Chapter 401: A Strange Figure
At night, in a tree in the dark wilderness.
Thor crawled between the thick branches, cut some notches in the branches with his long sword, and then strangled the notches with a strong rope, intertwining the ropes back and forth, and after knotting the ropes, a simple hammock-like thing was made.
Nicks are left on the branches to allow the rope to be tied to the smooth surface of the trunk. As for the hammock itself, it is to give people who spend the night in the tree a place to stretch their feet and not cause pain in some important parts because of riding on the trunk for too long.
When everything was done, Thor leaned against the stout body of the tree, stretched his feet straight and rested on the rope net. With a puppet shiitake mushroom in his arms and a blanket on the surface, this is all Thor has prepared for spending the night in the wilderness.
"Do you do that often?" asked Neferna in her arms.
"It's not very often, maybe once every three or four days. Thor's gaze was calm.
"And how did you spend those nights?"
"There's not much specific, fishing, reading, painting, cooking, or running out into a secret realm to kill something, that's all. Anyway, I can't feel it when I'm busy, anyway, it's a curse that occasionally sleeps. Saul replied.
"Talk to me. Neferna remained as curious as ever, as if she wanted to dig up all the old things about Thor.
So Thor hugged the puppet shiitake mushroom and began to look back on the past.
In fact, they spent many nights snuggled up to this during this time. Neferna seems to enjoy this two-person journey, and when she threatens to be a goddess, she also fantasizes about living as free as a human being.
Tonight is a night of sleepless curses, and he will definitely not be able to sleep, but the necessary stay and rest are still needed, after all, it has been a day, and it is not practical to rush all day without a head.
Thor could have hid the portal tower in a tree and returned to the ring to spend the night. But both he and Neferna thought that such a night might be a good time to breathe in the fresh air, so they chose to sleep in the wilderness.
It is now the year 722 of the Dark Calendar, and the second month of midsummer has come to an end. Thor has been repeatedly slaying the necromancers he encounters during this time, and when anything becomes a numbing habit, it is not difficult to persevere.
In terms of spiritual power, there has been a certain increase, and the number of uses of 'Abyss Rift' has finally crossed the threshold of one hundred.
There was no good news for the rest, but some time ago I met a pack of devil-horned wolves in the wilderness. They know a lot about this kind of wolf, Thor, and they are old rivals in the past, but now they seem to be less active than they used to be.
Although they can escape the pollution of ghosts with their special abilities, hunting in the dark wilderness is becoming more and more difficult. At that time, Thor thought that he had to die, after all, the hungry wolves would theoretically not back down.
With Thor's current fifth-order strength, it was easy to crush this group of demon-horned wolves. But if it was possible, he didn't really want to hurt the wolves, and who knows what would be left in the wilderness after killing and killing?
So Thor tore off the cloak that concealed his breath, and didn't even pull out the sword behind his back.
Maybe the wolves were well fed at the time, or maybe they sensed Thor's breath, and their intelligence led them to the conclusion that Thor was not easy to provoke. So the two sides looked at each other affectionately for a moment from a distance, and then went on their own roads, which was also a great joy.
Speaking of eating, Neferna, the goddess shiitake mushroom, has been eating all the way. Of course, she mostly eats the necromancers that Thor has spent.
If she had eaten the Ghost's flesh, Thor suspected that she would have gained weight.
Neferna threatens to eat a certain amount, and she will be able to grow herself, and in the future, she will be able to kill the spirit herself.
So in the little book in Saul's mind that recorded 'things worth looking forward to', there was another article about Neferna.
A gust of wind from the wilderness shook Neferna's puppet's blonde hair in the trees.
"So, you're trying to prove that you're extraordinary?" said Neferna habitually after listening to Thor's story.
"Yes, I felt extraordinary from the moment I fell to the ground, but unfortunately I still couldn't escape the fate of being left orphaned in the local monastery. Thor also joked.
When the gust of wind blew, the two fell into a long silence.
The long sleepless night was like this, and when I was tired of talking, I would be silent for a while, and then I would continue to talk when I remembered something.
Sometimes Neferna is trick-or-treating.
Once, in the middle of the night, he suddenly shouted that the dark dragon was coming, and he almost scared Thor from his sleep to fall from a tree.
"Where are we going after that?" asked Neferna in her arms.
"I was in a hurry to go home, but I couldn't go back for a while. So I'm going to get to the waypoint in Pandor first, and then I'm going to teleport to the main city of Odrenza in the south. Thor gave out his rough plan.
"Odrenza, what are you going to do?"
"Well, buy something, some rare potion materials, and take you to the scenery of the main city by the way, do you want to go?"
"What about after that, you think?" asked Neferna.
"After that I'll have to go home, and if you don't mind, you can go back with me, or you'll have to experience the highest level of wandering alone. Thor shrugged, sure about abducting this goddess shiitake mushroom, and it was just a matter of course.
"And who else is in your family?"
"A nest of shiitake mushrooms like you, oh, a bunch of maidens. Thor leaned from the side.
"Will they reject me?" said Neferna, who seemed worried.
"How is that possible, they all get along very well. β
"Oh, then...... All right. Neferna fell silent, not knowing what she was thinking.
There was silence for a while.
"It's a bit of a dependency now. Thor took Neferna in his arms and said as he stretched his arms.
After waiting for a while, but not getting a familiar response to ridicule and banter, Thor subconsciously turned his head, and suddenly felt a little frightened.
"Don't blush in the future!" Thor grimaced, you can make a face, it's a bad habit to blush and be scary.
"You're so annoying! Is blushing controllable? No, who's blushing? I didn't...... Oh, there's a necromancer approaching under the tree, do you want to go down and kill it?" Neferna explained weakly, and quickly changed the subject.
"You little goddess, don't think about doing it all day long, do more meaningful things. Seeing the necromancer under the tree come into view, Thor ripped off the cloak strap around his neck, revealing his dark constitution to scare it away, and it was too troublesome to go down the tree and go up the tree.
"What's the point?" said Neferna.
"For example, the toys I gave you last time, you can also take the initiative to ask me to play with them if it's okay. Thor's eyes lit up.
"Bah, Bah, Bah, Bah, Smelly Rascal!" Neferna blushed, and scolded decisively.
The last time she was deceived by Thor's old dog in the tent, Neferna still figured it out. At that time, that strange thing was clearly a part of Thor's body, and although she didn't know what it was, she always blushed inexplicably every time she thought about it.
"Come on, after such a long night, there is always something meaningful. Old Dog Thor took Neferna's little hand.
"Phew, don't play!, you're not allowed to take it out!" Neferna clutched her cloth eyes in a panic.
"You always don't want to study seriously, what are you afraid of? It doesn't bite, and besides, there's no one else here. Come, be obedient, and I will teach you more interesting things in the future. With a look of coaxingness, Thor broke Neferna's little hand away and dragged her somewhere.
The winds of the wilderness still come and go, masking the evil aura of a certain Great Demon King.
The next day, the journey continued, but before you knew it, something had changed.
At that time, the ghost bodies of Thor and Neferna were in the wilderness with two necromancers who had come in a gang.
"Somebody's coming! Well, it looks like a couple of humans. Neferna suddenly warned.
Thor slashed the last ghost apart, then turned to stand with Neferna, looking in the direction she was looking.
It's a pity that Thor of the fifth order only has a dark vision of more than twenty steps, and the other party has not entered the range, so he can't see anything.
"Who are they? Oh, I mean what's weird about dress, etc.?"
"I can't see it, but they stood still, facing your direction, and they should have seen you. Neferna said.
See me?βThor's gaze suddenly became a little heavy. They can't see each other, but the other party can see themselves, which means that their dark vision is above them, and they may even have a much higher rank strength than themselves.
"Then you can roughly judge how far away they are from us, and how many steps are there?" Thor instructed after a moment's thought.
"Step count...... Fifty or sixty paces!" Neferna muttered, poking her head out.
Fifty or sixty steps?What kind of dark vision is that?'Silent Perception'?Could it be that those people are all eighth-order?When did there be so many eighth-order people on the mainland?Could it be that the Dark Council is eyeing him again?Thor was a little shocked by Neferna's news.
After that feast of self-detonating magic, the Dark Council and the North should have thought they were dead, could it be that those guys didn't worry about what magic marks they left on themselves in the end?
"Are you sure they saw me? you keep an eye on them, and let me know as soon as there's any movement!" Thor gave a new instruction, and at the same time gave up preparing to escape, it was completely pointless to run the fifth order and the eighth order.
If this group of people is really coming for themselves, it is likely to be the Dark Council.
If you don't do it yourself, you'll be caught again, and you may be bombed again over this wilderness.
"They...... Well, I should have seen you, after all, I hid the ghost body, and they couldn't see me. There were five people in all, all facing our direction, standing there doing nothing, as if in ...... Communication?" Neferna wasn't sure either.
"They're leaving!"
"One of them raised his hand and pointed at us, and then they all left!" said Neferna at last.
