Chapter 237: Taking a Risk
Leo followed Wei all the way to a dilapidated house. The house in Maple Grove was completely uninhabitable in Leo's opinion, and it didn't even have a roof, let alone a fireplace and a cozy room. The broken tiles and porcelain discarded in the corner made Leo almost collapse, and he didn't even have a drink of water.
"Oh, that's great. It's a perfect place to hide," Leo looked for a plank to sit on in disappointment, "You're hiding here? ”
"Yes, that's it. Unfortunately, tasting game should not be at a time like this. Because Silver used the legions to make trouble, a battle was about to break out. Wei said.
"You seem to know everything. But can you guess the contents of Evan's letter?" Leo wiped the dust off his hands and pulled out Evan's handwritten letter.
"Is this Evan's? a rare occurrence, but I'll take a closer look at it and give it to me. Wei said. He stood his shield against the wall and leaned on it.
What is written in the letter is not a greeting, let alone a discussion. Evan is as tough as Moon the demon under the moon, and bluntly tells Will to do what the letter says.
A Shennuo bird flew through the sky, and the sound of "chirping" made Wei look up.
"A Kanno bird, I still can't figure out why it's called a Kanono bird. Is it just because this little creature was born in the Forest of Dreams?" asked Leo.
"It's a bird in the Forest of Dreams, but it prefers places like the Glaive Cliffs. They like to build their nests on it, as it is the closest to the Forest of Dreams and is the highest in the area. In fact, they are fiercer than the eagles of the grassland, and they will not let go of any prey that can enter. Wei said flatly.
"It seems that although this bird is far from the size of an eagle, it is like a symbol of the Shennuo clan, as wise and brave as you. So, Evan is really fat, right? I'm sorry...... I'd seen it privately before, but Evan gave me permission to do so. Leo smiled.
"Evan was bold enough, but the idea in the letter was a risky move. Isn't there a better way for us?" Wei angrily stood up and punched the Seven Star Shield. He'd been hiding here for a long time, trying every means to contact Mage Lil's team, but to no avail.
In fact, Mage Lil's team is far away in Noah's Jungle, and it is sparsely outnumbered. If he ventured to fight Silver, he would have served Silver a pre-war dessert, but seeking the help of Mage Lil was a lifesaver for Will, who had been alone before, and he even planned everything carefully, such as how to use a handful of people to take down the throat of the Dream Forest, the Red Valley.
The aftermath of the punch that hit the wall was still there. In order to prevent nearby patrols from detecting, Leo had to use a magical barrier to counteract the power of Wei - the entire wall was protected by Leo's magic. Still, Wei made the entire abandoned house shake. The frightened little things just sprang out of the corner, stepped over the broken bones of some people, and then went straight to the maple forest next to them.
These dry bones are not a surprising existence in the evening. They couldn't scare Vicio and Leo, and even got Leo's blessing in exchange. Sending blessings to the fallen along the road is not only a habit for Elris, but Leo does it too.
"You scared the hell out of our dinner. There's nothing more disappointing than that, Dylan must have said. Leo mimicked Dylan's tone and sat down helplessly.
"You look so relaxed, not in a hurry at all. Are you really friends with Evan since childhood?" Wei couldn't think of a good idea, so he had to tease first, so as to make his brain think normally.
"The situation is urgent, and Mochizuki City is in danger. How could I not be worried? And I'm not just worried about this one, the Emerald City to the north is eyeing up, they have been waiting for an opportunity to cross the river of moonlight, and the power of the moon god is the only existence that can stop them. My mentor and Miss Erin are both struggling to support the power of the moon god. The clock is counting down......" Leo looked at the dry bones in the corner, and couldn't help but feel sad. He could not show the glory of the Otersdorks with disdain, for he was really tired, and those glories were long gone, and now, perhaps, even the opportunity to strive for them would be lost.
The dark clouds were thick, and the evening night sky darkened at a rapid pace, as if someone had covered the sky with one hand.
When the rain hit Wei's face, Wei took the letter in his hand, and when Wei opened his palm, the letter had already dissipated with the green magic light.
"Evan hadn't forgotten anything else, did he? The letter just said a little bit, and it wasn't a complete plan. Wei Ning frowned. He couldn't guess about Evan's remaining plans, as the situation facing Mochizuki City was complicated. He only knew that Silver would do whatever it took to capture the Moon Plains, but he was not completely sure about predicting the movements of the City of Miracles and the Emerald City, and he could not know if the Moon Clan would follow Kyle's orders to attack Moon City from the Sea of Moonlight.
"Tick ...... Tick ......", the sound of the rain began to torment Willy and Leo. Time passed with the sound of raindrops, and those who looked like demons appeared in the night, they were the messengers of the Demon Dragon Empire. Even, Wil Leo could guess where they were going—the demons going to the City of Miracles or to the Emerald City.
"Do you have a plan?" asked Leo. He couldn't hold his breath anymore. This trip, as important as it was, had deprived a character like him of more important things to do in the passage of time: helping Miss Erin gather the cultists of the Night Church was one of them, setting traps on the banks of the river to ward off enemies, or helping Evan fill the magic of the Mochizuki Sword.
"I was prepared, but only if I rescued some important companions. They fell into the hands of the fisherman who profited. Wei took up his shield.
"You mean from Silver?" Leo was a little pleased. Speaking of Silver, he wanted to punch Silver like Dylan, and even wanted to punch him directly.
Until now, the Shenno bird has not returned to its nest and is still spinning in the sky. It was raining, and the timid prey was hiding, and it was about to swoop down when the thunder and lightning flickered.
Finally, the hare that escaped from the house came into view of the blue-coated bird of prey. The stalker, who had been struck by the magic, fell from the open roof beam, spitting blood. However, Leo still couldn't think of the reason for Wei's angry blow just now, at least not because of the "gentleman" on the beam.
At this moment, a thunderbolt roared through the air, and lightning struck a hapless maple tree. Leo and Wei break into the night. The cold rain made them more and more sober.
......
"Are you sure you can find Gabriel and Andrew?" asked Leo. He stared at the patrol who had just been chasing, and sealed the patrolman's mouth with a blue curtain of light like smeared paper.
Wei pressed the patrol soldier at his feet and twisted his hand. Hearing the clattering of the soldier's neck, he smiled and said to Leo, "Sure! ”
The rain grew heavier and heavier, drenching Leo and Will's mantle. They had almost forgotten one thing, the horrors of the night had come to this place.
When the spider is hit by a ray of moonlight, it becomes huge. And the woods came alive and became monsters that devoured the living. At the same time, some bugs emerge from the ground and become more and more meandering. And those dry bones that fell in the forest, stood up in the phosphorescence, and what they pinched with their hands was a cold weapon that was enough to kill people.
Suddenly, a patrolman was caught in a tree branch, hung in the air, and bitten off his head by a large-headed skeleton. This scene frightened the soldiers behind.
"Wait! Stop, stop chasing! It's time! We need to stay away from those horrible things. Otherwise, those monsters will kill us!" said him, and the patrolmen behind him fled in terror towards Maple Grove.
"Oh my God, we're already in the woods!" said another patrolman, who was rolling and crawling to hold the soldier who had just shouted, and as a result, they fell together under the bottomless hollow of the tree.
Wei's face was grim, and he pulled out the seven-star sword. As soon as he made a move, he opened a path sheltered by thorns. Leo followed closely behind Way. Unexpectedly, the hideous maple trees flapped their branches and pulled Leo's mantle.
"Leo! bow your head!" Wei turned around and threw out the seven-star shield.
The shield flew all the way over Leo's head, then skimmed off the smashed branches. Leo then crossed the hole under his feet and rolled again, only to see a centipede standing erect taller than a man.
Wei slays a giant spider and pulls up Leo, who is turning over. Wei didn't stop, but he breathed smoothly: "Evan's plan is as dangerous as what we are doing now. He must have known how difficult it was to carry out the plan in the letter. However, as we shuttled through this horror park, I didn't want to question Evan any longer. Don't forget, the knight who carried out the plan to besiege Idol Castle will definitely try to avoid the orders of the Order King and give Mochizuki Castle a chance to breathe. Now, it's our turn to gamble! Perhaps, the God of Light will grant us luck, for I am also in your plan to become King of Gudian! The God of Light will surely favor us. ”
"How can you expect the Divine Knight to help us, and Mayne will help us, but he deceived us into besieging Idol City. Leo admonished.
"However, the Divine Knight did this to get closer to Kyle. There are some things that he has really gone too far. You don't have to worry about this, I trust that the God of Light will give the right punishment and reward. Wei said firmly.
"Oh, you have faith in the God of Light. But who is in the hands of fate? are you, me, or are you going to be Silver? We have to think that I will have my destiny in our own hands, just like Glori, who has been working on it. Leo was sweating. The green slime splashed on the monster's body made him feel uncomfortable. And the mucus smelled like tree sap, making his breathing heavier and heavier.
"You're trying to save Gabriel and Andrew, it's far enough, and it's just the two of us. So, how do we make our way through this wood, which is so dim that we can't find our way?" Leo slowed down slightly, feeling tired. No, the dizziness followed the swirling maple forest in his eyes.
