Chapter 19 First Sight? Remains of Elemental Explosion
Chapter 19 First sight? The ruins of the elemental explosion
After leaving Merlin Academy, Laura and I walked southwest along the big road sign. This noble lady was very energetic in the first two days, jumping around, seeing everything fresh, and encountering all kinds of flowers, plants, and wild vegetables.
Pulled me to tell her the story.
Just walking and talking like this, we gradually stopped seeing road signs and the road came to an end.
"Let's take a break, I want to look at the map." I suggested.
But Laura looked unhappy: "You get tired so quickly, why are you so incompetent?" I couldn't help but get angry when I heard this.
"My eldest lady, the heaviest thing on your body was the dagger. You threw all the big and small bags on me, and you had to drag me to talk to you. Even a cow was exhausted.
.”
"Okay." Even though Laura was unhappy, I really couldn't walk anymore, so I looked around, took out a map and compared it with the route we were walking. We had reached the center of the highland.
The location is inaccessible, and the horse-drawn carriage road ends here, but it always makes me feel a little strange.
I put down my baggage and started to look around, but I still felt uneasy.
Laura was sitting next to a tree. Seeing me walking around, she said impatiently: "Hey, Henmo, what are you looking at? This is just a forest. What's there to worry about? There's not even a ghost here."
There is no shadow."
Woods! Yes! Why are there such woods here?
According to the map, this place is close to the Arctic Ocean, and the highlands have a typical oceanic climate, with even precipitation and trees distributed mainly in small patches. How could there be such tall and dense woods? Moreover, since walking into this forest
, we didn’t even see a heather. It’s so strange.
Full of suspicion, I checked the surroundings and found nothing suspicious, so I said to Laura: "Laura, this place is a bit strange. It's almost sunset now. I suggest we camp here at the end of the road.
Let’s go through the woods tomorrow morning after the sun comes out.”
Laura had almost fallen asleep just now, but now she was feeling sleepy and was about to fall asleep. I quickly grabbed her and said, "Tent, wait until I pull up the tent before you sleep."
I found two adjacent big trees. After confirming that the roots of the trees were solid, I wedged two wooden pegs into the trees. After setting up the tent, I arranged the floor for Laura. She fell asleep and I swept
He found a clearing and lit a bonfire.
The forest was empty and quiet, with no light everywhere. Only a bonfire here seemed so disturbing. I fiddled with the bonfire and roasted the hare I had just caught in a small trap. Slowly, I started to enjoy this kind of life.
.
In a daze, I actually saw my uncle's face. He walked towards me slowly, sat down next to me, looked at me with a smile, and praised me for my good trap. I happily tore off one leg of the hare and separated it.
I gave it to my uncle, who praised my progress in cooking while eating.
Being with my uncle makes me feel more at ease.
No! My uncle is dead! Suddenly a voice flashed through my mind, and the scene in front of me suddenly changed. I was still alone in the woods. The hallucination just now was so real. Could it be that someone here used magic to make me
Entering a hallucination?
I quickly ran back to the tent to check, and Laura also started dancing in her sleep and mumbling something.
She has also fallen under the illusion! In desperation, I can't think of any good solution. Now I have lost the ability to control the elements, and I can't use the elements to stimulate her to wake up from the illusion.
Exciting? Thinking of this, I quickly brought the kettle. The night in the highlands was very cold, and the water in the kettle became bitingly cold. I gritted my teeth and poured the ice water in the kettle onto Laura's face. She was stimulated by the cold,
After waking up from the illusion, I looked at my kettle and her wet face. Just about to get angry, I quickly covered her mouth and whispered: "There is something wrong here. We were all under a magic illusion just now. I can only let
You sober up."
Laura looked around and nodded. After I took my hand away, she pulled my clothes and asked me what I should do.
I just observed the surroundings vigilantly, and after confirming that there was no danger for the time being, I asked Laura to try to use a little wind element to make the bonfire a little louder, and then several more bonfires were raised around the camp. The bonfires were made of materials I met in the grocery store before.
The old hunter taught me how to build a windproof bonfire. As long as it doesn't rain, no matter how strong the wind is, it can't be extinguished.
After lighting the last bonfire, Laura sat next to me, looked around and asked me what to do.
I thought about it carefully, we are alone in this woods now, but the existence of this woods itself is very strange. It appears in a place where it should not appear, and now Laura and I are under the magic illusion again.
I tried to use my magic perception to feel it. I closed my eyes and found that the flow of elements around me was normal. There was nothing special about it. If I had to say something special, it would be that the flow of water and wind elements was stronger, but in places like the highlands
, this is nothing unusual. As long as there are no special element fluctuations.
Suddenly, I sensed that there was a place deep in the woods where water elements and wind elements gathered particularly heavily, and they were flowing regularly around the middle of the woods. I tried to sense it carefully, but found that the place in the middle turned out to be a black hole for me.
generally.
After telling Laura the results, I quickly took out the map and marked the direction against the stars in the sky. There was no special mark on that area on the map, which meant that either the map was too old or that this place had only appeared recently.
.
After hearing my thoughts, Laura analyzed: "The Knights will update the map they often pass from time to time, and this map should be from many years ago, because the paper is very old. It looks like it was five years ago.
Years ago. But for such a large forest to appear, it would take five years for the Knights to notice it."
I nodded. The knights often go out and must be very sensitive to changes in the nearby terrain. Then there is only one possibility. This forest has just appeared recently.
The only solution now is to either take a detour or go through the woods.
Laura shook her head and seemed to see through my thoughts: "Henmo, we don't know how big this forest is. If we go around it, we may have to walk a lot longer, and there are so many places in the middle that you can't feel.
The flow of elements will affect us no matter how far we go. Besides, I don’t think all this is so hostile. If it was really the evil mages who did it, then we would be dead when we were under the illusion. In my opinion, this situation is the most
It is possible that they are the remains of an elemental explosion."
"Elemental explosion?" I asked curiously.
Laura nodded: "Yes, the elements in nature are always flowing. Of course, in addition to the artificial gathering and use of elements by magicians, there are also occasional impacts in nature where a large number of elements gather and then explode. When I was a child, I
I read a book in my father's study. The book said that the collision of two high-density elements may explode, and then form an elemental explosion, affecting the existence of surrounding elements. At the same time, because everything in nature relies on elements to survive, elements
The existence is different, and the things growing around may also be different. However, I have only seen elemental explosions in books, and no one in Merlin Academy has seen them with their own eyes. These are just what the books say."
After listening to Laura's words, I closed my eyes and felt it again. The flow of surrounding environmental elements is very stable, which can eliminate human factors. Although the density of water elements and wind elements in the central area is high, the flow is also very stable, which means there should be no
The possibility of human intervention. And the woods here are most likely to grow in this place due to the influence of the elemental explosion of water and wind elements. Now everything makes sense.
Laura and I looked at each other and nodded to each other. Since we couldn’t go around it, we simply walked through the woods to see with our own eyes the remains of the legendary elemental explosion!
