Chapter Twenty-Six: The Lost Gate
At the beginning of tomorrow, birds and beasts return to their nests.
The Whispering Forest, which had been obscured by the leafy trees, was even darker at the moment, and the cold moonlight could only see a few wisps of white through the gaps in the branches and leaves.
The gentle spring breeze gently brushed the treetops, bringing a rustling sound that woke up the "flower fairy" who lived in the cabin on the tree, and the house fell silent again after a few confused muttering.
I don't know if it was originally designed this way, or if the "flower fairies" rested. The windows of all the bedrooms on the third and fourth floors in the big tree are not blocked by branches and leaves, and the view is very open.
Yang Fan, who was standing at the window, looked at the bright moon and stars in the sky, and the corners of his mouth were slightly upturned. The breeze blew across his cheeks, a slight chill.
Turning to look at Lili, who was sleeping on the pillow, Yang Fan felt a trace of warmth rise in his heart.
The little guy's words in the evening made him cry and laugh, and finally explained to her that Xiao Cheng was not a thing but a partner, and she gave up the idea of pulling Xiao Cheng's skin.
Yang Fan even suspected that according to Lili's understanding, I am afraid that she will want to share half of her wife and children in the future. However, although the little guy is a little confused, he can always bring joy to himself, so Yang Fan also likes her very much.
After dinner, Yang Fan, who lacked entertainment, could only go to bed early, and as soon as he lay down, Lily flew to his chest again. When she was told to come down, she pretended to be asleep, and within a minute of grabbing her with her own hands, she climbed up again.
In order to prevent her from being crushed, Yang Fan could only helplessly let her sleep next to him. But she was too small to have a quilt and pillow for her, so in the end the little one slept on the pillow.
Lily quickly snored, and a hint of sparkle hung on the corner of her mouth. But Yang Fan couldn't sleep after tossing and turning, because until now Gate and the others had not returned, and they could not be seen on the side of the Holy Castle, and they were still sleepy under the worry in his heart.
Looking out the window, it was still silent, Yang Fan sighed helplessly, he didn't have enough manpower now, otherwise he would have led people to look for it all the way.
Just when he was secretly worried, a ray of brightness suddenly flashed in the lake, and Yang Fan stared at the lake tightly with a shock all over his body.
I saw that on the wooden bridge that was originally shrouded in fog, a few faint fires were swaying lightly with the wind, Yang Fan counted exactly five, and his hanging heart finally let go.
In order not to wake up Lily, Yang Fan lightly put on his coat and quietly left the bedroom.
Running all the way downstairs, Yang Fan stood at the door of the tree hole, looking at the firelight that was coming in his direction and smiled. Just now he was a little skeptical that someone else would find the wooden bridge on the shore of the lake and come to check it out, but now he didn't have those concerns, because he had seen them clearly, and there was no one else who was not Gate.
"Master, how did you get out. Come inside, don't catch a cold. Seeing Yang Fan running towards him in thin clothes, Gater hurriedly ran up and said.
At this moment, where can Yang Fan still care about those, he walked closer and patted Gate's shoulder, "Why have you been there for so long, I thought you were in trouble, and I was about to gather people to find you!"
Seeing that Yang Fan cared so much about himself, several people felt a warmth in their hearts.
"Master, when we went to bring a letter to the logging farmer, it was a smooth journey, but when we came back, it was delayed," said Gate, with a solemn face.
Yang Fan was very curious when he saw him, Gate was usually very proud, even today he had never shown such a cautious expression in the face of two sixth-order demonic beasts, what made him look like this?
Puzzled, Yang Fan carefully glanced at a few people, and saw that their clothes were a little tattered and even embarrassed, and hurriedly asked, "Did you encounter any danger when you came back?" Is it a human or a demonic beast?"
If it's a monster, he's not afraid, but if he meets someone at this time, I'm afraid that his territory will never be peaceful in the future.
"Master, let's go inside the house first! you wear such a thin dress, what if you get sick. Git said worriedly.
Yang Fan nodded, secretly thinking that no matter what happened, there would always be a solution, as long as the person was fine, so he calmed down again.
After entering the tree, everyone sat down in the hall on the first floor, and just saw it by the firelight, but it was not very real, and at this time, under the light of the "Night Pearl" on the tree wall, Yang Fan found that they were not only embarrassed, except for Gate and Keith, the other three archers were all slightly injured.
"Gat, tell me what happened to you, why are the three of them still injured?" Yang Fan asked with some urgency.
Gatet bowed his head and replied, "Master, we started walking back after we brought your order to the logging farmers, but we encountered a demonic beast just halfway through, exactly the same as the dinosaur we killed in today's sneak attack, and there were three. β
Yang Fan was stunned and looked at a few people in surprise. "Three dire crocodiles, how could there be so many, don't these monsters live in swamps? β
Getter and the others shook their heads, they didn't know anything about the world in the first place, where would they know these things.
"Then how did you escape?" Yang Fan would not be naΓ―ve enough to think that he could kill three sixth-order demonic beasts with just these few people, and he was also a guy with rough skin and thick flesh like a dire crocodile.
Gatt looked down and thought about it, and said with a sigh of relief: "At that time, we were in a hurry to come back and didn't think much about the surroundings, but when we found the first dinosaur, we were already surrounded. So I blessed Keith with a few of them with "Angry Force" and attacked one at the same time, opening a gap and running out, but fearing that they would follow us to find this place, so we circled around the woods until we just came back here. β
Although he said it lightly, Yang Fan knew that it must be very dangerous. The sixth-order water and soil dual-line dinosaur crocodile is not something that can be dealt with casually, as long as it is not a defeat for it and Xiao Cheng today, he will not dare to provoke it.
Looking at the three injured archers, Yang Fan sighed. After all, they are ranged troops, and their disadvantage is too obvious when fighting head-on.
Seeing that several people looked tired, Yang Fan waved his hand, "Keith, you take a few of them to rest first! There are a few fish in the kitchen that are hungry, so they can cook and eat by themselves, and by the way, make one for Gatter." β
Keith nodded, and led the three archers upstairs.
After a few people left, the hall suddenly fell silent, and Yang Fan and Gate sat opposite each other in the faint green light, each silent.
Bowing his head and pondering for a moment, Yang Fan looked at Gate and asked, "Are those farmers who are logging okay?
Unexpectedly, there were also mid-level demonic beasts on the periphery of the forest now, and Yang Fan was a little worried about the safety of the farmers who were logging.
It took a while for Gat to reflect and reply, "They're fine, I heard the archers say that they haven't encountered even a single low-level demonic beast all day today." β
Seeing that Gatt seemed to be in a wrong mood, Yang Fan was a little puzzled, "What's wrong?"
Gate raised his head and looked at Yang Fan, his mouth squirmed a few times before he finally shook his head.
"What the hell is going on, this is not like you usual" After a pause, he asked, "Is it because of the encounter with the dire crocodile?" When he left here, he was fine, but now he is so low, Yang Fan can easily guess the reason.
Hearing his question, Gated took a deep breath and said, "Master, I feel very useless. As the great magician of the academy, he couldn't even solve a few small magical beasts, and he almost caused Keith to lose his surname, which is really worthy of his love for his master. β
Yang Fan was stunned, looking at Gate's lost appearance and smiling bitterly. "It's not that you're useless, it's that the power system of this world is very different from your world, and when I collect the cultivation methods of martial arts and magic for you in the future, you will be stronger than any person of the same level or other creatures, so don't be presumptuous. And you've done a good job, aren't they coming back safely, and if you can escape surrounded by three dire crocodiles, even the Great Magus who is one rank higher than you can't do it!"
Gate's eyes lit up, he didn't pay attention to Yang Fan's words of comfort behind him, what he cared about was the cultivation method of magic.
He had long heard Yang Fan talk about the many kinds of magicians in this world, and he had always been envious in his heart. Yang Fan's words just now undoubtedly gave him hope to become stronger, which made him very excited.
"Master, are you telling the truth? can we really learn the magic of this world?"
Seeing Get's reddened and expectant gaze, Yang Fan smiled. "Of course it's true, as long as I collect the magic book, I will definitely let you all learn the magic of this world. β
After getting Yang Fan's promise, Getter finally put aside the loss in his heart, cheered up again, and then chatted with Yang Fan for a few words and went upstairs to rest with an excited mood.
Yang Fan looked at Gat's happy appearance and sighed in his heart, he didn't know if Gatt could learn the power of this world, but in order to enlighten Gat, he could only build a good wish for him.
