To the north of the Falling Star Mountains, on the winding mountain road, dozens of black-armored knights escorted a group of carriages heading north.
Barbara poked her head out of the car window. Her bright red dress, delicate facial features, and two pointed ears made her look particularly eye-catching against the backdrop of the white snow.
"Why don't we take a boat? Wouldn't that be faster?"
Randall, who was sitting in the coachman's seat, turned around and said with a smile: "The people in the port are messy and will cause unnecessary trouble."
Barbara snorted and sat back in the carriage.
In the carriage behind Barbara, Wayne Dunlop looked at the black-armored knight sitting opposite and swallowed: "Lord Alfonso..."
Alfonso, who had his arms folded in front of his chest, glanced at Wayne: "Save your words. If you have anything to say, I'll leave it until I see His Majesty."
Wayne whispered: "I don't mind being a prisoner, nor do I mind dying in prison. As long as Your Majesty allows me to continue the experiment, I don't mind anything else..."
Hearing Wayne's words, Alfonso stared at him and asked: "You should have known about the news that His Majesty is going to take you to the north. Why didn't you escape?"
Wayne used his slender fingers to straighten his messy hair: "Your Majesty knows me too well, and he knows that I will not run away. Because only your Majesty can answer the questions that keep me awake all night; help me further discover the mysteries of biology.
Only His Majesty can make this machine. My lifelong pursuit and dream can only be realized with his inspiration and guidance..."
Seeing Alfonso's noncommittal expression, Wayne smiled bitterly and said: "For me, what I fear more than having His Majesty imprison him is that he will exile me to a distant place forever and never allow me to come back. That way
My life will be more miserable and hopeless."
Alfonso closed his eyes: "Remember what you are saying now. When you see His Majesty, you will find that lies are as fragile in front of him as white snow under the scorching sun."
Aldenan was lying on the roof of the carriage, basking in the sun comfortably while looking askance at the vigilant knights around him.
"Carol, look at the eyes of these people. It's a miracle that we don't have shackles on our hands and feet! Aren't they worried that we will escape?"
The orc, who was sitting alone in the carriage, heard the voice of his companion and said in a muffled voice: "You can try it."
Aldenan shook his head and smiled: "I bet these knights are also thinking about what you are saying... But I'd better stay calm. I have seen the speed of those horses, and I have also seen those black tentacles.
The power of..."
Carroll, who was sitting in the carriage, put his hands under his eyes and said calmly: "Look at what we look like, is there any place willing to accept us? Instead of living like savages in the wilderness or like mice in the street
Even if we are hiding, I would rather go to a place that can accept us."
Aldenan let out a long-pitched nasal sound, grabbed the edge of the carriage with both hands, hung his head upside down and put his head into the carriage. He looked at Carol and smiled and said: "Your language skills have improved greatly because of those love poems.
Textbook?"
"roll!"
After crossing the Luoxing Mountains, the convoy drove north for three days and three nights.
In the early morning of the fourth day, after clearing away the traces of the camp, the team embarked on the road north again.
As the journey progressed, the forest gradually became so dense that the sunlight above our heads could no longer be seen, and from time to time the clear roar of beasts could be heard in the wind.
Suddenly, Aldnan climbed over to the top of the carriage, stood up, pricked up his ears, and sniffed hard.
Carol opened the car door and saw the werewolf looking like he was facing an enemy. He asked, "What's wrong?"
"There is some smell in the air, some smell of beasts." Aldenan said in confusion: "Lion? Leopard? No... I have never smelled this kind of smell before."
Before he finished speaking, the horses pulling the carriage became restless, pawing at the soil with their hooves and shaking their heads uneasily.
Barbara, who was wearing a light red hunting suit, walked to the passenger seat of the carriage, stood next to Randall, and asked in a low voice: "What's going on?"
"This road is my original route south. When I set off, everything was normal and nothing happened." Randall took out his sword and said quietly: "But after so many months, no one can guarantee
Will there be anything more on this road?"
Hearing this, Barbara nodded, and the light blue tattoo on her body slowly became brighter. Her hands were palms upward, her arms were slightly raised, and two blazing fireballs were rolling rapidly in her palms.
Just when a group of people were nervous, a huge figure jumped out of the forest and appeared in front of everyone.
Seeing the original appearance of the figure, Barbara's eyes widened, and her jaw opened unconsciously due to extreme surprise: "Could this guy be... a wolf?! But what's going on with his size?! He's too big!"
A giant wolf with a body length of more than eight meters stood in front of the motorcade, staring warily at the uninvited guest in front of it.
Its sharp claws are like long knives with a cold glow, which can easily cut down a tree as thick as the mouth of a basin; in its red mouth, there are sharp teeth as big as a pointed hammer, which can easily bite into pieces.
Hard rock.
Looking at the giant beast in front of him, Aldenan took a breath and whispered to Carol: "According to the rumors of the sailors in Muxi City, this guy should be the legendary war beast in the northern land! A
! Just one! Can wipe out all the troops under a small lord!"
Carroll jumped to the ground, moved his neck and arms, and while picking up a broken tree trunk from the ground, he teased Aldenan behind him: "You two are both wolves, can't you communicate?"
The latter growled angrily: "You idiot! Don't compare me with such a low-level animal!"
At this moment, Alfonso, who was dressed in black armor, opened the car door, carrying a big sword on his back, and walked step by step towards the giant wolf in front of him.
"Lord Alfonso, be careful!" Randall warned as he tried to jump off the carriage.
When Alfonso walked less than twenty meters away from the giant wolf, the back of the dragon-bone parasite suddenly made a rapid concussion sound.
After a while, a long horn sounded from the distant mountain forest.
Half a minute later, a heavily armed and tattooed barbarian patrol quickly appeared in front of Alfonso.
There are twelve people in this patrol, including men and women, with different weapons, but they are well-trained and disciplined.
The leader of the team was a strong barbarian with a knotted beard hanging on his chest. After he saw Alfonso for the first time, he shouted and rushed towards the black-armored knight.
Just when Randall drew his weapon and wanted to step forward to help, and Carol, Aldenan and others were in shock, the barbarian suddenly knelt on one knee in front of Alfonso and spoke a long series of words loudly and quickly.
.
Alfonso, who frowned, nodded while listening. After listening to the other party's speech, he took the barbarian's shoulders with both hands and pulled him up from the ground.
The excited patrol leader looked at Alfonso and the black-armored knights behind him, laughed happily, and hurriedly turned around and left.
Alfonso turned around, walked back into the convoy, and said to the people around him: "Follow the soldiers of the Deep Sand Chapter, they will take us to Froststone City."
The stunned Aldenan looked at the group of strong warriors leading the ferocious war beast into the forest, and said in disbelief: "Someone can actually tame the war beast!"
Different from the werewolf's shock, Carol looked enviously at the giant wolf following the barbarians, as docile as a big dog, and murmured: "If I can get such a giant wolf...
