819 New Map, New enemy...and that Girl
Medieval forests are undeveloped natural areas, not only green and environmentally friendly, but also because people in this era do not have high material requirements, and there are very few creatures who are used to delicacies from mountains and seas, empty-headed, and only want to eat golden monkeys today and giant pandas tomorrow. Therefore, animals that cannot be seen in the 21st century abound here.
The number of ferocious birds and beasts determines whether a forest's living environment is harsh or not. Leaving aside the forests close to humans, at least, the ancient forests far away from human settlements are definitely quite harsh. Even in the daytime, you will be attacked by fierce beasts at any time, which is extremely terrifying, but at night it is terrifying.
And you have to know that this is not the real world, but a magical world. Apart from the general ferocious birds and beasts, the more dangerous ones are magical creatures!
In the middle of the night, with the full moon hanging in the middle, in a densely packed forest, countless pairs of bloodthirsty red and dark green eyes lined up in a circle, hidden behind the lush bushes, and made low and terrifying sounds from time to time. Every pair of terrifying eyes undoubtedly represented a terrifying beast. Just judging from the number of eyes, there were at least nearly a hundred of them.
And there is only one direction these eyes are looking at, and that is a house in the middle of the woods.
If a person comes at this time, he will probably lose his eyesight. How can there be a house in this ancient forest? And it still looks quite luxurious, brightly lit, how could it be made?
That house, which apparently only existed in the 21st century, would definitely not be built by people of this era, but that doesn't mean it won't appear. As long as there is a simple capsule of Chaolingyin brand, it is not surprising that there will be a magic horse.
In the house, Lin Luo sat leisurely on the sofa, listening to the low roar of the ferocious beast outside as music, he casually picked out the air around him, and a few things appeared in his hand, and he threw them at the two people on the opposite side.
Sitting opposite him were Artoria and Bedivere, but their expressions were not as calm as Lin Luo, but more vigilant. Lin Luo may not care about the fierce beasts outside, but they really can't ignore them, because they are very aware of how terrifying the fierce beasts outside are. Even if they are knights of the round table, if they are surrounded by nearly a hundred fierce beasts, they may die at the mouth of the beasts if they are not careful.
Of course, now those ferocious beasts were just roaring there, but they didn't rush over, which made them feel at ease.
Seeing something thrown by Lin Luo, they subconsciously stretched out their hands to catch it, only to see that it turned out to be a square object the size of half a palm, and they didn't know what it was. Artoria asked instinctively, "What is this?"
"Mobile phone." Lin Luo is very calm, isn't he, isn't that square a mobile phone.
"Shouji?" Artoria didn't know what it was, and looked it up and down with a curious face, and then asked, "Is it delicious?"
"Pfft!" Lin Luo couldn't calm down this time, especially seeing that the other party seemed to be stuffing the phone into his mouth, and said quickly, "This is not for you to eat, but for us to talk."
"This thing can still talk?" Not to mention Artoria, the dumb king, was surprised, even Bedivere couldn't help asking.
"Alas..." Lin Luo sighed heavily, feeling quite powerless, and finally had no choice but to teach the two uncivilized savages about mobile phones by hand. After half an hour, the king and the knight finally learned a new skill - the mastery of mobile phones.
However, Lin Luo was as tired as a dead dog. He felt that half an hour was far more strenuous than fighting fierce beasts during the day.
It was not without reason that Lin Luo would give them mobile phones. It had been three days since they entered the forest, and they thought it would take a little longer to find a holy lake at most, and it would not be too dangerous, but Lin Luo didn't know it was a big mistake until he entered.
There are all kinds of fierce beasts living here, tigers, leopards and lions? No, these ferocious felines in the 21st century are only one level higher than rabbits here, and are almost at the bottom of the food chain. It’s hard to see them at all. Lin Luo was lucky enough to see a tiger, but the other tiger’s eyes hadn’t grown mighty, and the tiger’s body hadn’t had a huge shock before it was bitten off its head by a more terrifying monster... It’s even worse than the senior sister.
Then, Lin Luo fought the monster for 30 rounds. Although he finally killed it, he found that the opponent turned out to be a bastard who couldn't even be called the Four Heavenly Kings... He thought that the monster was at least one of the nine guardians.
An ordinary monster already has the fighting power of an ordinary apprentice knight, so it is not difficult to imagine how powerful a more advanced one would be. And during the daytime today, Lin Luo and the others finally encountered the higher creatures in this forest... eighteen double-headed magic dogs!
These two-headed demon dogs are not only bloodthirsty and ferocious, but also have combat power comparable to some knights of the round table. Even with their strength, they were caught off guard. What's even more frightening is that a few more powerful three-headed hellhounds came in, and under the attack from front and back, their situation was even more difficult. Although they narrowly escaped in the end, the two people separated and did not reunite until several hours later.
It is precisely because of this experience that Lin Luo gave them mobile phones so that they could contact each other when similar things happened again... Although Artoria and Li Huazuo had a relationship with him because they were hosts, Bedivere and Cirno did not.
As for his mobile phone, it is also specially made with super ringtones, it does not need the Internet at all, and it also has a positioning system. In addition, this house is not ordinary. Although it cannot be said to be indestructible, at least ordinary missiles are absolutely indestructible... The things made by Chaolingyin are not only beautiful and gorgeous, but more importantly, they are practical, and most of them are used in battle. Otherwise, how can a family have a super ring tone, such as a treasure.
Holding the mobile phone they had just learned how to use, both the king and the knight were extremely surprised. They felt more and more that Lin Luo was not a magician, but a legend. Not to mention these two mobile phones, just this big house and all kinds of weird furniture in the house are things they have never heard or seen before.
Of course, they don't know how to use it either, so the two of them can only sit here obediently, instead of happily playing games like Li Huazuo and Qi Lunuo.
"It seems that the test that Merlin gave us this time is really strict." Although Lin Luo looked relaxed on the outside, he was dignified in his heart. Judging from the sensing distance between the holy sword and the holy lake, they only walked one-tenth of the way, but they have already encountered such a terrifying enemy, and the troubles they will encounter next will probably not be small.
"Yeah, we have never seen the monsters we encountered these days before." Bedivere also had lingering fears. In the past, on the battlefield, no matter what kind of enemy she encountered, she would not be defeated. Many people said that she was braver than men, and she herself thought so, but after two days of fighting today, she realized that she was actually still very weak.
"Anyway, since we have already started this trip, we will definitely come to the end!" Artoria stood up from the sofa, looked at the beast in the night through the window, there was no fear in her eyes, only firm determination and courage.
Lin Luo looked at her expression and smiled slightly.
It has not yet reached the point where they are unable to move forward, but if the road ahead becomes more difficult, then he has no choice but to call for reinforcements.
...The same forest, but in two different directions, under the same night, a dozen people sat around the fire... These people were men and women, of different ages, some in their twenties, some in their forties or fifties, but they all wore uniform black clothes—the church uniform.
Obviously, they are all people who belong to the church.
Although they don't have a high-tech house like Lin Luo's, they can avoid the attacks of fierce beasts when they are resting, but they just sit here, but they will not encounter fierce beasts either... because they have a barrier.
Within a few hundred meters, the defensive enchantment was opened, and even ferocious beasts couldn't get in.
"Hmph, that old guy Merlin really knows how to choose a good place, and he actually lives in seclusion here, so we can find it easily." A rather big and strong man said loudly while eating.
"That is, he suffered a catastrophe back then, and his strength has regressed a lot. We know that we will definitely not give up such a good opportunity. If we want to survive, we naturally have to find a good place to hide." The speaker was a curly-haired woman in her thirties. Then she sneered, "But now that we know his lair, and the Pope has counted him at the end of his life, it may be difficult for him to survive."
"I don't understand. Since the old guy is about to die, why do we need our combat troops to deal with him?" The strong man was puzzled.
"Because he is Merlin." A middle-aged man sitting in the middle suddenly said in a deep voice.
He is undoubtedly the leader, and although his words are small, they carry a lot of weight. As soon as he opened his mouth, the man and the woman stopped talking immediately, and they understood why... Merlin is a magician, and even more so, a legend.
After all, it is not so easy for a magician to die.
"Hey, rookie, why don't you talk?" The strong man from before probably liked to talk a lot, so he was silent for a moment, and then spoke again, but this time he was asking a girl who was sitting on a rock more than ten meters away from them, and his tone was quite unpleasant.
The girl has long pink hair, holding a Taidao, and the clothes on her body are somewhat different from those of those people. She closed her eyes and sat there cross-legged. As if sensing the strong man's gaze, the girl opened her eyes, revealing yellow-green pupils, and an inexplicable smile flickered at the corner of her mouth.
"You can eat indiscriminately, but you can't talk indiscriminately. I never planned to join your church. I'm not a newcomer. If I try to make connections casually, I will be very troubled."
Although the girl was smiling, she gave people a very cunning feeling. Obviously, she was a bit dark-bellied.
