Chapter Twenty-Three: The Book of Wishes

Kyle told him that except for the two-headed wolf in the grass at the very edge of the Wailing Forest, which is fixed over there, the territory of other monsters generally does not have a fixed territory, and what you encounter depends on your luck. If you're lucky, you may not encounter anything, and it's normal for you to come in with a monster as strong as a nightmare. In other words, these adventurers who are familiar with the Wailing Forest are only familiar with some of the geographical locations. And they are generally on the periphery, never going inside the Wailing Mountains. In fact, including the place of sighs where Horn was going, it was also on the outskirts of the Wailing Mountains.

Horn had just learned some general information about the Wailing Mountains.

On the thirteenth day after they were separated from the three of them, the four of them finally crossed the mountains and arrived at the Land of Sighs only one mountain apart. Standing on the top of the mountain, you can already see the Land of Sighs.

The Land of Sighs is actually a basin surrounded by mountains, and this basin covers at least a hundred kilometers. It's enough to be the domain of a barony of the Sunderland Empire. There is no grass growing in this basin, and it is all desert. This made Horn wonder how the climate here was warm, so there was no grass.

From a distance, there is always a cloud over the basin, which is just about the size of the basin. The cloud blocked the sunlight, and there were no whole rocks in the basin, most of them were rocks, no bigger than a fist. And it looks dark.

At this time, it is morning. Horn estimates the distance. It takes about a day to climb the mountain, and it is exactly dark to reach the edge of the basin. After a good night's rest, tomorrow officially enters the basin.

During this time, Horn also asked if there were any major buildings in the Land of Sighs. Are there any tyrannical monsters? But Kyle, they all said no. Because some adventurers have also explored the Land of Sighs before, but they have not encountered anything, not even grass grows, and living things need food, and it is basically impossible to have living creatures without food. In addition, if you look at the basin during the day, if there is any large building, you can see a blurry image.

So where the hell is that magic tower? Horn couldn't figure it out, so he could only comfort himself that maybe this magic tower was relatively small, and it could only be seen up close, or it was underground. But I've never heard of a magic tower built underground.

But it's already on the ground, and Horn doesn't think about it that much. Not finding the magic tower is equal to death, find it or die, it's as simple as that.

The four of them climbed from morning to dusk, and finally reached the foot of the mountain, and as soon as they got out of the woods, they reached the edge of the basin.

At this time, Gu Dong couldn't help but ask Horn, "What is your purpose here?"

"Find something, a magic tower, to be precise. "When Horn got to the ground, he told the truth.

"Magic Tower? There's a magic tower in this place where birds don't, you're kidding. Gu Dong's eyes widened, and he looked disbelieving.

"I don't know, but I've already promised someone that I won't be able to do it if I don't come. Horn smiled bitterly and said with little confidence.

"Hey, that's not going to work! Although I didn't say that I would take you out, I see that we have been together for so many days, and you are not bad, we can take you out in a good way. But if you can't find the magic tower, we won't wait for you. Gu Dong said.

Horn didn't expect this magic tower to be so difficult to find, he thought that something as big as a magic tower would be easy to find. Just take the key and go in and find the kind of way that can turn ordinary people into magicians. I can only blame myself for thinking too simply. As Gu Dong said, it is too dangerous to go out of this wailing mountain range by yourself.

After thinking about it for a moment, he said, "I am very grateful that you were able to bring me here, and that you were willing to take me out." I have a request if you can wait here for a few days, and if I can't find it, you can go first. I'll be honest, if I can't find the Magic Tower, I don't think I'll live long, or I won't be in this damn Wailing Mountains. ”

"That's it...... wait for you," Gudong said, looking at Kyle and Brusto for their opinions.

Kyle and Brusto thought about it for a moment, and both nodded in agreement. So Gu Dong said, "Then let's do it! We will wait for you here for five days, and if you don't come back or leave after five days, we will go back." ”

"Well, thank you so much. Horn said with a smile. Suddenly thinking that he still owed them half of the honorarium, he hurriedly took out fifty-five magic gold coupons from his bosom and gave them to Gu Dong, and said, "These four thousand five hundred gold coins are the remaining half of the honorarium, and this thousand gold coins are the compensation for Popuna's bottle of magic potion." ”

Gu Dong laughed: "We have accepted the four thousand five hundred gold coins, but you can keep the one thousand gold coins for yourself." We're in the business of adventurers, and we've taken on the task. Even if you die, you won't ask for any compensation. And Popner was joking with you at the time. ”

"No, since I promised to compensate her at the time, whether it was a joke or not, I will do it. Horn said solemnly.

Gu Dong saw that Horn was so resolute that he had no choice but to accept it. He said: "We dwarves like the most people who are trustworthy, if you can get out of this wailing mountain range, I will make a friend of yours." ”

Dwarves are arguably a rather rigid race, and once they promise something, they will keep it. In the same way, they also like people who keep their promises. Once they consider you a friend, they will help with anything they can.

Horn also knew the dwarf's temper, and gladly accepted it at the moment and said, "Okay, if I can get out of the Wailing Mountains, I'll invite you to the best tavern in Sunderland and let you have enough to drink." ”

Gu Dong's eyes couldn't help but light up, and he had no resistance to fine wine at all. Haha laughed: "You said it yourself, let me drink enough." ”

"Of course," Horn said, nodding.

Then, looking ahead, he pointed to the open space in front of him: "Then we will camp there today, and tomorrow I will go to find the magic tower." ”

So the four of them walked out of the woods.

At this moment, about a kilometer away from the four people, several black dots were gradually approaching. Judging by the blurry image, it should be human.

Horn and the four of them were stunned, they hadn't touched anyone since they entered the Wailing Mountain Range, but they didn't expect to be able to meet people here. And those people had obviously seen them and were approaching them.

The four of them glanced at each other, asking for each other's opinions. The people who can appear in such a dangerous place are obviously not ordinary people, ordinary people have simply arrived here. The people who came were at least some strong men. What is the purpose of the comeder? Malicious or benevolent?

"Be on guard first, depending on the situation," Horn said, he finally got here, even if there was malice on the other side, he had to stay, he had no way out.

Although the three of them in the ancient cave didn't think it was very appropriate, Horn didn't leave, and they couldn't leave him alone. You can only take out all your weapons and be on guard.

As the group approached, there were three people on the opposite side, a young man and two middle-aged people.

The three of them walked to a place where Horn and the other four people stopped more than ten meters. I guess I saw the guarded look of the four people.

Horn looked at the three. The young man had long blue hair that curled like the waves of the sea. The facial features are like a knife and an axe, rigid and soft. The nose is high, like a hanging gall, the corners of the mouth are slightly raised, and the smile is like a spring breeze caressing. The eyes are sharp and illuminating. The sturdy and straight figure, like a high mountain, is convincing. Coupled with the natural temperament, there is a feeling that makes people's hearts break and want to worship their feet. Such as this appearance, how many girls are excited. With such a temperament, how many heroes and heroes can bend their waists.

The two middle-aged people around him are a lot different, one has triangular eyes, gloomy eyes, a nose like an eagle's hook, thin lips and sparse teeth, and a lean figure. It shows that this person has a gloomy heart and is not the type to get along with. The other middle-aged person is the complete opposite type, with big shoulders and a round waist, five short figures, small eyebrows and small eyes, and plump cheeks, and a really smiling Buddha appearance. But the eyes in those little eyes always flickered. I guess it's not a character to mess with.

And one thing is that except for the young man in the middle who can't see through it, the breath judgment revealed by the other two people has the strength of a middle-level samurai. There is always a feeling of superiority in the two of them.

The three of them also looked at the four of them. The blue-haired young man first said, "It's really fate to be able to meet you in a place where people are extremely rare.

Horn saw that this blue-haired young man had no malice, and he didn't want to offend them, so he also smiled and said: "In the vast sea of people, meeting is fate." It is really my honor to meet such a suave and suave person like your Excellency in such a place. ”

"Haha, it's over. Appearance is just a shell, good-looking and ugly can't say anything, the most important thing is to look at the heart. The blue-haired young man said modestly.

"Your Excellency is humble. I forgot to introduce myself, my name is Horn, and these three are Gudong, Brusto, and Kyle. Horn smiled.

"I'm Ezreal Helix, these two are my guards. It's Guhusky Helik who is thin, and Mark Dekrick who is fat. After introducing himself, the blue-haired young man pointed to the fat man and the thin man.

"Luckily," Horn nodded and smiled at the trio. It's just that I feel like I've heard the young man's name somewhere, but I can't remember it all at once.

The young man also smiled in return, while the other two fat and thin men reluctantly nodded, which was considered a return gift.

There was silence for a while, but Horn couldn't help but ask first, "I wonder what the purpose of His Excellency Ezreal is here?"

Ezreal sighed and said, "I'm looking for something, but I haven't been looking for it for days. I don't know what your purpose is, Lord Horn?"

Hearing Ezreal say to find something, Horn's heart couldn't help but be shocked. If you can't go back, you're looking for a way to turn ordinary people into magicians.

Thinking of this, I was nervous for a while, and I smiled reluctantly: "I'm also looking for something." I don't know what it is, maybe we can help. ”

"Really," Ezreal glared at Horn, as if he could see through Horn's thoughts. Makes Horn feel sick.

"I'm looking for a book, have you ever heard of the Book of Wishes?" asked Ezreal.
