In the forest of skulls at dusk, you can't feel the color of the sunset. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
Everything was slowly darkening, gusts of wind blew through the thick fog, and the mist transformed into a thousand strange and strange shapes, as if skeletal faces were flickering beside Wang Ye and Qiao Jasmine.
The two men walked briskly among the dead trees, following the best route given by the pointer.
"Before I could ask, what did you come to the wilderness for? Joe Jasmine said as she walked.
"Not what I wanted to come. Wang Ye said bitterly: "I was banished. ā
"Banishment?" Joe Jasmine was stunned.
"You can think of it as a penalty for failing a trial mission. Wang Ye said: "Exile from time to time, I can't return to the capital city until the recitation of the ring does not give me the approval to return." We can't stay at night in Skull Forest, so we'll at least run to the Atonement Desert ahead before night falls completely, which is home to day-walking creatures and is relatively safe at night. ā
A look of excitement suddenly flashed on Qiao Jasmine's face: "That means you don't actually have a specific mission goal?"
"Sort of. Wang Ye casually picked up a piece of broken bone on the ground and sniffed it gently.
Ever since he opened the door in his memory, he had found that many small details would bring back some fragmented memories, including what he saw, heard, and even smelled.
Those images seem to be buried by something, and they need to rely on some medium to evoke memories.
"Hey, I said. Qiao Jasmine suddenly ran in front of Wang Ye and gently grabbed Wang Ye's arm with one hand.
"If I am willing to pay some fragments in return, would you like to go with me to my destination, and if we do find something, I can share some of the treasures we find. Qiao Jasmine's eyes flashed with a strange light, it was difficult to find a partner like Wang Ye who knew a lot about wilderness creatures.
Wang Ye narrowed his eyes slightly, in fact, he had long been very curious about the treasure map, but he knew very well that if he asked about the treasure map, Qiao Jasmine would probably be suspicious, and even prescribe all kinds of conditions.
So he has always shown no interest in the treasure map, but showed himself with actions, waiting for Jo Jasmine to take the initiative to invite him. In this way, the one who made the offer became him.
This is a very interesting phenomenon, a bit like human beings looking for a partner, as a boy blindly uses his time to hollow out his mind to pursue the girl, it is easy to be rejected, if you change your thinking, use the time to focus on improving your own value, the girl will sometimes stick it back.
"Then it depends on what price you offer?" Wang Ye said, "It's very expensive to hire me." ā
"That's the number!" Jo Jasmine gestured with a "one" gesture.
"Ten thousand fragments is too little. Wang Ye said disdainfully, thinking that the fragments he had obtained in any trial were as many as hundreds of thousands, and the risk of risking in this deserted death place was much greater than in the trial.
"Are you robbing the money......" Qiao Jasmine looked embarrassed: "I mean to say a thousand pieces." ā
"Ahem......" Wang Ye staggered: "It's not like this to send away the food." ā
"But I only have more than 2,000 pieces left in my hands now. Qiao Jasmine said helplessly: "I can't afford to pay for more." ā
Wang Ye looked her up and down, the weapons and equipment in her hands were quite good, but as a girl, the decorations were pitiful, and it seemed that she was indeed a little poor.
"Then I'll help you pay attention. Wang Ye smiled: "We use risk advances. ā
"What do you mean?" asked Jo Jasmine.
"With the treasures we may find as an advance, if we do eventually find something of value, then divide the thing fifty-fifty. Wang Ye said directly.
If you follow Wang Ye's previous habits, he is more like giving eighty-two or seventy-three points, and taking the lion's share. However, when he encountered the sickle bone bat just now, Qiao Jasmine's skills still made him very fond of him, so he changed his mind to become five five, a relatively fair distribution.
Qiao Jasmine hesitated slightly, and finally made up her mind: "Deal." ā
"Then sign the contract. Wang Ye opened the vow.
Just like when Wang Ye and Xiao Ye signed a death game contract, the city can bind each other through the contract, and if one party breaks the contract, they will be punished by the city.
Jo Jasmine also seems to be familiar with such things as contracts, and quickly completed the signing of contracts.
"Do you want to look at the map now?" Qiao Jasmine consciously opened the small scroll in her hand.
Don't look at the scroll when the range is very small, but when it is opened, it has an area of more than one square meter, the calligraphy and painting on it are very complex and detailed, looking forward to the past, as if looking at a world map with the style of Qingming Shanghe pictures.
The strange thing is that the words on it are all used in a special kind of script, and the common language recognition of the capital city cannot understand those words. The style of the text looks archaic, somewhat similar to a combination of oracle and cuneiform scripts.
"I've made some attempts to decipher these texts. Qiao Jasmine pointed to the headlines on several large plates on the map: "A map corresponding to the rumors of the rivers and lakes of the capital city is a map of the wilderness and the dead land, ...... here."
She drew a circle with her finger in an area of indigo: "This is where we are now, and these four words should be 'Skull Forest' or 'Skull Forest' or something like that." The Atonement Desert you mentioned is supposed to be on the west side of the Skull Forest, and the destination of our trip is ......."
He followed the line connecting the Forest of Skulls to the Atonement Desert all the way to the west. The path of the finger traverses the desert of the Atonement, crosses the symbol of the region in the shape of a hill, and finally lands on a symbol in the form of a building. On the east side of the center of the building's symbol, a square pattern can be seen vividly painted red.
"This is it!" she said, pointing to the red dot, "It's so clearly marked, and there's a small line written next to it, and I tried to decipher it." The three words involved in it roughly mean - tomorrow, discourse, legacy. So I thought ......"
Wang Ye narrowed his eyes slightly.
"Nope. He said softly, "They should be combined to mean a four-word word." ā
"Do you still know ancient characters?" Qiao Jasmine was even more surprised at this time, knowing that it took her a month to analyze these three words.
"I don't understand, it's just a guess. Wang Ye looked at the red square carefully, and then stood up: "Let's go, the sun will set soon." ā
