Leon didn't sleep all night.

He wasn't particularly bed-conscious, and although the damp bedding and stuffy environment made him feel depressed, it was ultimately a bit difficult to accept when the word "crossing" really happened to him.

This means that he will say goodbye to the past 20 years, his hard work, yesterday's hard work, every day, even the cause that he will think about when he eats has become useless.

He needed time to say goodbye to the past.

As soon as you cross over, you can fall asleep, either you have no heart or lungs, or your heart is so strong that it is perverted.

After a night without sleep, of course, he would get up early the next day, and in the first rays of morning light, he came to the high platform at the top of the castle.

From here, you can see your destination today, the forest known as the Witch's Forest.

No one knows how big that forest is, and it is clear that further south it will soon reach the coast, and it stands to reason that even if it is covered by forests from here to the coast, the Witch's Forest will still not be very large, but everyone will still subconsciously feel that this is a deep forest sea that no one can walk out of at first glance.

It's as if it's a secret place outside the world, or simply linked to the island of Malta in the south.

After breakfast, Li Ang packed up his bags and put on the crossbow machine, demon-breaking crossbow arrows, one-handed swords, and open-path axes.

Because he had to travel through the forest, he chose to travel lightly instead of chain mail, and in fact the climate here was not used to wearing layers of heavy armor to fight.

His departure was still a secret, and Baron Tebeli would not let his people know that he was planning to ask for the help of the witches.

When Leon reached the edge of the forest, he turned his head and could vaguely see the high platform at the top of the castle, and Baron Tebelli was bowing slightly to him.

Leon waved his hand at him, then turned to leave.

The great forest, known as the Witch's Forest, was far larger than he had previously thought, and it was as if he had entered the realm of giants, full of towering trees and thorns on the road ahead, as if deliberately blocking the entry of outsiders.

He struggled to carve out a barely able path with his opening axe, and his progress was slow, which consumed most of his physical strength, but fortunately, his strength and stamina were not what they used to be because of the "power of the dwarf demon", and he was still able to persevere.

"I've been walking for about an hour. ”

He looked up, trying to see the sun overhead through the dense foliage.

"I need to rest, I have to have a certain amount of energy to spare, otherwise it will be difficult for me to run in the face of danger. ”

Just as he was about to clear a clearing to rest, his feet seemed to be entangled in vines, and he didn't pull them out several times.

Leon was about to bend down to take a look, when an alarm suddenly appeared in his heart, and at the same time, a cold touch rose in his neck, and the sharp feeling made him have no doubt that if he made any abnormal move, he would be pierced through the neck by a sharp object.

He hurriedly raised his hand in surrender.

A cold female voice sounded: "Outsiders are not welcome here. ”

Sounds like someone in the Witches' Forest, according to Baron Tebelli's attitude, that is, his own people?

Leon breathed a sigh of relief in his heart and said, "I am Leon, the son of Baron Tebelli, and I am here to find a lady named Angelina. ”

Hearing this name, the hostility of the other party seemed to subside slightly.

She said, "How did you get around the protective spell?"

Leon was surprised, "What kind of protective spell? I walked in so easily, and I didn't encounter the spell you said. ”

The female voice was also surprised, and muttered in a low voice: "There is no response to the detection lie, what he said is actually true, and yes, there is no sign of witchcraft on him." ”

She walked around to Leon, her big blue eyes like an endless sea, staring at him coldly.

She was a pretty girl, dressed in a flaxen-colored hooded cape, and her blouse that covered her curves, and she looked like a forest ranger.

She said, "Don't play tricks, you have my sharp wood spikes on the back of your neck, as long as my mind moves, you will be separated, you know?"

Li Ang nodded hurriedly.

When she walked around to him, there was still a cold touch on his neck, and he realized that he was not being pointed at by a sword, but something called a "sharp wood spike".

Is it witchcraft?

He thought to himself.

Her clear and cold voice sounded again: "Now that you have passed the protective spell, you have obtained the preliminary qualification to meet my teacher, but only if I want to determine whether you are carrying a malignant disease from the outside. ”

She stretched out her white fingers to lift his clothes, and was stunned when she saw the wound that had healed.

It is worth mentioning here that due to the warm climate in Sicily all year round, it is still summer, and although Leon wears a smock on the outside, he wears it very much like a modern strapless short sleeve inside.

She couldn't help but be surprised: "Have you ever been sick?"

Li Ang hurriedly said, "Yes, but I have already recovered." ”

Her eyes widened, "It's a lucky fellow, I can't believe that the Black Death is a terrible disease that witchcraft can't cure." ”

"Thanks to ...... Heaven"

Just as he was about to give thanks to God in a customary way, Leon realized that he might be facing a witch who had been hunted by the Church, and quickly changed his words: "It's just luck." ”

She nodded, seemingly agreeing with the phrase "lucky": "Well, but even if you're cured, it doesn't mean you won't bring the plague into the forest." ”

Witches are also afraid of epidemics?

This was a bit fanciful, and the fact that she had just said that "the Black Death was a terrible disease that witchcraft could not cure" meant that Baron Tebelli had made it useless to ask for help from witches?

Forget it, if it comes, it will be safe.

Even if she wanted to turn around and go back directly, this witch lady would probably not agree.

He asked, "So what should I do?"

"You come with me. ”

The forest seemed to have not been there for a long time, it was full of thorns, and even the beast path did not exist, but as the girl advanced, those thorny bushes actually withdrew their branches and leaves to both sides, and when they passed, they would quickly close.

"It's magic!"

"No, it's the Great Druid!"

He said in his heart with an undisguised look of surprise.

They had been walking for a long time, and the sound of rushing water began to loom in the background.

The deeper you go, the louder the sound of the water hitting the stones, and the fresh water vapor comes to your face.

When you bypass a towering tree in front of you, a wide lake suddenly appears.

In the sun, the lake shimmers with enchanting brilliance, and even rainbow light can be faintly seen at the waterfall that falls between the rocks at the top.

It's like a wonderland from a fantasy novel!

He couldn't help but murmur secretly: There should be a goddess in the lake hidden, and I will give a divine sword as soon as I come, which is in line with the routine of fantasy novels.

It's hard to imagine that in the depths of this dense forest, there is such a magnificent lake hidden.

"Go take a shower, and your clothes, all of them have to be washed. ”

"I know you Christians have some inexplicable rules, but in this forest, if you want to see a teacher, you have to follow our rules. ”

She clasped her hands to her chest and said in a cold voice.

"Good. ”

Leon agreed very decisively, and did not even pretend to hesitate, in fact, when he saw this lake for the first time, he was eager to immediately plunge into it and take a good swim.

It's just that......

"Aren't you going to dodge?"

"Oh, why should I avoid it, this forest is ours. ”

"But I'm a man, you're a woman. ”

"So what?"

Li Ang was speechless, could this girl have lived in the big forest all her life, so she has no understanding of the difference between men and women?

So how did she know that there was the Black Death in the outside world?
