377 Fortune tellers
The Ice Bear Abyss nodded imperceptibly, and the female mage's attentiveness satisfied him. "This nameless beast tooth was given to me by the steppe elf just now. ”
Catherine took the beast teeth handed over by the Ice Bear Abyss and looked closely, the beast teeth were as long as a palm, brownish yellow, and hard, and they looked like the teeth of a big guy.
"You'd better find out where this tooth came from. Kamiyama said with satisfaction.
The mage nodded, and walked in the direction where the steppe elves had left, taking the fangs. The road was filled with all kinds of people, and the hustle and bustle made Catherine dizzy. She even saw the gnomes she had only read about in books, a race endemic to the underworld of the Western Continent. It's hard to imagine how many different kinds of people the Ice Bear Abyss has seen in the past years. Catherine confidently traveled north and south, and had seen many characters, but it was impossible to imprint the faces of everyone she saw in her memory so completely.
The steppe elves have met four, but none of them are the ones who made deals with the old barbarians. The spairie elf's cloak was a bit peculiar, embroidered with gold trim on the edge of the cloak. Of course, the female mage didn't want to keep looking aimlessly, and if she met the fifth steppe elf, whether it was or not, Catherine planned to talk to the other party first.
The fifth steppe elf soon appeared. He looked like a guard, with a single-edged knife hanging from his waist, standing in front of a black tent.
Catherine walked up to the steppe elf, and the elf, whose eyes were a little scattered, immediately looked at him intently.
"I'm looking for someone. Catherine said in Old Elven language.
The steppe elf nodded, and stepped sideways, revealing the entrance to the tent.
Catherine hadn't expected such a reaction from the prairie elves, but she didn't mind going into the tent to take a look. If you can't find a clue, don't come out and ask the guard again.
The tent was a little dim, and there was a strange smell in the air. Catherine smelled the scent and was filled with peace in her heart. This is probably the smell of some kind of calming herb after it is burned.
A man shrouded in a cloak sat at a round table with a triangular basin covered with medicinal herbs. Lights of fire flickered in the herbs, and wisps of green smoke wafted out - this is where the smell of the tent comes from.
Catherine could not see the face of the owner of the tent clearly, and out of caution, she did not immediately sit down at the round table. A ball of fire that glowed dimly came to the mage, circled around her, and then landed on a chair at the round table, as if representing the invitation of the host.
The mage finally stepped forward and sat down. A flame rose from the triangular basin, illuminating the entire tabletop.
"Strange soul, I see you coming from the other side of the world. A hoarse voice came from the cloak opposite, "I can see what you're looking for." ”
Catherine was surprised. "Where is that man?"
"No, you're looking for a way out. The owner of the cloak took off his hood and revealed a face, which turned out to be Catherine herself!
"You!" the mage exclaimed, "who are you?"
"I'm a man who can guide you. Another Catherine said, "As long as you're willing to pay, I can tell you where the way out is." ”
"At what cost?"
"The price you can afford. That Catherine put her hood back on, "The face you see represents your inner purpose. ”
Catherine was thoughtful. Does seeing yourself mean that you want to save yourself?
"That's all I have. Catherine placed the unknown tooth on the table.
The owner of the cloak took the beast tooth of chess, flipped it over and fiddled with it for a while, and said, "Nameless beast tooth, I accept it." ”
A strange deck of playing cards appeared in the cloak's owner's hand, and she drew three cards and placed them face up in front of Catherine. "These three cards will tell you where the way out is, choose one and turn it over. ”
Catherine stared at the three cards, each one almost the size of a palm, so exquisitely crafted that she could even feel some kind of mysterious power emanating from the cards. The female mage obeyed the call of her heart and chose the one on the right to open it.
The card depicts a large tree with withered leaves, and a crow standing on its branch barking at the moon in the sky.
"The crows of the night chirp the moon on the dead trees. The cloaked master described the contents of the card, "Pick the second card." ”
Catherine reached out and pressed her hand to the card in the middle, paused, and then moved to the left card to turn it over. On the second card, a headless beast squatted in front of a sarcophagus with a slit in the lid of the sarcophagus opening and a scrawny hand sticking out of the sarcophagus.
"The headless beast guards the coffin of the dead. The cloak's owner's tone was a little solemn, "Turn over the last card." ”
Catherine flipped over the middle card, revealing a beastly face, fangs turned out, tongue of blood curled, and fire burning in both eyes.
"Ghost King!" the cloak owner's voice was extremely low, almost squeezing out of his throat.
"Strange soul, your way out is full of sinister. The cloaked owner sighed, "The Raven Forest at night is definitely not a good place to go. Only by finding a place where you can see the light and defeat an unknown and powerful enemy will you get a clue to the way out – a mysterious place that hides the answers you seek. ”
Catherine emerged from her tent, and she gave up searching for the steppe elves. Now that she has got the clue, although she is not 100% sure that it is the real clue. As for the origin of the beast teeth that the old barbarian asked to inquire about, he had to give up.
The Ice Bear Abyss was a little surprised that Catherine had come back so soon, and when he listened to the female mage's narration, he couldn't help but sigh: "You actually met a soothsayer, and that memory usually doesn't appear easily." Do you have any connection with a soothsayer?"
Catherine shook her head, how could the soothsayer of the Western Continent have a connection with her, let alone a character in the memory of the old barbarian. "It doesn't matter if there's a connection or not, I just want to know if we're finding a clue to an exit. ”
"That's right. The Ice Bear Abyss flashed in front of him, and a map of the Western Continent appeared, and he pointed to the eastern part of the Belcy Empire, "The Crow Forest is here, and it is a famous place. The trees there are so high that they block the light, and walking in the woods is like being at night. Now we're going to find a way to get to the Raven Forest. You come with me. ”
The Kinabalu shaman led Catherine through the bazaar, and soon came to the edge of the bazaar, where there was a stable. The owner of the stables was a middle-aged human, wearing a fur hat and being of short stature only to the waist of an old savage. He slouched on the fence.
