Tarrant glared at the soldier in a hurry and asked loudly, "Are you leaving or missing?"

The two soldiers looked at each other, and one of them replied: "He's missing, no, before leaving, he said that he was going to go to find his teammates, Garfield, but he didn't say the exact time, and then suddenly one day, he didn't go back to the church, he had very few things with him, so there was nothing left in the church room, I don't know if he packed up and left, or ...... What else. ”

"Didn't you say anything on the last day before leaving?"

The soldier snorted, "No, no greeting anyone." ”

Adrian is a very literate person, and it is impossible to leave quietly without saying hello after living here for so long, the situation is not good, could it be that he has suffered the same thing as Garfield...... Tarrant asked again, "Garfield, do they have any news?"

The two soldiers pouted helplessly, "Evaporated." ”

Hearing the news of his friend's disappearance and unable to help, Tarrant's expression was gloomy, and Rex reminded on the side: "You can't do anything about these things, it's already three o'clock, and you don't have time to contact the balance messenger at night." ”

He was right, he could only put down the matter here first to solve the problem of Cuilin Mountain, Tarrant pointed to the war horse and said to the soldiers: "These three are the war horses of Nai'an Town, raise you here." ”

The soldier took the reins of his horse, "Okay, I'll tell him when the captain comes back later that you've been looking for you." ”

That doesn't matter anymore, Mark doesn't have the decision, Warren is in charge.

Tarrant walked south, past the low-rise buildings, and could see the undulating green mountain belt at the junction of heaven and earth, the Green Forest Mountains.

The Turvern Mountains are the longest mountain range on the Redstone Continent, starting from the Gonzas Empire, across the southern border of the Serenzo, connecting to Comohe, and entering the peaceful, tranquil land of the southeast corner of all peaks, the famous Tinwald Mountain is one of the peaks of the Trellin Mountains. A large number of druids inhabit this area, and it is home to the highest concentration of redstone balance emissaries, but this is only a concept, as the mountains themselves are already larger than the Serenzo Empire, and the druids are the "residents" who live here.

It would take a day's drive to get to the place marked on the map, which was still in the territory of Serenso, but there were no troops or guards in that area, there were no resources available in the mountains, and the empire would not waste manpower and material resources here, it was all up to the spontaneous maintenance of rangers and druids, so what to do there had to be agreed by these people.

The three of them walked out of Watt Town, and traveled through the vast farmland outside the town, and Katrina broke off a green branch on the side of the road and shook it boringly, "Why don't we go over on a war horse, it will be much faster." ”

Rex walked ahead and ignored it, and Tarrant explained: " There are many reasons, first, there is no road after entering the Cuilin Mountain, and it is easy for the war horse to run wild and hit the protruding branches or trip, so we can only lead the way, second, the sound of the war horse is uncontrollable, and they will cause big trouble when they need to be quiet, third, when they encounter wild beasts or are attacked, the war horse will trample on the people around them because of fright, fourth, if we don't meet the balance messenger in time, then we can only sleep on the grass tonight, you will find out how troublesome they are, and finally, there is the most important reason" Tarrant laughed mischievously, "Guess what. ”

Katrina ran her fingers around the end of her hair, "Because of their drinking problems?"

"No, there are streams in the forest, that's not the key reason, grass isn't a problem, you can think from the organization we're looking for. "Tarrant couldn't be happier.

Rex, who was in front, looked back at the two of them and continued to walk in silence alone.

The mage tossed the branch into the farmland, "Balance bringer, will the warhorses upset the peace of the woods?"

"No, they don't averse to sounds from nature, they love animals, they are friends with them, whether it's rabbits or wolves, it's all within the scope of protection, in fact, that's a hint, it's almost the answer. ”

The mage thought about it carefully and gave up, "What the hell is the reason?" ”

"I said, druids like animals, even rats, bears, anything", Tarrant deliberately stopped, looking at the mage, the hint still didn't work, he revealed the answer: "War horses are also animals, understand?"

"So ......" Catrina struggled to burst out the word, without a follow-up.

"So we can't ride horses! Imagine how you would feel when you saw me sitting on Rex? Would you like to see your friends trampled on, disgusted by animal cruelty. ”

Rex turned his head and said seriously, "Don't tell me about it, I have nothing to do with it." ”

"I'm just giving her an analogy," Tarrant grinned.

The mage finally understood, "That makes sense, then...... If we happen to trample a mouse to death when we meet the Balancer, will it cause unnecessary conflict?"

She was a curious student, and Tarrant could only explain seriously, "Maybe I didn't use the right words just now, the druid's affection for animals is not liking, but out of ...... The delicate balance needs, they admit the original ecological things in nature, and aversion the things created by humans, so the birth, aging, sickness and death of animals will not cause them to be sad, and they will not help when they see wolves chasing rabbits, this is the law of natural survival, it doesn't matter if the mouse is unintentionally trampled to death, but the production behavior of captive cattle and pigs, training war horses, hunting wild animals and other services for human beings will cause them to be extremely disgusted. ”

"Why do druids think that humans shouldn't be the end of the food chain?"

Tarrant shook his hand and said, "Everyone's thinking space is different, don't try to read everyone, just as we can tolerate the Storm Knights, and the crooked notions of the druids are acceptable." ”

Storm Knight coughed in front.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry," Tarrant caught up with Rex, "At this rate, we won't necessarily be able to reach the peak tonight." ”

"Talk less, walk more. ”

Sounds like an ascetic practice.

The farmland on both sides was thinning, and the grass appeared on the path they were traveling, and a farmer stood in the field next to him with a hoe, and a straw hat woven from the branches pressed half of his face, and he stopped what he was doing and looked at the three men on the road.

There were very few strangers in Watt Town, and even fewer in this direction, so the farmer took off his straw hat and fanned the wind, "Knights, there will be no one to go any further." ”

The zealous farmer was worried that the stranger would go in the wrong direction, and Tarrant replied, "Let's go to Mt. Tree." ”

"It's not a quiet place at night, you have to be prepared, torches, weapons," the farmer laughed sheepishly.

"Thanks, we'll be careful. ”

The farmer wiped the sweat from his forehead, put on a straw hat, and continued to hoe.

Walking through the farmer's field, there is no trace of human society again, a large green area, growing clusters of half-human-high wildflowers, gorgeous butterflies flying around the flowers, the breeze blows, the flowers lean over to spill the fragrance, the whole area looks very pure.

Katrina ran excitedly, "What a beautiful place!" She had never seen such a large area of natural vegetation.

This vegetation, often referred to by the farmer as "weeds", Tarrant did not find anything pretty, and he scanned the area to see the sound of Siso in the flowers, some kind of small animal, probably a burrowing marmot.

Farmers don't like them, first, they like to eat what they grow, corn, peas, etc., and second, they dig the whole farmland full of small holes as an exit to the house, and passers-by are easy to step into and get their feet if they are not careful.

Tarrant shouted to the mage who was trotting all the way ahead, "Katrina, watch your step. ”

The mage let out a "yes" and ran to a cluster of wildflowers to smell the flowers.

The wildflowers were ordinary plants, and Tarrant Tongguò's first glance was enough to discern which of the scene in front of him was potentially threatening, and there was nothing to watch out for in this area, and he strode towards Katrina.

In another place the top of the flower shook slightly, there was a creature moving below, from the magnitude and length of the shaking, it should be a snake, Tarrant pulled out his sword to slow down, the snake can detect the temperature, it has already spotted Caterina, at this time to be quiet, some snakes will choose to attack humans when frightened, and this type is usually poisonous snakes.

The mage still looked down and sniffed the flowers, not noticing a possible threat, Tarrant approached her and tapped the ground with the tip of his sword, "Watch out below." ”

Katrina looked back at the knight quizzically, "What?"

Tarrant pointed his finger at the shaking flowers, and they moved in a trajectory that was approaching the two of them, and a black fast-swimming foreign object could be faintly seen under the green grass.

"Snake!" Catrina took a step back, the twisted, ugly animal, threatening or not, always giving the first impression of fear.

Tarrant had already seen that it was not a poisonous snake, and his greatsword swept against the grass with a loud noise, and the reptiles on the ground immediately turned around and fled, it was even more afraid of people.

"How can there be a snake?" Catrina patted her chest, her heart was beating fast, she hadn't seen a snake in a long time, she had seen it occasionally in the slums before, she had never been to the slums since she grew up, and she had never seen a snake again, and she was startled by the photo just now.

"Wet, grassy, rocky, hidden, why is there no snake in such a good place", Tarrant patted her on the shoulder and said mysteriously, "This is not Siant, be careful with every step." He took a step forward, his body slanted suddenly, and with his quick reaction he balanced his body in time, although he didn't make a fool of himself, his foot twisted a little, it was no big deal, there was a pit under his feet.

Katrina laughed out loud and was in a much better mood.

"I'm just showing you," Tarrant stomped his foot hard, covering the surrounding dirt over the damn pit.

"This way", Rex in the back pointed in the other direction.

"Shouldn't we do our best to find the Balance Messenger?" said the messenger was in the forest, walking a little more in the direction of Rex.

Rex walked in that direction, "Part of my body is left there, it's time to get it back." ”
