Section 95 Straight Down the River (3rd Update!)
"My lord, according to the report of the mage camp, the Bridge of Eternity can last for a maximum of thirty days. ”
Above the stone bridge, a voice sounded behind the girl.
It was an armoured guard, and his skin was dark gray, unlike most of Creeland's.
What's even more peculiar is that the face under the armor is actually surrounded by a layer of smoke, which makes it impossible to see his appearance clearly.
Even the voice is extremely hoarse, very neutral, and it is difficult to distinguish between genders.
The girl didn't turn around, just stared ahead.
In that place, an emerald green protective shield protected thousands of miles of land.
That's where the power of the legendary Verdant Screen comes in.
Although the Dru people were degraded by the Lord of Nature, they still held a large number of treasures in their hands. Each of these treasures is enough to make the legendary wizard's heart flutter. It's a pity that their tribe has too few talents, and they attach great importance to bloodline, and the number of people who can use treasures is really getting fewer and fewer.
Otherwise, with the Emerald Screen, Sodom's Scepter, and other powerful legendary items, they would be enough to repel the once invading Eastern Council.
And not in the current situation.
"I see. The girl said calmly: "There are still thirty days, and there is no time for a qiē." ”
"We have come from a distant Ash Underground Palace, and this time, we will definitely not fail. ”
The soldier hesitated, but gritted his teeth and said, "My lord, if you fail this time." And the king's side?"
The girl said indifferently: "If I fail to lead the army to attack the emerald screen, then as I said before the expedition, I will marry him and become a princess who keeps to herself." ”
"But this is not the life you want!" said the soldier with some emotion, "why do you want to make this bet with the king?"
The girl smiled strangely, "Gust, you seem to care a little too much about me. ”
The soldier was dumbfounded.
The girl stared intently at the emerald green screen, and said lightly: "What I want, in it, I must get it." ”
"As for gambling, would he be willing to lend me these soldiers if I didn't?"
"It's just a deal, for your king. It's definitely a win-win – I won. He had gained a large new territory, and he was worried about the rate at which Grant's dungeon was deteriorating, and he would be very happy if someone could really open up territory for him; He'll be happy too. After all, he liked me so much. For men, liking someone is actually possession, right?"
Listen to the girl's calm narration. The soldier scratched his head and muttered, "You say that, but you don't know anything about men." ”
"It doesn't matter. ”
The girl said happily, "Thirty days anyway, isn't it?"
"But in thirty days, we couldn't break through the emerald screen. The soldier said anxiously: "If you have no other way, you will lose this bet." ”
"Relax, Gust, I'm not in a hurry. The girl turned around and smiled:
"I'm sure the old turtle inside is more anxious than we are!"
"After all, the opportunity to open the gate of the heavenly realm may not be once in a hundred years. ”
......
"The opportunity to open the gate of the heavenly realm is unique!"
Inside the emerald green screen, on a high platform, the old man sighed deeply.
"But Teacher, once the gate of the Heavenly Realm is opened, the emerald green screen will be shattered. "There was a young boy next to him.
The boy raised his head and said with a puzzled expression, "Why do we have to leave?
"Of course it's a good place. ”
The old man touched the boy's head, and the wrinkles on his face were extremely profound: "But compared to the big green space, it is nothing." Remember, we are a race with a home, and the Great Green is the only place where we Drews should live. We cannot wander around the universe like those lower races. ”
"Except for the great kingdom of God, the rest of the planes in this multiverse will fall. Only the kingdom of God can survive and be immortal. ”
The boy said seriously: "But teacher, the greatness and eternity of the kingdom of God are based on the power of extracting the planes of other planes, and according to your theory, the kingdom of God cannot be truly eternal." And in those books you showed me, there were also records of the death of some gods, and when the gods died, wouldn't the kingdom of God also be subverted?"
The old man was silent.
After a while, he patted the boy on the shoulder: "I now feel that it is also a wrong choice to impart too much knowledge to you. ”
There was a look of trepidation on the boy's face.
"It is true that the kingdom of God will be ruined," said the old man with a sigh, "but the Lord of Nature is far from that point. Compared to other planes, the kingdom of God is the closest to eternity. ”
"Is it so beautiful to be stumped for eternity?" the boy was at a loss.
The old man raised his hand, looked at his weakened body, and said in an unusually firm tone:
"Believe me, eternity is the best!"
"So in half a month, I must send you home. ”
......
The gentle river flows down from the snow-capped mountains, through narrow bays, and downstream.
The snow-capped mountains stopped at this point, and the hills and even more precipitous mountains replaced the original terrain.
Some distance further, a huge rift stood in front of them.
This is the third day since the three of Lance walked out of the Great Snow Mountain. They hastened on their way, but strangely enough, there was still no trace of the two Drews along the way.
It seems that they are not on the same path as themselves.
After Lance came to such a conclusion in his heart, he simply went straight to the entrance of the Great Rift Valley.
The rift valley is flanked by towering mountains, and there are no roads at all, and the only way to traverse this rugged terrain is by water.
At this moment, in front of them was a relatively calm bay, the water in the bay was very deep, but there didn't seem to be many creatures in it.
Occasionally, a few lone salmon fry can be seen, but adult salmon are barely visible.
"The salmon that were eaten by the green dragon probably lived here in the first place. As he spoke, Old Miller handed Lance a yellowed note: "By the way, this sentence is very simple, and the specific translation is as follows:
[I'm going to be away for a while, Grant's Ashes Dungeon, and I don't know when I'll be back. I may or may not find you. Watch out for that devil, if he saves you and kills him before he is ready, so I don't have to pay the debt - unfortunately you can't beat him, so forget it. 】。
That's pretty much what it means, it looks like a girl wrote it to you?"
Old Miller squeezed his eyes: "What a versatile girl, she can actually use dragon language fluently, and there is no grammatical error." ”
Lance gave him an angry look: "It's a dragon." ”
Old Miller's eyes widened.
Trilaite showed a blank look: "Ash Dungeon, I seem to have heard of this name?"
Lance was a little surprised: "Really?"
Trilaite pondered for a while before hesitating, "It seems to be a place name." I saw the name in one of my grandfather's notebooks, but I can't remember the specifics. It's just that this place doesn't seem to be very far from the emerald screen, and it's only about half a plane fault separated by it. ”
"For ordinary wizards, the half-dimensional fault is a world. Old Miller snorted, "Boys, it's better for us to discuss how to move on to the next step." ”
"Does this need to be discussed?" asked Lance, a little curiously, "The only way forward is by water, unless we can hold the two Drews and get a shortcut from them or something." But we couldn't do it. ”
Old Miller showed a hint of concern, and finally nodded.
Soon, at the beckoning of Lance, Trillette and he built two improvised rafts using the bamboo grove by the river.
The two rafts hung together and were pushed into the water.
At midday, Lance also found a tree of a modest size, which he cut down, split in half, and burned its interior with flames.
With a little formation, it's a decent canoe.
The two rafts are side by side in front, while the canoe is hung in the back, ready to unleash and leave on its own.
This is also to prevent any accidents.
"I think we're ready. Lance clapped his hands, his superior physique gave him a strong advantage in physical work, and after a busy morning, he led the raft and the canoe was done independently, and this workload only made him sweat slightly.
This kind of expression will undoubtedly make old Miller and Trillette silently classify him as a monster in their hearts.
The three of them are all wizards, and the gap in terms of body lì is as vast as the open sea. Aside from Miller Sr.'s hole cards, it would be almost easy for Lance to destroy them.
This also vaguely leads to the fact that Lance's voice in the team has been increasing unabated.
......
The twine was loosened and the raft went down the river quietly.
Standing in the middle of the raft, old Miller looked a little uncomfortable, and he was about to take a step with his legs up, but he heard Lance say solemnly: "Don't move." ”
"For this kind of boat, balance is important. The three of us had better not move, otherwise the weight of the boat will be unbalanced, and it will be easy for the boat to capsize. ”
Old Miller helplessly wiped the sweat from his head: "Okay, I know." ”
Treette asked with concern, "Are you feeling unwell?"
Old Miller kept wiping his sweat: "A little. Damn, I should have said it earlier. ”
"You know, I'm actually a little seasick...... Ahh
Before he could finish speaking, the two parallel rafts suddenly sailed into a narrower channel, and the speed of their progress suddenly doubled! (To be continued......
