The ruins immersed in darkness revealed a special blue-grey color under the light of the gemstones, which is the unique color of basalt. [*You] Among the many ethnic groups in Warnd, only the Miner people like to use this special igneous rock to build buildings.
The majestic building and ruins stood quietly in the forest. The escort knights passed through the basalt pillars and dragged the huge pine bear corpse with its ribs through the rope to the center of the camp located in the middle of the ruins.
A pile of corpses piled up like a hill.
The team encountered these uninvited guests half an hour ago. Pine bears belong to a category of terrifying beasts, which the Cruz people call ferocious animals. They are creatures between monsters and animals. Unlike monsters, their magic power escapes after death and only remains.
It crystallized and became the best food reserve for Brando and his party.
I'm pretty lucky. After entering the Evernight Forest, I can hardly see any living animals, except for the occasional small animal that gets lost. There are no huge carnivorous beasts inhabiting the Anlaser Forest. This group of pine bears should come from Lantoni.
In the northern part of Lanzhou, he strayed into the forest and was eroded by the dark magic. He went crazy and attacked Brando and his party.
Chelando knew that pine bears are actually very gentle carnivores. They usually only hunt large herbivores. For example, the deer on the north shore of Crystal Lake, or a hippopotamus-sized animal.
The scientific name is a cloven-hoofed herbivore called the slave cow. However, it rarely attacks humans.
The recorded fur of the pine bear was rolled up and thrown aside. Peiya took the initiative to take on this task. For a hunter girl, this was a job that she was familiar with. Peiya used a skin recording knife to make a slit from the spine, and then turned it over.
The hunter's skin-recording knife is a knife that has been passed down from generation to generation. The blade is curved, slightly curved, and has a long and narrow edge, like a silver ruler. She made the incision to the tail vertebra, then unfolded it to both sides, and it took only ten minutes to record a complete bear skin.
Come.
Brando looked at it for a while and then turned around. He was holding a bright yellow amber-like transparent crystal in his hand. This was the magic crystal left by the Dusk Dog. Its size was larger than that of the Black Wolf, and the magic power contained in it was also smaller.
More, but there was no satisfaction on Brando's face. He stared at a messy lair where several sharp white rocks intertwined not far in front of him.
This should be the Dusk Dog's lair, but now only the destroyed ruins remain.
Someone got there first. I don’t know if it was Anlek or a Cruz. From a distance, Nymesis and Freya stepped on the scattered stones with one foot deep and one foot shallow. The female knight came closer and shook her head at him:
"No valuable clues were found. They did not camp here. After destroying the nest, they left to the north. There were traces of fighting nearby, but the scale was not large. Perhaps there is another possibility. The Dusk Dog was captured before he could react.
The other side was wiped out.”
"Twilight dogs are very alert...
"...But it seems they are coming from another direction?"
"It's very possible that I haven't noticed any clues before. These people should not be walking on the same path as us." Nymesis thought for a while and said.
"I believe in your judgment. But do you think it's Anlek or a Cruz?" Brando's words, "I believe in your judgment, made Nymesis raise her head slightly and glance at him in surprise:
"It is very likely that the Anlek Cruz people entered the forest from Wallundenburg and would not deviate from this direction. However, other possibilities cannot be ruled out. Mr. Count, are there any adventurers in this forest?" "Occasionally.
There are some."
Nymesis raised her head and looked in the direction of the forest, thoughtfully. Freya asked in a low voice: "Brando, do you want to continue moving forward?" "No, Enlek is still in Anlaser Forest.
But it's only a week ahead of us. He won't be more familiar with this forest than us. If they didn't take a route with us, then we would have almost recovered one day." Brando actually didn't want to talk to Enlek too early.
Meeting, because Enlek should not know yet that it would be better for them to meet each other later and cause bloodshed. Moreover, Nymesis' previous words reminded him that if there were no traces of large-scale battles in the forest, he would doubt it.
The leader of the Dusk Dog might still be wandering in the forest.
"Let's camp," he said: "The vastness of the Black Forest is difficult for ordinary people to understand. Let everyone take a good rest. This time I'm afraid it won't be a day or two. [*You]"
Freya glanced at him and nodded obediently.
The dinner was a sumptuous Pine Bear Banquet, and the chefs were Charles and Pea.
According to Charles himself, he was a gourmet during his lifetime and traveled to many areas just to learn and record the local food culture: Peya has all the qualities that a child from a poor family should have, such as hard work, tenacity, and ingenuity.
, and is also very handy in handling prey.
Bear soup, roasted bear meat and warm bonfires brought a touch of warmth to this silent and cold night. Brando asked Hipamilla to set up a barrier to isolate sounds and smells to prevent attracting more people in the forest.
Monster.
Ciel calls it a "dinner party in the forest." It is said that Mglin, the goblin king of the Ellanta Chinoz Peninsula, often entertains guests in the forest. It is the night goblins who light up various magic lamps in the forest.
, like an open-air palace, hence the name of the feast in the forest. The metaphor of the young wizard's attendant was approved by everyone. Although they could not drink as much as they wanted, everyone still praised the 'rich' food.
The dinner in the forest came to an end after about 1 o'clock, and the ruins quickly became silent. The knights from the Royal Knights are the most outstanding soldiers of Eruin, and naturally they cannot be as disciplined as ordinary noble private soldiers.
Scattered. Only the red flames, dancing shadows and night-watching knights remained in the camp.
Brando especially likes bonfires in the dark.
The bright firelight seemed to be able to dispel the darkness and coldness in people's hearts. Whenever he sat by the campfire and watched the dancing flames outline the outline of the ground, he couldn't help but think of his past days in the game. Compared with the dullness of ordinary adventurers.
, the players always have no taboos. The senior sister sometimes proposes to hold some small activities. These episodes are always accompanied by laughter. Brando often recalls several interesting experiences and can't help but smile knowingly on his face.
Intention comes.
Medissa put her hand on the title page of a red-covered book and quietly looked at her lord. Sometimes she could often see the look of memories on Brando's face. But she never asked too much, she could only think in her heart.
I secretly thought that it must be quite a warm memory.
Medissa also has some warm memories. She often remembers everything in the past since her soul returned to this world. But memory is a painful process for the undead. When she thinks of her sister, mother, and father, her soul seems to be
Just like Luli. The magic of darkness always tempted her to think about the problem that she had never wanted to face.
There seemed to be a voice whispering in her ear in the darkness: Why was it you who was sacrificed? You should have had better memories. Do you still remember everything that happened after the Battle of the Saints? No, you can't remember, because
You never have a memory after that.
You were born in war and died in war. How can you understand the happiness of mortals if you have never experienced peaceful days in your life?
But the little silver elf princess just buried these negative emotions in her heart silently, then raised her head and faced her future with a smile. She looked at Brando, her eyes sparkling, with both yearning and admiration. It seemed that
From this lord, you can find her own ordinaryness.
Brando seemed to finally notice the gaze of the little elf princess, and he was slightly startled.
Then I saw the book in Medisa's hand. It was a Cruz, Folklore and Geography of the Quiet Bay area. Since reintegrating into human society, Medisa has always shown interest in today's human society, but Brando knew
She is actually learning how to blend in with other people.
She always prioritizes considering other people's perspectives.
"Is there anything you can't understand?" Brando asked softly. A thousand years ago and even now, the silver elves' way of thinking was very different from humans. Sometimes Medissa couldn't understand some human vocabulary and couldn't understand it.
Don't ask him for advice.
"Um"
Medissa suddenly felt that her lord was a little cute, and she hummed softly with a nasal voice. "I don't quite understand why the people in Quiet Bay would send lilies to their sweethearts on the day of the Midsummer Festival. That's right.
What’s the symbolic meaning?”
Brando was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect this to be the question. Although Medisa was a princess and an important general of the Silver Elf, she still had a girlish side. He thought for a moment and replied: "Because in the legend of the mountain people
In Chinese, midsummer represents the passion and unrestrainedness, just like the blooming love. Since the dark ages, people have believed that the midsummer festival is a festival of the trade wind. Sailors believe that the trade wind represents the transmission of longing. I think it may have a certain connection with it.
.”
"The elves are different from this." Medisha replied in a low voice. "The elves think this is a kind of mutual waiting, which cannot be penetrated no matter how long the time goes on. It is like a distant song in the dark forest, lingering slowly in the dark forest.
In people’s hearts.”
"That's because human life is so short that it is impossible to understand the meaning of the word time. For mortals, using a short time to burst out with blazing brilliance, even if it is a fleeting shine, is enough to attract respect.
The elves understand the meaning of waiting because of their long lives, but mortals are also clumsily going back and forth in the cycle of history. Time runs in two ways. It seems that summer insects cannot talk about ice, but how can they understand the beauty of the short-term after a long time?
"
"Yeah?"
Medissa closed the book and tilted her head: "Lord, can I rely on you for a moment?"
Brando hesitated for a moment. He saw Medisha's somewhat quiet look, and finally nodded. The tone of the little silver elf princess was like a feather, so soft that no one could refuse.
What's more, she never asks for much and leaves people with the best possible impression.
Then he felt a soft body touching him. Medisa smiled knowingly, as if she remembered the time when she was next to her mother.
"At that time, my mother would tell me stories about heroes. My biggest wish was to become like them."
"Um?"
"But now I just want to be an ordinary person. Thank you, Lord Lord."
Medissa said in an inaudible voice.
