56. Enter the Dark Forest
Early the next morning, as soon as the sky was bright, Zheng Yi heard a knock on the door. It was Stone who was reminding him to go downstairs. He waited for the tavern to be quiet before falling asleep last night, and it felt like he had slept for an hour or two.
Zheng Yi came downstairs, and the floor was in a mess and had not been cleaned.
Erwen, Stone, Bove, and Carmont sat at the table and waited for him.
"Good morning." Zheng Yi sat in the middle of the horizontal position.
The owner of the hotel brought you a browned potato cake and hot milk in an iron cup:
"Eat it hot, put a lot of salt."
Zheng Yi took a piece and tasted it, it was indeed a little salty. He took a sip of the milk and almost squirted.
- Salt in milk?!
He looked at Kalmon and Stone on either side, and they took a big gulp of milk and drank half a glass.
Stone saw Zheng Yi's gaze and explained:
"I don't know why, I've been very thirsty since last night, and I can't drink enough."
Irwen said, "Me too. Fortunately, the owner was very nice and willing to sell us two barrels of wine - the favor of Ms. Xingchen. Sir, can I leave it to you? ”
Zheng Yi said: "Willing to serve." ”
"And our food." Kalmon smiled embarrassedly: "This time, I have to prepare half a month's worth of dry food, and the amount will be very large." ”
"We're going to be going for so long?" Zheng Yi was surprised.
"Because we don't know where the prophet lives." "In the dark forest, the authority of the lady is not recognized by the degenerate, so we must prepare abundant food. ”
You can't use that magical cane to open the way, it will delay your progress.
Zheng Yi believes that these people are good at survival in the wild, so he doesn't need to say more. What's more, I don't have any money, and I eat and drink from others, do I still need to interject to discuss how to spend money? Look at Sdondo's sensibility. He obviously didn't have any money either.
Here Erwen is a rich man, true white rich beauty. Perhaps compared to ignorant and uncivilized humans, the elves are all rich.
Salted milk is not very attractive, but considering the nutritional value, Zheng Yi still drank it all. The hash browns taste good, but they don't taste salty when it's cold. Zheng Yi ate two while waiting for them to move the goods, and felt very full.
Taking out the chocobo, putting on the helmet, and changing into a knight's uniform, Zheng Yi found that everyone was looking at him.
"How?" He asked.
Irwen wanted to say nothing, and wrapped a wool scarf around her hair and face: "Let's go." ”
After confirming that everything was ready, Kalmon and Stone put on their helmets, and Stone pulled off his mask. Boff pulled up his hood and obediently lay on the back top box of the chocobo. They had made a wise choice, and it would take a whole day to walk from the town to the village of Rayla, even on horseback. Riding Zheng Yi's ironclad mount, I'm afraid it won't take a quarter of an hour.
Zheng Yi studied the knight's suit when he couldn't sleep last night. It makes sense that this outfit is more expensive than a seat. It magnetically engages with the helmet, forming a whole body from top to bottom. Absorbing solar energy in the daylight, the rider is equal to being in a constant temperature environment, and it is also protected from dust and sun. When the outside temperature drops, the stored electricity starts to heat up, ensuring that the rider can ride comfortably in the desert.
I knew I took it out and wore it yesterday.
And the pure black clothes, very cool.
Zheng Yi got into the car, Yi Erwen sat in front of her, Stone and Calmon were separated, shouting: "Open the door!" ”
The iron gates protecting the town slowly opened, and the chocobo let out a roar of excitement and leaped out like lightning. Behind it, a group of people prayed in various ways to the lady of their faith, the god-king.
Zheng Yi was in a comfortable knight's suit, and accidentally drove to a speed of 180 per hour. However, today's foursome was mentally prepared and did not react particularly much. Fortunately, the distance in the town was only more than 30 kilometers, and the chocobo had already arrived in ten minutes.
Because he had been fully resupplied in the town, Zheng Yi did not hesitate to pass through the village with one foot on the accelerator and plunged headlong into the Eternal Dark Forest.
The trees here are not green, but black.
There was no yellow or green on the ground, but pure black.
Even though I knew it was daylight, I couldn't see the light of day in the forest.
Just one line away, it's another world.
The Chocobo's headlights turned on automatically, but soon had to stop.
The road is at its end.
Zheng Yi asked everyone to get out of the car and take off their helmets - the sound insulation is too good, and they basically can't hear the outside world while wearing helmets. He put away the car, took out the lantern for lighting, and as soon as he turned it on, he saw that the lantern was lit up purple.
"There's nothing wrong with this demigod, right?" Zheng Yi was a little unbearable, what kind of magic was so useless?
Stone felt the trembling of the family heirloom sword, drew his sword, and saw the steel-patterned roses on the sword body blooming, and a layer of black gas swirled around the sword body.
Zheng Yi could feel that it was an evil force, and he only needed to wave his hand to dispel it, but doing so would destroy the sword. Being in a team, there's no need to cause unnecessary misunderstandings. What's more, this sword has been passed down in the Stone family for so many generations, and no one has found a problem, so it can be seen that it is not an emergency.
Irwen's cane turned into a bow, and the bow and arrow she took out this time was no longer a cluster of black iron arrows, but a cluster of silver arrows with its own white light, which knew that it was extremely lethal to evil without looking.
Kalmon took out two hand axes, ordinary hand axes, only sharpened, and began to split the tangled vines and dense thorns in front of him. Although not as fast as a rattan cane, Zheng Yi is glad that someone is doing it. Puff sat on Culmon's back frame, kicking his legs happily.
"Be careful, the dark forest will corrupt our bodies, erode our consciousness, and tempt our souls to fall. Always remember the kings and queens of your faith. Irwen said solemnly.
The silver-haired lady was not expecting a response from Stone and Kalmon and Poff. Stone is a knight, and Kalmont is an experienced hunter. As for Bow, he himself is borrowing the power of darkness. She turned her gaze to Zheng Yi:
"Which Enu do you believe in?"
Zheng Yi picked up three fingers and pecked on his forehead: "All mortals are in the light." ”
"Madame bless you." Erwen replied, not very convinced. She had never seen Lady Valda's servants wear black, which was blasphemous and depraved.
Yi Erwen motioned for Zheng Yi to follow Shi Dong, and she came to the back of the palace.
Carmont and Puff were at the forefront. Shi Dong was five meters behind and walked on Zheng Yi's right front to protect. Yi Erwen was ten meters behind Zheng Yi, and from time to time she stood quietly in the forest to feel the slightest movement.
The procession marched slowly.
Suddenly, Irwen jerked sideways and drew her bow and shot an arrow.
Whoosh, the arrow flew over a short distance of five meters and landed on the tree.
There was no sound of piercing the trees, but the sound of bones shattering and screams.
