As a Sword Saint, I Want to Be a Demon King

The most common one is the black crow that is more than 10 times larger than ordinary birds, and there are also some unknown strange monsters.

They work loyally for Si Qiu, even passing airships are occasionally attacked by them. The sky above the Willow Forest can be said to be the most dangerous part of the journey from the Western Continent to Farnes.

"I can only rely on myself in the future..."

Touching the unusable crystal ball in her pocket, the silver-haired girl sighed.

Thinking of going to the Kingdom of Magic to be a tutor next time, she always felt that her future would be full of disasters.

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

After the hot air balloon flew to a safe height, everyone breathed a sigh of relief at the same time, and the atmosphere in the gondola became lively.

"By the way, the Helfelis Mountain Range and the Willow Forest, what kind of places are these two places?"

The silver-haired girl asked them curiously:

"Why can long-distance communication be isolated?"

"It's not the fault of the imperial people!"

A mage replied in a low voice:

"The Holy Land of the Radiant Holy See was not originally in Helfelis. One day, someone suddenly discovered that the mountains there were rich in crystal mines."

"So they blatantly called it the [Holy Mountain], and used this as an excuse to occupy most of the area;"

"But then the excessive excavation caused the mana to become disordered...the communication between the east and west continents was also cut off."

"Haven't other countries protested?"

The silver-haired girl continued to ask:

"It's very inconvenient."

"Hehe, the Holy See of Glory is just a pawn of the Listea Empire; the people of the empire are afraid that we will join forces with the countries in the Western Continent to overthrow their dominance."

Another magician sneered and said:

"Due to the existence of the Willow Forest and several special areas, Farnes was unable to send troops to the Helfelis Mountains, so he could only acquiesce to this result."

"—No way, the empire is right next to the Helfelis Mountains, and we are far away."

Ali Emerida shook her head and said:

"Coupled with the fact that there are many powerful forces around the Willow Forest, it is difficult for Farnes to control it."

"Apart from the mad dragon Siqiu and the ancient tree spirit, are there any other powerful people?"

The silver-haired girl opened her eyes wide.

"—Elf."

Ali Emerida smiled wryly and said:

"It's not the one you usually see, but a dark elf."

"In addition to the dark elves, there are [Witch Swamp] and [Blood Mine]."

witch?

Hearing this word, the silver-haired girl was shocked.

Just listen to Ali Emerald continue to say:

"The Scarlet Mine used to be the territory of the gray dwarves. The gray dwarves never associate with other races, and they are cruel and bloodthirsty by nature. They are some notorious robbers;"

"For unknown reasons, those gray dwarves were all cursed and turned into terrifying monsters, occupying the area near the mine. Since then, no one has dared to enter there again."

"Where's the Witch Swamp?"

The silver-haired girl asked while holding her breath.

——that's what she cares about the most.

"It's a very safe place there."

A magician next to him smiled and replied:

"The premise is that you can pass through the swamp and enter the depths."

"The environment of the swamp itself is very dangerous, but as long as you can pass the obstacles set by the witches, you can reach their homeland smoothly."

"When you get there, they will entertain you warmly. I heard that some witches will even..."

Before she could finish speaking, Ari Emerida suddenly tapped her knee with her magic wand.

"pain!"

The magician didn't dare to speak for a moment.

"Is the ruler of the Witch Swamp the [White Witch]?"

The silver-haired girl thought deeply.

"Yes, it is that kind-hearted great witch."

Ali Emerida nodded and said:

"However, not everyone can see her... I don't know how many people go to the Witch's Swamp every year, but so far, few have been able to see her true face."

"Your Excellency the White Witch has a very good relationship with us Farnese, but she is a peace-loving person and will not take the initiative to help us eliminate the enemy."

She sighed and said:

"She believes that everything has the right to survive... so although the witch's swamp is the strongest, it has never invaded outside."

"Compared to that hideous black witch, it's really a heaven and an earth."

Egwene said sourly.

Hearing her words, the hanging basket suddenly became silent.

"What happen to you guys?"

She looked at these magicians and wondered.

"Your Excellency Garcia is worthy of being a descendant of heroes."

Ali Emerida smiled wryly and said:

"Although that one is our enemy, he has advanced to the rank of god, and no one dares to talk about gods casually."

"Maybe the sages can ignore this, but we can't."

After saying this, the hanging basket fell into silence again.

Just at this moment, the balloon encountered a high-altitude torrent, and all the people who knew wind magic stood up and began to help stabilize the hanging basket. The conversation just now ended without beginning or end.

After stabilizing again, the temperature gradually dropped to about 0 degrees.

Ha, there was a white fog in the breath outside, and after a while, the inner wall of the hanging basket became extremely cold, leaning on it was like leaning on a piece of ice.

The flight altitude has reached 20 meters, and the temperature has dropped to minus [-] degrees.

Not to mention weak magicians, even strong fighters couldn't stay in this low temperature for a long time, so everyone had to increase the output of the nozzles to keep warm.

However, due to lack of oxygen at high altitude and no combustion-supporting things, they had to take a balanced value in the end, and barely continued to fly upwards. Everyone became miserable.

"It should be almost at the limit."

The silver-haired girl looked outside and whispered:

"Turn around now, let the balloon maintain this altitude, we should head in the direction of Farnes."

Directly below the hanging basket, the cone-shaped mountain had turned into a small white dot.

If they are still detected by the enemy in such a place, they can only accept their fate.

"—no flock of crows was found."

The magician in charge of the investigation rubbed his hands and reported:

"Do you want to activate the magic bomb now to attract the other party's attention?"

"Wait a minute."

Ally Emerald says:

"We haven't flown far enough to be easily spotted by the crows."

"Now! Start the bomb!"

After everyone flew forward for a certain distance, she finally gritted her teeth and gave an order!

"Boom boom boom——————!"

There was a red flame in the forest in the distance!

The magicians let out excited shouts!

Everyone has been tortured in this forest, and finally let out a fierce breath of anger at this moment!

In the flames, the hot air balloon slid across the night sky without a sound and disappeared into the sky.

……

……

"Pong!"

A few days later, one night, when everyone was dreaming sweet dreams, there was a muffled sound in their ears.

It seemed that some powerful attack hit the defensive array they set up, and was ejected.

"Get up, there are enemies!"

The magicians were awakened immediately, picked up the staffs around them one after another, and released their observation eyes to look down.

"—It's not the enemy, it's the border post!"

Ali Emerida said in surprise:

"No wonder the familiar didn't warn us, we've already left the forest!"
