Chapter 345: Avalon (2)
Ike sat cross-legged on the boat, not a wand, but an iron sword glowing with cold light.
It wasn't a precious weapon made by a goblin, it was just an ordinary mortal thing, and at most it was just a blade.
He was also afraid, after all, Ravenclaw said that in the manuscript, wouldn't it be stupid not to prepare in advance?
However, such preparations should have been useless, until the boat carried Ike through the swamp, and nothing happened.
Stepping on solid ground, Ike subconsciously put on his own protection, and he was surprised to succeed. The faint soft light flashed away, and my heart couldn't help but feel a lot more steady.
Losing the ability to cast spells is really insecure.
Behind the swamp is a dense forest. Faintly, you can still see the lush appearance of the past, but now, most of the plants here have lost their vivid green color and are covered in an eerie black.
Walking out of the way, you can only see a few weeds that are still standing strong, and there are also green leaves on the tops of a few large trees. Other than that, it's all weirdly twisted black branches.
It seems to be contaminated by something.
"When the Big Four came here a thousand years ago, this wasn't what it looked like...... What's going on? ”
Ike muttered to himself, flicking a levitation charm in his hand to allow his body to float.
The Big Four walked through this dense forest with their feet on the ground, and Godric Gryffindor even used the precious Gryffindor Sword to walk in front of the battle. Regardless of the reason for their choice of this method of passage, whether it was as forbidden as the jungle and swamp at that time, or pure entertainment, Ike would never relax.
From the moment you enter Avalon, weird places are endless. The chaotic time, the forbidden realm, and the jungle that seemed to have been polluted by something, even if I didn't see it with my own eyes, Ike's hairs hadn't fallen from the moment he stepped onto that black boat.
In the dark, he had a feeling of being watched by danger, and this feeling became even stronger after entering the dense forest.
As a wizard, many times, the feeling in the dark is more believable than what you see with your eyes.
The body slowly floated forward, and as it advanced, the branches that had been blocking in front of it were immediately pushed to the sides by a gentle force, revealing a smooth passage.
Ike didn't want to break the strange branches, but it was clear that many of them would break with just a touch. They are so fragile that they must have been dead for many years without a shred of moisture.
and when they fell to the ground, they scattered.
Ike's brow furrowed even tighter, and the constant crackling of branches in his ears made the feeling of danger even stronger.
Wrong!
Ike stopped suddenly, waved his wand, and jerked his body up very high, looking ahead, only to see several even uglier clearings suddenly appear in the dense forest as far as the eye could see.
It's not accurate to say that it's an open space, there is still something on it, but I can't see it clearly from a distance, and I can only vaguely feel that it is a pyramid-like thing.
Quickly feeling the nearest clearing, Ike was completely stunned after seeing what was in the center of the clearing......
The mountains were all black bones!
The bones were stacked layer by layer, some slightly more complete, but more were scattered broken bones. After careful identification, I found that those were all people who had turned into dry bones, and I don't know how many there were.
Ike took to the air again, and quickly flew to another mountain of bones, where he made another look, only to find that it was very different from the first one.
There are very few human bones, more of a kind of bones that I don't know what kind of creature is.
Their skulls are large and long, with slightly shorter jaws and high cheekbones, more like beasts than men. And, without exception, all the bones were very thick, and far darker than the last one had seen, as if that were their original color.
One by one, Ike turned around the mountains of bones as far as his sight could see, and the doubts in his heart became more and more.
"What the hell is going on here!"
He stood in front of the mountain of bones that he had flown to last, and this place was different from everything before. The mountain of bones is much smaller than the previous one, but incredibly, all the bones come from an unknown creature.
It's so complete that you can even see what it looked like when it died.
Then, in the direction behind the beast, there was a ravine full of rubble, leading straight into the distance.
"So...... Is it rushed out of the inside? ”
"Is it to run for your life, or is it ...... What to hunt down? ”
With a flick of his wand, Ike scurried toward the long ravine in front of him. It's fast, and you can even roll up the fine sand on the ground wherever you go.
His curiosity was so great that he desperately wanted to know what was going on in Avalon, and how could he look like a tragic battlefield? Who are the lake fairies and green knights fighting against?
And what will turn the lush jungle in the eyes of the Big Four into what it is now in the course of a thousand years?
All of this is really making people want to find out!
Ike galloped, and the scenery on both sides quickly fell behind him, but the ravine in front of him was still out of sight.
I don't know how long it flew, but in order to maintain his magic, Ike even stopped and rested three times before finally reaching the end of the ravine. Looking at the vast lake in front of him and the small islands looming in the lake, Ike knew that he had arrived in the heart of Avalon without any prompting:
The legendary resting place of King Arthur, the most mysterious place in Avalon, the residence of the fairies of the lake - a true gensylour away from the world.
However, Ike did not rush towards the island in the lake, but stopped at the lake. Not for anything else, just because the water of the lake is so weird.
A layer of pale green mist hangs over the surface of the lake, and through the mist, you can clearly see that the lake water is a creepy pale red. When I smelled it, there was a faint smell of fish, like blood.
The water is not calm, and there are always bubbles rushing up from the bottom of the lake. It exploded on the surface of the lake, and the mist on the surface of the lake immediately emptied.
The wand pointed to the side, and a broken branch fell straight into the lake. In the next second, the broken branch sank directly to the bottom, only splashing a little ripple.
Ike subconsciously took a few steps back, and just after the broken branch entered the water, the entire lake was strangely calm, and even those bubbles were gone, only the splashing ripples were still spreading and reverberating.
Then, gradually, the mist fell into the lake, which turned an eerie green. The smell of fish in the air was getting thicker and thicker, and it seemed that something was brewing.
It has been so calm for a long time, maybe only ten minutes. Suddenly, the lake exploded, and the green water rose into the sky, and then scattered in all directions.
In the next second, a green figure burst out of the lake, holding a long wooden stick in one hand and a sword glowing with cold light in the other. In the blink of an eye, he rushed in front of Ike.
Then the sword was raised high and slashed at Ike's head!
