Chapter 42: The Long Road Ahead
There are cliffs all around, so if you want to go ashore, you have to try your luck by going into the cave with the current. The two of them sacrificed their water shields again www.biquge.info stood on them and floated down the river into the cave.
After entering the cave, the water flow is no longer turbulent, the flow speed has eased a lot, the two of them are wet, the cold wind blows in the cave, and they can't help but shiver from the cold, fortunately, it is not difficult for them to use magic to keep warm, and they don't need Helen to do it, Sean first rubbed out a big fireball, and put it in front of the two of them with his hands, which can both warm and illuminate.
When I first entered, the roof of the cave was very low, and in some places it even required two people to bow their heads and bend down to pass smoothly, but the further they went, the wider the cave became, and under the flickering flames, Sean found that the dark river in front of him had become almost the same width as the river before the waterfall, and the dome above was getting bigger and bigger, and the two of them seemed to be walking through a closed canyon.
However, there are still only cliffs on both sides of the river, and the two of them can't find a suitable place to go ashore for a while, but fortunately, although it is a dark river, there is no reef in it, and after advancing for so long, it is also calm, so the two simply sat down on the shield, shoulder to shoulder, listening to the sound of murmuring water under them, and enjoying a moment of tranquility after the life-and-death fight.
After a moment, Sean broke the silence.
"Helen. ”
"Huh?"
"Since you know how to fly, why didn't you fly away when you had time to cast spells on the edge of the cliff?"
"Knowingly asking, what should you do if I flew away. ”
"That's right. ”
"Isn't it impressive?"
“...... Be. ”
"It's time for me to ask you, why did you help me?"
"I can't see them bullying women. ”
"Isn't it because I'm pretty?"
"Uh...... There is a factor in this. ”
"Even if you're honest, you're actually very handsome. ”
“...... Thank you. ”
"How old are you, Sean?"
"Seventeen years old. ”
"Then I'm a lot older than you, I'm twenty. ”
"It's just about the same. ”
"Okay, almost. By the way, I see that your sword is very powerful, those Rakshasa demon soldiers used the dragon steel sword bought from the lava fortress, and it was actually cut off by you as soon as you fought, what is your sword made of?"
"My father left it to me. ”
"Then your father is either a legendary adventurer or a master forge?"
"My father was both a legendary adventurer and a master foundry. ”
"That's amazing, tell me his story. ”
"He died. ”
"Ah, I'm sorry, Sean. ”
"It doesn't matter. ”
"What about your mother?"
"She also passed away. ”
"Sean, I'm really ......"
"It's okay, relax, I'll tell you about their love story. ”
"Yes, yes. ”
"Twenty years ago, my father, Roger, was just a small blacksmith in the Golden Deer City in the East......"
......
Gradually, the course of the dark river began to become more meandering, and many upside-down stalactites appeared on the dome, and from time to time some small animals crawled between the cliffs and stalactites on both sides.
The two of them turned a corner along the river, and suddenly their eyes opened up, this is an area almost as large as the round lake under the waterfall, and the ventilation is excellent, the river ripples in the breeze blowing along the cliffs, and in the circle of ripples, there are also a little starlight.
From the surface of the river, it is indeed a little starlight.
If Sean and Helen looked up at this time, they would see countless glowflies perched on the vast dome. This habit of living in groups, flying beasts with fluorescent backs often appear in the depths of the giant caves, and at this moment they are scattered on the tall dome, and the fluorescent colors on their backs are scattered in the darkness and emit a faint light, looking from afar, as beautiful as the stars in the silent night.
But at this time, the young man and woman on the river were oblivious to such a beautiful scenery, and were completely immersed in the gentle whispers of each other.
"And then Lady Tamble slaughtered herself out of the castle with a rapier?"
"Yes, my mother escaped by jumping over the wall, and before that, she had already knocked over seven or eight guards who wanted to catch him with her excellent swordsmanship, defeated the eldest brother and second brother who came to intercept him one after another, and swept away a bag of golden dragons at home in her busy schedule. ”
"Your mother is amazing. So what is your dad doing at this time, answering her from outside the wall?"
"My father had no idea that my mother would escape on her own. ”
"Ahh ”
"At that time, the Duke of Stag kept his mother under extremely close control, and his father and mother could not communicate with each other at all. Later, my father told me that in despair he was ready to die, and that he was ready to rush into the ducal castle to snatch his mother out, carrying a two-handed heavy sword of his own making, and carrying a hammer for striking iron. ”
"Sure enough, if it's death, won't he use his brain......"
"My father was actually very smart, but he only used his brain when he was studying smelting and casting. Sean shrugged helplessly, "Most of the other time, his style of doing things is so simple and crude. ”
"And then?"
Then, as he was about to rush in with his life, he was stunned to find his mother in her skirt straddling the towering walls of the Duke's castle, and pulling the ladder she had snatched out of the wall. ”
“...... Mrs. Tambur is amazing. ”
"Yes, it's legendary, and every time I think of my mother's feat when she was younger, it is incredible, and it's hard to imagine how she managed to do it at that time. ”
"Therefore, don't underestimate women at any time, especially girls who are bent on marrying themselves off, they can do anything. ”
"You have a point......
"Sean, look, is it okay to dock over there. Helen suddenly pointed to the shore on one side and said.
Sean turned his head to see that the side of the river was no longer an upright cliff, but a large sand-covered beach, just right to land. The two of them shouted with joy, and lay down on the edge of the shield and paddled forward with their hands and feet, and in a short time they were paddled to the shore.
Helen took off her shoes and jumped over with her long legs, and jumped happily on the beach with her bare feet, and said happily, "It feels good to step on the ground again." ”
The water at the edge of the river beach was not very deep, and Sean sat down on the sand after wading the water, took off his wolf skin boots and poured the water inside, and quipped: "Whoever lets you fly will not fly away, and you will have to stay with me to suffer." ”
Helen puffed out her mouth, cocked her cute little nose, shook her head and said: "It's not because you're too stupid, you know that you can't beat the hero and still want to be a hero, if I didn't stay with you, you would have died a long time ago." ”
"Good, good, you're amazing. ”
Sean rummaged through the bracelet, took out a few long iron rods and set up a shelf on the river beach, took out a pot of charcoal and put it under the shelf, rubbed out a fireball and lit the charcoal, and immediately the river beach was filled with bright fire and warm ground.
He looked down and fiddled with the coals in the basin and said, "I'll turn over the coals, and then I'll turn around, you can rest assured that your clothes will be baked, and when they are dry, call me again, and I promise not to peek." ”
Before Sean could finish speaking, he heard a sound in front of him, and on the other side of the bracket, the royal blue mage robe had slipped to the ground.
When he looked up, he was immediately stunned.
