Chapter 183 "Old Friend"

Following the direction of the earth vein spirit lamp, they occasionally stopped and searched the rugged mountains near the earth vein. As expected, they found nothing after a whole day.

However, they did not expect to find the location of the mineral vein as soon as they went out.

But there were only trees and trees around, and not even a bird could be seen. The exploration process was more boring than Leon imagined.

This life forbidden land that was once shrouded by a curse obviously has not yet revived the vitality of an ordinary forest in a few short months. On the way, everyone could only chat about all sorts of things.

The good news is that there are no animals in the forest, and there are no mosquitoes, snakes and pythons harassing along the way. Leon and others simply regarded this exploration as an outing.

At least occasionally you can see the scenery of gurgling streams and undulating hills. Without the "hell filter" of the cursed land environment, the nightmare forest is already pleasant.

Perhaps after dozens or hundreds of years, this forest will be renamed by the Orland people.

Before sunset, they found a clearing and camped for rest.

After setting up the tent, Leon snapped his fingers at several bonfires, and the magic instantly ignited the firewood.

Looking at the flames that rose up, he couldn't help but think of the hard experience of the three people making simple straw rope bow drills on the road of escape, gathering together to block the cold wind in the wild, and working hard to start a fire.

At that time, they were so poor that even eating bran and drinking porridge was a luxury. Now, even in the wilderness, they have enough energy to eat a lot of oil. It feels like a different world.

Lohak's servant set up the iron pot on his back and boiled it with the stream water in the forest. Leon stirred the stewed meat sprinkled with spices in the pot, and the delicious taste spread in the temporary camp.

There is stewed meat here, and Olivia has vegetable soup.

The bonfire crackled, and in the dim light and firelight, everyone sat together to enjoy the outdoor picnic.

Leon was not afraid of attracting wild animals. Not to mention that there were a few animals in the huge forest now, even if he attracted them, it would only add dinner to the knights present, which would add some hunting fun to this boring hike.

".Leon, do you think we will encounter the place where the remains of the knight were buried on our way east? That was Lord Elliver's father, right?" Lohak asked while eating.

"The possibility is very small. We seemed to have met the previous baron in the area near Selva at that time, but the time and space in the cursed land are disordered. Who knows where the baron was buried after the spirit-like field dissipated."

Leon shook his head: "In the future, a reward will be posted in the counties around the forest. Maybe the pioneers who open up the forest will accidentally find it there."

He remembered that before leaving, he simply inserted a wooden stick in front of the pit where the corpse was buried as a tombstone mark.

Of course, even if the remains were found, Leon did not want to embezzle the armor that he could not take away without physical strength. Now he is not short of that little money.

Handing the relics and remains to his son, Elifer, was also a way of thanking the sword for the opportunity it brought to the three of them.

Fortunately, they didn't say that it was the sword they got from the battle against the zombies. Otherwise, if Elifer saw the body that was cut into pieces by Lohak, even if he wouldn't blame them, everyone would inevitably feel embarrassed.

Waiting for the night to fall, everyone chatted about family matters. When it was almost time, Corvis got up and took out the material bottle and arranged a warning spell around the camp.

Olivia volunteered to keep watch, so Leon arranged for himself and her to watch the first half of the night, and Lohak and his servants to watch the second half of the night.

After everyone lay down in their respective tents to rest, Leon sat next to Olivia and looked at the three tents they brought.

". I should have brought one more tent earlier." He leaned against the tree trunk that was moved to serve as a bench after being kicked down by Olivia, and said regretfully.

Now Lohak and his servants have one, he and Corvis have one, and Olivia and Treya have one.

No matter how the other combinations are matched, as long as he wants to sleep with his lover, Miss Treya has to team up with the other three men, which is really embarrassing.

The travel tents of this era are not big.

Olivia, who already knows Leon's improperness, immediately heard the hidden meaning. She raised her hand and gently pulled her lover's earlobe, whispering: "What are you thinking about. This is the wild, everyone is here, I won't let you do whatever you want like at home."

Leon couldn't help but turn around and blinked at the girl aggrievedly: "I didn't say anything."

"But you must be thinking about it~" Olivia snorted, not believing that this guy didn't have bad ideas.

"Unfair, I was just thinking about how to rewrite the Three Kingdoms story for you, and I have compiled a lot of it. Do you want to listen?"

"Huh? Really?"

Olivia was immediately surprised.

She threw away her suspicion just now and leaned over.

"Of course it's true. Listen to me. It's said that the first Lord Verti entrusted his son to the White King's Castle and was about to die. Suddenly he opened his eyes and found himself standing in the crowd with a straw mat on his shoulder. Suddenly he saw a familiar black-faced man with tiger eyes glaring at him, saying angrily, 'A man who doesn't work for the country but sighs here, what kind of man is he!'"

In this world where even computers haven't appeared, Leon told Olivia, who had sparkling eyes, about the historical rebirth online article that changed fate against the will of heaven many years in advance, and told this ridiculous story.

Anyway, it was to help the girl make up for her regrets. Compared with rewriting a famous work, it was much simpler to simply write a cool article about the emperor's uncle brushing the second round.

The night passed by every second.

But the two who were so excited to listen and talk were not sleepy at all.

As he was talking, Leon saw Olivia's lively eyes suddenly change, and his head turned to the darkness in the forest that could not be illuminated by the firelight.

"Leon, there is a sound approaching, there are many footsteps, but the treading sound is not heavy." Olivia stared at the movement over there and reminded.

Leon stopped talking, stood up and put on the hilt of the pseudo-thorn sword.

Although there are not many things in the forest that can threaten their group, he will not take it lightly.

"Wake up everyone." Leon drew his weapon.

Soon, the four people who had just fallen asleep in the tent were awakened and left the tent with a neat movement.

Not wanting to passively wait for the uninvited things to approach, Leon gave orders to Corvis.

"Light up the direction that Olivia pointed to, let's see the uninvited guest tonight."

The young mage stroked the blade, infused the magic to activate the spell, and the rune sword body suddenly turned into a dazzling blade of light.

He threw his right hand, and the sharp sword flew out of his hand through the air, illuminating the darkness in the forest like a flare.

The dazzling magic light made it impossible for the hidden comers to hide. A large group of brown-skinned dog-headed humanoid monsters, holding spears and short knives, and even holding pickaxes, sneaked towards this side.

But they were hiding in the dark, and they screamed in fear at the light of the Friendship Sword. The monsters who could not bear the light immediately covered their red eyes that were overflowing with tears, screamed and turned around and fled.

"Kaa! ~ Kaa--!!!"

As if they realized that they had chosen the wrong prey and target, the group of small monsters with blades and armor fled.

Leon and Lohak couldn't help but raise their eyebrows. This is their "old friend" who has not seen it for a long time.

".What is that?" Olivia frowned and looked at those ugly little guys in surprise.

No wonder even the well-educated girl couldn't help but have the idea of ​​judging people by appearance.

The appearance of the wild goblin is really disgusting

With the change of mentality, Leon now has the leisure to carefully look at this humanoid monster he saw for the second time.

He couldn't help but apologize for the comparison with the past and the image of the goblin in his previous life.

The dog-like head is rat-like, and the body with sharp teeth and claws is full of numb bumps like skin diseases, not to mention the shameless exposed body.

No matter from which aesthetic angle of human beings, the wild goblin can be regarded as the best of ugly things.

Compared with it, the goblins in the animation games in the previous life are handsome and elegant.

Corvis's flying sword reached the limit of the control distance and turned back to the camp, falling into the hands of the boy.

Lohak carried the heavy all-steel axe on his shoulder with a clang, came to Leon and asked: "Do you want to chase them and kill them?"

Things are different now. Even if he is alone now, Lohak is confident that he can easily crush hundreds of these harmful little evil creatures.

What's more, there are Leon, Corvis, and the powerful Olivia.

Leon shook his head and retracted the blade.

"Don't worry about them tonight. It's not wise to chase them in the dark. Since they are scared away, you can continue to rest. Anyway, they are not a threat to us.

However, these things actually ran to the vicinity of Avalon. It is estimated that they migrated here by accident recently. This time when we go back, we will organize the army to clean up the surrounding areas."

Wild goblins are not good things. According to the records in the monster book mentioned by Azerien during the chat, this kind of cruel humanoid monster has no ability to communicate with normal intelligent races. Once there is enough food, it has a strong reproductive capacity and a short growth cycle. Although it is not a threat to knights and the army, it is a disaster for civilians.

The Church of the Holy Sun had already cleared them out in the territory of the Kingdom of Serian, but it seems that there are still many wild goblin groups left in the wilderness on the border between Orland and Kantadar.

After the camp became quiet again, there was no more disturbance in the second half of the night.

The next morning, after packing up their travel gear and bags, everyone followed Leon again, following the light of the spirit field and trekking along the winding spirit veins.

However, holding the spirit lamp, while walking, Leon couldn't help squatting down, and his right hand touched the dense footprints on the ground.

Three-toed paws.

It seems to be the footprints of the wild goblins last night?

Leon looked up at the forest in the distance and could vaguely see the broken shrub branches.

The direction the spirit lamp is currently pointing to coincides with the direction the wild goblins fled.

Is it a coincidence?

I will update 3K first, and there will be another update when I come back tonight. I will try to write 2,000 to 3,000 in the early morning and 2,000 to 3,000 in the evening, so that I don't have to cross the date to top the chapter. However, it may not be in the form of two chapters. It depends on the plot content. If it is not suitable to divide into chapters, I will still publish it in a single chapter of 4-6K after I finish writing it in the evening. Today, it can be divided into chapters, so I will publish one chapter first.
