Chapter 6: The Knight in Darkness (1)
The trees of the Gurisi Forest are tall and luxuriant. The sunlight that had been condensed was shredded by countless leaves, becoming scattered and distorted.
Lilwi and the rest of the knights' forces were weaving their way through the dense forest in the quietest way possible.
Butos had never been so deep into such a strange forest. Butos may have seen everything in the valley elsewhere, but he was still curious and unfamiliar with everything here.
"Knight Lilwe, how long will it take us to cross this forest?" said Deputy Knight Chief Alvin, driving the horse to the side of Lilway's horses. It is the responsibility of the Vice-Knight Captain to determine the itinerary and schedule, and Alvin needs to confirm this.
Learvi looked at the winding and endless road in front of him: "It may take half a day or more. ”
"If nothing else, we may only need half a day at most, ......Lord Knight," Butos said suddenly, offering Lilwi help in an uncertain tone that might be useful.
Learway observed the road ahead as he began to make simple calculations and thoughts. When Learway had the answer in his heart, Learway couldn't help but smile on his face.
"You seem to be right, Butos. But how do you know for sure?"
"My grandfather's map shows the itinerary here: it takes three to four days on foot, half a day on ...... bike," Butos happily replied.
Learway stopped talking to Butos while smiling, he needed to watch carefully for everything around him, including the swaying of every flower.
The Seven Knights continued to march cautiously and vigilantly through the valley forest.
Everything seemed so peaceful.
But all the calm is just seeming.
Don't forget that the valley is not a place to go, and danger can lurk in every corner of the forest.
The knight's armor is the most basic guarantee for the knight, but at the same time, it is also the heaviest burden on the mount, especially for the mount of Lillway, which is now ridden by two people.
When the horses of the Seven Knights began to gasp for breath, the Knight Commander of Lilwei ordered all of them to rest and reorganize, and the Logistics Knight Bahirug went to explore the nearby water source.
The wandering experience of old Butos will always be a priceless treasure for adventurers.
Butos gave the sheepskin map to Bahirug, which gave Bahirug great convenience.
"The map of the Adventurers' Guild is nowhere near as good as the parchment scroll of the benefactor Old Butos!" Basilug smiled happily: "I'll be back soon, hahahaha, there's a stream not far away." ”
Bahirug unloaded six or seven bulky water bladders from his horses, and after hanging them on his body, Bahirug took Butos's sheepskin map and set out to find the nearest creek to the troops.
Learway looked at Bahirug's figure after disappearing into the jungle, and couldn't help but hold his forehead, and said to himself in a very uneasy tone: "I hope he can fill all the kettles this time." ”
Butos giggled.
At this time, the knights began to rest, and the horses were also gnawing on the grass nearby. Alvin leaned against a large tree, his piercing eyes making sure that each horse was in sight.
"Butos," Lilwe, who was resting with his eyes closed, whispered to Butos beside him.
"Well, what do you command, Lord Knight?" said Butos as he sat up suddenly, responding to Learway.
"Don't be nervous, Butos. I just wanted to ask, if you find your grandfather, will you go back to the village?"
Butos began to think to himself: "Hmm...... Yes......"
For Butos, there is nothing more delicious than early morning bread, and nothing is happier than spending time with old Butos.
Learway slowly opened his eyes, a golden halo circulating in his eyes. Learway set aside the helmet in his arms. A thin wind swept past Learway's blonde hair, followed by a gentle kiss on Butos' cheek.
"What if you can't find it?" asked Lilway cautiously, he needed to protect a young man's heart, but he also needed to make it strong, after all, kindness and purity alone could not face all dangers and difficulties.
Learway added: "I'm just saying if. ”
Butos's eyes poured out of the melancholy river again.
"I, I'll probably keep looking......" Butos replied in a low voice.
Learway smiled slightly, this answer did not surprise him.
"Once upon a time, I was also on an adventure in search of a talent choice," Lilwei slowly looked up, trying to see the sky through the dense foliage.
"Are you also looking for your grandfather?" Butos's words were as pure as his heart, far purer than the brilliant "Tears of the Shark".
"No......" Lilwei's gaze began to soften, "I'm looking for the most beautiful girl in town." ”
"Her beauty is better than the moon, more than the stars, more than all the ...... of the world"
"Is it better than the elves?" In Butos's heart, the elves were the most beautiful beings in the world, although he had never seen them before.
Learway smiled softly, "She's an elf. ”
Butos froze.
"After she left, I joined the Adventurers' Guild and became a knight while looking for her. ”
"That'...... Did you find her?"
"Well," Lilwei suddenly became sad, "but her people won't allow us to be together, the elves are the ones who live with the sky, and I'm just a human." ”
"But if you become a paladin, everything will be different. Alvin suddenly interjected.
Learway nodded.
Alvin comforted Learway, "You are the only one of us who holds a knight's medal, and I think that if we investigate the source of witchcraft, then the kingdom will definitely reward you." ”
"It is given to us. Learway sat up straight and corrected.
"Hmm...... Knight, should the Knights of Basilug come back?" Butos reminded as he looked in the direction of Basilug's departure.
Learway's expression suddenly became serious and serious: "Yes. ”
"Perhaps...... What mistake did this daredevil's make again?" Alvin tried to envision the best.
Learway simply stood up and put his helmet on: "At all times, we should prepare for the worst. ”
The other knights also got up to gather their equipment.
"Turg, you stay. "Learway gave the order to the tallest knight in the ranks.
"Yes!" Immediately afterward, Turg whistled, and all the horses began to approach Turg.
Turg was the best horse-controlling knight in the team, and according to his own account, his father was a druid.
Lilwi patted Turg on the shoulder, and then led the other knights in the direction Bahirug had left.
"What about me, Lord Knight?"
Indeed, Butos was not a knight in the strict sense of the word.
Learway looked at Butos, and for a moment, he seemed to see the figure of old Butos.
Lilvi unsheathed his dagger and handed it to Butos.
"Remember to never lose courage and hope. ”
"Lilwe!" exclaimed Alvin, "how can we ......"
Lilwe responded to Alvin in the affirmative: "He always needs to learn to fight. ”
"Moreover, the blood of the Wanderer Old Butos runs through his body. Lilwe's thoughts did not waver in the slightest.
There was a rustling sound in the depths of the jungle.
With his dagger in both hands, Butos carefully followed the knights into the jungle.
