Chapter 38 Lane is on his way here on horseback
Chapter 38 At this time, Lann was on the way on horseback.
They passed through a meadow dotted with sparse trees, passed through several misty, winding valleys, and crossed wide forest meadows and dilapidated and withered forests.
Dunka continued to use his familiarity with the forest to find traces of Ciri and point out the direction for Lan.
The petite dryad huddled in Lan En's arms, her almost naked upper body pressed against Lan En's chest. Fortunately, Lan En was wearing full plate armor, so he couldn't feel anything.
If it were any other person who was not so decent, he would have become distracted by this.
Suddenly, a skylark flew over here.
"Stop!" Dunka said to Lan immediately after seeing Skylark.
The skylark stopped on Dunka's wrist and chirped for a while. Dunka kept nodding, as if communicating with the other party.
After a long time, Dunka turned to Lan and said, "We found your princess."
…………
The clever Shiri found that she was not clever enough because she did not run away in the end.
After all, human beings' understanding of tree spirits is still extremely limited.
The whole forest is helping her! God knows creatures like dryads can communicate with animals. The book doesn't mention this!
Dunka and the black-haired dryad began to communicate in a low-pitched tone. This is the dialect of the dryads. Not many dryads in the entire race can communicate with humans normally. Only guerrillas like Dunka and the others.
Only then can the team learn the lingua franca.
They left the boundary of the forest of giant trees, and Black Wind, who was extremely energetic, ran wildly for another two quarters of an hour, and once again entered the humid beech forest in the canyon.
The dryad's control over the forest is really extraordinary. When Brian woke up the next morning and found that Ciri was missing, he immediately started chasing her. Her tracking method was something Ciri had never heard of.
Black Wind ran even more joyfully. It seemed to feel something and knew that it was very close to its goal.
This is also the reason why more and more dryads are surrounding her.
Lan took off his helmet: "I understand, then I'll ask you to control the black wind."
Fortunately, after going round and round, everything is back on track.
So the two Lan's targets turned to Duane Kanal.
Dryad Dunka obtained this information from the mouth of Skylark and relayed to Lan what happened to Ciri during this period.
Lan took a deep breath: "Goodbye, Ms. Dunka."
Lann saw several larger buildings on the ground: huts made of intertwined branches, with roofs covered with leaves. He could feel the existence of life in those buildings, but there was no shadow of the tree spirit.
Lan looked over and saw a sinkhole here, completely covered by a vast green canopy. Mist and steam rose from the soil, rocks and hot springs.
Dunka dismounted at the entrance and knelt on the ground, lowered his head and prayed.
This kind of tree belongs to the kind of tree that you can tell is a fantasy forest at a glance. It is very "natural" and even "magic".
Of course, this deceptive effect may also come from their skin.
Waiting until sunset, Lan finally arrived at the Forest of Giant Trees under the guidance of Dunka.
Dunka said: "Go in, human. Your princess is inside, and you and she will meet Queen Aina later."
Now they could move forward at a faster speed: there were open spaces between the huge trees, other vegetation could not survive in their shadow, and there was only a thick layer of rotten leaves on the ground.
"Take off the blindfold, human. We are here." Thick fog covered Heifeng's knees, and Lan finally waited for Dunka's voice.
"In other words, we can just go directly to your capital now, right?"
The two continued to move forward, and Lan could only feel the outside world through his ears. He heard the songs of various birds with different tones, and the sounds of squirrels playing; then he heard the sound of horse hooves treading water, and the fish that were already accompanying them were swimming in the water.
The sound of fluttering.
The dryad kept chasing, and Ciri kept running. She would run after her, and she would run after her. As a result, Ciri chose the wrong direction, and once approached the center of Brokilon.
Lan knew he had arrived at the true Brochlon, the end of the road.
What Ciri didn't know was that they were already very close to the capital of Doon Karnar, which the dryads called Doon Karnal. She almost circled Brokilon and a half, wasting a lot of time going around in circles.
, and finally did not escape.
Ciri kept running, and the dryad blocked her all the way. When she ran, she blocked him, and when she ran, she blocked him. In the end, she was really blocked.
Brian not only chased her by himself, but also continuously summoned his tree spirit companions in the process to round up Ciri from all directions.
"This is Doon Canal, the Place of the Oaks, the Heart of Brochlon."
Lann couldn't help but feel awe as he looked at the scene in front of him. He had seen many modern buildings and various art scenes in later generations, but this was indeed the first time he had seen something like this.
On top of this huge oak tree, there are mistletoe-like masses hanging heavily on the branches and trunks. Some are very close to the ground, some are far away, and some are even placed on the top of the tree. These are
Tree spirit houses, and these tree houses are made of living wood, "houses" that grow directly from huge oak trees.
Lann couldn't laugh or cry when he heard this. He seemed to realize what the problem was. Unexpectedly, what caused the setbacks was the self-help knowledge he taught Ciri.
At first, it was completely silent in the sinkhole, and not a single shadow could be seen. But not long after, they heard a loud and sweet whistle. There was a slender black-haired tree spirit, stepping on the spirally arranged porous holes on the tree trunk.
The mushroom walked gracefully. Like other dryads, the color of her clothes was also very deceiving.
Dunka suddenly asked to stop. She took off her flower crown and turned to Lann and said: "Human, I will blindfold you for the rest of the way. I must do this."
Lan looked at Doon Canal. The capital of the dryad was actually a huge oak tree that "grew" from the bottom of the sinkhole.
Those trees—mostly oak, yew, and butternut trees—were more than a dozen yards thick, and their height was even more difficult to judge. The position of their sinuous and powerful roots that transformed into tree trunks was well above their heads.
Following the direction of Dunka's finger, Lann walked into a wooden house. The walls and ceiling of the "house" filtered the sunlight, making the interior sparkle like a kaleidoscope.
He opened the door and seemed to hear an argument inside.
"Little rascal! I almost died because of you! Ha! You are so lucky, I can't get up now, otherwise I will definitely beat your ass! Because of you, my barony is over. Even if I get out of the forest alive, my only
The only destination is the gallows."
"You little villain! King Ewell is going crazy... Each message is more terrifying than the last one. He said that your grandmother sent an army to attack him. But who believes that you ran away on your own? Everyone knows that Ewell
What was he like? Everyone thought he... did something stupid while drunk and ordered you to be thrown into the pond and drowned!
We are about to go to war with Nilfgaard, but now the contract and alliance with your grandmother have been ruined! Do you know how bad you have done?"
