Chapter 2 Departure
Although the outside of the house looks a little dilapidated, the inside is still clean, and there is an oil painting depicting the sunrise scene hanging in the entrance, the brushstrokes are delicate and gentle, and the artistic conception is lofty, depicting the revival and vitality of everything at sunrise, so that Ron can't help but stop and admire.
When Pierce saw that Ron was looking at the painting, he also leaned in and said, "Well, this painting is beautiful, my father painted it, and it was because of this painting that he and my mother finally came together." As he spoke, Pierce pointed to one of the paintings. There was the back of a woman in a pale yellow dress, she held the straw hat on her head with one hand, and made a look at it with the other, if you don't look closely, you will definitely think that this woman is a flower among these ten thousand flowers.
The painter uses such an ingenious technique to hide the characters in it, which makes the whole painting more integral, and also casts a faint sense of mystery on the painting itself, which shows that the painting skills and ideas are unbridled and extraordinary.
Ron looked at the back of the woman in the painting, and always felt an inexplicable sense of familiarity, but unfortunately, this is just a painting, not to mention that even the author can't be found now.
After passing through the entrance, the hall inside is very spacious, very simple furnishings, and a quaint long table is placed on the right side.
"Pierce is back, how's it going, is there a catch today?"
"I must have returned empty-handed again, but fortunately I was clever enough to follow Uncle Dalton Hunter today to get two pheasants, otherwise I would have to drink the northwest wind today. ”
A pair of sweet-looking twin girls walked out of the inner room one by one, and when they saw Ron and Liya, they were also slightly stunned, as if they didn't expect that there would be guests.
"Ahem...... Pierce coughed lightly twice, and then introduced, "These two are members of our guild, sister Emily and sister Elenor. Come and meet our distinguished guests, this is Mr. Ron, and this is Miss Leah. ”
The twin girls trotted up immediately after a brief distraction, looking Ron and Ria up and down. Seeing that the two of them were dressed extremely extraordinary, the robes on the two of them alone were not ordinary things at first glance, at least they had to be at the level of high-grade robes. It's not something you can buy with money. In the barren land of the southern frontier of the Holy Gal Continent, even if it is the highest level of auction, it is rare to have such a high-level robe for sale. The people who can wear such a robe are not the relatives of the emperor, so it is not much worse.
"Wow, Sister Liya, you're so beautiful!"
"Brother Ron, you're so handsome!"
The two girls surrounded Ron and the others at once, chattering non-stop. If Pierce hadn't pulled the two apart, it would have been impossible for Ron and them to get down to business.
After sending the two of them off to buy ingredients for dinner, Ron and Leah went to a small room and sat down.
The smile on Piers's face at this time also retracted, and said: "Two respected guests, don't hide it from the two, our guild does have some problems, and now we are a third-rate guild I'm afraid it's also to promote us, at present, the people who can fight in our guild, counting the twin sisters, there are a total of 11 people, 8 of whom have participated in the mission and have not returned, that is to say, only the three of us participated in this mission, and I want to declare this to the two of you in advance." But don't worry, since I have the confidence to take on this task, I am naturally completely sure, after all, I don't joke with my life, do I? ”
Ron smiled noncommittally as Pierce continued.
Pierce walked over to a bookcase, pulled open the first drawer, and pulled out a thick pile of yellowed paper and a thick book.
The cover of the book was blurred, and the edges of the pages were very rough, which was clearly the result of the book being turned over so often. Wenxin School
Pierce spread out the paper and said, "Mr. Ron, look, the Grove of Sighs is located at the edge of the core of the Great Takla Forest, just right on the border of the center. Here, here, and here, there are three paths that lead there. ”
If you look in the direction of Piers's finger, you can see three paths on the map. There are also a lot of detailed marks on the edge of the path, and even what magical beasts are around and how to deal with them are written in great detail, and it is obvious that this is definitely the result of countless surveys.
It is no wonder that this Pierce had the confidence to say that if he was the second to know the Forest of Sighs, no one would dare to say the first sentence.
Pierce took the pen and quickly drew it on the map and said: "According to my statistics and observations over the years, these three roads seem to be very safe, but in fact, none of them are safe. ”
With a stroke of his brush, Pierce drew red circles in three locations along the three paths, "This is the habitat of the Evil-Eyed Horned Deer. Although this kind of monster is very gentle and will not actively attack humans under normal circumstances, it is not, they hate the breath of thyme. Anyone who enters the forest will use the medicine of thyme as an insect repellent to sprinkle on the body to avoid the bite of those poisonous insects, and this makes this road full of dangers, once these horned deer are angry, it is equivalent to a group of intermediate magicians to attack you, if the strength is lower, there is absolutely no return. ”
Pierce went on to list the safety risks of two other seemingly safe routes.
Ron listens to it and realizes that the threat of the so-called Horned Deer is the most rudimentary of the three so-called safe routes, as the other two are really likely to die.
One of the roads will pass through a canyon area, where a large number of gale wind snakes inhabit, they are almost dormant on weekdays, but once a large number of unfamiliar breaths enter, these wind snakes will become extremely irritable, they can use intermediate or above wind element magic, and their leader has a strength close to the level of a grandmaster, some powerful demonic beasts in the forest, do not dare to deliberately provoke these terrible wind snakes. Such a terrifying existence, even if there is a team with a strong sect craftsman level in charge, I am afraid it is not so easy to pass.
Seeing Ron's frowns, Pierce felt as if he had achieved his goal, and continued: "This is a mountain range in the Takla Desert, called the Comet Mountains, which is said to have been smashed down by an extraterrestrial meteorite, and finally the ground fluctuated due to the huge force, exposing the part below the ground. And the ground pressed against each other, which formed the comet mountain range today. But none of this mattered, as we had carved a hole in the middle of the Comet Mountains, which ran directly through the Comet Mountains, and as long as we walked through this cave, we had to walk less than 5 kilometers further to reach the Sigh Grove. ”
Ron's eyes narrowed slightly as he looked at the markings on the map. He clearly saw the length of the cave, close to five kilometers long, if it was excavated manually, it would not take three or five years to dig through, I am afraid it would really not be able to dig through. After all, digging this kind of cave is much more difficult than ordinary cultivation. First, it is necessary to fix the rock above the head to avoid landslides, and secondly, it is necessary to constantly transport rock garbage out during the excavation process.
Ron wasn't stupid either, and he couldn't see what Pierce was thinking. Isn't it just to spend energy building tunnels so that you can go to the Forest of Sighs, see what it is, and see if your father died in the Forest of Sighs.
