Chapter 0390 Magic Forest
Black forest.
This is a terrible name filled with many taboos in the Wizarding Continent.
To most ordinary people, this is a name that represents death and chaos. If you look at the development history of the Wizarding Continent, you will find countless tragic and tragic examples.
In the year 379 of the Wizarding Calendar, in a small human mountain village on the western border of the Sand Tallinn region, more than 120 people in the village disappeared without a trace overnight. According to the wizard's investigation, traces of the mind flayer's activities were found in the village...
In the 72nd year of the Wizarding Calendar, in the Nalan area within the territory of the Northland Witch, a newly formed human settlement was attacked by a tide of beasts. In three days, more than 20,000 citizens died, and countless people were injured or missing...
In 22765 of the Wizarding Calendar, the Silver Alliance formed the 7th Constructed Legion and expanded into the depths of the Black Forest. They suffered a terrible counterattack by monsters and suffered heavy casualties...
…
…
Looking through these histories, all human beings will naturally have a natural awe of the Black Forest.
This place is not only their inexhaustible treasure house of resources, but it is also the source of turmoil where terrifying monsters gather.
This kind of life of living next to monsters, people are on tenterhooks day and night, not only worried about the sudden outbreak of a large-scale beast tide, but also worried about those terrifying monsters escaping from the forest... This kind of life is difficult for people who have not experienced it personally. It's simply unimaginable.
Therefore, the people of Songta Town are almost trapped here, and they dare not easily step out of the thick village wall. Even if you go to the nearby mountains and forests to collect some firewood during the day, you still need to work together in groups. As for the residents of the town, the longest they have lived there is only five years.
As for the old residents who came to Songta Town in the early days, they have been gradually swallowed up by the surrounding forests.
Among the outsiders gathered in Songta Town, the largest number were mercenaries and adventurers who came to make a living, as well as some wizard apprentices who came to look for materials.
They accepted employment and frequently appeared in the nearby mountains and forests for some gold coins and magic crystals. Either to find a special kind of magical plant, or to capture a certain kind of delicious monster, or to explore a certain area... In short, the trophies they exchanged with their blood and lives will eventually appear in a certain area. On a wizard's experimental bench or dining table.
…………
Early in the morning, the team set out.
After breaking through the pre-dawn mist and passing through the narrow village gate of Songta Town, everyone wrapped themselves in thick cloaks and cloaks and silently slipped into the forest.
When we first entered the forest, it was obviously still a normal forest.
A huge tawny cliff stands quietly among a lush and vast sea of trees. Like a proud king inspecting his subjects, the cliff is alone in the depths of the sea of green trees, surrounded by wisps of white clouds.
The top of the cliff is flat and covered with dark brown moss.
The breeze blew, the forest sea was turbulent, and there were bursts of rushing sounds. A group of blue birds took off from the woods and soared into the distance.
Walking through such a sea of forests, everything you see is emerald green, green flowers, green grass, green vines and gray tree trunks...
Vitality, a thin burst of vitality is refreshing!
The light in the quiet and dark jungle is not bright, and there are branches and vines and shrubs growing randomly everywhere. It is almost impossible to walk through such a jungle without a "guide" who is familiar with the terrain.
Luo Wei, who was employed as a sword and shield warrior, has now temporarily changed his profession to a scavenger. With the round shield behind his back, he wields a sharp hatchet to cut off the obstructing vines and thorns, and barely clears a path in the mountain forest that can provide food for the people. The 'channel' where people walk sideways, moving forward step by step with difficulty.
When walking in the primeval forest, the soft and exquisite cloth robes that wizards usually like to wear become inappropriate. Overhanging branches and thorny thorns can easily tear their clothes. Therefore, even wizards and apprentices who do not need to use their hands can only put a thick and dense cloak or cape on the outside of the cloth robe, so as to prevent the legs of the robe from being hung up and causing a mess on the face.
Moreover, these wizards who usually hide in tall witch towers and tightly protected laboratories no longer have their usual arrogance and mysterious wisdom. Even an ordinary gentle slope may become a huge problem that blocks their progress.
Someone above dropped the rattan and pulled it upwards, while someone below pushed the waist and butt upwards. Only the Gargamel wizard who lacked physical exercise could climb up these rocks or short cliffs less than two or three meters with difficulty.
On the contrary, Greem, who was also a wizard, showed a strong physique that was not weaker than Lovi's. Not only can he walk through mountains and rivers as if he were walking on flat ground, but he can also imitate the level 3 thief Rhodes and jump up even ordinary short cliffs by pulling on a cane and stepping on it in twos and twos.
This made Gargamel stare at his burly and strong figure more than once and drool!
To be honest, any newly promoted wizard has a strong body like a warrior, an agile figure like a thief, and quick reactions like an archer. However, due to years of lack of exercise and the erosion of a large amount of toxic and harmful witchcraft materials, there are only a handful of wizards who can maintain this physical advantage.
So when he saw Greem's amazing physical fitness, Gargamel not only didn't think anything strange about him, but instead showed a pensive and nostalgic look from time to time.
Once upon a time, he had such an outstanding body!
At that time, he could have fun every night and fight every day... Unfortunately, with the passage of time and the erosion of witchcraft energy, all this has become a thing of the past. And now he is just an old man who is not much better looking than a ghost!
However, the powerful witchcraft power still makes him a terrible wizard that the world awes. Once he lets go and shows his strengths, it will only take a few seconds to destroy a pine cone town.
Unfortunately, such power is a bit useless in the Black Forest!
With the means of wizards, you can summon some flying servants to avoid this annoying and troublesome jungle journey, and then fly freely over the Black Forest.
But such an idea is just a thought, but it cannot be implemented, otherwise the end will definitely be a miserable death!
The idea of using means to fly over the Black Forest is indeed a good idea, but how to locate it has become the biggest problem.
Those fools who have never flown into the sky will never experience the pain of getting lost.
Flying in the blue sky, with rolling forests and mountains at your feet, you may be able to identify the direction, but it is impossible to find your destination. The Black Forest stretches for tens of thousands of miles or hundreds of thousands of miles. It is a joke to find a landmark to confirm the location in a forest that rises and falls with the wind.
The unique high magic environment in the Black Forest also makes many detection or prophecy witchcraft seem plausible. The prophecy wand does not work well here, and even often takes you directly to the lair of a terrifying monster.
And flying in the sky is so cool, it is easy to become a target of powerful monsters.
The monsters in the Black Forest have a strong sense of territory. If you sneak past the edge of its territory quietly, it will not sense it. But if you are courting death and have to fly over their heads...
Using your dry bones to decorate their caves may be your only fate!
The ten miles of forest ahead is just a small test of the subsequent difficult journey.
As they go deeper and deeper, the green in the forest gradually becomes deep and dark. Once the ten-mile border is passed, you can see a strange world that is different from the previous one.
Looking up, the sky above the Black Forest is full of dark tree canopies that cover the sky, like a night sky full of stars.
The layers of black leaves cover the clear sky outside, forming the deepest and darkest night. And the flickering is the light blue fluorescence like fireflies that can be seen everywhere in the forest. It is them that add a strange and beautiful beauty to the "night sky" here.
In addition to such a beautiful "night sky" scenery, the environment of the Black Forest is also particularly elegant.
The forest is full of fragrant flowers, and the ground in the entire forest is covered with ankle-deep green grass everywhere. Stepping on it is like stepping on a fine velvet carpet, so soft that people want to lie on it and roll around.
To be honest, each Black Forest has a completely different style and tone.
If the Black Forest that they had passed through before going to the North was full of gloom, darkness and chaos, then the Black Forest in front of them was full of magic, strangeness and magnificence.
Grimm and his party seemed to have suddenly entered a magical forest, which was filled with magic and beauty.
Many of the people present were seeing such a fantastic and beautiful scenery for the first time, and they were stunned for a while. And the Lovi people who had been here for many years also straightened up, wiped the sweat from their foreheads, and opened their hearts to appreciate the bizarre beauty here.
Grimm silently scanned everything in front of him, and the elemental vision presented another completely different world.
In the dim jungle, strands of magic energy flowed.
As inexhaustible magic nutrients, they nourished and expanded the world in front of them bit by bit.
In Grimm's vision, every blade of grass, every flower and every bird here were soaked with elemental particles representing magic energy.
Red is fire, blue is wind, brown is earth, green is wood, blue is water, purple is soul... Layer by layer, piece by piece, pile by pile, the rich magic energy immerses the whole forest in the magic ocean.
In such an environment, as long as it is not an ignorant stone, it is possible to breed enough intelligence and give birth to intelligent life that can rival wizards...
The Black Forest, in fact, seriously speaking, should be called the Magic Forest! chapter;
