Chapter 14: The Journey of Atonement (4)

The weather is getting colder and colder, and you can see ice freezing everywhere every morning. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info valley when the rain curled up in the dragon's stomach package, shivering with cold.

What should I wear to keep out the cold? All the warm clothes that Catherine had prepared for herself were confiscated by Renesa last night, and now they are under her body, or covered with them.

Gu Shiyu kicked Ressa, who was sleeping at his feet, and shouted, "Get up, return your clothes to me." ”

Renesa clutched the clothes on her body and said in a daze: "No one is not allowed to get you up, you go to the forest to find something for breakfast, and return the clothes to you when I wake up." ”

Gu Shiyu was very helpless, so he had to continue to wear the stinky Ge Yi, plucked up the courage to drill out of the dragon's stomach package, and the upper and lower teeth bumped loudly. He can't take care of so much, and he puts the dragon king's divine power on his body, so that he can keep out the cold.

"You are only allowed to go barefoot. When the sun rises, bow down to the gods. ”

"Oh, what do you want for breakfast?" Gu Shiyu didn't bother to care so much.

"Just pick some wild fruits. ”

Gu Shiyu added some dry wood to the burning bonfire, and then ran into the forest. He was now looking forward to meeting a few foxes, or hibernating brown bears, whose fur was the best for keeping out the cold.

But the results disappointed him. The early bird has worms, but the rain in the valley is not the bird. He found a jujube tree, hit the trunk twice with the collision technique, then touched his head, and randomly picked up a bag of dried red dates and came back.

Renesa had woken up, still curled up in the mess of clothes. As soon as his eyes saw Gu Shiyu, he immediately shouted: "Who wants you to wear equipment?"

Gu Shiyu shook his head and said: "There are already a few holes in my kudzu robe, and wearing it will leak out in front of you, but I'm afraid it's a big inappropriateness and it looks extremely disrespectful to you." Of course, if you continue to insist, I will keep the agreement. ”

Gu Shiyu was about to take off his equipment, but Ruisa hurriedly shook his head and said, "Forget it, I don't want to see your light...... Bare ass!" said and laughed nonsense.

"I am afraid that the person who sets this rule is sick in the head. Think about it, who can stand it on such a cold day, wearing single clothes and barefoot? If someone freezes to death, he will also be guilty. ”

Ressa nodded sympathetically and said, "Okay, when you get to the Temple of Light, you can change your clothes back." By the way, you are going to worship the gods in the morning, have you worshipped?"

Gu Shiyu argued: "You see, the sky is full of dark clouds, and you can't even see the shadow of the sun. If I were to worship, I would worship not light and justice, but darkness and evil. ”

"How can you have so many reasons!" Resa stared at Gu Shiyu in a daze, not knowing whether to shake his head or nod.

The next afternoon, the two arrived in a lush valley. Look at the green, it is actually tender green, compared with the surrounding scenery, the scenery is unique here, as if it is always spring.

Ressa paused, looked at Gu Shiyu and said, "This is the Valley of Silence, the guardian is a dwarven old man named Crane, do you really know him?"

"Crane? Gu Shiyu shook his head.

"Oh no, he's going to hit someone later. Renesas looked nervous.

Gu Shiyu was very strange, what bad thing did Mo Ferretha do to provoke the old man?

A dwarven old man rushed out of the valley mouth, brandishing the double axe in his hand, and shouted: "Dead girl, do you still dare to come?

Renesas had already taken refuge behind Gu Shiyu. Gu Shiyu had no choice but to step forward and shouted happily: "Are you Crane? I heard Yolande talk about you, and he said that you are a great hero." ”

The old man glared and said, "Yolande, I don't know, I ask you, are you here to help the dead girl?"

Gu Shiyu was stunned in his heart, he didn't think that this dwarf didn't know Youland! He originally planned to get close to him first, and then ask him for a unicorn, but he didn't expect to get stuck in the shell. Fortunately, the reaction was relatively fast, and he quickly shook his head and said, "No, we came to you to ask for your help." ”

Crane looked Gu Shiyu up and down, and snorted: "One is a little liar full of lies, and the other is a villain. I think you two are born gangsters, and you didn't have any good intentions when you came here. Before I get angry, get out of here!"

Gu Shiyu scratched his head and said: "The mentor of the Hero Guild and Her Royal Highness Princess Catherine have said that you are the most righteous person, if you need anything, you can ask for help, and you will definitely not refuse, aren't they talking about you?"

"If the mentor and Her Royal Highness Princess Catherine ask me to borrow a unicorn for me, then I will definitely not refuse, because they are both great heroes, and they value their honor more than life, and they will definitely return it when they are used up. The little liar said that she was the daughter of Somla of the Temple of Light, and I believed her, and lent her a unicorn, but when I returned, she was already half dead!

Renesa still hid behind Gu Shiyu, grabbed his clothes tightly, and only poked his head out and said, "Grandpa Crane, didn't I send the divine beast back, why do you still want to beat me?"

"You sent it back? Hmph! You said you want to take good care of it, did you cherish it? Let me ask you, what is the matter with so many knife marks on it? Didn't you cut it and take blood?"

"Grandpa Crane, you know that there are many people in the nearby villages who have contracted the disease, and only the blood of the unicorn can cure it. ”

"You elves also have magic in their blood, why don't you cut yourself a few times to heal them?"

Renesas didn't dare to say anything. It's not that she hasn't thought about it, but every time she holds the knife and prepares to cut, she is afraid of pain.

"Grandpa Crane, in fact, whether it is a human or a divine beast, it is good to have some blood occasionally, which can not only enhance the hematopoietic function of the body, but also reduce the viscosity of blood and prolong life. This is the reason why women mostly live longer than men. ”

Gu Shiyu talked eloquently, but it made Crane even more angry. He shouted, "Well, then I'll put some blood on you, so that you can live a longer and healthier life!" he whistled, and hundreds of unicorns emerged from the dense forest. Crane grabbed the mane of a unicorn, rolled over and rode on, leading the unicorns to rush over!

"Run!" Resa jumped on his horse like a frightened rabbit. Gu Shiyu also panicked, stepped on his horse and fled.

Behind him, Crane laughed.

The two didn't know how far they had run, and when they saw that there were no pursuers behind them, they gasped and stopped.

"Renesa, the unicorns all ran out just now, this is a chance to catch them, why did you tell me to escape?"

"Are you stupid? Unicorns are more powerful than human cavalry, and if you are pushed by them, even if you don't get poked in a hole, you will be covered with stars and temporarily blinded. How many do you think you've beaten?"

Gu Shiyu was startled: "I thought they were horses! You offended Crane, why didn't you say it earlier?"

Ressa pouted, "Didn't you say he would give you a unicorn?

"How could Crane not know Yoland, who is the king of the dwarves. This made Gu Shiyu puzzled.

"I tell you, the dwarves are divided into two tribes according to their blood, one is the dwarves of pure blood, and the other is the descendants of the dwarves and elves, and the Klan belongs to the latter race. I heard from my father that Crane had escorted their princess to the Lost Lands thirty years ago to marry Lady Grey's father, and then she couldn't go back, leaving in the Silent Forest to feed the unicorns. The Yolander you mentioned is supposed to be of pure blood, and often bullied the Crane and their clan and drove them into the forest, so some people call them forest dwarves, and some call them forest elves. There is no harmony between the two peoples. ”

"No wonder! It's just that it took dozens of days to walk to the Temple of Light without the help of a unicorn. The weather is so cold, and the mountain is about to be closed with heavy snow, won't it be until the beginning of spring next year?"

"I don't care!" Resa said, "You said you were going to give me a unicorn, you can't talk and don't count." Otherwise, I'll tell my father exactly how you behaved along the way. ”

"Okay, I'll see if I can steal one out at night, right? But if you use the blood of a unicorn to heal someone, you can't cut it all the time, you have to wait for it to recover, you know?"

The two waited until the second half of the night, and Gu Shiyu sneaked into the valley, leaving Renesa outside to lead the horse and wait.

Renesa waited until the hoarfrost began to fall, shivering with cold, and stamping her feet to regain consciousness on her cold feet.

It took a long time to notice a shadow in the white mist. Renesa looked at it, wasn't that Gu Shiyu, what was he carrying on his shoulders?

Seeing him getting closer and closer, seeing more and more clearly what was on his shoulder, it was ...... Be...... Hey, could it be a unicorn?

Gu Shiyu collapsed to the ground, gasping like a cow and said, "Those unicorns were disobedient, so I had to knock one out and carry it back." ”

"Why don't you knock out a big one and carry it back, this one is still a doll. Renesas blamed.

"you! It's bigger than a thousand kilograms, can I carry it? It's small, but it's a unicorn, you can raise it! Let me tell you, I once fed a little black dragon that just came out of an egg, and now it's as tall as two people. ”

"I want the little black dragon too!"

"No, I've already given it to Princess Catherine. The little unicorn is very beautiful and cute, I think it's much better than the big one, and all animals are beautiful when they're small. ”

Although Renesa is a little regretful that he didn't get the black dragon, he is already happy to get a small unicorn as a pet. She hugged the unconscious little unicorn and began to chant the incantation.

The unicorn has magical power in its blood and recovers quickly. Renesa pressed her face against the unicorn's cheek, rubbing it incessantly, making out a lot of affection.

"Don't delay, Crane might find out when it's dawn. Gu Shiyu urged.

The two mounted their horses, led the unicorn behind their backs, and began to flee quickly. Although the unicorn is too small to carry a man, it is light and brisk, and can keep up with the running speed of a fierce woman.

Throughout the day, the two of them only took a short rest, did not dare to stop longer, and hurried all the way, for fear that Crane would catch up. But after a few days, there was no trace of the pursuers behind him.

Could it be that the old man was confused, and he didn't even notice that a little unicorn was missing?

By the time the snow began to fall, the two of them had already reached the outskirts of the dead woods. In the distance, you can clearly see the towering clock tower in the middle of the town.

When the two entered the town, Gu Shiyu encountered some unhappiness. First, one or two dogs barked behind him, and then more and more behind him, barking throughout the town.

When the residents saw the black mist on him, they scattered in all directions, and the whole market was empty at once, and the snow was littered with trampled vegetables and fruits.

Then a large group of soldiers surrounded him, saying that he was a demon and wanted to catch him and burn him. Fortunately, many people knew Ressa, and only then did they know that this demon was going to the Temple of Light to atone for his sins, and he paid a deposit of two hundred gold coins before giving up.

Gu Shiyu was very angry, and he was almost ready to hit someone. However, he still remembered what happened to him in Baulstontown, and if he did, the guards of the whole town would come and arrest him. If you kill and injure someone by mistake, and if you don't kill a bloody way, you can't get out, then you will really have a great sin.

Although they are now scolded as demons by these ignorant residents, they are eye-catching and point-in-a-bit wherever they go, but they still find a place to rest, eat steaming food, soak in a hot bath, and sleep well in a warm and soft bed.

What Gu Shiyu didn't know was that all the land starting from the dead wood forest belonged to a person he knew, and that person was called Ju Lei. Not far away was a black castle, which was Lady Grey's fiefdom.

Lady Grey and Thunder were now standing on the bell tower, watching what was happening in the town.

The two were hesitant to carry out Zoro's instructions. According to Sauron's plan, when Gu Shiyu passes through the dead woods, it will definitely cause a lot of commotion in the town, and the soldiers will definitely go out to arrest him. If Gu Shiyu was angry from his heart, resisted arrest by force, and did not kill the killer, it would be absolutely impossible to escape from the town, just like what happened to him back then.

He also thought that Gu Shiyu might not make a move, so he told Ju Lei to kill one or two soldiers while he was in chaos, and then put the matter on Gu Shiyu's head, so that his hands were covered with blood on the way to escape. From then on, he was not tolerated by the self-proclaimed decent hero, and could only join his own evil camp.

But doing such a thing, the benefits are all for Zoro alone, the giant thunder will not only lose a lot of soldiers, but also have a head-on conflict with the people of the Hero Guild, can he not hesitate?

Madame Grey shook her head and said, "Let him go, Catherine will surely blame us if something happens to us on our territory." Let's save our power first, and find a way to get Catherine and Sauron into a fight. ”
