Chapter 43: Moonlight Lake
After another three days, the three of Sayles, who were walking through the jungle, suddenly noticed a glimmer of light in front of them. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
After passing through a dense layer of bushes, the long-lost sunlight sprinkled unscrupulously on the three of them from the sky, but Sails and the others, who had not been exposed to direct sunlight for a long time, were very uncomfortable.
Nivea covered her eyes with her hands, pointed ahead, and suddenly shouted, "Look! Sails, Stinky Dwarf, the sea, we are on the shore." ”
"Sure enough, it's the sea, it's so comfortable sun, and Uncle Brass is about to get moldy! The copper hammer opened its arms, as if to give a warm hug to the long-lost sunshine.
Sayles looked at it and was equally pleased, after all, the days of walking through the jungle were not dangerous, but they were definitely uncomfortable.
However, Sayles's joy only lasted for a moment.
According to the speed of the three of them, if they want to reach the south coast of the Elven Continent, it will take at least a month. But less than ten days have passed since the departure from Elven Bay.
Sayles didn't think that the three of them would burst out more than three times as many miracles in this thriving forest.
Thinking of this, Sayles suddenly came up with a terrible answer: he went in the wrong direction.
Twitching the corner of his mouth, Sayles put one hand on his forehead and said, "Damn, we should be going in the wrong direction." If I'm not mistaken, what we see in front of us is not the sea at all, but the holy lake of the Elven Continent, the Moonlight Lake. ”
No wonder the three of them got lost. Those who have been in the mountains should know that in the mountains and forests, you can't go in a straight line, and you are always looking for trees that suddenly appear on the route. Directions are usually determined by the sun and the stars. Of course, veteran mountain miners will have their own unique skills in discerning directions, such as tree canopies.
Sayles had always begged for food at sea, and had never had the experience of navigating through the jungle, let alone the primeval jungle of this obscuration of the sky and the sun, even the sun and stars for discernment.
It stands to reason that the copper hammer with an extraordinary racial talent for prospecting and mining should have a very good sense of direction, but when the copper hammer is at home, he is a well-known idler in the tribe, basically the kind of dwarf who can eat, drink, and grow meat, but can't work.
Nivea can't even be mentioned, she has lived on Mage Island since she was a child, and the geographical location of Mage Island, applied to Nivea's body, basically fully interprets the meaning of "frog at the bottom of the well".
"Shouldn't all the sea be as far as the eye can see?" asked Brass Hammer stupidly.
Sayles didn't take care of the copper hammer, and kept sighing in his heart, not afraid of the dwarf's big hammer, but afraid that the dwarf was uneducated.
Nivea looked at the brass hammer with disdain, and said, "In the future, when you have nothing to do, read more books, even if you listen to the stories told by those bards." Lake Apollos at the junction of the Kingdom of Wilante and the Kingdom of Oder, Lake Remans on the Remans Peninsula, and Moonlight Lake on the Elven Continent are all the kind that you call 'endless', among them, the area of Apollos Lake is almost equivalent to two-thirds of the area of the Elven Continent. ”
The copper hammer nodded as if he didn't understand, and said, "The little girl knows a lot, I'm very pleased." ”
Nivea, who was praised by the copper hammer, exploded in an instant: "Who is the little girl, besides, this is all common sense!
The brass hammer didn't bother with Nivea, and smirked to himself, not knowing what funny things came to mind.
At this time, Sails touched his chin and said with a little hesitation: "I heard that Moonlight Lake is a sacred place for the elven clan, and basically it will not be approached by outsiders. Why did we come to the shore of Moonlight Lake by mistake......?
At this time, someone in the bushes not far away continued: "Because the elves who are guarding have been put down, I advise you to leave quickly." ”
"Who?" Sayles exclaimed, and the three of them instantly found their place and stood still, ready to respond at any time.
After the sound of the bushes squirming, a man with black hair and black eyes came out of it. The man's eyes were as deep as the night sky, as if they had some kind of magic, and the watchers were unconsciously caught in them.
"Don't be nervous...... My name is Qi Tai and I'm a ...... Well, he's a bard. ”
......
About a month ago, Qi Tai, dressed as a bard, set foot on the southern coast of the Elven Continent.
After leaving the town of Ste in the Oder Kingdom, Qi Tai headed west, first to Versailles, the capital of the Oder Kingdom, and then upstream from the Zhanlan River, through the rain-sheltered canyons of the Hengduan Mountains, to the Legtimis Dynasty.
After appreciating the prosperity of Mead, the capital of the Legtimis Dynasty, Qi Tai immediately set off to Yongming Harbor, took a boat through Io Island, and finally came to the Elven Continent.
The so-called reading 10,000 books is better than traveling 10,000 miles. Along the way, Qi Tai is like a sponge, constantly absorbing the knowledge of the history and customs of this world. In his spare time, Qi Tai digested the perception of the rules of fate given by Stara in his mind.
Qi Tai feels that he has confirmed a truth: with an old driver leading the way, there will be fewer detours and fewer troubles.
When Qi Tai arrived at Yongming Harbor, he faintly felt a mysterious power at work, and after using tortoise shell divination to no avail, Qi Tai took out the crystal ball that Stara had left for him.
In accordance with the method of use left by Star, Qi Tai kept rubbing the crystal ball with his hand, and closed his eyes to perceive it with his spiritual power.
Several images flashed quickly in Qi Tai's mind, and since it was the first time he used it, after opening his eyes, Qi Tai tried to recall, but he could only recall a complete picture, as well as three very vague phantoms.
Qi Tai was very surprised by this.
"Oriental divination is like a missing person notice without a photograph, and although the method of describing physical characteristics in words is abstract, it can clearly tell whether it is seeking revenge, collecting debts, seeking relatives or seeking children. Western divination, on the other hand, is a missing person notice with only a photographic image, although I don't know why I am looking for someone, but it can give people a very intuitive impression. ”
Secretly comparing the methods of divination in the East with those in the West, he found that what came out of the West was completely useless! Because Qi Tai didn't know whether the ship in the picture was beneficial or harmful to him, and he didn't know anything at all when he saw whether the ship was running or sticking up!
