Chapter 851 You Might Run Into Ghosts
Wynter immediately noticed how strange the alley was: She unfastened her helmet and quickly entered. the alleyway.
The bodyguards wanted to follow, but Wolf prohibited them from doing so. He carried his black bag and followed behind Wynter with bright eyes.
As they walked, Wynter pondered if they would face an evil spirit who would make them make a choice. But as she walked further into the alleyway, she could sense that the other party wasn’t an evil spirit.
Considering the rumors Tobias had heard and the fact that the thick fog was able to affect the weather, Wynter recalled a legend.
The legend claimed that a snake would need to undergo spiritual practice for 100 years before it is able to ascend into a dragon.
On the other hand, a dragon would need to undergo 1000 years of spiritual practice and undergo the trials of the Heavens and the Earth before being able to ascend into a full–fledged dragon.
Hence, every dragon would need to take on a human form, find someone they were destined to meet, and ask them a question before they can ascend.
If the person they asked said that they looked like a dragon, the practitioner would be able to ascend on
the spot.
Wynter walked forward. She narrowed her eyes and looked at the thick fog ahead.
Atwater had once told her that dragons would often appear at the South–West corner of the city 100 years
ago.
After all, the dragon fortune there was abundant. So, many dragons wanted to use the dragon fortune to
aid in their ascension,
Everything used to be peaceful until an evil dragon appeared. It had been selfish and ruined many families. It had killed many people and eaten them.
All of the people there were filled with resentment as their cries for help echoed throughout the land.
Later on, a medium had come from the mountains to seal the dragons under the river. He had also asked the locals to build a dragon lock chain.
Even to this day, the related department would avoid the stone pillars that held the dragon lock chain whenever they were repairing the bridge.
Such stone pillars to ward off the evil dragon were scattered around the outskirts of Kingbourne.
They had done so to ensure that the power of the country’s fortune and the dragon fortune would
continue to prosper.
Atwater had specifically told her there would not be any problems with those seals.
If one seal had come undone, the other seals would weaken with it. By that time, anything that came out of the seal would be tough to deal with. It might even end up affecting the country’s fortune.
So what went wrong?
As Wynter was deep in thought, she suddenly heard a set of footsteps that did not belong to her.
Was anyone else here, aside from her and Wolf?
Wynter did not stop. She continued to walk forward.
After Sothoth had returned to the alleyway, he was quite delighted with what he found. The “she” that the lord was talking about could not be a young woman and a child.
He loved the souls of young women and children. Not only were they delicious, but they also helped a lot with his spiritual practice..
That person that the lord was talking about would not know if he secretly took their souls, would they?
With that thought in mind, Sothoth transformed back into a man and blended in with the fog.
This time, he held a document bag in his hands. He looked like an employee from the TV station. His
expression morphed into shock when he saw Wynter and Wolf.
“Why are the two of you here? Didn’t anyone tell you that this alleyway is dangerous?”
Wynter looked at him and frowned slightly.
Wolf wanted to take action as he was currently starving.
However, Wynter stopped him with a smirk. She looked at him and gestured for him to keep quiet.
Wolf pursed his lips. He didn’t quite understand why Wynter did not allow him to eat that snake–like thing before him. It was not like they were a rare and protected species.
Sothoth did not understand what they were doing and assumed the young lady was just holding her
brother back.
So, he walked closer in consideration. The hoarseness of his voice increased as he said, “It’s not good for you two to stay here for long. You might run into ghosts. Follow me. I’ll lead you two out of here.”
