Chapter Two Forest
After listening to the words of the city lord, the young lady looked at the blackened vegetables and fruits in his hand and said: "These vegetables and fruits are not poisonous, but the nutrients in them are destroyed, and there is no big problem in the short term, but in the long run, it will cause serious nutritional deficiencies." Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info listened to your description, and the cave next to the ruins of the temple may be the culprit for the current situation. ”
Guviyi on the side showed a very strange expression: "In addition to forests and forests in this area, even if there is a lake, the temperature will definitely not drop below freezing, not to mention ice creatures. Ice organisms are very demanding species, and a slight climate change can lead to their extinction. Almost all of the current ice monsters are in the frozen mountains of the Demon Realm, and it is extremely difficult for the ice and snow to melt in that area because of the terrain, but here it is warm like spring all year round, and the ice monsters cannot survive at all. ”
Guvii pulled out an ancient map detailing the landscape of the surrounding forests. It is a huge forest area, and the small city is like a fallen leaf floating in the great waves of the forest, and the ruins of the temple are in the depths of the forest. There is an arch marker on the map that represents the temple, which looks like an entrance into the belly of the green forest monster. Strangely enough, the location of Pakvia City on the map varies considerably, and if you look closely, you will see that there are several small villages scattered in the forest, but in reality there are no people living there, let alone small villages.
High Priest Vic prepares to go to the cave with the young lady and her party, because it is easy to get lost in the forest, and it is difficult to find the ruins of the humble temple without the guidance of the locals. Vic was very curious about the unknown ice creature in the cave, and he didn't dare to explore rashly when he was alone, but now that there are three more people by his side, he instantly has a lot of confidence. Besides, he felt that it was always reassuring to have more healing spells in the team, so he hoped that Miss would definitely take him with him. In the end, even the lord of the castle spoke for him, and the young lady finally agreed to Vic to follow, but she couldn't control any danger.
Everyone had made enough preparations to set off, planning to leave early tomorrow morning for the ruins of the temple.
The green forest may seem calm, but in fact it hides murderous intentions. Preparing for mosquitoes was the most important step before entering the forest, and out of nowhere, Xiutru got a large handful of insect repellent herbs and squeezed out juice to apply to his body, and the pungent smell made him cough. Seeing this, the young lady took out the magic guide book and quickly read something, only to see four balls of light fly out of her fingertips, and after flying around everyone a few times, they disappeared.
"Okay, now you don't have to worry about mosquitoes approaching." The young lady walked forward on her own, leaving Xiutru standing still and looking at her.
Vic, who was originally walking in the front to lead the way, saw the magic guide book in the young lady's hand, and a surprised expression flashed on his face. "Hehe, I didn't think Miss Victoria was still a high-level magician at such a young age."
"I don't dare to be it, I don't dare to be it, it's all taught by my uncle well."
Mademoiselle modestly gave the credit to her uncle, and immediately sent a message to Ghuviy and Shutru to bring them to the attention of the high priest. Although she had restrained the magic value of her insect repellent technique, she was able to see through her high-level magician abilities at a glance, and this high priest was not ordinary. In such a remote town, having a high priest with the ability to be a high-level magician or above is definitely a big event that is enough to cause a sensation in the whole city, but there is no trace of wind and grass in her ears, who is this Vic?
After the first round of temptations failed, Vic continued to walk forward, while the young lady and the others behind him had their own agendas. Xiutru, who saw such a large forest for the first time, was speechless by the green giant beast in front of him, and there were colorful little mushrooms growing under the tangled giant trees, one by one, one by one, he just squatted down and wanted to pick a red mushroom to show the young lady, but he didn't expect the little mushroom to put away the umbrella and fled quickly!
A small mushroom instantly alarmed the entire mushroom group, and the mushrooms of different colors moved collectively, all jumping away in the opposite direction to them, leaving only Xiutru still in the posture of picking mushrooms and looking up at the helpless young lady who turned around. Vic burst out laughing at his embarrassment.
"Hahaha my boy, you're in the forest for the first time, right?"
"Hmm......" Xiutru stood up and touched his hair: "I've never been into the Demon Forest, and it's the first time I've seen this mushroom ......"
"Where are you from?" Vic pointed upwards, and then continued on his way, saying as he went:
"I also went to the divine realm once when I was a child, when my brother was just full moon, and my father had a good relationship with several archangels because of his profession, so he took my brother to receive the blessing of the high priest."
"Your father is also a priest?"
"No, he's just a high-level weaponsmith who makes scepters for sacrifices."
"Your father must be proud to have a son like you......" said Shutru with some distraction.
Vic smiled wryly and shook his head, looking into the distance with a deep gaze.
"My father wanted me to inherit the family business and become a blacksmith, but he always felt that the profession of sacrifice had no future and could not make money, and it was far from being a forger." Vic sighed and continued, "So I have to work harder than everyone else to get my father to approve of me. ”
"Then why did you return to the small city of Pakvia? With your ability, you can find a decent job in the Imperial City. ”
Vic didn't answer, just smiled and walked on.
"Be careful not to touch the vine hanging down from that tree, it is a tentacle with a thousand hands, and if you touch it, it will be swept away immediately."
"Don't chase the rabbit, because you don't know if it's a man-eating pig rabbit's hallucinatory disguise. They are best at getting a white rabbit to act as a decoy, disguised as a pure and harmless rabbit to attract prey, and then a large swarm can tear an adult man to shreds in a second. ”
"It's a man-eating flower, and if you still want your arm, you'd better not pick it."
"No, no, no, don't poke that hornet's nest! That's a hornet's nest! Ouch, hey, my dear Lord Victoria...... You...... Can you convince him not to move...... I'm so tired......"
The young lady watched with interest as Vic followed the Xiutru group, without intervening to stop it, or say anything. She had cast a levitation spell on her magic book from the middle point, and sat on the book all the way and watched Xiutru sweat profusely.
"Guviy, how much longer?"
"We've only walked about a third of the way, and at our current pace, we can reach it about this evening."
"I ...... I can't walk anymore......" Xiutru sat on the ground with his butt on the trunk of the tree next to him.
"Then let's rest for a while. Vic, when were the temple ruins discovered? ”
Vic sat down in a place with fewer fallen leaves, took a few sips from the kettle, and began to tell the history of the temple.
