Volume 1: The Scourge of Witchcraft and the Enemies of a Thousand Years Ago Chapter 40 Arrival
It's the middle of the night, the sky is still clear, and you can still see a lot of stars. Riel begins to get sleepy, but Kayla's presence forces them to be vigilant, the road doesn't seem to be as safe as it seems, so the two decide to take turns sleeping.
Alan couldn't sleep, so he volunteered to be on duty first. His mind was full of questions, and he was thinking about all the possibilities about those problems, and trying to find the most plausible explanations from them. But until the moon went down and the sky was white, he still didn't find an answer that seemed to make sense.
The sun is out. Half of the sun showed its head, the sky was shining golden, and even a few thin clouds were dyed golden. Alan had never seen the sunrise, but it seemed that they had come to the vicinity of another town, already passing by the wheat fields, and there was nothing to obscure his vision.
If Riel saw it, it would look like an omelette!' Alan thought, amused by the idea.
Riel was really awake at this point, probably because the light was too bright to feel even with his eyes closed.
"What, is this an omelette?" said Riel as he slept in a daze, rubbing his eyes and wiping his saliva. Because it rained all day, he hadn't seen the sunrise before.
Alan was stunned for a moment when he heard him say the word "omelette", and then he couldn't help it anymore and laughed out loud. Rare didn't know what he was laughing at, and looked at the scenery outside in confusion and looked at him again.
After a while, the sun began to glare a little. Alyssa was still sleeping, and for fear of disturbing her sleep, Alan decided to change the carriage back to its original state. At this time, he found that the "Clear" near the car door had become "Close" at some point. He pressed his palm on it, shouted softly, "Close!" and saw that the roof of the car began to slowly return to its original black, and the interior of the car slowly darkened, leaving only the four sides still transparent, so that Riel could see the scenery.
Alan also wanted to sleep for a while, after all, after tossing all night, he also began to be sleepy, so he leaned his head against the glass and fell into a deep sleep.
But his good sleep didn't last long, and around ten o'clock, he was woken up by a cry of surprise from Rare.
He suddenly heard the sound of running water, and when he opened his eyes, he saw that they were near a narrow bend, and not far ahead was a very long stone bridge.
The bridge looks like it's been many years old, the stone piers have been bumpy under the erosion of the flowing water, but it still looks sturdy and leads straight to the opposite bank. The whole bridge is about ten meters wide and two or three hundred meters long, and it looks majestic. But it wasn't the length of the bridge that amazed Riel as much as he could see, but the dense number of bridges and holes that he couldn't count.
Alan was also fascinated and couldn't help but wonder who could have built such a strange and magnificent building.
Just when Alan was stunned, they had already crossed the bend and came to the bridge. Alan saw a stone monument standing on the pier on the left with a few words written on it - "Chongdu Bridge".
"What a strange name. Riel saw it and said.
"yes, it's weird. Alan nodded, feeling that the bridge was not only strangely named, but that the mere appearance gave him a strange feeling that he couldn't explain.
"Maybe it's because the construction is too strange. Alan thought.
By this time the carriage had already gone up to the bridge, and he could no longer see the bridge, but could only see the bridge deck, so he looked west. All Alan's attention was on the bridge just now, and then he realized that the river that flowed from northwest to southeast was so long that he could not see any sign of its source, and it was winding. The water in this section of the river is gentle and the water is clear, sparkling in the sunlight. On both sides of the bank are dense black poplar and red birch forests, which look like some red ink sprinkled on a dark green curtain, gorgeous and charming.
Despite the beautiful view, Alyssa was still asleep. Not being able to enjoy this picturesque scenery together made both of them feel a little lost in their hearts.
"How long has she been asleep?" Riel asked, seeing that Alyssa showed no signs of waking up.
"It's been almost twelve hours. Allen said.
"Oh my God, I haven't slept for so long!"
"Hmm...... It seems that the shock she received last night was not ordinary. ”
The two unicorns were still running fast, and they didn't stop to be greedy for the beauty, and they ran to the other side of the bridge in a few moments. Just before the beauty disappeared, they looked back and looked at it for a long time.
After crossing the bridge, the road did not go straight to the northeast, sometimes to the northwest, sometimes to the east, and in between passed at least two towns, both of which seemed to be much larger, more prosperous, and more densely populated than Beya. Not long after they had returned to their old directions, they saw a tributary of the Letnis River in the distance, winding its way northeast.
By this time it was almost five o'clock in the afternoon, and the carriage had come to a fork in the road. At the intersection there is a road sign pointing in both directions. Riel saw the words written on the signs at a glance: the northerly signs read "Krivari, 60 km", while the easterly signs read "Krivari School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, 40 km".
The carriage drove into the easterly direction. On both sides of the road are two neat rows of maple trees, and although it is autumn, the maple leaves here are still green.
"Looks like we're almost there!" Riel looked at him with excitement, and he couldn't contain his excitement, and he stood up in a flash, completely forgetting that he was still in the car, and his head hit the roof of the car, and his eyes were full of stars.
"It hurts!" he sat down again as he rubbed his head, and Alan was about to laugh, but suddenly noticed that Alyssa's eyelashes seemed to tremble slightly, and he hurried over.
He was right, Alyssa was indeed trying to open her eyes, but it seemed that because she was still too sleepy, she tried for a long time before her eyes opened a slit slightly.
Alan helped her to sit up, leaning her back against the carriage. At first her eyes were half-open, looking a little confused, but it took a while for her eyes to open completely, as if she had regained her spirits.
Alan dug out his pocket for his luggage, which had been enchanted with the enchantment, found the water and food that Mrs. Connor had prepared for them before leaving, and handed them to Alyssa.
"Thank you. Alyssa only took the water, indicating that she was just a little thirsty and didn't want to eat anything.
In fact, after tossing and turning all night, the two of them didn't have much appetite, and today they only cared about enjoying the scenery all the way, and they saw a lot of new things when they passed through town, and they didn't feel hungry or thirsty at all.
"How do you feel?" After a few mouthfuls of water, Alyssa looked the same as usual, and Alan quickly asked.
"Much better. ”
"What the hell is wrong with you, that you have slept for so long?" said Allen.
"It's been nearly eighteen hours since about eleven o'clock last night!" Riel said with a shocked face, "The longest time I woke up after only ten hours of sleep!"
Alyssa pursed her lips and smiled, looked down and thought for a long time before she slowly said, "I'm sorry, I've never seen a werewolf, I'm really a little scared...... Plus I had barely slept two or three hours a day before this, so ......"
"The werewolf has run away and is fine now. Allen said.
"Hmm......" Alyssa replied softly.
"But do you remember the werewolf who came to help us?" asked Alan tentatively.
"Hmm...... I'm a little impressed...... Looks like it's called Kelly?" said Alyssa.
"That's right...... I want you to help us keep this secret, about Kelly, he's a werewolf...... Okay?" said Allen, looking at her with a sincere look in his eyes.
"Not all werewolves are enemies of humans, he is our friend. Alan looked at Alyssa with some hesitation and added.
Alyssa looked at Alan for a long time before she said, "Okay, I'll say nothing to the others." ”
Alan smiled at her to thank her, and Alyssa gently hooked the corners of her mouth upward, as if she was smiling.
He didn't say anything more, turned his head to look out the window. Alan was afraid that Alyssa would feel tired if she asked too much, but Alyssa didn't have the energy to say more.
The carriage went on for nearly an hour, and it was already dark. When the chiming birds in the forest called, they just sailed through the maple forest. Far to the east, on the cliff, a magnificent and solemn castle appeared in front of me, and there was a faint light peeking through the city walls.
The three of them began to get excited, as they all realized that it must be the castle of the Krivari School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. After a day and night of driving, they finally arrived at their destination!
