Chapter 42: Guarding the Guards

In the space of a week, the cavalry of Seriken took out two more orc teleportation points, and with the blessing of Bibo's magic, Alger had even captured an orc warlock alive, but he was unable to ask for any useful information, and in the dwarf's intimidation, the orc warlock blew himself up with a spell, and Alger led everyone north for another day's journey, and finally they decided to return to the camp to rest before running out of supplies, and by the way, see what news there was on the Rust side.

For the alliance, Alger dismissed, this knight has always been skeptical of Rust's assistance, the dwarves don't care, as long as there is a warm fire and spirits, he doesn't care where he is at all, many people, including Bibo, are worried, if they can't stop the orc army, the cavalry of Seriken is most worried about the safety of their families, they are not like the Rusts, they have tall walls and fortresses to guard, so these people are excited when they hear that they will camp on the return trip.

"It's not a way to go on like this!" Bibo rode after Alger, "We still haven't been able to figure out the origin of the orc waypoints, and we don't know how many waypoints there are in the entire grassland or elsewhere. ”

"Yes," Alger opened the mask on his helmet, he always kept a neat attire, and had to shave his face with hot water every morning to rest his beard, what an authentic knightly style, "Lord Gavin will have a way, you Rusts can hide behind the walls, and we have a place to go!" ”

"What do you mean?" Bibo asked, the Sericons had been roaming the grasslands for more than a decade, and he couldn't imagine what decent defenses they would build.

"North," Alger turned and pointed to the snow on his back, "the orcs don't set foot there, I remember when I was a kid, Master Gavin took us there to avoid the orcs. ”

"Northside?" Bibo's mind raced to think, "Across the silver stream that flows into the Lake of God's Eye, the Bone Spear Wasteland to the north?" ”

"That's right, at that time I followed Lord Gavin, there were only a few dozen of us, we went north to reconnoitre, after being attacked by the orcs, we had no choice but to get there, and it turned out that the orcs in that place were reluctant to come, and they also waded through the silver stream, but after chasing for a few miles, they returned." Alger shrugged, "Don't ask me why, no one knows what's going on, Master Gavin led us north again, we also wanted to find out why, but we didn't go far and we returned, that place is really not what we humans want to go." ”

"What do you see?" Bibo asked curiously, remembering the records he had once seen, the Spear Bone Wasteland was barren, there was no record of any living creatures, and there were few people, "Then have you reached the Frost and Snow Path?" What was it from there? ”

"No," the knight shook his head, "that legendary place, presumably only the god of light can set foot in!" We had only been far north for less than half a day, and we were terrified, all kinds of beasts were covered with dry bones, and the huge fanged skull was even bigger than a tent, and I clearly remembered the fangs of the skull, which were longer than my spear," Alger waved the spear in his hand, "I think those orcs must be afraid of these monsters, but no one has ever seen them alive, not even those who later joined our cavalry. ”

"Maybe it's left over from ancient times," Bibo remembered that in the town of Cavos, when he was bored, he flipped through a picture book of "Introduction to the Species of the Kingdom - The Wonderful World", "Now on the continent, the largest animal is the mammoth on the plains of GuranΓ§o, the whole body is the size of a tent, like you said, the skull alone is so big, that is adding the body, tsk, tsk, I can't imagine it!" ”

"We have been told that it is a sacred area, set up by the god of light to prevent outsiders from intruding, and that the giant monsters are the guardians of the gods, who watch over everyone who comes near them in the cold wind and snow, devour the intruders, and when they die, they will be reduced to bones and fall asleep, and once awakened, they will wake up," continued Alger, waving his whip to urge his horse to move on, "and the top magicians on the continent, who have been instructed by the god of light, After death, the soul also turned into a guardian, guarding the Frost and Snow Path to guard the guy who wanted to climb the Blade of Lannos, so now, basically no one can get close to that area. ”

Suddenly, Bibo remembered the dream, in which the elf Luna had told him that it seemed that it was indeed a place where demons could not get close.

"Humph!" Bruce just caught up and pouted, "It's a barren wasteland, and there's no fart." I've heard from our people that coming out of our mines, and up the River of Blades, we'll pass through a vast swamp the size of a Whispering Forest, where there are these traps and poisonous beasts that guard the only way to the Blade of Lennoth, and no one can approach it. ”

"Who knows, one side is west, the other side is east, it seems that except for the unknown area in the north, there is really no way to go up to the Blade of Lannoth, don't you dwarves are all underground, how can you get to that swamp?" Alger looked at the dwarf, "Could it be that some of you want to climb the Lannoth Blade?" I thought you would prefer to explore the secret of the continent's highest peak from underground! ”

"I heard it in Mud Chain Town, a ship came to Warhammer Harbor that day, and a human crew member said it, but I don't know if I drank too much, hahaha!" The dwarf laughed, "Our mine did go deep into the depths of the Lannoth Blade many years ago, but,"

"What? What was found? Bibo's eyes widened, he and Agnes finally found the Flame Stone in the mines of the Peak of Power, so there should be something in the Blade of Lannoth.

"Nothing, hahaha!" Bruce shook his head, "It seems that there are other rare ores besides magic crystals. ”

"I know," said Alger, "it's all a fictional story, and if it's true, it's the Lake of God's Eye, where there are legends of elven treasures and fantastic wonderlands, but many people can't come back when they go." ”

"Are those elves with long ears? Aren't they all in the forest," Bibo asked, Luna didn't know where she was now, if she had ever met the demon head of her dreams again.

"Of course not, it's the kind of pretty ones who are even shorter, with all sorts of wings, and they confuse people," the knight looked at Billpo and Bruce, "I warn you, don't believe it when you encounter it, you will think that there is a road ahead, but it is actually the surface of the Lake of God's Eye, and you will end up drowning in the water." ”

"Phew," the dwarf spouted, "or you humans are always degenerate, either womanizers or greedy, I wouldn't be at all!" ”

"Don't speak too soon! Dwarf! Alger sneered, "Of the four men who came from Rust, two of them went back, one for faith, one for love; Two people stayed, one to find out, and the other for what? ”

"Ahem!" Bruce waved his hand, "You humans are always so dark! With that, he slowed down with his special stirrups and shouted at the cavalry behind him, "Man, give me a sip of warmth and warmth!" ”

"Look," Alger said to Bibo, "there's no way for everyone to escape their inner desires," he lowered his voice, "in God's Eye Lake, in Sunset Town, there are rumors of Lannos blood in many places, you know, only when you become stronger, you will be able to bear it!" Otherwise, they will be tormented to death by lust like those who drown. ”

"Lord Alger," Bibo nodded, "whether it is desire or faith, everyone's obsession in their hearts drives them to do something, experience is often the best teacher, it will make your thinking more agile, judgment more accurate, strong mental power can provide protection, thank you for the reminder." ”

"That's right," Alger shouted at the group with his mask closed, "quick, brothers, rush!" ”

Bibo also caused the horses to run fast and return to the camp early, Lord Gavin had not yet told him anything about his father, and Surenee and Lawrence, I don't know what the situation would be when they returned, but if there was news, the crow would definitely be able to arrive early.

Five days later, the exhausted cavalry returned to camp, and another cavalry had returned three days earlier, and they had also destroyed an orc waypoint, but they were unable to catch it alive, and after the burial ceremony for the fallen cavalrymen, Gavin left Bibo in his tent.

"How? My lord, is there any news about the Rust Defense Station? Bibo sat down in the tent, and the guards served the stew and ale, and then departed, leaving only Lord Gavin and him.

"Well," the old knight said, holding his glass, not immediately bringing it to his lips, "I have received news from Barron, that the Rangers have departed, that Surenee and Lawrence, but that there is also Jerome, this fellow, who was in Fort Santeny back then, was just an ordinary officer!" Rust's support? Hmph, I see that I am here with other plans! ”

"Don't you have a letter from Mistress Surene? They're going to be from here," Bibo asked, thinking that Sureni would definitely send him a message, and that there must be something wrong with it.

"No, it's Jacob of Rust, the enchanted Raven can find us!" The old knight shook his head, "Be careful! Barron mentions a mysterious black-robed man who came with Jerome, who had been gone a few days before Surenee and the others returned to Rust, and that he must have arrived here early! ”

"There's still a troop of cavalry to leave tomorrow morning, I'll go with them," Bibo remembered the evil black-robed mage in the town of Kavos, and decided to keep him safe before he was out of power, "When I get back, Sureni and they will almost arrive, you can arrange for me to meet with her quietly and discuss a solution." ”

"Okay!" The old knight nodded, and drank all the wine in the cup, "You can't hide from what should come, after all, the big thing at the moment is to solve the orcs!" As for you, young man, have a good night's rest, and if you have the chance, I suggest you go to Sunset Town. ”

No matter how much Bibo begged, the old knight would never say another word about Sunset, and after he finished his meal, he walked sullenly to his tent, thinking that he would ask him next time he came back.

As he approached his tent, one of the guards chased after him and shouted at him, "Wait, my lord, Lord Gavin, please go back!" ”

Bibo began to turn back, secretly wondering if the old knight wanted to say something more, he had just turned around and was about to ask the guard, when he suddenly found that his body was imprisoned and could not move, and the guard's face was blurred in the dark, and he could only see the purple light flashing in this guy's hand.
