Chapter 7 The Hunter and the Dwarf
"Hahahaha - drink! Drink again! Drink again! Last time a giant fought with me, I raised his leg, and then like this..." A tall blond man shouted loudly in the tavern
, he held the wine glass with one hand and gestured something in the air with the other hand.
His appearance was a bit shabby, but his figure was slender, his muscles were bulging, his body was full of strength, and his spirit was very different from ordinary people. However, the brilliance in his eyes was somewhat obscured by alcohol, making his sharpness less obvious.
Everyone in the tavern disagreed with his so-called battle with a giant, but because he invited everyone to drink, everyone agreed with him.
"Are you the hunter who has become very famous recently? Do you dare to go to the dark forest?" Several soldiers found the blond man.
"Dark... dark forest? Hiccup...! You call that small forest a dark forest? Hahahaha——"
The blond man had indeed drunk too much, and he didn't think about it at all. He was ridiculed.
Several soldiers looked at each other, wanting to kill the guy in front of them, but thinking that this guy was going to die, they felt much more balanced.
"A thief has stolen your Majesty's beloved thing. Your Majesty hired loyal and brave men to hunt him down in the dark forest. Do you dare to go?" The soldier also took out a money bag and waved it in front of the hunter's eyes.
The money that comes out is already a huge amount of money for ordinary people.
Thief? Hunting? The blond hunter's head was filled with alcohol, and his thinking ability was almost zero. He shook his head vigorously, trying to sober himself up.
He has traveled to many places over the years and is not fixed in any one area.
He has fought monsters and killed robbers. He enjoys the cheers given to him by everyone, thinking that it has nothing to do with his tribe or his parents, and is an honor that belongs only to him.
The blond man felt that this job was not difficult to do, and he might be a source of conversation at the wine table in the future.
As for the danger of the dark forest, he didn't pay attention at all.
He took the soldier's money bag and said, "I accept this mission! I will bring the people back to you!"
Picking up a tomahawk from the iron stand on the side, and then riding on the horse prepared for him by the soldiers, the blond hunter rushed out of the town and went to the dark forest in the west to hunt down the 'thief'.
The small movements of the soldiers thought they were very hidden, but the queen still saw these scenes through the crow's vision.
"These idiots!"
The queen didn't think that an unknown person who was drunk and dizzy could track down Bella, so she had to use her own method to solve the problem.
She looked through the crows to the edge of the dark forest.
This forest contained chaotic magic left over from ancient times, which would interfere with many of her high-level spells. She did not want to enter the forest unless absolutely necessary.
"Get up, my servants! Follow the ancient contract and you must fight for me!" The queen raised her hands high. She stood alone on the top of the main building of the castle, her golden hair fluttering in the wind, and the surging magic power rushed in all directions.
The blizzard that was about to form in the clouds was dispersed by her magic power.
Queen Ravana is still the most beautiful woman, even without the magic mirror, her strength is not compromised.
A swamp three kilometers away from the dark forest responded to the call of magic. The soil rolled, the earth trembled, and the ground rose high, first the arms, then the head and body, and finally the feet.
Three giant creatures walked out of the swamp. They were five meters tall. Their skin was like rough sand and gravel. They had no hair or eyebrows. They were ugly, and their limbs were thick and full of power.
They are trolls, creatures that are extremely afraid of sunlight.
"Go, go into the forest and bring me the body of that little bitch!" the queen said with an evil look on her face.
The three giant monsters had little intelligence. After receiving the order, they rushed towards the dark forest in the distance like giant wild boars.
...
"Slow down, slow down..." After entering the dark forest, Bella patted the white horse's mane to slow it down.
The chaotic atmosphere here has some impact on her magic power, but the impact is not too great, after all, her strength is low.
It's just that the dead atmosphere in the forest makes Baima very frightened. She needs to be constantly comforted in order to keep the mount she picked up.
The ground in the forest is covered with mud, the trees grow in strange shapes, and the sky is extremely dark. Whenever the leaves are blown by the wind, the rustling sound left behind can make people feel scared.
"Who?!" Bella heard footsteps behind her and couldn't help but look back.
The scene in front of me was no different from a horror movie, with all kinds of weird crooked-necked trees and various weird-looking rocks in sight.
The sky is dim, the ground is dark brown, and everything around is obscure and decayed.
Bella originally wanted to ask the magic mirror about Jotun and the Silver People, but the terrifying atmosphere of the dark forest still made the girl choose to shut up.
She turned over and dismounted. It is true that she has high mobility while riding on the horse, but her riding skills are almost zero, and her ability to fight on horseback is also zero. Once she encounters an enemy or the horse is frightened, she will be in disaster.
Holding the horse with one hand, holding the dagger tightly with the other, relying on the cold thoughts contained in the dagger to keep himself awake.
Bella looked back at the footsteps along the way. She did not dare to wander at the edge of the forest. If she wanted to avoid the pursuers, she had to go deep into the forest. The environment here was not good for herself, but it was also the same for the enemy.
All the way deep into the forest, she stopped when she felt hungry again.
Bella has a mysterious feeling. She should be the most beautiful person in this small area now! A flower in the dark forest, referred to as the forest flower!
As long as the queen does not enter the dark forest, there will be no backlash when she casts a spell.
Ice ray! During this time, she also thought repeatedly about the magic she had learned. At this time, she extended the casting process of ice touch according to her idea. The girl raised her right hand towards the trees not far away, and a silver-white low-temperature ray went straight.
The strike hit the empty space, and the impact point was crystal clear. It was very powerful, but there was no doubt that this move missed...
Just when she was worried about her accuracy, she saw several figures popping up two meters away from where the spell landed.
"Idiot! You must have been exposed!"
"Don't blame me! It was Fili who kicked my ass! It's all Fili's fault!"
"Nonsense! It was Bofur who pulled my pants."
"The soil here has a strange smell."
"Yes, yes, Pompeo is so hungry! Thorin, is there anything to eat?"
"Shut up! Shut up, you idiots! Balin, this guy seems to be a wizard, and he also has the characteristics of a white horse and gray clothes... Is she the person we are looking for?"
The girl Bella held the dagger tightly, and the white horse hid behind her, looking more afraid than she was.
She stared carefully at these weird people emerging from the grass.
One, two, three, four, five, six, seven! Bella counted the heads back and forth twice, then carefully looked at the heights of these guys, and her guard relaxed a little.
Chapter completed!
