Chapter 80 The Sorrowful Forest

The Kingdom of Kildan, the southern border area, the grieving forest.

Because of Winigia's suggestion, Arthur and the others started a trip. In addition to the two of them, there were Joan, Huey, Alia, Ellani and the Ten Princess. Except for Winigia being single, it was more like a group honeymoon trip.

What appeared before everyone was a withered forest, with sparse trees, several gray-green leaves hanging half-dead, and the dead grass on the ground was short and only passed by their ankles. There were no birds flying in the forest, and there were few insects chirping in the grass. The wind passed through the forest and made a whimpering sound, as if it was the last breath of a dying person.

Such a forest appeared in the Kingdom of Kildan where vegetation was flourishing and rainy.

The elf Elanni among the group suddenly burst into tears unconsciously.

"What's wrong with you?" Joan asked with concern beside the elf.

"I heard the crying, the crying of countless dead elves."

"Will the dead elf still cry? Even if he becomes a dead spirit, he will only howl, right?" Arthur interrupted in confusion.

"What Ellanni heard was the cry of the dead elves, but we humans couldn't feel it." Winnie answered Arthur's doubts.

"Have you been here before?"

"No, but I have heard the legends about this place. At that time, countless elves died in battle. They died in battle with the strong belief of protecting their homes. Although the elves died in battle, their mental power was congested and they kept wandering in this forest. Every grass, tree and animals in this forest were affected by these mental powers. Although they were alive, they lost the hope of living, so this decay and lack of vitality we see!"

Arthur, Joan, Huey and others all exclaimed.

"Impossible! All creatures will dissipate after their death. Even if they have strong obsessions, they will only become dead. There will never be any mental state that will not dissipate for thousands of years." Arthur was the first to question.

Vinigia shrugged, "The facts are right in front of you. If you don't believe it, you can't help. Maybe we can find the reason this time." After that, we were the first to walk into the forest.

But Arthur stood there and didn't move, "Alia, purify."

Alia spread a large area of ​​light towards the forest ahead as she said, but nothing happened.

Alia shook her head gently at Arthur, meaning there were no necromancers or dark creatures, otherwise the "purification" magic would definitely react.

Arthur smiled helplessly and had to follow Winnie's steps and walk into the forest.

Because of the sparse trees, almost all the scenes in the forest can be seen. Nearly a thousand years have passed since the war. Even the battlefield remains, there are no traces of the battlefield in this forest.

After walking in the forest for a long time, I didn't even see a slightly larger beast, let alone anything valuable. Because of the monotonous colors and lifeless environment in the forest, except for Vinigia who was still paying attention to the search, everyone else began to become less interested.

The Ten Princess even began to propose to stop and have a picnic. She really regarded this trip to the forest as a trip with Huey.

But Winnie suggested: "We should walk for a while and we should be almost at the center of the forest. I heard that there are the remains of the original fortress there, so we can go there to rest."

No one raised any objection. After all, even the weakest ten princesses are already the strength of a level five warrior, and a period of time is not a burden to anyone.

What everyone did not expect was that everyone had walked the road that Winnie said for nearly two hours, and the sun even began to go west. The Tenth Princess was so hungry that they were rumbled, and they arrived at the place where Winnie said.

The scattered gravel, only half a person tall and mossy-covered broken walls, can still make people vaguely see the traces of a castle this place.

The almost exhausted and paralyzed Princess Ten directly found a slightly flat stone, sat down regardless of her image, and the others also found a place to rest first. Only Vinigia was still searching around tirelessly, as if she could find some treasure in this broken place.

Arthur, who had a short rest, got up and prepared to get something for everyone first. He took out a large pot from his bracelet.

Huey also helped, and used a gun to pick up dozens of old bricks from the broken wall beside him, helping Arthur build a simple fire stove under the pot.

Arthur just lit the fire under the pot, and Gru's squeaking sound came from beside him. Arthur turned his head and found Gru digging the broken wall that Huey had just picked up.

After spending so long together, Arthur already understood what Gru wanted to express, "Down the remaining bricks, it seems that there is something underneath?"

Huey's golden spear was about an inch long, and the cut-off wall on the ground was completely cleaned up in a few strokes, revealing the thick foundation below.

The gun light surged, and a shot stabbed hard at the ground, and the soil and gravel flew around. The explosion of the fighting spirit exploded and a big pit two meters deep was blown out.

The people gathered by the pit looked down and there was nothing. But Gru was still pointing at the bottom of the pit and squeaking.

"I'll do it." Arthur quickly built a magic circle and slapped it on the ground with a palm, and the earth shook violently.

After the intermediate earth magic "earthquake technique", there was still no change on the ground.

Arthur's unyielding personality came up and used two "earthquake techniques" in succession. When his palm slapped the ground for the third time, a rumbling sound, and the ground under everyone's feet suddenly collapsed and everyone fell down.

Fortunately, the collapse height was not high, and before everyone could react, they all fell to the ground and got up one by one. When Alia lit a ball of light, everyone was stunned by the scene in front of her.

What appeared before us was an abandoned underground world, with the vast ground extending forward, with broken weapons and weathered bones scattered on the ground. But this world is only a few meters high, with a thick layer of soil on it, as if a large lid was added to the space.

"I finally found it, it turns out to be true!" Winnie murmured in a low voice.

"You have known this place is right? This is where you are looking for this time, right?" Arthur finally figured out the purpose of Winnie's motivation to make this grieving trip to the forest.

"No, I don't know. I just speculated that there should be an ancient battlefield here. Unexpectedly, the elves built the fortress directly on the battlefield and buried the battlefield directly."

"A ancient battlefield? Is it even longer than the war between humans and elves?"

"The same period as the war at the end of Sauron Canyon." Winnie's answer shocked everyone.

"Then how did you know the existence of this battlefield?"

"I can't explain it to you yet. Let's see what else is left here first?" Winnie said and walked forward.

Gru suddenly started to squeak again.
