Chapter 2500 The Mysterious Forest
For the girls, this is the first time for this kind of wild camping. In the deep mountains and old forests, under the sky full of stars, while listening to the sound of the wind blowing across the mountains, while enjoying delicious food, this feeling really makes people feel a little bit better. A sense of liberation. Under the light of the fire, the sound of crackling matches and the mouth-watering aroma of barbecue are intertwined, making it appear peaceful and serene.
"No, I can't eat it...!"
While screaming, Ling raised her hands high, and then lay directly on the cushion behind her. Then she raised her head like this, looked at the starry sky in front of her, and let out a long breath.
"Ah...it's so comfortable, it's the first time I've spent the night outdoors...it looks interesting now."
"Ok……………"
Tio nodded slightly, she put down the barbecue in her hand, and looked around. Under the moonlight, you can clearly see the forests, lakes and mountains below. The starlight and the bright moon in the sky shone on the earth, bringing a cold and beautiful brilliance.
"It always feels...as if we are the only ones left in the whole world, and there is an unusual sense of loneliness."
"Woo... What you said, Tio, seems a bit scary..."
Hearing Tio's self-talk, Tita, who was holding the juice, imagined this scene, and then shivered involuntarily.
"I really like this feeling..."
After replying in a low voice, Tio looked at Fangzheng who was not far away.
"You don't need to communicate with other people, and you live alone in an isolated place. If you can spend your life like this, it's a good choice."
"Huh? But it's too lonely, and if you're alone, what should you do if something happens? I think it's better to have friends... What do you think, Ling?"
"It's enough for me to have a big brother!"
Seeing the three little girls chatting not far away, Fangzheng also chuckled, then he reached out, took out a guitar, and plucked the strings.
Soon, the melodious sound of the piano sounded.
"Are you going to Scarborough fair...Parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme..."
Listening to Fang Zheng's singing, the girls involuntarily closed their mouths, and they closed their eyes, listening to Fang Zheng's singing and the sound of the piano. Although they don't understand what language Fangzheng uses, the charm of music lies in the fact that even if they don't understand the lyrics, they can still feel the unique charm contained in it.
Soon, the song is over.
"Crack clap clap!!!"
The girls applauded one after another, even Tiou clapped their hands, and Ling jumped to Fangzheng's side excitedly.
"Wow, big brother, you are so amazing! Ling didn't even know you could sing, but why can't Ling understand what you are singing?"
"It's our language, how is it? Is it nice?"
"It's nice to hear, big brother, can you sing a few more songs, I want to hear it, and you should too."
While speaking, Ling turned her head to look at Tio and Tida. Tio nodded slightly, and Tida also stared at Fangzheng with wide eyes.
"Yes, brother Fangzheng, you sing really well, please sing a few more."
"no problem."
Fangzheng turned around, and then plucked the strings again.
Soon, the singing sounded again.
Amidst the sound of music, the night gradually became darker. When Fangzheng put down his fingers, he saw that Ling had fallen asleep on her lap at some point, and Tio and Tida were also leaning against each other, falling into a deep sleep.
Seeing this scene, Fangzheng also smiled slightly, and stroked Ling's hair.
It's going to be a fantastic night for the little girls.
Facts have proved that spending the night in the wild does have the effect of relaxing the body and mind. By the next day, Ling and Tida were already full of energy, and even Tio, who was always gloomy these days, gave people the feeling Relaxed a lot. So Fang Zheng told them to get back into the car again, and continued to drive towards the empire.
When entering the imperial checkpoint, Fangzheng's car attracted everyone's attention as expected. After all, the appearance of this car is very exaggerated—it's like you are driving a Batmobile on the street. People will not be attracted by this kind of chariot full of strange sci-fi style.
The soldiers at the Imperial Checkpoint really hesitated for a while as to whether they should let the other party go, but in the end Fangzheng still relied on the invitation letter from Ryan Falter in his hand, as well as his own identification, and from the perspective of the soldiers, Fangzheng took three People who come to travel with a little girl should not make trouble, so they finally let it go.
"Finally arrived at the empire... Where are we going next? Big Brother?"
"First of all, I plan to go to the Great Forest of Isthmia."
"What is that place?"
"A very strange place."
Fangzheng waved the "Empire Geography" in his hand to Ling.
"I heard that there are many ancient legends in that forest, and there are traces of vampires and witches... So I plan to go there and see if I can meet any interesting things. What do you think?"
"Vampire? Witch? What's that?"
"They are all legendary existences. Vampires are monsters that can suck human blood, and witches are women with mysterious power..."
"Mysterious power?"
"According to what's written above, a witch can use magic without a power guide..."
"Really?!"
Hearing this, Tida, who had glanced at the mosquito coil just now, immediately cheered up, threw herself on the back of the chair and looked at Fangzheng.
"Brother Fangzheng, is there really someone who can release magic without using a force guide?"
"This is a legend. I don't know if it is reality. How about it? Do you want to go and see?"
"Well, I'm going!"
"I'm going too, Tio, how about you?"
“……………………”
"Tio?"
"Ah, Tio fell asleep again."
"She's really sleepy."
Although Tio didn't express his opinion, after making a decision with the majority system, Fang Zheng drove towards the direction of the great forest of Isthmia. Considering that this place is in the empire, Fangzheng did not go as fast as he did in Liber Kingdom, but maintained a relatively steady speed. And along the way, they also saw a lot of new and interesting things.
As an empire with a strong national power, although guide cars are not yet popular here, there are already some guide cars driving on the road. Of course, it can be seen from their resplendent exterior decoration and the family crest on the door that these guiding cars should belong to the nobles. In addition, there are many carriages running around on the road.
This also feasted Tita and Ling's eyes. After all, Liber Kingdom had abolished the aristocratic system, so such a scene could not be seen there. But right now in the empire, they were able to see these interesting things, and it was a worthwhile trip.
The two enjoyed watching it with relish, but it was bad luck for the guide cars and carriages driving on the road.
Compared with the old-fashioned design of the current guide car, STARLIGHT itself stands out from the crowd. Driving in it feels like a black panther among a group of teddy bears. And those carriages were even more unbearable. The horses pulling the carts had never seen such a ferocious and terrifying "monster".
There are also some guide cars that want to compete with Fangzheng, but even the average speed of Fangzheng's guide cars is far faster than the old antiques that have just come out in this world. A strange black chariot "chug chug" disappeared from his vision.
The road to the Great Forest of Isthmia is not easy, perhaps because of those ancient rumors, there are few people here, the roads are full of potholes, and even some places have no roads at all. But of course, this can't be difficult for the landing vehicle specially used for planetary landing. Fangzheng drove the STARLIGHT up and down, left, right, left, right... just like that, swaying into the forest.
"Is this the Great Isthmia Forest?"
After entering the forest, Fangzheng slowed down the speed of the car, and Tita and Ling also looked out curiously against the glass. The entire forest looks a bit gloomy, but unexpectedly it is not very scary, and even gives people a very peaceful and quiet atmosphere.
"Woo..."
At the same time, Tio, who was "sleeping soundly" in the back seat, snorted softly, and then slowly opened his eyes.
"Ah, Tio, are you awake?"
"Well...we are..."
Looking at the lush trees all around, Tio's dazed expression quickly became sober.
"Where is this?"
"Isthmia Great Forest, Brother Fangzheng said that there are many interesting things here."
"Interesting stuff..."
Tio frowned slightly, looking out at the forest.
"I don't know if it's funny, but I do have a strange feeling, as if there's something here..."
"Oh? It seems that your senses are very keen."
Hearing Tiou's words, Fangzheng also nodded. In fact, the moment he entered the forest, Fangzheng immediately felt that there seemed to be some kind of enchantment in the depths of the Isthmia forest, so he opened the Drive in the car to see what's in the forest—after all, isn't self-driving travel just like traveling around?
Everyone didn't encounter any monsters along the way. After all, Fangzheng was suppressed by Kai Longwei, and none of the monsters dared to run over without opening their eyes to seek their own death. But even so, Fang Zheng stopped helplessly when the intertwined and condensed rhizomes stood in front of everyone like a wall.
"It seems that we can only go so far, and then we need to walk."
As he spoke, Fangzheng looked at the three of them.
"What? Do we move on? Or go back?"
"Of course keep going!"
Sure enough, an unsurprising choice.
