Chapter 51: Lost Ancient Technology?
It was dusk, and the white wolf walked forward alone, in front of him was endless darkness, and the shadows of no source twisted wildly at the end of the road, and it seemed as if an endless swamp covered the whole land.
Screams and dense footsteps came from behind the white wolf, and faintly, the white wolf knew that something bad was chasing him behind him, and he understood that he could only move forward now, even if he fell into the darkness, he must not let that thing catch up.
"You can't go any further. The white wolf tried to change directions, but found that his limbs did not listen to him at all, as if they had become machines, and acted on their own
It seems that this is a path of no turning back.
Just when the white wolf was sweating profusely, someone grabbed him by the tail, and in shock, he regained control of his body, and hurriedly turned around, and the sight that caught him made him feel extreme fear.
The person who grabbed his tail was none other than the fox girl Momiji, whose gorgeous clothes were tattered, and her body was already drenched in blood, full of scars left by the bite of some creature.
"Impossible!" Seeing the terrifying scene in front of him, the white wolf woke up violently, and the blood, red leaves, and darkness all disappeared in an instant, replaced by soft and warm sunlight.
"Scared the hell out of me.... Was it a dream?" the white wolf exhaled, staggered to his feet, and wiped the sweat from his head with his paws, he was indeed frightened by what appeared in the dream just now.
"It seems that I was indeed chased out of the psychological shadow by those foxes, and maybe I should go to them and ask for a little psychological loss. Recalling the dream just now, as the white wolf gradually woke up, some details were blurred, but he could still clearly remember the footsteps chasing him in those dreams, the same as the footsteps of the foxes last night.
The only thing he cares about is the red leaves that appeared at the end, she was actually made like that in her dream, and I don't know what creature bit it, maybe it's because I subconsciously feel that her divine blood is very precious, probably coveted by many creatures, so there will be this scene after being bitten.
"Forget it. The white wolf shook his head, it was just a dream, and there was no need to think about it so much.
The white wolf looked around, it was not yet dark, perhaps because the foxes had been tossing so hard yesterday that no one seemed to have gotten up yet, and the sun was shining through the windows and filling his hut.
Absinthe and Qingyue, the two "bodyguards" did not run away secretly, they did not go upstairs to sleep, the two of them leaned on each other on the table, fell asleep, heard the voice of the white wolf, Absinthe's ears trembled, opened his eyes, and at the same time pushed Qingyue beside him, and woke up the sleepy-eyed Qingyue.
"Guest, you're awake.... We're going to get you breakfast, what would you like to eat?" Absinthe asked, yawning.
"Meat, anything but fish. The white wolf's answer was quite succinct, the reason why he didn't want fish meat was because it needed to pick thorns, which was troublesome.
"Okay, we'll get ready right away. Absinthe listened to the white wolf's request, pushed the dazed Qingyue, and walked to the kitchen of the hut together,
"This doesn't look like a bodyguard, it's a servant..."The white wolf looked at the two foxes who were busy in the kitchen, and they were speechless.
The white wolf doesn't like to be served, he pursues the concept of doing it himself and having enough food and clothing, so after watching it for a while, he ran to the kitchen to cook with them.
The foxes still use firewood as an energy source for cooking, and when they burn, they emit thick black smoke, which flows into the chimney through a stone pipe and discharges to the outside of the house.
"There's no need to be so troublesome. The white wolf directly cut his claws with the knife next to him, and quickly drew a flame circle under the terrifying gaze of the two foxes, and then entered the fire element, and the flames came out of the blood that had not yet dried up.
The flame is very stable, the white wolf can easily control the size of the flame, this rune array was researched when he lived with Alyssa and Rika again, this is the first rune circle that the white wolf researched, he studied it for a long time, and the combination between the various lines was well cooked by his back, so he can still draw it very skillfully.
"This.... How did this happen?" Qingyue's eyes widened, pointing to the magic circle that was emitting flames, and asked in surprise.
"Well, this is just a very simple rune circle, as for the surprise, the rune circle you use for lighting is much more advanced than mine. Looking at the shocked expressions of the two foxes, the white wolf was confused, but speaking of which, when the witch Alyssa saw the rune circle she made, her surprised expression was similar to that of the two foxes.
"Such a rune array... We're ashamed to say that we can't make it. Absinthe scratched his head and smiled a little awkwardly.
"What's the matter? because the raw materials are not enough?" asked the white wolf suspiciously, he remembered that he needed precious alchemy materials to make such a rune array.
"This... That's a long story. Absinthe put down the raw ham he was holding in his hand and began to speak.
The white wolf also stopped the input of the fire element, and the flames that came out of the rune array disappeared suddenly, and patiently listened to Absinthe's explanation of this matter.
"I don't know how long ago, a group of foxes left their homeland, migrated far away for a long time, and finally chose to settle here, they have mastered exquisite rune skills, using magic crystal grass as alchemy materials, because they have mastered the cultivation method of magic crystal grass, so they can get a steady stream of alchemy materials. They used these alchemy materials to draw one rune circle after another, and used these circles to build the village in front of you, and finally built a huge rune circle, covering the entire village, so that the village did not have to worry about being invaded and harassed from the outside world. ”
Absinthe looked at the white wolf's curious color, brewed his emotions for a moment, and continued, but his tone was much sadder.
In this way, the peaceful days passed from generation to generation, and the foxes no longer needed to master those difficult rune knowledge, because the rune circles they left to them by their ancestors were enough for them to spend their lives happily, and those difficult rune knowledge was too complicated to learn, no fox was willing to learn, anyway, the magic circle was still running, and the food was still growing in a steady stream, and no one wanted to inherit the skills of runes, and the skills of those foxes who had mastered the structure of runes were gradually abandoned, and over time, these skills were forgotten by all foxes, even if they were"Grandma"... It's the same..."
Listening to Absinthe's words, Qingyue also nodded in agreement, and the looks of the two foxes were not very good-looking.
