The wind howls in the desolate wilderness, and a few small gray-black dots are slowly moving forward. They almost blend into the gray environment. If you don't observe carefully, you will ignore them.
Lorraine was in this small team, following the captain on foot with great enthusiasm. Different from the previous escape-like migrations, this hiking trip had too many extraordinary details.
First of all, everyone’s backpacks are full of food and drink. This is the basis for the team to keep moving forward. Secondly, although several people in the team are not familiar with each other, they can help each other, support each other, and even encourage each other.
The leader of the team was also a young man, about 20 years old. Lorraine didn't even know the other person's name, but he listened to the other person's story about Harmony Village and the Black Forest.
The thrilling plot made everyone in the team forget the pain of traveling far away. Because every sentence was simple and simple, close to the lives of poor people. Everyone listened carefully, and the more they listened, the more fascinated they became, and they felt the same.
The captain said that he went to the Black Forest because he was desperate, but no human settlement would accept a waste like him with no skills, so he had no choice but to work in the Black Swamp Village. After seeing the swamp that swallowed countless creatures, he
I feel that one day I will become the mud in the swamp.
"Black Marsh Village is really a terrible place. It's hard for people living there to survive more than half a year. Many people even go crazy on the day they arrive. I don't want to think about how I survived now. Those things are too terrible.
.
One day Victor Hugo came and saved us and the whole village. I was punished with hard labor for hiding the goods of the profiteer Rubio, but I was still very happy. Thinking about it now,
It was so stupid at the time.
I followed Mr. Hugo out of Black Marsh Village, but I couldn't get on the carriage, so I had to follow on two legs with an empty stomach. It was miserable at that time. Many people gave up halfway or died. Now I have food and drink.
We can definitely go back."
The young captain was quite optimistic. He asked everyone to take a five-minute break every hour to eat some food and water. Normally everyone would be happy to take a break. But there were no stories to listen to during the break. Instead, everyone ate and drank, and instead rushed on the road.
The captain happily took out the can of stamina potion and took a sip, and then cursed, "This damn thing is so powerful." The team members also took a sip and imitated the curse. After the curse, they felt warm all over and became even more powerful.
Relax.
Lorraine was carrying a backpack that did not match her thin figure and shouted urgently: "Captain, continue. When you arrived at Ironforge Village, did you really see the elf ruins?"
The young captain smiled but did not continue telling the story. He raised his head slightly, clasped his hands on his chest, and shouted "Holy Light" in a pious tone. After receiving the instructions after a while, he determined the direction of travel before setting off again.
Lorraine was very curious, and then asked: "Captain, who are you calling?"
"There are no roads in the wilderness, and we are not familiar with geography, so we must determine the direction towards the 'Holy Light'." The captain replied with a smile, "In the past, anyone could call for the 'Holy Light', but now you can only get it if you are recognized by the 'Holy Light'
reply."
Recognized by the ‘Holy Light’?
The rookies in the team heard it like a dream, and subconsciously regarded the 'Holy Light' as a god-like existence. The other rookies were just curious, but only Lorraine was brave enough to call out 'Holy Light' softly.
No response...
Lorraine suddenly felt lost. The captain just smiled and called everyone on their way. But after a while, a voice entered Lorraine's brain directly and greeted softly: "Hello, Lorraine, what do you need the Holy Light to do for you?
"
Ah..., Lorraine was so surprised that she almost jumped up. The poor girl had never experienced this at all. She quickly raised her head and waved her hands and shouted: "No, no, I don't need anything."
The captain looked back, but kept walking. The other rookies were surprised by Lorraine's boldness, fearing that she would cause trouble. Lorraine heard soft laughter, "Don't be afraid, just call me if you need it. Holy Light
By your side."
Feeling impunity, Lorraine took a few steps to catch up with the team. The captain at the front smiled and whispered: "Let me tell you a secret. Being able to summon the Holy Light means that Victor Hugo is near us.
With the Holy Light, we don't have to worry about losing our direction. We can easily contact other companions around us and get help at any time. As long as there is the Holy Light, we are not afraid of anything. When we get to Harmony Village, you will find that it is the best village in the world.
."
The captain continued to tell the story of the Black Forest, and the rookies listened even more fascinatedly. All the fatigue of the journey was forgotten, only the heart was burning. But just a few hundred meters away from them, little Powell led several subordinates to rush out of the thick fog, his eyes
An indifferent glance.
"How can these damn bitches run so fast?" Little Powell had a look of anger and frost on his face. With his whole body covered in ice, he was not afraid of the severe cold and strong winds, but he could not catch up with his target. The horse he was riding was tired.
He snorted and was no longer willing to continue running.
In a dark environment, the human eye's vision is greatly reduced. Little Powell failed to see the target that was receding a few hundred meters away, but fell into a new difficulty - he was a little lost.
Road, road!
Under the Iron Curtain where there are no sun, moon or stars, roads are the most important landmarks. Once off the road, even the local guide can easily lose his way in the cold wind of the North.
The terrain outside the wilderness is very similar, and it is difficult to determine where you are from the blur of vision. Powell has just been promoted to the Ice Knight, and the first ability he gained is to pray in the wind and ask the Winter Goddess for directions.
But the first-level ice knight only asked questions every day. Little Powell had been chasing for several kilometers and had already asked questions. At this moment, he could only vent his anger wantonly and crack the riding crop in his hand.
At noon, Old Bank led the wizard group to catch up with Louis Firth and cast a spell to determine the general direction of the escape target.
However, high-level spells cannot be released casually. This requires preparation in advance and consumes a lot of arcane materials. Old Bank can only play it once, and the rest must be chased by the Banshee Knights themselves.
Little Powell was responsible for leading several brothers to pursue Lorraine's retreating team. However, he managed to catch up, but failed in the end - a thick fog enveloped him, and when he got out of the thick fog, he could not tell the difference between north, south and east.
The days were short and the nights were long in the North, and the pursuit lasted for a long time without even a drink of water. The brothers around little Powell were very frustrated. They looked at their brother with pleading expressions on their faces, trying to persuade him to return, but they did not dare to speak.
"What do you think I'm doing? If we can't catch up with those untouchables, it means our failure." Little Powell snapped his whip again angrily, "You can tolerate failure, but I can't."
Several brothers and attendants shook their heads together and asked in a low voice: "Where are we chasing? What if we catch up? Would Victor Hugo really run away for a few servants or even slaves? If it were you, you would do this
Dry?"
This was like a bucket of cold water poured down on him. Little Powell felt discouraged, but he had to admit the fact. If he were in Zhou Qingfeng's position, he would never run away for a few slaves who escaped.
Maybe those running slaves are confusing the pursuers' sight and distracting the pursuers.
But if you can't catch even one of Zhou Qingfeng's slaves, how can you do business this time?
Little Powell was a level six warrior before. He thought that after becoming the Frozen Knight, he would definitely be able to compete with Zhou Qingfeng. Even if he couldn't defeat the opponent, he still had to make the boy who looked down on him suffer some losses.
But now I discovered that Victor Hugo was difficult to deal with, and his servants were also difficult to deal with. He disappeared without a trace and could not be caught up with him.
Little Powell felt vaguely uneasy, lowered his head and frowned. He vaguely realized that a group of untouchables could travel long distances in the wild, which was a very scary thing. But he couldn't tell what was so scary.
Chapter completed!
