Chapter 64: Mountain Rangers
Andy and his group of five people followed the upward staircase, all the way up, and the slope gradually slowed down. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć infoBut the height here is much higher than the wetland side, so they had to stop and rest after walking for a while.
It was still dark in the passageway, and only Andy and Gent, who had walked in front, had torches in their hands, and they were gradually burning out. "Fight" The torch in Gent's hand was extinguished, and Gent glanced at the torch in Andy's hand, and only a bare ass was burned.
Andy rummaged through his magic pocket, finally pulled out a torch and glanced at Gent, "This is the last one." ā
Gent took the torch and lit it on Andy's torch, the light of the two torches was not very bright, not to mention the one that was about to be extinguished. Gent glanced at the others and said, "Then we have to hurry, otherwise there will be no torches, and Allen's magic will not work again, then we can only walk in the dark!" ā
Andy sighed and turned to walk forward. Everyone else followed him, wondering what it would be like to be in such a wide passage without light.
The five of them quickened their pace and struggled to climb upwards. Fortunately, the further you go, the less hot the breath in the passage becomes, the temperature gradually drops, and occasionally a small breeze blows. The clothes of the five people were gradually dried by the blowing wind, and they were a little chilly for a while. Gent also put his armor on his body, although it was made of metal, but it still played a certain role in keeping out the wind and cold.
The torch in Andy's hand was also extinguished after a gust of wind, and only one torch in Gent's hand was left, according to the range of two meters in front of him, and it was difficult to ascend. Andy, who was walking in front, motioned for everyone to move closer to the wall on the side, and if the torch was extinguished, he could walk out slowly against the wall.
After walking for two hours, Gent reluctantly threw away the torch butt in his hand and sat down along the wall with a sigh. There is no heat on the ground here, and there is even a hint of chill.
"Let's take a break, there's no light source anyway, so don't rush for a while!" Gent took a breath and said, he never thought that he, a middle-level knight, would walk so this ladder, and couldn't help but secretly say, "What the hell ****** hell!" ā
"Alan, can you try your magic, get some light out." Andy also sat down and said.
In the darkness, I didn't hear Allen's answer, only a few faint spells, it should be Allen casting spells. Suddenly, a small flame erupted in Allen's hand, but it was quickly extinguished. "No, Long Wei still exists here, magic doesn't work!" Allen's face was remorseful, if he had known this, he might as well have brought a magic stone.
There was a faint sound in the darkness, and Andy snorted, as if he was lying on the ground. The moment he turned over, a faint blue light came out of his waist.
"Andy, what are you carrying?" Alan was overjoyed, "It's going to shine!" ā
"Huh?" Andy rolled over and sat up, looking at his waist, there was indeed a faint blue light, emitting from his waist. He reached to his waist, where there was nothing but the short knife that Nasas had given him. At this moment, on the hilt of the knife, a pale blue gem was glowing faintly.
Andy pulled out a short knife with his backhand and said, "That's it, but it's not bright enough to illuminate." ā
Allen's face was disappointed, the hilt of the knife was indeed a water sapphire, but it was too small, and the light emitted was not enough to illuminate a person's face. "Ouch......" Alan sighed, also lying on the ground. Since you can't continue on your journey, let's rest.
"Wait, listen!" Vanessa, who was leaning against the wall, suddenly whispered.
Andy listened intently. A faint voice reached their ears. I don't know if it's too quiet, or if it's too far away, anyway, I can't hear what it is. The voice seemed erratic, like a whisper, like someone singing.
"What's that sound?" Ghent said softly.
Andy also sat up, listened carefully, and said, "I don't know! Let's stop and let's go! There was a loud echo in this passage, and I couldn't tell if it was in front or behind! ā
The five of them stood up silently, leaning against the wall on one side, and cautiously continued to walk upward. Unexpectedly, the more they walked, the closer they got to the sound. After a little more walking, Andy could almost hear the content of the voice, as if he was humming a ditty.
Andy motioned for the others to stop, and just stood straight by the wall, waiting for the voice in front of him to approach. Andy held the short knife at his waist in his hand, and Gent slowly pulled out the broadsword on his back.
As no one waited in a slight panic, a glimmer of light appeared from the staircase above, and it looked like it was still far away, but they were sure that it was the light of the flames. A man came down from it with a torch.
After waiting for about a quarter of an hour, the light from the torch was getting closer and closer, and just as the torch passed past the five people, a short and fat fellow appeared in their field of vision. Wait, there's another one behind him, but it's not a person!
As the short and fat guy turned his head, he clearly saw five figures shrunk by the wall, and his body immediately tensed, and at the same time there was a whistle in his mouth, and the thing behind him suddenly stood up and let out a huge roar.
"Bear, it's a bear!" Ghent shouted, broadsword in both hands, and leaned sideways in front of the group.
The bear was obviously very large, and when the man stood up, he was even taller than Ghent. But strangely, the bear didn't attack, just kept growling in front of the stocky guy.
"Who are you?" The pudgy guy asked, but was obviously frightened, and his voice trembled a little.
"Dwarves!" Andy exclaimed, looked at the short and fat dwarf with thick brown hair in front of him, and hurriedly said, "We have no ill will!" ā
"You know what I am!" The dwarf grunted, and held a slender tube in his hand to Andy and them.
"Of course! I'm here to find you! I'm an elf and they're human! Andy raised his hands and slowly stepped out of the shadows, fully exposing his figure to the light of the torches. He knew what this dwarf was in his hands, a musket! He didn't want to be shot innocently by this dwarf.
"Human!" The dwarf muttered, "What are you doing here, this is not where you should be!" ā
"We're here for your help!" Andy said, "I know your people! I was in Booty Bay, and I saw a dwarf! As he spoke, he described the dwarf's appearance and disguise.
"What? Do you know him? The dwarf's face was also shocked, how did he know! But looking at what this elf said, it doesn't seem to be fake. Since he'd seen him in Booty Bay, it's up to him to decide.
Thinking of this, the dwarf put away his musket and put it on his back and said, "Since you know him, then come with me!" I'm a mountain ranger here, and my name is Lecott! ā
