In the end, An Yizhi still gave up the idea of showing his true body to scare the guards at the gate, not because he was afraid of being surrounded and suppressed. With his current combat strength, even if he doesn't use the Book of the Dead to completely destroy the more than 5,000 soldiers guarding Kodo County, there is no problem at all, not to mention that he can still run if he can't be beaten.

Mainly in order not to block the Temple of Dawn, they arranged a bunch of things to send An Yizhi in not so that he could die......

The last time I came to the vicinity of Lopwen, I needed to take a teleportation array to Canso City, and then take a boat from Canso City to drift overnight, and on the way, my friend lizardman attacked and almost destroyed the ship.

This time, however, it was much easier, as Burns informed Ann that his fingers were ready, and he would appear outside of Cordor with a snap of his fingers to activate the Amber Escape.

Long before the second pinnacle tournament, when Bishop Tolan asked Ann to talk about something, he handed him an amber node, and the personnel of the Temple of Dawn brought it into the blockade of Lopwen.

Since the amber node looks like an amber stone on the surface, it is not a prohibited or dangerous item, unless you are good at spells or a very high-level mage, ordinary people can't see that this stone has any use other than being sold for two dollars, so it goes very smoothly.

However, this method is limited to when An Yizhi acts alone, and it is not so easy to lead a group of people like last time, so he can only honestly walk the difficult and dangerous mountain road of the Heavenly Sword Mountain Range, and go around to the forest north of Luo Puwen.

That's right, the player for this operation is only Yasuchi himself.

The investigation of the Church of Waujin is very important, the Temple of Dawn does not trust others, if it weren't for the fact that the Brave Invincible has been busy preparing for the start of school recently, it is estimated that he must be among the companions this time.

Although there is only one player, Ann is not completely alone.

In addition to the Temple of the Dawn sending its own personnel to investigate the affairs of the Church of Waukin, they also handed over some things that were not too confidential to the more trustworthy NPC adventurers in order to share their pressure.

This is also the reason why Ann Yizhi did not directly step into the Swamp of the Dead and ran to the nearby county of Kodoro, where he needed to find a few NPC adventurers who were friendly with the Temple of Dawn.

As soon as you enter the city gate of Khodo County, the most conspicuous thing is the two stone pillars arranged behind the city gate, which are as thick as three people to hug, and the top of the stone pillars emits a magical aura like mist.

This is a type of urban enchantment node that prevents portals from opening inside the city, protects against evil monsters, and greatly affects camouflage or illusion effects.

Although under the combination of the Book of Appearanceless + the Perfect Reader, the effect of breaking the illusion is useless to An Yizhi.

A similar enchantment also exists in Yamen City, which can be regarded as the standard configuration of big cities, and ordinary villages and towns are not capable of doing it at all, indicating that Kodo County is really rich.

Touching the camouflage on his face, seeing that it had not been eliminated, An Yizhi walked along the road with confidence.

There are a large number of shops on the road, most of which cater to adventurers, and the crowds are so dense that it is almost impossible to see the road.

It's not just players who come and go to these shops, NPC adventurers are regulars.

Since Ann is mainly active in dungeons, even in the main world leveling and doing tasks, he is usually with friends he knows, so he really doesn't pay much attention to these NPC adventurers.

Overall, the forum still has a great degree of favor for the setting of NPC adventurers, and many people who can't form a team, or don't like to team up with players, have joined the NPC's adventurer team, and I heard that it's not bad to mix.

In order to facilitate the activities of people who come to Khodo County for the first time, there are a large number of street signs and signs in the city, and if you can't find the way, you can ask the guards passing by......

What the hell is this name.

The lobby of the hotel is a common sight, even in the middle of the day, there are many people gathered here to get drunk and dream, and you can also see many players chatting and laughing with NPCs with their tongues wide open.

In addition to serving alcohol, the inn also has rows of billboards with scattered notes on one side of the wall.

Most of those are claimable quests, with high and low rewards, and most of them are going to the Swamp of the Dead to pick herbs, or hunt animals.

In addition to the missions, there are also some team recruitment information on the bulletin board.

NPCs are not infinitely respawnable like players, and many NPC adventurer squads are in a state of shortage, and eligible players can also join them.

An Yizhi was like a novice who came to Cordor County for the first time, and went straight to the bulletin board as soon as he entered the door, and found a public notice on it that said 'Looking for a mage teammate, treatment interview', and the room number of this hotel was also marked below.

Going up the stairs on both sides of the hotel lobby, An Yizhi found the room smoothly and knocked on the door.

"Please come in."

A woman's voice sounded young from behind the door.

He pushed the door open and entered, and saw three NPC adventurers who were supposed to be from the same squad preparing for the adventure in the room.

There was only one woman in her twenties, who was a priest of Losanda by the emblem on her chest, and the other two were an archer with a short bow and a warrior in light leather armor.

"Hello, I saw your recruitment of mages."

The priestess nodded and said:

"Well, that's right, please bring the door when you come in."

An Yizhi turned to close the door, and the moment the door frame closed, he saw a rune disappear quickly.

Because he'd seen it so many times, he knew that thing was a soundproof rune, which meant he wasn't in the wrong place.

"You may be seated."

The warrior brought a chair and said a little sullenly.

"Thank you."

Immediately, An Yizhi took the initiative to find a white round stone from her pocket, and the priestess also took out an identical one from her pocket when she saw this.

The two stones are placed together, and the white light is hazy like the spring sun, which is the proof of the joint.

After confirming that it was correct, the three of them breathed a sigh of relief undetectably, and the female pastor smiled and said:

"Finally you're here, Mr. Ann Ichchi."

It seemed that this was the first time that the three of them had done something similar to that of an underground party, and they were nervous, for fear that the next moment Lopwen's soldiers would rush in and take them away for espionage and throw them into prison to pick up soap.

"I'm Lena, and this is Rebine."

The priestess Lena pointed to the warrior on the side, then to the archer who was adjusting the bowstring:

"He's Bloom."

After a brief self-introduction, Ann was ready to get to the point with a casual greeting, he didn't run so far to meet new people.

"Burns told me you have information I need to know."

Speaking of Burns, Lena put away her smile and said:

"Something has been wrong with the Swamp of the Dead lately, and we don't think it's a good time to go in and do whatever you plan to do when you go in."

The three of them didn't know that Ann Yizhi was here to investigate the Oaking Church, they only knew that An Yizhi would go into the depths of the Swamp of the Dead.

Burns had previously approached Ann, and they had received information that the people of the Wolkin Temple had been frequenting the Dead Swamp recently, and that there was eyewitness information that they had traded with the Lizardmen.

Because the Waujin Temple is allied with the demons, and it is inseparable from the disappearance of the city lord and the bishop of the Tyre Temple, any abnormal movement of them will cause the Dawn Temple to be alert, so he let An Yizhi go on this investigation alone.

In the final analysis, this information was reported to the Temple of Dawn by Lin Linglin and them, and An Yizhi had already known about it when he was eating and chatting with his wife.

I have to say that a high reputation is good, and the information that others have wasted a lot of effort to get their hands on, An Yizhi can easily get it without asking.

However, Ann Yizhi did not expect that this trip would be rewarding, the area of the Swamp of the Dead was huge, and there were countless tribes of lizardmen, so it was difficult to find the one that was related to the Waujin Temple.

And even if they do, it's unlikely that they'll get any information, mainly because lizardfolk are very xenophobic, and any race other than their own race will be considered an enemy, and they'd rather die than confide a word in others.

Therefore, An Yizhi is actually more human, after all, Bishop Tolan has talked about this several times, and An Yizhi is embarrassed to always refuse.

"About the lizardmen's movements? I know something about this, they have been attacking merchant ships in droves lately. ”

"It's worse than that."

As she spoke, Lena felt for something the size of an egg, like the egg of some kind of creature, its skin was soft and translucent, and a small black shadow could be seen swimming inside.

This is the egg of the Golden Ant, one of the main products of the Swamp of the Dead, and the embryo juice inside the egg can be used to make potions, so it is very valuable.

"Usually golden ant eggs are rare, but recently there are so many of them on the market that many adventurers can even find them on the edge of the swamp."

Unlike ordinary ants, golden ants do not have a queen-centered social structure, but are more solitary, male and female, and usually live under soft soil.

The eggs found by the adventurers are basically waste that cannot be hatched and are discarded by the golden ants themselves, and the abandoned ant eggs appear in large numbers......

"Is there anything in the swamp that is affecting the hatching of the eggs?"

"That's what we think too."

The situation is similar to when Ann Yizhi went to the Misty Forest, and the evil aura that escaped from the demon lord sealed below caused the animals in the forest to kill each other and the vegetation withered.

An Yizhi immediately thought of the first city lord of Lopwen City who was resurrected by the demon, and said that he disappeared without warning after wandering outside Lopwen City for a few days, and it was not impossible for him to run into the Swamp of the Dead from the position.

However, it is impossible for the undead to affect the Golden Ant, and there are countless undead in the Swamp of the Dead, and if they do, the Golden Ant will have already moved.

An Yizhi frowned, touching his chin and secretly thinking about it.

Don't...... What's the big deal with me?

- In terms of this troublemaker's ability, it's normal.
