Chapter 7 The Ghost in the Fireplace Valley

Previous review: Kosa told Ning Chen that it was a must to re- imprison Miss Lyle. For this reason, Ning Chen needed to go to Stansom, and before going to Stansom, he must find the key to the gate.

=============================Separator=============================

According to Kosa, now is Missler's rest time, so Ning Chen has at least ten hours to find the key. Once Missler's sleeping period, they will fall into endless escape.

"You uncle, you are amazing." As Ning Chen walked, he thought about it for a long time and said what was on his mind to Emily.

Emily didn't say anything. She doesn't know much about Cosa now. After all, she hasn't seen her for many years, but she knows that Cosa is a very powerful magician, and even her mother admired him very much when she was a child.

This time they didn't take the road. Since they are going to look for the key now, they should take the shortcut as much as possible. Unconsciously, they have come to the north of the West Plague, which is a continuous mountain range. At the end of here is a place called Fireplace Valley.

Ning Chen and Emily followed the instructions on the parchment map and unconsciously arrived at a valley shrouded in thick fog. The valley was full of huge poisonous bacteria and giant maggots squirming everywhere. They looked extremely disgusting. The ground was generally flat, and occasionally there was a small puddle, which piled up in it. The yellow-green of the pit is unknown**.

A pungent smell of rottenness penetrated the fog and came to my face, which was very pungent.

"Do you think the key will be here?" Ning Chen frowned at the barren valley that seemed to have no grass.

Emily nodded: "The elf's intuition is very accurate, although there are occasional deviations."

It was gloomy and horrible. Even the shadow burial and Aesop moved forward carefully. They couldn't see their fingers in the fog. No one knew what they would meet next. Finally, they walked into the valley. In the center of the fireplace valley, the fog gradually dissipated. It seemed that this layer of fog was just shrouded outside the valley. The fireplace valley after the fog has dissipated is completely different from the outside world. It is full of green vitality, like a paradise in the land of plague.

In the middle of the valley is a small field. Several fields are full of tomatoes and green peppers, and several fields are full of grains. In the middle of these fields are a stone well, and several houses are located at the foot of the mountain, surrounding the fields.

If he hadn't caught a glimpse of a dead chicken next to the well, Ning Chen would have almost admired the picturesque beauty here.

The surroundings were quiet, and nothing could be heard except the footsteps of Ning Chen and Emily, not even the wind. They stood quietly at the mouth of the valley, calmed down, and continued to walk forward.

The more Emily walked, the more she frowned. It's too quiet here.

The houses here don't look so old, although some of the paint on the doors and windows has peeled off. Emily and Ning Chen concentrated on observing around, and suddenly a white shadow flashed in the field, which floated away to the house near the mountain in the north.

The master and apprentice looked at each other and decided to follow them.

This is an ordinary residential house. The green doors and windows are particularly eye-catching here. A pot of sunflowers on the window sill is still opening, but the doors and windows are open. I don't know where a cold wind blew from the original windless valley, and the wooden door was squeaked and cut through. The silence of the valley.

Ning Chen saw the shadow floating around in the living room of the room from the door, and from time to time he made a hairy laugh or two. It was a woman's voice.

"This can't be a ghost..." Ning Chen thought to himself.

"That's right, she is a ghost." Emily said.

Emily's voice was heard by the female ghost in the room. She rushed to Ning Chen and Emily and reached out to shake her shoulder, but the hand penetrated Emily's body. "Alas..." The female ghost sighed and began to cry again.

Ning Chen has also seen a ghost, so he is not so afraid to know her identity at this moment. He coughed twice, calculated his words, and said, "What, what's going on here?"

"Have you seen my Pamela?" The female ghost answered the question, and her words were in a trance and sad tone, which made people unable to help but want to cry.

"Pamilla..." Ning Chen tried to recall the name, a familiar name, and suddenly remembered a task he had done in the game before, and it turned out to be a real person.

Emily shook her head: "We came from Tirisfa, through Andohar, and didn't see your Pamela. Who is she?"

"She is my little niece. She is only 4 years old this year, and I lost her..." The female ghost ignored Ning Chen and Emily. She passed directly through Emily's body and floated to the field in the middle of the valley.

"Wait..." Ning Chen hurriedly shouted at her, "I think we can help you... But you have to tell us what happened here."

When the female ghost heard Ning Chen's shouting, she suddenly turned around and rushed to them. This time, she really made Ning Chen very cautious. She thought that she really had a ghostly posture. She came to Ning Chen, first covered her face and cried, and then sobbed and told them, "It used to be good here. Our family was born here. I live well. My father and I have two nieces. My father has a mission to protect, while my brother patrols the plague area all year round to ensure that the natural disaster is not resurrected. Under his protection, we live leisurely in the boundary of magic. Hearing this, Ning Chen couldn't help looking at Emily and thought that the teacher's intuition was really accurate. Her father's so-called guardian mission mostly referred to Stansom's key.

Sure enough, the female ghost's next words confirmed Ning Chen's speculation: "Dad has been putting the important key in the box, and the box sank at the bottom of the well. But one day, not long ago, a warlock broke through the boundary and broke into the valley and told us that our brother had been killed and asked his father to give him the key to protect him. No matter, his father didn't agree, so he killed the old man and took away the Pamela sisters. I tried my best to stop him and catch Pamela's sister, but Pamela was taken away..." A gust of wind blew over, and Ning Chen suddenly felt cold on his face and stretched out his hand. It turned out to be tears. The tears from the wind were female ghost. Of.

"Do you mean the key is at the bottom of the well?" Ning Chen asked carefully, for fear that the female ghost who accidentally poked her in pain would cry again.

The female ghost shook her head: "The key is no longer there. That day, the key happened to be hung on Pamilla's neck by her father."

Ning Chen thought for a moment and said, "We will help you find Pamela, but can you lend me Stansom's key then?"

The female ghost smiled sadly: "I'm dead, how can I keep the key? If you are careful, please send the key to Storm City and give it to the king. Although this request was quite difficult for Ning Chen, he still nodded as a comfort to the deceased.

"Do you know where Pamela will be?" Emily asked, "No clue can't be found."

"I know! I saw the warlock sitting on the big bird and flying towards Daron County. Pamela must have been taken there. The female ghost said with great affirmation.

"Direction?" Ning Chen smiled bitterly, "No matter which direction is very large, how can you be so sure that you went to Dalong County?"

"Because the other half of the key is in Darron County..." The female ghost said, "Two years ago, my father cast the key into two halves, half of it at home and half in the ruins of Daron County. When she went to put the key, Pamela followed her. The child is very smart, but after all, he is still a child and will definitely tell him. So I think the warlock must have gone to Daron County now.
