, but it was a very simple survival mission. I survived in a wine cellar for six hours until dawn. As long as I have guns and bullets, it is not a problem to deal with ordinary monsters. .”

Maybe Drizzt was really guiding the newcomers, or maybe he was talking to ease his fear.

"I have never encountered such a situation, are we really close to those lights?"

When he was a little suspicious, he found that there was no sound around him.

Yes, even the sound of hooves and wheels has disappeared.

Drizzt looked back at the carriage, and Lu Jian sat on the chair without saying a word.

The disappearance of the sound of horseshoes and wheels means that the car has stopped.

"drive!"

Drizzt flicked his whip, but the horse didn't budge.

"There seems to be something ahead."

Lu Jian raised the finger that was not holding the crowbar and pointed.

Drizzt picked up the lantern and reached forward.

He saw, in front of the horse, where the thick fog was dispersed by the light, there was a stone statue.

The stone statue was shrouded in mist, and it was impossible to see the specific appearance.

There was a light behind Drizzt.

Lu Yi held a strong flashlight, penetrated the cover of fog, and hit the stone statue with light.

This is a human-shaped stone statue, with slightly broken limbs in a kneeling posture, saluting in a certain direction, facing the carriage sideways.

But the head of the stone statue is not human.

It's fish.

It was like chopping off the head of a fish and sticking it in the neck of a person.

The shape of the fish's head is also quite strange, sharper and more slender. The fish's mouth is half-opened, revealing the uneven teeth inside. The fish's gills are slightly opened, and the delicately carved internal structure can also be seen.

"Normal stone statues don't do this."

Drizzt's voice was very soft, as if worried about disturbing something sleeping in the mist.

"This kind of stone statue, which is obviously used to worship certain gods, will not be deliberately carved, but the fish's teeth, the connection between the head and the neck, are very unnatural, just like"

"It's like being turned into a real living thing."

Lu Jian said the second half of Drizzt's words, he stretched out the crowbar, knocked on the stone statue, and chiseled off a small piece, which was indeed a stone.

"Let's go around it, at least there are lights"

Drizzt raised his whip and pointed forward, but he couldn't finish his sentence.

Because in the mist, even those lights with warmth and hope disappeared.
