Volume II: The Gran Forest 113 . Forgotten Luxie and the monsters riot
"Forrest Gump? ...”
Xiu Zhe sniffled and said, "My master who has truly performed the rite of master and apprentice, Lu Xi. Let's drink porridge. ”
As he spoke, Xiu Zhe handed over the spoon and barely smiled.
"Luxi? Who's that? ”
Xiu Zhe's smile froze, put the spoon back into the bowl and was silent, and only after a while did he ask, "You have amnesia?" ”
Yong Shili touched her forehead, a pair of silver-blue willow eyebrows frowned, and said uncertainly: "I don't know, but I don't seem to have this character named Luxi in my impression." ”
"That's amnesia, come, drink this bowl of porridge, I'll go find the dark elves and let them figure out a way to see if they can restore your memory with magic." Xiu Zhe scooped a spoonful of porridge, blew it, fed Yong Shili and drank it.
Yong Shili can actually drink it by herself, but she didn't do that, she enjoyed Xiu Zhe's meticulous care, so she simply pretended to be sick.
After feeding Yong Shili and drinking the bowl of porridge, Xiu Zhe came to the room where Xi Lan was and knocked lightly on the door.
"Come in."
Xiu Zhe pushed the door and went in to see Xi Lan who was dressing.
"How is Yong Shili recovering? If there is no major problem, I will leave for Xuzu today, and I will give you a ride by the way. Xi Lan hung the knife around her waist and fiddled with her hair in the mirror.
"It's not good, she seems to have lost her memory." Xiu Zhe said softly.
"Amnesia? What's going on? Those dark elves can say that Yong Shili has no problems, especially in terms of nerves and memory. Xilan turned around and asked.
"I don't know, but she can't remember my master, Luxi." Xiu Zhe turned his head and sighed, he didn't even have the courage to say the word Luxi now, and his heart ached faintly every time he said it.
Xi Lan asked with some confusion, "Who is that?" ”
Xiu Zhe raised his head sharply and looked at Xi Lan in shock, the expression on Xi Lan's face didn't look like a joke, and besides, he couldn't make fun of Lu Xi.
"O Luxi! My Master! A female berserker who taught me all the skills! Xiu Zhe walked quickly to Xi Lan, staring at Xi Lan with a dead gaze, patting his chest and shouting.
"Please... Don't forget me..."A female voice sounded from Xilan's heart.
Xi Lan screamed, covered her headache and head back, took a few steps back, stumbled on the chair, Xiu Zhe saw Xi Lan's reaction like this, and was so frightened that Ling hurriedly came to him and asked, "What's wrong with you?" ”
Xi Lan rubbed her temples with one hand and waved her with the other, "I'm fine, but I really can't remember the person you said." ”
The corners of Xiu Zhe's eyes jumped, as if he thought of something, and hurriedly asked, "What about Forrest Gump?" ”
"He's gone, here's his letter to you." Xi Lan picked up an envelope from the table, handed it to Xiu Zhe, and continued: "If there is nothing else, we will leave in the afternoon to send you and Yong Shili back to Hutton Marr." ”
Xiu Zhe took the envelope and unfolded the letter.
"Xiu Zhe, when you read this letter, I was no longer in the Dark Elf Kingdom."
"You are a very smart and powerful child who far surpasses your peers, and I believe that your Tao will go further than a guy like me who can't protect anything."
"You call me the second master, and I also treat you as a real disciple to cultivate, when you return to Huttonmar, remember to go to the Moonlight Tavern and find the woman named Sosia there, she will give you some things, which will help you in the future."
"Don't look for me, it's useless to be a teacher, even the person you want to protect the most can't protect it, but I still have what I should do."
"Don't read it."
Tears flowed from Xiu Zhe's eyes again, Forrest Gump remembered! Forrest Gump Zuo must remember Luxi!
Putting the envelope into the storage bag, Xiu Zhe wiped away his tears and said to Xi Lan: "Brother Xi Lan, let's leave for Hutton Marr in the afternoon." ”
Xi Lan nodded, rubbed her aching temples, and reluctantly pulled a smile on her face, "You and Yong Shili clean up, and we'll go on the road after lunch." ”
Xiu Zhe withdrew from Xilan's room, returned to Yong Shili's side, and sat down with a heavy heart.
"You... You okay? Yong Shili asked with concern, Xiu Zhe's face was gloomy and terrifying, and the pair of sword eyebrows had already been screwed together.
Shaking his head slightly, Xiu Zhe said softly: "After lunch, let's leave for Huttonmarr, I want to go home and have a look." ”
"I'm with you, I don't want to go back to the palace anyway, just know that Sister Skadi and Uncle Ning Yingyi are all right."
Regarding Yong Shili's idea of continuing to walk with him, Xiu Zhe did not refuse, and returned Yong Shili's sword to its original owner, and after the two took turns washing, lunch was also sent by the dark elf guard.
The delicious lunch made Yong Shili appetite, but because of Xilan's presence, she was embarrassed to eat nonsense without a lady's image, and Haisai could only eat the meal in small bites.
And Xiu Zhe and Xi Lan were also thinking about their own affairs, and no one spoke, and the atmosphere in the huge castle seemed a little dull.
After lunch, the three of them had nothing to pack, and after bidding farewell to Queen Maya, they hurried back to Huttonmar, the capital of the Duchy of Belmar.
During the two-day journey, the three of them rarely communicated, although Yong Shili was a little confused and worried about Xiu Zhe's state, but Xiu Zhe didn't say it, she couldn't open her mouth to ask.
After the carriage passed through the border between the Duchy and the Dark Elf Kingdom, the Elwin Line, the dark aura that shrouded the three of them seemed to fade a lot, but as soon as they entered the territory of the Duchy, everyone felt that something was wrong.
The small villages on the edge of the Elwyn Line were all destroyed, and the corpses of humans were strewn all over the field, and countless crows were gnawing on the corpses.
No one could explain what was going on here, and Xilan instructed the groom to pause for a while and investigate what was going on with Xiu Zhe Yong Shili.
There was not a single case in the small village of more than 100 people, from septuagenarians to three-year-old children, all of whom were killed by blunt objects or sharp weapons, and the death even made Xiu Zhe feel a little sick to his stomach, and Yong Shili did not dare to look at the corpses of these villagers.
"Did the robbers come and ransack the village?" A trace of anger flashed in Yong Shili's beautiful eyes, if this was really done by robbers, the people who killed the villagers were too bloody and brutal!
"The robbers wouldn't have the guts to do that, besides, this is the border with the Dark Elf Kingdom, but have any of you ever seen the garrison?" Xi Lan looked at the house that had obviously been cut down by a weapon such as a giant axe, and spoke.
There is nothing wrong with Xilan's analysis, there are very few bandit groups in the territory of the Duchy of Belmar, and most of them are in rebellion on the border, although the national strength is not very strong, but the security of the Duchy is beyond the reach of a large country like Delos.
And there is no bandit group that dares to attack the village in broad daylight, let alone kill all the villagers.
"Let's go, we won't get any answers here, maybe we'll find out what's going on here when we get to Huttonmar." Xi Lan withdrew the hand that was resting on the neck of a male corpse, and returned to the carriage with Xiu Zhe and Yong Shili again.
Wave after wave, Xiu Zhe's nerves felt a little tired, and at the same time, an extremely unreasonable thought appeared in his heart.
What if these villagers were killed by the monsters of Loland and the Gran Forest?
This idea also appeared in the minds of Yong Shili and Xi Lan, after all, the probability of robbers ransacking the village was lower than the two forest monsters rushing out of the forest to attack humans.
The carriage finally arrived at Huttonmar after a day's journey, and along the way countless villages were attacked, corpses were everywhere, but not half of the Duchy's army was in sight, and the dark clouds added to the desolation of the situation.
When Xiu Zhe saw the countless ruins of Hutton Mar, his heart sank to the bottom, the white houses that once rowed up as a symbol of peace had been destroyed, and the prosperity on the streets was long gone, and now there were only ugly survivors and a small army carrying corpses.
Xiu Zhe and the three got out of the carriage, and Xi Lan came to a male survivor who was leaning against the wall and munching on hard bread and asked softly, "What happened here?" ”
The survivor's already pale face became even more reluctant to tell what was going on here.
Xiu Zhe came to him, and the ghost hand was on his shoulder, and Pu Ermeng's soul purification ability was activated to dispel the fear in his heart.
"Monster! The monsters of the Gran Forest, led by Sauta, attacked humanity frantically, killing all the way from the Elwyn Line to Huttonmar, where nearly half of the land was occupied by monsters, and the end of the world... The end has finally come! ”
In the end, the man actually hid his face and cried bitterly, Xilan saw the photo of him pinching between his thumb and index finger, it was a family portrait of a family of three, the man in the photo was the man in front of him who was almost nervous about collapse, and now he was left alone to eat bread, it seemed that his wife and children had died at the hands of the monster.
Xiu Zhe's eyes widened, and a cold feeling rushed from his feet to his head, this man just said that nearly half of the land of Huttonmar is occupied by monsters, and his mother's residence is the edge of Huttonmar!
Yong Shili naturally knew where Xiu Xiangxue lived, and when she saw Xiu Zhe's expression, she hurriedly comforted: "Don't get excited, the area where my aunt is located is specially taken care of by the army and Dean Shalan." ”
Xilan's face was extremely gloomy, if Sharan was really in Hutton Marsauta, how could she possibly kill her?
"I'm going to go home and see.." Xiu Zhe muttered, and in an instant, his body moved, and under the wrapping of the golden dragon head, he hurried towards the location of his home in his memory.
Yong Shili didn't say a word and kept up with Xiu Zhe, but Xi Lan was about to leave to go back to his house with Xiu Zhe when he was stopped by a man.
"Your Excellency is a Void Ancestor, right?"
Xi Lan followed the sound and saw a tall and burly man in steel armor walking towards him.
Xi Lan's outfit did not look like that of the Principality of Belmar, although he was a little puzzled, Xi Lan still nodded and said, "I am, what's wrong?" ”
"Queen Skadi issued an order yesterday at the request of the King of the Void Fatherland, all citizens of the Void Motherland who stayed in the Duchy should immediately return to the Void Ancestor, and the Delos Empire has launched an all-out war against the Void Ancestor."
"What?!" Xilan even suspected that she had misheard.
