Lord In A Western Fantasy World

Chapter 10

Lucia didn"t sleep well in the castle that night.

There are no pillows in Mershburg, and even the lords use a hard wood headrest a piece of wood is fastened to a well-crafted stand, the center is sanded into a concave arc, and then a cloth Wrap in several layers. Tim searched the entire castle, and only found two from the bedroom of the previous lord and the captain of the guard.

when sleeping on this headrest. Lucia"s head hurts from being knocked on. All the way to the pepper forest, she was wondering when to make a down pillow.

　　The scenery of this forest god is completely different in the morning and at night. It is a man-devouring beast in the middle of the night, but in the early morning it is green and pleasing to the eye, more alive than anywhere else.

But anyone who understands this otherworldly realm knows that the crisis hidden here will not be weakened by the bright light.

Lucia stretched out her hand to block the green branches that fell in front of her, and lifted up the ordinary sack behind her. She turned her head slightly and glanced at the light elf behind her.

The elf had drooping eyelashes, his handsome face was expressionless, but his movements in the forest were obviously a little sluggish. The pair of sheepskin boots that were one size larger than his feet, which were only found from the castle yesterday, have been taken away. Dirty.

Lucia observed secretly, saw him press his hand on the tree trunk to use strength, and in the next second found that the ants and insects on the tree had climbed up the back of his hand, so she quickly pulled back without looking sideways and at a speed that could not be seen with the n***d eye. hand.

　　"..." Lucia said kindly: " You don"t have to follow me, go where you want to go. "

　　" I won"t break my promise. " The elf said seriously, then stumbled upon a stone, and subconsciously stretched out his hand to support the tree trunk again. His eyebrows twitched slightly, as if he was about to show a different expression - but that emotion was quickly suppressed by an invisible force and disappeared.

After a few seconds of silence, the elf said again: " I can heal, and if you are injured, I can help you. "

Healing is a kind of magic that requires divine power to be used. After the creatures in Ketaxi lost their favor, professions that depended on healing, such as priests, died out so if others heard this, they would probably would be very surprised.

Lucia blinked, hesitated for a moment, and said, " Okay. "

　　The hard soles of the boots stepped on the ground covered with leaves, and the small dull footsteps alerted the birds perched on the trees. The winged bird spread its wings and flew, the dense canopy rattled, and there were unknown snakes hissing among the grass.

Kerry stopped, picked up the cowhide water bladder hanging on his back, and took a big gulp.

　　" My dear Deborah, " the water drop slipped across his chin, he wiped his mouth, turned to look at the taciturn female warrior behind him, and said with a bitter face, " How long will it take to go to that pepper forest? "

Deborah took out the map.

　　This is a map sold by a guild in the city of Kuska. The price of a map is five servings of meat about the length of an adult male"s arm. She carefully unrolled the scroll, calculated the time in her mind, and said succinctly, " It"s almost there. "

Deborah was right. It didn"t take long for Kerry to see the crescent-shaped red fruit gradually appearing on the tree. With a look of joy on his face, he tore off the cloth bag on his body and strode forward, muttering in his mouth.

　　"I "m so lucky, the tree peppers here don"t seem to be collected. If the lord"s hot little princess came here, I"m afraid she"d be crazy happy. "

　　Josh, the pharmacist in the team, sneered: " Oh, I think that pampered lady will only be scared out of her head by the beasts here. "

Even in the city of Kuska, the largest survivor territory in the western part of the Ketassi continent, pharmacists who master herbal knowledge and basic treatment methods are very rare. Kerry had long been accustomed to Josh"s sharp and savage character, and laughed indifferently.

The area affected by the divine power of the forest god is not just the pepper forest, the alien world spreads all the way from Mershburg to Kuska. After hearing that the young lady of the lord"s family was buying good fresh tree peppers, the poor Kerry brought his guild members to collect resources in this strange realm of the forest god.

beasts in the otherworld, and usually only the top guilds in Ketasi City dare to set foot in this area. However, Kerry used ten pieces of meat, five sackcloths, and three hemostatic pills to buy a large knife that is said to cut iron like mud not long ago, and his self-confidence instantly exploded.

　　However, apart from Deborah and the equally confident Josh, no one in the already sparsely populated guild was willing to take risks with him, so Kerry had no choice but to circumvent the core area of the God of Forest. From the bypass to the vicinity of the pepper forest.

Kerry was a high- level centaur he was a tall, strong centaur. He picked the pepper fruit on the big tree with ease and put it into a cloth bag.

　　" It"s strange, " he continued, " doesn"t anyone think of taking a detour to this pepper forest to pick fruit except us? I never knew I was so smart... Deborah Jr. What are you looking around, sweetheart? Take these peppers home quickly, and we can go to the tavern for a few jolly drinks. "

　　" Don"t call me sweetie. " Deborah said staunchly, silent for a few seconds, then added: " I always feel a little strange. "

　　" It"s a little strange - isn"t it written on the map that the survivor"s territory called Fort Mersh is nearby? Why don"t those cowards come to pick some peppers? This pepper forest is quite far from Kuska. Far away, not far from their Mursh. "

　　Josh bent over and brushed aside the dense grass next to him, his eyes lit up, he reached out to a rare medicinal herb, and tutted: " I"m very impressed with these Mursh people, the goods they pull every time they come to trade are very good. It"s all white ground beans, and every time I can only replace a little bit of meat, the whole body exudes a sour taste. "

　　" I"m not talking about that. " Deborah frowned. " There are wild beasts in the God of Forest, but I don"t even see a single one of them. "

　　" Isn"t the beast right next to you? " Kerry laughed. " Look, the four-legged centaurs! "

　　"..."

A wisp of fishy wind blew past, and Josh reached out and grabbed the bottom of the herb and pulled it hard.

　　The herb doesn"t move.

He was stunned for a while, a puzzled expression appeared on his face, and he tried again from a different angle.

　　The herb still didn"t move, the topmost leaf quivered slightly, and then slowly stretched out - as if stretching a lazy waist.

The fishy smell was even stronger.

　　Josh suddenly thought of something.

　　According to rumors, there are not only ferocious beasts everywhere, but also plants mutated by divine power. Those plants are bloodthirsty and cruel, sometimes more dangerous than beasts.

　　This thought flashed through his mind for the next second, and his pupils suddenly shrank into needles.

　　" Be careful! "

tender green leaves twisted and stretched, and countless sharp short thorns emerged from the suddenly growing branches. The top of the short thorns flowed with an emerald green cold light, and finally gathered together to protect the seemingly harmless little thorn in the center of the herb. stamens. The soil under Josh"s feet was broken layer by layer, and the thick dark green vines were stained with blood for some reason, and wriggled up to the ground.

Then it pierced through the cracked surface of the earth at a speed that could not be seen by the n***d eye, and the top covered with dried blood was reflected in Josh"s narrowed pupils.

　　Here is the god of forest, the hidden danger of plants is more deadly than beasts.

gleaming iron axe flashed through Josh"s trembling pupils, and the obviously mutated vine was cut into two pieces ruthlessly and heavily, and fell softly to the ground. Inky sap flows from its cracks and seeps into the soil.

Deborah pulled the axe embedded in the ground with force, the muscles under the clothes bulging faintly. Kerry, who is next to him, fastened the bag full of tree peppers and tied it back to his back, concerned: " How are you, Josh? "

　　Josh took a few quick breaths, and got up from the ground.

　　"... Damn it, you scared me! " He wiped the sweat from his forehead, took out the short knife hanging from his waist, blushed and scolded: " What the hell is this, and where did it come from?? "

The two vines on the ground were completely different from the plants they knew. The tissue wrapped under the dark green skin was wriggling like flesh and blood, and the smelly juice was constantly flowing out of the c***k. Josh bent down and carefully picked the broken half vine aside with the tip of the knife.

Kerry came over: " Are you going to take these strange things back to study? "

　　" This is a plant that has been affected by divine power. Who knows if it will have any wonderful effects. " Josh panted and waved at Kerry: " Dude, borrow your bag for use. "

　　" Hey! I don"t want these stinky juices to flow on my lovely little tree pepper, and the lady of the lord"s house will not be very happy. "

　　" Don"t talk nonsense, rinse it with water when you go back, I bet you, that chick can"t see anything. "

Deborah held the axe and stared at the cracked ground.

The vine came out of the ground, and I don"t know where the root is, but it stopped moving after being chopped off by her.

Deborah is a well-known warrior throughout the city of Kuska. She"s human, but she"s naturally stronger than many dwarves. Before the end of the world, she was a frequent visitor to the arena, and she had a lot of fighting experience.

The two men were muttering aside, Deborah was silent for a while, picked up the axe, and motioned for them to let go.

　　" What"s the matter, Deborah? " Kerry was taken aback. " Are n"t you interested in this stuff too? "

Deborah pointed her ax at the c***k in the soil: " I think"

Her voice stopped abruptly.

if something was melted by a fiery furnace, " Zizzi ", " Zizzi ", the dull, tingling sound that made the scalp tingle sounded from the place where the juice penetrated. An eerie thick black mist rose from the cracks like steam, blocking their vision.

The vines protruding from the ground wriggled, crawling slowly on the muddy ground, leaving a dark wet mark behind. It lifted the broken top high until it touched another part of its body.

　　" patta. "

almost inaudible sound, like two magnets attracted to each other, the broken part re-integrated into its body. Its vision returned to clarity, and it sensed everything in the outside world again.

Those human figures appeared intermittently in the fog, with weapons in their hands, their backs against each other, and they looked around vigilantly.

The white tender stamens wrapped in the spikes quietly bloomed, revealing beast-like mouthparts full of fangs, and the branches on the fruitless tree hung down, gradually dyed with a steel-like color.

　　There really are no wild beasts here - because beasts" nature makes them avoid danger.

　　...

A gust of fishy wind blew, and Lucia, who was half-kneeling on the ground, raised her head consciously.

　　" It"s getting dark, " she said.
