018 Giving gifts

Dann sat on horseback and galloped west with Simon's group. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info With a horse, the speed is much faster, Dann sat on the horse's back, thinking about the dwarf and Spiret, and wondered how they were now?

Even though they were already happy with their speed, Dann didn't feel fast enough, and he wanted to spend as little time on the road as possible. He wanted to see Eligela as soon as possible, and then ask her about Gansard.

Thinking of Old Bull's safety, as well as his own problems, Dan En felt anxious. But in front of Simon, he couldn't show any clues, and Danen admired Simon very much. If he knew that he was related to black magic, I don't know if he would want to kill himself with hatred, after all, it was the beast army, the old army of black magic, that made the Gangti country perish.

"Prince and Princess Opal, how are they?" Dann asked as he rested at night

"They're safe now," Simon said simply, because they had been in a hurry and had not brought any food with them, and now they had to hunt and find some wild fruit to eat after repeated delays on the road. Fortunately, today Danen is riding horses all the way, and the energy consumed is much less than yesterday. Maybe it's because I ate those nuts in the morning, but I'm not very hungry now.

Before leaving, the dryad brought a lot of nuts to Danen, and Danen took out the nuts and shared them with everyone.

"Those...... Dryads, you call them dryads, right, they seem to like you very much. Simon said as he ate it, and as for why the dryad didn't give him nuts, he didn't really care at all.

"I think they're cute, too, they're like angels," Dann said, with a shallow smile on his face.

"Indeed," Simon said

"If the Gangti country is lost, then Merry and they ......" Dan En asked, if the Gangti country is lost, then it will be people like Merry who will suffer.

"It looks like the beast army is coming back this time, and as long as there is war, they will need weapons. Merry is a good swordsmith, and as long as the official war has not begun, they are safe for now. It's just that I'm afraid I'll have to suffer a lot from the beast army. Simon said that the people of Gangti were all they had to protect, but now, in order to retain the opportunity to turn over, they had to choose to abandon them temporarily.

Soon it was completely dark, and after a brief dinner, they found a place to camp. Before going to bed, Simon said that if all went well, they would have two days to see Prince Opal and Princess Iragera.

Dann fell asleep in a daze, but it was all because he was so sleepy, and he wanted to wait for everyone to take out his mask and take a look. But he fell asleep almost as soon as he closed his eyes, and by the time he woke up again, it was already the middle of the night.

The sound of snoring came and went, adding a touch of breath to the silent night. Danen got up quietly, moving as lightly as possible so as not to make a sound. Danen went to a large tree, took out the mask from the palm of his hand, and after making sure that no one had noticed, put the mask on.

The eyes that were originally pitch black instantly became much brighter. In the candlelight, Dann saw a red figure walking down a long hallway. The silent corridor, only the sound of her light footsteps. She kept walking forward, and it seemed that she couldn't walk the end of the corridor, and suddenly there was a fork in the line. The red figure spun around and disappeared around the corner. When Danen went to look for it again, he found that the red figure could no longer be found.

It was then that Dann heard a knock at the door, and he looked for it. The red figure reappeared, and she knocked on a black door, which was opened from the inside. The red figure entered without saying a word, and the black door was closed again.

Dann stood in front of the black gate for a long time, and when he turned around, he found Prince Opal standing behind him, his eyes staring directly at the black door. Even though he knew that he was in another space that Prince Opal couldn't see, Dan En was still shocked into a cold sweat.

Prince Opal's eyes were like nothing he had ever seen before, and there was helplessness in the depths of his eyes. Why did he watch Eligela approach the black door and not stop it, if he didn't want her to go in, he could have stepped in and stopped her. But he obviously didn't want that to happen, but he didn't do anything. Just as he watched Eligela being driven away by the people of Gangti, he could only stand quietly beside her, but did nothing.

Dann suddenly became curious about the black door, and he wanted to find out what was behind the door that could make Prince Opal so helpless. But the door was closed, and he couldn't open it, so he could only go to the door and listen carefully to the sound inside.

It's a pity that there is no sound inside, and Dann has a guess that maybe this is Princess Eligaira's room, and she is now resting. So Dann prepared to leave to see Prince Opal. Just as he was about to leave, the black door reopened, and Princess Ilegella appeared in the doorway, dressed in pajamas, her eyes looking straight at Dann.

Dann knew that it wasn't that Eligera was really looking at herself, it was just a virtual thing. But he was wrong, and he saw Princess Eligela smile at him, and then said something to him with her lips. Dan En didn't understand that sentence, but he felt that he vaguely knew what it meant, but he couldn't remember what it was. Just as Dann was about to ask, Princess Eligela suddenly closed the door in horror.

This sudden change made Dann a little uneasy, and the panic in Ilegela's eyes was instantaneous, she must have seen something. Dann turned his head, but there was nothing. His vision suddenly became pitch black, and Dan En couldn't see anything, and then he heard a hoarse voice in his ear: "Abaddon...... Abaddon ......"

Danen wanted to take off the mask, but found that his hands were a little disobedient to him, and he couldn't take off the mask. He remembered that Eligaira's lips meant the 'Abaddon,' the voice that had tormented him for more than ten years.

When the hoarse voice sounded, Dann froze, and he could clearly hear that the voice was coming from Eligaira's room. With great difficulty, he took off his mask, and Dan En gasped for air, the feeling of suffocation terrified him.

Why does the sound come from Eligaira's room? The reason why Prince Opal did not stop her, but stared at the door in a daze, did it mean that he had noticed the difference in Ilegella?

No, it won't, Eligera won't. Dan En thought about it, and finally denied all the strange ideas he had just had. Even if the sound came from Eligaira's room, it didn't mean nothing.

Perhaps they were able to see all of this because they were in danger, or Ilegela to be precise. Thinking of this, Dann could no longer sleep, and he returned to his place of sleep, his eyes looking at the bright stars in the sky, and his mind was full of Elegela's frightened look.

At this time, Dann hated himself for being really useless, whether it was Old Bull or Eligela, he had no way to save them. Dann thought that if he was like the boy in the storybook and could do advanced magic, then he could protect the people around him from any harm. But the truth really dismayed him, except for a few small spells, he would only master them when he was in danger.

The moment before dawn is always cold. Dan En wrapped up his thin clothes tightly and looked at the sky. Suddenly, he felt the grass move in the darkness, and he immediately became alert. Not only that place, but soon the grass around them moved, not good, there was an ambush.

After Dann screamed, all the people woke up, and the moment they opened their eyes, all the black shadows poured out, not giving them any chance to react. This time it was not the beasts that attacked them, nor the beast army, but the claws of the devils who lived in the woods.

These claws reside at the roots of trees and can stretch for long periods of time, and all creatures that pass through them end up dying. The claws were like eyes, and they wrapped around the legs of the soldiers trying to escape, hanging them high.

Simon and Dann were back to back, sword in hand, and slashed the claws that came at them. But they cut off one side and the other side came again, and they cut off the other side, and the other side came again. The devil's claws were like weeds that kept chopping down, and eventually all of them were hoisted.

Thankfully, they weren't hurt much, maybe the devil's claws hadn't figured out what to do with them. The devil's claws simply hoisted them high in the air, making sure that no one escaped, and then went into hiding. Gradually, the sun rose, and they were hanging, not knowing what awaited them.

"Simon, what do you think they'll do to us?" Dann asked softly, because it was so quiet that he had to find something to say.

Simon looked at everything around him contemplatively, and when he heard Dan En ask, he couldn't help frowning: "We don't sit idly by, no matter what kind of punishment they want to give us, I won't accept it." Simon said firmly, looking his eyes from top to bottom. The swords were at their feet, and their feet were about three feet above the ground.

At this time, Simon saw Dan En wink at him, and then saw Dan En jump lightly, and the claws on his body were instantly broken.

"How did you do that?" Simon looked around cautiously and asked, Dann really tasted the surprise that brought him.

"Shhhh In fact, where can I make it clear, Danen's hands have actually been untied a long time ago, but he thinks that those claws may reappear before dawn, so he waited until the sun rises.

Dann picked up his sword from the ground and severed Simon's claws, before the two of them went to rescue the others. As they try to free the others, Simon and Dann learn why the claws don't just kill them, but hang them up.

The moment Simon hit the ground, he felt the earth shake, not an earthquake, but a rhythmic vibration of some heavy force hitting the ground. Dan En also felt it, and his body began to shake as the earth shook. The body of the person hanging from the tree is constantly rising and falling.

Dan En raised his head, and he saw several giants with mountains not far away, walking towards them. Last night's claws were nothing more than a tool for these giants to catch gifts, and they were the real hunters.
