Todd and Zhou Qingfeng were very happy to meet again. In the dangerous Black Forest, betrayal and deceit are the mainstream, and having a reliable companion is more valuable than gold.
The barbarian who survived the disaster was not good at words and could only express his gratitude with a silly smile. He rummaged through the body of the goblin warlock and took off a small ring and a cloth bag.
"This is a mist ring, which can be used to block sight. Although it is not a particularly powerful magic item, it should be quite practical for a thief like you.
The contents of this bag belong to you too. I guess there are some scrolls and gold coins that I won't want." Todd was quite generous and had no intention of dividing the spoils equally.
In fact, this battle was completed by the two of them. If Todd hadn't fought to the end, Zhou Qingfeng would have never had a chance to take action.
Uncle Zhou was not pretentious. He took the ring and the bag, weighed them, and said with a smile, "I'll treat you to a drink when you get back. Drink as much as you want."
The barbarian took Zhou Qingfeng away from the battlefield. At the same time, he took out the wound medicine he carried and bandaged the wound on his lower back. He also shook his head and said with a bitter smile: "We are really in trouble this time. I'm afraid it won't be that easy to drink.
When I set out from White Crow Village in the morning, Lucans reminded me that there might be other betrayers in the village. I actually suspected you, so I didn't let you follow me, but I didn't expect that it was McCann who really attacked me.
This is definitely a premeditated action, and it took more than a day or two to plan. I'm afraid we can't even go back to Baiya Village now, and we don't know where to run if we want to escape?"
What Todd said was frustrating was true.
The Icefield Mountains are vast, and the Black Forest is vast. Less than one-tenth of the area has been explored by humans. There are a large number of powerful monsters in the unknown areas, and there are even legendary entrances to the abyss and hell.
For unknown areas, rashly entering is the same as seeking death. It is not surprising for a few evil eyes and illithid monsters to pop up at random. The only safer road is the goblin plank road.
"Originally, as long as they paid tolls, the goblins of the Magru tribe did not prevent humans from moving in the Black Forest. But now that the Church of Benn has intervened, we are in trouble." Todd said.
The barbarians seemed helpless, and Cyric also interjected, "I'm afraid that the Church of Benn not only wants to perform blood sacrifices, but they also value the output of the Black Forest.
Not long after Bane was resurrected, his church was extremely poor. Seizing the territory of other gods would definitely lead to fierce battles. Bane's believers must not have the strength. Although the Black Forest is a bit bitter and cold, it is still a piece of fat and worth it.
Forced intervention."
All the talk, I say I am fighting for God, but in reality it is still a matter of money.
There is no benefit, even followers of the evil god will not go to the dangerous black forest.
"If you have any ideas, please tell me quickly, don't waste time." Zhou Qingfeng discovered that since Sirik became a good teacher, he has become interested in telling others - half of the words, he deliberately waited for him to ask for advice.
Hahaha..., Cyric liked to listen to Zhou Qingfeng's angry voice. It deliberately delayed for a long time before saying: "When I was still a mortal, I also went to the Black Forest for adventure. In addition to the Goblin Plank Road, there are also
There is a path to escape."
"The reason why a small road is a small road must not be as easy to walk as a big road, right?"
"That's for sure. This path needs to pass through the current lair of the Magru tribe. That group of goblins built their home on the ruins of an ancient city.
Decades ago, when the sun was still shining on the earth, there was an elven city in the Black Forest. Later, the demon climbed out of the abyss, built the Iron Curtain, and ran rampant in the North. The elves in the city had to flee, and the city was naturally abandoned.
When the elves escaped, they hoped to come back one day, so they sunk the city underground to form a closed underground city. As long as we find the entrance to the underground city, we can pass through the siege of the goblins and escape from the black forest. This road is more dangerous.
, but it will be no problem if I lead the way."
Cyric seemed to be sure of his life, but this method of escape didn't sound very reliable. It always felt like he was throwing himself into a trap and dying.
Zhou Qingfeng didn't know about the ruins of cities in the Black Forest. He asked Todd, "Have you heard of other ways to leave the Black Forest? For example, you can leave the abandoned elf city from underground."
As soon as he said this, Todd was shocked, "Victor, what do you know?"
It seems as if some great secret is about to be revealed.
Cyric hummed twice, with a vindictive kuài gǎn, and laughed happily: "Silver Leaf City in the Black Forest has always been one of the favorite ruins for adventurers. Everyone said that the elves evacuated too much.
In a hurry, many treasures were left behind in the ruins.
It's a pity that there are very few people who can really know the secrets. Because of this, the adventurers who hang out in the black forest all have a dream of searching for the elven ruins, hoping to make a fortune in one fell swoop.
Most people think that the mysterious city is hidden deep in the black forest, like a treasure covered by dust, waiting for outsiders to discover it in the bitter cold wind.
But few people know that the beautiful city that was once as fresh as morning dew is not on the ground at all, and its original location has turned into a dirty, ugly, and extremely disgusting goblin lair."
Zhou Qingfeng knew that he had been tricked by Xiao Xiao. He, a rookie who knew nothing, could actually say the words "Elf City". This was very abnormal, and it was even harder to explain to Todd.
"I learned about it from a book." Zhou Qingfeng could only talk nonsense.
"What book?" Todd asked, "Is it a parchment book inlaid with silver and painted with special patterns? It is said that people who read books will be smarter."
"Uh..., it seems..., I didn't pay attention. That book may have some lace or something." What could Zhou Qingfeng say, he could only continue to make it up.
Ah ha..., Todd cheered, hugged Zhou Qingfeng's shoulders and said happily: "Victor, I knew you were no ordinary thief. You appeared so strange, and your behavior was so strange."
Unreasonable.
Now I can finally confirm your identity. Are you from some mysterious force and used time and space to jump to the Black Forest? You appeared with an unusual purpose, just to explore the elven ruins hidden in the Black Forest, right?"
Todd kept patting Zhou Qingfeng's shoulders with a proud look on his face. He was very happy to see through Zhou Qingfeng's 'origin' with his own guess. At the end, he added: "Don't worry, Victor. I will never take it for granted."
Tell others your secret.
When I first saw you, I felt that you didn't look like a man living in the cold wind, but like a girl who stayed in a castle and was waited on every day. I used to look down on girls like you, but now I want to
Say you are indeed brave enough.
You must have read a lot of books, right? You must be very knowledgeable and smarter than those bards in the tavern. Alas... A rough guy like me can only chop people with an ax, even their names.
I can’t even write.”
The barbarian was so strong that Zhou Qingfeng almost vomited blood when he slapped him.
Todd continued: "You want to break into the Elf Ruins? No problem, I will accompany you. You have saved me twice, I believe you will not cheat me. However, it is said that the Elf Ruins are also extremely dangerous, and we can break through them with just the two of us.
Has it passed?"
Places like underground cities don't sound like tourist attractions, and there must be a lot of dangers hidden there. The barbarian, who has always been fearless of the sky and the earth, was rarely confident for a moment. He scratched his head in distress and looked at Zhou Qingfeng.
"It's definitely not possible to rely on the two of us." Uncle Zhou sighed longly at first, but soon his face turned ruthless, and he gritted his teeth and cursed: "I have no other way to go. Since you want to play, let's play.
A big one. I must turn this black forest upside down!"
