It's been three days since the first forest supply point set off, and it may be that the Black Flag bandit group is rushing too fast, leading the bandit group of several other bandits on the hidden trade route of Zhilu Road for a long time, and Geer and his party have not met anyone these days, and they have gone down very safely.

At dusk, the orange-red light passed through the dense canopy of trees, through the branches and leaves, forming red spots on the road, indicating the direction of the convoy.

The group had already crossed the densest wooded area, and the torches should have been lit at this time of the two days, otherwise they would not have been able to see the road ahead.

Gehr did not ride a horse, but sat on the edge of the driver's seat of the carriage, studying the leather map in his hand, and occasionally discussing with Date who was driving beside him, and comparing the route ahead.

This map is the most valuable trophy ever obtained from the Black Flag bandits, and such a detailed map is a treasure that is hard to buy in this era, and it is said that it was obtained from the caravan that the bandits had robbed that exposed this secret trade route, but now it can only be cheap.

Although the Bryan brothers know the secret trade route of the road, they do not come and go much, but the general situation of the road is far less familiar than the merchant who specializes in this trade route, and this map is a summary of the merchant's experience on this trade route.

A breeze blew in the carriage, carrying a fresh smell of grass and trees, and the originally scorching breath was filtered by the woods, and when it arrived in front of Ger, it already brought a trace of coolness, and it was extremely comfortable.

Some of the insects, which only appear at night, begin to move and make noisy insect chirps, which is a good sonata in such a quiet area.

"According to the map, we will probably be out of the forest in two days, right?" Gehr gestured his finger over the map, casually asking Dai beside him.

"That's right, my lord, at our current pace, we will be able to leave the woods and enter the Auckland Prairie by the afternoon of the day after tomorrow, and if it goes well, we will be able to reach Philemus in about three days. Hearing Geer's words, Date nodded.

"Yes. ”

Receiving an affirmative answer, Gehr returned his attention to the map, slid his finger along the map to the point where they were approximately, paused, and continued along the path ahead, stopping at the point where the next place name was.

"Blossomham Castle?" Looking at the place name, Gell was slightly curious: "What is this place?"

"This is the remains of a castle, I heard that it was once the residence of a great nobleman, and it is impossible to tell what age it was, it seems that it existed when the Philippan Empire was still there, at least a few hundred years ago. Date showed a look of remembrance, and after a while changed to a somewhat hesitant look: "About four or five hours further on, there is a maple forest, and there is a path that leads to that forest, and you can see it when you go in, and tonight's rest point is there." ”

"You've been there?" Ger turned his head to see Ida's expression, and his curiosity immediately intensified.

"Well, I went there once when I was younger. Date nodded, her face a little unpleasant: "It doesn't feel good for me there, it's a little gloomy, there's always a feeling that something is wrong, it's always dangerous." But maybe it's my delusion, for so many years, merchants who take this road usually go there to stop there, after all, there are no suitable camps around, but I have never heard of anyone in an accident. ”

"Danger, did you notice anything unusual at the time?" was the question asked by Lucarin in the carriage, who had always been interested in this unknown knowledge.

"How?" Date patted his head in annoyance, this was a rare situation for him, and it was obvious that the past had caused him a lot of trouble. "As soon as I entered that area, I felt uncomfortable, as if something cold was holding me, and when I slept at night, I always felt that something was calling me, very ethereal, and I always felt that once I followed it, I couldn't come back, by the way, I also saw a white transparent figure......"

"That's when you're sick and confused. Clemi slowed down to the side of the carriage when he heard Ida's words. "We didn't see what you said at that time, and you just felt that way, everyone was normal at that time, and you did have a serious illness afterwards and lay in bed for more than half a year. ”

"Yes, maybe I was really sick at the time. For his brother's rebuttal, Date didn't mean to be angry, it was true that he didn't feel right at the time, everyone else was fine, and when he was sick, it might be a hallucination after being sick.

"Klemi, what do you think of that castle ruin?" Luccarin asked Clemi.

"Well, in fact, there is indeed a bit of a strange place there, like this ruins located in the jungle will generally be covered by vines and plants in just ten years, but it is different there, there are plants, but there are very few, I don't know what the road is for so many years has not grown, it may be the reason for the fire in the castle before, and there are no animals and bugs or anything like that will be close to that side, plus there is a well that leads to an underground river, it is a very good supply resting point. ”

Klemi gently grabbed the reins, keeping the speed of the horse and the carriage in line, and gently patted the head of the somewhat dissatisfied horse before continuing: "Because of curiosity about the remains of this castle, I also specially consulted some local scholars, it is said that it is the residence of a great nobleman during the Briggs Dynasty in the past, and the family name of this nobleman is Brothham, it is said that the territory owned by this family at that time can include most of the territory from the current Siborg to Fimus, and it can be regarded as a super lord of one side." ”

"Briggs, the once glorious super dynasty that now holds most of the territory of the three major powers, can't withstand the erosion of time, and now it's just a ruin, and it can only add some cold words to the history books, time is the most powerful existence, and there will never be an eternal ...... in front of it," Lucarin sighed.

The rest of the people also fell into a deep groan, and for a moment only the sound of horses' hooves and wheels hitting small rocks remained.

The sky was getting darker, the sun setting from the treetops could no longer transmit its light and heat, and the temperature was getting cooler.

As they advanced, countless transparent shiny insects began to appear around the group, each about the size of a fingernail, and as they flew, warm pale yellow points of light continued to sway around, pointing out the way forward for Gehr and them.

"What is this?" Ger's eyes widened, and he spread out his leather gloved palm to catch a point of light.

As soon as it came into contact with the leather, the light suddenly went out, and a small insect with a very strange appearance immediately appeared in the center of the glove. As if dissatisfied with the extinguishment of the point of light, the insect flapped its wings and took off again, landing on the nearby red branches, and suddenly, another light lit up.

"This is Flavadano, which means the light of the night, where there are only maple trees and where it is warm......" Lucarin stuck her head out of the car window and looked at the sky full of light, as if to bring back some memories in her expression: "...... It's been a long time since I've seen so many Flavadano. ”

"My lord, Blossomham Castle has arrived. ”

Date drove the carriage to the small fork in the road that suddenly appeared in front of her, and continued to advance for more than ten minutes surrounded by Flavadano, and at the end of the line of sight, a blurred black shadow rushed into everyone's eyes.
