chapter 7 Another world

The distant sky is an endless black void. The sky is always a turbid gray, like the darkest dusk. The gray in the sky is rolling in, but it's hard to tell whether it's clouds or fog.

There is no day or night here, no time.

The forest has lost all vitality hundreds of millions of years ago. Only the body and thicker branches of the towering trees remain. There were threads of spider web-like things hanging on the trees, but they couldn't be spider webs. No spider can survive here.

There are swamps scattered everywhere on the ground, and one or two bubbles appear from time to time in the gray mud. Skeletons of unknown creatures would occasionally float up, only to be swallowed up by the mud.

The wind carries a damp and cold breath, and a stench blows in my face every now and then.

This is a paradise for aliens, undead spirits and devils.

Amaris didn't know how long she had been walking in the forest. It couldn't remember where it came from, it only remembered that the creature named "Roger" gave itself this name. Amaris instinctively felt like vomiting at her name, but she didn't know where this feeling came from. As for vomiting, it feels so familiar, but I can’t remember how to do it. Of course, what can a skeleton spit out.

The dim skylight fell mottled on the ground and Amaris's body. It just wanted to get out of the forest, but it didn't know why it wanted to get out. This is instinctive.

Amaris could always feel a trace of energy coming from the person named "Roger". Amaris also knew that she could not refuse Roger's order. There are too many things in this world that Amaris cannot understand. But this energy makes it very comfortable and more powerful, but there is too little. It is like a helpless traveler in the desert waiting for a drop of water to fall.

Amaris was extremely hungry.

Carrying the rusty long knife, Amaris wandered aimlessly in the forest, having forgotten where he found the knife. It carefully avoided some places, and its intuition told it that the existence there was powerful and evil. Amaris is very smart. When facing skeletons like herself, she will always come up with some ways to defeat them cleverly, because they carry energy that makes Amaris hungry.

I have forgotten which day it was when Amaris found a few bones with good quality. After a burst of mist, these bones had made up for her 24 ribs. Amaris felt that her ribs should be 24. This repair used up Amaris accumulated energy. If "Roger" hadn't transmitted some energy at the right time, Amaris didn't know whether he would have been able to face the first zombie he encountered.

The fight went on for a long time. The power of the zombies was not something Amaris could contend with. After paying the price of three ribs, Amaris finally realized that the zombies could not catch up with her. So a skeleton began to circle around the zombies, and from time to time it would go up with a knife and cut off some carrion. Finally, the zombie fell, and Amaris had less than 20 ribs.

The other skeletons and zombies in the other world seemed not to bother each other when they met. Amaris didn't understand why she would defeat them no matter what if she saw the lone ones. "I'm hungry," the skeleton thought.

There is no time in another world, and Amaris keeps wandering around. It doesn't know how long it has been wandering, and it doesn't know how long it will continue to wander.

The forest seems to have no end.

After the battle in Xiaolou, Roger became very interested in skeletons that could pretend to be dead. In the dead of night, there is often a person and a skeleton standing staring at each other on the second floor of the small building. After trying countless times to communicate with his mind without success, Roger finally lost interest.

Roger didn't know where the skeleton's knife came from. After researching for a long time, there was no result, so he stopped looking into it.

The weather was getting hotter day by day, and before he knew it, Roger had celebrated his twentieth birthday, and it was already time to leave the Magic Academy. In a few days, it would be the exam day. In a few months, Roger had read more than half of the 30-volume General History of the Mainland, and he also read a bunch of adventure biographies, travel notes, and various notes.

Ette passed the Magic Academy exam three months ago and is now working hard to become a Magic Knight. After all, being a magician would be a waste of his bulk. Kate became a strong fifth-level knight under the old man's training. Of course, from the perspective of belief, father and son should be regarded as dark knights. As for Luns and Folan, they also improved their swordsmanship while idle. What's even more rare is that the two of them spent most of the money they spent on women, art and fine wine on their own equipment, so their strength improved far beyond the actual level.

A few people are really not motivated by nature, they are just forced by the situation. After the battle in Xiaolou, when several people were looking for flowers, asking Liu Qiang to rob civilian girls, someone would jump out and start a fight from time to time. Although the Sword and Blood Rose mercenary group is not large enough to even be a third-rate mercenary group, its leader (the mage who died) was generous and generous, and Mirabel had many suitors. There are always some mercenaries who know the truth and want to take revenge.

The weather is getting hot, and people's hearts are getting restless. On the day of the exam, Roger in the examination room randomly cast the magic of two flaming fingers. Even if he passed the exam, he got a magician robe in exchange. In the afternoon, I went to the Mages Guild in the city to register, and I officially became a low-level magician. If he is willing to be called upon by the Rhine League when needed, Roger can also receive a monthly allowance of 5 gold coins. But Roger, who has read a lot of history, now has other great ideals.

"Bang" several wine glasses clashed together heavily.

"It's been a while since we brothers got together properly. Grandma, there are killers everywhere. Come on, let's not go home until we get drunk today!!" The bear-like Ette was taller than the pure knight Kate. He raised his wine glass and drank the wine. All the breath fell into his throat. Kate had a heroic and upright face, and he was also flushed at the moment, smelling of alcohol. As for Luns and Folan, they are both pretty good-looking. But it is common among nobles. After all, noble ladies are pretty good-looking.

These people have been through life and death together many times in the past six months, and they have also formed a lot of friendship.

"Brothers, I will go to Falborg tomorrow to take office. Alas, we can't get together more in the future. You guys will have to visit me often in the future. Of course, you have to bear the travel expenses."Kate looked frustrated.

Folan said: "Farburg? It's the one close to the Demonic Forest, right. There are a lot of thieves nearby. I heard that recently, small groups of scouts from the Principality of Ron often pass through the Demonic Forest and move around there. Be careful. "

Kate took a sip of wine and said: "My old man insisted that I go there to accumulate some military merits, so that he could give me a hard work. Besides, the head of the Knights of Falborg garrison and my old man are friends who wear crotchless pants, so he can still take care of me." A little bit. This time he gave me the black elf breastplate at home, hehe, it was sent."

"Brothers, Farburg is a great place!"Roger became more energetic. He stepped on the chair and said frothing at the mouth: "That place is close to the Demonic Forest and close to the front line. There are many adventurers! This time Kate went there to be the captain of the cavalry... Huh? It's the squad leader? Also. It doesn't matter, isn't the leader a relative of yours? We can develop well. Think about it, what do those adventurers, monster hunters, and even the army need? Weapons!! If we open a weapons auxiliary, wouldn't it? Have you published it? It is difficult for others to do this, and there are many restrictions. What are the restrictions on us? Think about it again, how do those people who enter the Demonic Forest get their money? By the way, they can make money by hunting monsters and selling their crystal cores or furs. We don’t have the strength to hunt monsters, but we can buy their prey. These things, in Feiss’s boring hands, are excellent materials. Turn them into magic equipment and sell them to adventurers. Damn it, let’s sit here Even if you don't move, you can make them shed a few layers of skin!"

Luns also came to his senses. "There are 200,000 people in Falborg, and there are probably a lot of beauties. With Kate there, we don't have to live like grandchildren like we do in the royal capital. We are all officials. Anyway, I'm fine, Roger. Let me partner with you."

"Your eyes light up when it comes to adventurers. Didn't you have enough of that girl last time?"Ette chuckled and stared at Luns.

"Damn it, why am I so unlucky that even those who raise their legs say hello to me? I couldn't touch a woman for a month, it's my grandma's fault, and then I let her taste my pain!"Luns gritted his teeth. "Is that girl still in your cell?"Folan asked. "Of course, she's well-raised. How about letting her go so easily, it almost made me die! What do you think, brothers, come to my place tonight?" Several people at the table laughed lewdly.

A few people drank for a while. Except for Kate, everyone else is unemployed and just want to go out for a walk. So we decided to go to Farburg together to open a weapons shop and buy adventurer items. Kate left first, while the others packed their things and set off together in a few days. As for Feiss, he had already been dragged into the water by Roger, but the things in his laboratory could not be moved away in a short while.

The moon was at its peak, and several scum of the royal capital staggered out of the tavern, their robes stained by wine. As they walked into a long dark street, suddenly several figures dressed as masked adventurers quietly jumped out and surrounded a few people in the center.

"You scum deserved your death! Today I will avenge Mirabel." Several villains sighed together. They had heard such opening remarks at least seven or eight times.

Several masked men showed their weapons and rushed forward, and a magician on the outside began to chant a spell.

Suddenly a crossbow arrow shot into the magician's chest like lightning. Roger was now known as the magician killer. Several other people took out their weapons from under their robes, but they didn't even look drunk at all. And he was clearly armed under his robe. The few people had a perfect tacit understanding and all greeted the masked man in front of them. The man was so shocked that he rolled and fell into a ditch on the roadside, finally escaping death. The scum of the royal capital immediately broke out of the siege and fled. In the midst of such a busy schedule, someone unknown even sprinkled a small bag of soybeans, causing the ambushers to fall over and watch helplessly as they disappeared into the night.
