37- Missing
"Just put it here..."
"Hmmm......"
"Vir, this... There is no way to do it. Winnie, with her long silver hair coiled, stood behind Will. You know, Falt ......."
"Winnie, why is life always so fragile?" Vel was dressed in brown-green clothes and was now in front of a stone tablet.
The stele reads: Tomb of Falt.
Placing a sword in front of the tombstone, Will watched silently.
"Winnie, I've decided. I'm going. ”
With a sad expression on her face, Winnie stepped forward and gently took his hand, "Do you have to go?" ”
Will stood silently, not speaking.
"That'...... So be it......" Turning around, Winnie let go of Will's hand, and the white veil of the pleated skirt rippled with light. A few drops of crystal, falling from her eyes. "Go ahead, remember... To come back. ”
Will turned his head and looked at Winnie as he walked away, his eyes calm, but the turbulence in his pupils turned into waves that pounded his heart.
……
"Wow wow! Wow! It's really a ghost, what a hell! Help me! "On the mountain road, a man carried a fox with his head upturned by the wind on his back, and ran like a life.
It is said that the most terrifying one is the same kind of scare, the other is unknown, and the others are not terrible.
It is also said that as long as you face something terrible, it is not scary.
"It's! Hell! "But when a terrifying white face suddenly appeared in front of Will, what seven disciplines, what eight attention. What this and that, all of them scared out of the seven spirits with the three souls.
"Huhu! ~" Weir couldn't run, and the little fox behind him had two eyes that swirled.
"Didn't chase after you?" Weir looked back at the open road. "Oops, the way back was blocked by a ghost, so I had to continue."
"To ...... WhewW...... Where has it been? Wiel looked around and saw that they had come to the top of the woodland. Not far ahead, you can faintly see the steps hidden in the mountain road.
Walking to the bottom of the steps, Ver looked up...... Look up,...... "I'll go, so high!" "In the crack of the mountain, a broken stone staircase winds upward, hidden in the clouds, and the top of the mountain is much higher than you think.
"Oh, no, I need to take a break."
After more than ten minutes of climbing the steps, Weir stuck out his tongue and drooled down.
"Hey~hey~Ha......"
Out of breath, "No, no" took the backpack off his back and put the fox on the ground. "Up, up the stairs, up the stairs, by yourself... Call... Crawl. Weir lay on the ground in a large font, "I can't do it anymore, I'm tired, I'm tired to death." Let me take a break. ”
……
"Falt."
"What's the matter?"
"Can you help me get this thing to the Sacred Tree City in the Boluante Plains?"
"Good. But before I do that, I'm going to make a trip to Mount Wolan, where there has been an urgent battle the other day, and the clergy have been mobilized there. ”
"It turns out that this situation has happened, and there is no way to activate the teleportation array without the priesthood."
"You remember. However, if you can make someone who can teleport the stone henge for a short distance, you guess you can teleport on your own, so please ask me? ”
"I can't teleport that far, so I might as well kill me if I do it myself."
"It's useless to say anything else, Will, you owe me a meal."
"Then please, Falt."
The swordsman, with his bow on his back and wearing light armor, turned around, waved his hand with his back to Will, and walked off into the distance.
……
"Mountain Road ......" Wei Er lay on the mountain road, the sun shone on his body, looking into the distance, Wei Er looked at the waves and remembered something, "I remember what magic array someone told me?" It looks like it's coming from a mountain. ”
Looking up, there was nothing but mist and clouds.
"Looks like you'll have to go up to know something."
But now, as the sun slowly sank at sea level, and around the corner, Wiel made a fire and built a sheltered hut out of planks on stones and brackets at the corners.
"Ollie, do you think I can get back home?"
"Huh?"
"It's been a long time since I've been here, and I don't know how my family is doing?"
"Whew...... Woo. ”
"Winnie said that restoring the sacred tree would bring me back to the world I was, but how do I restore it?" Wiel ate a little. "What is the world like? I don't feel a difference, but there are so many incredible things. Including you, Ollie. ”
"Whew~." Ollie lay down by the fire, yawned, and buried his head in the face of Wiel.
The wood in the fire crackled, reflecting Wiel's face red.
……
"I'm finally back home." Falt returns to his hut and infuses the lampstone with magical power. "I thought I wouldn't come back."
The little room lit up, hung his bow on the shelf in the wall, drew his sword, and struck the sword oil again.
Take off your armor neatly and change into a light outfit. Washed the dust off his body with water. Looking at the scroll in his hand, Falt placed it in a small box.
Pushing open the door, Falt came outside the room.
The river flowed gently past the house, and the waterwheel turned, and in a small field behind him, a farmer straightened up and greeted Falth.
"Falt?"
"I'm glad you can come back, but it's not safe here lately, I heard that there seems to be something unusual in the Wolan Mountain, and there seems to be a black forest here."
"That's what I'm here for."
Falt turned to look at the huge statue in the town, and in the square in front of the statue, a large moonstone sacred tree grew in front of the statue, and the statue's right hand touched the branch of the sacred tree. The two resounded and shone brightly.
Falt put his hand on his chest and solemnly performed the ancient etiquette of the Star Spirit.
"Holy Tree, High Priestess, please protect my hometown from the invasion of dark monsters, so that I can successfully resolve the disturbances that have occurred here."
With that, Falt walked towards the center of the town. A majestic building stood in front of the sacred tree, where it served as a command post for abnormal situations.
"Ladies and gentlemen, as you know, the name Black Forest is not because of the darkness of the forest, but because of the forest where shadows and monsters spread. And a new black forest has appeared at the foot of Mount Wolan! And so many spiders, a lot of spiders! But we don't even know where these things got here! ”
A group of people gathered in front of the table in the hall, and an elderly man sat in the middle, with gray hair but not looking old, and said to everyone present with great momentum and helplessness.
"Our wounded are increasing every day, but the exploration in the Black Forest has been fruitless, and I am calling you today to discuss how to deal with this kind of thing."
"Professional things have to be done by professional people, and everyone is confused about the affairs of the black forest, who would have thought that at the foot of the fertile land of the Star Spirit, in the hinterland, there would be a black forest?" Dressed in a simple red-haired and sleek horsetailed female warrior, Star Spirit stood up and said, "It's up to us to protect the town, and I'll defeat them no matter how many spiders there are." ”
"That's right, I agree, didn't we send a letter to the Starlight Traveler?"
"I'm sure you, but please calm down, dark monster attacks occur every day, and at first they were weak spiders, but it wasn't until a few soldiers died to the withered spiders that we began to realize the seriousness of the situation, didn't we?"
"I'm also responsible for that," the female warrior bowed her head angrily. I shouldn't have let them go to the Black Forest without permission. ”
"Don't blame yourself too much, but it's also a reminder that this is different from the usual scavenging wild beasts, and the slightest mistake can cause a big problem, and I just received news that some green carapace spiders are starting to appear in the black forest."
"Green spiders? Isn't that a spider that only exists in the middle of the largest Black Forest?! How did it end up here?! ”
"That's why we gathered everyone here, this matter is not simple, the High Priest of Sacred Tree City has not responded, it seems that he is dealing with some things, and at present, we are the only ones who can discuss how to deal with those damn monsters."
There was silence. At this moment, the door was opened, and Falt walked in, and said as he closed the door with his hand
"We should first find the source of these things. Otherwise, no matter how many things are killed, they will come back. ”
"Falt? It's you? ”
"That's right, it's me, the 'professional' you're looking for." Falt looked solemn: "I'm back." ”
……
It was already night, and Wille lay on the thatched roll, looking at the twinkling stars in the night sky.
"Tomorrow, everything will be clear."
Then he rolled over, beside the warm campfire, and fell asleep.
