Several minutes after entering the Dark Mountain Range, the sky around them visibly dimmed. The clouds overhead seemed to blanket the entire sky, and the light filtering through was obscure and murky. The change was clearly far beyond any normal natural phenomenon. Obviously, the "Wall of Lorisa" shrouding the mountains had begun to take effect. It not only prevented energy within the mountains from leaking out, but also kept certain things from the outside world from entering.
"In fact, it isn't only the creatures in the Dark Mountain Range that are trapped by the Wall of Lorisa. Adventurers who come in from outside are also affected by the energy field in the mountains," Becky explained as she led the way. "Powerful adventurers and mercenaries aren't affected as much, but weaker ones may suffer all kinds of negative effects, such as losing their sense of direction, impaired memory, and difficulty casting spells.
