Chapter 303: Old Acquaintance (2 of 4)
In fact, the footsteps in the middle of the night were so slight that if it weren't for Nana's alert voice, Link would have ignored the sound altogether. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
'Tread~Tread~'
The sound of footsteps came from far and near, neither fast nor slow, and about three minutes later, a dark shadow appeared thirty meters away from the cave.
The silhouette of this black shadow is about 1.75 meters, not fat or thin, and its movements are called agile, but it can be clearly seen that it has not undergone special training.
Outside the cave where Link was resting was a large pile of rubble, and there were many thorny vines growing in the cracks of the stones, which was very difficult to walk, and this man jumped on the rocks.
In the process, his body seemed to be fluttering, as if he could flutter in the wind with just a step of foot, and at the same time, a subtle fluctuation of magic energy was transmitted, which let Link know that this was a magician and used lightness.
At this time, Felena was also awakened, she sat up cautiously, observed for a while, and said softly: "It's strange, this is a Terran magician, how did he come here?" ”
The Great Plains of Gold is inhabited by orcs, who are not very friendly to the Terrans, and it is difficult for them to trust any other Terrans, except for some Terran merchants who have been doing business with them for generations.
And the Colora Mountains are either desolate and barren wasteland, or dangerous dense forests, this kind of place is inaccessible, even the orcs are reluctant to come, and at this time there is a human magician, and he came alone, which is a bit incomprehensible.
As he spoke, the magician got closer and closer to the cave, and he seemed to be looking for a place to rest, and the cavern that was sunken into it was an excellent place.
"He's here, just in time to ask." Link said, "Nana, when he comes in, subdue him." ”
Nana nodded, and stood up to prepare.
The figure was getting closer and closer, and the guy was still talking to himself as he walked: "Stupid orc, you want to catch me with your brains?" Hum. ”
"I'm definitely going to make a fortune this time, tsk, elven treasure, it's exciting to think about it."
"We're going to get rich, aren't we, little thing."
"Squeak ~ squeak ~ " This is the call of some kind of rodent.
As he got closer, Link also saw the little animal, which looked a bit like a squirrel, and was lying on the shoulder of the black shadow at this time, with a small paw clutching the black shadow's hair, and a small paw holding a solid one, 'chirping' and gnawing very intently.
"Hehe, a cave in the air, what a nice resting place."
As soon as he gained a foothold, he saw a figure rushing towards him, and he didn't have time to react, a short sword rested on his neck...... The shadow hurriedly raised his hands, and the little thing on his shoulder squeaked and burrowed into his clothes.
"Misunderstanding! Misunderstand! I don't know if you occupy this place first, so I'll go, okay? The dark shadow's voice sounded dejected.
I just escaped the orc pursuit, and I was proud, but I crashed into danger, this guy who cowered in a barren mountain cave in the middle of the night, is that good?
I'm afraid he's going to plant it this time.
With a soft "poof", Link lit up a light spell, and the cave lit up, and the strange thing was that when the light spell appeared, a transparent light film appeared at the mouth of the cave at the same time.
It's a space-warping film that distorts the light of the Luminostat back, and from the outside of the cavern, everything looks normal.
With this light, Link could see the face of this dark shadow clearly, and he was suddenly a little surprised, and called out a name: "Are you Morrigan?" Morrigan, the king of adventures? ”
The person in front of him, with dark blue hair, a very strong figure, and a face full of vicissitudes, he had appeared once in the Blue Hermit Inn in Hot Spring City, when Enoli appeared, this person immediately felt dangerous, and he was decisive.
This sensitivity to danger left a deep impression on Link.
Morrigan was a little confused, his gaze darting between Link, Felena, and Nana.
All three are quirky.
One is a magician with black hair and black eyes, those eyes seem to be able to see people's hearts at once, the magic robe on his body is surrounded by a fiery red halo, at first glance, it is a high-end color, and the magic he used just now is also very weird, and he can't understand it as a magician.
One is a pure and lovely girl, who looks very ordinary, but her strength is terrifying, and there is a beautiful woman with long fiery red hair, a hot body, and a full aura, who is half a head taller than him, her arms are thicker than his, and her body exudes a terrifying atmosphere.
In the middle of the night, it was really bizarre to encounter such a strange combination in the wilderness.
"Please forgive me, but you are?" Morrigan had been running around the continent all this time, and he really couldn't remember where he had seen this black-haired young man.
"In the early winter of last year, in Hot Spring City, at the Blue Hermit Inn, there was a strange black-haired girl, and you left immediately. I should have come out of the hotel and asked you where you were. Remembered? Link prompted.
With such a reminder, Morrigan finally remembered, and he patted his head: "I remember, you are the black-haired young man from Donggu Academy!" ”
He looked Link up and down, as if he remembered something, and suddenly his eyes widened: "You are Link?" ”
Link's flame master robe is too recognizable, and the reputation of the Demon Slayer Hand has spread throughout the wizarding world, and a magician like Morrigan who adventures everywhere has of course heard of Link's reputation, and at this time, with a little thought, he guessed Link's identity.
Link nodded his identity as he motioned for Nana to put her sword away.
Morrigan immediately gave Link a mage salute: "It's an honor to meet you." ”
Then he looked at Felena again, and also bowed down: "If I'm not mistaken, you are Felena, the dragon lady, right?" ”
Felena saw that it was Link's acquaintance, so she let down her guard, and when she heard Morrigan's words, she was a little curious: "What, you still heard of me?" ”
"I was in the north a month ago, and I've heard the story of you going deep into the Black Forest to fight the artifact Dark Serpent many times. Especially if you're a dragon, those ordinary people are rare, so they often talk about you as the protagonist of legendary stories. ”
Link and Felena glanced at each other, but they didn't expect this to spread so widely.
Link was very curious about Morrigan's presence here, and he asked, "This is thousands of miles away from the Kingdom of Norton, you were in the north a month ago, why did you get here now?" ”
'Haha~' Morrigan smirked, he asked first, "Can I sit down and talk?" ”
"Of course." Link sat down as well.
Morrigan took out a beast skin blanket and spread it on the ground, then sat cross-legged and said with a smile: "I heard that a dark artifact appeared in the north, so I didn't dare to stay there for long. It just so happened that I got news of a High Elf Ruins, so I rented a griffon and flew all the way to the border of the Norton Kingdom, and then rode all the way through the Golden Plains. Tsk, this journey is really thrilling, and it took me a lot of effort. In fact, I was being chased by a horde of orcs just now. ”
Felena grabbed one of the words in his words: "High Elf Ruins? In the Colora Mountains? Aren't the High Elves on Dawn Island? You won't get fake news, will you? ”
Morrigan nodded with certainty: "It's true!" I didn't believe it at first, so I began to confirm the authenticity of the news, and finally I confirmed that this relic should be the tomb of a high elf nobleman 300 years before the Demonic Calamity...... You know, before the Scourge of Demonic Energy, the High Elves were the masters of Feroman, and the Golden Plains was the fiefdom of this High Elf nobles, you see this. ”
Morrigan was unsuspecting of Link, and at this time he did not hide what he knew, he took out an old scroll and spread it on the ground: "This is an excerpt from an ancient book, you see, 2,600 years ago, the Great Plains of Gold was still called Labcillin, in the High Elven language, this is the meaning of the Land of Gold, and the surname of the lord here is 'Labcillin', which means the Golden Family." This ruin is the tomb of Derrak, the last lord of Labsiliman, did you know? The Golden Family is very wealthy, especially Dellac, who is also known as Scrooge, and his tomb contains countless treasures, lost magic books, powerful magic equipment, and all kinds of rare spell casting materials....."
Hearing this, Felena's face was a little unkind: "So, are you going to rob the tomb?" ”
The dragon clan also has many tombs with a long history, and what they hate the most is these tomb robbers, basically, when they meet one, they will squirt a mouthful of dragon breath to teach each other to be humans, and now if Link didn't know this Morrigan, Felena would definitely do it directly!
Don't look at Felena is very kind to Link, this is because Link's strength and wisdom have won her respect, and when it comes to ordinary people, dragons don't have a good temper.
"......" A cold sweat dripped from Morrigan's forehead, he realized that he was too excited, these news and Link said that it should not be a big problem, but discussing the tomb robbery with the dragon clan, the other party will be furious nine times out of ten..... He was so excited just now, he was negligent!
After thinking for a long time, Morrigan said dryly: "Actually, I just want to go and see, satisfy my curiosity, really, I will leave after one look, and I will not take anything." ”
"You think I'm a fool? Outside the cave just now, who was dreaming of making a fortune? Felena squinted, her knuckles creaking.
Morrigan was sweating profusely and looked at Link as if asking for help: "Master, I gave up, I won't go, will you let me go?" ”
Felena also looked at Link: "Link, what I hate the most is the tomb robbers, these villains have no glory at all, and they specialize in blaspheming the sages!" ”
Link didn't answer the question, this was the contradiction between Felena and the tomb robber, he didn't want to get involved, of course, he didn't want to see this Morrigan killed like this, he cleverly changed the topic, and said to Morrigan: "You just said that you were chased by orcs, but there shouldn't be orcs here..... Felena, don't you think that's a little weird? ”
Orcs rarely enter the Colora Mountains, as was the case in previous games, with one exception, ******** Ecentiran, the dragon who enslaved many orcs as his minions in order to expand his power.
When Link said this, he immediately diverted Felena's attention, and she immediately put down the matter of tomb robbing, and frowned: "It's strange, tomb robbers, what do you say those orcs look like?" ”
Morrigan quietly breathed a sigh of relief, he knew that Link had relieved him, and he was naturally grateful, needless to say, he didn't dare to mention the tomb robbery anymore, and said honestly: "This group of orcs is indeed different from ordinary orcs. Their skin is gray-black, their eyes are blood-red, they are much stronger and taller than ordinary orcs, they are also very fast, and most importantly, they are very savage and ferocious, not reasonable at all, and they are completely different from the orcs on the Golden Plains, and those orcs on the plains can still speak. ”
Felena was deep in thought, she thought for a moment, and said, "I'm afraid this matter has something to do with Esendilan, I must investigate it, Link......"
Link immediately said, "Of course I'll help." However, this guy was able to escape the pursuit of these orcs, and he should be a good guide. ”
"Thank you." Felena said to Link gratefully, then she turned to Morrigan, raised her eyebrows, and threw a sharp look: "Tomb robber, if you don't want to be pinched to death by me, lead the way!" (To be continued.) )
