Chapter 349: Walking with the Nameless Bard (2)
"Perhaps, you should have woken up from your dream. I mean, how can you end up here like a puddle of mud. ”
Following the poet's voice, Glori took a step forward in his dream. Without deliberately trying to settle down, Glori arrived between His Highness Ruth and Miss Rose.
Immediately after, Glori was engulfed in a curtain of light. Puzzled, Glori looked around. As a result, there was nothing but a white expanse.
Turning back suddenly, Glori's eyes opened because of the forest air after the rain. Far from the dream, the first thing Glorry saw was the poet. Leaning against the tree behind him, Grabbing the poet's hand, Glori stood up.
"So, what just happened?" the poet asked.
"Maybe it's time to find a safe place to stay. If it's too late, we'll get into trouble walking in the woods. ”
Glori looked at the poet, and felt that he had fallen asleep because he was too tired. Take a deep breath, which means that you are safe. In order to confirm that he had just dreamed, Glori also deliberately looked at his own outfit.
Whether it's armor or cloak, it's still the same as it was. Flapping his armor and arranging his cloak, Glori glanced at the poet.
"Thank you......"
Unfortunately, before Glori could speak, he subconsciously tilted his head to the right. And the poet in front of him sent the blade of a dagger to Glori.
Glori was a fierce reaction. In an instant, a series of movements flashed through Glori's mind: his left hand reached out to the poet and pushed the poet's right hand to the left, while his right hand grabbed the poet's left hand and tugged at his fingers. If necessary, send a kick outside to the inside of the poet's left calf so that the poet falls directly to the left.
Thankfully, Glori hesitated. Otherwise, he would have turned the poet in front of him into a mud man. Glancing to the left, Glori saw a snake.
The snake, unlike what you usually see, was not a simple poisonous snake: in addition to the silver ring skin, there was also a black mist surrounding it, especially when spitting out letters, accompanied by a trace of black mist. At this time, the snake, which was less than a meter long, was being nailed to a tree with a dagger.
Glori smiled and left the tree, reaching for the dagger.
"So, I owe you a favor. ”
Pulling out the dagger and returning it to the poet, Glori glanced at the serpent wrapped around the tree. Under the influence of divine power, the viper has turned into a dark fire, dissipating in the pouring rain.
"Do you know what that snake is?" asked the poet, looking knowledgeable, to Glorry.
"I've only heard of it...... After Kyle took the Knights' City, there were people there to make offerings to these kinds of things. Some people call this kind of thing entangled in black mist 'picking up light'. "Glori was very humble, not in a hurry.
"yes, so, I kind of regret it. Like, I shouldn't be walking with the blue stars. Because, there are enough people who want your life. And I, on the other hand, am just an innocent passerby. The poet lamented.
Putting away the dagger, the poet slapped Glory on the shoulder and pointed to the east.
Where the poet is pointing, Glori knows. If he continued east, Glori would pass by his hometown. But what does the poet mean by that direction? Glori looked at the poet, intending to wait for the poet to explain.
"I mean, we'd better go around the east side. I've been there before, and some of the 'pick-ups' are there. In the past few days, these 'gleaning' have built nests there. My opinion is, go northeast. If you're lucky, you'll run into a knightly puppet of the Church of Light. ”
However, Glori shook his head. "I think we have to go southeast. It's better to be bitten by a poisonous snake than to be chased by a knight puppet. They are too good at using weapons and magic to bless them. If it's the two of us, maybe we'll lose. Moreover, to fight with those puppets is to fight with the masters behind them. So ......"
"Therefore, it is better to fight with people than to be bitten by poisonous snakes. "Fun read
The poet understood what Glori meant. However, he did not intend to go to the southeast. Meeting and walking with Glori is not a fateful arrangement, but what the poet wants to do. How can we take a detour before the matter is over? Pondering and looking at Glori, the poet pointed to the northeast.
"But where I'm going, I'm going to be there. I mean, can you give me a ride? And you're the Blue Star, a man who loves to help civilians. ”
A helpful guy certainly can't leave a lonely person behind. In Noah's Jungle, people walk in groups. Even, hunters will be careful. Glori remembers the story of Mr. Carlos and the hunters: if you are alone in Noah's jungle when it gets dark, the best way to avoid danger is to spend the night in the trees.
Some might say, let's make a fire. Indeed, there are hunters who have done this. However, in Noah's Jungle, torches really don't really do much to drive away the animals in the forest. Light a fire, no doubt to tell the barbarians who hide in the woods that they can hunt at night.
Also, the spirits don't worry about the fire protecting the hunters as much as the animals do. If there is a barbarian to guide them, the spirits will carry out a strategic attack - first extinguishing the fire with magic, and then besieging it with a division of labor.
Coming back to his senses, Glori said, "Go northeast." At night, we have to be alert. ”
Can't be too far away from the poet, so Glori has to stand side by side with the poet, one left and one right, taking care of each other. Walking through the damp and soft humus of Noah's jungle, Glori did not understand what the poet's true purpose was. The reason why Glori doubts what the poet said is simply because as a bard knows how to avoid danger, whether in the prairie or in the forest, the bard should choose the right path at the right time. Even, for minstrels, the best thing to do is to travel with a convoy of traveling merchants.
Unable to know the other party's purpose, and there was no conflict of interest with the other party, Glori stopped thinking about it. However, if there is a trap, Glori will definitely face it with a calm posture. It's like dodging the poet's dagger, as if Glori has prepared a response to danger after danger.
Unfortunately, Glori can't predict everything, so he can only improvise and that's it. In order to avoid the dangers in the jungle, Glori didn't think much about it.
Over the next few days, overcoming many obstacles and following the stream to the east of Mt. Edge, Glori killed two wolf spirits and scared off four small ghosts. Upon reaching the top of Edge Mountain, Glori also knocked out a barbarian.
What worries Glori the most is that he encounters a sword spirit. And not far from the sword spirit, there are still a few dry bones. Looking at the scattered skeletons, Glori found the hole under the grass and vines.
Thinking about it carefully, Glori also understood what he had seen when he evacuated from the lecture hall in the City of Miracles to the tunnel. At that time, one of the two tunnels disappeared. And the villain who used the hidden tunnel as a bargaining chip was not discovered when Glori evacuated.
After taking a closer look at the entrance of the cave in front of him, Glori had a rough guess: it should be that the villain who was hiding in the tunnel arrived here from the hidden tunnel, and was killed by the passing sword spirit.
"This must be providential, which is the so-called 'not to report, but not to be repaid, but not yet to be heard'. ”
Glori looked at the entrance of the cave and couldn't help but think of some memories of the tunnel in front of him. At that time, in the City of Miracles, in order to carry out the mission given by Lord Basda, Glori, Dylan, and Susan had entered and exited the tunnel in front of him.
"At that time, I will still be able to participate in the battle to defend the city of miracles. Later, I was seriously injured on a mission to find the Silver Sword Wolf. So, we can't use the tunnels here because they're under the influence of magic. ”
"Shall we, then, have to compete with the puppets hiding in the forest?"
Retracting his gaze from the poet's darkened face, Glori was uncomfortable. If you have to take care of a guy who is not good at fighting, how much time does it take to find miracles?
Leave the poet behind, and let the poet walk alone out of the jungle! Taking two steps forward and peeling away the grass vines in front of him, Glori could see the appearance of the sword spirit clearly. The so-called sword spirit is a humanoid monster with arms like a sword, and its face is as black as an abyss.
In the magic class, Glori heard Mr. Mayne talk about the Sword Spirit. If you apply light magic to the face of the Sword Spirit, you can create an illusion space that gradually expands. With the illusion space, Glori and the poet can rest peacefully for a while on the Edge Mountain. At the very least, the guy who breaks into the illusion will fall into the illusion.
If it were a wolf, then the wolf would have to be attracted to the hare, which had to appear inexplicably, but could not spot Glori and the poet. Because Glori and the poet will somehow hide in the illusionary space, either in the form of a tree or in the form of a rock.
Glori had a good plan. Cautious and cautious, Glori thought everything would go according to plan. As a result, the night's peace was over, disturbed by a one-eyed demon.
According to common sense, the Glories and the poet that the One-Eyed saw were supposed to be just a tree or a pile of rocks. So, Glori couldn't figure out how the one-eyed man with the stone axe in his hand could discern visions.
While battling the One-Eyed Demon, Glori has not forgotten to find out why the magic of the illusion has been revealed. Without any help, there is no way for a normal one-eyed demon to break the illusion magic, and the only thing a one-eyed demon can do is to find his prey and chase after it, at most using magic that increases the power of the stone axe - such as making the stone axe whirl after being thrown, blessing the stone axe magic, etc.
