Section 29 The Forgotten Country
ps: Thanks to the book friend Coral Bookworm for giving 10,000 points of coins twice in a row! In this way, this book also has the first leader! All kinds of excitement, I must update it tomorrow!
The distant coast is getting closer and closer, and Lance opens Hawkeye and can vaguely see the edge of the coast, which is a vast black forest.
The boat of the Dead gradually approached, maintained a certain distance from the coastline, and drove slowly.
Soon, a dilapidated port appeared in front of them.
The old ghost skillfully controlled the ghost ship and quietly sailed into the unmanned port.
Lance noticed that, like the Lost Wayer Pier, the extension of the port also had a tall wooden pole with similar lanterns hanging on it.
The ship slowly landed, and Lance could see a huge stone tablet erected on the edge of the dilapidated port.
The stone tablet is written in bright red font: [Sanchester. Port 1]
"Sanchester is the name of this half plane. It should be correct." Dora said, holding the side of the ship.
Lance nodded.
They put down the boarding board and got off the ghost ship one after another.
Lance was the last time to get off the boat. He shook the thin silver thread in his hand and finally released the souls of the two children.
After the little boy's ghost was released, he almost immediately wanted to rush up to trouble Lance, but was strongly stopped by the old ghost.
He looked at Lance and asked, "My urn... can I return it to me, right?"
Lance took out the urn and asked back, "If I return it to you, you may not let us leave smoothly."
The other four wizards immediately took out their staff when they heard Lance say this.
The atmosphere between the two sides immediately became stagnant.
The old ghost said helplessly: "I can't leave this ghost ship, so are these two children. You don't have to worry about us being malicious towards you. What's more, you still have runes engraved with soul marks in your hands, which has a great suppression on our power."
Lance thought for a while and signaled everyone to leave first: "You go to the forest to wait for me, and I will catch up immediately."
The other few people hesitated for a moment and chose to believe Lance. They told Lance to be careful and walked quickly inland.
After all the other four people walked far away and even reached the edge of the forest, Lance suddenly picked up the urn and ran inland.
"I'm going to kill him!"
Seeing this scene, the little boy in blue said angrily.
He jumped off the boat despite the old man's dissuasion.
However, in an instant, his body seemed to fall into the water as if a soldering iron fell into the water, making a stinging sound. He knelt on the dock in pain.
"Come back..." the old man sighed and said, "We have long been part of this ship. No matter what, we cannot escape this fate."
The little boy stood up in pain and looked at Lance's back unwillingly, and finally returned to the boat with the help of the old man.
"I'm sorry..." the little girl made a timid voice.
"It's okay." The old ghost said calmly: "My existence is meaningless. If you destroy it, it may be a good end."
At this moment, a black shadow suddenly flew from afar.
Whoosh!
The sharp arrow was nailed to the wooden boards of the cabin, and a light urn was hung at the end of the bow and arrow.
The old ghost looked into the depths of the dock in shock.
Lance was facing them, smiled faintly, and then turned around and ran.
"What a maverick guy..." The old ghost walked over and packed his urn.
He touched the little girl's head and said, "Next time, I will definitely hide it where you can't find it."
The little girl bit her lip and suddenly started crying.
The old ghost rubbed her head: "Stop crying, let's go."
"Where are we going?" the girl gradually calmed down her crying and asked in a low voice.
"There will always be one of the endless rivers of planes that will be our destination."
The old man controlled the boat of the dead and slowly drove away from the port.
The black sail tilted slightly, and in a short while, the ship disappeared into the vast sea of darkness.
...
On the edge of the Black Forest, Lance's figure rushed to the sky.
"Let's go!" Lance said.
The other four nodded and quickly stepped into the forest.
Although they were curious about whether Lance had returned the urn to the old ghost, none of this was the key.
At this moment, they had stepped on the half-plane Sanchester and could reach the Sivare Castle at any time. Their adventure goal was to make the wealth and resources in the Sivare Castle. The rest of the things were not that important compared to it.
"This black forest is not mentioned in the book of Revelation."
The group walked in the forest, Dora said, "But the edge of this semi-plane, due to the power of order, usually grows similar black forests to protect ordinary creatures from the sea of darkness."
"It's true." Lance responded: "In theory, we can reach the center of Sanchester by just traveling through this black forest. As a half-plane, its area should not be too vast."
"I hope to know the specific location of the castle." Valerie said: "Otherwise, even if the geography of the semi-plane is not very vast, it would be too difficult to search like a needle in a haystack."
"I have a rose tree badge that can sense the castle's location," Dora explained. "Once we approached the Sivare Castle, that rose tree badge reminded me of the specific location I dealt with."
"This is the only good news I've heard in this adventure." Landry muttered.
...
Time passes by little by little. The trees on both sides of the forest are constantly retreating.
After the initial investigation and judgment, Lance discovered that the forest was just an ordinary forest, with few creatures inside, and even if there were some ordinary animals and plants.
For these wizards, even the most powerful creatures in this forest - such as tigers, jackals and others, can be ignored directly.
So they quickly increased their pace of progress.
Lance volunteered to rush to the forefront. The sub-chip Hawkeye and Black Bat made Lance's reconnaissance ability reach a pervert, far exceeding the level that wizards in this world have.
In his right eye, a main screen reflects the route ahead. The small screen in the upper right corner is divided into two grids. The upper grid is composed of light green lines, which is a three-dimensional model of the terrain in front; and the lower grid shows the road conditions and surrounding environment of the place you are walking through. The powerful abilities of these two auxiliary chips allow Lance to run forward unscrupulously.
Each wizard has more or less auras lingering around. These state spells can increase their speed of progress.
The aura on Lance had the least, only a light green and swift wind.
But even so, it was already very difficult for Landry and others who had been following him.
"This guy... I saw his speed so fast before. It was so difficult to follow up."
Dora gritted her teeth and tried hard to keep up with the progress.
Among the dark spells she practiced, there are many spells that bless her own state. And the combat body technique she practiced can greatly increase her agility. But even so, it is very difficult to keep up with Lance.
What made Dora even more depressed was that Lance could lead them all the way without doing his best; if he ran at full speed, he would probably be thrown away in an instant!
"This kind of physical fitness... is not something that ordinary humans can possess. Mr. Lance is indeed the most powerful among us."
Sacra followed the last, and a hint of admiration flashed in his eyes.
As for Landry and Valerie, they had no energy to think about it at all. If they wanted to keep up with Lance's speed, they used all their strength. If they relaxed a little, they might fall behind.
"I can't make a fool of myself!" Valerie gritted her teeth and ran wildly.
Landry also ran desperately with similar ideas.
This run took more than an hour.
When Lance's figure suddenly stopped, the four wizards behind him immediately seemed to be free, and they all stood up with their knees and gasped.
Among them, Landry was the most exaggerated and just sat down.
He sat down and shouted, "No, no... If you run like this, I will be exhausted before I even ran out of the forest. Lance, did you do it on purpose?"
Seeing Landry sitting down and still forcibly supporting Valerie immediately leaned against the tree with her back to hide her weakness. She is a very strong person and does not want to show her weakness in any occasion.
Lance turned around and saw the four people's embarrassing appearance, and then realized that he was running a little faster.
He smiled awkwardly: "Sorry... I didn't pay attention for a while... I saw that you could keep following you, so I couldn't help but run faster."
The four of them rolled their eyes all at once.
Please, this is called running faster? This is simply running wildly!
Everyone complained in their hearts.
But when they saw Lance standing there calmly, without even a drop of sweat on his smooth forehead, they could only bury these words in their stomachs.
"This guy is a monster, and he cannot be measured by ordinary standards." They could only comfort themselves like this.
Regarding this topic, even Sacra, who had always been silent, said: "I think it can be slower next time."
"If we continue running like this, if we encounter an enemy, we will not even have the energy to cast spells."
Lance smiled: "No next time, haven't you seen it yet?"
After saying that, he pointed forward.
Everyone was stunned. They had been gritting their teeth before and following Lance to bury their heads, but they had no energy to pay attention to the situation around them.
They looked around and were stunned to find that under the leadership of Lance, they had already run to the edge of the Black Forest.
I looked in the direction Lance's finger pointed, and the scenery outside the forest was completely visible.
It was a vast and abundant land. The stream was winding between acres of fertile fields. The smell of green grass mixed with the muddy smell floated from afar. Several figures were working in the fields. On the grasslands in the east, beautiful windmills slowly rotated, and next to the windmills were tall bakeries. Although they were far apart, they seemed to smell the smell of wheat.
"Where is this place?" After a long time, Dora suppressed her surprise and asked involuntarily.
"It's obviously a forgotten country," Lance said, pointing to the boundary marker on the edge of the forest:
"[Sowaha], in the Analects of Confucius, this is the meaning of [Forgotten Land]." (To be continued, please search for Piaotianyi, novels are better, updated and faster!
