Chapter 12: The Ghost Strikes the Wall
"You're in luck," the minotaur patted the half-elf on the shoulder, "and it's not every day that a lost book can run back." Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info”
"Captain!" Olipas' voice became hoarse, "Do you think that this book will appear in front of us for no reason, and that it will not be able to run over on its own legs?" ”
"It's hard to say, maybe it gets along with you day and night, and has a deep affection for you, and after you accidentally throw it away, it has wings and flies in front of you to wait for you."
"Why, why can't you think of it?" The half-elf shouted angrily, "Of course a book can't walk on its own, and the only explanation is that we have made a big circle around this wasteland and returned to the place where I lost it." ”
"You're thinking too much." His Excellency replied disdainfully, "If you walk alone, you might really get lost in the wasteland." But what you are following now is a noble, brave and wise Minotaur, and you don't have to think about going down the wrong path in this life. ”
"So, Captain, are you really sure we're heading in the direction of the coast now?" The half-elf asked pitifully, "Then you tell me, now East."
In what direction are the north, south, and north? ”
"The Sprinkle family was born to judge the south, south, and west, but now I point it out to you, you can't tell the difference, it's the same everywhere here."
"Well, Captain, even if you can see the way, but these days you don't lead the way at all, you let the camels walk on their own, what if they get lost?"
"You half-elf with no common sense, camels are animals that can recognize the way, just let them walk on their own, what are you afraid of?"
"Of course I know that camels can find their way, but that's just in general." Olipas said worriedly, "You see what is written in this book "Ghost Hitting the Wall", those creatures that disappeared in the mysterious area have lost their natural sense of direction, otherwise how could they get lost? ”
"Then why do you say that we are entering a mysterious area?"
"Animals can recognize the way, nothing more than relying on sensitive sense, and good vision can determine the direction according to the position of the sun and constellations; A good sense of smell can smell the water source dozens of miles and hundreds of miles away; Good tactile sense can distinguish wind direction and temperature difference; There is also a more clever way to locate the north and south with the help of the magnetic field......" The half-elf said in one breath, "but you see in this area, the camels' sensory abilities have all decreased, how many ways do they have to find the right path?" Even if they can still see, hear and smell, it is useless, the sun and stars cannot be seen on the whole cloudy day, the flat ground has neither traces of the riverbed and vegetation, nor the steady wind direction and the drop of the mountains, and they are not insects and migratory birds, and they do not understand the method of magnetic field location at all. ”
"Yiyi, it seems that you know a lot about wayfinding, huh?"
"Captain, as a half-elf, I'm certainly far better at finding direction than humans." The half-elf said with a sad face, "Actually, half of my elven bloodline also gave me a faint magnetic field sensing ability, but when I arrived in this gray and sloppy place, that vague magnetic sense also disappeared completely." ”
"Hahahaha, no wonder you're so panicked now." The Minotaur laughed.
"Even if you minotaurs are known for being good at recognizing directions, there are only a few ways to find directions," the half-elf replied unconvinced, "Do you have no sense of finding your way, or do you have a more clever way?" You've got to prove it before I can believe you're not lost. ”
"Speaking of which, the Sprinkle family doesn't know what to do." His Excellency the Duke laughed and said, "I know the way in two words: intuition. ”
“…… Just intuition, how can I trust you? ”
"You don't need to believe it." The minotaur hugged the totem and stretched out his big thick hand to gently caress the moo, "The ancestors also told me that I am on the right track." ”
The totem pole glowed a bright red light at first, then faded after a few days. Now it looks like a slightly gray white column, with a circle of carved patterns on the cylinder surface, the lines are clumsy, and the forms are complex, as if it contains all kinds of profound meanings.
The half-elf was still unconvinced, "Captain, since you believe that we are not going around in circles, let's use the facts to illustrate,"
He threw the copy of "Ghost Hitting the Wall" out of the car again, "Two days later, let's see if we can touch it again?" ”
"Alas, Yiyi, you are too careful," the minotaur shook his head, "There are many things that don't need to be overly probed, and when you understand it, you will find that it is actually very simple." Maybe there were travelers walking in front of us, and there happened to be a guy who also liked to read "Ghost Hitting the Wall", and he happened to see page forty-seven made a mark, and then he accidentally fell asleep, and the book fell to the ground. ”
"Can you fall asleep watching ghost stories? Captain, you're so talented, you think this thing is used for hypnosis! ”
Two days later, the half-elves on the camel cart had been fidgeting, occasionally glancing at the road ahead.
"Yiyi, what are you anxious about," the minotaur yawned, "do you regret that you haven't finished that book yet, and you especially want to pick it up and read it again?" ”
"Captain, I hope I never touch it again in my life." The half-elf frowned, "You should know that if we see that book again, it means that we really ran into the ghost wall, and we have been circling this wasteland all along." ”
"It's not so much that we run into ghosts hitting the wall while walking, but that you run into ghosts hitting the wall in your heart." Clark patted the totem pole, "The heart is born, all kinds of demons; The heart is destroyed, and all kinds of demons are destroyed. If you are scared, you will naturally be suspicious of everything, and nothing can scare you out of the matter. ”
"The heart is born, all kinds of demons are born; The heart is destroyed, and all kinds of demons are destroyed. Olipas muttered twice, "Captain, I can't believe you could say such philosophical things. ”
"These are the words of emotion when an archmage travels far to study and encounters difficulties and obstacles." The minotaur said, "It's a long journey, the most important thing is to avoid being discouraged in advance, what kind of climate can a guy like you who is afraid of the past and the back and look left and right?" ”
"Captain, don't you speak more and more elegantly, it's not in line with your Minotaur identity." The half-elf shook his spirit and took out the anti-dragon shield in the carriage, "I, Oripas, have never known what fear is, now I have a bull's head on my left, a horse on my right, a flying knife on my waist, and an Aegis on my chest, people block killing, and ghosts block killing ghosts......"
"Shut up! Don't put me and Xiangrui together! ”
The Bloodline, Prince, and Horse next to the car snorted dissatisfied.
"What do you have to do with that little duke, a noble prince? When his words are some kind of gas coming out of his stomach, "the half-elf who hurriedly got out of the car came to comfort the beloved horse, "Wait, how is it that my feet are a piece higher, what is this stepping on?" ”
"People say that if you run into Xiangrui, you will bump into shit luck when you go out," the minotaur shouted in the car, "Congratulations, you must have stepped on dog shit." ”
"Where do wild dogs come from where such birds don't lay eggs?" The half-elf retorted unconvinced, but couldn't help but pray secretly, "Don't step on dog shit, don't step on dog shit, otherwise it's bad luck that you can't get rid of for a lifetime." ”
He leaned over and picked up a book, the words on the cover still clear in the dim light.
