There was still half a day's journey from Knoxville to the rainforest, and the group left their heavy armor in the inn, although the knights had no sense of security without the armor, but wearing the armor into the rainforest would only make them die there faster, and even if they carried it with them, it would only increase the weight of the horses without any benefit.

As the knights marched out of the village, the girls stood on the side of the street and watched the knights go farther and farther away, and young Clifford kept looking for something in the crowd of the streets, until Magill noticed his abnormality and rode beside him, and the young knight rode forward without squinting.

As it approached noon and the weather got hotter, the knights wore long shirts and trousers that completely covered their hands and feet to prevent sunburn, and although their clothes were made of breathable fabrics, they still sweated profusely. The road from the village to the Sweet Rainforest is a plain overgrown with weeds, there is no shelter on the road, few people will try to cross the rainforest to travel between the north and the south, and there are usually only a few lumberjacks walking on this road, so there are few places on both sides of the road that are convenient for pedestrians to escape the heat or rest, and no one has seen it along the way.

Puzzled by this, Stan rides up to Tirin and asks him about it. "If a Threndra is going from north to south, how is he going to go? I guess he won't try to cross the Sweet rainforest. ”

Tirin pouted in confusion. "I was very curious about this issue before, and then the locals told me that even the locals would not try to cross the rainforest unless there was something very urgent, and that they would form small teams if needed, like we did, and be well prepared. ”

"Is there no other route, like the sea route?" said Magill, wiping beads of sweat from his face, and interjected as he heard the conversation between the two.

Tillin looked at Magill appreciatively. "There is a route, there was a fishing village south of Knoxville, and if you could rent a fishing boat there, you could go straight south from the sea and over the Sweet rainforest. ”

"Then what are we doing on this damn road where there is not even a little shade, why don't we go there right away?" Magil heard Tirin say that there was really a sea route, and hurried to the two of them.

"I'm not done yet. Tillin waved his hand, motioning for Magill not to get excited. "It's summer, the misty seas aren't peaceful, storms rage almost every day, fishermen don't go out to sea, and even if you can get your knights to learn to steer a fishing boat, the storm can kill you. ”

"Hell, I don't believe the storm is so strong, isn't it just a bigger wave?" said Magill disapprovingly, dripping a large gulp of water.

"I don't believe it until I see a fishing boat stranded on the shore, and I advise you to follow the advice of the fishermen, who have been fighting against the sea of mist for hundreds of years, and even they dare not go to sea, are you better at running the boat than they are?" "It's so hot that saying a few words makes me thirsty. ”

"That being the case, isn't there very little connection between the north and the south of Cerendra. Nerfi listened to the conversation between the three and asked curiously.

Tirin nodded respectfully at Nerfi. "Yes, in fact, the north and south of Cerendra are completely different, and I have always wondered why they did not split into two kingdoms. ”

Stan listens and thinks of a question. "Tirin, it sounds like a dangerous thing to do through the rainforest, and you've only been here for more than a month before us, so you don't know much about the rainforest, so I'm a little worried about whether we'll be able to make it there. ”

Tirin blinked as if puzzled, and Magill pointed at Nerfi from the side, and Tirin let out a sudden realization. "Yesterday after we got our groceries back to the inn, I told Magill that I had already contacted a local guide who lived in a forest farm at the edge of the rainforest all year round, and he would meet us at the edge of the rainforest, and you and Nerfi came back too late yesterday to miss this message. ”

"I see, I'm sorry. Stan scratches his hair in embarrassment and steals a glance at Nerfi, who is silently mounted to the side, ignoring them.

"Is that guy reliable? I mean, the guide you're looking for, our mission isn't easy, he's not going to be an undercover agent for the Mage Tower. Magill didn't seem to be reassured by the guide Tirin mentioned.

"No, I've inquired, he has barely left Serendra, and besides, it's hard to find someone willing to lead us through the rainforest. Tirin was relieved of who he was looking for.

Magill frowned and wiped the sweat that had already run down his brow with his sleeve. "What if the people in the Mage Tower buy him, I know that the Mage Tower has gold coins. ”

Tirin pushed back impatiently. "According to what you say, everyone may be a spy, even you and I may be bribed by the Mage Tower, so let's just stop asking for a guide and go into the rainforest to die. ”

Magill was speechless for a while, and couldn't hold back a word to refute for a long time, and his face with a scar was even more hideous. "Okay, let's see who you're looking for. ”

Not long after the sun passed its highest point, a large expanse of green appeared in the distance of the horizon, unlike the forest that everyone had ever seen, and at first glance, the trunks of the trees could hardly be seen, and all that could be seen was the endless green that completely covered the eyes, leaving not a single gap.

Stan grimaced. "I don't feel good, this forest seems to devour any creature that walks into it. ”

"Come on, Stan, isn't it just a forest that can eat you?" Magill patted Stan on the back vigorously and shouted to the knight behind him. "Take a break at the edge of the forest, and wait for Tirin to find his guide. ”

The knights, who seemed to have been waiting for a long rest, relaxed, marched in the sun for half a day, almost everyone's clothes were soaked with sweat, and their buttocks sitting in the saddle were about to sit with blisters.

The vague road disappeared in front of the rainforest, and it was not easy to bring people here because it was rarely walked. The knights sat on the ground in the shade of the trees, finally avoiding the scorching sun, and although the air was still very hot, it was much better than being directly exposed to the sun. Food and water were taken out and spread out on the floor, and everyone was drinking water all the way, and no one felt hungry until now, but they knew that there was almost nothing left in their stomachs but water, and they had to eat something anyway.

Tillin picked out a loaf of bread and a sausage from the ground and left the group, while the others waited for him while they ate, but Tirin did not return until everyone had finished their lunch.

Magir had been fidgeting since just now, and now he was yelling and scolding. "This damn guy, I don't think he's reliable, he shouldn't leave us and run away. ”

Stan hands over a glass of cold water. "Don't worry, I believe him, he was once Sarah's soldier and saved me with his own life. ”

Magill took the teacup and sat down on the floor. "Wait another ten minutes, and if he doesn't come back, don't blame me......"

As he spoke, a sound of footsteps came from the side, and the knights stared alertly in the direction from which the sound came, and their hands pressed on the hilt of their swords. I saw Tirin come out of the bushes with a big bag on his back, followed by a very dark-looking young man, who was also carrying a big bag.

Magill relaxed, staring at the young man distrustfully. "This is the guide you are looking for, and he is too young, I don't think he is an adult. ”

The young man looked warily at Magill with a fierce face, as if he was ready to flee from the sword-wielding fellows, and Tirin winked at Stan, who immediately pulled Magill aside and walked towards the young man with a smile. "Hello, we are knights from Canrito, and for some reason we have to cross the Sweet Rainforest, and we hope to get your help. ”

The young man nodded warily, and Tirin patted him on the shoulder. "Something happened to the guide I was looking for, so he couldn't come in person, this young man is his son, his name is Wright, and he will take us through the rainforest. ”

"What!?" Magill jumped up again. "Something happened to him, he couldn't come, I don't want to put my life in the hands of a little hairy child. ”

"His father was accidentally bitten by a poisonous snake, they have an antidote, he will not be in danger of his life, but there is no way to come, but they do not want to say nothing, so they have to let Wright come, believe me, if it is not for the commitment to himself, his father will never let him lead the way for us, they are also taking a considerable risk. Tillin nodded at Wright, trying to encourage him.

Magill tries to have a seizure, but is pushed down by Stan. "Hello Wright, I'm Stan, that grumpy guy is Magill, don't worry, that's his temper, thank you so much for showing us the way. ”

Wright nodded stiffly, his skin tanned and red from years of exposure to the scorching sun, but he looked very healthy. "I will not fail my father's request. ”

Stan snorted and guttered at the food on the floor. "Let's get something to eat, when do we need to go, and where are we going to spend the night tonight?"

Wright glanced at the food, and didn't go over immediately, but answered Stan's question seriously, "It's about half a day's walk inside, there's a lumberjack's camp, you can spend the night there tonight, but it's the deepest part of the rainforest where there are lumberjacks, and then you'll have to think of something else, but don't worry, I've spent countless nights in the rainforest with my father since I was a child, and I'll arrange it." ”

Stan pats Wright on the shoulder appreciatively. "Very well, please help us get through here. ”

Wright nodded vigorously, with a serious expression.
