Chapter 490: Entering the Holy Land Forest (Part I)
The druid, wearing a hood of eagle feathers, departed, and flew into the air in the form of a falcon, flying in a direction away from the sacred forest, and gradually disappearing from everyone's view.
I should have given this wolf cub to the druid, who might be able to take better care of the unconscious little fellow, at least better than us outsiders. Barrett withdrew her gaze from the air, a hint of regret in her heart.
What prompted him to keep the young werewolf? Barrett himself didn't know. Probably because of the fear in the young wolf's eyes before he fell unconscious, if the hooded man was really worth trusting, the little one wouldn't have chosen to run towards him.
It may also be because of an unintentional remark that Grove the bear man once said when introducing himself, "We beast people all have different degrees of 'beast intuition' talents, and this special intuition cannot be described in words, but it can keep us away from some imperceptible dangers." ”
At the time, the bear man proudly said, "Bestials in their infancy are extremely sensitive to this instinct, and in adulthood, they will inevitably become sluggish." Unless, you've been in the wilderness, honing this talent with danger. ”
'Imperceptible danger,' Barrett recalled, the darkness beneath the hood of the mysterious man. There are many adventurers who like to hide their faces in the shadows, and there are especially many assassins and thieves, but druids ......
"Alright, let's keep walking, our destination is right in front of you. The little mage clapped his hands, "Anyway, you've gained a lot from this trip." Krees pointed to the wolf cub in the brute's arms, "Not only did you get a wife...... , I mean a lover, and I just picked up a son of this age. ”
"Huh, envious?" Barrett retorted casually.
"The former, yes, I admit that there is a little bit in my heart. The little mage turned to look at the brute and flew backwards without a beat, "I'm just a little strange, why is no one looking down on a young and promising young man like me? To be honest, I don't like kids, they're too noisy for me to stand. ”
I don't like it either, but this little guy came to the door on his own, and I couldn't turn it away.
"Bet a thousand gold coins, if Mage Krees openly reveals that he wants to find his other half, I guarantee that the noble girl who is interested in this will line up from the Elven Holy Land all the way to the Vengeful Spear Fortress, and I will lose even half a meter. Merchant Ariel said.
"Then you're doomed. The little mage grinned, "No matter how many nobles in the Holy Araso Kingdom are, no matter how bloated they are, there are not so many of them, if you really line up, it would be nice to be able to get to Sweet Sugar Cane Village." As for the nobility in the other kingdoms and city-states, the sum of them is only equal to the number of this country. ”
"If that happens, I'm willing to lose the coins. The merchant said, "Even if you only go to the sweet sugar cane village, it will be enough, and it will be quite lively." ”
"Forget it, no matter how much there is, it doesn't really matter. Krees looked into the distance, "Because those people, no matter how refined their looks and elegant temperament are, they are not the people you love deeply."
......
Barrett and the others walked forward unhindered, and it took about a meal to reach the edge of the sacred forest. Just as they were about to enter the forest, an arrow shot from the forest stopped them from moving forward.
The arrow was stuck diagonally on the ground less than a meter away from the crowd, and it was very shallow, and it was clear that the person who shot the arrow did not use too much force. The tail feathers of the arrow were half black and half white, and at the very end were engraved three elven characters that Barrett could not read. If he was not mistaken, the three elven characters should be the names of the archers.
"Who are you, and why are you here?" a high-pitched voice followed the arrow into the ears of the crowd.
The sound was not too far away from the crowd, and seemed to be near the border of the forest. But when Barrett looked in the direction of the arrows and the sound into the forest, he saw nothing but the leaves swaying gently in the breeze.
"I am the mage Krees Bryan, and I am here on behalf of the Magic Guild, and I want to present the Guild and pay my respects to the great Elven Queen. The little mage took out the 'Calesar Emblem' and shook it in the direction of the forest, "This is my companion 'Barrett', the other two are the merchant Ariel and his bodyguard Red Crab who are traveling along the way, and the bear man 'Grove' who met in the Hanhai Meadows. He introduced everybody.
"I'm Ariel, a traveling merchant, and I've visited the Sanctuary Forest many times before. The elegant elves are my most honored guests, and I have come for the same purpose this time. With a solemn face, the merchant took out his elven token, an armband made of metal vines with a pair of small, sharp antlers on it.
As soon as Ariel's voice fell, several elven archers in gray-green leather armor stepped out of the forest. It was as if they had passed through a film that was indistinguishable to the naked eye, appearing out of thin air at the edge of the forest.
'Mystery Barrier', a term popped into Barrett's mind. He had previously encountered a similar large enchantment with the master of magic, the dwarf mage Theodore Shinkling, in search of the ownerless magic tower, and had embarked on a magical and eerie adventure inside.
The word 'Lost Lock' is derived from the transliteration of the Elven language, and in itself it represents a powerful enchantment that is very widespread and extremely effective.
Because in the beginning, among all the intelligent races, only elves could weave such enchantments that were so powerful that they even had consciousness by virtue of their superb magical attainments. It's just that after the magic web was torn, the elves could no longer create new chains, and could only repair on the basis of the original barriers.
Later, when the human mage applied this word, in order to make it easier for others to understand, he added the word 'enchantment' to the end of the word for annotation.
In fact, from another point of view, the magic net itself can also be seen as a powerful enchantment woven by the gods with unique functions.
Six or seven elves came out of the mystical barrier of the elven holy land, and the elf led by him was tall and thin, with a pair of light gray eyes, and a face with the usual indifference of the elven clan.
He first walked over to the arrow on the ground, stretched out his hand to pull it up, and put it back in the quiver behind him, and then came to the crowd and carefully examined the emblem in the little mage's hand and the armband token in the merchant's hand.
After seeing this, the gray-eyed elf nodded to the other people behind him, and when he turned his head to face the group again, the indifference on his face softened a lot.
That's the role of prestige in these races and forces, Barrett thought to herself. The merchant's prestige was accumulated little by little by himself, while the little mage borrowed directly from the guild.
"My name is Adelan, and I'm a member of the 'Ancient Tree Guards'. The elf smiled and said to the group, "Although this is not the best time for guests to visit, we welcome you to our holy place, 'Lothllorin'." ”
