Chapter 141: Confession
Knowing that Sophia was making great efforts to hunt down herself, Zhang Tian and Alice didn't dare to go to the populated places anymore, and went to the inaccessible places according to the map.
But there were always soldiers on the border, and the two could not leave the territory of the principality, and there were strong men who passed by the forests and valleys where they were hiding from time to time, and it seemed that they were also the ones who came to search.
Zhang Tian and Alice fled in fear, and on this day they came to a tall mountain range, and there were several towns around it, but they were attacked and abandoned by demonic beasts.
He looked at the mountains in the distance, and suddenly thought about something and asked, "Alice, do you know the dwarves, are they good people?"
Alice asked curiously, "Why did you suddenly ask about the dwarves?"
Zhang Tian sighed, "When I returned to the territory from Jalan City, I helped a team of fleeing dwarves, and they might have a way to get us out of the principality, so I asked. ”
"Well, dwarves aren't bad-hearted, they're just obsessed with forged metals, and don't usually interact with humans. Alice smiled back truthfully.
"I just wanted to ask the dwarves if they left the tunnels of the Duchy, because they are experts at burrowing. Zhang Tian said confidently.
"But dwarves generally live in the depths of caves, where are we going to find them?"
Zhang Tian raised his hand and pointed to the huge mountain range in the distance, "I have been to the Dwarven King City before, and I may be able to find a way in that big mountain. ”
Alice looked at Zhang Tian with an incredulous gaze, and then said, "You really have too many things that surprise me. ”
Zhang Tian released the undead bird to explore the way, and then walked in the direction of his memory, carefully avoiding the large and small groups of demonic beasts along the way.
It took half a day for the two to come to the bottom of the mountain that Zhang Tian had climbed with the dwarf, and after a little rest, they walked up the mountain.
However, when we reached the halfway point of the mountain, it was already dark, so we had to find a sheltered place to camp. The two of them set up a small campfire to barbecue rabbit meat.
Zhang Tian saw that Alice was eating rabbit meat without a bite, and asked with concern, "Is it unappetizing to eat well?"
Alice frowned a little and said with a light smile, "The rabbit meat is well roasted, but these days I can't get out of the principality, so I'm a little worried that I will go to the Dwarven King City or run for nothing." ”
Zhang Tian comforted, "Even if there is no tunnel out of the principality, it doesn't matter, it's a big deal that we go to the mine in the ministry to catch some guards to interrogate, as long as we know which port I got off the ship from, maybe we can take a boat back to Shenzhou." ”
Alice raised her head and looked at Zhang Tian in surprise, and said for a long time, "Do you want me to go to Shenzhou too, but I don't want to leave the Kas Continent until I take revenge." Otherwise, I really want to see Zhang Tian's hometown, what kind of place is Shenzhou?"
Zhang Tianju looked at the endless sky and the distant horizon, and only after a while did he faintly recall, "There are many beautiful mountains and rivers, as well as countless cities and towers. The scenery of the four seasons is beautiful, and you will not want to leave if you go and stay for a few years. ”
Alice followed Zhang Tian's gaze. I saw the infinite night sky full of stars. The horizon in the distance is like the sea when it is calm, and standing on the high mountain, there is a kind of heroism that you can see everything in full view.
She suddenly sighed, "You said that Shenzhou is so beautiful, maybe I really want to go and see it." ”
Zhang Tian sighed with emotion, "Yes, I also miss Shenzhou, and I really want to go back to find my father and mother, even if I see them again." ”
Alice stroked Zhang Tian's head again with pity. Treat him like a child and ask, "If you really have the opportunity to go back to China and find your parents, what would you want to do the most?"
Zhang Tian glanced at Alice, who had a sympathetic look on her face, and suddenly reached out to wrap his arms around her waist and said with a wicked smile, "I will tell my father and mother that my son has brought his daughter-in-law home to visit relatives." Look how beautiful my mother-in-law is, like a fairy. ”
Alice was stunned by Zhang Tian's sudden hug, and she didn't know what was crazy about the little brother in her eyes, but after hearing what he said, she immediately reacted and blushed.
She shyly twisted Zhang Tian's hand and said, "What nonsense are you talking about daughter-in-law and wife, there is no seriousness, you must know that this is a very solemn thing in life, how can you talk nonsense." ”
Ignoring the pain in his arm, Zhang Tian stared into Alice's eyes and said sincerely, "I'm telling the truth, I really like you, I used to hide in my heart because of my low status, but now I can't be silent anymore." ”
Alice didn't twist Zhang Tian's hand anymore, and looked at the adult boy in front of her with complicated eyes, the two of them looked at each other without speaking, and a thousand words were exchanged in their eyes.
After a long time, she sighed faintly, "You have said several times that you liked me, and you thought it was a joke, but now it seems that you are really thinking in your heart, otherwise you would not have risked coming to save me." ”
Zhang Tian hurriedly said, "Yes, I hope to be with you forever, if I really can't take revenge, it is better to go back to Shenzhou together, my father and mother will definitely be very happy to see you as a daughter-in-law." ”
Alice was silent for a moment before she said quietly, "If I can't avenge the Fuman family, I will never marry, I hope you are prepared for this." ”
Zhang Tian said with a firm expression, "I will definitely take the heads of Yali and Sophia as a bride price, and then I will return to Shenzhou to worship and get married, and we will be together forever." ”
Alice smiled bitterly, "You still don't know how difficult it is to kill Sophia, there is a legendary master in the deep palace of the Roman Empire, I advise you to find someone else to live your life, my life is only for revenge." ”
"What if there is a master, I will work hard to improve my strength, and I will definitely cut off the enemy's head and give it to you in the end. Zhang Tian said firmly again.
Alice's moved eyes welled up with tears, and she choked up, "I'm sure you can, thank you." ”
In the howling night wind, two young figures slowly snuggled together, looking at the starry night sky with a bonfire.
Early the next morning, Zhang Tian, who was meditating on the vigil, woke up Alice in the tent, and the two of them had something to eat casually and continued to walk up the mountain.
With yesterday's confession, the two of them are much closer in action and demeanor.
Zhang Tian was afraid that Alice would be too tired, so he insisted on carrying her to the mountain.
Alice also used the water shield technique to block the scorching sun in the sky, and asked Zhang Tian about the customs of China with great interest.
At noon, a large hole in the top of the hill could be seen in the distance, and Alice said happily, "This is the entrance to the dwarven king's city, and the dwarves are very fond of the company of mountain rocks." ”
Zhang Tian shook his head and said, "That's a fake cave used by dwarves to confuse the enemy, and the real entrance is in a mountain wall, and those who don't know will never be able to find it." ”
He relied on his memory to grope for a moment on a mountain wall, and sure enough, he found the mechanism that opened the door of Sora, pulled the gate hard, and saw that the stone wall suddenly opened a door.
"The dwarf is really worthy of being a famous craftsman in the mainland, I can't find the gate like this, fortunately you are here. Alice sincerely appreciated Zhang Tiandao.
Zhang Tian smiled and walked towards the gate, the stone gate slowly closed automatically, and the walk suddenly fell into darkness.
Alice conjured a light spell to illuminate her surroundings, and the two were surprised to find that the floor of the passage was covered in dust and scattered with many dwarven weapons, and pools of dried blood could be seen in between.
She couldn't help but ask Zhang Tiandao, "Was this the case the last time you came here, it turns out that the dwarves are still a sloppy race, no wonder there are no guests coming." ”
Zhang Tian shook his head solemnly and said, "The last time I came here, the passage was very clean, and there would never be weapons on the ground that they were proud of, could it be that something happened to the dwarves." ”
Alice heard Zhang Tian's solemn tone, and hurriedly got off his back, and the two carefully looked at the passage environment, for fear that danger would suddenly appear.
The two discussed for a while, and decided to go down to have a look, after all, it was not safe outside, so it was better to try their luck here.
Alice strengthened her lighting magic and suddenly whispered, "Zhang Tian, do you see that the dwarves also like to decorate the corridors with stone carvings?"
When Zhang Tian heard Alice's words, he immediately looked in the direction of her finger, and suddenly took a deep breath, only to see the top and sides of the passage covered with strange stone statues with wings on their backs.
These stone statues have heads like wolf dogs, their bodies are somewhat kicked up like humans, and the wings on their backs are actually in the shape of long membranes, like the bat wings that Zhang Tian has seen before.
They held long stone forks in their hands, their blood-red eyes slowly turning as if they could move in the light, and at this moment there were countless stone statues staring at Zhang Tian and Alice.
Zhang Tian said to himself, "It's only been long since I left, and the dwarves have carved so many stone statues, what's the good of just decorating these vicious-looking things, do you want to scare off any enemies?"
Alice suddenly said, "I may have seen this stone statue in a book, but I don't know where I saw it, dwarves actually use this kind of monster as a decoration, and they are really very different from human preferences." ”
Zhang Tian couldn't figure out what the dwarves were going to do, so he said, "Let's go, don't let these statues get down to business." ”
He summoned the battle axe and shield in his hand, carefully guarded Alice's side, and the two walked slowly into the depths of the passage, the sound of restless feet echoing in the empty dwarven corridor. (To be continued......)
