Chapter 18 Continue the Journey
The two druids sent us to the exit of the Moon Association, everything was exactly the same as when we came - in front of us was a straight road, and the road was lined with neatly arranged trees.
As we kept moving forward, the grass on the ground also reacted - they made way out of our way as if they had their own lives, and a dirt path soon appeared in front of us.
I raised my eyebrows in surprise, stepped on the dirt path, and quickly felt a completely different place than before. I could hear the sounds of these plants and trees! They cheered and celebrated the birth of a new messenger of nature.
I subconsciously looked at Hickrad beside me, and found that he had just turned his head and was looking at me incredibly.
"You heard it?" he asked in a low voice with some excitement.
I nodded, and he seemed even more excited, "God, this is really amazing."
I thought of the squirrel, "This may be the function of natural language," I whispered to Hickrad, "Who can say that these plants do not have their own consciousness and life?"
"Let's go," I pulled Hickrad, who was still thinking about contemplatively. "This question can be left to the future and then slowly think about it. It's almost dawn," I pointed to the sky above my head. "You won't want the two ladies to discover our secrets, do you? Don't forget how Lagotila told us."
"You're right," Hickrad raised his head quickly, "It's going to be bright, we have to go back as soon as possible."
We didn't say anything more, the sun was slowly rising, and the forest and the world were ushering in a new day.
Fortunately, the road was not too long, and we soon came to the end. The druids who stayed here when we left were still loyal to our camp.
"Ah, you are back," the head druid jumped off the slope, "very good," he looked at us with a smile, "I can smell the rich natural breath of you, it seems that my Lord has a new messenger."
"Yes, brothers Druids," I stretched out a hand to pull him over and hugged each other for a while, "As you can see, this Mr. Hickrad and I are the new messengers of the God of Nature."
"Ah, very good, very good," Druid let go of me, hugged Hickrad, and patted him hard on the back. "I can feel that the corruption in this forest has been cleared. Your first work was done very well, and my Lord will be very satisfied."
"Please continue your journey," he pushed Hickrad and me to the camp tent. "We used some natural tricks, so your female companions would not wake up naturally. Oh, don't worry, this trick is certainly harmless, it just needs you to wake them up."
"If nothing else, we should go back," the druid bowed, "I'm sorry for offending, but staying outside the forest for a long time makes me feel a little...uncomfortable."
"I understand, respected brother Druids," I followed him and bowed, "Thank you so much for everything you have done for our partners, we will not forget."
"No need to be so reserved, friend," the head druid suddenly laughed happily, "You, we, are all natural people, and should help each other."
"Okay, brothers, it's time for us to leave," he made a strange sound like a night owl, and the other druids left their posts one after another. "Only the forest is our unchanging home."
They all returned along the way we came, and disappeared into the forest and disappeared.
After they left, the trees in the forest moved again, and the straight road leading deep into the forest quickly disappeared, and everything became exactly the same as when we just set up camp.
"Okay," I stretched. The sun was already rising and the sun had illuminated the earth. It was time to continue the journey. "Let's wake them up."
Hickrad nodded and got into Sefili's tent. I smiled and turned my head to approach Erin's tent.
As soon as I got closer to the tent, I heard the sound of uniform breathing coming from inside. It seemed that the druids' tips were indeed very useful - even with the sound of trees moving, they still slept with a sweet smile.
"Okay," I said to myself helplessly as I pulled open the tent, "Let me be this demon that ruins your dreams."
In the tent was Irene who was asleep. She held her quilt tightly, and the expression on her face was indescribable. What was even more cute was that there was a long strand of saliva hanging on the corner of her mouth.
I smiled and shook my head, stretched out my hands to her ear, then squeezed her ear hard, and shouted in my mouth: "It's time to get up, ma'am!"
"Ah!" This set of continuous blows woke Erin up suddenly. She jumped up from the bed and her body moved under her instinct to protect herself.
"Dong! Pa! Ah! Savos, my dear, sorry!"
The first sound was the muffled sound of her fist hitting my stomach, and the next sound was the crisp sound of her slap on my face.
"I'm fine, Erin," I squeezed out a smile and waved my hand at Erin who was full of apology. "Get dressed quickly, we have to continue on our way."
"When...of course."
Erin answered me in a voice that was no more than a mosquito buzzing. Seeing that I had no reaction, she pushed me out of the tent again.
As soon as I was pushed out of the tent, I saw Hickrad, who was also driven out of the tent. He was scolded. Compared with Erin, Serfili was much more aggressive.
He obviously encountered the same situation as me in the tent, except that he looked a little worse than me - he had two red slap marks on his face, and I only had one.
"It's not so good," I walked to him and pulled him down on the ground. "You look worse than me."
"Oh my God," Hickrad sat down with his cheek, "Serfiri is such a crazy woman...I feel my teeth have been loosened-what of her do I fall in love with?"
"Who knows," I shrugged, unscrewed my kettle and handed it to him, "Drink some water, it's good for your injury."
"Thank you," Hickrad said thank you in a vague manner, then took the kettle and took a sip.
"I'm not much better than you," I said helplessly, "Irene only slapped me, but I was punched in the stomach."
"Haha," Hickrad immediately laughed gloatingly when he heard this, and then clenched his fists. "Those druids didn't explain this side effect clearly. I must make them look good next time I see them!"
"Come on," I looked at him, "those druids don't know that this will happen."
During the time we chatted, the two ladies also packed up their belongings and walked out of the tent. "Good morning, two gentlemen," Serfiri said with a smile. "Maybe you should carry these heavy things for us like the gentleman of Capofez?"
She said, raising the backpack in her hand.
"Of course, I'm honored, dear Serfire," before I could speak, Hickrad walked up with a smile, his mouth wide open, as if he was not injured.
While laughing, he took over the backpack from Sefili's hand.
"I don't know it hurts now," I rolled my eyes, looked at Erin, who was also smiling and looking at me, and was a little embarrassed, and took the backpack on her hand.
Hickrad and I were carrying things, chatting and laughing with the two ladies, and walked to the big tree with horses tied, re-secured the backpack and luggage to each of our horses, and liberated the horse from the edge of the tree.
I looked at the horses I was leading and suddenly remembered the magical natural language. This seemed to be a good opportunity to figure out what these horses were thinking.
"How are you okay, man," curiosity could no longer be suppressed. While Erin and Sephili were not paying attention, I bent down and whispered in the horse's ear.
"Oh, the messenger of nature, I'm glad you've mastered the natural language," a thunderous sound suddenly sounded, and it came so suddenly that I was shocked.
I subconsciously looked at Erin and Sefili not far away. They continued to pack up the rest as if they had heard nothing.
So I felt relieved. Perhaps in their opinion, the horse was just making a meaningless neigh.
Hickrad, not far from me, heard the sound. He turned his head, looked at me with inquiring eyes, and then looked at the two horses I was holding.
I nodded to him without a trace and then came back to the horse's ear.
"Yes, how do you know I am the messenger of nature?" I asked in a low voice.
"Oh, don't get so close," the horse shook his neck hard, "I can hear you talking normally."
"As for why, ha," the horse laughed, which made me feel absurd and unreal, and it sounded like it was laughing at me.
I was ridiculed by a horse?
Before I could delve into this question, I continued to look at the horse and looked forward to it giving me an answer.
"All natural creatures can now know who you are," the horse continued, "this is a strange sense...well...just like we know what kind of grass is the most delicious, I can't explain the principle to you, you can classify this ability as the instinct of natural creatures."
"That is, natural creatures like you, you know that we are messengers of nature when you see us?"
"Yes, right," Ma'er obviously became much happier, "It seems that you are not too stupid."
"That's certainly," I smiled proudly, "I am the messenger of the God of Nature."
This conversation with the horse made me feel at ease. It would be enough to be sure that not everyone could see our identity as a messenger of nature. I don’t want to be targeted by some guy who is hostile to the God of Nature for no reason.
"There are a few more questions, how do you feel?"
"Oh, my God, what are you carrying?" Hearing my question, the war horse immediately made a dissatisfied voice, "Oh my God, I have never carved so many such heavy things! I also have to count the weight of one of you! This is really uncomfortable!"
"I don't think you are a human...you are a horse."
"It doesn't matter!" The war horse made a long neigh, "Anyway, when we arrive in the city, my brother and I will have a good meal--it's better beans! We need to rest for a while!"
"No problem, no problem."
While I agreed to the horse's request, I looked up and saw Hickrad covering his mouth and looking at me.
There is no doubt that he was laughing at me, and I couldn't say how angry he was, but his appearance made me a little unhappy.
"Stop laughing at me, Hill," I walked up to him and said viciously, "I'm collecting intelligence for our safety. Maybe I should let you do this next time."
"You are right, you are right, Sarah," Hearing my threat, Hickrad immediately stopped his laughter. He looked at me sincerely, with his expression so sincere, and those who don't know him will probably be deceived by his expression, "I won't laugh at you next time, I swear."
"Okay," I snorted, walking back to my and Erin's two horses, "I'll believe you this time."
"What are you two gentlemen arguing?" Erin walked over with the tent she had stored. "Savos looks very angry."
"Nothing," I chuckled twice, "we just exchanged opinions on the palm prints on our faces."
"Ah, poor Savos," Erin covered her mouth and laughed, "I will clean up for you when it's time for Chelfidu."
"Let's talk about it when you get to the place," I shrugged and handed the reins of the war horse to Erin. "We'll go, we must reach Chelfidu today."
"Then I'll have to have a good sleep," I added in my heart. I guess Hickrad must have the same mind as me, but we haven't slept all night! I don't know how he feels now, but I just feel that my eyelids are fighting. Even if I suddenly fall asleep immediately, I won't be surprised.
Thinking of this, I turned over and the most difficult part was gone, and the rest was not that difficult.
It doesn't seem like we need three days - I guess many people will waste one day or even more of that pass before that pass.
But small teams have the benefits of small teams. Judging from the map, the next journey is smooth. As long as we are fast enough, it is completely feasible to get to Chelfidu today.
Thinking of this, I decided to act immediately. The sun had risen completely from the horizon, and time was passing by little. I put the map back into my luggage pocket on the side of the war horse and swung the reins hard.
"drive!"
The four war horses rushed out in the order of front and back. In less than five minutes, we returned to the cobblestone forest protection road.
Chapter completed!
