Thomas also noticed that the hooves of the horses of the Cedar Town cavalry were wrapped, but Viscount Thomas didn't care at all, who knew what these dirt bun cavalry were doing. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

"Whoa~"

The horse team slowly moved forward, wading through knee-deep water, and entered the cemetery one by one.

Viscount Thomas looked expectant, watching intently as the cavalry advanced. Thirty seconds, one minute, two minutes...... Time passed quietly, but there was nothing unusual in the cemetery, it was very calm.

Thomas rubbed his eyes, looking surprised to make sure the team was still safely exploring ahead. By the time the cavalry had finished exploring the nearest area and signaled that there was nothing unusual, Viscount Thomas's face had become very ugly.

How so!

His Majesty's letter clearly stated that as long as a horse enters the range of the Shaking Mountain Beast Cemetery, it will 100% arouse the vigilance of the tomb guarding beast and slaughter all the living creatures that enter it!

Can...... What is the situation in front of you, is Your Majesty's information wrong?

Impossible, in order to prepare for this operation, His Majesty and the Duke have personally arranged for more than two months, and the situation in the vicinity has long been clear, how can it be possible to make a mistake in this kind of thing?

Thinking of this, Thomas subconsciously looked at Caroline, just in time to see the female lord also looking this way. Caroline had a slight smile on her face, and the eyes she cast over her had a complex meaning, which made Thomas's heart sink.

Did she find out?

No, how could she have expected it, or did she already know the secrets of this cemetery?

Viscount Thomas was distraught at this time, and all kinds of thoughts rushed to his mind together, and the more he thought about it, the more annoyed he became, and he patted the window hatefully, and sat back in the carriage angrily.

Caroline sat straight on horseback, and although the wind and rain were thick and thin, and the air was damp and cold, the female lord was in a particularly good mood.

Thomas only knows one of the guardian bone beasts in the graveyard, but he doesn't know the other.

Yang Shou made it clear in his letter that all of the mountain-shaking beast cemeteries were covered by a special natural enchantment. As long as a creature steps into the cemetery, it will definitely wake up the guardians, and the military horses do not wear boots, and when they enter the cemetery, they will definitely step on the bones, and then alarm the bone beasts.

It's easy to avoid this, just isolate yourself from getting angry.

Last night, Caroline ordered the quartermaster to rush to work overnight, and wrapped the hooves of each batch of military horses with iron sheets, and if the iron sheets were not enough, they were made up of animal skins. The horseshoe quilt is tightly wrapped and naturally 100% safe.

The cavalry quickly found a way through the cemetery, both bypassing the bone-dense area and shortening the distance as much as possible.

Caroline quickly ordered that all the horses of the army be covered with hooves, and that the toothless elephant pulling the cart should remain with the baggage wagon. There was no way to the border, and whatever Viscount Thomas had come here for, he had to go back the way he came.

The military order was given, and soon Caroline's words were passed on to Viscount Thomas.

Caroline heard the crisp sound of wine glasses breaking in the carriage, and couldn't help but curl the corners of her mouth when she thought of Viscount Thomas's annoyed appearance at this time.

Naturally, the luxury carriage could not pass through the cemetery, so Caroline watched Thomas get out of the carriage and ride on horseback, with a servant holding an umbrella next to him, and slowly walked into the cemetery.

The soldiers around them all turned their eyes to the commander, who was cowered on horseback and looked at the muddy ground with disgust; Turning her head, Caroline on the other side was wearing battle armor, advancing and retreating with the soldiers in the rain, personally directing the troops to advance.

Needless to say, the eyes of the soldiers speak for themselves.

"We were born and fought to the death, and our families worked hard to pay taxes, and this is the kind of person we fed?" One of the soldiers muttered in a low voice, his tone cold, but he spoke the hearts of the majority.

Seeing that everything was going well, Caroline's hanging heart also relaxed, and she reached out and took out Yang Shou's letter from her arms.

The letter paper was wet with rain, and the handwriting on it was quickly blurred, and the last line of words could be faintly seen: "...... Save the strength, just in case. ”

Caroline crumpled the letter in her hand and threw it into the water, a chill in her eyes.

……

Ground floor.

The cave that Yang Shou was going to go to couldn't go again, so after a short rest, the weasel elders led a few people to follow the underground passage dug by the weasel people and set off towards the twilight valley.

It originally took a day to travel, but Yang Shou and Jane only took two hours, and the underground caverns that the Itachi people extended in all directions were like a subway, avoiding the obstacles on the surface to the greatest extent.

When he finally walked out of the narrow and dark cave, Yang Shou felt his eyes light up, and then he was shocked by the scene in front of him.

This is a huge internal space of the mountain, more than sixty meters high, with a diameter of nearly one hundred meters at the bottom, Yang Shou is extremely suspicious that the weasel people have hollowed out the entire interior of the mountain.

Although there are no windows, it is not dark, and magic crystal lanterns are scattered all over the place, illuminating the surroundings in detail. The central stone pillar supports the entire space, and the hanging ladder connects the corridor on the stone wall with the stone pillar, which is complicated but not cluttered.

There are also many giant vines climbing on the rock wall, and the curly branches and leaves of the vinemen have been processed into small houses, and a few weasel children are drilling in them, and the sound of cheerful laughter is heard from time to time.

It's one of the oldest cities of the Weaselpeople, and the one closest to the Valley of Twilight.

Jane walked at the back, shocked even more than Yang Shou.

In the past hundred years, the relationship between the Human Empire and the Orc Kingdom has deteriorated, and it seems that they may meet at any time. Under the deliberate propaganda of the rulers, people's impression of orcs is inevitably biased.

Dirty, rude, ignorant of friendship, no glory, hairy and blood-drinking...... And all other words related to backwardness are added to the heads of orcs.

Jane has lived with Caroline since she was a child, and she thinks that her understanding of the orc kingdom is relatively objective, but everything in front of her almost subverts her previous understanding.

Whether it is the handrails on the side of the road or the steep stone walls with wallpaper, they are covered with fine and beautiful carvings, and exquisite bucket arches can be seen everywhere. If it weren't for the sight of the petite Itachi walking around, Jane would have thought it was the abode designed by some great human master.

"How's that, I'm surprised,"

Yang Shou noticed Jane's expression and quipped, "Isn't it different from what you say in the court?" ”

Jane nodded, and said frankly: "It's really different, to be honest, this trip to the Great Rift Valley has benefited me a lot, especially the culture of the Orc Kingdom, which is far older and thicker than I know." ”

"It's not the prettiest of all,"

Xiaoli took Jane's hand and couldn't help but interject: "Our previous home was even more beautiful than here, but later it was occupied by giant hyenas, and grandpa said that our temple is a hundred times more spectacular than here~"

Jian Wenyan squatted down, scratched Xiaoli's nose, and said with a smile: "I know, I know, Xiaoli's home is the most beautiful~"

"The history of the orc kingdom is much older than that of humans, but now several human kingdoms have entered a strange circle. There's nothing wrong with wanting to be strong, but you shouldn't use the means to belittle others. Yang Shou said with a smile.

Jian Yan was silent, she understood this truth, and she could also feel that there was something abnormal in the Steelfront Empire now, but it was obviously a little difficult for her to let this little girl criticize her motherland.

The weasel elder next to him cast an appreciative look at Yang Shou and nodded slightly, it is rare to see a human being with this kind of mind and vision now~

Seeing Yang Shou and his party, the weasel people in the city all gathered around, greeting the weasel elders, and looking at Yang Shou and Jane curiously.

"Wow, what kind of race is that, they're so tall~" A little weasel man asked excitedly.

"That's human."

"Elder, my wife is about to give birth, and we want to ask you to hold a ceremony." A mongoose man with dark circles leaned over and said respectfully.

"Hehe, okay~ Wait for me to come back,"

The Itachi Elder smiled kindly, "But now that we're going to the Temple, these two human warriors have promised to help us." ”

"Huh?"

"Elder, you're going to the temple?"

Everyone was extremely surprised when they heard this, and they obviously knew the danger in the temple, and after receiving an affirmative reply from the elder, the news spread throughout the city almost instantly.

Soon, the weasels in the house came out, either standing in the hallway or climbing down the giant vines. Everyone looked at Yang Shou and the others with solemn expressions, and then crossed their hands in front of their chests and silently bent down to salute.

It can be seen that most of the people in this city are gray-haired old people, young and middle-aged ferrets are very limited, and there are even fewer children.

From the eyes of these ferrets, Jane saw sincere blessings, as well as ardent hope, which were extremely eager eyes, hoping that the hundred-year-old divine punishment on the clansmen could be eliminated as soon as possible.

Jane felt a gentle touch somewhere in her heart, holding Xiaoli's soft little hand, and tears were almost falling.

Jane subconsciously turned her head, but found that Yang Shou still had that indifferent expression, as if she was indifferent to this scene, and couldn't help but snort lightly.

"On the other side of this mountain, there is the Valley of Twilight, which was originally next to the Temple of Gonde, and it was the most prosperous city in our clan,"

The weasel elder was on crutches, looked up at the silent clansmen, turned his head and said, "Alas...... Okay, let's hurry up and move on. ”

Traveling all the way, the group quickly left the huge space, passed through a hidden stone gate, and with the cool mountain breeze blowing in his face, Yang Shou knew that the twilight valley had finally arrived.

The exit is on the mountainside, and when you walk out of the cave, there is still a vast rain curtain outside.

Directly ahead, in the valley between the two ridges, a large cloud of black gas was rolling in the rain. Unlike the dark clouds in the sky, this black gas stopped in the valley, condensed but not dispersed, and the hearts of those who watched it were furious.

"That's the Valley of Twilight, and we're going to have to send you here. As we have previously discussed, as soon as you enter the temple in the center of the temple, the temple barrier will disappear. ”

The Weasel Elder stood beside Yang Shou and pointed to the distance and said, "Then I will lead the Weasel warriors to take the opportunity to rush in, as long as the enchantment is reactivated, go to the center of the temple to activate the scroll and lift the curse, and the temple will be purified." ”

Yang Shou nodded, although this plan was a bit troublesome, there was no other choice. Although Gond allowed the Itachi to ask for help from others, in the end, the purification of the temple had to be done by the Itachi themselves.

Yang Shou's gaze moved behind him, and five weasel warriors stood straight, three of them were wolverines and two honey badgers.
