Volume 1, Dawn, Chapter 28, Weird
In the following journey, Iroth adhered to the agreement with Commander Arthur, and looked like he was keeping people thousands of miles away to Mavie, which made this mercenary who was usually bold and fearless.
The rest of the Golden Group were extremely indignant when they saw Mavie's appearance, no longer as lively as before.
If it weren't for the suppression of the leader Arthur and the identity of the employer, I would have been afraid that the people led by Manniu Halsey and Skinny Monkey Ranger would have taught Iroth a lesson long ago.
Even so, except for Mavie and Vivien, no one gave Iroth a good look, and some even spitted in Iroth's meal.
Of course this cannot be hidden from Iroth's perception.
Iroth was also helpless. Since he had agreed to Captain Arthur's request, he could only fulfill the agreement.
What's more, there is no need to be as knowledgeable as these rough people.
In fact, Mavi should be happy that he has such a group of family and comrades.
In the eyes of outsiders, the members of the Golden Group have only maintained the last bottom line of morality, but from a fair perspective, it is not advisable for these people to blindly protect their own people regardless of right or wrong.
But human nature is like this, and there is nothing wrong with it.
In desperation, Iroth had to hunt himself to fill his stomach.
At night, he was baking the hare alone.
Just now, he had just rejected the dry food sent by Mavie, which almost made the strong-looking mercenary cry almost burst out.
The aroma of roasted rabbits gradually spreads, and the meat is full of fragrance.
"After entering the Central Mountains, if I were you, I wouldn't bet on the open fire." Commander Arthur came over and sat next to Iloth.
"There are many monsters in the Central Mountains, and the aroma of barbecue is very likely to cause unnecessary trouble. Maybe you are very strong and can handle everything, but believe me, it is extremely important to preserve your physical strength."
"Also, I'm so sorry. I've been wronged these days, so I didn't even have enough food to eat." Captain Arthur looked apologetic.
Irothy silently, what's this?
But he is not a stingy person, and he will not take such unforgiving disasters to heart.
The Golden Group may be very famous in the mercenary world, but for people of his level, it is just a false sense.
The two of them were speechless for a while, only the "crackling" sound of branches burning.
After roasting the rabbit meat, Iroth gave half to Commander Arthur. After taking a bite, he started to praise him.
Iroth's barbecue skills come from his career as a knight. In terms of his ability to survive in the wild, his experience is no worse than these mercenaries who lick blood on their heads.
After eating and drinking, Captain Arthur patted Iroth on the shoulder with comfort and went back to rest.
Two days later, the group had traveled through the hinterland of the Cialir Empire and reached the periphery of the Central Mountains.
Rejecting Iroth's intention to settle the final payment, Captain Arthur handed him the heavy jerky and ale, saying:
"Your Excellency, let's leave you here. These dry foods are enough for you for half a month. You are alone, be careful in everything!"
Iroth waved his hand and said goodbye to everyone, although only Captain Arthur and Vivian responded.
The moment he turned around and stepped into the forest, a voice came to him.
"Why, I want to know why! Give me an answer and give up."
Mavie's words were filled with reluctance, doubt and a little anger.
"I already have a lover, she is waiting for me to come home."
Iroth's voice was gentle, but instantly shattered Mavi's last line of defense.
"I understand!" Mavi's tears kept pouring out of his eyes.
"I wish you good luck in the future, let's leave you here!"
After saying that, he walked into the forest opposite to Elos without looking back.
The Central Mountains are not like other large mountains, but are only a transverse mountain range that lasts thousands of kilometers in the middle.
It just split the Torrell continent into two, forming a geographical pattern that is clearly divided between the north and the south, and is also a natural barrier between the north and the south.
The Holy Empire is just south of the Central Mountains, while Abrex, Cirir and Battalia are in the north wind of the mountains.
If it weren't for the obstruction of the Central Mountains, I'm afraid the Holy Empire would have long killed Xiriel and Battalia.
The central mountain range is surrounded by huge forests, which accounts for almost one-sixth of the continent. It is a paradise for countless monsters and explorers, among which the remnants of the declining high elves also live.
There is also legend that the Central Central Forest is a place for gods to rest.
The moment he stepped into the forest, Iroth sensed the special part of the Central Mountains.
Although the sun shines through the dense forests and shines on the grass, it looks a bit quiet, but under Iroth's perception, something different was discovered.
Life is an extremely lush vitality.
This forest seems like an extremely huge living creature. The entire forest is a whole, with self-awareness and constantly rejecting outsiders, which makes people feel a little creepy.
The stronger you are, the more obvious your feelings are.
This is why legendary powerhouses need to hire a golden group to explore. The stronger the strength, the stronger the corresponding exclusion of the forest.
It's really, extremely weird!
Since you are here, then keep going.
Iroth was like a giant bird, drawing beautiful arcs after graceful arcs, jumping on the trunks of the jungle, and heading towards the depths of the forest.
Along the way, Iroth tried to restrain his breath and try to integrate with the environment. Sure enough, the power of repulsion was not so strong.
I encountered many wild beasts along the way, including low-level monsters. There are so many creatures on the periphery, and the biological groups in the core area can be imagined.
At the same time, Iroth also became sensible. Although entering the forest was in the opposite direction to the golden ball, he hung not far from the golden ball after entering.
After all, it was his first time entering the Central Mountains, and the situation here was too complicated. Following this group of mercenaries could be more efficient and save a lot of time. Furthermore, he was ashamed of Mavie, although it had nothing to do with him.
In addition, I have a premonition in my heart that it may not be peaceful this time. I can follow it from afar and take care of it in time when the situation changes.
It has been two days since we entered the forest, and the strength of the monsters is getting stronger and stronger. These monsters have strong sensitivity and come to attack when they see Iroth.
I don’t know how many souls of monsters were slashed under the Star-Breaking Sword. I think the mercenaries from the Golden Group also encountered a lot of trouble.
Suddenly, Iroth felt a faint call coming from the front, as if something important was calling him.
After carefully distinguishing and determining the approximate direction, Iros no longer followed the golden ball far away and flew away in the direction where the call sound came from afar.
Even if it may be a trap, it must not be tried.
I knew there was a tiger in the mountain, but I was on the way to the tiger mountain!
