Chapter 214: Mystic Forest
Wangmu City is the northernmost town of the Glory Dynasty, the south is close to the inland of the dynasty, and the north is an endless ancient forest, because there is no danger to defend here, except for the occasional harassment of wild beasts on weekdays, there is no foreign invasion at all, so the defense here is not very strong, but after all, it is also the border line of the empire, so no matter how strong it is, the empire still sent 10,000 troops to guard this city.
But it's also a little funny to say, the name of Wangmu City, itself has no special significance, it is rumored that His Majesty the Emperor was naming it, seeing that the city was facing a forest, he had a whim, Wanglin, Wangmu, and finally decided on a name for Wangmu City.
Because it is the border of the empire, its prosperity is definitely average, not as good as the inland, and there is no special feng shui here, except for an endless ancient forest is a feature, the rest, there is no longer an attractive place. Therefore, on weekdays, the people who come and go in Wangmu City are sparse and loose, except for the guards of the city, the residents, and a few merchants, there is no one here at all. But something strange happened recently.
It is said that a woodcutter who went into the forest to collect firewood, on the way back home in the evening, he saw a flashing figure, and where the figure passed, a hundred flowers were in full bloom, and the dead wood was in spring, the woodcutter once thought that the gods had descended, and he knelt there for a long time, and then when he returned home, his heart was agitated, and he spread the news near his home, and at first people did not believe it. Later, several woodcutters who were also collecting firewood also entered the woods, and saw the place mentioned by the woodcutter before, because it was an area that was often cut down by woodcutters, so it should have been a sparse clearing, but when I looked again, the stumps there had already sprouted, and they were several meters long overnight, and there were flowers everywhere.
This change had shaken the villagers who had not believed in it, but a few days later, when the other two woodcutters who had gone to collect firewood together entered the forest, they were said to have seen a figure emitting a green light, miraculously reviving a fawn that was supposed to be dead.
The words of the woodcutter before, coupled with the scene of flowers everywhere, combined with what the two of them saw with their own eyes, caused a lot of sensation in the vicinity of the city for a while. And in the end, it was a later incident that completely detonated this rumor.
A bronze-level hunter, when hunting prey in the forest, also saw a flashing figure, but he didn't see it clearly, after hunting a hare as usual, he went home, that night because of some trivial matters, the hunter did not directly slaughter the hare, but threw it in a cage, ready to cook the next day.
However, what is surprising is that in the night, Orion was awakened by a burst of restlessness, Orion got up, looked around, only to find that the hare, which had been killed by an arrow, had miraculously been resurrected, and there was no wound on his body, and he was jumping around in the cage.
Orion was immediately taken aback, but he was also bold, so he took the knife and slaughtered the hare directly, and from the hare's body, he felt an emerald green coat of arms the size of a palm, emitting a faint blue light.
Early the next morning, he entered the city and went directly to the largest pawnshop in the city, and with this "story", he handed over the coat of arms, and coincidentally, there was a silver-level adventurer in the pawnshop at that time, and he recognized the origin of the coat of arms at a glance.
Level 2, Life Department Inscription!
Increased health regeneration rate!
This is considered to be a fried pot, but in half a day, there was an uproar in the city, and everyone knew that in the original unnoticed primeval forest, there were actually rich treasures.
The news was like a bird with wings, but in just two or three days, it spread throughout several nearby cities.
Countless people flocked to this forest, and those beasts in this forest also suffered, and the red-eyed cultivators slaughtered the beasts on a large scale, but in a few days, they pushed this primeval forest more than ten miles, nearly twenty miles away, and not a single grass grows, from fierce tigers to small mice, all of them were slaughtered. And what made them excited was that in the process, there were really people who dug up several first- or second-class coats of arms, that is, inscriptions.
Digging it out in front of them, everyone saw it with their own eyes, everyone was enthusiastic, of course, there were also ill intentions, secretly attacked and looted, for a time, the forest was full of blood, people killed each other, and on the other hand, slaughtered wild beasts. Soon it was a mess.
Perhaps, it was the greed of human beings that angered the heavens, and the heavens finally sent down punishments, a giant python that was 100 meters long, a wild King Kong that was nearly ten meters high, and a giant tiger that was five or six meters high......
Hundreds of these behemoths burst out of the forest to fight the greedy adventurers, and that day, the sky was dyed red.
According to incomplete statistics, there were about 30,000 adventurers who swept the forest at that time, and the last ones to come back were ......
Only five hundred!
Five hundred strength is good, and there are good luck, but in any case, in the next half a month since then, no one dared to step into the forest for half a step, and the accumulation of a large number of corpses and the stench emitted could be smelled even inside the city more than ten miles away.
The people were even more terrified, fearing that those terrible beasts would rush out of the forest, and that when the time came, their villages and towns, which were not guarded by strong walls, would inevitably suffer from the ravages of those monsters as soon as possible.
But fortunately, those monsters didn't seem to have the intention of chasing after the victory, for more than half a month, no one dared to enter the forest for half a step, and those monsters seemed to have disappeared, and they were never seen again.
But......
People's hearts are greedy after all, and half a month of tranquility has made some people forget their fears, plus more and more people are getting this news from all directions. In the past half a month, Wangmu City has finally reached the peak of the scene of people coming and going.
The inn restaurant is full, the street vendors, the people or tourists, it can be said that it is difficult to move an inch during the day, and even at night, the lights are endless for a long time, compared with the past, it is really too lively.
"Hey, did you hear about you? Recently, it seems that the lord of the castle is organizing another large-scale sweep. It seems like three days later. ”
"Cut, what's your news? It's long outdated, okay? ”
"That's it, and you're not right, what is the city lord's organization? It's obviously the Red Ghost Gate that is being manipulated behind the scenes, is it good? Who doesn't know the news now? ”
"Red Ghost Gate? You're talking about ......."
……
"You mean that the wooden inscription is probably hidden in that forest?"
Kai Yin also sat in this restaurant, by the window, he had been here for the second day, he had not slept for a day and a night, wandering between the major restaurants and inns during the day, listening to those people talking about various things after drinking, and wandering the streets of the city at night, on the one hand, to listen to the whispers that people did not dare to mention during the day, and on the other hand, naturally to understand the basic structure of the city.
"I don't want to repeat this topic again."
Tianyan's angry voice in his body came, "I just said that it is very possible, is it very likely?" As for whether it is there or not, how do I know? Anyway, this place is what I know, the largest primeval forest on the continent, the strongest wood energy in the whole continent, if the wood inscription really appears in a place where the wood energy is abundant, then this must be the most likely place. ”
After a pause, Tianyan continued, "And didn't you hear that? There are many people who have obtained the inscriptions of the life system in the forest, although they are only the first and second grades, but you must know, boy, this kind of treasure, even at my time was very rare, but here, there are actually more than a dozen pieces at once, such an abnormal situation, doesn't it prove that there are treasures here? If what I expected, the wooden inscription should be here. ”
Kai Yin didn't speak, took a sip of water, and put the cup down, in fact, he himself was biased towards this result in his own heart, but he just didn't agree with Tianyan, who let them have a grudge before.
