The journey in the Black Forest is rugged and difficult. It looks like a flat woodland, but the interior is actually undulating. There are depressions, swamps, slopes, and strange dangers waiting for outsiders.

In order to clear the way, the necromancer had to hold the remaining flesh golem in front of him and smash it with great force to forge a path forward. The drive structure is also very expensive, and Mondino complains about it.

In order to make the 'dementors' work hard, Zhou Qingfeng could only leave one orange crystal as a guarantee, and send out the remaining few ordinary soul crystals as wages.

The necromancer was in a good mood for this, not only worked diligently, but also reciprocated by summoning two or three hundred hidden servants to give to Zhou Qingfeng to play with - the hidden servants summoned before didn't hold on for a second under the illumination of the radiant talisman, and they were all gray.

The Invisible Servant is a special kind of undead creature, in the form of countless dead souls in the Black Forest. They are weak, stupid, stupid, and ineffective. But when the quantity is enough and the use is good, these scum-like things are still a little useful.

Sophia forcibly links up the invisible servants sent to the door, numbers them and teams them, and takes advantage of the undead creatures' ignorance of obstacles to send them to a radius of one or two kilometers to carry out reconnaissance missions.

For the monsters of the Black Forest, the ubiquitous Necrosouls are scum that they don't care about at all. But when these 'scum' are organized, some information can also be gathered. The convergence of information can become a network.

With this information network, it is enough to avoid many dangers.

"It's actually pretty easy to use." Zhou Qingfeng held a gray fog in his hand. This is the invisible servant in the shrinking state, which can be easily carried.

Mondino nodded, "Hidden servants are quite useful, they are easy to obtain, as long as a wizard is willing to drive a few." But not too much. ”

Necromancers are born with the ability to summon and drive the undead, and Mondino can also drive hundreds of hermits in one go. It's just that he doesn't have a special 'customer service' like Sophia, so he can't refine the control for a long time.

The speed at which the flesh golem in front of him opened the way was very slow, and Zhou Qingfeng and the others were inevitably chatting behind them. Talking about the use of the Hidden Servant, he asked about 'spiritism'.

Mondino shook his head and said, "Spiritism is a very useless spell. Because if you want to summon a soul, you need to sacrifice a stronger soul. For example, if you want to summon a god, you have to sacrifice a stronger god. It's simply a loss-making business.

If you really want to know about spiritism, ask Justen. He is a pastor and knows more about it. ”

The Plague Priest was next to him, and said with a smile: "Spiritism is indeed not very easy to use, not only is the cost far greater than the gain, but it is also difficult to determine where the soul that responds to you comes from?"

Unless there is a psychic item, you can clearly know the existence of the other party, but it is good to summon it directly, so why bother channeling? ”

Justen paused for a moment, then added playfully: "Spiritism cannot be said to be without merit. I have come across cases where powerful people do not hesitate to sacrifice their powerful samurai in order to connect with their dead family members.

Spirit-summoned souls can retain their pre-living consciousness and are relatively peaceful and willing to communicate with others. In contrast, forcibly summoned souls are very manic and unconscious. ”

chatting all the way, Zhou Qingfeng seemed to understand whether he understood or not. Relying on the reconnaissance of a large number of hidden servants to avoid danger and monsters, and then relying on the flesh golem to slowly advance, the team spent two days trekking through the forest, approaching the bloody canyon deep in the Black Forest.

This canyon is a gap in the Icefields Mountains. Healy said it was originally a quiet and beautiful place, with a warm climate for sightseeing. But now, because of the change in the weather, the manic cold wind passes through the canyon like a torrent.

The canyon is a kilometer or two wide, and the interior has lost its former magnificence. From a distance, it looks eerie like a toothless mouth. The cold wind blew farther north, sweeping the entire canyon so smooth that not even a single tree could be seen.

Seeing this canyon, Shadow was quite stunned, "This is just an exit, and if you go inside, you should be able to see several ruined elven fortresses and countless huge corpse piles." It's supposed to be a pile of bones now.

The demon army of the year attacked this place, and the elves of Silver Leaf City resisted desperately. Both sides suffered heavy losses, with hundreds of thousands of dead and wounded. I've rushed here a few times, and basically every time I rush a master dies.

Do you know why the elves were defeated in the end? Because there are so many dead demons, the blood that sheds really gathers into a river and pollutes the whole land. All elves entering this canyon will be affected, and their strength will be greatly reduced. ”

The Abyss Demon Horse was melancholy reminiscing about the past, and Ciri suddenly burst into tears and turned to run away. The others didn't know why, Zhou Qingfeng could only chase after him, and after running more than a hundred meters, he saw Healy leaning against a tree and sobbing.

"Healy." Zhou Qingfeng reached out and patted the elf's back, "I'm sorry, maybe I shouldn't have forced you to come here." It's definitely going to make you feel bad. I can stay with you and let the others go in and search. ”

Healy had no tears, but she was heartbroken. She turned around and threw herself on Zhou Qingfeng's chest, unable to stop her sadness.

The boy put his arm around her, found a place to sit down, and whispered comfort. He asked Sophia to convey his intentions, and asked 'Shadow' to take the others to the valley to see if they could find some items that would increase their strength. Find a safe way through the valley by the way.

According to the reconnaissance of the hidden servant, it seems that the inside and outside of the canyon are relatively safe, but the place where the fierce battle took place back then is particularly dangerous. But the Necromancer and the Blight Priest can't wait to see the place where the demons invaded back then, urging the 'Shadow' to lead the way.

Zhou Qingfeng let the five weakest rookie guards stay behind and simply build a camp. He guards Healey, who is in a bad mood. Late at night, the elf was still sitting in Zhou Qingfeng's arms, stunned. The boy talked to her without a match, soothing the depression.

In the dark night, the rookie guards all shrank into the ground. Healy, who had been silent, suddenly spoke: "Bad master, are you willing to listen to my story?" ”

"You say ......, I'm willing to listen."

"I'm such an ordinary elf, and I used to live in this forest. The forest was beautiful, with elk roaming, squirrels running around, flowers blooming, insects chirping, and birds chirping. The stream flows all year round, and the flowers and trees change in the four seasons.

I enjoy the meticulous care of my people, I have a lot of time to squander, and I want to be happy all day long. Everyone else said to me, 'Healy, you're a royal family, you can't be so playful, you have to learn to take on the responsibilities of the royal family.'"

I still have my father and mother, my brother and sister, and it's not my turn to lead Silver Leaf City. I don't think I'm responsible, I'm not smart, I don't have any talent, I just like to play freely every day. I never thought that would change.

But one day the demons invaded, my father died in battle, my mother also died in battle, and my brother inherited the throne and died the next day. I cried and hugged my sister and begged her not to go to war again. But she just smiled and said, 'Healy, when I'm dead, I hope you'll be strong.'" ”

Healy suddenly grabbed Zhou Qingfeng's arm, using all her strength, but she was still trembling, "My whole family died in this canyon. As soon as I close my eyes, I can remember my sister looking back at me and saying 'goodbye'.

At that moment, the dark clouds were rolling, the wyvern was roaring, the forest was crying, and my sister led the last troops of Silver Leaf City to rush up. We tried our best, really tried our best. We shed the last drop of blood, but we can't stop those demons.

The remaining old and weak in Silver Leaf City are about to die, and there is no one to help us. And then there's my ....., I'm a sinner, a sinner who has lost all honor. ”

Shealy was crying, crying uncontrollably.

Zhou Qingfeng sighed, sighing deeply.

The whole Black Forest sighed.
