Chapter 402 Shadow Curse Land
Nohir was right, there was indeed an accident on Jaheira's side.
Just three days ago, Master Jahira, Minsk, and Leon, who also followed them temporarily, but the actual purpose was to continue the pilgrimage, together they accidentally discovered some secret information from the Harpers .
At that time, they had just entered the main fortress of the Dawn, and were about to continue along the Jonsa River in the direction of Baldur's Gate, but Master Jaheira, a high-level harpist, Code words left by other Harpers were found in the villages surrounding the fortress.
Those code words showed that they seemed to have discovered some terrible secrets. A sacrificed colleague sent some very dangerous signals, so at this time they were secretly summoning other Harpers to gather, and The purpose is to investigate the unknown source of danger from the Shadow Cursed Land.
As a high-level Harper, Jaheira, who has the most respected status in the entire Harper organization, naturally would not ignore this news. After discovering those marks, she decisively took the other two, no, it should be three powerful people. Aid joined in this operation.
Then they quickly headed towards Nohir's original destination, which was the Cursed Land of the Netherworld. By deliberately hurrying on, they had successfully entered that area a day ago, and in the end The group of Harpers who had gathered secretly was found on the periphery.
——
In a seemingly abandoned small wooden stronghold surrounded by fences at the outermost edge of the Shadow Cursed Land, a group of about 30 people The group is quietly repairing inside.
Most of them wore civilian clothes and were wrapped in a layer of leather armor. Very few of them were equipped with chain armor or medium armor, which made their protection look a little weak, but as far as the eye could see All were armed with a variety of weapons.
Spears, swords, or farm tools such as dung forks made them look like a group of ragtag militiamen, rather than the prestigious Harpers who had been famous for a long time.
But they are. The Harpers are a loose, corporate organization. There are no hard requirements to join the Harpers. This organization is dedicated to maintaining the balance of the world, resolving civilization and nature, and personal freedom. conflict with the social order.
The Harpers have different backgrounds and come from various regions of Faerûn. Members usually have their own jobs, either as farmers or merchants. Their secret strongholds and supplies are spread throughout Faerûn. The camp is also one of their secret strongholds.
The members of this organization are all Harpers who joined because of their passion for maintaining peace and fighting against evil, and they are noble and do not ask for anything in return. It is precisely because of these characteristics that they are the same as the guerrillas. , there is almost no way to eliminate them.
And they will not reveal their identity as harpers, and harpers do not have uniform clothing. Only the symbols of the silver moon and harp, and the oaths they abide by in their hearts can prove their existence.
At this time, in the central wooden house of this camp.
"Have everyone gathered? Jonas."
The speaker was a young woman wearing a red robe and long black wavy hair, and her dialogue The target was a young man wearing chain armor, carrying a crossbow, with blond hair combed into a ponytail, and a neatly groomed beard. "We're all here, at least everyone in the nearby area should be here, but Sandra, do we really want to go in? This cursed place has a terrible reputation. I think we need to wait first. Wait for the companions from other areas to wait for their arrival before conducting the next exploration operation.”
Under normal circumstances, the harpists act individually, but almost every harpist. Everyone will know a small group. This group usually does not exceed ten people, and they are all friends who know each other. At this time, so many people gathered in this stronghold. This is a very rare situation for the Harpers, because it only happens when The Harpers will only gather in large groups when there is some unstoppable event.
"I also want to do this, Jonas, but time waits for no one. We still don't know what our colleagues who delivered the news found here, but Marula conveyed the highest level to us before he died. This is the highest level of danger warning. We can't..."
"Calm down! Sandra! With the few people we have now, we can only survive here. The most peripheral activities in the cursed land! But you have to know that this is not even a cursed land. This area is just an ordinary land radiated by the real shadow curse! We have not yet entered the real danger! But as long as we take another step forward, we cannot guarantee the safety of others!”
The Harpers have a unique code system, which contains various symbols that can guide the Harpers to convey key information in secret. But the vast majority of Harpers are spies who do not participate in combat, because they are civilians themselves. This status allows them to infiltrate almost any organization and understand the plans of evil forces in advance.
But precisely because of their status as civilians, even if they pick up weapons, they have almost no fighting power. At most, they can only fight low-level monsters such as goblins. Facing the Shadow Cursed Land, A dangerous Jedi...
"They are not warriors or adventurers, Sandra, they are just a group of ordinary people. Let them enter that place without a high-level professional to lead the team or a numerical advantage. It means death inside, we must be responsible for their safety!”
"...Maybe you are right, Jonas, maybe I am too impatient, but that unknown threat has always been a thorn in my throat. I really...why is it so noisy outside?"
< br>Sandra's brows frowned suddenly, and the exclamations of other harpists were heard from outside the room, and the sound was so loud that they could even hear them in the room.
Sandra and Jonas looked at each other, walked out of the house side by side, and then saw a group of unexpected reinforcements.
"Master Jahira!"*2
In the camp, Minsk was holding up Xiao Bu heartlessly, letting Xiao Bu bathe in the exclamation and praise of others in the middle of the crowd, Lai Ang just stood aside with his hands clasped together, silently paying attention to Master Jaheira beside him.
She was asking other Harpers for information. This key information would allow them to prepare for the next enemy. However, judging from the frown on the Master's face, it seemed that these ordinary Harpers did not know much more information than they did.
The lack of key information made them somewhat embarrassed, but with the appearance of the two harpists who were suspected to be the leaders, Master Jaheira's frown finally relaxed a little.
