Chapter Eighty-Six: The Hidden Road

There was no obvious path for Fern and his team to walk on Blackridge Mountain, so the group had to look for a way into the mountain at the foot of the mountain, but after walking along the foot of the mountain for half a day, there was still no gain, and seeing that half of the day had been wasted, Enoch became anxious again. "I said, Nigel, can you try your wand again? ”

"So close to what I tried yesterday, I don't think it would be any different. Still, the mage took out his wand and plunged into the rubble, then closed his eyes and lips began to open and close rapidly.

There was a brief silence, the wand still not moving, Enoch cursed in a dejected whisper, and Fern shook his head helplessly. At this moment, a gust of wind blew from the mountain for no apparent reason, and then, the wand reacted, and after shaking a few times, it fell in a northwesterly direction. "It's!

"I don't have to look at the wand I know there's a reaction, you see!" Miruria raised her hand and pointed in the northwest direction, her eyes full of shock.

I saw that in the direction of the scout, a black dot was gradually getting bigger, and everyone stood and watched for a few seconds, and they could already faintly see the flapping wings.

"It's a dragon, hell, find a place to hide!" Fern shouted, pulling up the mage who was crouching on the ground to check his wand, and followed Miruria behind a large rock.

The strong wind continued to blow, and everyone leaned against the stone to stabilize their bodies, and then the sound of the huge wings flapping reached everyone's ears, like the sound of a huge sail on a ship blown by the wind. Fern lowered his weight and looked up at the sky from the back of the stone. The sound drew closer, and a large figure flew over their heads, shadows cast on the ground completely obscuring them. No one dared to make any sound, so they could only stand still and watch the dragon's back move farther and farther away from them, and finally disappear into the southern sky.

"Hell, is that a dragon? how can we burrow into their lair and risk their wrath to destroy their eggs?" Enoch finally recovered, and sat down on the rocks.

"Yes, Nigel, did Adeline tell you anything? I don't think it's possible for the four of us to destroy the eggs under the noses of these dragons, and there are ten ......more demons," Fern didn't want to say any more.

"Maybe when we get to the dragon's lair, we'll find that it's not as bad as we thought. Nigel didn't seem worried, and slowly hung his wand back to his waist.

"What if we find the lair and find out that the demons and dragons are waiting for us?" Enoch almost erupted.

"I can't give you an answer right now, but I beg you to believe that since Adeline has given this task to the four of us, there must be a way for us to complete the task successfully. Nigel looked around the rocks and looked at the mountain to the northwest. "I'm very reluctant to get involved in this, but I have no doubt that anything Adeline does is justified. ”

"Maybe her reason is that she wants us to die. "Enoch is still on fire, and he can't care about the respect for the great sage.

"I don't think she'll let me die with you, she's only an apprentice like me. Nigel clasped his hands together and turned his head sideways to look at the warrior.

"Alright, that's enough, now that the wand is pointing the way, let's go northwest, and most of the day has passed, and I guess it's almost dark when we find our way into the mountains, and we'll have to find a place to spend the night." Fern looked into the northwest sky to make sure no second dragon had flown from there.

Enoch didn't speak again, he packed his bags and followed the mercenary, and Miruria quickly ran to the front of the two to explore the way, but after a while, the scout's figure disappeared from the eyes of the two, and the mage still followed leisurely behind, not in a hurry at all.

The crowd had walked several miles west at the foot of the mountain, and just as Enoch was about to explode again, the scout who had been exploring the way ahead quickly ran back, with an excited look on his face. "Almost a mile further on, there was an inconspicuous fork in the road, which was covered by a large rock, and I tried to climb up the stone to look at it, and the fork behind it, though small, was bottomless. ”

"Very well, it seems that this is it. Enoch pounded excitedly with both hands. "Thank you, Miruria. ”

The scout's face flushed in flattery. "I didn't ...... It's nothing. ”

Fern coughed twice and rushed to the front alone. "I'll go take a look, you just take your time, let Miruria rest, and wait for Nigel by the way. ”

The scout glanced at the mercenary gratefully, then slowly walked over to the warrior. "It's a little hot after running so far. The girl tried to talk to the warrior in a rusty way.

"Don't take off your cloak, it's cold here, and if you take it off and get blown by the mountain wind, you're going to get sick. Enoch looked at the girl's flushed face and felt his heart beat faster.

As she spoke, Miluria's feet suddenly slipped, and she stumbled to the side, and Enoch hurriedly subconsciously helped her. "What's wrong, it's okay. ”

"The gravel is so slippery, I may have run too fast and my feet are ......a little soft," the scout said as he raised his head, and for a moment the girl's gaze met the warrior's, both of them froze, as if something was attracting each other, the girl slowly leaned towards the warrior, and Enoch helped Miruria to slowly bring her face closer to the girl, and the two faces were only a fist apart.

"I said you don't want to find a way, why don't you make out here?" Nigel's voice came from behind.

Enoch straightened up, clutching the hair on the back of his head. "We've found an entrance, Fern has gone to scout first, and we're here waiting for you to come along. Miruria bowed her head and blushed silently.

"Hmph. Nigel smiled as he walked past the two of them. "Adeline shouldn't have sent you here, she should have let you stay in Valdosta and enjoy the two-person world. ”

"I'm sorry, we just ......," Enoch tried to plead, but realized that he didn't know what to say.

Nigel waved his hand ahead. "I don't need to explain, I'm not much older than you, understandable. ”

The warrior patted the scout on the back and caught up with the mage. "By the way, Nigel, I'm curious, how old are you?"

"Bigger than you, I'm guessing bigger than Fern. Nigel shook his head thoughtfully. "Fern is older than you. ”

"To be honest, I don't know how old Fern is, but he seems to be older than me. Enoch thought with a frown.

"I thought you were friends who talked about everything. Nigel glanced at the warrior with some surprise.

"Friends who talk about everything......" Enoch mused, looking ahead.

By the time the three of them arrived at the big rock that the scout had mentioned, Fern had been waiting there for a while. "If you don't come again, I'll have to go in by myself. ”

"Don't worry, Fern, if you want to hurry, you can't get there. Nigel leisurely held out his hand and pressed it to the stone, and the others looked at the mage in surprise, waiting for what he would do next. But he just sighed and withdrew his hand. "No, this stone is too big, and my mana is not enough to push it. ”

Fern nearly fell to the ground. "Nobody expects you to push it, we'll just crawl over it. The mercenary took a few steps forward and pointed to the stacked stones beside him. "I've just moved a few rocks, we can step on them and climb over them, I've climbed them, and the back is indeed the way to the mountain, as Miruria said, and we are running out of time, so we must go into the mountain today, and then find a cave to spend the night. ”

Nigel looked up at the rock, which was taller than the others. "I'm afraid...... I couldn't climb over it. ”

"Won't you just use the flying technique?" Enoch gave the mage a strange look, and in a few steps stepped on the stone that Fern had piled up, and jumped on the big rock with a strong leap.

"yes, I didn't think of that!" Nigel patted his head, recited a spell in his mouth, and in a few moments flew up the stone and stood beside the warrior. "That's a good idea. ”

"I don't think you're so old, why are you so forgetful, you even forgot your own magic. Enoch held the rickety mage.

"I have so much to think about, and as an archmage, I can't let my mind stagnate. Nigel stood firm and looked behind the stone, his brow furrowed.

Fern told Miruria to jump on the rocks first, and then he was the last to follow. "You're an archmage? Why aren't you wearing a mage robe that symbolizes your status as an archmage? And you don't look very old. ”

"Archmage is just a title, I don't care at all, besides, there are people younger than me who are already archmages. Nigel was about to jump off the rock, but was grabbed by the warrior, and the mage looked back at the warrior before it dawned on him. "Oh, yes, I could fly down, I forgot. ”

Fern was about to jump after him, but was stopped by Enoch. "Do you think he's reliable? I think we're in a dangerous situation. The warrior glanced worriedly at the mage standing below moving his hands and feet.

"There's no going back now. Fern shrugged. "But from my previous experience, the more abnormal the mage, the stronger his mana, have you forgotten to chant people?"

Enoch raised his eyebrows and touched his beard with a straight face. "Hopefully, as you say, I don't want to give my life to this desolate place. ”

Fern glanced at Miruria knowingly, and jumped off the stone. "We'll go back safely. ”
