Chapter 64: Ships Away on the Horizon
In the afternoon, thunder flashes in the sky, and the waves wash the beach, and the bright red waters of the nearby sea are gradually washed away by the wind and waves as the wind and waves on the sea continue to crash.
Dennis looked at the cloudy sky with a heavy face, the drizzle of hair falling on his tattered butler's clothes, and as the sound of thunder grew louder and denser, the old butler knew that a great storm was coming.
And the knights, who had not found the ship for a while, were no longer able to go out to sea to chase the trail of the young man.
With a babbling sound, the carriage door behind the old butler was pushed open, and the aristocratic maiden rubbed her hazy eyes and carefully stepped on the dirt with a dizzy mind.
"We... Where is this?" Although the cloudy weather obscured the sun's rays, but the eyes were not well adapted to the light outside the forest when they came out of the dim environment, the girl slowly and carefully opened her eyes, tears like pearls swirling beside her sockets, and asked the old butler in confusion.
The headache felt like a force was constantly tearing her head, and she remembered that before she fell unconscious, she used the 'Holy Wall' on Dennis to forcibly block Qianjue's arrows, and the consequence was that her mental strength was overloaded, and Eve, who couldn't bear the tearing sensation at that time, immediately fell unconscious.
In retrospect, I was too impulsive at the time, and if I was not careful, I would never be able to use the 'miracle' again, and at worst, I would have become a fool with a low IQ.
"It's outside the forest. The old butler looked at the pirate ship that was gradually moving away on the horizon, and said without emotion.
"Beyond the forest, which means we're out of the Forest of Silent Death?" the girl was a little surprised, "According to legend, after entering that forbidden land, shouldn't you be trapped forever and unable to get out?"
"That's just for the average person. The old butler turned to face Eve, and he stretched out one hand, letting go of the palm he had been holding, and a small broken stone lay quietly on his palm, "But it is not difficult for us to use it to escape the forbidden land. ”
I saw that the gravel in the palm of the old butler's hand was deep and dark, and the white light and stars were imprinted on the gravel everywhere, as beautiful as reflecting the starry sky in the dark night.
"Is this, 'Starry Sky Fragments'?!" Eve exclaimed, "You used it to forcibly teleport us out?"
Dennis nodded silently and said, "Yes, Miss." Before we set off, our hostess, your mother, was worried that something might happen to you on this journey, so she gave me this little stone. ”
"And from the results so far, it seems that this little rock has saved our lives. The old butler pinched the gravel in his hand, and the stone shattered like mud and sand, turning into 'fragments of the starry sky' like broken sand, which blew through his palm with the wind and drifted into the distance.
"I... Hearing this, the girl turned to look, and the tattered knights in front of her sat on the ground tiredly, compared to when they first entered the forbidden land, the number of knights at this time was no more than a third.
"Only we survive to make it out of the forbidden land?" Eve asked anxiously, "what happened to those Dongyuan people?"
The old butler looked at Eve quietly, and finally shook his head.
"The group of Dongyuan people did not succeed in making it out of the 'Forest of Silent Death', and all but the young man died in the forest. ”
As for the young man, he burst his heart at the last moment, using his bloodline skills to forcibly break through the space and get out of the forbidden place. ”
"But how long can he live without a heart?" the old butler sighed as he looked at the looted seaside village in the distance.
For a moment, a feeling of weakness filled her body, and the girl knelt to the ground weakly, but was immediately supported by the old housekeeper, and the feeling of fear, powerlessness, unease, and despair filled her heart.
"One last thing I would like to confirm with you. The girl clasped the old butler's arm and asked him tremblingly, "That young man... What happened in the end?"
"He... Alive. The old butler hesitated for a moment, then said, "I don't know what kind of method he used to get out of the forbidden place alive." ”
"How... Could it be that he also owns the 'Starry Sky Fragment'?" Eve looked at Dennis and asked urgently, her originally dead eyes recovering from her eyes, "But the 'Starry Sky Fragment' is extremely rare in the world, and most of them are in the hands of the wealthy nobles of the West Pole Continent, even the famous Confucius cannot have it. So how the hell is he...?"
"Indeed, at that time, Charlotte did not use a divine object similar to the 'Starry Sky Fragment', and he could not have the ability to break through space. If you take these factors out, there is only one possibility left. The old butler clearly remembered that at that time, Charlotte held the green light tightly, and then stuffed it into the wolf spirit's mouth, and finally the green light soared and swallowed everyone, but fortunately, Dennis used the artifact in his arms in time to lead the knights to escape, otherwise he would have died in the forest.
That is, the boy used the right method to successfully crack the forbidden land and get out of it alive. ”
"For thousands of years, no one in the world has managed to escape the forbidden land without the ability to break through space or the help of a fetish, and the one who broke this routine was actually a teenager who was in a hurry to escape. ”
"You should know what that means, right?" Dennis asked Eve with deep meaning.
Eve's mental power gradually recovered, and she sorted out all the information about the forbidden land in her mind, and said after a while, "This means that the 'forbidden land' is no longer a forbidden place, and a large number of adventurers and mercenaries will enter it to win wealth and treasure for the treasure hidden in the forbidden land, even if it is their own life, at any cost." ”
"That's right, miss, you're right. If this news spreads, tens of millions of lives will die in the Forbidden Lands, for the ethereal treasure of wealth. ”
"As long as there is such a possibility, even if it is one in ten thousand, greedy people will swarm like moths to fire, and when there are a large number of strong mercenaries, it will be a disaster for mankind. ”
"And the Bloodclan will bite this opportunity tightly..."
“... Devour us in one go. ”
Bloodline. Eve in the Church is too familiar with this name, hiding in the crowd and darkness, waiting for the best opportunity to give the world true darkness.
"So, where is the young man?" Eve asked Dennis as she took a deep breath and hid the uneasy memory.
"The moment I walked out of the forest, I used the demon to detect the boy's life and death, but the demon miraculously led me here. Unfortunately, when I looked at the looted village, I knew it was too late. The old butler pointed to the distant pirate ship that was fading away on the horizon, and said, "He's on that ship." ”
"How... Is there no way?" the girl once again felt a sense of hopeless powerlessness, for she knew that as long as Charlotte did not agree to and sign the dissolution contract, the marriage contract would always be valid.
This means that she will lose the opportunity to become a saint, or become the first saint in history to have a marriage contract and be despised and ridiculed by the world, and this shame will stay with her for the rest of her life.
The old butler closed his eyes and shook his head silently, and the girl let go of her hands and fell to her knees in despair, tears the size of raindrops falling to the ground in the wind.
"Miss, things have exceeded our expectations, let's go back and discuss with the master again. Dennis sighed, "There may be a chance for the church to turn around." ”
Eve, who was half-kneeling on the ground, nodded weakly, and had no choice but to accept the old butler's proposal.
Half an hour later, the Knights were ready to go, and Eve was back in the carriage, tired and asleep.
The moment before boarding the carriage, Dennis looked at the pirate ship that had disappeared on the horizon, his eyes flashed with deep emotion, and finally entered the carriage and closed the carriage door, calling for the knights to leave.
The forest returned to its former tranquility, and it was as if no one knew what was happening.
