Chapter 150: Abandoned Camp
Chapter 150: Abandoned Camp
"It can't be!" Lyudmila categorically refused Valentina's request, "We are in a hurry to go to the Kitland fortress in the mountains of Lucia, where there is an important diplomatic mission waiting for us to complete, unfortunately we have encountered many accidents along the way, we have wasted too much time, we must not take a long detour, please forgive me!" ”
She was the guide of this small visiting group, and the route of this trip to the north was all planned by her, and she could not afford the consequences of delaying the major military affairs. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
"That's really the case......" The five-colored deer sighed, looking very embarrassed, "Child, I am afraid you don't know that there are many evil creatures entrenched near the Misty Swamp, and they will attack passing travelers wildly, even you seemingly well-equipped adventurers, in the depths of the swamp, there are many small islands hidden in the thick fog, and there are many terrible ghost women hidden on the islands, and they form war bands, and often set out in groups, looting the surrounding villages and even market towns, and the disaster is widespread for thousands of miles in the central Far East. As the guardians of the local farms, we at the Harvest Ring have long been fed up with this brutal group of bandits, and although we hate violence, we have to use violent means to fight back forcefully when necessary. ”
The more Lyudmila listened, the more confused she became: "Dear Lady Valentina, what do you say all this has to do with us?" We just wanted to rest for a day in this nearby village, and the next day we set out across the swamp to the mountains of Lucia, and we had no intention of wading into this muddy pool......"
The five-colored deer sighed again: "It's hard to say this...... There are some things that we've been planning for a long time and don't want to happen at a critical moment. ”
"Rest assured! We will never interfere in the plan of the 'Harvest Ring', let alone go along with the ghost woman's party. Lyudmila hastened to make a guarantee.
The five-colored deer smiled helplessly: "A fish jumped over the embankment into the dead pond, and shook its tail vigorously, but splashed a little ripple, we can control this level of disturbance, but if the city gate is on fire, people have rushed to fetch water to fight the fire, the pond may not dry up, but the fish can still have a good life?" Aren't you afraid of being forced into the fire and ending up in ashes? ”
Lyudmila tried to figure out what she meant, but she was still in a fog, and at last she had to tell the truth: "Lady Valentina, I am too dull-minded to understand what your admonition meant, can I consult with my companion before giving you a definite answer?" ”
The five-colored deer shook his head slightly: "No need, it is up to people to plan things, and it is up to heaven to make things happen, if anything happens in the future, you just need to remember that the 'Harvest Ring' and the 'Green Field Druid' are not your enemies." With these words, her figure dissipated into the mist.
Lyudmila recalled her warning, and couldn't help but be stunned.
At this time, someone behind her patted her on the shoulder, and then a concerned voice came: "Mira, what's wrong with you?" ”
Lyudmila woke up suddenly, looked back at Roland's face, and felt a lot more relieved, as if she had suddenly returned to the real world from a dream.
"I just met with a strange thing...... she whispered about what she had experienced in the illusion.
"Valentina, the chief elder of the 'Harvest Ring', the largest druid organization in the Far East, is said to have entered the realm of legends, and it is not surprising that she has such magical powers." Roland frowned.
"What do you mean by what Lady Valentina said to me?" Lyudmila was puzzled.
Roland pondered for a moment and said slowly: "There are probably two meanings, the first is that the 'Harvest Ring' has planned an operation against the Ghost Woman Wargroup in the Misty Swamp area, and she doesn't want unrelated people to get involved in sabotaging their plans; ”
Lyudmila couldn't help but shudder: "Why did she tell me such a secret, aren't you afraid that I will leak it?" ”
Roland smiled bitterly: "If she dares to warn you in person, she is not afraid of you talking nonsense." The Green Druids are generally a good camp, they don't want to kill innocents, but if we don't control our mouths and say things that are detrimental to their interests, then don't blame others for being ruthless, with the strength of Valentina, the legendary Great Druid, it is no more difficult to deal with us than to pinch an ant to death. ”
"On the premise of not violating the principle, the ugly words are said first, is this the so-called 'salute before the soldiers'?"
Roland nodded: "It's better for us to abide by the boundaries she drew and leave this land of right and wrong as soon as possible." ”
"I see." Lyudmila sighed with a heavy heart.
At that moment, a small furry creature jumped on her shoulder, cooing and cooing.
Lyudmila glanced at the squirrel and said angrily: "Damn little thing! You go away! I won't give you peanuts again! ”
The squirrel shook its tail aggrievedly and raised its paw to point forward.
Lyudmila was stunned for a moment and muttered: "Just now you asked me to show me the way, but you refused, how can you change sex now?" ”
"Probably it just got instructions from Lady Valentina, especially to you." Roland guessed.
"Hmph, cunning little thing...... You're interested. Lyudmila rubbed the squirrel's head and walked in the direction it was pointing.
Roland hurriedly beckoned to the other companions and followed in the footsteps of the female ranger as they trudged through the muddy swamp.
When I arrived at the land on the other side, there were no villages, but there were traces of camping, and the fire pit made of large pebbles had long since been extinguished, and the remaining wood ashes had turned into mud, and it seemed that it had been some time. A few tattered tents surrounded the firepit, exuding a moldy smell that was prohibitive.
Lyudmila's black eagle circled in the air a few times, then suddenly landed, reached out and grabbed a tent with its claws, flapping its wings with all its might, and lifting it half open.
Lyudmila couldn't help but stop and look at her animal companion. Telepathically, she could sense Black Hawk's uneasiness, and it was evident that there was some anomaly in the abandoned camp, and out of the falcon's inquisitive nature, it tried to make a more effective reconnaissance to find out what had happened here.
"Did you notice? A figure swayed faintly underneath the tent. Veronica's eyes narrowed, and she walked lightly towards the camp, "I'll go over and see what is going on." ”
The little squirrel leading the way noticed that everyone was attracted to the abandoned camp, stopped and refused to go on, squeaked in a hurry, jumped back, pulled Lyudmila's trouser legs, and pointed his paws in the opposite direction of the camp, indicating that it was the right path.
Lyudmila was also intrigued by the abandoned camp at the moment, and bent down to pat the little squirrel's head. "Don't worry, let's check the situation here before we hit the road." ”
The little squirrel rolled his eyes in anger, simply ignored her, and jumped away with his tail flick.
"Ah...... Our guide ran away......" Lyudmila looked at the little squirrel in the distance, remembered Valentina's warning, and turned to Roland, "Maybe we shouldn't be delaying here." ”
Roland shrugged his shoulders and smiled bitterly as he looked at the female ninjas and Miss Mage who were rushing to the abandoned camp, and Bloom, who was rummaging around in the tent in the hope of making a windfall, "What can we do to convince the three curious guys to give up the search?" Let them go, it won't take much time. ”
"That's all there is to it, but I've made spell marks on the squirrel, and no matter how far it runs, it can't get out of my tracking, and it can't run fast with its short legs." Lyudmila comforted herself and took Roland's hand as she walked to the tent that Black Eagle had opened.
