Ella was stunned by the other party's state, and even had her train of thought interrupted for a moment, so she comforted:
"It doesn't matter if you don't find anything..."
Ling looked up at her with a strange expression.
"Actually, I found something..."
The short-haired girl first took out a dark yellow leather map, thinking of Shadlin's slaughterhouse, Ella decided not to think about this material that looked similar to lambskin.The crooked lines were drawn on the map with black carbon and reddish-brown unknown liquid, and Ella quickly recognized several prominent place names, such as the Forest of Silence and Enoch.
"This is a very good discovery!"
She cried out in surprise and became even more puzzled by Ling's strange state.
"More than that."
Ling took out a small bag of dried mushrooms from behind,
"I also found something edible. It's not poisonous or contaminated. Maybe it was left by some unlucky guy who was eaten by Shadelin."
"Oh, it was in the soup before."
Ella remembered something, and Ling's face turned pale after hearing the word "soup". She turned around suddenly, bent over and retched several times.
After a while, the girl regained her strength and said weakly:
"Forget the soup... what do you think this bloody wendigo ate for us before? When I poured out the pot just now, I saw three eyeballs and half an ear! "
Ella felt nauseous for a while. She felt that something was churning in her stomach, and she could barely suppress the urge to vomit.
"Okay, okay, I only ate a few slices of mushrooms..."
She comforted herself like this, but she couldn't bear it for three seconds. She and Ling both used the first magic "Raguz" mastered when they first came into contact with occultism in childhood to create pure water.
While rinsing her mouth, Ella puffed up her cheeks and stared at Ling, who had wandering eyes. If this guy hadn't told her about the soup, she would definitely not feel so disgusted now.
"I've rinsed it three times...it should be clean."
Ling slumped on the back of the chair, motionless.
"Yeah, I remember someone drank an entire bowl of broth—"
Ella regretted it as soon as she said it halfway. She felt half of her body shuddering. This was simply hurting each other.
And these half-sentences made Ling bounce off the back of the chair, she couldn't bear it anymore, kicked open the door and threw up lying on the snow.
-
Three minutes later, both of them avoided the topic of "soup".
"There are no allies in the morgue, and we haven't found any marks left by them along the way... Shall we continue to go out to find them?"
Ling said that although she didn't think Shadelin could deal with the alliance's wizard group, she still checked it again just to be safe.
"better not."
Ella threw a dark piece of wood into the fireplace.
"The Forest of Silence is more dangerous than we thought, maybe there is more than one Wendigo here."
Maybe it was because they were afraid of killing the two wizards of Xia Delin, or maybe they didn't know what happened in the hut, so they didn't dare to enter the same kind of territory rashly.With this in mind, Ella buried Shadrin's body in snow.
"We'll rest here for the night and go to them during the day...and I have a guess."
After saying that, Ella shook her head vigorously as if to get the idea out of her head.
"It's better not to be what I thought..."
Chapter 26 Upside Down Error
Ella and Ling spent the night in Xia Delin's hut. After the messenger Beatrice returned for the fifth time, Ella signaled that she didn't have to continue to go out to find the envoy.
Beatrice's biological clock is similar to its appearance. With enough food, the bat messenger does not need to sleep at night.
With a messenger keeping vigil, they don't have to worry about being attacked at night.Ella thought she was a light sleeper and her inspiration was slowly returning, but a little extra precaution never hurt.
When she woke up the next day, Ella lifted the blanket up a little to cover Ling's shoulders.They had been worried that the black thing was woven from hair, but after repeated confirmation, they found that it was just an ordinary animal skin.
There was still a crackle in the fireplace, and the oil-rich tree branches were very resistant to burning and kept the temperature in the room until daybreak.
The weather in the forest became less severe, but even so it still accumulated nearly a foot and a half of solid snow overnight.
To be honest, if it wasn't for Inspiration's relatively accurate sensing of time, Ella even doubted that she hadn't slept for a long time.
The sky outside was still a bit gloomy. Although it should be the next morning, the sun did not appear in the sky that should have cleared up.Recalling the experience of the Snow Kingdom, this is not an unacceptable phenomenon. For this almost alien space, a lot of common sense from the outside world is meaningless.
The sky seemed to be a little brighter than late at night, but since no sunlight was observed, it was difficult for Ella to understand the reason for this change.
Ella filled the alchemy cauldron with some clean snow and set it on the hearth.The girl's movements are very proficient, and it is not the first time she has used the alchemy dish to cook and eat. As early as many years ago in London, Ella used the alchemy instrument as a kitchen utensil. This kind of thing will happen for the first time There are countless times.
Before falling asleep, she and Ling thoroughly cleaned the room. The pot of broth that was hard to look at had been thrown out of the house last night along with the iron pot.
To be fair, Shadelin is a generous monster. Although her intention may be to feast after entertaining her prey, she does not hide any food.
Ella couldn't find yesterday's bread mixed with plant leaves in the hut, and it was very likely that it was the last few pieces left.
She sat on a chair and spread out the torn map. Several scarlet circles were marked in the area representing the snow forest. Ella guessed that they might be other dangerous areas in the snow forest, or other Wendigo hunting areas. Or some other monster.
Shadelin made some very simple observations on the map. At most, they were simple and easy-to-understand explanations such as "danger" and "hunting ground", or some special terrain or even strange place names.Judging from the map, reaching Enoch City requires passing through a snow forest and a wilderness. It is estimated that this will probably take about three days.
It is worth mentioning that the language marked by Ms. Xia Delin is ancient Hebrew, and Ella does not think she is a scholar of ancient prose.In this way, the common language used by ordinary people in the land of Nod is interesting.
Ayla's gaze finally stopped at a place near the edge of the snowy forest. The triangular symbol was marked with the words "hunting ground" by Xia Delin, and it seemed to be a village named Balan.
Ling got up at some point, stretched herself, and then took some hot water from the alchemy cauldron.
"looking at what?"
Ling took a sip of hot water and asked.
Ella pushed across the table some dried bacon that Adolf had stuffed into his suitcase before leaving.Ella originally thought it would be enough to just put the food in the cabin, but it turned out that the latter was indeed an experienced executor, because no one knew whether she would be forced to separate from the team for other reasons.
Ella pointed to the triangular pattern marked with charcoal on the map and said:
"Look in this direction, along a straight line from the coast to the north, this is the town closest to the Snow Forest. If others had just arrived in the Land of Nod ahead of time, they would definitely choose to wait here."
"There are wounded in the mission. If I were Lucien, I would rest in this town for at least three days."
According to the map, the land of Nod was not as big as imagined.There are wizard scouts in the envoy who are responsible for reconnaissance. As long as they rise into the air on a clear day, they cannot miss the town.
The town of Balan is not too far from Shadlin's hut. Apart from hunting humans who entered the forest, this Wendigo that eats humans will also wander and hunt not far from the village from time to time. In the underground mortuary Mostly air-dried to save many innocent townspeople.
The snow in the snow forest is so thick that it is unimaginable. It is very difficult to walk in this kind of terrain.
Before leaving, Ayla left a redrawn map on the table in the hut.According to Ling, she originally wanted to set fire to the disgusting morgue, but Ella stopped it.
Her answer to Ling's question was:
"There are other people who may use this map."
Ella snapped her fingers, and the one-foot-wide thin ice road continued to spread following the footsteps of the two. She simply tucked her knees on the suitcase and slid along the ice.
And Ling maintained the floating spell, put his hands on Ella's shoulders and floated in mid-air like a kite.She spread her wings, using them as sails, and steered away from the sparse black trees of the forest.
After being filtered by the court mage's cloak, there was only some cool wind blowing in front of her face. Ella's long silver hair was pulled back by the wind, revealing her smooth forehead.
Ling let out a crisp laughter like birdsong behind her. In my impression, it seemed that the two of them hadn't acted together like this for a long time. The time seemed to go back to a few years ago. This is really a nostalgic scene.
There were no wild animals in the forest, and even the singing of birds could not be heard, only a small leather suitcase quickly shuttled through the forest holding up white snow and dust.At this speed and along the safe route marked by Xia Delin, it took them less than two hours to slide to the edge of the snow forest.
Ling had difficulty controlling her weight due to the levitation spell, and she only had time to scream before poking herself into the bushes.
In twos and twos Ella pulled the bushes free, pulling them out of the snow pit.
"Are you OK?"
Ling was lying on his back on the snow in some embarrassment, his hair was a bit messy, and there were even a few broken dry branches stuck in it.With her physical strength, it is difficult to get hurt even in a hurry.
She just froze for a moment, then laughed out loud, and it took a long time before she calmed down the ups and downs of her chest.
"Let's continue our journey like this after that, it's quite interesting, isn't it?"
Balan Town has appeared in a place visible to the naked eye. It is said to be a town, but it is actually just a dozen shabby mud houses.Some of them can't even put together four complete walls, making it difficult to even avoid snow.
The smile on Ella's face faded unconsciously. She couldn't feel any magical atmosphere from the town, and the envoys were not here.This result was not unexpected. She had thought of this possibility last night.
In the snow forest along the way, she did not find any shadows or marks left by Hyde and the others, so the answer was obvious.
Ella began to thank herself for leaving a map at the cabin.
-
The embassy marched along the mountain face, which ensured that at least one side of the team could shelter from the snow and not get lost in this environment.
After leaving the floating ice coast, the team had been walking for more than two hours.But the wizards in charge of the scouting work have not been able to find caves and other places that can shelter from the snow.
Schiff, who was riding a griffin, walked at the front of the team. The thick fur of the griffin can play a good role in heat preservation.He is trying to analyze the resinous components in these twisted black trees. In his opinion, this kind of thing is really not like normal plant juice.It even hides an imperceptible obscure magic power, its nature is similar to some kind of complicated curse, but its power is insignificant in terms of its complexity.
Sif Mephisto has extraordinary attainments in non-combat-related magic fields, or to make up for his lack of bloodline strength, his talents in these areas are quite good.
"Not only the filthy blood, but even the plants are cursed..."
Unlike the dirty blood that has disappeared from the outside world for nearly a hundred years, at least the samples of this plant do not seem to be rare. If possible, he would like to collect more samples for research.Even if only a trivial part could be resolved, it would be quite a significant discovery.
In front of him not far away, a twisted plant with multi-branched branches entangled upwards was studded with a few shriveled seeds.Schiff stretched out his hand with some joy, this was the first time he found seeds on this plant.
Originally, according to the team's traveling speed, the seed should have been delivered to him at this time. The only reason that could explain this error was that the movement stopped.
He lowered his head in doubt, and then found that the griffin was sniffing something in doubt. Generally speaking, the sense of smell of animals is far more sensitive than that of humans, let alone such high-ranking magical creatures.
He turned his gaze to the direction where the griffin's nose was twitching, and unconsciously made a sound of surprise.
"Huh? What is this?"
Hearing this, Hyde took a few steps forward and plucked a strip of light-colored fabric from the branch.
"Like someone left a mark"
Before he could take a closer look, the rag was snatched by Shadow.
