Chapter 264: Re-Walk the Outer Forest
So a group of four people walked again from the direction of the outer forest.
This time, Roland's luck was not very good, because they ran into another snowy day.
Roland couldn't help but look around, and then he found that the scenery that was destroyed by the "octopus monster" last time had not fully recovered, and was still vaguely exposed. But on the whole, it's still a white expanse, a quiet world.
Since Roland's memories of the trail last time were all snow-covered before it was destroyed, it was still a little difficult for them to make out what it was.
But fortunately, the peaks here are staggered, and they are still quite distinctive, so Roland quickly regained the original memory and gradually embarked on the road.
As the group climbed, Roland vaguely recalled what had happened here.
The strange thing is that whether it is Ellis who assassinated Roland, or Gray who transformed into Xiu, even Xiu who showed his original form, the figure in Roland's memory began to slowly blur. What impressed Roland the most was the blue-clothed boy that Roland saw in the illusion!
Probably because that boy is too compatible with this pure snow! Although Roland can't even be sure whether he really existed, the image of the young man still emerged in Roland's mind very deeply and meticulously.
At the time he woke up at the bottom, Roland was pretty sure that the wound Ellis had inflicted on him was gone. So at that time, was it the young man in blue who saved himself?
Somehow, at this moment, Roland's mood became a little expectant, looking forward to seeing that young man again.
Just when Roland was thinking a little distracted, a face suddenly appeared in front of his eyes, startling Roland. It took a moment for Roland to realize that the person who appeared in front of him was Gray.
Gray put his arm around Roland's shoulders and whispered in his ear, "Roland, look, the expressions of the two of them are not very normal!" Did you say that the monster escaped last time that was so serious? ”
Listening to Gray's words, Roland also turned around and glanced at Sharon and them. As a result, Roland found that it was really just like what Gray said, and the two dragon knights were looking down from the edge of the pit at this time, with solemn expressions on their faces.
"What's wrong? Is there anything unusual in this? Seeing that the situation was not right, Roland asked cautiously.
Sharon glanced at Roland, his expression was a little unwilling, and said, "The giant beast sealed here is not an ordinary monster. It's a long-sealed, ancient sealing beast. At the beginning of the world, there was chaos. In order to solidify the matter in this space into the earth and facilitate the reproduction of living beings, seven giant beasts with mysterious powers were sealed, thus forming the prototype of the main continent. Therefore, these seven sealing beasts are generally called sealing beasts. And when the one here had just broken the seal and ran out, the Holy Court had already noticed the movement here, and sent people to arrest it and reseal it. Unexpectedly, the Holy Court seemed to underestimate the power of this sealing beast. ”
"What if we can't reseal this beast?" Roland asked a little nervously, because it sounded like a very big deal!
Sharon replied, "If the other six sealing beasts also break the seal and run out, then this continent will return to chaos and disappear. Now the situation on the entire continent is in turmoil, and the seals of other sealing beasts are weakening day by day. Therefore, after the Holy Court escaped from this giant beast, it had already sent additional manpower and strengthened the supervision of several other seals. And the seal was broken, and the evil consequences of the sealing beast running out seemed to have been revealed. I now have some suspicions that the sky rift that suddenly appeared in the sky above Twin Moon City and Castlevania City Evenerg before, and the staggered time and space split may also be due to the impact on this world caused by the loss of control of this sealing beast. This time it seemed to be much more serious than I had anticipated at first, and now I have to reseal it quickly. It seems that if we don't make a move, the rest of the Holy Court alone will not be able to seal it. ”
"In that case, let's split up next. You take Gray with you to lure the escaped Seal Behemoth here. During this time, I continued to search for clues to the soul crystal. After some thought, Dingenier said.
"Do you want to stay by yourself?" Sharon looked at Dingenel's face, and for some reason there was a little worried look in his eyes: "But ......"
"Nothing," Dingenier sighed, his eyes suddenly showing a little warmth, and he did not forget to remind, "Don't forget our duty......
Sharon didn't continue to speak.
"Shall I go with Lord Sharon?" Gray glanced at Roland, and somehow, his tone was a little hesitant.
Sharon knew what Gray was worried about, and his tone became a little dissatisfied: "What? Are you worried that Dingenier will murder Roland? ”
"That's not ......"
"Since it's not, let's not waste any more time, we need to hurry up." Sharon urged, and Gray had no choice but to give up.
After Sharon and Gray left, Roland and Dingenier stayed together and didn't speak, and the atmosphere became a little subtle. Because since the last time Roland and Dingenier fell out, the two of them hadn't been alone.
So for a moment, Roland didn't know what he should say to Dingonel. But because they have more important things to do now, they don't have the time to worry about these things.
The two of them walked all the way to the bottom of the valley along the river they had found last time, and came to the strange jungle they passed through at the end, and the journey was very smooth. The two of them quickly entered the jungle that was similar to but very different from the Forest of Merlin.
The creatures here were still the same as before, with reddish eyes and slightly darkened complexions.
But somehow, the creatures I encountered this time seemed to have a much colder reaction compared to the last time. The last time the guys in the dense forest saw Roland and their group, they all seemed to be dying and had to arch towards them!
This time, however, they looked like they were all too lazy to talk to Roland and Dingenier.
Of course, this is not entirely true. Because although Dingenier didn't have any biological connections, Roland still had a lot of animals behind him.
But let's follow, they didn't attack Roland like they did last time, and I don't know why.
While it's nice that the creatures here don't attack them, the size of the "troops" behind Roland has been somewhat affecting their movements. Dingenier finally couldn't help but ask, "Why are they all following you?" ”
Roland didn't know why.
"Do you have anything on you that will attract them?" Dingenier reminded.
Roland was slightly stunned, and then remembered: After Archimedes died, when the guards cleaned up the fragments of the statue of the goddess, Roland felt that the soul crystal might still be useful, so he forcibly endured the nausea and secretly broke a piece and hid it on his body, is it because of this?
So Roland took out the soul crystal and handed it to Dingenier.
Dingenier took the crystal, and suddenly threw it into the distance.
