1:429 Dogfight on the Night of the Festival (3)
1:429 Melee on the Night of the Festival (3)
At the same time, Paffer was lurking on the outskirts of the city. He watched from afar at the demonic beasts that were digging holes in the ground outside the city and half lurking in the ground, but there was nothing he could do. He could only crawl laterally, trying to get around the monsters to the other side of the city and find an opportunity to enter the city, hoping to notify the city guards in time to prevent the massacre.
The castle is brightly lit, and the [Yue New Year Festival] is at its climax, and the army of demonic beasts will surely attack the city when the festival is nearing its end and the guards are the most negligent in their defense. The festival ends before 12 p.m., which means that Pavor doesn't have much time left!
Just as he was crawling along with his suppressed and impatient mood, a demonic beast discovered him.
The huge wolf crawled out of the pit and turned to look over at the herbalist Paffer.
Like a ** frightened, he hurriedly lay still on the ground and did not move!
Convinced that he had discovered the location of the Elephant Herbalist, the beast slowly walked towards Papho. They were only fifty yards away!
Thirty yards! The monster came closer, with no intention of retreating. In the darkness of the night, the monster's night vision was at its best, and it saw the vague shadow twenty yards away moving slightly undulating, it was actually Paver's breath.
The breath has been suppressed to the extreme, but the elephant man still needs to breathe, especially in this extremely tense environment, it is almost impossible to completely hold his breath!
Twenty yards! The monster was getting closer and closer, and if it went on like this, the monster was more and more sure that there was a man hiding there, and it was clawing outstretched, ready to strike at any moment of deadly action!
No! Pavor secretly reached for the weapon at his waist. He knew that provoking a demonic beast was equivalent to fighting to the death with the more than a thousand demonic beasts present, that is, killing himself - but he had no choice now, he should not fight, and he would also die after the demonic beast pounced!
The Monster took another step forward. The Elephant Man clenched his weapon, waiting for the monster to take the next step before he struck.
But a hand grabbed Pavver's ankle and pulled him down!
"Roar!" Seeing that the target suddenly made a big move, the monster came to preemptively pounce on Pavul!
But it flew into the air, and the Elephant Herbalist had long since disappeared without a trace, as if it had disappeared out of thin air!
Pavor felt a moment of weightlessness, and his body fell a few feet, landing on the ground with a muffled thud!
The elephant man quickly got up and looked around: he was suddenly in a small room with a brightly lit room stacked with countless goods.
The elephant man looked at the stranger who had just pulled him with a stomach full of doubt. He knew him.
In front of Pavor was a traveling merchant dressed in a black cloak and gray coarse cloth. The white rabbit man had a scar on his ear, and he looked like a teenager, but he had a weathered expression.
Ryder the Rabbit often traveled back and forth from the Elephant Clan's territory, bringing food to the Everglades in exchange for the Elephant People's potions. Like people, there is hardly anyone who does not know Ryder.
Pavor was also familiar with Ryder's scent, though it was also the first time he had seen Ryder's face. The traveling merchant always wore a large hat with a broad brim, always half-covering his face, and the tall elephants had never seen Ryder as he was.
I didn't know that Ryder was just a teenager.
Now is not the time to be surprised. Paver suppressed his surprise and doubt, and asked in a low voice, "Why are you here, Traveling Merchant?" "I want to ask you the same question!" Ryder looked a little annoyed, "What are you trying to do in this kind of wilderness?!
Instantly realizing that there was someone else in the room, Pavor turned his eyes to look. In a small room full of food and goods, there was also an old human man. The old man leaned between the two large wooden boxes, sat cross-legged, and from time to time picked up the wine bottle in his hand and poured it into his mouth, drunk and completely half-asleep.
"He's??" Paver had a long list of questions, but he habitually condensed them into two short sentences.
"This is the subspace that my [The Lord of the Rings - Andward Lalot] has created. You're lucky, grandpa wants me to save you. Ryder explained.
About two months ago, Ryder, who had escaped from the prison of the Southern Knights, jumped out of his window into the icy river. He was swept downstream by the torrent of the river, covered in bruises, and when he was dying, it was this old man who passed by and saved the rabbit boy.
No, not so much passing by, but deliberately waiting there. The old man seems to have the ability to see the future, and can see through everything.
Ryder, a young rabbit man, doesn't like the old human man, who gets drunk all day, but Rabbit admires the old man who knows almost everything.
Until Ryder returned to the Shadows in search of an ancient artifact that had been handed down by his people, the old man had been doing Ryder a favor. Relying on the old man's prophecy, Ryder easily found the ring in the wilderness of the Gelbarian Mountains.
Pavor subconsciously stared at the ring on Ryder's hand. He knew the ring. It is one of the legendary artifacts left by the ancients, along with the Skidpurani Ark, the Meteor Gun Gengunir, and the Golem of Fenrir, and it is said that inside the ring is a subspace full of gold and silver treasures, containing thousands of tons of Nibelungen gold.
Now, far from the legend, this sixty-square-foot subspace is full of stocks of food, water, medicine, and more. Valuables are not visible at all. What kind of place does the rabbit think this is?!
"Sit down. Ryder dragged over a cushion so that Pavor didn't have to sit on the floor, "We'll find a way to stop the Monsters from attacking, but not now." We still need to find a treasure. Paffer sat down and took the dry food and water bag that the rabbit handed him: "Treasure?" "I'm about to find it, wait patiently for a while." Ryder sat down as well, picked up the water bag and took a sip of water. They seem to have been waiting here for quite some time.
Paffer didn't know how [The Temporal Ring-Anderval Lalot] worked, but he knew that the artifact had created a subspace that must have some connection to the outside world - an [anchor] - allowing the user to open the exit to the subspace from the anchor point without being trapped in the subspace forever.
So, the elephant man asked, "What's going on outside?" "Want to know?" Ryder smiled, "I can open a small hole for you to observe, but you have to be quiet and silent, okay?"
Ryder walked around the room and turned out all the lights in the room, leaving only a small oil lamp. After doing his job of concealment, he tapped the ring on the ring finger of his right hand, and as the ring shimmered with gold, he drew a fist-sized circle in the air with his hand.
Papho saw a small hole open out of thin air in mid-air, the entrance of the hole was black at first, and gradually a landscape appeared, which was the scenery of the outskirts of Athens where Papho was just now.
The rabbit blows out the oil lamp in his hand, and the elephant signs a man observing the outside world from a small hole.
Papho looked out and saw that the army of monsters lurking outside the city was still quiet, and the monster that attacked Pavo just now saw that it was empty, and ran back honestly to continue to lurk, but the city of Athens was bustling, the fire was soaring, and it was very noisy, as if some kind of special ritual was being carried out.
"Huh?" Pavour snorted subconsciously.
