Chapter 180: Towards a New World
Leaving the Yellow Lands, Captain Mist did not return to the ship with Nikita.
Instead, he carried her through a fog.
As the banshee followed the captain out of the mist, she smelled something familiar.
Raising its head, the lush canopy of the towering trees intertwined, leaving little gap in the sky, and lowering its head, the multi-legged reptile quickly crawled from one fallen leaf to another, holding a drop of nectar in its pincers, which was its dinner today. Fist-sized mushrooms shimmer in the damp air, and invisible birds sing softly in the darkness.
The young banshee covered her mouth, a look of horror and sadness on her face.
This is the Forest of Silence.
Located on Phuket Island, just outside First University, a vast forest of light and darkness.
It is also the place where Nikita fell.
"I feel the fear in your soul. Captain Mist's voice rang out in front of her.
The banshee nodded silently.
The two-headed demons appear on Phuket Island, and if they are discovered by wizards, especially First University, they may not even be able to die.
Even if one of them is a big demon.
Wizards love the experimental materials of high-level demons.
It just so happens that the most important thing in the first university is the great wizard. This island is probably the area with the highest density of great wizards in the entire wizarding world. Imagine the scene where two hyenas fall into a pack of lions.
"Peace of mind. Although the school guardian formation is very sensitive to demonic energy, this place already belongs to the Silent Forest. The captain and the banshee walked unhurriedly through the roots of the trees that crisscrossed the woods, and explained in a gentle voice:
"And one of the most inhospitable areas in the Silent Forest. The Guardian Circle does not monitor the area all the time...... I wouldn't be here for too long. ”
When the banshee heard this, she sighed and nodded reassuringly.
Then he suddenly looked up and looked at the captain with a frightened expression, his lips moving slightly, and he wanted to speak but was a little timid.
Captain Mist happened to turn his head and glanced at her, with a smile on his face, his eyes were as cold as ever, as if he had guessed what the banshee wanted to ask, and repeated what it had said before very intimately:
“...... That's right, I won't be here for long. ”
The banshee's attention finally turned away from the mood of revisiting.
She couldn't help but shudder.
"I..."
She wanted to ask, what about me? I came with you! You can't leave me alone! But in the face of the captain's indifferent eyes, she really didn't have the courage to say what she thought.
The banshee grabbed the scarlet strip of cloth on her wrist, and her fingers went around it, like a heart word lingering on the tip of her tongue, and hesitated for a long time.
But she ultimately made the right choice.
"I... What can I do for you?"
The banshee wisely chose a different story. Since you can't resist the arrangement of fate, why not compromise with fate in exchange for fate's favor for you?
It's like in that desert, she threw away the beetle, climbed up the dead body, and bit his neck.
It's like in that dark cabin, she gives up her illusions and finally sinks into the abyss.
Now, it's just a new fork in the river of fate, and she just needs to continue along the widest tributary. Even if she knew that there might be a waterfall with a drop of kilometers in front of this tributary, what did it matter? Moreover, there will be danger on any of the tributaries.
Captain Mist nodded in satisfaction, his eyes finally revealing a hint of appreciation.
"Experience is a pile of embers with a little residual warmth in it. The captain's words are always a bit philosophical, but the actual meaning is simple:
"You've spent a lot of time at this university, and you know enough about this forest. Compared to the other guys on the boat, you still have enough residual warmth to keep warm...... Stay here, gather the restless beasts in the woods, and at the right time, take them out of the Silent Forest and enjoy the delicious food you deserve!"
As he spoke, the Kraken closed his eyes, opened his arms, and took a deep breath.
It was as if he had smelled the fragrance of the blood of the young wizard wafting from the campus on the other side of the Silent Forest.
In contrast, the banshee is much more sensible.
"When the time is right...... When?" she asked cautiously, but she was silent for herself for a few seconds. No matter how you listen to it, the captain's arrangement is to use himself as cannon fodder.
If the First University was so easily overwhelmed by the beasts, wouldn't the annual Silent Black Tide be the most terrible accident in the entire wizarding world?
The captain's answer was very simple:
"When the stars come. ”
This answer was a bit vague, and Nikita wanted to ask again, what is Starlight? When will Starlight come? Will she lead the herd out after Starlight arrives, or will Starlight fall at the same time? Where will Starlight fall? Can she raise a huge herd of beasts in the Silent Forest on her own? She's just a little lich registered at the wizard level!
Captain Mist quickly gave the young banshee some confidence with his actions.
It took the banshee and shuttled through the edge of the Silent Forest, and in a very short time it subdued a tribe of forest giants, a black dragon with three heads, and a group of Welsh green dragons.
The banshee was very satisfied and took the three-headed black dragon as her mount.
When the morning star was lit up, a red light appeared in the sky, and the morning mist filled the forest, Nikita suddenly understood that this was a sign that the captain was about to leave.
"You won't be here for long. Captain Mist stood in front of the surging white mist, looked at the young banshee, and threw her a domino:
"Maybe it's a month, maybe it's a week, maybe it's tomorrow, but it won't be too long...... Don't worry about the lack of herd you have gathered, our allies have already done most of their work. Your stay here represents my attitude. Take it and our allies will find you. ”
The confidence in the banshee's heart finally increased a little.
She even began to wonder if she should take the initiative to do something - she had planned to take the three-headed black dragon to hide in a cave after the captain left, and then control the forest giants and the Welsh green dragon to do things.
But now.
The figure of Captain Mist faded into the depths of the white mist.
The banshee raised her head, looked beyond the cascading treetops, and looked at the red sun that jumped into sight, and something called ambition inexplicably grew in her heart.
She realized one thing early on, and that was that this incident related to the Black Prison was not a unified action of the demon world. This visit to the Yellow Land confirmed this point.
It is a notable fact that during the entire visit to the Bretched Lands, Captain Mist did not follow the usual etiquette to visit the true owner of the Blands. Neither Sir Ulrich nor the captain of the ship tacitly mentioned the behemoths behind them.
For example, the Siren King, or the Lich King.
The law of nature is that big fish eat small fish, and small fish eat small shrimp.
So when the small fish start to steal food in the hunting grounds of the big fish, can the small shrimp also steal the bait of the small fish?
Nikita closed her eyes and opened her mouth to meet the sun, the tip of her tongue warm, as if she had just swallowed a large mouthful of sun. Sunlight shines through the eyelids, leaving a colorful red patch on the retina. The red flowed and tumbled, floating with countless mysterious symbols and patterns that fascinated the young banshee.
The red color made her feel warm.
When I opened my eyes again, the world was shrouded in a sea of green colors.
Clusters of new clusters of new ones.
She knew she was about to go into a new world.
