Chapter 14: Departure, Dark Regions

After a night of galloping, at dawn, Shavina and her party finally came to the golden fields three hundred miles east of Waterdeep. The dawn light shines on the young leaves of the shrubs covered with spring dew, and the light is like a rainbow.

"Whew!"

Exhaling a deep breath of heat, which turned into a mist in the early spring chill, the night of galloping made Efeld, a god-like creature, feel a little tired, and Savina had fallen asleep on his broad back with Efeld's head in his arms.

"Shavina, we're here!

Efeld gently shook her body while speaking in the depths of her mind, and then Savina supported her toned body from Efeld's body, stretching a lot, revealing the curves of her whole body.

"Efeld, are we here?

"That little mage is quite persistent and nimble, he has added many buffs to his mount, followed me all night, and is now resting in the grove behind. ”

Zhu Ba turned his head slightly to look at the grove behind him, pointing out the location of the little mage for Shavina. A handsome boy named Sok was leaning against a tree, hugging in the early spring cold, his frowning brows not relaxing even in his sleep, still worried about the comfort of his sister Katyusha.

"Judging from the current situation, he should not be a liability. ”

Shavina nodded, a hint of satisfaction in her bright apricot eyes. If you are not afraid of god-like enemies, you are afraid of pig-like teammates, and now it seems that the little mage should be a qualified teammate.

"Katyusha, Katyusha!"

The sleeping little mage suddenly danced with his hands, as if trying to catch something, and then he grabbed the tail of the war horse that was standing beside him and fell asleep, and in pain, the war horse kicked on one of his hind legs, trampling the little mage under his feet, and then he woke up.

Efeld wordlessly raised his front paws to cover his face, and Savina jumped off the cat's back to pull the war horse away, fortunately the little mage had changed his leather armor yesterday, and the horse's kicking only made his chest bruise a little more, and did not hurt his internal organs.

"Next time you go to bed, don't sleep next to the horse, the sleeping horse is easily frightened. ”

Savina, who drove the war horse to the side, picked up the little mage with her hand, and admonished, the silkiness of her arm made Soke's face instantly red like a fire.

"Thank you...... Thanks, Miss Shavina, I'll pay attention next time. ”

The little one jumped and broke away from Savina's arm, and even stopped talking, and Shavina and Efeld were all happy to watch. But his next sentence made everyone serious again.

"Miss Shavina, are we here?"

Shavina nodded and replied.

"Well, we're here, but with such a big golden field, what about us starting from **?"

Hey. I have a way. ”

The little mage smiled, carefully pulled out a roll of sheepskin from his bosom, and then looked for a slightly flat rock, and after sweeping the dust from the rock, he slowly spread out the roll of sheepskin.

"This map was found by my teacher from the laboratory of a lich, and I begged for a long time to borrow it. No, this is Waterdeep, this is the Golden Fields. ”

The little mage's index finger slid over the parchment, though the lines on the parchment were not delicate or even rudimentary to Efeld, who had seen more advanced latitude maps and GPMAPs. But in the world of Ferron in this era, this parchment is entirely qualified to be an heirloom.

The parchment recorded all the terrain in the vicinity of Waterdeep, and following the young mage's index finger, one after another the names of places that Savina and Efeld had never heard of came out of his mouth, and finally his index finger landed on a six-pointed star icon made up of two triangles.

The little mage's face became serious, and he slowly said the name of a place.

"Fevent Hills, there was once an elven village in ancient times, but a landslide connected the dark realm to the surface world, and then the elven village was destroyed by the hands of the swarming dark elves, we should start here. ”

"How far is that place?"

Shavina asked, shifting her gaze from the map to the little mage's delicate face.

"I don't know very well, because it's so old. ”

A hint of embarrassment flashed across Sock's little face, and he shook quickly at Savina's reddened smile.

Efeld continued to stare at the parchment scroll, he pulled a trace of the divine surname from outside the soul light ball and poured it into his eyes, and then countless lines continued to rise and deform in his dark golden pupils, and finally formed a latitude and longitude chart, engraved this latitude and longitude chart into his mind, Efeld raised his thoughts infinitely, looking at the ground from the highest place, and at the same time comparing it with the latitude and longitude chart in his mind.

"This is Waterdeep, this is the Golden Fields...... , found, Fevent Hill. ”

As if looking down on the ground from the sky, Efeld spotted a hill identical to the map from among the countless verdant hills, and on the edge of this hill, a small piece of rock and a large falling rock formed a strange state.

"Shavina, I've discovered Fevent Hill, about eight miles from here, do you want to set off at once?"

Efeld relayed his findings to Savina's heart, and Savina's spirits were lifted when she received the message.

"Sock! Efeld has found the location of Fevent Hill, let's go at once!"

"Ahh

The little mage, who was still contemplating the position of the hill, sighed, and before he could react, Shavina had already ridden Efield and ran away, and hurriedly rolled up the sheepskin and put it in his arms, and Sock stepped on his war horse and hurriedly chased after him.

When Savina and Sock nagged about the Fevant hills, the sun had grown from a young boy to a ** man, and endless light and heat shone on the entire golden field. The Golden Fields get their name for the hot sun, but also because of the golden leaves that dye the fields golden in autumn.

"Humanoids are passing by here, and just last night, they were fast and light. ”

Shavina searched the ground carefully and soon found clues, while Efeld kept his nose close to the ground.

"There was a very faint smell, something I had never smelled before. ”

His nose twitched, wetting his nasal cavity with all the odor molecules that an olfactory cell analyst could find, and suddenly, his movements stopped.

"There's a familiar human smell mixed in with this faint smell, and it's ......," Efeld searched

Glancing at his brain's database, he looked up and spoke.

"Shavina, I've found Katyusha. ”

"What? Where is the Katyusha?"

The first to react was not Savina, but Thorke, who had been looking for the footprints of the dark elves on the other side, and the wind carried Efeld's words into his ears, and he immediately pounced. "Don't scratch my ears! Shavina, calm him down!"

Efeld shook off Soke, who was clutching his head, and asked Savina to grab the excited little mage, while he lowered his head and continued to search for Katyusha's breath, while Savina grabbed the excited Sock and followed.

One step, two steps, the smell of Katyusha became stronger and stronger, and when the smell reached its maximum, Efeld's nose also rubbed against a large, rough object.

"The smell just disappears under this rock, and there must be a passage to the Dark Elf city underneath. ””

Efeld looked up and said to Savina and Sock, who let go of Soke, who had calmed down, and began to observe the huge rock in front of her. Sock, on the other hand, was taken aback by the fact that he hadn't noticed it just now.

"A bobcat can talk?"

"This rock is too big, there's no way we can move him!"

Savina was a little frustrated after walking around the rock, and the whole rock made her walk around it for more than sixty steps, which means that the diameter of the rock was more than a hundred feet.

"Get out of the way, I've got a way. ”

Efeld motioned for Shavina and Sock to get away from the rocks, and then he took a deep breath, the muscles of his body bulging, and he pressed his limbs down slightly, sixteen half-foot-long silver Edman metal claws already protruding from between his toes.

With a ferocious pounce, Efeld had leapt to the top of the rock, and between the claws flying, countless neat stone strips were thrown from the top of the rock like chopped tofu blocks, and in an instant, the huge rock was missing a large circle on the top.

Three minutes later, when Efeld jumped off the rock, letting the breeze blow the stone chips away, Shavina and Sock were exposed to a dark, deep cavern. (To be continued.) )
