Chapter 11: Jenny's Bow

When they arrived at the Moon Lake, Hig and Shan woke up from a serious illness, and they were already tired and sweating, but the weak blue fairy didn't feel tired at all.

"This little lake is called Moon Bay, and you fell from the cliffs above." Lan Xian'er finally resumed her career as a tour guide.

Higg looked at the towering cliff, the straight cliff wall stretched straight up, but it was blocked by clouds and mist and could not see the top of the cliff, he couldn't see through it at all, such a high cliff, even if it was hung by a tree and fell into the water, it would definitely die, Higg still had doubts.

"I'm sure we didn't die when we fell from such a high place a few days ago, it was definitely because we met the fairy Blue Fairy, haha!" Higg didn't submit the question to Blue Fairy.

"A few days ago? You've been off the cliff for almost a month. ”

Higg and Shante were stunned, they had been sleeping for almost a month? Incredible, so why hasn't anyone found it here?

Blue Fairy blew a piccolo that she didn't know when she was holding it in her hand. I saw a high-pitched "woo" birdsong sounding in the air, and a big bird swooped down, and then landed directly to Lan Xian'er's side, collecting the giant wings.

Several people were almost unsteady on their feet by the fluctuations in the air fanned by the big bird.

Higg and Shante have both seen this bird, it is already big enough from a distance, and now it is absolutely shocking, this giant bird is about three meters tall, grayish yellow, the giant claws are wrapped in thick scales, it should be difficult for ordinary swords to hurt it, the beak and beak that is more than half a meter long is definitely a weapon of great destruction, and the golden and translucent eyes are staring straight at Hig and Shante. Higg and Shante felt a huge coercion from those eyes, and under this coercion, Higg and Shante were almost nervous, and their legs and feet couldn't stop shaking rapidly, no matter how much they concealed it.

"This is Ray!" Lan Xian'er looked at the embarrassed two.

Ray retracted his sharp gaze and ignored the two of them, and Higg and Shante suddenly felt their coercion subside, and slowly regained their composure.

"Shante, you didn't pee, did you?" Higg said.

Shante ignored Higg and bowed to Ray.

Higg also waved his hand at the big bird: "I'll get you a statue when I'm done later, haha!" ”

Lan Xian'er said: "Lei is the guardian spirit of the valley raised by the villagers since childhood, and he will not have any kindness to any foreign human beasts. There is thunder, and the ordinary carnivorous beasts in the vicinity dare not approach, so you don't have to worry that someone will dare to enter the valley to find you. After speaking, he waved his hand at Ray, who kicked his legs on the ground, spread his wings, and flew into the sky, once again triggering the shock wave, but fortunately, Higg and Shante had already taken precautions, so they were not as embarrassed as they were just now.

Higg looked at Moon Bay, the lake near the shore was crystal clear, but leaning against the cliff was a deep blue, clear lake, Higg bent down to pick up the lake water and washed his face, a biting cold hit Higg a spirit. Strange, how can this water be so cold in such a warm place? What a mysterious valley!

Shante also briefly cleaned himself by the lake, and he was a stuffy gourd all the time without speaking. Higg knew that there were some things that he still had a hard time with, and that not everyone was as heartless as he was.

After resting for a while, Higg and Shante were less tired and more energetic.

"Go back, grandpa has something to ask you today!" Lan Xian'er said.

The valley only gets sunlight for two or three hours at noon, and the sun doesn't shine in usually. Curiously, why do flowers bloom in valleys that lack sunshine? Why can't the clouds over the valley stop the sun. Filled with doubts, Higg felt more and more strange about the valley, if it weren't for the sight of the big bird he had seen, he would definitely think that he was dead, and the place where he lived now was the land of the gods.

Back in the village, back to the room, the old man was already sitting inside, saw a few people come in, and said with a smile: "Well, it can recover so well in a month, yes, it is estimated that it will be back to the same in two months." Sure enough, he is a young man, and he is in good health. ”

Xige and Shante stepped forward, pressed their right hands to their chests, and bowed formally to the old man and Lan Xian'er, and Xige said: "It is your high means, good medicinal materials, good environment in the valley, and good care of Miss Lan, so that you can pick up this life, if Grandpa Tang and Miss Lan have any orders, they will not postpone it." ”

"Young man, don't be too satisfied, let's raise it first." The old man smiled and said, "Ah, sit down first, Lan'er, you can also sit down." ”

"You are all already people who have died once, the old man feels that hatred is not separated from the world, you have experienced life and death together, you should see more love than me, yes. Now that you have died, there should no longer be any secret things in your previous life, talk about it, I will resolve it for you. ”

Higg was still hesitating to say something, and Shante, who rarely spoke, spoke first: "Shante, infantry major, belongs to the Third Legion of the Empire, I have no personal enmity with him, just carry out orders." ”

"Oh? The Third Legion? Hasn't it been under the leadership of Duke Arad to quell the rebellion in the southeast in recent years? So how are you in the north, how come there is also a rebellion in the north, or is it an alien invasion? The old man wondered.

Higg wondered, how could the isolated valley have outside information? This made Higg feel that this flower valley was full of weirdness.

"I'm just carrying out orders, and my superiors are asking me to capture or kill him." Shante said, pointing at Higg.

The old man didn't speak, and turned to look at Higg.

"Higg, a resident of the town of Savile in the Ural Grand Canyon, grew up with a priest, and his parents have never met him, so he doesn't know who it is." Higg said.

"Orphans? Then why did his superiors hunt you down? ”

"I don't know about that." Higg replied.

The old man seemed not quite satisfied with the answers of the two, and his smile was dull. Higg didn't know why the old man was interested in these things.

Seeing that the old man was unhappy, Higg added that from the time he was chased by the werewolf that night to the time he fell off the cliff.

The old man pondered it carefully for a long time, walked to the wall of the room and took down the bow of the tree spirit, and then asked, "This bow is yours?" ”

Higg looked at the old man and nodded, it turned out that the bow of the tree elf was the point.

"I've seen this bow before!" The old man seemed to hesitate for a moment: "About a hundred years ago, in the hands of a girl about your age. Tell me about the origin of your bow? The old man returned the Dryad Bow to Higg.

"It was Pastor Andrew who gave it to me, saying that I transferred it on behalf of my mother." Higg's emotions suddenly became excited, the bow of the tree elf was left to him by his mother, so this old man may have a clue from his mother. But a hundred years ago? Could it be his mother, even his maternal great-grandmother is too old.

"That's right, I'm over a hundred years old." The old man saw Higg's puzzled face and said, "About a hundred years ago, when Erathia was still at war with the barbarian nation and the Mizusawa nation. At that time, there was a girl named Jenny, who was besieged by the barbarians on the edge of a cliff with several warriors, and it was this bow that used this bow to defend against the enemy, and when this bow fired arrows, there was a special mana fluctuation. At that time, we didn't have the Thunder Valley Guardian, I was guarding the valley at the top of the cliff, and it was I who opened the passage to the Valley of Flowers and rescued your mother and the warriors. ”

"Valley Pass?" Higg wondered.

"This valley is actually arranged with a formation, only the villagers of this village can open the passage, and outsiders can't enter." The old man explained, "The mana fluctuations of the bow and arrow are very similar to the mana fluctuations of our Flower Valley, but we need to consume an ore to obtain this mana when we cast a spell, which is scarce throughout Middle-earth. I think that since this bow can cause this kind of mana fluctuation, then, when making this bow, it must have used a large amount of ore to convert it into mana, forming the flowing runes on this bow. So we asked Jenny at the time, and she said that she didn't know, that the bow was just a family heirloom, and that she didn't know why it was so close to ours. But Jenny promised to help find the ore when she went out. Before leaving, Jenny thanked me by giving me a chick that I had caught in the Barbarian Territory. As a result, Jenny is gone, and our last ore is almost gone. ”

"Gave you a bird?"

The old man watched as Higg stared at him and his mouth grew, "That bird is now Ray." If what you just said is true, then Jenny must have something to do with you, her family heirloom fell into your hands, and there is thunder, which saved you, which shows that it is providence. Jenny came here with this bow a hundred years ago, and you came here with this bow a hundred years later, it's definitely providence, hahaha! ”

"Jenny, Dryad's Bow, ore, birds?" Higg muttered to himself, thinking.

"You just said, save your life, I command you not to postpone!" The old man smiled and said, "I know that this matter is difficult, and I am sure that Jenny will not forget her promise, she must have encountered some difficulties." Since you have a relationship with Jenny and can draw this bow, you must have clues to find Jenny, if she is still alive. ”

"Andrew told me to go to a small town in the south-central to find a prophetic magic mentor who alone can solve the mystery of my origins." Higg deliberately concealed this plot just now, and now in order to get more clues for himself, he has to tell this fatal secret, and then look at Shante. Shante was still so expressionless that he never interjected.

"Oh!" The old man said, very dismissive of Higg's previous intentional concealment, everyone has secrets, not to mention the mystery of life experience, life and death, "How many times can you shoot a bow a day now?" ”

"Three times!"

"Jenny could open it up to six times at that time, and I can help you improve it to six times now, and in the future, as you mature in use, you can open it more times, and you don't even need to drip blood at will." The old man said, "Hehe, don't thank me, my villagers need your help more for their safety." ”

"If I'm lucky enough to find Jenny, I'll tell her about it. If I can't find her in three years, I promise you that I will help her retake your mission and help you find the ore. Higg swore an oath.

The old man smiled, as if he had been waiting for Xige's promise, and Lan Xian'er also showed a rare smile on her face: "Don't think things are so simple, Middle-earth is so big, it's not so easy to find people, even if you have clues, the difficulty is unimaginable!" Five years, if you can't find Jenny after five years, I'll let Blue Fairy help you. When the time comes, I will come to you with a sample of ore! ”

"Why Blue Fairy? With so many villagers, you let a woman take the risk? Higg asked.

"I and the other villagers will leave the valley and will be helpless, unlike the Blue Fairy, although she can't use magic outside, she can act like a normal person."

After the old man finished speaking, he looked at Shante.

Then Hig and Lan Xian'er also stared at Shante.
