the last magic noble

Chapter 19 First meeting?Remnants of the Elemental Explosion
After leaving Merlin College, Laura and I walked southwest along the big signpost. This noble lady was full of freshness in the first two days, bouncing around, looking at everything fresh. Pull me to tell her the origin.

Just walking all the way, talking all the way, slowly we didn't see the road sign anymore, and the road came to an end.

"Let's take a break, I want to look at the map." I suggested.

Laura's face was full of displeasure: "I'm tired so quickly, why are you so bad." I didn't get angry when I heard this.

"My eldest lady, the heaviest thing on your body along the way is the short sword. You threw all the bags on me, and you still dragged me to tell you this and that. Even a cow was exhausted. .”

"Okay." Although Laura was a hundred unhappy in her heart, I really couldn't walk anymore, so I looked around, took out a map and compared it with the route we walked. We have reached the center of the highland The location, here is inaccessible, and the road for carriages also ends here, but this place always makes me feel a little strange.

I put down my burden and started to look around, but I still felt uneasy.

Laura sat leaning against a tree, saw me walking up and down, and said impatiently: "I said Hummer, what are you looking at, this is a forest. There is nothing to worry about, even a ghost There are no shadows."

forest!Yup!How can there be such a forest here?

According to the map, this place is already close to the Arctic Ocean, and the highlands have a typical oceanic climate, with even distribution of precipitation and small patches of trees. How can there be such tall and dense forests?Moreover, since entering the woods, we have not seen a single heather.too weird.

Full of suspicion, I checked my surroundings, and there was nothing suspicious, so I said to Laura: "Laura, this place is a bit strange, and it is almost sunset now. I suggest we camp here at the end of the road. Go through the woods tomorrow morning after sunrise."

Laura had almost fallen asleep just now, and now she felt drowsy and was about to fall asleep. I quickly grabbed her and said, "Tent, wait until I pull up the tent before going to sleep."

I found two adjacent big trees, and after confirming that the roots were solid, I wedged two wooden nails on the trees. After setting up the tent, I made the floor for Laura, and she fell asleep. A clearing was made and a bonfire was lit.

The forest is empty and quiet, and there is no light everywhere, only a bonfire here seems so disturbing.I fiddled with the bonfire and roasted the hare I just caught with a small trap, and slowly, I actually enjoyed this kind of life.

Suddenly, I saw my uncle's face.He walked over to me slowly, sat down beside me, looked at me with a smile, and praised me for doing a good job trapping.I happily tore off a leg from the hare and gave it to my uncle. He ate it and praised how much my craftsmanship had improved.

I feel at ease when I am with my uncle.

wrong!Uncle is dead!Suddenly a voice flashed in my mind, and then the scene in front of me suddenly changed, and 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 enter the hallucination?
I hurried back to the tent to check, and Laura also started to dance and dance in my dream, muttering something.

She also fell under the illusion!In desperation, I couldn't think of a good solution. Now I have lost the ability to manipulate elements, let alone stimulate her with elements to wake her up from the illusion.

Stimulate?Thinking of this, I quickly brought the kettle. The night in the highlands was very cold, and the water in the kettle became icy cold. I gritted my teeth and poured the ice water from the kettle on Laura’s face. After waking up, looking at my water bottle, and her wet face, I was about to get angry, I quickly covered her mouth, and whispered: "There is something wrong here, we were all under the magic illusion just now, I can only let you do this Wake up."

Laura looked around and nodded. After I took my hand away, she pulled my clothes and asked me what to do.

I just observed the surrounding 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 hotter, and then set up a few more bonfires around the camp. It was made of the windproof bonfire taught by the old hunter. As long as it is not raining, no matter how strong the wind is, it will not be blown out.

After lighting the last bonfire, Laura sat down next to me, looked around and asked me what to do.

I thought about it for a moment. We were alone in this wood, but the very existence of this wood was strange.Appeared where it wasn't supposed to be, and now Laura and I were under the magical illusion again.

I tried to perceive it with my magic perception. I closed my eyes and found that the flow of elements around me was normal, and 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 highlands , which is not surprising.As long as there are no special element fluctuations.

Suddenly, I felt that there was a place deep in the woods where water and wind elements gathered especially, and they flowed regularly around the middle of the woods.I tried to perceive it carefully, but found that the place in the middle turned out to be like a black hole to me.

After I told Laura the result, I quickly took out the map and marked the position against the stars in the sky. There was no special mark on the area on the map, indicating that either the map was too old, or this place appeared only recently. .

After listening to my thoughts, Laura analyzed: "The Knights will update the map they often pass by from time to time, and this map should be many years ago, because the paper is very old. It looks like five years ago. Years ago. But if such a large forest appears, the Knights should be aware of it in five years."

I nodded. The Knights often go out, so they must be very sensitive to changes in the nearby terrain.Then there is only one possibility, this forest just appeared recently.

The only solution now is to either make a detour or go through the woods.

Laura shook her head and seemed to see through my thoughts: "Henmore, we don't know how big this forest is. If we go around, it may take a lot of walking, and there are so many places in the middle that you can't perceive. The flow of elements will affect us no matter how far we go. Besides, I don’t think all of this is so hostile. If the evil mages really do it, then we will die when we fall into the illusion. In my opinion, this situation is the most It is possible that it is a remnant of an elemental explosion."

"Elemental explosion?" I asked curiously.

Laura nodded: "Yes, the elements in the natural world are always flowing. Of course, in addition to the artificial gathering and use of elements by magicians, there will occasionally be a large number of elements in the natural world that gather and then explode. When I was young, I I saw a book in my father's study, which said that the collision of two high-density elements may explode, and then form an element explosion, affecting the existence of surrounding elements. At the same time, because all things in nature rely on elements to survive, elements The existence is different, and the things growing around it may also be different. However, I have only seen the elemental explosion in books, and no one in Merlin College has seen it with their own eyes. These are all the words in the books."

After listening to Laura's words, I closed my eyes and felt it again. The flow of the surrounding environmental elements is very stable, which can exclude human factors. Although the density of water and wind elements in the central area is high, the flow is also very stable, which means that there should be no possibility of human intervention.And the woods here are likely to grow in this place because of the influence of the element explosion of the water element and the wind element, so everything makes sense now.

Laura and I looked at each other and nodded.Since we can't go around, let's simply go through this forest and see for ourselves the remains of the legendary elemental explosion!
