Volume 1 The Curtain of the Night Chapter 46 The Plains of Dessa
Edith smiled when she saw this.
"Yes, my brother. ”
"Then Edith and I will go to the plains of Dessa, and we may be able to come back soon, so I will ask you to stay at the castle for the first time. Xia Zuo said.
"I'll go with you. Jasmine spoke suddenly, apparently still not very reassuring about Edith.
But if Edith really wanted to do something to me, I'm afraid she would have had the opportunity several times before.
Edith should still be trusted.
Xia Zuo thought.
But one more person has more power.
Jasmine's mental power is very strong, which is even more conducive to us finding Leah in the Desa Plains.
Then let's go together.
It always felt like something was wrong...... Wait a minute, when this happens, there will be a man and two women on my side, and I will be sandwiched in the middle, so wouldn't my position be very embarrassing?
"Well, yes. But Xia Zuo finally agreed to Jasmine's request.
Now is not the time to think about such things.
Xia Zuo agreed to Jasmine, then looked at Anos and asked the captain for his opinion, and Anos nodded in agreement.
"Go to the plains of Dessa, it's enough for the four of us here, and even if that griffon recovers from its injuries and strikes again, we'll have enough men to deal with it. Anos said.
"Besides, the griffin was not lightly injured at that time, so it may not have come and attacked so quickly. Fred smirked.
The others nodded.
"Then I'll prepare my things later, and I'll leave at noon. Xia Zuo said.
"Wait, where are you going to get something going?" Fred couldn't help but glance at Xia Zuo, "It might be a bit of a problem to let Sax know about your actions." ”
"It is advisable to go to the block outside the castle and prepare some food and improvised tents and other props. ”
"In case you can't find it for a few days, are you going to sleep in the wilderness these days?" Fred teased Xia Zuo.
"Poof, that's right. Xia Zuo couldn't help but laugh.
"Then I'll go out and buy it now. Xia Zuo is not the kind of person who does things slowly, and after being reminded by Fred, Xia Zuo is ready to go out and buy the items needed to survive in the wild.
"Anyway, I'm half a rich man now, so it shouldn't be a problem to buy this little thing. Xia Zuo thought so, touched the Atlanta gold coin in his pocket, and felt a little relieved, maybe he was really poor before.
In addition, although Xia Zuo is not unable to go directly to the Desa Plain, Xia Zuo used to be a hunter and can survive hunting in the wild, but that would be too troublesome.
It's not that I don't have money right now.
Is there still money to waste their physical strength and energy to hunt in the wild to survive?
Xia Zuo said goodbye to everyone and planned to go out to buy the items needed in the field.
Jasmine doesn't seem to like going out during the day, and she doesn't seem to like crowded places either, although I don't know why...... In short, Jasmine didn't go out with Natsuzo.
Edith, the girl who claims to be Natsuzo's "sister", naturally doesn't care, as long as she can be with her brother.
So Xia Zuo took Edith out like this.
After some time, outside the castle, in the neighborhood of Anli District, Xia Zuo and Edith walked together, Xia Zuo looked at the dazzling array of goods in the roadside shops, and couldn't help but sigh with emotion for a while.
"I didn't think that I would have the day when I, a former street child, would be able to walk on the bustling streets like this and have the money to buy the goods I wanted. ”
"Did my brother have a hard time before?" Edith couldn't help but widen her eyes, "with your strength, brother...... It shouldn't have been this bad. ”
"What power. Xia Zuo couldn't help but shake his head.
"I didn't know until recently that I had the extraordinary power of a Soul Spawn. ”
"I didn't know that I was a soul descendant before, and I spent many years in ignorance. Xia Zuo sighed, and suddenly remembered someone.
The hunter uncle who once adopted Xia Zuo.
"If I hadn't happened to be taken in by my uncle at that time, I would have become food for the beasts on the roadside by now. Xia Zuo said.
"Brother. Edith suddenly said seriously, "Don't you think that it may be that the person who adopted you deliberately did not let you discover your powers?"
Otherwise, it doesn't make sense that Xia Zuo took so long to discover the fact that he was a soul descendant.
"It's a possibility. Xia Zuo was stunned, then smiled.
"But I believe that Uncle is doing it for my good, maybe I'm really a little special...... Although I don't know exactly what is going on. ”
"But I believe in him. Xia Zuo said seriously.
"Okay, okay. Seeing this, Edith didn't want to refute Xia Zuo, so she had to agree.
"Then let's go buy it. Xia Zuo took Edith to the front of the shops and began to buy the items he needed for this trip, especially food, Xia Zuo bought three servings, enough for the three of them to eat for several days.
"It's so heavy......" After purchasing, Xia Zuo was carrying a huge backpack full of convenience food and other props needed for survival in the wild, and he felt that his waist was almost crushed.
Seeing this, Edith smiled mysteriously on the side and said nothing.
It wasn't until Shazzo carried these things to a corner where there were no pedestrians that Edith spoke.
"Brother, I actually have a way to save you from carrying these things. ”
Xia Zuo was stunned.
"What's the solution?"
"Save props with space. Edith smiled slyly, "It's the kind of alchemy item that has a small surface volume and mass, but in fact contains a large space, which can store all kinds of items and is easy to carry." ”
When I went, I almost forgot that there was such a prop.
I think that in the beginning, there were not many places to store things on their clothes, but they could always take out something that was not small from somewhere: for example, the pitch-black cage that was used to capture ghosts before.
Presumably because everyone carries this kind of special item with them.
This special item is usually made by the craftsman of the soul descendant, because it is a special item made by the craftsman through ancient alchemy, and generally does not contain soul matter or contains a small amount of soul matter, so the soul descendant is often called alchemy item, rather than soul equipment or soul item.
Xia Zuo, as a rookie soul descendant, naturally does not have this kind of space saving props.
But Edith has.
As a famous necromancer on the coast of the East China Sea, how could Edith not even have such an alchemical item?
“...... So why didn't you wait until now to tell me this?" Xia Zuo couldn't help but hold his forehead, you just said now, I have walked such a long way with so many things on my back.
"Hee-hee, that's because it wasn't right at that time. Edith looked at Xia Zuo with a hippie smile, "It was in the middle of the city. ”
"Brother, you don't think we can show this extraordinary power to those ordinary people at will, do you?" said Edith.
“...... Also. Xia Zuo was stunned, and then realized that it was indeed not suitable to do this at that time, it might cause a commotion or something.
Xia Zuo took off the huge backpack and placed it on the ground, then took a heavy breath.
Even for Xia Zuo, who has a strong physique, it is still very physically exhausting to carry something of this size.
Edith also smiled when she saw this, and then stretched out her right hand, and on the index finger of her right hand was wearing a delicate ring inlaid with purple gems, which was Edith's space storage prop, which could also be called a space ring.
As for the wristband-shaped space savings props used by the Night Curtain and others before, they can also be referred to as space bracelets.
The spatial ring on Edith's finger flashed with a glimmer of light, and a moment later, Xia Zuo's backpack was gone: it entered the inside of the spatial ring.
"Alright, brother, let's go back to the castle. Edith smiled playfully.
"Good ......" Natsuzo rested, and then returned to the castle with Edith.
Sachs's castle was still peaceful, nothing unusual had happened.
After a short rest in the castle, Chazzo left the castle with Edith and Jasmine and headed for the plains of Dessa.
... ...
About an hour and a half later, Xia Zuo and the others arrived at the Desa Plain.
Located in the south beyond the city of Clara, the Dessa Plain is a vast and seemingly endless plain.
Although the plain is generally flat, there are some small hills and the like, the hills are dense woods, and the plains are thriving grasslands, and all kinds of wild animals appear in this plain from time to time, against the blue sky and white clouds, forming a beautiful and moving natural picture.
The wild animals in the Desa Plains are abundant and diverse, and are often the preferred choice of some nobles or hunters.
But there are also those who have a psychological shadow of the Desa Plain, which is said to be due to the presence of very ferocious beasts, more ferocious than lions and tigers, which also discourages many hunters, usually only well-equipped and well-armed nobles or experienced hunters.
Xia Zuo looked at the Desa Plains in front of him, and couldn't help but think of the Hoggen Mountains where he once lived, which, like the Desa Plains, had many wild animals and was a good place for hunting.
It's a pity that I probably won't have a chance to go back to the Hoggen Mountains in the future.
Xia Zuo couldn't help but sigh softly.
After sighing, Xia Zuo sighed and began a plan to find Leah's body with Jasmine and Edith.
... ...
At the same time, deep in the castle of Saxophone Domain.
Viscount Sachs reclined on an exquisitely crafted high-backed chair, crossed his legs, his thumb and forefinger against his chin, looking out the window at the view of the castle, not knowing what he was thinking.
The door to the side of the room suddenly opened, and a man in a gown walked in with a faint confidence in his gestures.
It was none other than Rhine, the butler under Viscount Saxe.
Rhine approached Sachs, stood beside Viscount Sachs, and spoke more respectfully.
"Lord Viscount, according to the news, the two Soul Descendants and the Undead Maiden of the Night Curtain have left the castle and seem to be heading for the Plains of Dessa. ”
“...... That's it. Viscount Sachs nodded, "It seems that they still don't believe me." ”
"Are you going to stop them?" said Rhine.
"Forget it. Viscount Sachs waved his hand, "They don't know the exact location of Leah's body, and in my anger, I just arranged for a servant to bury it in the plains of Dessa." ”
"And the servant ......," Viscount Sachs chuckled quietly, "...... Hehe. ”
Viscount Saxophone picked up a cup of black tea placed beside him, took a sip of it, the corners of his mouth raised, and continued.
"So in fact, even I don't know where Leah is buried, and as for them, it's even more unlikely. ”
"Let them go. ”
"As long as our plan can be successfully completed. ”
"As for you, you are an important force for me, so try not to attract unnecessary attention during this time. ”
Viscount Sachs said.
"Yes, I see. ”
Rhine nodded slightly, then silently exited the room.
