Chapter 19: The Return of the Steel Shield
(I haven't finished writing it, so I suggest you read it again tomorrow!) )
This is Mu Yan's second day in this world, and the first day of side quest 2.
After healing the injuries on Xiaogen's body with a healing magic healer, and repairing his torn clothes with restoration, Mu Yan sent a bunch of children back to Blackstone Town, and then returned to Baishi Fort alone.
While it was not too late, he made a small alchemy item out of the remaining materials in his hand.
This is a puppet similar to the white bone centipede made to prevent anyone from prying eyes when he interrogated Kiyoki Michicho in the Journey to the West world.
It is also the shape of a centipede, but the refining method is added to the magic guide refining method that Mu Yan learned from the "Book of Echoes", so that this piece is named "White Bone Centipede?" The Pretender's one-time alchemy items have a disguise that is closer to the life form of a living being.
Obviously, this is a preparation specifically for exploring the ruins, and having such a pioneer in pathfinding can at least give Mu Yan an extra twenty percent chance of saving his life.
Looking at the "white bone centipede" curled up into a white bone ball in his hand? The Pretender", Mu Yan decided to take some time to perfect this handy alchemy item after returning to the amusement park, if it can be perfected to the level of a low-level magic guide, it is not impossible to develop it into a series in the future.
- "White Bone Centipede" series, it's interesting to think about.
At noon the next day, he received an invitation from Lucar, the eighth elder of the White Stone Castle, to have lunch with him and the Grand Elder Albo in a restaurant in the White Stone Castle.
Naturally, lunch could not be a simple lunch, and during the meal, the Great Elder invited him to explore the medium-sized ruins named Hominis together, and Mu Yan readily agreed.
In the following time, the two sides talked very happily, especially Lucar, who was not much older than him but was already a mid-level wizard, expressed a very warm welcome to his joining, and kept pulling Mu Yan to chat.
Several times they talked about the taboo of arranging formations in the Shadow Forest, which made Mu Yan wonder if this would be the wizard who turned into a crow to follow him yesterday.
But no matter what, Mu Yan would not refuse the kindness of a mid-level wizard, so after a pleasant conversation...... The conversation between the two eventually shifted to the discussion of spells without any surprises......
Yes, what was a good conversation turned into an academic discussion again.
Sometimes Mu Yan feels that he is not in the wrong direction with his chat skills, and every time he chats with someone of the same level or a higher level, he will involuntarily transfer to academic discussion.
However, looking at the expression of the Albo wizard, it seemed that he was very happy to see this scene, and I didn't know whether he was happy to see Mu Yan obsessed with knowledge, or happy to see the two get along in harmony and chat.
So, another day passed, and in the early morning of the fourth day, Mu Yan sat on the back of the giant beast with Lucar and Grand Wizard Albord after paying the ticket fee for a bag of Bauhinia Seeds again.
- In the desolate roar of the behemoth, the journey begins again!
This time, the direction of the giant beast was not the path Mu Yan had taken as Ai Wen before, because the territory of the boar man and the human was covered with dense woods, it had to take a detour and choose a slightly wider path to move forward.
According to Albo, he could originally use space spells to send the three of them directly to the boar people, but the curse of the shadow forest has a strong interference with space spells, and it is good for short distances, if it is a long-distance teleportation, that level of interference is enough to throw people directly to the werewolf's lair!
In order to avoid unnecessary danger, the three of them had to rush in this most stupid way.
Time passed in the conversation between the three of them, most of the time it was Mu Yan and Lucar talking, or Mu Yan was asking Lucar questions, and the old wizard was looking at the two with a smile, and occasionally Lucar couldn't answer Mu Yan's question of the sword, and the old mage would open his mouth to point to the two.
Of course, Mu Yan was also very interested in taking some time out of his time to ask about the human history of the Shadow Forest from time to time, which could be regarded as brushing up his favorability in front of the old mage, after all, after entering the ruins, only the old mage's side would be the safest place.
The wild beasts sometimes ran up the high mountain ridges, sometimes along the wide river banks and flatly, and when they were hungry, they would stop to pester the old mage to feed them, and it only took a day's work to run nearly half the way.
At night, the three of them and one beast stopped and rested in a flat woodland, the familiar roar of the strange beast sounded in the dark, Lucar took the opportunity to give Mu Yan a science popularization of the precautions for not lighting a fire at night in the Shadow Forest, what he said was no different from what Bell and others taught him at the beginning, obviously they were all learned from a tree, but Mu Yan still listened very seriously, as seriously as he did at the beginning.
He would never forget the experience of nearly dying at the tongue of that monster, and though he didn't think about revenge, the feeling of imminent death was worth remembering forever.
With the protection of the Grand Wizard of Albo, they slept comfortably that night.
The next day, that is, the fifth day of Mu Yan's entry into this world.
The three of them paid a bag of redbud seeds at a time and continued their journey, and in the afternoon, Mu Yan finally saw a familiar scene.
- The Steel Shield Fortress has arrived!

Everything in the forest was caught in the eyes of the crow in the distance, and he was silent for a while, and then called softly, "Teacher." ”
The archelder's old face emerged from the trunk.
"Looks like you've got the answer." Alba's old voice came.
The crow nodded, his eyes still fixed on the clearing in the distance: "I understand what the teacher means." ”
He paused as if to consider his words, and then said softly: "I remember that my teacher taught me that the people are the cornerstone of development. ”
Albo nodded, not speaking, but with an old smile on his face.
"But in fact, until now, neither I nor you, Teacher, have ever truly cared about the humans of Blackstone," Lucar continued, "What we have done is nothing more than to use powerful means to gather the will of the people, expel those discordant factors, and force the people of Blackstone to choose the most suitable path!" ”
“…… We are not wrong, if a race wants to survive in the Shadow Forest, it must unite and not hesitate! ”
“…… But after all, our methods have wiped out the enthusiasm and self-thinking ability of the people of Blackstone Town, and although our race has survived because of this, it has also lost the possibility of taking another step forward! ”
