Chapter 156: Follow the Wind
Leaving Redriev's inn, and then leaving the mushroom cave in the Red Valley, without Wolfer's quarrel and Wolfer's fist, Glori was in a good mood along the way.
August, the last month of summer. The Lodge warband passed through the Misty Swamp, where it rained for several days before reaching the eastern side of the Flute Meadow.
"Brother, there's a wooden house up ahead!" Aina cheered happily as she ran around Glori.
Glori took off his hood and roughly counted the time. Early in the morning of the 5th, he and his companions arrived at the Mushroom Cave above the Red Valley, and have been walking this way ever since. Despite the long distance, it is useless to rush. "Well, let's go there, maybe we'll rest for a while. ”
Sometimes, Glori really wishes he could forget about his worries and run happily like Aina. However, he can't expect too much, because what he wants to accomplish has always hung in his heart. At this point, running for him can only be in the face of the search for the God of Light.
Now, it's August 15th. Glori and his friends walked for ten days. In front of me, the green fell with the wind, and in the distance, a rainbow fell after the rain. Taking a deep breath and feeling refreshed, Glori couldn't help but glance at his partner beside him.
"I'm still thinking about the Revival Legion, and while Xavier and Leo have joined them, they're trapped in the Red Valley by the Order. Glori thought about it.
"And the seven statues of the Orderly God could not be approached until the end. Both Hunting Swamp Town and Hunting Lodge are overrun by the Order Clan of Idol City. We have no choice but to continue our adventure. Maybe one day, Master Xavier and Mentor Lil will find a way. Glori continued.
"Yes, we haven't been able to approach since we were trapped in the Red Valley. Until then, Silver would rather have us deal with the Idol of Order than trade his demon destruction for a victory. Zoe said angrily.
"Hmmm......"
Glori shook her head, feeling something about to press inward, and looked at Susan. Susan, of course, knew what Glori's meant, so she took two steps backwards with her hands behind her back, and then took a breath, and the wind blew her hair up lightly, and a touch of pink fluttered.
Susan said, "I say, try to turn around and walk around with your back to the hut. ”
The first person to do it according to Susan was Glori. The wind passed behind him, making him extra comfortable. "Doing this makes me feel different. ”
"How's it going? Doesn't it feel much lighter?" Susan turned, jumped forward, and continued walking backwards.
Striding across the prairie, there were no thugs, no strong smell of fish, and it wasn't just Glorry who liked it, but his companions liked it. When the gentle wind blew on her face, she raised her eyes and saw a line in the distance, and suddenly, a feeling of breadth and comfort came to her, and Iris couldn't help but joke. Then, Irrith nudged Zoe.
"Zoe...... Walking with a straight face and arms crossed will not make your mood better. So, you have to be like Susan. ”
"No, absolutely not. ”
Although Zoe vetoed, she ran straight forward, directly shaking off Glori and the other partners. Ten steps away, Zoe stopped because she saw a figure in front of her.
The hut is inhabited, who will it be?
Glori follows Zoe. He feared that he would break into a wooden hut and find it a trap, as he had experienced in the Ruined Land, so he was a little cautious and gradually walked in front of Zoe.
All the way to the west, the wooden house is getting closer and closer. In the distance, Glori saw two figures through the gaps in the trellises. One of them was wearing a necklace decorated with unknown bones, and his skin was burnt, while the other was a little shorter, lighter-skinned, and much younger.
As Glori was thinking, he realized that he was being watched by the people of the cabin. At the cabin, Cornelius put down an empty barrel, stood up straight, and looked at Glory: "Wende, look at who is there to the east? Shall we go out and have a look?"
"People walking backwards? Wende stopped playing whistle and caught up with Cornelius.
"Looks like we've got guests tonight, a bunch of weird guys. Cornelius picked up the sack from the fence and went to pick the grapes.
"I'm afraid you'll have to prepare a dinner. Because I can't make it either, I want to see these weird guys. They must have an interesting story to tell," Wende unsealed a whole jar of aged wine in the courtyard, "you are the only wine supplier in town, and this can is not bad." ”
"Hey, you glutton, I'm going to the market to sell it......" Cornelius cried. When he saw Wende's pitiful look, he couldn't help but say, "Okay." Brother, just as I owe you. I'm really afraid of you, and I deliberately pretend to be pitiful, like I haven't drunk wine in my life. ”
While the chatter in the courtyard was endless, Glori and his friends had arrived. He shouted, for the compound had no walls, let alone a gate to knock on. "Excuse me, can you let us rest here for a while?"
Before anyone could answer, Iris went into the courtyard. It seems that she also has Dylan's habit of liking food. "The chalet, the grapes, and the sweet smell of wine. She couldn't be happier.
"Hah, you smell it too. I knew we were a natural pair. Dylan squeezed past Glori, Will, ran into the yard, and picked up Elris.
"So, they can't take care of us single guys? Susan bent her eyes, put her hands behind her back, and said to Glori.
"Susan, this means something else......" In the flash, Pod approached Glori and said. Glori just smiled awkwardly and was about to step forward to greet the owner of the cabin.
"Patriarch bless, we've met a bunch of weirdos. A bunch of weird guys who break into someone's house without even saying hello. Cornelius smiled, and without a special welcome ceremony, he stretched out his hand directly into the house, indicating an invitation to be a guest.
"Forgive us for our presumptuousness, but this hut stands out too much in the vast grassland. So, can we rest here for the night?" said Susan politely.
"Well, let me see. You're dressed like you've just been through something bad. A cloak with a hole, and a weapon on his back. You must be rangers!yes, you must be right!" Wende interjected. Reading Temple
"Don't guess, they're treasure hunters. They must have come here for the treasure of the flute steppe. This is already the fourth team. Cornelius corrected.
After a closer look, Glori saw the bone necklace that Cornelius was wearing. The bones on the necklace are full of wolf teeth. Moreover, Cornelius also pulled up his cuffs, revealing the scar on his arm. Those scars were clearly caused by wild beasts. It is clear that the owner of the chalet is not only a winemaker, but also a good hunter. More than that, the hunter had a kind countenance.
But......
After a pause, Glori wanted to explain that Iris had already taken the lead. "Yes, treasure hunter!" she said, her eyes still blinking.
"Hmm...... Treasure hunter, right? "Anyway, with good intentions, Glori had to take cover.
"Look, am I right?" said Cornelius, smirking.
"Oh well. Tonight, I'll have a few more drinks because I guessed wrong. Wende also smirked.
"But you're not the man of the patriarch's wind. Obviously, you are taking advantage of the wind. Cornelius added.
"From the moment we were invited, we stood at the door. So, it's better to talk in the house. Wende put on a master's face and re-invited.
The crowd followed, while Cornelius shook his head behind him. "Okay. My cabin became yours. You don't look like the patriarch at all. Cornelius complained.
"So, where are you going?" Wende asked Glori.
"Flying Town, that's our destination. Because you have to prepare for the adventure there. ”
Entering the house, Glori couldn't find a place to sit, because all the benches had been snatched away. He shrugged his shoulders, leaned against the crack in the door, and looked at the interior of the room. Inside, everything is simple and so spacious. Glori also saw fur decorations hanging from the walls.
Cornelius pointed to the fur, "That's the skin of a steppe wolf, and that damn guy is the devil of this area." I'm not talking about the Orderly, but this guy hurts a lot of travelers, and it picks on the skinny ones who are easy to bully. ”
"You have come at an untimely time, because the wind is mild. Wende said something incomprehensible.
"Doesn't this wind make people feel comfortable?" asked Susan.
What he meant was that Flying Town would only appear on the grasslands when there was a strong wind. The town is ruled by the lord of the Order," continued Cornelius, "and I advise you not to go, for you can only enter and not go out, and if you want to get out, you have to go through the storm." I haven't seen anyone else who has come out alive other than me. ”
"So, Cornelius has another identity, a guide. He was the only one who could get in and out of Flying Town. And our patriarch is also trapped in Feitian Town, which is why I am here. I want to persuade him to lead our people into there, and then drive out the orderly lords there. Wende was a little upset as he spoke, and he repeatedly asked Cornelius for help, but was refused.
"There is indeed a rumor on the prairie. After Feitian Town became the cage of the Lord of the Order Clan, this rumor began to spread. The people of the Prairie Market often say that whoever receives the blessing of the wind will get the key to the treasure, and at the same time, he will save the people of Flying Town from their misery. Cornelius said with a smile.
"And then?" asked Irris, holding her cheeks.
"And then, no one ever succeeded. And rumors are rumors after all, I've been here for so long and haven't seen a second person who can come out of the storm alive. Sometimes, even I don't believe I can come out. Cornelius stopped smiling.
So, Glori and his friends have a problem. Flying Town, they have to think about going in, they don't just have to go there to prepare, but more importantly, they have to find the teleportation circle to enter Sky City. Before, Leo had made it clear that they had to find the people of the Green family. Moreover, the people of the Green family are in Feitian Town.
If no one from the Green family is found, Glori and his friends will have to stare dryly. Because, Sky City's teleportation circle was sealed two thousand years ago. It is even more impossible to fly in from the sky, and the magic barrier will stop them, in case, what if they encounter the terrible god of the sky?
"Glori, we need to meet the people of the Green family. Now, the Demon Dragon Empire is unable to take charge of this capital city that once belonged to the Gudian Kingdom. So, we alone can't lift the seal. Zoe explained.
"I haven't met anyone from this family, but there's always been a story in town. According to the story, there is a guardian in Flying Town who has been protecting an inscription. Maybe it's been too long since we know the name of the Guardian. But I think that's probably the person you're looking for. If his descendants inherit his will, you may be able to accomplish what you have to do. Wende added.
Hearing this one disappear, Glori was a little relieved. However, Pod approached him and whispered, "Glorry, you have to be careful. The owner of this wooden house exudes a wave of dark magic. However, Glori was already on guard.
"Thank you very much. ”
The clues Wender spoke of were enough for Glori. Glori guessed that the inscription Wende was referring to must be the stone tablet under Sky City, and that the guardian was the person he and his friends were looking for, and that if the people of the Green family were to protect the inscription all the time, they would not leave the town. Moreover, Zoe had reminded Glori that the magic of the teleportation circle needed a long-lasting supply of mana.
"So, you need to invite Him to lead the way for you. Only he knows how to come out. Wende poured the wine into each glass.
"So, you're trying to pull me into the water. When they can't come out, they have to regret it again. And you, trying to save the patriarch, turned out to be the same as them. In the end, you're all crazy. I'm not sure if any of them have been blessed with the wind. Cornelius shook his head.
However, Wende kept staring at Cornelius, as if he kept pleading without agreeing. "This time you have to say yes. You should be able to tell that they are not the same as the previous treasure hunters. Perhaps, this is our only chance to rescue the Patriarch. ”
"Wende, you only think about our patriarch, but you never think about saving the people of the town from suffering. So, you can only be a merchant, not the heir of the patriarch. Your father is angry with you. Cornelius accused.
"We can help you save the town. Premise, you have to let us break into the storm. Mutual interest comes first, and Glori nods to his friends. What he meant was that it was time for wine tasting.
