Chapter 503 Chapter 502 For Whom?
When Lester fished Aatrox out of the swamp, Aatrox had already lost his voice. This situation made Lester suddenly uncomfortable, but Lester did not Concerned about this matter, I wiped it and plugged Aatrox directly.
It's always good to keep Aatrox quiet, but now Lester has bigger problems to deal with.
Pieces of mosquitoes formed a curtain wall and poured in overwhelmingly. In the swamp, leeches and locusts crazily attached to their bodies. There were also some brightly colored insects and poisonous toads lying on dead wood branches and skeletons and squawking loudly. In the rainforest swamp, every inch of land is the best vampire, microbes and hunters will use the shortest time to leave no bones left.
Stopping, Lester lit the small insect repellent incense burner that he carried with him. The incense burner was blended with the herbs that Lester had prepared in advance. Although Lester was not afraid of being bitten, the mosquitoes had already become a hindrance. Naturally, he had to find a way to get rid of them. .
When the insect repellent in the incense burner showed its effect, Lester could finally see the road ahead and move on.
There is no doubt that the more inaccessible the place, the more likely the border of Ixtar is.
The stars are moving, the sun and the moon are falling, Lester looks up, and there are a few fence-like beams of light on the canopy of the forest. This is already the thirty-fifth day in the rainforest.
The number of human bones in front is gradually increasing. Judging from the undecomposed clothing, most of them are the remains of Shurima people. There are no open wounds. Most of them should have died in the harsh natural environment. For Leicester Speaking, he prefers to see man-made wounds.
In the extremely depressed swamp, Lester finally saw the shore.
After leaving the green hell-like swamp, Leicester set foot on land again.
At the same time, Lester also saw a pair of vigilant eyes hidden in the dense forest.
"I have no ill intentions."
Lester didn't intend to hide anything, and went straight to the pretty good guy who was camouflaging on the tree. If he hadn't exposed his hostile aura, Lester might not have seen a living person in the canopy. There is no doubt that this is an excellent jungle hunter.
"Outsiders, stop!"
The warning sound was followed by the sound of an arrow.
With a sound of '咻', the poisoned arrow brushed Lester's right foot and stuck it on the ground. Lester stopped and spread his hands to indicate that he was not threatening.
"It seems that you can understand Shurima. For the sake of my passing through the swamp, why not come down and have a chat. I still yearn for Ixtar."
"The people of Nasiana (Note: Nasiana in Ixtar language represents the outside world outside Ixtar, or the other world) are all, polluted by the void, demons!"
The man's voice was full of hostility, and he seemed unwilling to give in. Lester didn't care about the man's attitude and said seriously.
"Do you really believe this? I think since you can appear here instead of being locked up in an isolated country by the elders, you must understand part of the truth that Yun Tal concealed. Don't deceive yourself and others. The outside world It is no different from yours here, the void did not destroy the world, it has already been sealed in Icacia by the Ascendant.
If you are willing to listen to outside stories and make friends outside, just put down the bow and arrow in your hand and let us have a good talk. One more friend is better than one more enemy, isn't it? "
The man was very surprised when he heard Lester tell about Yun Tal. After thinking about it for a while, the man returned to the ground through the hanging vines from the crown of the tree, and put away his bow and arrow.
"Doyle, Arie the Ranger."
The man pointed to himself, then to Lester.
"your name?"
"Lester, a wandering mage."
With a wry smile, Lester shook the condensed mud on his clothes. His current appearance is probably not much better than that of a beggar.
"Doyle, I need a shower, do you have any good advice?"
Remembering the name Lester in his heart, he glanced at the scabbard of the big sword behind Lester again, and Doyle turned around with a three-pointed eye.
"follow me."
Following Doyle and continuing to walk into the dense forest, Lester, who observed the environment all the way, probably understood the natural defense line built by Ixtar. Speaking of which, he still walked a long way. This swamp full of death is The barriers that even the Ixtalians cannot pass through, together with the shady jungle in the west and the vine wall controlled by elemental magic in the north, form a deadly national border. I am afraid that only a small part of the non-swamp area is the Ixtar. Taal's road to the outside world.
Having never looked down on Ixtar from the sky, Lester guessed that Ixtar might have a unique way to hide and cover himself, otherwise it would be easy to spot Ixtar's man-made buildings from the sky.
When he came to a stream, knowing that Doyle was a man, Lester didn't shy away from anything, took off his clothes a few times, jumped into the stream and began to take a bath.
The mud clods were quickly washed away, and Lester regained his appearance before entering the rainforest, and washed his clothes directly again.
Doyle glanced at him in disgust, but his eyes were fixed on Lester, and it was difficult to move away. He never thought that the proportion of human body could reach such a perfect level.
It's like some kind of undiscovered axiom of the beginning of the Yuan Dynasty...
If Lester knew what Doyle was thinking, he wouldn't mind explaining to Doyle what the golden ratio is, but at this moment he only felt that someone had taken a fancy to his backyard flower.
"Your body is beautiful and perfect."
He couldn't help saying words of praise, and it wasn't until Doyle said that he realized that his behavior was a bit disrespectful.
"Thank you. This body is really rare. The only regret is that it only likes women."
Not quite understanding Lester's attitude, Doyle thought for a while and said.
"You wait, I'll get you clothes."
Watching Doyle disappear into the jungle, Lester was also a little funny about his misunderstanding.
It seems that although Ixtal chose to close the country, the people living here are still very simple and sincere.
After drying the clothes on the big rocks, Lester lay down again on the cobblestones of the stream, and the icy cold running water streaked across his body, completely freeing Lester from the torment of the swamp.
Closing his eyes, Lester enjoyed a moment of tranquility. Ever since he swallowed the void pearl, he gained the ability to breathe underwater, so Lester could sleep in water without ice jade.
"Plop~"
The sound of splashing water echoed in my ears, followed by the sound of splashing water.
Thinking it was Doyle who came back, Lester opened his eyes and saw a cute little face like a flower.
The girl has a pair of lizard-like bright golden eyes, and the big eyes with natural purple eyeliner appear on the innocent face with perfect proportions like anime characters, exuding a curious and worried look.
Blue-purple hair hangs down on her plump chest, and she wears a very plain and simple cloth that shows the allure of Victoria's Secret underwear. A seductive lizard's long tail droops in the water, just touching her Toes, cold and soft.
"Scared~"
After meeting the man's eyes, the frightened strange girl took a few steps back, instinctively simulating the man's posture and thoughts through the brief touch just now and judging the danger based on this, Shuma of the Misttail tribe began to undergo wonderful changes, Witnessed by Lester, the girl transformed into another wide-eyed 'Lester' in the form of scintillation fluid.
As if the part of the vastaya's ability was activated, Lester also became a part of the shared spiritual channel and heard the voice of the Misttail girl.
【He's awake? He seems to be fine, why is he lying in the water? What a weird human being~ Wait, he's worried about me? Don't you have those strange and scary thoughts? 】
'Lester' with his mouth closed was talking in his inner channel while stroking 'his own' chest muscles. Questions followed.
Lester witnessed the girl's change through the water curtain,
The scene in front of him made Lester think of Nicole in the League of Legends. Nicole is the vastaya of the Misttail tribe. The Misttail tribe can perform soul mimicry transformation through contact. Lester understood that this ability was born out of the vastaya soul-transforming method, and it was considered a unique innate ability of the Misttail tribe.
Perhaps one of Lot's Greek descendants is the Misttail?
There is no doubt that the alien girl in front of her is the mysterious vastaya Misttail tribe.
There was a sound of "russling" in the distance, and the "Lester" transformed by the girl was stunned, and then changed into a blue bird with spread wings and left in the blink of an eye. Lester could no longer listen to the girl's heart.
Doyle got out of the dense forest, just in time to see Lester sitting up from the stream, and just in time to see Mount Everest who was furious.
The two looked at each other and turned their heads in embarrassment. Doyle took a half step back to make the atmosphere more subtle.
"Here, clothes, I'll wait for you over there."
Doyle always felt that he was in a very dangerous situation, while Lester stood up with a wry smile.
"Uh, thanks."
After taking the simple white robe, Doyle didn't come back until Lester dried his body and put on the clothes, and the two sat by the stream.
"Lester, I want to know why you are here."
When he said this, Doyle's body felt cold.
As the patroller Arie who guards the border, Doyle will naturally not allow anyone with unknown intentions to enter Ixtar casually. Stur sent the land of Ixtar.
"I heard that Ixtar is a country that advocates magic. I came here for elemental magic and axiom magic. For the sake of fairness, I will teach rune magic and natural magic to some Ixtar people who have passed the trial."
Doyle's face was startled, he stood up and looked at Lester again, but he couldn't feel the slightest mana fluctuation, and his face couldn't help but change.
"You are, liar, you are not at all, mage! But you say, to trade, magic?"
"I'm a mage, but I can't cast spells right now."
Picking up a wooden branch, Lester drew a few magic symbols on the ground with disdain.
"Doyle, I think you should use your brain too much. This kind of deception is meaningless. I think I know better than you the consequences of being exposed. Don't treat me as a fool, and don't let yourself be a fool. I have no benefit, the reason why I have no mana is only because I have experienced some special things, which does not affect my teaching of magic."
Frowning and sitting down again, staring at the esoteric symbols on the ground, Doyle knew that Lester was telling the truth. If Lester entered Ixtar by deception, as long as two It's easy for a magic apprentice to expose the deception, not to mention that there is the Archmage Ixtali guarding the gate, who can't stand the test at all.
"If this is the case, maybe you can enter the city of Ixocan (Note: Ixaucan is the capital of the king of Ixtar), but I need to talk to Yun Alai (Note: Yun Alai For the royal family of Ixtar), report."
"Of course no problem, you can find me a temporary place to live, and I will live there first, and you will come to me after discussing with your Yun Alai."
"good."
Doyle, who didn't dare to neglect, took Lester to the small tree house of the ranger where he lived, and settled Lester down.
It was getting dark, and the two returned to the ground to light a bonfire. As the host, Doyle took out the fruit wine he had collected and roasted a jungle deer.
Tearing off a piece of venison leg and putting it in his mouth, Doyle glanced at Lester who was feasting, and gestured his fingers back and forth. It took a while for Lester to understand that he wanted to express the number 'fifteen'.
"I'll look for it tomorrow, Yun Alai, you stay here first, at most... this number of days, I will come back and tell you Yun Alai's decision, if Yun Alai disagrees with you, then I have nothing to do. "
"Okay, I didn't come here to fight with you Ixtars. If you don't want me to come in, I won't go in."
After wiping his mouth, Lester looked up at the crown of the tree, where a white-faced owl was looking at him with its head tilted.
Lester smiled.
If you can't go to Ixtar, it seems good to see the situation of the Misttail tribe.
Following Lester's gaze, Doyle also found the white-faced owl on the canopy, and couldn't help but wonder why there was a white-faced owl here.
"Here, it's rare. This kind of white-faced owl, most of them, are further south."
"Yeah, a rare little guy."
After waving friendlyly to the white-faced owl, Lester took the initiative to show the roast venison in his hand to the white-faced owl, and called softly.
To Doyle's surprise, the white-faced owl on the canopy, which has always been dismissive of humans, flapped its wings and landed beside Lester, took the kebab handed by Lester with its mouth, and tilted its head I took a bite.
"Lester, you're very, very special."
Doyle, with complex eyes, always felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't find any faults in the scene of harmony between humans and animals. On the contrary, it seemed that Lester was friendly and kind, which made him a little happy.
A person who is kind to nature and small animals is hardly a bad person, of course, with certain exceptions.
"I'm really special, I can't deny that, but you're leaving tomorrow, so you're going to tell me this tonight? Don't you want to hear stories from the outside world?"
Stared at by the handsome Lester, Doyle's heart skipped a beat suddenly, and he unnaturally turned his gaze away from the man's soft gaze, recalling the scene by the creek again.
He found that the man in front of him was indeed very attractive, especially those deep black eyes like abysses, which made it hard for people to look away.
It would have been better if it wasn't for Nantong.
In fact, until now Doyle does not know whether the reason for the appearance of Mount Everest is himself.
"I think, I have never been out, please tell me about the outside world."
The bonfire was crackling and burning, and the firewood Doyle chose were all dry, flame-resistant, smokeless wood. Obviously, Doyle had prepared it long ago.
One person and one owl surrounded the fire, listening to the other world in the mouth of the man in the cheerful jungle night.
"Icacia, the place where the void invaded, was sealed by the Ascended Legion of the Shurima Empire. After that, the terrible Darkin War and Rune War broke out on the mainland. The right decision, the outside is indeed very dangerous, but there are many beautiful things in the danger, and you have missed these."
Caressing the small head of the white-faced owl, Lester smiled gently, and Doyle also extended his hand, but seeing the white-faced owl walked around to the other side with small, arrogant steps, Doyle couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.
"There used to be an angel who fell into the mortal world on Mount Targon. She had a single horn and took care of a group of vastaya mermaids living on the coast on the west side of Mount Targon. Until one day, she left Mount Targon... ..."
Under the curious eyes of the scops owl and Doyle, Lester closed his mouth.
"Why is she leaving, that, giant stick?"
After getting the desired question from Doyle's mouth, Lester smiled.
"Because she wanted to save me. In the northern border of Valoran, on the polar ice field named Freljord, at that time, I was imprisoned by another ruthless woman covered in ice..."
