Chapter 14. Not usual
To the east of Minertown, there is a large primeval forest called the Black Forest, which is rich in products, and the food chain composed of various animals is quite complete, and because it is close to the Miner's Town on the road to Black Lake City, it is usually a good place for hunters to hunt.
However, entering the Black Forest to hunt also requires personnel to organize and arrange, and all kinds of alien races and robbers wandering over from the Three Dukes' Hill are the first to lurk in the Black Forest.
They then plundered supplies near the miners' town, and even risked robbing and slaughtering caravans and civilians on the road, despite militia patrols.
But John was not referring to the Black Forest, but to a small grove of trees that stretched out from the Black Forest, and although there were no large beasts, there were also small animals such as rabbits and birds, which satisfied the appetites of the three of them.
"Oh, if I knew we should have taken three pieces of brown bread!"
Pete walked in front first, waving a light javelin in his hand by the way, and laughing exaggeratedly with his legs raised: "Then we can eat toast while eating delicious barbecue from Chef Pete!" ”
"Oh, of course, I hope it doesn't taste too bad."
Hawke also replied with a smile on the side, but it was only a joke, after all, Pete's family runs a tavern, and he must also make some food, although it will not be like the real chef in the tavern, but it will definitely taste better than the two of them.
"I think that's the case." John was also smiling innocently, his chubby face full of a certain relaxation, and he obviously liked this kind of relaxed moment very much.
Sometimes friends are like this, making harmless jokes to each other, in fact, it is still full of pleasure, and friendship is like this little by little accumulation, rather than belittling others to improve themselves, to highlight the so-called friendship between the two sides.
"By the way, it seems that we don't have salt"
As he was walking, Pete was suddenly stunned, turned his head and stared at the hill fortress that was already far away, and couldn't help but touch his head, and said in a daze: "And we don't have clear water, but we forgot about it."
You can't wash your prey without water, and although it doesn't matter if you've roasted it over the fire, and it's a big deal to throw away all the entrails, but there's no only condiment, salt, which is really unacceptable.
"It was just an accident."
Mi looked at the woods that were already very close, and Hawke couldn't help but show a wry smile, and couldn't help but shrug his shoulders and comfort: "Since you're already here, why don't you go in and have a look." ”
The products in this world are still very rich, and it is really impossible to find some edible wild fruits, and it is acceptable to combine them with simple barbecue.
In the face of the lack of salt, John also showed a helpless expression, just smiled and raised the short sword in his hand and said, "I can remove all the good meat, so that we can eat it well." ”
"Okay, okay, that's really depressing."
Pete couldn't help but scratch his head, looking around left and right, trying to find something to spice up, but apart from the wild fruits hanging from the branches, there was really nothing to eat with the roast.
Of course, if there is a large pot here, Pete can even match those meats and wild fruits, as well as some familiar wild vegetables, to make a delicious pot of broth, even if there is no salt, he can drink very well, but unfortunately Pete he does not have a pot.
Hawke was also smiling on the side, they were all here anyway, even if they were familiar with it, it didn't matter, since they had become friends, it wasn't unreasonable to get acquainted with it better.
The trees in the woods were not densely distributed, at least from the outside, and the three of them stood on the periphery and looked inside, and the sound of birdsong from time to time accompanied by the breeze took a deep breath, feeling that it was a kind of pleasure from the heart.
"Something isn't quite right."
Hawke took a deep breath, feeling the air from the other world without the slightest pollution, but he was suddenly stunned, frowning slightly and looking left and right, the unusual senses from the game system reminded him that there was still something wrong with this place, and it was very wrong.
Gently reaching out and pulling out the infantry dagger at his waist, Hawke gave a quiet look to the other two who were puzzled, took off the iron-clad round shield hanging on his back with his left backarm, and walked forward gently.
"What's wrong?"
Pete and John also picked up their weapons, cautiously followed him, looked at the woods in front of them, couldn't help but swallow and spat at the mouth, forcibly suppressed the doubts in their hearts, and asked lightly beside him, "Did you find something?" ”
This forest is an extension of the Black Forest, who knows if there is something lurking in it, but this place is not far from the hill fortress, if you find some anomaly, with the speed of the cavalry, it can be galloped over quickly in just five minutes!
"A faint smell of blood, and some strange shadows."
Hawke tilted his head slightly, looked at the woods in front of him carefully, his body slowly pressed down, and his original turquoise eyes seemed to have a little black entanglement, and a faint power was on his rather thin body.
With the blessing of the power of the bloodline from the game system, Hawke's eyesight is definitely comparable to some subraces such as half-elves, and even from the powerful bloodline of Alduin's blood, which has long made him quite sensitive to the taste of blood!
"What is it?" John walked side by side with Hawke, carefully holding the shield with his left hand, turned his head to look at Pete, who was holding a light javelin and short sword, took a step back, and Hawke stepped forward and sideways, faintly guarding him.
"It could be a goblin, or it could be a goblin."
Hawke frowned, the faint smell of blood in his nose became clearer and clearer, especially looking at the dark area deep in the woods, and even felt some short figures, lurking quietly, waiting for them to continue to take the bait.
However, Hawke did not have the slightest fear, especially frowning and looking at the woods, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but bring a smile, turned his head to look at John and Pete beside him, and said calmly: "Definitely no more than fifteen." ”
"I think the three of us are still a little too reluctant"
John also took a deep breath and looked at the darkness in front of him, he couldn't see the difference without the game system, except that the darkness covered his vision, to be honest, there was only the smell of trees in the woods.
Gently raising his legs and stepping over a bush, Hawke frowned slightly, and his advancing figure slowly stopped, looking at the dark place in front of him, his turquoise eyes were in the center, and a faint black spot had appeared, but in his gaze, the darkness in front of him had completely transformed into some kind of faint red.
Dark vision.
Or is it the dragon's vision brought by the powerful bloodline of Alduin's blood, you must know that the Nords, the Imperials and the Redguards do not have the ability to see wildly, and except for the tiger people in the game, it can actually be said that they are blind at night.
"Be careful." Hawke swallowed slightly, he turned his head to glance behind him, only to find John and Pete staring blankly at the darkness in front of them, with a little uncertainty on their faces, carefully following him.
He could be sure that there were indeed some non-human enemies in the woods in front of him, and he could tell what race it was based on the looming figure. To be honest, it makes Hawke itch his hands!
The increase from the game system has been revealed, but The Elder Scrolls Online: Skyrim is a game that does not focus on the experience of the characters themselves like other games, but combines the experience of any skill with the experience of the characters as another highlight of the game.
"However, killing enemies is still the best way to level up!"
Pursing his lips slightly, Hawke looked at the woods, and his heart was actually eager to try, as long as he killed the enemy, he would not only get the upgrade of the character, but also the experience points of various talents and abilities!
However, he still looked at the two friends behind him with some concern, although whether it was a goblin or a goblin, as long as an adult with an iron shovel and a mine hoe could easily kill four or five, but the two teenagers with no combat experience, to be honest, Hawke was really not at ease.
