Chapter 21: The First Arrival in the Bloody Canyon
Sodo and his party walked on the road unhurriedly, although it was very close to the opening day of the Sundahl Academy, but as long as they arrived in Luole City, they could go through the magic array in Guò City and directly reach Sundahl, thus saving most of the time. Due to the cumbersome construction of magic circles, and the need to spend a lot of money and manpower, the magic association only has magic circles in some large cities, so it is convenient for magicians to travel between cities. Of course, if other people want to use the magic circle, they can do it, but it will cost a lot of money.
It was almost noon, and the group slowly walked into a canyon. The canyon is several hundred meters high on both sides, and the mountain is almost perpendicular to the ground, with narrow passages that can only accommodate a horse-drawn carriage to pass through Guò.
Fang Yu poked his head out of the window and said, "Teacher, what kind of place is this?"
Sodo said: "This is the Gallo Gorge, the only way to the city of Roll. In the past, when there were frequent wars, I don't know how many people were buried here. Sodonu pursed his lips and said, "Do you see those red soils? It is said that it is stained red with countless blood, so some people also call it 'Red Canyon' or 'Bloody Canyon'." ”
Dia and Elle also opened the windows and looked outside. Dia laughed, "I've heard before that if you dig up here, you can see dead people's bones. At night, you can even hear shouts of killing and terrible screams. ”
Sodo smiled: "Yes, there is such a thing. It is said that none of the people who crossed the canyon at night survived, and all of them died miserably, without a piece of good flesh on their bodies, as if they had been bitten by wild beasts. ”
Ellie covered her mouth, her eyes were full of horror, and her little face turned a little white with fright.
Suo Duo said: "It's okay, it's daytime anyway, there's nothing to be afraid of." Despite what Sodo said, Ellie couldn't hide her fear.
Fang Yu said with a smile: "There is a teacher here, do you need to be afraid of any dead spirits?"
Dia also said: "That is, Lord Sodo is here, even if there is really a necromancy, he will not dare to approach us." ”
Hearing Fang Yu and Dia say this, Elle finally felt relieved. Lord Sodo is a dignified seventh-order magician, and by his side, there really shouldn't be anything to be afraid of. But a little girl still felt a little weak when she heard such a thing.
Fang Yu said: "Teacher, could it really be just a beast?"
Sodo shook his head and said, "Look at this canyon, the terrain is so steep, it is impossible for any wild beast to inhabit it. ”
Fang Yu frowned and said, "Could it be that the fierce beasts outside came in to forage for food?"
Sodo said with a smile: "This side of the canyon is a wilderness, there will not be any large beasts, and through the canyon, there is Luoer City, if there are dangerous monsters outside the city, they should have been exterminated by the defenders a long time ago." ”
Fang Yu laughed and said, "In this way, it really can't be explained." ”
Suo Duo said: "Rumors are just rumors, whether there is such a thing or not, no one dares to say really clear." ”
Dia suddenly pulled the corners of her mouth, showed a strange smile, and said, "Lord Sodo, why don't we spend the night here tonight?" ”
When Elle heard this, her face turned white, and she hurriedly said, "Don't!
Sodo smiled: "Dia, even if you are not afraid, you must always take care of Ellie, she is a girl." ”
Dia grinned, "I'm just saying, I don't really want to spend the night here." ”
Suo Duo tapped his fingers on his knee for a while, and said, "If I wasn't in a hurry to go back, I would really want to stay here for one night." After living for so long, I haven't seen what necromancy is really like. ”
At this time, Dia suddenly wondered: "What is that?" Looking at Dia's finger, the white in the red dirt was very conspicuous.
Ellie was curious to take a closer look, and wondered, "What is it?"
Sodo said lightly: "Bones, right?"
"Bone ......" Elle suddenly exclaimed, and Ma*'s little face turned around, and she didn't look out the window again.
Dia still stared at the white, nodded and said, "It does look like a bone." Then he wondered, "But Lord Sodo, how did the bones run to the ground?"
Suo Duo smiled: "There are countless people who died here, and at first they moved out one by one and buried them, but there were too many dead bodies, and even one on top of the other, it was really difficult to clean up, and finally they simply sprinkled soil on top of it and compacted it." This was also done after the end of the war. But with so many people coming and going, and the rain washing away, it's not surprising that some bones are exposed. ”
Thinking of the piles of white bones under her feet, Ellie clutched her clothes tightly with both hands, eager to fly.
Fang Yu suddenly thought of a sentence, "One will make ten thousand bones wither", and these white bones under his feet don't know who they have achieved.
Suo Duo said: "After passing through this canyon, after walking for half a day, we will arrive at Luoer City, and then we don't have to work so hard, we can go back to Shengdal Academy directly." "Although Sodo is a seventh-order magician, the bumps in the carriage still make Sodo feel tired, after all, Sodo is just a magician, and his body is very fragile.
Fang Yu found that from the moment he entered the Gallo Canyon, Ye had been looking out the window, as if something was attracting Ye.
Fang Yu said, "Night, what are you looking at?" Hearing Fang Yu's words, Sodo, Dia, and Elle all looked at Ye and walked together for a few days, as if nothing could attract Ye's attention. Now the behavior of the night really made them curious.
Ye turned his head and looked at Fang Yu lightly. Fang Yu smiled and asked again, "What are you looking at?"
Night lowered her head, then turned her head out the window again.
Sodo shook his head and said, "Night kid, he still won't say anything. ”
Fang Yu didn't feel embarrassed, and said, "Maybe it's because you're not familiar with us, right?" But looking at the appearance of the night, it doesn't seem to make a difference whether you are familiar or not.
Stretching slightly, Fang Qi snorted twice and got out of Fang Yu's arms. After a few days of getting along, Dia and Elle have become accustomed to Fang Qi's storage zài, and they no longer exclaim in surprise.
Fang Qi lay comfortably on Fang Yu's shoulder, grabbing Fang Yu's clothes with his paws in boredom.
Fang Yu found that Fang Qi didn't like to stay with Suo Duo and Ye very much, and usually hid in Fang Yu's clothes to sleep, so he was really panicked, so he would come out to breathe. It is understandable to hate Suo Fang Yu, but why he hates the night, Fang Yu really doesn't know.
took out a piece of magic crystal and fed it to Fang Qi, the little guy seems to have grown a little bit in the past few days, and his claws are also a lot sharper.
Because Fang Yu had not officially entered the Sundahl Academy, Sodo was not good at teaching Fang Yu magic, even the most basic meditation was not good, so he had been feeding Fang Qi's magic crystals to provide Fang Qi with mana. Suo Duo said that after Fang Yu began to learn magic, Fang Yu himself would be able to provide Fang Qi with magic power, and Fang Qi's growth would be extremely rapid at that time.
