It rained, and it rained again, and it rained for three whole days. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 The inside of the info wooden house was very damp, and the thatched roof leaked rain, and the rain dripped down the terrain and ran down the terrain towards the door. Cassius sneezed, the low pressure and humidity that made him feel stuffy and sweaty, even the silky white robes, the fabric of which pressed against his skin. It wasn't just the skin that was uncomfortable, he felt that everything was not comfortable. When he was in the military headquarters of the capital, early in the morning, he could enjoy a delicious breakfast served in the kitchen, poached eggs, wheat bread, black tea, and raisins. But not here, he nibbled on cold hard bread and mushroom soup, which was considered breakfast. He hates the smell of mushrooms. His arms and legs were itching unbearably, and the mosquitoes in the mountains were surprisingly big, buzzing all night and biting him all over his body.

He stroked his robes, pushed the door open, and headed to the halls of the Colossus.

Braving the rain, blowing the cold wind, stepping on the muddy road, with every step, he cursed, cursed fate, cursed injustice. He is the "White Demon", the hero who defeated the Polar Regions in a white robe, and after the killing of a magician who had nothing to do with him, he became the emperor's punching bag and the scapegoat of the military department.

To make matters worse, the Rangers didn't think so, they thought he was parachuted here, why should he lead them.

He pushed open the wooden door, and everyone was sitting around the fireplace, all dressed in green Ranger clothes, not the tender green of spring, but a messy green, dark green, light green, gray-green, yellow-green, and even the hood was green. The men looked at him with a cold expression, and no one greeted him. Ranger Captain Aldington sat on the bench, his ice-blue eyes looking at him coldly, frowning.

Alding cleared his throat and said in a tone as cold as the cold wind in the mountains: "There are 3 brothers joining the Rangers today, do you take the oath or not?"

"Nope. Cassius shook his head resolutely.

"him, if he wants to, you can let him go. Ed squinted at Castheu, "No one welcomes him." ”

Grant leaned against the wall, pointed the tip of his dagger to the ground, and tilted his head: "He still won't take off that white robe, dirty white robe." ”

Kasiu roared, "This is the robe!

"Use the white robe with a ball! Don't use the rank of the Imperial Military Department to suppress people!" Marlon raised his voice and replied to Cassius with a roar, "This is the Ranger!"

Aldington snorted, "They all say that magicians are arrogant and cold, and they look down on other people, and that's what they say. You can roll. ”

Cassius wanted to step away, but he couldn't. He was appointed by the emperor as a deputy captain of the rangers, and he had nowhere to go.

"I'm a magician. Kaxiu gritted his teeth, "I'm also the deputy captain of the Ranger of the Emperor's Imperial Seal. ”

"Back in the Old Calendar, the Starry Mountains had their earliest guardians. Aldington sneered, "Those guards fend off outsiders who dare to trespass. Until the arrival of King Rhodes. With a wave of his sword, he ordered the Misty Forest to be burned, and with a heavy rain, lightning and thunder, the thunder god Gasgarnik turned into a stag and guided him out of the Misty Forest and directly to the northwest border of the Kingdom of Meno. ”

"The Guardians thought it was Thor's favor. Sam tugged at the green cloak.

"Magician, we Rangers owe allegiance to Emperor Rhodes, and his bloodline. For nearly 100 years, generations of our Rangers have guarded the Star Mountains against alien invasions. Ed took a broken bowl, drank water, and said, "The Kingdom of Meno once sent 800 cavalry, and as a result, 300 rangers beat those noble cavalry here. ”

Sam pointed at Aldington: "Far from it, 19 years ago, Aldington participated in the knightly competition of the Empire, and won the runner-up in three rounds with the then crown prince and now the emperor. He was later received by Emperor Nicklaus and became a Ranger, and later came to be nicknamed 'The Jungle Ranger'. ”

Grant added, "So don't scare people with your 'white demons', the rangers aren't scared. ”

Aldington stood up: "You come with a letter of appointment issued by the Emperor, and we approve of the Emperor's arrangement. But you won't swear, take off your robes and change into the Ranger clothes. We can see you as disobedient and cut off your head. But I decided not to do that. After the outbreak of the war for a year, too many people had died in the country, there was a lack of soldiers, and we had less than a hundred rangers, and we needed people, especially the 'white demons' who claimed to be the equivalent of a squad of people. I decided to test my patience with you, my patience is limited. ”

Kasiu shook his head: "I'm a magician, I won't wear that." For you, that's an honor, and for me, the robes are honor. I can join the work of the Rangers, but I have to wear the robes. ”

"Damn, let him be, Captain, we have more important things to do. Otto's body was found, on the trunk of a tree in the Misty Forest, blood staining his Ranger clothes, half of his head gone, and all his brains gouged out. Grant shook his head and sighed, "Thorne is probably dead too." ”

"Be on your guard, brothers. The giants have awakened. Aldington said, wiping his dagger.

"I've seen 3-meter-tall polar people, they're incredibly powerful...... Cassiu's mind flashed through the polar people's appearance.

"Not the polar people you said. The polar people are tall and intellectually about the same as ours, and they are about the same level of civilization as we are. The giants are different, their skin is as thick as rhinoceros skin, and they use animal skins as clothes to knock bones and suck the marrow. Brand explained, "You think the Rangers are just going to protect against the human enemies of the Empire? No, Cassie, it's the demons of the Misty Forest that the Rangers are really defending against. ”

"Wake up once every 800 years, and the last time you wake up, in the old calendar, the forest guards, led by the Night Ranger, fought bloodily to drive them back underground. Sam whispered, "800 years have passed in the blink of an eye, and they have woken up again." ”

Aldington sheathed his sword, glanced at the Rangers sitting around the fireplace, and said, "I decided to go into the forest and go to Thorne." ”

Marlon shook his head: "It's too dangerous, captain, from the time of Otto's death, it has been at least a month, and Thorne is more than lucky." ”

"We are all brothers, and we will never leave us. Aldington's eyes flashed with an ice blue light, "As long as there is a heart, there is food and clothing in the forest, I think Thorne is lost." ”

"Maybe it's an escape, a deserter. A deserter who reneges his oath. Malone narrowed his eyes, "Maybe he was captured by a giant, maybe he escaped." ”

Aldington ignored Malone and said, "Whoever wants to go with me, go to Thorne, if I don't go to him, we will break our oath, and the deceased should be buried." On our way to Thorne, we have to investigate the situation of the Giants. ”

Grant and Ed stood up, Sam hesitated and stood up. Marlon was still sitting, Cassius hadn't sat down, and no one had asked them to sit for him.

Aldington said coldly: "Grant, Ed, you each bring your own team, set off in half a day, and be fully prepared." Sam, Malone is right, it's too dangerous to go this time, and I'm afraid that the Giants will attack the Colossus Castle, so stay well. ”

Aldington adjourned, no one bothered Cassiu, and he felt like an outsider, air.

The rain finally stopped, and Cassiu took a deep breath as he walked out of the hall, where the air was fresh and moist. He stretched out to his heart's content and decided to wander around the Colossus.

With the help of the elevator, Kahew climbed to the wall above the Colossus and looked far away.

The Colossus was built on a hill, and its large, winding walls formed a line of defense, which was so wide that it was large enough to ride a horse. Every 100 kilometers, there is a watchtower, and the vast forest outside the city walls is filled with mist, and this fog does not disperse all year round, hence the name Misty Forest.

Someone tapped him on the shoulder, it was skinny Sam. The beard on his mouth was still soft, and his brown hair was soft.

"Are you looking at the Misty Forest?" Sam asked, following the direction Kahew was looking.

"Sam, tell me more about the Rangers and the Misty Forest. Cassius sneezed and said.

"Do you want to hear it? It rained continuously, and finally it cleared, and we could walk along the way and stretch our bodies. Sam tightened the sword at his waist and said.

"Legend has it that in ancient times, the giants ruled the world, the mountain giants liked to build towers, and the forest giants were cruel and despicable, and they fought each other for territory. They fought fiercely, and everything fell into calamity, alarming the gods. Gasganik, the god of thunder, leads the Children of the Forest to help the Mountain Giants turn the tide and defeat the Forest Giants. When the last mountain giant falls, it turns into a starry mountain range. In order to prevent the return of the forest giants, the children of the forest stationed in the Star Mountains, and they relied on the wisdom of the mountain giants to build the great wall. Sam kicked the stone under his feet and spoke.

"So, this Great Wall wasn't built by humans?" Kahieu touched the wall, the stones were smooth, and the stones were glued together with unknown materials.

"After the rise of mankind, they reclaimed wastelands, burned forests, and fought against the sons of the forest. Sam shrugged, "Isn't it ironic? The Children of the Forest are no match for the iron-wielding humans, and are dying out. ”

Kasiu smiled: "And then the humans took the Great Wall for themselves?"

"It turns out that the forest giants have made a comeback. Humans organized the first rangers, Gasganik, oh, that's the name Emperor Rhodes gave to the land, but before that, it was called Nimuyagarda. Sam pointed to the misty forest in the distance, "The Rangers fought bloodily and fought back the forest giants. So, generation after generation of rangers guarded it. ”

"As far as I know, through the Misty Forest, across the Sutan River, and across the Asna Mountains, is the Kingdom of Tax, which is now the Province of Tax. Why didn't the forest giants show up there?" Cassius wondered.

"It's too cold there. Most of the Orlsian Mountains are covered with snow, and the Taks, whether called a kingdom or a province, where the climate is not adapted to by the forest giants. Sam blinked and looked at Cashew.

Cassius sneezed just right, "It's like I'm not used here, Ahhhhhhhhh

Sam smiled, smiling as if his skinny body was about to fall apart: "Cassiu...... What shall I call you, my lord?, Captain Aldington is not as hard as you think, he is soft-mouthed. ”

Cassius nodded: "I know, when he ordered the search for the Rangers who had been missing for a month, I knew he was a good guy. ”

Sam jumped on the wall, light as a swallow, and walked on the battlement, stretching out his hands.

"You fall carefully. Cassiu worried.

"It's okay, I like to climb the walls. It's high, the view is good, and it also exercises my guts. Sam said, "You're a good man, too, I know it at a glance." But I want to ask you for one thing, follow Captain Aldington to the Misty Forest. ”
