Chapter 19
chapter19
Although Lub doesn't like to talk, it doesn't mean that he doesn't like to think, and he has a lot of questions about Filsie as a person.
First of all, Filsi's strength is too strong for his age, and it is not an exaggeration to say that he is a genius, as far as Jim of the Mercenary Guild is concerned, it is easy for Filsi to go to a well-known mercenary group like Glomy, so why did he come to the White Lion Mercenary Group, a mercenary group that is not well-known and even difficult to form? Is it really just for the sake of Takales' face? In addition, Filsie's family background should be very good, whether it is his expensive clothes, or his flaming horse that can be used by ordinary people for a lifetime, it shows that he is a good birth, why would a rich young master in the capital come to a small border town like Marion City? He didn't come specifically to meet a mercenary leader who matched his aesthetics.
Lubu said: "The white lion is the sacred beast of the Sarata country, which is only found in the beast forest of Alek City, and ordinary people cannot enter the beast forest, so you are either a young master in a rich country or a nobleman with a title, no matter which one it is, you are a noble person." With your status, why did you come to Marion City? What do you like about the White Lion Mercenary Regiment? ”
Firsey stirred up the firewood to make the bonfire burn more vigorously, and said, "I came to Marion City to travel, and I joined the White Lion Mercenary Regiment because Tacales has a face that I like very much. He paused, and said, "Then what are you coming to the country of Salata?" Oh, you met the regimental leader in Browntown, so with your identity and status, why hide in a small town like Browntown? That's a mismatch for you. Isn't it, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince Lub of the Gregory Kingdom. ”
Lubu's pupils constricted, his dagger swirled between his nimble fingers, and the brilliant blue gems tore a crack in the night! He did not hesitate to stab the dagger at Filsie, Filsi snapped his fingers, and a thunderbolt slashed down from the sky, accurately smashing into Lub's hand holding the dagger, Lubu twisted his wrist, avoided the thunderbolt, threw the dagger, caught it with the other hand, and attacked Filsie relentlessly! The tip of the dagger was getting closer and closer to Filsie, but Filsie didn't dodge or dodge, and didn't even blink his eyes, as if he was sure that Lubu would not hurt him, but the wind that broke the dagger had blown in front of him, blowing his forehead hair in all directions, and the sharp blade was about to sink between his eyebrows! At this moment of lightning, a voice suddenly sounded, Lu Bu frowned slightly, turned around half a circle, and inserted the dagger back into the dagger sleeve.
Tacales got out of the tent and said, "I can't sleep, either you two go to sleep and I'll take your place." ”
As if nothing had happened, Filsey said naturally, "I'm not sleepy, Lub go to sleep." ”
Takales said, "All right, then go to sleep." ”
Lub said, "I sleep in your tent." ”
Takales asked, "Why?" Didn't all the tents be allocated before? ”
Lub said, "Monthama snores. ”
As soon as Lub had said this, Monhama seemed to respond to him, and a loud snoring came from the depths of the tent.
"Okay," said Tackales, "you can sleep, and I'll sleep in a carriage with Filssy." ”
Lub said, "Yes. ”
In the mercenary group, the people who Tacales knew most were Monhama and Filsi, one was his childhood sweetheart, who grew up together; The other was a companion and friend he met in Marion City, who helped him a lot.
Tacales and Filsey sat down side by side, naturally holding Filsie's shoulders, like two good brothers with deep feelings, Filsie shrugged his shoulders uncomfortably, trying to avoid Takales, but Takales didn't understand Filsie's deep meaning, only when Filsey felt cold, but hugged people tighter, Filsi had no choice but to let him.
Takales said, "What are you talking to Lub about?" ”
Filsie said, "Just talk about it." ”
"You're so good that you can talk to Lub, I don't have anything to talk to about him," said Takales, "and often he doesn't even answer a word when I say more than ten sentences, making me feel like I'm talking to the air." ”
"He's fit to be a listener," Filsey said. ”
"That's true," said Takales, "eh, I'll tell you a secret. ”
"What secret?" Firsey asked. ”
Takales smiled mysteriously.
Tacales leaned close to Filsie's ear, and even breath sprayed into the other's ear, which made Filsi have to turn his head sideways.
Filsi pushed Takales, distanced himself from the man, and asked, "What's the secret you're going to tell?" ”
"Oh, what I'm trying to say is that Lub is not an ordinary person. ”
Filsey asked, "Do you know where Lub came from?" ”
"I don't know," Takales said. ”
Filsey asked, "Have you asked?" ”
"No," said Takales, "but you don't have to ask to guess that Lubuding is of extraordinary origin." His dagger is made of steel materials that I have never seen before, and the luster of the sharp and blade is very similar to the hardest metal in the Star Luo Continent, 'Dragon's Breath Steel', which is described in the book, plus the priceless blue gem on the handle, the price of that dagger may not be lower than your Flame Horse. How can a person with such a dagger be an ordinary person? Oh...... Of course, he is a thief, and it cannot be ruled out that the dagger was stolen by him, and if he can really steal such a good dagger, then he is not an ordinary thief. All in all, his origins must be unusual. ”
Filsey had always thought that Takales was a perfect face, a righteous and enthusiastic young man, but he didn't want to have a delicate mind that was good at observation under his swaggering appearance.
"Since you have doubts about Lub's origins," said Filsie, "have you ever asked him?" ”
"No," said Tacales, "he doesn't even want to talk to me, so where will he talk about his family history?" He doesn't say, I won't ask, he's my partner and I'll respect him*. ”
Filsey said, "Aren't you worried that he's going to be bad for you?" ”
Takales smiled: "Filsi, you think too much, I have no money and no power, what disadvantage can he do to me." ”
Filsie said, "For example, coveting your beauty and treating you badly or something. ”
"Oh, I think you're a little more likely to be wrong to me," said Tacales. ”
Tacales and Firsey passed the long night by small talk, and Lubu in the tent did not fall asleep, and with his good hearing, he listened to Tacales' conversation without missing a word. He closed his eyes, rubbed the sapphire on the dagger, rolled over, and then fell asleep with his back to Monroe.
In the second half of the night, Ducares suffered a shoulder injury and couldn't hold it back to sleep, so Filsey summoned the White Lion and asked the White Lion to help them stay in the middle of the night at the price of a barbecue leg of lamb, and the White Lion flicked his tail, slouched down in front of the fire, and arched Filsey with his big head, indicating that he accepted the deal, and then Filsey got into the carriage and took a nap while taking care of Takales.
Monroe was the first to wake up, and as soon as he came out of the tent, he met the lazy white lion, who didn't bother to look at him, and used his tail to chase away a little bird that dared to rest on it, and Monroe was also startled.
Monroe tiptoed close to the white lion, tentatively reaching out to touch the white lion's supple mane, but he was afraid that the white lion would bite him, so he couldn't touch it after the hand froze in the air for a long time.
Filsi lifted the curtain of the carriage and said sleepily, "Budia doesn't bite." ”
Monroe asked, "Is this the name of the white lion?" ”
"Well, it's a very lazy white lion," Filsey said. ”
The white lion lifted his eyelids, his eyes were not focused, and he quickly closed his eyes again.
Monroe gently stroked the white lion's fur and exclaimed, "It's beautiful." ”
Filsie said, "Yes. ”
One after another, everyone got up, and after breakfast, they hit the road again. By noon, the five of them were outside the Forest of Terror.
The horror forest is like a separate world, incompatible with the world, at this time it is obviously at noon, the sun is bright and warm, but the horror forest is shrouded in a layer of gray mist, as if it is wrapped in an enchantment, the sunlight does not penetrate at all, making this forest eerie as if it is in the dark night.
Monroe said, "There is no daylight in the Forest of Terror, and you must not go out of the candlelight. ”
"Okay," said Monthama...... Tsk, this forest is dark and swarthy, it's quite terrifying, no wonder it's called the horror forest. ”
Takales teased, "Are you scared? ”
Monhama said, "What nonsense? There's nothing on this continent that scares me! ”
Takales said, "Yes, Amon is the bravest knight, let's go brave, let's go on an adventure!" ”
The trees of the Forest of Terror were densely packed, one after the other, all towering into the sky so high that no one could see the end, and their roots spread exaggeratedly all over the land, half of which were deep into the ground, and the other half were exposed to the air, forming strange uneven paths. Given that the ground was too steep and the road was narrow, the five men abandoned the carriage and walked through the forest of terrors.
As Rhodes said, every tree in this forest is engraved with a face with an exaggerated expression, and the facial features on that face are very detailed and realistic, as if it were a real human face!
"Is it true that Rhodes said that every face on this tree represents a man who died in the forest of terrors? ”
Monroe said: "This is what is written in the book, and there is no way to verify whether it is true or not." ”
Filsey said: "It's probably a half-truth, based on the area of the Terror Forest, not to mention tens of thousands of trees, I don't think there will be so many people coming to the Terror Forest to die, after all, there have been no rumors of any treasures in this forest, but the hunters will not make so many people rush to hunt." ”
Monroe said, "Ah, not really, there was a legend in this forest many years ago. ”
"What legend?" Monthama asked. ”
Monroe said, "Legend has it that the Forest of Terror has a magical fruit that can be eaten and even upgraded to one level. ”
