Chapter 7 Set off, target the Emerald Forest
Early in the morning, Emma, who fell asleep early, naturally woke up from her sleep earlier than Robben.
"Uh-huh......" Emma woke up a little dazed, but the refreshing feeling and the unrestrained freedom from below made her wake up quickly. Careless, she hurriedly took out a set of clothes from the necklace and put them on.
After putting on her underwear, she began to choose her outerwear.
"He said he had to wear long sleeves and pants for adventures in the forest, so ......" Emma recalled what Robben had said to her yesterday, and then pulled a pair of blue trousers and a white shirt from her necklace. The blue trousers are ordinary blue pants, nothing more than a stronger fabric, and the white shirt is more delicate, with intricate lace on the neckline and cuffs, which looks much better than ordinary shirts.
Emma put on her shirt, took out two ribbons and tied them around her wrists, sealed the cuffs, and tied the hem of the shirt into her pants, and when the hems were tucked into the boots, most of her body was covered by the clothes. As for the outermost clothes, they are naturally wizard robes and witch hats, which are extremely practical.
After dressing and briefly picking herself up, the girl walked out of the bedroom.
At this time, Robben was also woken up by Emma's movement, he was sitting on the board bed in a daze with two dark circles under his eyes and his hair was unkempt.
"You didn't seem to have much sleep last night?"
Robben glanced at Emma weakly, not wanting to speak. Why didn't you rest well, you should know it in your heart! Miss, what did you use when you took a shower at night, and why did it smell so good?! I can smell it outside my bedroom!
But it's not easy to say it directly, according to the original words of the heart demon, this is called "the heart demon thinks that something is wrong with you when he hears it", so he can only say two perfunctory sentences, and then turn the topic to today's itinerary.
Sure enough, the little witch's attention was successfully diverted. At this moment, she couldn't wait to fly directly to the Emerald Forest to find the most suitable core and wood for her staff.
Urged by this eagerness, the two of them ate something casually to fill their stomachs and then headed towards the Emerald Forest.
Not far south of the sister city is the Emerald Forest, where there are so many adventurers that there is even a stone-paved road outside the city that leads to the forest. The road is lined with vendors and adventurers shouting and forming teams. This kind of adventurer who only started to seek teammates when he reached the edge of the forest was a rookie who was not even a silver-level adventurer, and Robben didn't bother to take care of them at all, so he entered the forest on his own.
When they first entered the forest, the road under their feet was still the kind of dirt road that could allow two carriages to run in parallel, and as the two of them went deeper and deeper, the road gradually narrowed, and the trees beside the road became taller and denser, and finally the dirt road under their feet disappeared completely, which also represented that Robben and Emma officially stepped into the Emerald Forest.
The goal of this mission was to obtain the right staff core, which at first glance seemed like a very general request, but after careful consideration, Robben also came up with his own plan: in any case, go deeper into the forest first. After so many years of development, the area outside the forest has been "plowed down" by countless adventurers, and there are only some mushrooms left, so the only way to get rare materials is to go as deep into the forest as possible.
Only in the depths of the forest can you encounter powerful magical beasts and rare wood, and Robben's purpose is certainly not to hunt them, but to pick up leaks. The feathers, bones, and shells and horns of these animals are ideal for making a wick.
"If you're lucky enough to find a unicorn colony, you've got a wand core - their tail hairs or unicorns are the best wand cores." Robben took out a small bottle and handed it to Emma, which was the insect repellent potion he had bought, which could effectively repel mosquitoes. The mosquitoes in this dense forest are very poisonous, and being bitten is not a joke.
Emma sprayed the potion on her body and asked suspiciously, "Can you really find a unicorn?" Legend has it that there is a unicorn tribe deep in the Emerald Forest, but no one has actually encountered them for nearly thirty years. β
"Unicorns are cautious by nature, and it's normal to be difficult to meetβ" A gust of wind blew, bringing a distant sound, and Robben put his palm to his ear and listened carefully for a moment.
"I heard the sound of the water, there should be a stream near here, and we can follow the direction of the flow." Robben used his machete to cut through the branches that blocked the way and walked in the direction of the sound of the water.
Walking in dense forests with no roads at all is very difficult, and the fallen leaves deposited on the ground turn into humus, making it difficult to walk. Emma had Robben in front of her, and it was still very difficult to walk, let alone Robben at the front.
Robben heard it right, there was a stream dozens of meters away from them, but the distance of these dozens of meters took nearly ten minutes for the two of them.
When Robben cut the last few vines, everything suddenly became clear.
A small stream about five or six meters wide appeared in front of the two of them, the water was clear, and with a relatively open field of vision, the mood of both of them was happy.
Robben bowed a handful of water and washed his face. He was sweating a lot as he first opened the road. Emma did the same, squatting down next to him and washing her hands and face with the stream.
"What's next?"
"Follow the stream, go upstream." Robben didn't have a clue, because Emma's request for "a stick core suitable for her" was very abstract, and there was no way to start it, so he could only go deep into the forest first.
Walking along the creek, the road is a bit better.
After reaching a consensus, the two of them went up the stream until the sun sank in the west, the two had gone deep into the Emerald Forest, the surrounding environment was no longer as safe as the periphery, and Robben and Emma could encounter the monster at any time.
"Let's get here today." Glancing at the sky, Robben, who found that it was almost dark, decided to stop camping, he didn't want to go in the dark in the forest.
He fetched some dead branches from the nearby woods, and by the same time Emma had set up the tent with a wand.
"The flames are blazing!"
A spell went down, and Robben's pile of wood burned.
"It's good to know magic." Robben sighed, for a non-magical adventurer, it would take at least three minutes to light the fire - making a fire is not an easy task, first burning the igniter, then the dead branches, and finally the large pieces of wood. Some people, holding alcohol blocks and lighters, can't light a fire.
After lighting the fire, Robben began to prepare dinner for two.
What he didn't know was that in the shadows in the distance, several greedy gazes had locked on him and Emma beside him.
"Boss, that girl can sell dozens of golden dragons just for the clothes on her body, she is an absolute fat sheep!" Malicious whispers rang out in the night sky......
