Chapter 746: Elven Ruins
Because the team did not move fast, they did not reach the next town before dark. The caravan leader who was familiar with this area quickly found an elven ruins suitable for setting up a camp.
When they arrived at the Elven Ruins, it was already dark. Most of the people in the convoy stayed inside the ruins to set up camp. Several attendants from the knight team said they would go outside to hunt some prey. Leo and Sylvia also took the initiative to stand at this time.
Come out and join the hunt.
After some chats during the day, other people in the team already knew Leo and Sylvia, two foreign knights, but they did not think they were knights because they did not wear knight armor, knight swords, etc.
Standard equipment, and there is a woman among them, which is really different from the knights people know, so even if no one in the team accuses the two of being liars, no one recognizes their knight status.
However, those wandering knights did not deny Leo and Sylvia's self-proclaimed knighthood. As wandering knights, they had also been in trouble, and it was not uncommon for them to sell their armor and knight swords in order to make a living, and they also knew
Some countries do have female knights. In addition, they have met many nobles, and they can see that Leo and Sylvia's conversation and clothing are definitely not ordinary people. This also makes them doubtful of Leo's words.
Now Leo and Sylvia took the initiative to go out hunting, which made the old knight a little suspicious, because he had also encountered bandits disguised as wandering knights before, and then cooperated with foreigners to sneak attack the knight patrol team at night, so he secretly
He ordered his attendants who were also going out hunting to secretly observe their every move to determine whether Leo and Sylvia were lurking in danger.
Although the voice of the old knight's instructions was very low, both Leo and Sylvia easily heard his voice. Neither of them showed any abnormality in this regard. On the contrary, they were happy to see the result, because this was the only way for him to
Only he can reassure the wandering knight, otherwise no matter how hard he explains, the wandering knight will not be able to rest assured about their origins.
Leaving the elven ruins, several people came to a forest. Several attendants began to set up traps, took out bows and arrows, and looked for prey. However, they saw Leo and Sylvia standing there with empty hands without any movement. One of the attendants
He couldn't help but mocked: "Mr. Leo, Miss Sylvia, don't you French people need tools for hunting? Or do you French people have special abilities like warlocks, which can make the prey run into your arms?"
Coming here?"
Leo ignored the ridicule of these people, turned to look at Sylvia, and said, "Are you coming, or am I coming?"
"I'll do it!" Sylvia said, took out the crossbow, and seemingly casually shot two arrows into a dark area in the woods. Then, in the eyes of everyone's puzzled eyes, she reset the crossbow.
Hanging on the waist.
Leo walked towards the dark woods. After a while, he saw him walking out carrying four fat rabbits. The two arrows shot by Sylvia just now penetrated two of them respectively.
The head of a rabbit.
Seeing this scene, all the knight attendants couldn't help but swallow dryly, their necks felt a little cold, and they looked at Sylvia with a little more awe.
"Everyone, please continue." After Sylvia took the rabbit from Leo's hand, she turned and said to the knight attendants, and then walked to the camp with Leo.
Not long after Leo and Sylvia left, they came back with four prey, which naturally surprised the people in the camp. However, unlike ordinary people who focused all their attention on the prey, those wandering knights were more
I noticed that the wounds on the prey were all pierced by two rabbits with one arrow. This means that the person who took the shot was definitely not a coincidence and had absolute strength to complete it.
"Is it a man?" a wandering knight whispered.
"No, she's a woman." The wandering knight with good eyesight on the other side gestured towards the hand crossbow hanging on Sylvia's waist.
"They actually use crossbows and call themselves knights. I think they are liars!" A wandering knight who had just joined the Knights said disdainfully.
The other wandering knights around heard the words and did not agree or refute. Only one wandering knight patted the man on the shoulder and went about his own business, leaving the man with a puzzled look on his face.
Capello, the veteran knight who is the leader of this team of knights, did not explain anything to the newcomer. Some ways of thinking require personal experience to change. Otherwise, no matter how much others say, it will be useless, because this is his personal experience.
.
As newcomers who have just become wandering knights and have not really experienced the cruelty of the world, they still have in their minds the honor and rules of knights they did when they became knights. For example, knights must face the enemy directly, knights cannot use crossbows and other rules, but only by becoming
Only those who have been wandering knights for many years know that survival is the most important thing. As long as you can survive, you can fight in any way. When necessary, knights will even use pitchforks, a seemingly crude but actually powerful magical weapon.
It is not that there are no knights who always abide by the laws of knights and behave according to the knight's code of conduct. Such people either die on the way forward, or they have become knight models and stand above everyone's heads.
Leo and Sylvia ignored the knights' attention. They would hand over four rabbits to the caravan's chef for processing, two of them as a reward for processing, and the other two for their own consumption.
After solving the food problem, Leo found a relatively flat open space in the ruins, swept away the dust, found some hay, and spread it on the ground.
At this time, Sylvia seemed to be attracted by the reliefs on the ruins that originated from the Elf Kingdom.
After Leo took care of the resting camp, he walked to Sylvia's side and stared at the exquisite-looking patterns on it.
"Have you ever heard of elves?" Sylvia asked in a deep voice.
In the world of Velen, there are folk legends about spirits and goblins, but there are no such species as elves.
In the past two days, when Sylvia was practicing language, the question she asked most about others was what kind of race the elves were.
However, the answers given by the locals were all different. Most of them used hostile names such as pointy ears to replace the name Elf. Therefore, all the information she finally got was that this place was once the location of the Elf Kingdom.
The kingdom was destroyed by Toussaint, and even the elves were killed. The people of Toussaint hated the elves, and there was no information about elves in Toussaint.
Although from the words of the locals, elves have almost become synonymous with inferiority, Sylvia can see from the architectural form of the elven ruins and the exquisite patterns on the ruined walls that the elves have a very unique understanding of beauty and will never do it.
It is so unbearable among the local people.
"This pattern imitates the trend of vines. It is just a decorative pattern, but..." Leo looked at the pattern on the ruined wall, analyzed the content inside, and followed the pattern with his fingers to the end, but that end was not
It was not a flower, but a symbol, and he said: "This symbol is somewhat like the runes of Lake Town. If it is not damaged, some extraordinary power should be generated here."
"Being able to apply extraordinary power to buildings, it seems that the elven kingdom here should have a very high extraordinary civilization, and there should be many extraordinary people among these elves." Sylvia said with confusion:
"But why were they defeated by Toussaint's people, or even massacred? There don't seem to be many people with extraordinary power in Toussaint. Do they just rely on these knights? Even if there are more than a hundred such knights, just relying on them
You and I can easily get rid of them."
Leo was stunned for a moment when he heard Sylvia's words, turned to look at her, and asked: "Isn't it affecting you?"
"Influence? What influence?" Sylvia looked at Leo in confusion.
Leo asked again: "Is it because the power of the body is limited?"
"No?" Sylvia answered immediately, but perhaps she felt that the answer was too hasty. She checked her body carefully and then shook her head firmly and said: "No, there are no restrictions.
Are your powers limited?"
"Some of them are restricted." Leo answered simply.
He found that he had some misunderstandings, because he had entered other worlds more than once in the past, and he was accustomed to the more or less limited power in his body when entering other worlds. For example, now in his body, all the power belonging to the divine mark of the world of Velen could not be used.
Including the power of the True Eye, apart from spiritual power, the only things that can be used are the power of nightmares and the power of several outer gods.
Under the influence of inertial thinking, Leo also thought that Sylvia's power was also limited. Sylvia didn't say it was because he was worried, but he didn't expect that he completely misunderstood. Sylvia's power was not limited at all.
, naturally there is nothing to say or not to say.
This also made Leo feel inexplicably embarrassed, which seemed to be similar to the self-love mentioned in the book. In order to ease this embarrassing mood, Leo changed the topic and said: "Want to go on an adventure?"
"Adventure?" Sylvia saw that Leo was a little embarrassed, but she didn't know why he was embarrassed. Now that he changed the subject, she asked casually: "Did you discover some secret room in the Elf Kingdom?
of?"
"There is a secret room." Leo nodded.
"Isn't it? There is really a secret room." Sylvia immediately became interested and asked: "What is in the secret room? Is it treasure?"
Leo explained: "I don't know, there is some power in the secret room, and I can't sense the situation inside."
"Let's go and have a look!" Sylvia immediately became excited.
At Sylvia's urging, Leo asked the caravan for two torches. Although the recorder in his hand could produce light, it would be difficult to explain if someone saw it.
After getting the torch, the two turned around and walked out of the open space where the camp was located, walking around the edge of the ruins to the other side, a place like a courtyard. Here there were not only some broken stone benches, but also
There are many broken statues and a large number of vines covering them, which makes people feel an inexplicable desolation.
Leo and Sylvia's actions were not hidden. Naturally, they were seen by the wandering knights and guessed what they were going to do. However, the knights did not send anyone to follow them to see if they could find anything.
Treasures such as the inheritance of the Elf Kingdom, because they felt that the two of them were doing useless work.
In the past few years, not only the officials of the Principality of Toussaint have repeatedly searched and found all valuable items that could be found, but even the statues have been torn down, and even some treasure hunters, bandits and impoverished knights, etc.
They have repeatedly raided these elven ruins and taken away the last bit of fish that slipped through the net.
Like the current elven ruins, it happens to be right next to the main road of the principality. A bandit group once stationed here. How could there be valuable things in such a place?
Therefore, all the wandering knights, including the old knight Capello, thought that Leo and Sylvia were two foreigners who were curious about the elf ruins. When they saw the elf ruins, they thought of the stories told by the bards.
They thought they were the protagonists in the story, but in fact they could only find a pile of dust, which made them laugh as they waited to see the two foreigners come back disgraced.
In the small garden of the ruins, Leo's spiritual network penetrated into the surrounding underground. He carefully sensed the situation underground and said, "These elves not only master extraordinary powers, but also know how to create some exquisite machinery."
As he spoke, he saw him walking to one of the broken statues. He squatted down and found a relief sculpture on the base. He put his fingers into the eye sockets of the monster relief sculpture and pulled it out with a slight force.
Then rotate it twice and press it back into the previous groove.
Then there was an extremely weak vibration on the ground, and two strange sounds came from the pool in the middle of the garden. The water in the pool dropped quickly, and the bottom was soon visible.
When the water drained away, a complete large stone in the middle began to slowly sink, revealing a pit and a downward ladder.
Because the ladder was made of wood and had completely decayed over the years, Leo motioned for him to go down first to explore the path, then jumped directly from the opening and quickly landed on the ground. At the same time, he used the power of nightmares to imitate the demon hunter.
Dharma Seal lit the torch and looked around.
As bright light appeared below, Sylvia above also saw clearly the situation in the secret room. Before Leo could speak, she jumped down from above and landed firmly beside Leo.
"Even after so many years, this place is still full of powerful energy." Leo looked at the scene around him and exclaimed in admiration, while trying to use the mental network to detect the surroundings. As a result, he found that there was a large amount of energy around that interfered with the mental network.
