Thousands of miles away, Cremar and his party certainly didn't know that so much was happening in places they didn't see with their eyes, and they walked through the dense forest, which was the northwestern point of the Silver Crown Forest, and the farthest place that the elves' powers could actually reach. As a metaphor, the silver-crowned wood, which has almost become a symbol of the Singh spirits, no longer occupies the position of the dominant tree here, but instead has been undisturbed by the spruce and fir trees that have grown here for hundreds or even millennia, towering into the sky, crisscrossed with emerald and dark green foliage, and the sunlight casts raining light on the elves and humans through the narrow gaps...... The squirrels and rabbits that had eaten themselves because of the arrival of winter wagged their tails in the snow, watching vigilantly at the creatures that walked upright on their two legs, while a black woodpecker with a red hat was unmoved—it had accidentally found a trunk where many larvae of the pine beetle were hidden, and its strong beak was literally pounding on the trunk and pecking off one feathery sawdust after another, more efficient than a man's iron chisel.

The crisp and rhythmic beating of the woodpecker reverberated through the dense forest, and even Leona could find its place, perhaps because it had been killed by the larvae of the pine beetle, and the spruce had already withered more than half of it, and the sun shone unobstructed on its pale gray-brown fish scale-like bark, and the black woodpecker was no more than twenty feet away from them. The white feats piled up at the base of the tree, and with their superior eyesight, the elves and mages could see it even when it stopped and swallowed a beige worm into its throat.

It glanced haughtily at the stupid outsiders, and went about its business without haste, perhaps some of the birds would fly away in terror, but the black woodpecker was a clever and conceited fellow, and it was sure that it would be able to fly away before the humans put their fingers on the bowstring.

The thief's fingers couldn't help but itch, and he really wanted to try, although he didn't have a longbow, he always held a silver coin, and a thief like him could hit a bird in the eye with his hard finger within fifty feet.

But when there is a druid in the team, it would be better for him to keep his fingers and his desire to kill, Gülen sighed regretfully, and in order to distract himself, "How far is this from the Snow Cover Swamp?" he asked.

Perrant glanced at him, as if he had read through the thief's mind, "We are now on the Pillar Heights," he said briefly, "about three hundred and fifty miles from the Snow Cover Swamp." As he spoke, the druid put his hand on the tree, a seasoned ranger who had already noticed the traces of humanity in a short distance - it was an inaccessible place until he returned to the Silvercrown Forest. But this is the power of the human race, what an amazing thing, it is so weak, it is not as long as the dwarves, not as strong as the orcs, not as good at breeding as the goblins, let alone the elves who are like nature's darlings and the mighty dragons, but they have struggled to survive, and in just a few thousand years they have become the most numerous race on the continent, their footprints are everywhere they can reach, the wealth they have amassed is like a river, and the power of their faith is as solid and long as the Dragonspine Mountains。

The thieves calculated that without the power of magic, it would take them three or four days before they could enter the Snow Cover Swamp, but entering the Snow Cover Swamp did not mean that they were safe, and he had not forgotten what happened to them when they first crossed the Snow Cover Swamp, but he had already confirmed with Kerry that the place they were going to pass through was the most dangerous and desolate part of the entire swamp, and that there would be no caravans there, and if they had to say what they would encounter, it would probably be the enemies who had tracked them down. Not that it's a comforting answer.

But on the other hand, if those people would make it all the way to the last remnants of the metal dragon unharmed, that odds were much lower than that of Baldwin not believing in Tyre and serving Marsk, Glenn certainly had no expectations.

They spent the night in the woods, and apart from a few daring squirrels who had come to ask for their food, there were no uninvited guests to disturb them.

After a dash of hot linden wine and a few slices of rattan powder, the adventurers gathered in their largest tent, and at the top of the tent hung a white fluorite, the light of which would make people feel cold, but it was the most suitable for reading and looking at maps. A map drawn by the elves unfolded on the fine felt of the tent, this is the most complete, the largest and most detailed map that the souls of the other world have seen since they came here, including the entire continent and its surrounding islands and oceans, from the map, the whole continent is like a broken disk, the splashed debris and soup are the islands and isolated lands that surround it, the elves depict several large areas in different colors, starting from the white Far North Sea, the Far North Sea is the black Eternal Night Sea, the Broken Bone Coast is under the Eternal Night Sea, and below the Broken Bone Coast is the Wuthering PlainsBelow the Wuthering Plains is the Dragon's Back Mountains, which run through the north of the entire continent, and the silver-crowned forests depicted as silver extend from the north side of the mountains to the south flank of the mountains, but do not cover the entire mountain range, it can only be said that it occupies about one-third of the west side, and its east side is the Highland Norman, the Highland Norman can be said to be an extension of the Dragonspine Mountains, both highlands and plains, Luther ruled by the Grand Duke of Luzel is adjacent to it from below, surrounded by many scattered small countries and territories, and the Partridge Hill is already a southerly position, it is like the longest tail feather stretched out by the Principality of Luther like a golden chicken, although it is said soBut one glance reveals that its area is essentially no less than that of any small country, and below the Partridge Hill is the huge headland on which we are familiar with the Cape Levee, and their right-hand position is the southern nation, but the largest of them cannot compete with the Partridge Hill in terms of the size of its territory.

Cremar's gaze rested on a patch of color like a blue pearl, another branch of the elves, the Emerald Grove Island of the Elves.

Where the other half of his bloodline is located.

But it's only been a few years, the soul of the other world is not the real Cremar after all, his gaze quickly shifted to the south side of the forest island, where the outline is like a flame spewed by a dragon is the dragon fire island, the side island looks only the size of a fingernail, the shape is like a snapping turtle; compared to the dragon fire islands, the Azores on the left hand side is much more neat and expansive, said to be an archipelago, in fact, the main island where Gülen is located is the main island where the port of sharp jaws is located is the center of gravity, and the surrounding small islands can only be regarded as crumbs of bread falling from bread。 The Azores and the Seventy-Seven Islands are separated by a vast Red Sea, which periodically turns dark red like solidified blood because of the growth of a red seaweed - the Seventy-Seven Islands are probably the least clear places that the elves can draw, many of the islands are just a square marked with black dots, of course, the real island will not have such a regular outline, the soul of the other world studied the other places for a while, and found that this is a graphic representation that the elves have not explored the place up close.

The Red Sea was a dull twilight, and Grenada, just between the Seventy-Seven Islands and the Azores, was painted by the elves in various shades of crimson.

- That's because Grenada is constantly expanding. Said the lich. This map may be older than Kerryben's, and there have been many changes in countries and regions during this period, and a closer look will show that there are traces of corrections on it.

- It was originally just a seaside city-state, the lich continued, looking at the little dot that was about to turn dark brown.

Of course, the layers of smearing are not due to the elves not being meticulous enough, but this method can clearly distinguish whether a country is rapidly expanding and shrinking by the depth of color, the elves of the Silver Crown Forest are not as greedy as humans, but they need to protect their own people, protect the Silver Crown Forest, the countries around the forest, and dangerous and evil countries such as Grenada have always been their first targets.

- How long did it take for it to expand to its current level? The souls of the other world were not without admiration, compared to the original, Grenada literally expanded itself from a cute little watermelon seed to a watermelon.

-- 1,000 years. The Lich said that the Holocaust was a war between gods and gods, but inevitably, all the nations were thrown into chaos, and no one noticed when a red dragon decided to settle in Grenada and make a deal with the lord of the city, only to see it rise suddenly and rapidly with the help of the red dragon, and the small kingdoms and city-states around it were no match for the dragons and warlocks, and the flames took away their subjects, burned their palaces, and took their lives...... If the gods had been able to answer the priest's cries, perhaps things would not have gotten out of control, but at that time they were happily fighting each other - who cares what mortals do? Anyway, in time these weak little beings will multiply to an irritating point - and in short, when the dust settles and the things that the gods value least become what they need most, they suddenly realize that the plane has become quite unfamiliar.

But the gods were not allowed to intervene directly in the wars of the main physical plane, and they began to seek out and comfort their followers. The problem was that in the midst of the Holocaust, there were not even a single priest of almost all the gods, not to mention a few newborn gods who were barely known by their own names, and by the time their priests and sanctuaries were able to return to the land, Grenada had become a vast empire full of dragons in red scale armor and sorcerers in red robes.

There were also people who wanted to beg the metal dragons for help, but unfortunately, they found that the metal dragons had disappeared at any time, their nests were sealed, abandoned, sunk into the sea or pushed into lava, buried in quicksand, all the changes were new, maybe when they found the abandoned lair, the soil on it had not grown enough grass and trees to cover the place, no one saw or heard the staggering noise that must have occurred when the dragons fought between them, and there were no acid and fire scars on the stone and earth, they just disappeared silently, abandoning the plane and walking away without a trace。

――And now?

- The gods are not as laid-back as they were a thousand years ago, but their priests and paladins have done their best to control this behemoth and further devour the surrounding lands and countries, but in the case of a country, most of which are warlocks, they can not do much, but at least they can support those countries for a few more hundred years.

The Lich showed the spirits of the other world a few patches of blue and brown around the crimson area, they were like the branches and leaves that hugged the "watermelon", unkempt and complex, but still a pretty good strong chain, and further up was the Pillar Heights where they were located, where the countries and territories were more messy than the southern ones, some of which could only be described as a city, while a city-state could be an alliance of a dozen cities.

And most notably, the Pillar Heights is a basin side plateau, and its edge is the Snow Cover Swamp, which is shaped like a plant with soft stems and luxuriant foliage, and its root system is deeply implanted between the Dragon's Back Mountains and the West Pillar Heights, which is an unprecedented huge pool of water, from which it is said that all the fresh water sources of the western continent come from, and then there are strong stems that stretch out to the place where the morning light appears, and the stems are bent and stretch down countless branches, and the branches grow fine leaves. But it can also be said to be a delicate frieze with countless orbs hanging from the silver-crowned forest, which was abruptly cut off at the location of the Starlight River, but extended on the other side about a hundred miles in width and length, and gathered into several lakes. To use a metaphor, they are like the fruit of those branches.

The first time they crossed the snowy swamp was through the "fruits", but this time they had to walk through the densest part of the "foliage", and even if you look at the map, you can see that the width difference between the two is almost twice as wide.

"Will we pass through villages and cities?" "Before entering the snowy swamp?" she didn't mean to delay or escape, but it was normal for a normal human to want to see more of the colors, to talk to people, and to feel the warmth of the beds and the closed houses, thinking that she would have to walk for so long in a white, unadulterated barren land.

"That's for sure. "Maybe we'll see farmers or hunters as soon as we get out of the woods," Perrant said. ”

Perrant was right, but in addition to the farmer and the hunter, they had seen knights from the castle, who, as far as Birdwin's piercing gaze, could not match a soldier of Thundercastle in terms of equipment, martial arts, or morals, for they were torturing several black-footed halflings when they met.

It may be difficult for ordinary humans to tell the difference between halflings and gnomes, and dwarves, but the most beautiful of the three is the gnomes, and yes, the black-footed halflings may be more annoying than the average halfling because they live in swamps, and their skin is dark brown and cracked like scales. In fact, it was just the dirt they had smeared on their bodies, to ward off insect bites, like crocodiles and hippos, but even with their smooth white skin, their facial features and facial bones were enough to reduce their scores to below a passing grade, and they had a frog-like face, with a strangely protruding mouth and bulging eyes, making people wonder if they would pop out a peach-colored bifurcated tongue in the next moment.

Of course not, even if the knights stripped them naked and roasted them on the fire, they would only be desperately spitting out red tongues that were no different from ordinary people. (To be continued.) )
