Act 117 From the Nest (3)
"How to deal with it?" Brando replied, this is indeed a problem. This wealth is so precious that it seems to give people a feeling that it is not safe to put it there.
They must continue to go deep into the forest to find the legendary Valhalla, but leaving these eggs here, even though they are in the black forest, is not reassuring.
"Little guy," Kuran said in a slow and heavy tone: "My suggestion is that you escort these eggs back to the territory immediately."
Brando shook his head.
Kuran stared at him: "What is so attractive in the forest, even more valuable than these eggs?"
Brando thought for a moment, the value of Valhalla is immeasurable, it is really more valuable than these eggs. But that doesn’t mean these eggs can be given up. He thought for a while and replied:
"I thought of a way. It's best to leave someone here."
"Retain someone?" The old man shook his head repeatedly: "Who? This is the Black Forest."
"Because this is the Black Forest, I thought that there wouldn't be too many outsiders here. There might be some monsters in the forest, but the aura of the five-headed basilisk is still here, and low-level monsters won't break in rashly."
Brando replied: "As for high-level monsters, they have their own territories and generally do not roam around easily. What's more, this is the outskirts of the Black Forest, and the five-headed snake lizard is already reaching the sky. It can be said to be the top of the food chain here."
Kuran suddenly became alert: "You told me so much, don't you have some intention?"
Brando smiled mysteriously.
"I said, I never thought that I was on the same team with you. Aren't you afraid that I would run away with these eggs?" Kuran couldn't help but asked angrily: "Of course I can't take them all away, but I can't take them all away." It’s okay to leave one or two.”
"This is the Black Forest, Master Kuran." Brando smiled cordially: "Can you go out without a Druid to lead the way?"
The old man was suddenly suffocated and raised his eyebrows: "Why, do you still want to threaten me?"
The young lord shook his head quickly, smiled and replied: "Of course not, I'm just joking with you. In fact, I have already thought about it. I plan to leave a small group of Fire Claw Lizardmen here to prevent some rash intruders. There should be enough beasts coming, not to mention things like that are just in case.”
Kuran snorted: "That's good, don't make fun of me.
brat! "But after saying that, he was still a little disappointed. Brando's behavior showed that the young man still did not believe him.
While the two were talking, suddenly there was a commotion deep in the cave that interrupted their words. Brando turned his head in shock, and then saw a young man stumbling out from that direction.
He recognized the young man, who should be the third group, from Caglis. At first, he sent the third group to go deeper into the cave to explore if there was anything inside.
Did you find something?
Brando originally guessed that the depths of the cave should be connected to an underground river, and he sent people to have a look with a foolproof mentality - maybe there were some magic materials, such as fluorescent moss or something.
However, seeing the young man's panic expression, he couldn't help but think that if there really was fluorescent moss down there - then it would have to be at least as big as a football field to allow this guy to show such an expression.
He immediately gestured to the other party to calm down, and then asked: "What's wrong?"
"Lord...Lord..." The young man shouted out of breath: "Captain Caglis asked you, you'd better come and see for yourself..."
Brando and Curran looked at each other, what is that guy Caglis doing?
But he still nodded, motioning for the other party to lead the way, and then followed with the others. After leaving the five-headed basilisk's lair, the underground cave began to become narrow and elongated. In the darkness, one could barely see that the surrounding walls were smooth, and there were indeed signs of water washing.
But those traces are quite old.
Brando paid attention to the ground and the walls on both sides, and confirmed that there were no traces of any creatures, at most some small footprints - they should be left by small rodents such as mice, and there was no threat.
There were no clues on the top of the cave that he was familiar with, such as tentacle monsters, mutant bats or garrote monsters that liked to lurk among stalactites.
They walked along the past underground river for several minutes, and a fire appeared in front of them. Under the fire, Brando saw Caglis and four other young people - because Melia and the other half of the third group The team members were still on the ground. In fact, Caglis set off with only half of the team.
Of course, even so, their group is still the most outstanding among this group of young people, so Brando can safely hand over the most dangerous work to them.
When Brando arrived, Caglis and others were taking a rest by the torch. When they saw their lord appearing, they immediately stood up and saluted:
"Lord!" Sir Mintai's lawless young son rubbed his hands with a troubled expression on his face: "We have discovered a situation that we cannot handle."
"A situation that can't be handled?" Brando was stunned. He stopped and asked, "What's the situation?"
"How should I put it..." Caglis's expression was extremely strange: "It can't be described in words."
Brando's expression made him wonder what kind of extraordinary thing it would take to make this fearless young man look like he had seen the sky fall with his own eyes.
But he thought this guy had better not be joking with him, otherwise he would definitely know the price of this joke.
Of course, he also had another absurd idea - he couldn't help but wonder if it was really a piece of fluorescent moss the size of a football field?
"Anyway, my lord, please come and take a look." Caglis coughed and replied.
Then he stepped aside and stretched out his hand to guide Brando.
Brando nodded, and then followed the other person - there seemed to be the exit of this underground tunnel, and the young lord saw a light at the exit.
He was stunned and thought, is it really fluorescent moss?
But when he walked to the exit, he was stunned. He opened his mouth slightly, but no sound came out.
Or it should be said that petrification is more appropriate, because a brilliant brilliance shone into Brando's eyes, and like a frightening magic light, it cast a body-holding technique to make him motionless.
That's a crystal mine.
It is a magical crystal mine that can be seen underground here.
…
Fir collar——
Brando seems to have really figured out the old knight's plan. In the week since he left for the Black Forest, the entire south of Tonigel has been calm, and there seems to be no atmosphere of the upcoming war at all.
Of course, life was not so easy compared to the north. Tajib and his clan tasted the sweetness of looting, so they attacked even more vigorously.
Although they were ambushed by the old knight once or twice, in most cases it still made all the troops stationed in Pallas feel miserable.
On the other side, in Fir City, this day Ciel met the forging master Belu. In fact, after Antitina left, these two were responsible for almost all administrative and construction matters in the territory.
As for the business lady, after sorting out and redrawing an account, she became idle. But as Brando expected, she seemed unusually law-abiding, except for running to a fixed position in the bar every day and sitting there from the afternoon until after the sun went down——
According to her, this is a place where Brando used to come, and she wants to occupy a place for Brando.
Others would naturally turn a blind eye to such an approach. As long as the eldest lady didn't demolish Fir City, it would be a blessing.
Of course, for Beilu, it doesn't matter even if she demolishes Fir City, as long as his forging workshop is fine. On this day, he squatted on the steps outside the factory as usual, took out his pipe and tried to light it, but he soon discovered that no matter how hard he tried, none of the sparks he fired could fall into the pipe.
There was even one that rolled around the edge of the pipe three times before going out.
This is obviously not normal.
So the old man raised his head and saw Charles standing not far away with a smile in a light purple robe. He snorted and whispered: "Damn wizard!"
But he didn't dare to say this out loud. He dared to contradict Brando face to face, but wizards are mysterious guys. God knows if they would cast a spell on you while you were sleeping?
Belu raised his head and muttered: "Okay, Lord Charles, why are you here to come to me with this old bone again? Or are you just here to play with me, a poor old man?"
"You don't dare," Ciel quickly shrugged, "I'm here to discuss something with you, Master."
"What's up?"
"The Lord gave me an order."
"Huh?" Bolu probably knew that the young wizard had some special ways to contact the lord.
"I mean -" Charles thought for a moment and decided to state the matter in a more tactful way, so as not to frighten the old man when he opened his mouth: "Master Belu, do you think if we want to open up a road?" What are the chances that the road will enter the black forest?”
"Open a road?" Beilu was stunned: "I understand, you want to get some resources from the Black Forest border? It's a bit troublesome. The investment may not make ends meet. There are no good things on the Black Forest border, but it is difficult to maintain such a road. It’s a lot to put in.”
He thought for a moment: "I'm afraid Tony Geer can't support it."
"What if it's a death order?" Charles asked again.
"He's crazy!" Boru suddenly realized that the wizard was that person's retinue, and he quickly changed his mind: "Then it depends on how deep he wants to go into the dark forest. I think the distance of one or two days should be not very big."
"What the lord means," Ciel replied with a smile, "is at least a week's journey."
"Impossible!" (To be continued, if you want to know what happened, please log in, there are more chapters, support the author, and support genuine reading!)
