The road is long, and the night is long.

"How far do we have to go?"

"Don't you feel the labyrinth of the valley fascinating, the spring in the forest rushing and flowing, and the spring in the branches of the ancient tree heirs?"

Hearing my anxious complaints, Sam casually stretched out his arms and spun his body as if he wanted to take everything around him in his arms. But...... Looking around, the gloomy black fog overhead obscured the clouds and the moon, and the withered branches on the roadside were covered by wind and frost, "What are you talking about?" It's Skyrim! And the night is so dark, where do you see all those hellish spring moods? ”

"O frivolous elves! Please suppress your confusing nature and illuminate everything in front of you......"

Sam ignored me, gesturing at the air in front of me. Before he could finish speaking, I stomped on the flickering phosphorus fire that lit up in front of me with a heavy kick.

"Don't pretend to be a ghost, isn't it spooky enough?"

"Hey...... Is that what you think of these cute little elves? Sam was forced to stop his ritual, looked at me and smiled helplessly, "Beauty exists in every corner, but you still lack the desire to dig them out." ”

"The sun hasn't risen yet, but it's as if I've been walking for seven days and seven nights," the intense exhaustion made me drop anchor and sit down on the ground, "I'm tired of leading a horse, no matter how bad it is to have a goat." ”

……

The rich fragrance of flowers made me sneeze, and I quickly got up from the ground and looked in the direction where the fragrance came.

The snow-white steed galloped to the rain of rose petals, and finally stood tamely in front of me, the reins of his mouth in Sam's hand. During my rest, I don't know where he got a horse and a high-end red waiter's dress. Now he was bowing humbly with one hand to his chest and the other in the direction of the saddle.

"How long did I sleep? Is it almost dawn? ”

"No, the night has just begun."

Stunned, I mounted my horse and continued on my way under Sam's tug.

The trees on both sides of the road quickly retreated, and along the way we crossed countless barren mountains and stone forests and meadows. Just as I was wondering about the incredible speed of my advance, something seemed to come from the mountains in front of me.

"Is it almost there?" I looked blankly at Sam, who was walking in front of the horse and holding the reins all the way.

"Soon, soon," Sam said with a smile, the red light in his eyes growing stronger, as if he had penetrated the thick night to catch everything in front of him, "You see, the guests can't wait. ”

In the direction Sam was pointing, a swarm of black giant ravens screamed out of the ugly nodules and flew in our direction, almost crashing into us!

"Beware!"

Sam shook the reins in his hand, and the horse attached to the other end of the reins jumped to Sam's rhythm, easily avoiding all the crows' flight paths. Sensing that the danger was far away, I lifted my head from my horseback and began to observe the grotesque surroundings around me.

The rotting roots poked out of the rocky ground and dirt like poisonous snakes, tightening into an impenetrable net that tried to block our path, but under Sam's skillful control, the horses always managed to overcome all obstacles in their path in all sorts of strange ways. Instead, the critters that fled in a hurry were tangled in their roots and eventually became the prey of the giant crows.

"What do these crows want to do?" I managed to hold my body under the horse's maneuvering movements, and asked Sam, who was walking ahead.

"How can a grand banquet be without the abundance of game?" With a wave of Sam's hand, the crows flew to the depths of the forest with their prey in their mouths, where we were headed.

"Have you ever felt the joy of a good day and an auspicious day? Have you ever heard the moans of desire and indulgence? ”

Listen to the ghost! It was so jolting on the horse, everything seemed to spin in front of me, and even the still ground grimaced at me, twisting into mountains and valleys.

"Sit tight!"

Sam swung the reins forward in a semicircle, and the steed leaped over the bottomless ravine ahead. On my horse, I looked back and saw no sign of Sam behind me. When I looked back, I realized that Sam had already walked in front of me at some point.

Odd...... Riding over mountains and mountains along the way, why could Sam easily keep up with me on horseback just by walking?

"Look!" Before I could think further, Sam suddenly let out a long exclamation that caught my attention, "The smoke is steaming, the mountains are swirling, this is Lady Merca's estate, everyone will be surprised when they first come here!" Lady Mekar was carrying her most precious cane, and even if she threw it into the deep chasm between the cliffs, it would spew out a blazing fire! The firelight meandered like a river, branching out hundreds of veins into the valley, and then reconverging in the dangerous places of the mountain plains, converging into a sharp sword in the hands of the loyal guards, spilling blood and fire on the land! ”

Following Sam's instructions, I vaguely felt the boiling atmosphere hidden behind the dark forest, and our destination was ahead.

"What the hell is that place?"

"It is for you to hold this grand celebration that Lady Merka has illuminated her palace in all its glory. It is a great pleasure for you to witness and even participate in this event! Sam exaggeratedly put his hand to his ear as he whispered to me, "I can already hear the guests shouting your name!" ”

"Is there one?"

I tried to be still, but all I could hear was the rustling of the trees ahead of me, except for the howling of the wind. Creatures lurking in the dark, owls, brown bears, or jackals?

"The servants of the manor are welcoming us, so let's give them a warm response!"

As soon as we finished speaking, a herd of burly reindeer poured out of the darkness of the forest and swept towards us. As they approached us, they stopped their steps, supported by only their two hind legs, and their front hooves were high off the ground as if they wanted to applaud.

"Hold on!"

Sam let go of his grip on the reins, and the horse under his crotch immediately lost control and went on a rampage. Sam laughed at the sight of the wild horses knocking the upright reindeer into each other's feet, and Sam behind him laughed.

After passing through the last forest, there was no longer any obstruction in the view, and the whole view of the celebration was presented to me.
