Chapter Seventy-Nine: The Great Forest

The Muse just glanced at it casually, and in the comparison of the two maps, he found that the parchment in Lydia's hand recorded a map of the Newton family's fiefdom, a piece of land on the edge of the jurisdiction of Deira!

And from this parchment, you can see that the Newton family's territory is adjacent to a large forest that stretches north along the coastline in a strip! Judging from the not-so-believable notation on the map, this large forest even extends all the way to the western coast of the Noranda continent!

In there, there are countless monsters, at least in the development of the Newton family, there are bear goblins, demon wolves, pythons, ogres, etc., and according to rumors, the depths of the great forest even inhabit real dragons!

The danger in the big forest is not only these various monsters, but also the harsh environment, all kinds of mutated insects, and strangely shaped mutated plants......

But in this dangerous forest, of course, there are also all kinds of extremely precious specialties! The various monsters in the great forest not only devour countless lives, but also provide those who successfully kill them with materials with all kinds of energy, not to mention the various plants with strange effects that grow in it, and even the solid trees that have grown for thousands of years in the great forest are also of great value!

But this great forest is too weird, it has swallowed countless lives. When people enter it, even the environment has become their enemy, full of malice, and danger is everywhere.

At the same time, what's even more weird is that the monsters that inhabit this big forest will not have a fixed sphere of influence like other places, they are more like random distribution, and even some unlucky people who only operate on the periphery of the forest will encounter some high-level monsters that are wandering around, and then they will be wiped out directly!

And the Newton family's development is only a little closer to the periphery of this large forest, and the deepest part of the range of activities is the silver mine where the ogre is entrenched!

But even so, the high-quality timber from the Great Forest is a source of income for the Newton family alongside the port!

The Muse is still clear about the history of the Newton family's ancestors who were not satisfied with the fiefdom and then ran to open up this big forest.

And then he stared at a striking red circle marked in the great forest, and his expression seemed to be thoughtful: "Could it be that the ancestor who founded the Newton family discovered something remarkable when he pioneered this great forest?

"Huh?" Lydia, who was intently comparing the old and new maps, and then drawing circles on the new map that had changed a lot, finally sensed that the muse had arrived.

Looking at the muse in a gray robe and carrying a bulging bag, Lydia frowned and said, "This is what you are prepared for?"

"Uh......" the muse rolled his eyes, "or what do you want me to do?

But of course it was impossible for the Muse to say these words, so he showed a puzzled expression and asked, "Uh...... Mentor, you mean...... Is there anything wrong with my preparation?"

"Oh, by the way......" Lydia seemed to realize something quickly, and with a slight movement of her silver-glowing fingers, she pulled out a new set of mage robes from the space pocket around her waist, "I forgot that you don't have mage robes." ”

"Yes, as a spellcaster, no mage robe is not good, even this standard mage robe without any enchantments is extremely useful. ”

"This standard mage robe is lined with twenty small pockets to hold the various spell-casting materials. There are also ten buckles around the waist, which can be used to place various potions or magic wands. ”

"Go back and change it, and then prepare two horses to wait for me directly at the gate of the manor, and we will ride straight away. ”

Taking the standard mage robe that Lydia had taken out, the Muse silently gave Lydia a mage salute before walking out.

Back in his room, rejecting Mina's assistance, the Muse put on the mage robe on his own, a little rusty, as he buttoned the last button around his waist and looked into the floor-to-ceiling mirror beside him.

In a trance, the muse seemed to see that he had just become an arcane apprentice in his previous life, and he was busy in the arcane academy wearing the same mage robes.

"At the time, I seemed to be like this......" The muse smiled self-deprecatingly, but he quickly put the memories behind him.

Picking up his bulging bags again, the Muse thought about it, and went to inform Atro about his going out with Lydia, and asked him to inform the Antonite scholars that their studies had been temporarily suspended for the past few days.

Afterwards, the muse selected two good horses directly from the stables of the Golden Cornflower Manor, and waited at the gate of the manor after the groom was ready.

A moment later, Lydia's figure was in the muse's field of vision, still dressed tightly in a mage's robe, but with unusual agility.

In the awe-inspiring gaze of the guards on the side, Lydia, who came to the muse, skillfully turned over and got on her horse, and in the silver light of her fingers, a spell flashed, and the magic circle that shrouded the Golden Cornflower Manor revealed a gap, and she directly flicked the horsewhip and drove the horse out.

Seeing Lydia's figure gradually disappearing, the muse could only flick the horsewhip and follow closely.

A day later.

"Oak!" "Oak!"

Amid the shrill shouts one after another, a large group of goblins, wielding sticks, stones, and spears, draped in tattered fur, led by three bear goblins with several times their cousins, roared and rushed towards Lydia and the Muse, who were trudging through the dark forest.

"This is the first wave, these green-skinned dwarfs are just as ubiquitous as weeds, aren't they?"

Lydia, who was obviously annoyed, frowned.

"Oak!" "Oak!" The bear goblin at the front of the rush could already smell the fragrance of the two thin-skinned and tender humans in front of him, which undoubtedly made its salivary glands secrete a large amount of saliva, and it could already imagine the scene of feasting after killing these two seemingly defenseless humans, and then this imagination made its hands holding the big stick swing forward fiercely!

Click!

A fist thicker than the head of this bear goblin emerged from the air, and smashed into the big stick it swung forward with a powerful momentum, and at the same time as the big stick was directly broken, it smashed into the head of the bear goblin with a whistling wind, and directly smashed its head like a bursting watermelon under the huge explosion of huge force!

Behind this huge fist, what slowly emerged was a huge and strong arm, attached to a huge body without a neck!

And on the huge humanoid body, only the two holes in the head shone with a seeping red light!

- Clay Golem!
