Chapter 16: The Secret Behind the Wall
An orc shaman, an orc warrior, and a dwarven musketeer.
"Well, three of us, it looks like our team is growing. ”
Walking down the path to Cheseam, Jabbar sighed on a whim.
"It's only three people, and since we set off, we have one more person, and it's a dwarf. What's there to be happy about?"
In the face of Abdul-Jabbar's good mood, Baladin showed a completely different attitude.
"Please be careful, orc. What's wrong with the dwarves? Dwarves are weaker than you orcs, aren't they?"
Paladin's unconcealable personality quickly caused Eminem's upset, but fortunately, there was no physical conflict, just bickering.
"Well, little man, don't mind, my buddy has this temper, he speaks directly, in fact, he has no malicious intent. ”
Seeing that the two companions behind him began to quarrel, Jabbar hurriedly sleek and acted as a middleman.
"Abdul-Jabbar, what do you see up ahead?"
Just when all three of them were relaxed, the scene before them made Jabbar and Baladin feel confused again.
The forest path disappeared again, and this time it was different from the last time they entered the Trial Forest, this time, the forest path disappeared inexplicably, the path did not gradually narrow and disappear naturally, but suddenly disappeared, and a wall appeared directly in front of them to block their way.
"If you don't listen to you on the main road, now it's all right, there's no way, how do we get to Chetham?"
The sudden unexpected situation made Eminem complain again and complain.
"If you talk nonsense, I'll cut off your tongue, little man. ”
Can't stand Eminem's chirping, Baladin's frizzy personality is exposed again. The two of them are going to fight again.
"You guys be quiet, I think there's something strange about this wall. ”
Ignoring the argument behind him, Jabbar walked alone under the stone wall and took a closer look at it.
"What's so strange? It's just a broken wall. ”
"We can just find a thicker trunk and knock it down, maybe there's a road behind us. ”
Paladin was a simple and rough orc, and when it comes to problems, it is his characteristic to deal with things in the simplest way. Abdul-Jabbar doesn't think so, though. This stone wall suddenly appeared here, and it looked like it was man-made, and it didn't want outsiders to enter, there must be a reason for it, maybe it was the territory of some creature, and it didn't want to be disturbed?
Abdul-Jabbar thought as he thought about it, and the curiosity in his heart grew stronger.
"With that, we walk along the wall and we should find the entrance, which may be a door, or a hole. ”
The curious Abdul-Jabbar didn't want to go back and be chased by the orcs, but chose a very exciting method and adventure! Maybe because he had read too many movies and novels, Abdul-Jabbar always hoped that something fantastical would exist inside the high wall.
"Maybe it's a wonderful journey, let's go, Eminem, if there's a treasure in it, it's all yours. If there are beautiful women, it will all be mine, what will it be?"
Hearing that there was a treasure, Eminem the Dwarf happily agreed to join the adventure. But Paladin was reluctant.
"You have taken the women and the treasure, so what shall I share?"
"Well, the orcs are yours, and the rest is mine. How?"
In the face of Paladin's questioning, Abdul-Jabbar replied mysteriously, but a sinister smile rose on his lips.
"Deal!"
In this way, Uncle Jabbar once again tricked the two simple friends to his side, and went into the high wall together to find out.
Two days later, Jabbar and Baladin, Eminem, found the entrance to the walled woodland. It was a narrow gap that could only accommodate one person sideways, and Jabeur didn't even know if it was a natural gap in the wall caused by disrepair or if it was originally the entrance, but in short, these stone walls were extremely strong, and if you wanted to enter, you could only find the entrance, and you couldn't break it with brute force.
"Oh, mygod!
Through the narrow passageway, the stone wall was already behind him, and the view in front of him made Jabbar sigh.
The lush trees take on a variety of colors, some of which have bloomed and fall on the forest floor like cherry blossoms, the air and temperature are very pleasant, and the sky suddenly turns from gloomy gray to azure and then dark green, which is simply breathtaking.
"I bet there's a treasure here. ”
While Abdul-Jabbar is soaking up the beauty, Eminem is already pulling out his shovel and detective device, ready to make a fortune.
"I think there's something weird here, Barr. I think we'd better go back, and now the task is to get to Chetsum as soon as possible. ”
Compared to Eminem and Jabbar's obsession, Baladin was very calm. And remind everyone from time to time.
"Wait, what about the entrance? The entrance we just entered. ”
Baladin reminded the three of them with a word, but when he turned his head, the entrance that was there just now was gone!
"I'm going! ”
Abdul-Jabbar, who was awakened by Palatin's words, suddenly felt goosebumps all over his body, and he entered a place where he was a god? The teacher said that the brighter the color of the mushroom, the more poisonous it is, and the more beautiful the girl is, the more she can't touch it. And the place in front of you, although full of beauty and fantasy, is so beautiful that it is terrifying.
"Let's go, find your way there!"
After pondering for a while, Abdul-Jabbar decided to go out anyway. Fear defeats curiosity......
During the three days of finding the exit along the forest path, the scenery here is simply beautiful, and every time you walk a section, there will be a different scenery, spring, summer, autumn and winter, sometimes exaggerated to a hundred meters before it is still a winter scene, after a hundred meters of walking is a summer scene. The sky is also constantly changing colors, from the blue sky an hour ago, to the starry night after an hour, and the aurora constantly appearing. All in all, it was the most beautiful view Abdul-Jabbar had ever seen in his life.
"Wait, how did we get back to square one?"
As he walked, a terrible thought suddenly took over Abdul-Jabbar's mind. Three days ago, they set out from here and entered the woodland, and at that time they had so much food in their pockets, and how they were dressed, and now, they are still dressed like this, and they still have so much food in their pockets!
"Are we going to fall into a space-time trap?"
A bold and terrifying guess instantly took over Abdul-Jabbar's mind, and such a magical thought caused goosebumps to all three of them. This is a phenomenon that transcends nature and the cognition of the universe. Even Abdul-Jabbar's teacher, Kumai, did not teach him what to do in such a situation.
