Chapter 30: The Ferryman of the Night 1
readx;? Cevero sometimes feels his sublime greatness, and sometimes he feels like he is nothing. www.biquge.info He often imagined him as a poor farmer with his wife and children of his own, and he often imagined what Charlotte would do if she were alive, and surely he would never be a general or such a homeless wanderer.
He looked like a madman, with his long hair scattered and his stubble growing densely.
"They're growing really fast, but it's time to get faster or slower. He touched his cheeks and whispered in the darkness of nothing.
"It's getting faster," Orvilles continued, "but I'd rather it be slower, and make the road faster." ”
The two of them were enclosed in the dark iron cart, and the two of them were the only ones in the iron cart, dressed in the clothes of a prisoner of the Ghost Realm: a shoddy brown linen coat and a pair of fat linen trousers, and everywhere they were, except for a Fugo in Chivello's hand, which was a treasure.
He now has a deep relationship with it, just like a relative.
The four wandering warriors outside drove them outside in a carriage, and they were full of swear words and swearing, and when they talked about the two men in the iron carriage, one of them, an ugly man without a chin, said: "But two thieves and rapists who were banished from the country, and the most obscene thing is not as obscene as them!"
These wandering warriors are the people under the banner of the last peak of the Ghost Domain, Ao Ze Peak, and they are located in the deepest realm of the Ghost Domain, which is the boundary of the Ghost Domain, the end of the two poor mountains of the Ghost Path. And Cevero and Orvilles were the ones to be banished from there, and the wandering warriors called them the saddest people in the world.
"At the end of the ghost realm, what is that place. The wandering warrior without a jaw said, "It's just a group of weird guys wandering around that area, I heard that there are real ghosts, and I heard that our big sect has some dealings with them in secret, but it's just selling some slaves and *** These guys should also be one of the slaves." ”
"They're all dead slaves. Another wandering samurai laughed, "I've heard that the slaves here have been turned into bones there, and the living dead know how to use them. ”
In the silence of the carriages and horses, in the middle of the night, Civero and Orvilles occasionally overheard conversations outside. But they don't seem to be in the ear.
"What are you doing here? You shouldn't be here. "Civero and Orvilles Road.
"Yes, I shouldn't, but neither should you, and it seems to be on the right path now. Orvilles sighed, and could clearly hear his empty sigh, "Thornrod said that across the Dead Island, across the Sea of the Dead is where Daria is, though I don't know if these two places really exist, and I hate that I can't catch up with them when a silver-winged demon snatches her. ”
"You've walked a long way, but maybe it's even shorter. ”
"If I had known that of course I would go, now I have nothing but prayer, praying that she will not be harmed, there is still a long way to go, but there is still a glimmer of hope in my heart. Orvilles sighed again, "Almost all the good things in my life have been given to me by her. ”
"I'll go with you. Chivero seemed to laugh, but then there was a grunting sound, due to the pain.
"What's wrong with you?" asked Orvilles.
"No, nothing. Civero touched his upper arm, the mark of Thornrode, and found that around the mark stretched out a raised twig-like mark, which he knew was his permanent lock of freedom.
"Nothing. Again, he said, "I'll go with you, I'm going to see that place, I've never walked this road, maybe the end of the world, it's exciting to think about." ”
There was silence for a long time, and the two laughed together.
Two days later, late at night, the carriage passed through the rolling black forest and through a rugged mountain road strewn with boulders. After crossing the long iron bridge between the two mountains, and through the long and dark mountain tunnels, we finally stopped on a flat land.
The four sides of the mountain wall rise vertically, like a natural patio, and the top of the castle of Okusawa Peak looms with huge iron sculptures of bulls colliding at two ends, and the sound of samurai practicing swords can be heard from there.
Looking up along the straight mountain wall, three wooden arrow towers stood like rocks, and on each stood a peak archer in a black shirt, carrying a quiver and a longbow on his shoulder, and their faces wore an iron mask with open holes that could only reveal their eyes, and their eyes were as bright as black jade.
Here the four wandering warriors open the doors of the iron carriage, and Civero and Orvers step out of it.
"Look, Lord Ghost King treats you very well, let us send you all the way here, and I am afraid that you will starve, so I will prepare enough food for you in the car. The four wandering warriors faced each other with hooked swords, and Civero and Orvilles looked around and slowly retreated, in front of and behind them were mountain tunnels locked with bronze gates.
Before the two retreated to the tunnel, the jawless warrior rushed forward and opened the bronze gate with three iron pillar latches, and with the squeaky cavity vibrating, the gate was pushed open with all his might, followed by a surging cold aura, the tunnel was dark, and the bright exit in the distance seemed to lead to the gloomy hell.
"Don't think about resisting, no one can think about it!" the jawless warrior forced the two into the tunnel, "Lord Ghost King already knows your tricks, a guy who will make himself smaller, a guy who clings to the sword of spiritual power, you have nothing else to go except ahead, the great sects and the ghost king will see you again, and your corpses will hang on the cold city wall until they are turned into bones by the mountain wind." ”
"This little brother, don't be excited. Chivero stretched out his hand and joked, "We already have the belief that we will die, of course there is no other way to go, but I want to ask you one last time, is there an ocean called the Sea of the Undead in front of us?"
"You! Look! That's your burial place. The samurai shouted contemptuously, and slammed the bronze door shut, as if the lights in the house had suddenly gone out, and the inside of the tunnel was dark, only to feel a cold wind blowing outside, and the two shivered from the cold, and ran out with their arms folded.
Beyond the tunnel, there is a forest of black holes, the trees of this forest are ancient and messy, as if they are all entwined.
The people of the Ghost Realm call this place the Forest of the End, and some people call it the End of Life. The entrance to the forest was a road that looked like it was frequented, and the tangled ancient trees resembled a skeleton with a mouth and eyes, and the entrance to the road resembled a skeleton's open oval mouth.
The two of them stood at the entrance to the forest, and there was silence in the forest, as if there was nothing but the cold wind blowing and the gloom.
At this moment, a strong wind suddenly struck, which brought a heavy fog that spread throughout the forest, and looking back, the tunnel and the towering Ozawa Peak had all disappeared into the fog, as if a vast magic had transformed them into nothingness, and the weather was much colder. The two suddenly felt hungry and cold, and they had no choice but to rush into it.
The fog was so thick that he could barely see the road ahead, Chivero ran hard, he suddenly felt his front legs hit a wire in front of the road, he stepped back sensitively, only to find that the vibration just now drove the reamers wrapped around the trees at both ends of the rope to cut his ankles with chains, Chivero blocked with Fuge, although he avoided the damage of the reaper, but the chain with iron spikes and the reamer were bitten together and wrapped around his ankles, the iron thorns pierced into his skin, blood flowed out, and Chivero sat on the ground in pain.
"Damn it!" Chivero scolded.
Orvers looked around, and he stepped forward and crouched down, "I'll help you remove him." ”
"It's a beast's lock! My leg almost broke! I'm glad I still have a sword. Civero removed the chains with his hands, and at that moment, in the thick fog, far and near the forest, on their left and right sides and behind them, burst out with seven or eight pairs of glowing red eyes.
"Something is approaching us. Orvilles got up.
"Let them be. Chivero shook off the locks and stood up on one foot, he picked up his fuge, and suddenly felt a tingling pain in his ankle that had been stabbed, and he felt terrible, "Whatever they are, unlucky fellow, now I have a problem walking." ”
As the glowing eyes slowly approached, the faces of these men appeared in front of the two of them.
They wore black cloaks, and held a black scythe with a purple chain more than five feet in their hands on their chests, the scythe was made of black iron, the blade was curved and bright, up to a meter long, the long handle of the sickle was inlaid with rubies and emeralds, and the chain under the handle shone with a faint cold light.
Their eyes were sunken inwards and pale, not human faces, skeletons.
The two of them knew what that meant, and they raised their hands in unison, escorted by these men whom they had only guessed and did not understand, and walked deeper into the forest...... (To be continued.) )
