Chapter 128: Hunting Forest

This sleep Krazer slept directly until noon the next day, only to wake up in the cheerful and crisp laughter of the elf Monica, he stretched his waist, rubbed his sleepy eyes, looked at the elf playing with Tanatos, helplessly covered his head with his hand, thinking that he was really an energetic little guy.

Although he didn't want to leave the soft and comfortable soft bed, he still had to continue his journey today, so after a simple wash, Krazer walked out of the room with the elf, and after a hasty lunch with everyone, everyone who had already prepared for the journey began to embark on the journey again, rushing towards the destination of this mission, Bastow City.

Team Jersey Leader and Captain Lyon, who had figured out the way for themselves, were on the next road, one was sitting in the carriage telling stories and making faces and teasing the elf Monica, and the other was chatting with Krazer about some celebrity anecdotes that were close to legends.

In a conversation with Captain Leon, Krazer found that this continent is so colorful, completely different from those recorded in the books, and some unheard of interesting stories through Captain Leon's colorful narration, making these somewhat boring stories more vivid and interesting, he pricked up his ears and listened carefully to every legend told by Captain Leon, for fear of missing a single death.

Staring at a pair of curious eyes, Krazer looked at Captain Leon, who kept talking, and his heart was filled with endless emotion, he used to be a good baby who listened to his father, he listened to whatever his father said, and never refuted, except for learning magic or learning magic, he didn't know that there were so many interesting things on this continent.

Although there were some things that even the well-informed Captain Leon had heard, this did not prevent him from being interested in the legends, and what surprised him the most was that from Captain Leon's mouth, he learned that the city of Berkeley where he was going was said to have once been the core alchemy laboratory of the extinct Goblin Empire.

It is precisely for this reason that many adventurers, mercenaries and merchant groups go here every year, wanting to obtain some excavated alchemy recipes or lost alchemy techniques left over from the Goblin Empire, after all, these technologies that have been passed down in time are the real treasures.

Legend has it that beneath Berkeley lies a devastating weapon that can decide the outcome of a war, and it has no fortifications that can stop the attack. If it weren't for the fact that the Continental Race Alliance took the lead in breaking through Berkeley City and prevented this weapon from being introduced, this weapon would have dealt a devastating blow to the coalition forces once it was put into the battlefield.

Although it is rumored that the weapon was destroyed by the Continental Race Alliance, and the laboratory that developed the weapon was burned down by the Coalition after the war, even after more than 2,000 years, many people still want to believe that the weapon still exists, and it has been sleeping underground in Berkeley City waiting to be discovered.

And from the mouth of the captain of Lyon, Kreeser also learned something worth mentioning. Berkeley, as the easternmost frontier city of the Opdos Empire, had no garrison troops, only a few magistrates. And even if there is no army to defend it, the Republic of Desarethinu, as a neighboring country, is not willing to go to war with the Opdosben Empire from here, and even the robbers like locusts are not willing to come here to beg for a living.

Because 90% of the residents of this Berkeley city are goblins, there is no shining point in the city except for goblins, and there is the one less than ten kilometers outside the city, which claims to be the largest active volcano on the mainland, Ajafara Jocco Volcano, and this is a huge active volcano that may erupt at any time, no one wants to joke with their lives to live in this place where birds don't, except for those goblins who are already nothing.

Hearing Captain Leon tell him about Berkeley in detail, Kraser's heart twitched, and he felt that he had been deceived by Old Jack so badly, that he had stupidly rushed from the westernmost part of the empire to the easternmost place, and that he had gone to such a dangerous and remote place. But he thought to himself that if he hadn't accepted Old Jack's commission, he wouldn't have seen so many interesting things, which he couldn't learn from books.

In this way, in the conversation with Captain Leon, as the caravan walked northeast along the main road, a herringbone fork appeared on the flat road, and standing in front of this fork, Captain Leon pointed to the fork in the road.

"Wizard Krezer, this path on the left leads to the Imperial Capital of Wynether, and if you want to take a detour, then it is a direct one. The one on the right leads to the mercenary city of Barstow, which is the destination of our mission, and the triangular forest between the two is called the Hunting Forest. ”

As he spoke, Captain Leon took a dozen horses and led the team to the fork in the road on the right.

"Hunting Forest, as the name suggests, is a place where princes and nobles hunt and have fun, don't look at this forest is not very big, but there are countless low-level demonic beasts and beasts living in it. During the hunting season, it will be bustling here, and a large number of princes and nobles will travel with their private soldiers or in twos and threes, or compete in groups, and then you will know what aristocratic demeanor is!"

Captain Leon's face was full of irony, and he pouted and continued.

"Of course, there will also be some young people with hormones to show off their strength, and at this time mercenaries are needed, they want to show off themselves in front of their sweethearts and want to ensure their safety, and a mercenary like you is their first choice, which can ensure their safety and not make a fool of themselves in front of their sweethearts, so generally speaking, self-aware people will go to Barstow City first to issue some mercenary tasks, and only enter this forest after being fully prepared. ”

"Of course, it's not a particularly safe place, and every year during the hunting season people die or go missing, and they either become food for their owners or they become prey for others, so this place is both heaven and hell in some ways. ”

After seeing from Kraser's face that he was full of curiosity about the forest and that eager to try it, Captain Leon immediately added this sentence with a blank face.

"Uh, is it dangerous?" asked Kreeser curiously.

But as soon as his words fell, he saw a petite black shadow shoot out of the carriage, it was Thanatos, who was playing with the elf Monica, and saw him stepping on the heads of several mercenaries and jumping on his shoulder, and the man stood up and kept shaking his little nose, sniffing hard, and then pointed with his little paw at the hunting forest that Captain Leon had spoken of.

"Ahh Curiously staring at Thanatos, who was standing on Kreze's shoulder and gesturing with his small paws, Captain Leon, who was parallel to him, couldn't help but praise him, because in his opinion, this four-legged snake-like monster was a pet of Krezer, but it looked a little like a dragon, and he also knew that generally speaking, as long as the appearance was somewhat similar to a dragon, such a monster was very popular in the pet market, and obviously he just regarded Thanatos as a four-legged snake that looked slightly like a dragon.

"I don't know, just ask Monica! I've never seen him do anything like that. After a moment's hesitation, Kraser looked suspiciously in the direction that Tanatos was pointing with his little paws, and held it in front of him with both hands, shaking it like a toy.

Then the two of them pulled the reins, and the speed of progress gradually slowed down, and after waiting to be level with the carriage where the elf was, Kraser put Thanatos on his shoulder, and looked at the elf Monica, who was amused by the little joke of the Jersey leader, and shouted softly.

"Monica, come and hear what this little Gollum has to say?"

Krezer whispered to the elf as he pointed to Thanatos, who was standing on his shoulder.

"Okay big brother, the fat uncle will tell a lot of jokes, it's funny! He said that there is a little brother as old as me at home! Can we go to their house as a guest?" Before answering Krazier's question, the elf Monica stared at him expectantly with a pair of big eyes, and asked first.

"Of course, if that fat uncle invites you to come and be a guest, but for now, little Monica should tell me what this little gollum wants to say!" Looking at the elf Monica with a look of anticipation, Krazer smiled and took the restless Tanatos in his hand and sent it to the elf Monica. "I've never seen him like this. ”

"Hmm~!hmm~!There is a strong smell of blood in the forest, just northwest of our direction. Seeing that Krazer didn't seem to understand what she meant, the elf Monica stretched out her little finger and pointed somewhere in the hunting forest to the left.

After hearing the elf say this, Kraser's brows suddenly tightened, and he couldn't help but look at Captain Leon, who also happened to look at him after hearing the words, the two looked at each other, and finally turned their eyes to the direction that the elf was pointing. And even the Jersey team leader sitting in the carriage listened to the elf's words, and the smile on his face suddenly disappeared, because seeing that he was only half a day's journey away from the destination of Barstow City, no one wanted to have an accident at this time.

But the accident doesn't happen if you don't want to appear, so after hearing the words of the elf Monica, the relaxed mentality of the three suddenly disappeared, replaced by an inexplicable sense of tension, it seems that what happened in the hunting forest is to draw a perfect end to this extraordinary journey.

At the same time, after thinking of this thought, after the three of them looked at each other, no one was willing to speak to each other, and the atmosphere fell silent for a while, and the advancing team slowly stopped, because they didn't know where the faint smell of blood came from, maybe there was some trap waiting for them in front of them, and it was because of this thought that the team moving forward stopped very tacitly.

In the end, it was Krazer who took the lead in breaking the suffocating atmosphere, after all, he still had the task of protecting the caravan as it advanced. "I'd better go and see! It's good for us, and if we run into something we shouldn't do, I'm not easy to find out by myself. ”

After hearing Kreeser's words as expected, neither the Jersey team leader nor Captain Leon spoke, but let out a long breath to show their attitude. Krazer tightened his clothes, looked at the two of them with a serious face, and admonished.

"Wait here for me to come back!"

After saying this, Kreeser, who turned over and dismounted, reached out and touched the little head of the elf Monica, nodded slightly, and then pinched the latter's nose with his fingers, tightened his clothes, and rushed into this hunting forest under the leadership of Tanatos.

Running in the lush woods, somehow, Kraser had a feeling of coming home, feeling the unique smell and humidity of the dense forest, feeling the leaves that had rotted under his feet I don't know how many layers, feeling the feeling of being soft and weak, jumping hard with his legs, lightly climbing a cedar tree, alternating his hands and feet, in just a few breaths, he climbed up the branches, and shuttled through the dense forest with the way he was best at moving.

After a period of time in the thick and dense branches, Krazer could smell the faint smell of blood on his own, and as the distance closed, the smell of blood grew stronger, as if a massacre had taken place in the forest.

Thinking of this, Kreser's pace slowed down involuntarily, he didn't want to be reckless in some conspiracy trap like the one outside Fernando. Just as he was pondering in his heart, one or two low beast roars suddenly came from the direction where the smell of blood was strongest in front of him, hearing this sudden beast roar, Krezer secretly said in his heart that it was not good, he knew what such a strong smell of blood meant in the forest, and it was when he thought of this that the pace under his feet slowed down again.

But when he jumped on the branch a few times again, and reached out to remove the dense cluster of branches in front of him, the sight immediately made his hands and feet cold, and his heart beat suddenly, and even his scalp buzzed, as if half of the blood in his body was about to coagulate.
