From Demon Hunter to Lord of the Empire

Chapter 38 At this time Lane was on his way to arrive on horseback

They passed through meadows dotted with sparse trees, through several misty, winding valleys, and across wide wooded meadows and dilapidated forests.

Dunka constantly uses his familiarity with the forest to find Ciri and show Lane the way.

The petite tree spirit shrunk in Lan’s arms, her almost naked upper body against Lan’s chest, fortunately, Len was wearing full body plate armor, but she couldn’t feel anything.

But if you change to someone else who is not so decent, this will become ape-like.

Suddenly, a lark flew towards this side.

“Stop! Dunka said to Rann immediately after seeing the lark.

The lark stopped on Dunka’s wrist and chirped. Dunka kept nodding, as if communicating with the other party.

After a long time, Dunka turned to Rann and said, “Found your princess.” ”

…………

The witty Ciri realizes that he is not really witty enough. Because she didn’t run away in the end.

The dryad’s control over the forest is truly unusual, and when Brian wakes up the next morning to find Ciri missing, she immediately starts chasing, and the method she tracks is unheard of by Ciri.

The whole forest is helping her! God knows that creatures like tree spirits can still communicate with animals, but the book doesn’t say this!

After all, human understanding of dryads is still very limited.

Brian not only chased after himself, but also constantly gathered fellow dryads in the process, rounding up Ciri in all directions.

The tree spirit kept chasing, Ciri kept running. She chases her and runs, she chases her and runs. As a result, Ciri chose the wrong direction and briefly approached the center of Blochlon.

That’s why more and more of her tree spirits are being fenced.

Ciri kept running, and the tree spirit blocked all the way. She ran and she blocked, she ran and she blocked, and it turned out to be really blocked.

What Ciri didn’t know was that they were very close to the capital known as Dunn Kanar by the dryves. She almost circled around Blochlon, wasting a lot of time going around in circles, and finally did not escape.

Dryad Dunka obtains this information from the mouth of the lark and relays to Rann what happened to Ciri during this time.

Rann couldn’t laugh or cry. He seemed to realize what the problem was. Unexpectedly, what caused the twists and turns was the self-help knowledge he taught Ciri.

Fortunately, after going around in circles, everything is back on track.

“In other words, we can just go directly to your capital now, right? ”

So the goal of the Rann duo turned to Duane Kanal.

It was not until sunset that Lane finally arrived at the Forest of Giant Trees under the guidance of Dunka.

Dunka dismounted at the entrance and fell to his knees, bowing his head in prayer.

Lane couldn’t help but be in awe when he looked at the scene in front of him. In the future, he saw a lot of modern buildings and various art scenes, but it was the first time he saw it like this.

The trees—mostly oak, yew and white walnut—were more than a dozen yards thick and difficult to judge, and the sinuous and powerful root whiskers turned into trunks well above their heads.

This kind of tree belongs to the kind of existence that you can tell at a glance that it is a fantasy forest, which is very “natural” and even “magical”.

Now they can move at a much faster pace: there is an open space between the huge trees, other grasses and trees cannot survive in their shadow, and there is only a thick layer of rotten leaves on the ground.

Black Wind ran even more jubilantly, it seemed to feel something, knowing that it was close to its goal.

They left the border of the forest of giant trees, and the unusually strong black wind ran wildly for another quarter of an hour, and once again entered the damp beech forest in the canyon.

Dunka suddenly asked to stop, she took off her flower crown and turned to Lan and said, “Human, I will blindfold you for the rest of the way.” I have to do it. ”

Lane took off his helmet: “I understand, then I will ask you to harness the black wind.” ”

The two moved on, and Lane could now only feel the outside world through his ears. He heard the songs of birds of different tones, the calls of squirrels; Then I heard the sound of horses’ hooves treading on the water, and the sound of fish fluttering in the water.

Lane knew he had come to the real Blochron. The end of the journey.

“Undo the blindfold, human. We’re here. The fog spread over the black wind’s knees, and Rann finally waited for Dunka’s voice.

“This is Doun Kanal, the Land of Oaks, the Heart of Blochlon. ”

Lane looked over and saw that there was a sinkhole, completely covered by a vast green canopy. Mist and steam rise from the earth, rocks and hot springs.

At first, there was a dead silence in the sinkhole, and there was no half a shadow in sight. But it wasn’t long before they heard a loud and pleasant whistle. A slender black-haired tree spirit walked gracefully on the spiral arrangement of porous mushrooms on the trunk. Like other tree spirits, the color of her clothes is deceiving.

Of course, this deceptive effect may also come from their skin.

Dunka and the dark-haired dryad began to communicate in a tone like a light singing and whispering. This is the dialect of the dryads, and there are not many of the entire race of dryads who can communicate with humans normally, and only guerrillas like Dunka can learn the lingua franca.

Lane looked at Dunn Kanal, the capital of the dryad was actually a huge oak tree that “grew” from the bottom of the sinkhole.

Above this huge oak tree, there are more mistletoe masses, hanging heavily from the branches and trunks, some very close to the ground, some far away, and some even placed on the top of the tree. These are the houses of the tree spirits, and these tree houses are living wood, “houses” that grow directly from huge oak trees.

Lane saw that there were also several larger buildings on the ground: huts made of intertwined branches, roofs covered with leaves. He could feel life in those buildings, but he couldn’t see the shadow of the dryad.

Dunka said, “Go inside, human. Your princess is inside, and you will meet Queen Aina with her later. ”

Lan took a deep breath: “Goodbye, Ms. Dunka.” ”

Following the direction of Dunka’s finger, Lane walked into a wooden house. The walls and ceiling of the “house” filter sunlight and give the interior a kaleidoscopic glow.

He pushed open the door as if he heard an argument inside.

“Little scoundrel! I almost died because of you! Ha! You’re really lucky, I can’t get up now, or I’ll definitely punch your ass! Because of you, my baronial lord is finished, and even if I get out of the forest alive, my only destination is the gallows. ”

“You little scoundrel! King Evel is going crazy… Each message was more terrifying than the last, saying that your grandmother had sent an army to attack him. But who believes you ran out on your own? Everyone knew what Evel was like, everyone thought he was… Drunk and did something stupid and ordered you to be thrown into a pond and drowned!

We are about to go to war with Nifgaard, and now our contract and alliance with your grandmother have failed! Do you know how bad things you’ve done? ”
