Chapter 569: The Promised Land (4)
Anne mechanically signed the manuscripts one by one, and then filed them, she had expected Loria to slip away, and she had made sufficient preparations in advance, so that she would be organized after taking over all the work...... The kingdom that once belonged to her was small, but it was not comparable to the crusaders of more than a thousand people, and she never told Loria that she still had memories of the past.
Even if she makes the smallest decision, the memories that do not belong to her, but to the ancestors of the generations, will flood into her head and make a noise...... She makes completely independent decisions, and the conclusions of mutual compromise are definitely not much better, but again, she rarely makes the wrong decisions.
The accumulated experience of countless generations is difficult to create the future, but it is enough to protect the past.
In a way, she's the perfect agent - and while Loria's trust in her makes her happy, Pink Fur has been mysterious lately...... In Anne's eyes, Pink Fur and Alice had only been out for two days, and when they returned, there was an incomprehensible change.
Despite her good disguise, Anne noticed that Loria had become more subdued, and she could feel an unprovoked pressure whenever she was close to her...... She has so many unspeakable secrets on her, and Alice has been looking at her strangely lately.
Several times, Loria and Alice put their heads together and muttered something, and when they saw her, they would instantly pull away several meters, pretending to be calm and pretending that nothing had happened.
They weren't saying bad things about her, were they? It was a bad feeling to be hidden from two friends.
Why is this happening, it's obvious that she came first, whether she knows Pink Hair or becomes friends with Pink Hair...... Why is this so?
In a place where no one knows, while Anne is in a delusion, Loria is happily enjoying her vacation.
Barka volunteered to guard the prisoners, and Loria didn't want to see Renault and Whitemayne - although she didn't regret the decision she had made, she felt a little guilty, after all, the hope that Renault had had for more than a decade and even the future had been destroyed by the banner of the Forsaken.
Loria's pitiful guilt was quickly overshadowed by the scenery along the way, and she dragged Sharia in amazement at what she saw...... Of course, it was not that she had never seen small animals, grasslands, and forests, but she had never seen places that had never been tainted with traces of civilization.
In the wildest places she's ever visited, animals were wary of people walking upright on their legs, and the rabbits here even dared to come near her.
Loria basically agreed with Sharia's judgment that no matter where this is, there is no civilization here.
At night, they were perched on the edge of a clear river, not even a fire was lit, and the two increasingly senior vampires didn't need any light or protection from fire under the clear night sky, and Loria lay on the grass, staring against the sky.
"You know what? The night sky seen in the Valley of Thorns is different from all the places in the north, and although the positions of the stars have changed slightly, we are still under that familiar sky. ”
"Thank you, Miss. Sharia muttered sideways, the northern ...... of the Valley of Thorns It's too general, but she's getting better.
After a short rest, the two of them did not want to be exposed to the sun during the day, and Loria, who could discern direction with the help of the starry sky and all kinds of small things, did not follow the method of exploring along the coast like Sharia, she went straight north into the interior, and in the early morning of the next day, they ate some sour green fruit casually, and hid in the forest.
Loria's drawing skills are a bit of a frustration, but with the maps she draws, it's better to walk through these places again than to have nothing...... Heading north, they explored the nearby terrain a little as they spotted water sources and woodlands, and on the night of the sixth day, they passed the sixth forest on the way.
This mysterious land is vast and fertile, rich in bounty, and its climate near the ocean is warm and pleasant, far from comparable to that of Skyrim, and when the moon begins to sink, they find that the terrain begins to rise, and then the compass in Loria's hand begins to spin.
Sharia is indifferent to the change in the little box, but Loria is overjoyed by the most ominous signs in the eyes of explorers, and every once in a while, she is eager to find a novelty out of the monotony of the everyday.
Is there anything more new than a mystery in a strange land?
Fascinated by the unknown beauty of the dark ills, Loria quickened her pace, the unchanging starry sky still hanging high in the sky, she was not worried about getting lost, and after repeatedly crossing a dozen undulating hills, her compass had gone mad, and what appeared in front of her was a deep ravine that seemed to cut off the earth, with no end in sight.
She marked a large horizontal line on her own map with heavy pen and ink, and marked notes on the side—from south to north, with an elevation of increasing elevations.
"Hmm...... Distance......"
About a hundred and fifty kilometers from the coast?
Hurriedly marking down all the precautions she could think of, she straightened her bangs, thinking that it would be perfect if she had an adventure hat at this time.
The crack that suddenly appeared in the earth was forty or fifty meters wide, and even if it was atomized, it could not reach the other side - it was called a ravine rather than a rift because it was not too deep, and Loria jumped to the bottom of the ditch and found a withered strange plant...... They have wide, long leaves, but they do not have enough meridians in the leaves to support themselves.
Is this seaweed?
It's getting more and more interesting.
Climbing up, she glanced at the other side again, and the slightly undulating surface was clearly visible in the moonlight, and in the distance, like the south, was a large area of flat land.
"Alright, let's go west along this ditch and see where it leads. ”
"Hmm. ”
With a look of indifference, Sharia nodded and followed Loria, she was not very interested in the discovery, and only wanted to return to the familiar place - the blood of Barka had already made her tired of it.
They no longer explore the superfluous places, but only along the ravine, they have become much faster, hiding under their clothes during the day to sleep, and at night they have been moving all night, anyway, there are no creatures that can threaten them here, and occasionally some big cats several times larger than domestic cats look at them curiously, and they are also frightened by Loria's snort a few times and dare not approach anymore.
In three days the ravine became shallower and shallower, and when it was finally gone, they reached the westernmost point, like the southern shore, where the sea was obscured by a thick mist.
It's almost certainly a vast island.
Loria looked at her compass again, and the direction it was pointing in was still the same—east, to the center of the island. (To be continued.) )
