Chapter 36: The Malice of the Misty Forest
"I'm stopping by to do some business. β
"You're not telling me the truth. Olwei didn't shy away from hunching over her soaked black stockings in front of him and throwing them into the lake.
"I don't think you need to be so reassuring of me. Novka glanced at it lightly, swallowed a mouthful of saliva and turned his head away, "Although our two families are world friends, we are relatively good friends. β
"If you can still sprout a certain desire under this smell, it is no different from a beast. Olwes was a little eager to change her long skirt as well, but suddenly Norkaf coughed and stopped her hand.
"I think you're being a little too strict with humans. Novka looked at the city of BarcelΓ³m, which had slowly faded in the distance, sighed and said, "I'm here to do business and help the family bring some goods by the way." β
"I'm almost convinced. Olwess glanced at the carriage, "The Medici didn't think about smuggling. β
"The Medici family, who took over most of the manufacturing industry in the southeast of the Otman Empire, smuggled it, why don't you say that His Majesty Hadi Dempsch betrayed the country?", Novka laughed a little.
"That's good. Olwes finally magically dried her hair and dress, and though she still felt the stains on her body were making her feel bad, it was almost time to part.
"It's going to be a mess here, and I'm ready to run away after I finish this ticket. β
"What a vote?", Novka smiled, Olves was still as unpredictable.
"Anyway, you should leave early. β
The temperature of Olves' fingertips was still in her hands, but when she answered, she had already disappeared into the night, "This is...", Novka smiled helplessly, "... It's not for me to decide, Olves. β
"Can you find any trace of them, priest Kais, since they can continue to attack the nobles in the imperial capital, they should have a station not far away and hidden. β
"Are you mistaken, you are asking the noble Frost Dragon to serve you?", the woman in the white robe appeared in front of Olves, who seemed to like this human image.
"If you find out, I'll be able to make a deal and leave the Titan sooner, don't you want me to leave soon?" β
"You're threatening me with yourself?", Priest Kais's eyes widened.
"No, you can also see me asking for help from you. Olwes smiled purinately, "After all, we have a common interest in something. β
The fog obscured everything, and that was Olwes's first feeling after dismounting, but even the village of Nobby didn't find anything strange about the perennial fog of the forest next to it, but there were always some impoverished people who disappeared into the forest.
Some of the idlers in the village said that it was the witches who dug out human eyes and ground human bones to boil medicine, but more old people said that they were not determined and threw themselves into the temptation of goblins.
The local magistrate who took care of the affairs of the lord naturally scoffed at this, not to mention the fact that the tax provided by Nobby Village was particularly poor, and he never wasted energy stepping into this place to check it out.
Therefore, when a beautiful maiden with the token of the chief court mage (equivalent to the earldom) came here, his first reaction was to stand up and freeze in place, and then called a few knights of the realm to lead her way.
"Has this always been the case here?", Olwes sighed with a glance at the reluctant Commissar Kemp, realizing that he must have known nothing.
She chanted softly, and the mid-tier magic "Strong Wind" stabbed a path through the fog like a wind gun, but the fog quickly filled the path that had been carved out.
The sound of squirming leaves sounded, and Olweis had the feeling that she had been awakened by some animal, and she slowly opened her eyes and looked at herself.
The eerie life was somewhat like that of the Black Forest, but Olwes was sure that it was a magician, not a witch, who lived there.
"Lord Virginia, I wonder if we can go back to the territory first, my lord still has a lot of important business for us to take care of. βγ Camp looked a little frightened, and the cold wind blowing from the forest was unkind at first sight.
Olves glanced at him with a smirk, "Are you sure, Commissioner Camp?
Kemp shuddered, and according to the severe penal laws of the Empire, which he could not afford, he forced a smile at the knight captain in the realm, and he was slightly relieved when he received his unwavering eyes.
Also, there was a Gardner knight here, and he was afraid of something, "I lost my word, Lord Virginia, and let us lead the way for you." β
According to one of the knights in the team, in order to prevent the horses from being seduced by unknown sorcery, they were blindfolded, and Olwes watched as they tied the horses to a rope and dragged them slowly into the forest.
"I used to play in this forest when I was younger, and I don't know when these weeds grew up to be as tall as a child. A knight drew his sword in disgust, pushed away the weeds, and stabbed the hidden viper.
He stepped on the snake's head firmly with his foot, and the tip of the sword cut open the belly to pick out the snake gall inside, which can be seen that his sword is very skillful and dexterous, and the snake gall that was picked up happened to be bitten in his mouth.
He opened the flask and gulped down a sip of beer, revealing his bloody teeth to the girl on horseback, but the other man just gave him a cold look and turned his head sideways.
Bernie shrugged his shoulders boredly, turned his head and continued to talk to his companions.
Olwes was actually a little tired, and she made it to Nobby all night, and if she hadn't been able to guard against some traps, she wouldn't have dragged the magistrate with her.
But maybe she was just torturing herself to vent her irrepressible emotions, only she knew this.
"There's a demon wolf ahead. Gardner, the captain of the Knights, leaned down and twisted the feces they left behind to determine their hunger, "Lord Virginia, are we going to avoid it?"
"No, go straight through, I don't have time to waste!"
Bernie stopped talking in surprise and looked up, "Are we going to fight the demon wolves, there are only four of us." β
"Obey orders, Bernie. Gardner frowned and stood up, the Connaissance of Nobby Town was the direct domain of the king, and they had no right to refuse the order of the imperial capital, even if it was to give them their lives.
I just hope that this judgment is not too wrong, otherwise even Camp will be affected, and he likes this rich businessman's kid who often treats guests.
It's a pity that the uneasy neighing of the horses has attracted the demon wolves, and the patterns on their foreheads reveal their identity, and unfortunately this happens to be the territory of the demon wolves, and there are more and more demon wolves pouring over.
"I can only break through. The knights unanimously mounted their horses and cut the rope.
Ganard jumped onto Olves' horse and carried her into his arms, while Bernie threw a knife to Kemp to protect him behind him, "Charge, brothers!"
It must be said that it was a wise decision to put on the horses, and the horses galloped like the wind in the forest with their instincts, and the wolves made way and clinged unhurriedly to the horses, as if trying to exhaust their strength.
Ganard's face couldn't help but be even more gloomy, what troubled Warcraft more than Beasts was not their powerful talents, but their human-like intelligence, if it was late at night, then they would really have no way out.
What is surprising is that the girl in her arms is not twisting and disgusting and struggling like ordinary nobles, and Ganard looked down, a little crying and laughing, her originally bright blue eyes were almost completely closed.
"Mistress Virginia!"
"Don't worry, knight. Olwes frowned slightly, the hard chain mail of the knight leaning against her back was very different from Belil's warm embrace, "I didn't fall asleep. β
But there is no credibility in your actions.
Ganard thought like this, raising his knight's sword to pierce a demon wolf that had fallen from a tree, and he leaned back as best he could before pulling it out again, the heavy impact not at all like the body of a hungry wolf.
He re-evaluated, and the thick fighting qi quickly spread out on the knight's sword, sharply smashing the flying wind blade and breaking off the demon wolf blocking the way in front of him.
The knights regrouped their formation, and eight wolf corpses had been left behind them, and it has to be said that the Titan Empire was really powerful.
A loud wolf howl sounded on the high ground behind him, causing a knight to turn his head involuntarily, his pupils shrank, and his voice trembled a little and shouted, "It's the Demon Wolf King! How can there be a Demon Wolf King in this forest?"
Olwes turned her head and looked over Garnard's high shoulders to see a majestic wolf, its neat fur the same color as her own long hair, except that the covetousness in its mouth really shimmered a little in the scattered forest light.
"Accelerate. ", she said softly.
Garnard glanced at her, in absolute loyalty to the order, and he yelled, "Speed up." β
The knights rode their horses and whipped up, but the knight Volin, who was at the end, let out a terrible scream.
The unclear blade cut off Volin's feet like air, and he rolled to the ground clutching the horse's upper body, and the loud thud of the collapsing trees caused Bernie to stop.
Although the fog and trees obscured his vision, Volin's screams rang out in his head, and he still ran back without hesitation.
