Alexander's Memoirs - The Trail Blazers Chapter 16 The news skeleton of the first pioneer team?
"By the way, you just said that you are from... the country of humans, the Holy Empire of Kanado?" Then Noli repeated the word with some uncertainty.
The wizard pointed in the direction of the temple ruins: "I guess Ankaluo Village may be the camp site chosen by the second pioneer team. Judging from this direction, the temple ruins may be the settlement site of the first pioneer team, right?
.”
"They...are they the ruins of a certain church?" Noli's memory of religion is very vague, but she still remembers the concept of church.
"I don't know, this is just a guess, but what is certain is that the clearest part of my past memory is indeed not in the rain forest. I once served in the Eagle Knights of Woburn City."
After a brief silence, Noli said, "Have you ever fought with them...the unclean creatures near the temple ruins?" Her speculation process was very different from ordinary people's thinking.
The wizard just shook his head, "It's just a guess based on the existing memory. It's just a guess."
"Well... do you know where the survivors among them went? We saw some other traces before."
The wizard shook his head again, and after a short silence he said: "It is impossible for me to return to my hometown. If you have the opportunity to return to human civilization, you will definitely pass through a town where evil is spreading. Be careful...their hearts.
It has been changed and gradually distorted by external forces. After so many years, I can’t imagine what it looks like now, and I don’t know how you crossed their territory.”
"You pointed us in the direction we came from?" Noli recalled the document she had read in the desert, which had the seals of nobles from several places on it. The wizard nodded.
"Okay, then finally...Mr. Wizard, you can understand the content of that book, right? If you don't want to lose the support of nature, then how about I do it for you? According to you, I
There is no chance anymore." Perhaps because too many things have happened in the past few days, and the effectiveness of the healing potion is limited after all, Noli's own logic has become a bit confusing.
The wizard took a deep look at Noli: "I have lost the favor of nature, which is why I need to use the transformation power of Guilan."
Noli rubbed her forehead and may have realized that there was something wrong with her statement, but she still didn't end the topic: "I won't force you, I just want to ask, according to your understanding, can this special method in the book still work?
Will it be further deepened and advanced?”
The wizard still patiently answered her: "Redevelopment is feasible, but it requires a lot of manpower and material resources, and it also requires luck."
"Manpower..." The amount of work she carried out was beyond Noli's imagination.
"I understand, thank you for your advice, and please take care of yourself. By the way, if your strength comes from those flowers, have you seen anything that can alleviate the symptoms of strength decline? Maybe we will find something tomorrow?
"Noli had already turned around, but quickly turned back and asked another question.
"The only way is to get the same power again, probably." The wizard answered succinctly.
"Is cutting out flesh to treat sores..." This word popped into Noli's mind for the first time.
"This is the most direct way I know. I have never seen the others." A lot of time had passed, and the wizard stood up and continued to play with bottles and jars, intending to end the topic.
"Thank you, please be more careful tomorrow." Noli thanked the wizard again, then returned to Alexander, said hello to her, and then knelt down to touch Susie who was waiting obediently, waiting for Freya to come back.
On the other side, the village chief was teaching several warriors the secret of connecting themselves with the power of nature. Alexander missed the first one and was concentrating on listening to the second one. The first one was called natural healing by the village chief, by guiding nature.
The magic in it calls upon the soul of nature to activate the body's potential to quickly heal wounds during battle, but this healing power is weaker than traditional healing spells.
The second type is called the Grip of Thorns, which can stab or even drag the enemy by growing thorns. Although it can only extend a distance of about ten feet, it is fatal enough when attacking and defending. What's more, this move is more powerful than ordinary spear throwing.
.
After listening to the introduction, Alexander felt that these two abilities were not suitable for archers. He just couldn't understand it. He concentrated on listening to the sounds of nature and so on, but he couldn't hear it at all. Although Noli felt that the magic power described by the lecturer was related to her.
It didn't match, but I was still interested in learning how to use Thorn Grip, hoping to give myself some physical and mental inspiration. I held Susie and listened quietly.
The core of understanding the Grasp of Thorns is to condense the real thorns and maintain the connection with nature to ensure the attack range, and then release this stage...
As expected, it is far different from the operating method of mixing and using one's own magic power with natural magic power... But just treat it as learning, hoping that it will remind me of something in the future. Nori comforted herself in this way.
Alexander frowned as she listened. The method of using the magic power of this spell did not seem to be applicable to long-range weapons, and it did not seem to be of any help to her. Of course, the most important thing was that she did not understand it at all.
As for Susie, she thought her head was shaking slightly as she listened to the explanation of how to use magic power, as if she had some understanding, but of course this was impossible.
the other side.
"Sherlock, I have something to tell you later." Freya walked slowly and hurriedly on the way back. Two minutes away from the camp, she caught up with Sherlock, who looked annoyed, and gave a brief explanation.
After returning to the camp, Freya went to the captain to report the relevant matters and blocked Sherlock who was about to take a rest: "... In short, this is the situation... Will you come with us too?" Freya explained to Sherlock.
After the situation, ask Shylock for his opinion.
"Oh, that's it, okay then." It seemed like Freya wouldn't look good on him if he refused. So Sherlock thought for a moment and nodded in agreement, but answered feebly.
After accepting this, Sherlock asked a soldier to borrow his leather shield and carried it on his back, like an upright turtle with a knife. Freya had already rechecked the necessary items and was ready to go. She
He didn't comment on Sherlock's funny look, but just asked him to rush towards the tribe together, and finally arrived at the tribe at four o'clock in the afternoon.
At this time, Noli and Alexander lowered their heads thoughtfully, while the latter went to look at the scenery again. Susie looked at the little clouded leopards from time to time and seemed very curious.
Some warriors in the village were worried, while others were in high spirits. As for the wizard, he was still changing medicines for several warriors, including disgusting insect therapy... but it was effective.
The early dinner was spent in an atmosphere that was slightly reassuring but made some people uneasy, but it had to be said that the temporary beds set up by the tribe were much better than those in the camp.
Before going to bed, Noli thought about giving the rose orchid petals to the wizard, and went back to lie down without saying much. Freya also had a good sleep for a long time, and Sherlock slept soundly as usual. Alexander was originally
She prepared to stay up late to develop good habits, but no one called her, so she ended up oversleeping and yawning when she woke up at dawn.
When Alexander woke up after a good night's sleep, he found that Noli and Susie seemed to have woken up earlier. They must have quietly gotten up and tidied their things. They were now maintaining their weapons and waiting for others to wake up. Seeing Alexander wake up
Finally, she took Susie and was the first to walk out of the temporary shack.
Alexander simply wiped his face, put on his leather armor, picked up his bow and quiver and stood up, without deliberately lowering his voice. Then Freya also woke up, but she packed her belongings before going to bed, put on her leather armor, and followed.
In one place, Sherlock seemed to be still sleeping.
Noli went to call Sherlock. The first thing Alexander did was to find out if there was anyone she knew in the village. Soon she found that there were a lot of tribal warriors missing in the village, and she didn't know what to do. But when she arrived
When I was at the gate, I saw the wizard, Solas, and the village chief. There were two more people beside them. The first one was the big man who I had seen guarding the gate before but didn't know his name. The second one was a man I hadn't seen before.
They are middle-aged with hooked noses. They are currently inspecting equipment with two teams of ordinary tribal warriors outside the gate, and they seem to be ready to set off immediately.
Susie licked the saliva on Sherlock's face and forced him to wake up. After cleaning his face, he yawned and put on his equipment. The adventurers who got up one after another were all refreshed. Now that I think about it, it may be that herbs were added to yesterday's dinner.
Or some other special condiment that helps sleep. If you think about it carefully, collective amnesia is not necessarily a bad thing for this village. The obsession of the old generation to let go will allow the new generation to thrive in the rainforest.
Hearing Alexander's footsteps, the wizard turned around and nodded to him. Solas also gently raised his weapon and waved it slightly to urge her silently, but he did not see his clouded leopard companion.
"Good morning everyone. It looks like we are getting ready to set off. How do we arrange the route for our team?" Alexander turned around and saw several teammates walking over, so she asked. She was a little worried because she didn't rest in the camp and wanted to go early.
go back.
"When we arrive, the outer perimeter will be cleared, and we will break through the depths." What the wizard said about us obviously includes the adventurers here, which may also be a sign of trust and recognition.
Alexander nodded: "Understood, we will follow you." Freya, who walked out later, also nodded to show that she understood. Noli led Susie behind quietly, but Sherlock still looked listless.
Different from the previous route, this time the joint team turned from the lower reaches of the river to a new road that was recently trodden. The journey was very smooth. They only saw the remains of unclean creatures without any fighting. There was no deviation in the direction, but they arrived at a relatively deserted area.
zone.
The distance between the trees here is very large, there are no grass blades on the ground, and there are many reddish-brown hardenings. This situation is usually caused by drought and is almost impossible to happen in the rainforest. This deserted area is about a hundred meters wide, and the front
But it is a dense forest, giving everyone the feeling that it is hiding something.
Not only that, you can also hear deep roars in the dense forest on this desolate land, but this is different from the beasts the mercenaries have heard in the jungle. After waiting for a few seconds, you can see a shambling human figure.
Creatures appeared, but they were obviously no longer human. Their skin was ulcerated, their muscles were loose, and they were scattered and moving slowly in an unbelievable way, but with no obvious purpose. Two teams of tribal warriors accelerated and ran up to them, so that they could
The two teams at the back would not slow down on their way, so the adventurers could only keep up with the village chief's team at full speed and had no time to ask questions. It was already noon.
"Well... when we first encountered unclean creatures, when we were tracking them, we found that they passed through a bunch of blood-red thorns with parasites. The jungle in front of us is very suspicious." Everyone else said
There was no reply, and Alexander did not have the luxury of speaking while running.
After passing through this forest that seemed dense but was actually sparse no more than a hundred feet inside, a group of long-abandoned buildings appeared in front of us. The style of the buildings looked very familiar, but there was something indescribable about the everyday stone buildings.
The relief on the watch - a pattern of two thick lines intertwined together, seems to be some kind of religious symbol, but no one has any corresponding memories. There are still a few patches of moss and short-lived leaves scattered at the bottom of the building.
There are many vines on the ruins road. There are many bones of unclean creatures on the road of the ruins, and the side of the temple in the central area is a completely deserted area, with no grass growing.
"Seize the time to explore separately, and then gather at the entrance of the temple." The village chief said and at the same time took off the giant ax on his back and walked to the left side of the road. Solas also thoughtfully threw two exquisite torches - in the rain forest
Oil and cloth are both scarce supplies.
Alexander caught the torch and handed it to Nolly and Shylock, but Shylock didn't take it and pointed to his back and said: "I want to take this shield."
Freya took the initiative to take the torch. Noli took out the tinder box and carefully lit the two torches with Freya's help. Then she walked to a place on the right side of the road that looked like a living room.
Walking towards the house, Susie followed the group and paid attention to the movements around her on the way, which can be said to be her due diligence.
Noli arrived and waved a torch towards the door, silently asking for advice from her teammates. Susie walked to the door, put her ear to it, didn't hear anything, and stepped back. Alexander signaled his teammates with body movements.
Maintain the formation, draw the bow and arrow, use a sideways posture, press the metal handle with your elbow to open the wooden door, and move it to one side, enough to let Noli pass. Considering that Noli is using a big sword, Fleur
Ya followed lightly, holding a torch to illuminate the situation behind the door.
The air flow caused by opening the door caused a stream of dust to fly in the passage in front of them. The adventurers looked through the dust and saw the past glory of this place. A restaurant came into view, with some tattered silk covering the entire length of 50 feet.
There was a huge dining table with eight high chairs on each side of the dining table. There were silver candlesticks every ten feet on the already rotten tablecloth, and there were nearly a hundred dinner plates with rotten food on them.
A crackling sound came, and two rotten skeletons with poor equipment walked out of the darkness. A dim orange fire danced in their eye sockets. The adventurers were not surprised. Perhaps they had encountered it before losing their memory and left a deep impression on them.
impression.
There is no doubt that these two unclean creatures were well-equipped soldiers in their lifetime, and they have been corroded by time to look like this. They have cracked skulls, and they seem to have died from blunt force blows to the head. The deep-set eye sockets occasionally beat.
A burst of orange soul fire, perhaps their remaining human hearts. The facial bones are also covered with heavy dust, and even a few ribs are missing. The weapons in the hands of the skeletons are even more scarred. They hook their bodies and use their bones.
The soles of his feet moved slowly.
"Ouch!" The moving bones stimulated Susie. She bent her legs slightly, then rushed out, grabbing one of the skeletons with her sharp claws flashing cold light. Sherlock also jumped out and waved after him.
With a sword, the attack of one man and one wolf turned the skeleton into a pile of withered bones. Alexander aimed accurately, and then removed the right arm bone of the other skeleton. Without Noli dropping the torch and drawing the sword, the second one
He was cut into pieces by Freya, and the fire of the soul was completely extinguished with the fierce double impact. This chapter has been completed!
