Chapter 057: Rejected
After the council, Harris and Lasso walked down a path, talking. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info Harris said, "I hope that the dwarves can return to their old jobs, and the final war will come, and we all need to be well equipped." ”
"I've heard that human blacksmiths have made weapons and armor that are already very cool, why would they think of us?"
"No, they are just skills, you are talented, fighting with ghosts is not unusual, everyone needs to wear armor that is light and convenient, and can defend against ghosts, as long as you are willing to nod, my kingdom will send envoys to sign a new contract with you. ”
"Didn't all your gold go to the dragons, and you still have money?"
"Yes, we do not have much money left, and we can even tell you that the royal treasury is empty. But there are still a lot of those nobles, and this time, we don't need you to provide materials, we will provide you with enough steel. ”
"No problem, wait until I see the contract first. If I were deceived by your king again this time, I swear I would turn against you. ”
"Unless he's a pig. ”
"Hehehe. Lasso laughed.
......
Leaving the kingdom of the dwarves of the Azeroa Mountains, Lin Yu asked strangely, "Why did you take me with you?"
"You need to let everyone know you, they will be your army from now on. ”
"Mine?" Lin Yu asked in surprise, and then fell into deep thought. Until the giant eagle rushes into the blue sky again.
"Where are we going next?"
"Black Forest, we need to meet the Treants. They are the only race that cannot be infected by the ghoul disease. ”
"But they also rarely leave their homes. ”
......
The Black Forest, an ancient forest that existed before the Black Earth Empire was established, spans the east and west of the Black Earth Continent. It is the geographical dividing line between the South Seas and the East and the Western Regions.
But the war that lasted for thousands of years has reduced the area of the Black Forest by two-thirds, and the Black Forest that still exists is in the west of the True Dragon Avenue, perhaps because of its antiquity, when the giant eagle came to the sky above the Black Forest, the dark green dense jungle made people feel green and black, they were older than any forest in the Black Earth Continent, and the ancient ones made ordinary people dare not enter at all.
There are not only tree people here, but also monsters, giant elephants, green deer, dragon horses and demon wolves. And the demon wolf only lives on the outskirts of the forest. To cut down on the trouble, the eagle heads straight to the heart of the forest, the only clearing formed by the lake.
The two of them landed, Lin Yu felt that it was completely different from the Azeroa Forest, it was even more quiet here, it seemed that even the birds did not want to keep making noise, and they could see that the light in the forest was very dim, because it was dense, and the sunlight could not unlock all the secrets in the forest.
"Have you been here before?" asked Harris as he walked towards the forest.
"No, never, I grew up telling horror stories about the Black Forest, which is mysterious but full of dangers. ”
"Yes, the Treants hate humanity more than any other race, and if it weren't for the race war, even the remaining part of the Black Forest would have been burned by the dragons. The angry tree man makes the dragon afraid of three points. They are the first race in the Black Earth Continent that can kill true dragons. ”
The moment you walk into the forest, there is a palpable coolness, and a strong atmosphere of antiquity, making it easy to feel the history in it. There was no dirt on the ground, except for the thick roots, which were fallen leaves covered with moss, and each large tree was exceptionally thick, and some of the roots formed thick trunks.
The further you go inside, the more you can hear a creaking and shaking sound, although slow, but this sound appears in the quiet and ancient forest and is creepy, as if every big tree is staring at itself, and the next second it will be torn apart by the vines.
The bark of the trees, which is deeper and more wrinkled than the wrinkles of all the old people, makes it impossible to tell who is already a tree man who already has the ability to move, but all the old trees here are conscious, and they can communicate with each other and inform everything.
Walking and walking, Lin Yu looked up and saw a huge python lying on the thick branch, the color was almost the same as the color of the trunk, if it weren't for the other party lazily sleeping, it was estimated that he would have to run away now.
He followed Harris to a hut in the woods, and when he opened the door to the hut, it was full of cobwebs, and there were two spiders the size of a palm.
"Anyone else has lived here?"
"Yes, I have lived, I used to live here for ten years in order to study the Tree People, to be friends with them. That was before I became a high priest. He looked around, everything here seemed strange to Harris, he hadn't been here in a long time.
"Rong, Liu, Bread, do you have to keep hiding, you know I'm coming. Your friend, Harris. ”
There was no movement around, Lin Yu was a little strange, and he still had some expectations in his heart, he had never seen a tree man, and he had only seen some ugly pictures in the book.
There was still only a creaking sound, but the creaking sound was getting more and more frequent, as if they were communicating something.
Suddenly, several tentacles emerged from the ground, first enveloping Lin Yu, then hanging in the air, and then Harris was not spared, and the two of them were suspended in the air of the woods.
Suddenly, the sound of "Sasha!" came, Lin Yu took a closer look, and saw that the branches and leaves were moving, and then soon, a huge and ancient banyan tree walked out, right in front of their eyes, and then all the tentacles went deep into the soil, as if it was growing here.
"Of course I remember you, Harris. But I sense that you did not come to the Black Forest as a friend, and I am willing to come to you to tell you that we will never help humanity in war. ”
"Oh, Banyan, can you put me down first, I'm so old that it's hard to even breathe. ”
Hearing Harris's words, the treeman's expression was momentarily strange, and then he thought for a moment and said, "Well, you're indeed dying. With that, the tentacles that wrapped around Harris slowly lowered Harris and left Harris's body.
"I want to come down too, hello, I'm Carey. ”
"You lied, you humans love to lie the most, you are from the East, the Brooke family of the East. ”
"Have you seen me?"
Harris explained, "Anyone who passes by here will know that maybe he doesn't remember you, but there will always be one that remembers you. After saying that, he explained like the tree man, "He just hid himself, and he didn't mean to chase him in order to avoid being chased and killed." ”
"The King of the Ghosts, he's been here too, and he mentioned you to me. He said you'll come too. The tree man looked at Lin Yu.
"You didn't kill him?"
"Why would I do this, ghosts don't need wood, they don't need gold, they don't need food, they don't need vegetarian food. They're in control of the continent, and we're safer, aren't we?"
"But he's going to set you on fire, and you're the only creatures who won't be infected by him. Lin Yu said in the air.
"No, he won't. Treemen are peace-loving, they don't get angry easily, and their numbers are scarce. It doesn't threaten any race, and even in the past, after the birth of the human race, we accepted the human race like all living beings, but the human race almost destroyed us, and I remember when I first became conscious, the Black Earth Continent was full of trees. ”
After hearing this, Lin Yu felt troubled, and felt that the possibility of the tree people being able to agree was too small, thinking about it carefully, if he was the king of ghosts and corpses, there was indeed no need to provoke these tree people, and everyone could get along in harmony.
"Banyan, you're wrong. They may not need trees or vegetarian food, but they do need people and other animals that can be eaten. Therefore, the slaves of the ghost corpses will need wood in the future, they will cut down the wood, and the ghost corpses don't care whether this continent is green or yellow or black, they will not take the initiative to plant trees, when all the trees are cut down, it will be your turn. ”
The old bark of the Treant wrinkled, "I think it would be a long, long time later." Maybe you have a point, but the King of Ghost Corpses is smart, more intelligent than ever, and he won't let that happen. ”
"How do you know that he has the same lifespan as you, and when the time comes, the entire Black Earth Continent will be ruled by ghosts, and when that day comes, it will be too late. ”
"Yes, but if the army of ghosts is defeated, I think we'll die sooner. After speaking, the tree man suddenly turned around, "You hurry up and leave, this is no longer your home, if you don't want this little guy you brought to turn into loess." After saying that, he disappeared into the forest, and Lin Yu suddenly fell from the sky.
