Chapter 34: Welcome to the Phantom Beast Village
This place is called Phantom Beast Village, occupies a beautiful place within a radius of 50 miles, the whole village is built on the mountain, the houses are gathered or scattered, and more than 3,500 simple villagers live here. The scenery is extremely beautiful, and it is really a fairyland in the forest. Backed by the Ise Mountains, there is a shade of the mountains in summer and a warm sun in winter. Standing in any corner of the village, you can clearly see the main peak of Ise Sacred Mountain, which is full of fantasy with perennial fairy clouds and snow.
The village is very peaceful and serene, except for the sound of flowing water. A crystal clear river flowing down from a mountain stream inadvertently draped the village with a cyan ribbon, which is not only the main source of water for the village, but also the villagers' reliance. The water is cold and sweet, and you can see the highest point of the village, which is the end of the mountain. A splendid palace was built there, just like the main peak of Ise Sacred Mountain, with a huge torch at the entrance and a serpentine statue at the front door, visible from the bottom of the mountain. The only mountain road leading to this palace is carefully paved with neat square bluestone slabs, I heard that there are 999 pieces, and there are several heavily armed guards standing guard there every other section, making the mountain up and down like two isolated worlds. made it so sacred, there is no doubt that it is the spiritual sustenance of the whole village - the Demon God Temple.
While feeling the shocking vision of the Demon God Temple, I should also praise the architectural style of the Phantom Beast Village, which is quite natural and leisurely, and the foot of the mountain is still connected to the Phantom Beast Forest. Although there are many houses, almost all of them are small wooden houses for one family or one person. There is a small fence in front of the house, small flowers and grass are planted in the yard, and from the rocking chair swing and the moist well, you can imagine how comfortable their life is. Around the wooden house, the big trees are still in the shade, and the whole village is bathed in verdant greenery. Whenever the sun shines into the village from the mountains, the river sparkles, the wooden waterwheels reverberate tirelessly, and the shadows of birds pass through the village, telling people that a new day has begun. The villagers here follow the will of the elders, and work at sunrise and rest at sunset.
Walking up the stone road, Li Tet marveled at the beauty of the Phantom Beast Village. He never thought that in this phantom beast dense forest, known as the "Land of Death", there would be such a fairyland on earth. Since it was not yet noon, Litt could still see many women fetching water from the river to cook or wash their clothes, as well as children playing in the water. The villagers here wear silk clothes and leather sandals in a variety of colors, but in Leeter's opinion, their style belongs to the classical kind. Along the way, he also saw buildings of the nature of hospitals, schools, shops, blacksmith shops, pharmacies, voodoo shops, etc., which were usually made in a unique style and were more visited by villagers.
Villagers who usually pass by stop and watch when they see Litkar, and after greeting them a little nervously, they speed up their pace and leave. It is easy to understand that Little's dark red hair is equivalent to hanging a "foreigner" name tag. And the only reason that they can greet each other seems to be the clothes on the two of them that blend in with the villagers. Although Carl says they are friendly, it will not be as easy as it seems to welcome new blood in this isolated village. At this moment, Li Te, who is dressed in a white silk robe, feels as if he has returned to a time long ago, with indescribable elegance and coolness all over the body. Li Te still paid attention to reasoning, but Carl was not too restrained, he should talk and laugh, and he didn't care what the villagers thought of him.
Seeing a lot of people, Li Teh carefully found that the villagers here have a characteristic, they are not too tall, and their complexion is also yellowish, which should be closer to normal humans to be precise. Li Teh himself is not a strongman, and his current height of 1.6 meters is definitely the kind of short man in Steel Blade City, but he is not yet of the age of development, and he is not worried about this at all. From childhood to adulthood, the most seen are the strongman clan, and the citizens in the city are either tall or strong. Even classmates of the same age in school are more than a head taller than themselves, so when Li Te walked in this village, he felt a little like coming from the land of giants to the land of Lilliputia. "Federation humans", these four words are the most accurate definitions that appear in Lee's mind at this moment, because these people not only look like federal humans in appearance, but also use standard federal languages. Compared with the language of the strongman, this language is more subdued and different from the severity. In school, Litt had learned the federal language, and it had both similarities and obvious differences.
The question in Littel's stomach was finally pouring out, and the reason why he didn't ask just now was because he wanted to try to find out for himself. But he realized that he was wrong, and he asked, "Carl, where are we? What are we doing now? What are those guys doing now? And what happened when I was asleep?"
Carl turned his head and smiled cutely, "Take it easy, my Sleeping God, while you are sleeping beautifully." Those guys, who I should call seniors, have long been out with a few young ladies who call themselves phantom beast masters. As for me, I was taken to the largest house up there by the sister of the Phantom Beast Master, who had a deep relationship with me, and met with a large group of old men and uncles, and by the way, my Blood Phoenix Dagger was temporarily lent to them for study. To thank me for my generosity, they decided to host a banquet for us. It's a pity that my sister was called away again, otherwise who would come back to see you sleep? Oh yes! Your dream talk seems to mention your master? You still have a master?"
Although this was not what Li Te wanted to hear, he was surprised enough, so he nodded as if he didn't understand, and replied angrily: "Well, I can talk about my dream later." You said they took your dagger away, how can you borrow ...... casually".
"Again......" Carl said disdainfully, gesturing to the place he had been.
Li Te casually looked in the direction of Karl's index finger, before going up the mountain, there seemed to be a large square, and in front of the square there was a three-story cathedral, which was not inferior to the Demon God Temple in terms of solemnity, giving people a very dignified and majestic feeling. It is a rare house built of stone, the three spire towers on the top are only the highest in the middle, and the four pillars and three doors on the base are the largest in the middle gate, fortunately, the pennant on the top is something that Li Teh has never seen, anyway, it is not the monogram of the Crystal Scepter Guild.
Litte asked, "Have you figured out a little bit about the basic situation here?"
Carl smiled and touched the back of his head, "Don't say it." That beautiful sister has a very nice name, Yu Xiangyao. It's like you, with such a cliché name. He was on the way, on the way to the house, and he apologized to me, saying that he was so excited that day, and that he had misunderstood...... I'm embarrassed. I don't know a lot, but I can tell you about it. ”
Lee: "...... Sometimes a name is really just a code name. Feelings, you remember the girl who knocked me out......"
Karl shook his head and said, "Oh my God, you've had such a weak time?...... First of all, you are lucky to be here, I estimate that there are not many people in the whole continent who know about this Phantom Beast Village, and it is impossible for ordinary people to come here, including the missing 'Beast King' back then, who may die somewhere near here. ”
Li Teh said in surprise: "Are you talking about the leader of the beastmaster of the 'Golden Mountain Society' that was rumored back then?"
Karl said, "I think so. I now understand that the approximate location of the Phantom Beast Village is in the heart of the Phantom Beast Forest. Counting from the Demon God Temple as the center, the people of the Phantom Beast Village divided the entire Phantom Beast Forest into nine ring areas. The area of each ring is also different, some are large and some are small. And it's not a regular ring, I looked at the map in the big house, and the three, four, and five rings in the middle are basically circles drawn with wavy lines. Our current location is the first ring area, as for the place where we were put down, the mentor said that it was the outer edge of the phantom beast jungle, but here it is classified as the ninth ring area. People from the outside world divide the dense forest into inner and outer circles, which is replaced by the village's statement, the first to fourth ring areas belong to the inner perimeter, and the fifth ring area and the outer periphery are the outer periphery. And the depths of the Phantom Beast Dense Forest, which the whole world fears and fears, are also the depths of the forest that you are curious about, right under your feet. ”
Li Tet nodded and said, "Oh my God...... Wait, squiggly lines, why are you drawing like that?"
Karl said, "It is said that it is the territory of powerful phantom beasts. Above the psychic level, there are also awakening levels and lord-level existences. My sister told us that we must always remember the danger of the Phantom Beast Jungle, and we must not be deceived by the peaceful appearance of the Phantom Beast Village. ”
Suddenly thinking of something, Li Tee asked suspiciously, "Wait! You said I slept for a day and a night, right? I'm a good geography, don't try to bluff me." The Phantom Beast Forest is not small on the world map, and it will take at least two months for an ordinary person to cross the Phantom Beast Forest without losing his way with all the tools and not getting lost. Even the strong or the well-trained will have to do it for a month. What's more, how can there be such good luck, getting lost in the forest that covers the sky is simply commonplace. Not to mention that this is a place full of phantom beasts, so tell me how they did it?"
Carl suddenly realized, "Yes. I patronized and went to chat with my sister, why didn't I ask!"
Li Teh was stunned, the back of his head was full of black lines, and sighed: "This place is definitely not as normal as it seems." This place is known as the Phantom Beast Village, but from just now to now, I haven't even found a single phantom beast's hair. The core area of the Phantom Beast Jungle is such a treasure of feng shui. No matter how you say it, you have to have one or two Phantom Beast Kings to guard it! These villagers are all ordinary ordinary people who can't be ordinary and have no power to tie chickens. No, your little bit of information really doesn't satisfy me, I'll have to go to the biggest house and ask for it myself. ”
