Chapter 29 Endless Sea of ??Trees
Seeing that Lolo silently carried the big travel bag that was almost as tall as her, the future Super Magician was holding his slim waist and his face was so hot.
Hilton beside him was amazed, "This is the first time I saw a entourage with empty hands and the master carrying his luggage."
"Shut up, at least we didn't delay the team's trip like someone." Lolo retorted.
Hilton smiled, "How about it, do you want me to share the burden for you? My follower is very strong."
The priest didn't say anything big. His entourage seemed to be a mixed race between humans and dwarves. He was not tall, but he inherited the dwarves' strong ability to carry weights. Hilton had at least twice as much luggage as Lolo, but he was still steadily. However, when he heard Hilton say he wanted him to help, the guy immediately said with a bitter face, "Young master, there is no reason. Why do people who can do must do more than others? Look at the master, and know how to be polite to your subordinates."
"Hey, you lazy guy, do you want me to carry your luggage for you too?" Hilton cursed with a smile.
"Where is that? I'm just afraid that you will not understand the kindness of others to others, Young Master." The half-dwarf follower said loudly.
Rob watched the master and servant sing together silently. The half-dwarf just wanted to make a point, and Hilton seemed to know something.
"No need." Lolo shook his head and walked forward with his luggage in his back.
Captain Hansen moved his lips and opened his mouth to say something, but finally sighed and swallowed the words back into his stomach. It was not unreasonable that he had to take one or two minions each before. The adventure in the dungeon ranged from ten days to one month, and he needed to carry a lot of food and supplies. These things should not be carried by adventurers, because they must always be prepared to deal with sudden dangers. Too much load will affect their flexibility. Monsters will not talk about the demeanor of knights. They will give you time to put down things and pull out weapons before each attack.
Now Lolo has a follower, but it has no effect at all. The boy looks more like a rich young man who is on a voyage in the wild.
His thin body, his skin color three points whiter than the nobles, and his unbearable strength and physical strength, not long after he met, he successfully established the first impression of "Is this guy here to act cute?" in everyone's hearts. Hansen couldn't help but maliciously speculate that Lolo and Rob must have wanted to use him as bait at a critical moment.
It’s not that the captain thought so. At present, the boy seemed to have no other use besides adding meals to the monsters.
Before it got completely dark, the expedition team finally approached the endless sea of trees.
This is a forbidden land, with towering ancient trees everywhere. Most of the trees are older than the traceable history of human beings. In addition to ancient trees, there are other strange-shaped plants, which are all lush and luxuriant.
However, no intelligent race would settle in the sea of endless trees, and even the elves who love nature the most avoided it. In the words of the former high priest Viola, "The nature here is twisted by a mysterious force, and such unreasonable vitality makes me feel uneasy."
However, humans would not have so many concerns. A little lord once was jealous of the fertility of the endless sea of trees, so he led his people to cut down the ancient trees here, cleared a small area on the periphery, and planted crops.
They sow seeds in spring and were surprised to find that even if they were not deliberately cultivated, the crops were growing well. In autumn, they ushered in an unprecedented harvest. The wheat in the fields grew as high as two people, and the heavy ears bent the wheat straw. The farmers couldn't believe the scene in front of them.
The little lord was ecstatic and felt that he was so clever that he found a golden road to get rich quickly. He couldn't help but praise the gods and officially named the place given by God.
That night, he held a grand dinner at his castle, baking fragrant bread with freshly ground flour, served with ham, chicken and ale to entertain guests.
As a result, the next morning the people passing there were shocked by the bloody scene in front of them. The entire castle was completely turned into a slaughterhouse, with bloody corpses and limbs everywhere. Even the most brutal murderer could not help but squat down and vomit when he saw such a scene.
Before his death, the little lord was still stabbing his beloved little daughter madly with a dining knife, and half of his head was cut off by his wife. According to the description of the only survivor of the banquet, a young maid hiding in the wardrobe, everyone was normal at the beginning. The little lord's family was as polite as usual. Everyone had all smiles at the dining table, exchanging all kinds of gossip about the royal family. They talked about the lonely queen who was secretly meeting with a handsome count not long ago. Everyone smiled, and they couldn't help but smile on their faces that only men understood. The atmosphere was so harmonious.
During the meal, the maid was ordered to go to the wine cellar to get another barrel of ale, but when she returned to the door, everything changed. The guest and host who were still chatting and laughing suddenly drew their swords toward each other at one moment, just like the full house was suddenly replaced by the screenwriter of the song of Ice and Fire, and the style of painting completed a 180-degree change.
Suddenly, everyone on the dining table fell into hysterical madness. They began to attack every normal person around them with red eyes. The first ones to suffer were the maids. They were thrown to the ground before they realized what had happened. The guests who lost their minds grabbed the sharp weapons around them. In a short while, the maids' cries became less.
However, their screams before their deaths still successfully alarmed the guards of the castle.
However, the real tragedy began at this time. The little lord's castle was not big, and the people in the territory were simple. There were only one team of less than twenty soldiers responsible for security. What was even more fatal was that their captain, a third-level knight, was also invited to attend today's dinner, and at this time he turned into a perverted murderer.
Facing the lord who had sworn to be loyal to him, the guards were a little restrained. Although they rescued the young maid, they were also attacked wildly, especially the third-level knight who was in a rampage was like a god and demon. While everyone was still stunned, they sneaked into the trap and broke the neck of a guard.
The remaining guards were hurriedly set up their formation under the leadership of the deputy captain. Perhaps the only thing that is thankful is that the people who came to the banquet did not carry weapons or armor. The guards barely stabilized the situation with their advantages in equipment, but everyone knew that this was only temporary. Those who had lost their minds seemed to feel pain and would not be exhausted. The second young master, whose arm was cut off, still rushed towards any living creature in front of him like a mad dog.
"The gods are here, what happened here?" The deputy captain's face was extremely solemn. He originally wanted the young maid to go to the nearby town to bring reinforcements, but the latter had hidden where he had hidden. In fact, the deputy captain knew in his heart that this was not very meaningful. The militia in the town were basically just farmers who had just been simple training for several months. The peace of the whole year has caused them to lose their combat ability. Even if they come, they would only be cheerleaders.
The reason why the deputy captain did this was more from the perspective of boosting the morale of the team. There were only a few experienced veterans in the guards, most of whom were young people, and some were even children. Faced with this terrifying scene, many people were frightened, their legs were trembling, and the sword in their hands could not hold them steadily, and they lost two more in less than a moment.
The deputy captain kicked over the long table in the hall and ordered everyone to retreat to the gate, use the narrow terrain to deal with the opposite side, and delayed time as much as possible. In addition, he also sent two people to collect heavy objects, hoping to block these aggressive madmen in the banquet hall.
Who knows how many people will suffer if these guys run outside. Looking at the tragic situation in the hall, the deputy captain can't imagine what kind of misery they will cause if they run to the town.
As the saying goes, it rains all night long. After finally blocking a wave of attacks, everyone heard a scream from downstairs. The sound was exactly a young guard who had just been sent out not long ago. Soon, another fight came from somewhere on the first floor. Everyone was nervous and their hearts were in their throats. They wanted to help, but they couldn't get rid of themselves.
Finally, the sound of the fight gradually became weaker until the calmness returned to life.
After a while, a familiar sound of footsteps rang out at the stairs.
