Devil's Journey

Chapter 45
Several other people also got up one after another and took their things. Ren and Lord went to the task collection counter first, queued up to receive the task, registered the task on the task card of their team, and then went out to find the few people who came out first .

The eastern mountains are not dangerous for most of the nearby adventurers. The blows from humans make the stronger tribes migrate to the deeper mountains, and only some weaker tribes will survive on the outskirts of Tyrell. .

puff~
A ghostly goblin squatting on a tree was pinned down by a short and thin boy who suddenly appeared behind him. Before the wild goblin could yell, Lord cut the goblin's throat with a short dagger.

"This is not normal, Ren, these goblins actually know how to cooperate with each other to look out, and there are secret whistles." Sylvia was wearing a gray steel helmet at this time, and there was a lock neck guard under the helmet, and the orange uniform The hair on the neck has been tied up, and then tied tightly with a hat, looking solemnly at the wild goblin brought back by Lord.

"Well, it's a bit like a large tribe of goblins, but the eastern mountainous area is cleaned up by the army every year, so there can't be a large-scale goblin tribe." Ren also checked the goblin's outfit with a frown.

The equipment of these goblins is not very good, there are only some single-piece short bows or rusty short swords, but it is incredible that these goblins will stay away from the lair and keep watch.

"It seems that there are indeed some ghosts in the eastern mountainous area, but I don't know if it is the work of demons." Sharna seemed a little uneasy. This kind of uneasiness from intuition made Shaerna unable to explain the reason, but she kept her expression uneasy. rather.

"Regardless of whether it is a demon or not, I only dare to do some conspiracies and tricks. I think we are definitely not too strong. Even if we lose, it should be no problem to find out some news." The mage boy was full of confidence, and his expression was quite Feeling eager to try.

The few people looked at each other, but they didn't flinch. Since they are adventurers, they would run away when encountering a little trouble. Regardless of the young age of several people, the most mature Ren is only in his twenties. But except for the mage Burt who just came out of the academy, the others have at least two or three years of experience.

swoosh~
A thin orc was shot through the throat by a long arrow from behind. After running two steps forward, he dropped the wooden stick in his hand, clutched his throat, rolled and struggled a few times before dying.

This was a group of half-orcs who were trying to sneak attack on the Rennes team, but they were discovered before the attack started, and then this group of half-orcs were defeated by the Rennes team who was ambushing.

The mage boy didn't cast spells. Although he had just left the academy not long ago, Burt also knew that the bronze-rank apprentice mages had too little mana. He wanted to retain as much mana as possible and use spells at critical times. Therefore, Bert also equipped a light crossbow.

Just now Bert also used this light crossbow to shoot and kill a howling half-orc. Killing a 'human' for the first time made Bert feel a little ups and downs, although Bert was a little reluctant to call the half-orc a human.

"Hmph." Sharna snorted coldly, put away her bow and arrow, and gave the ugly Burt a contemptuous look.

Ren used the rags from the half-orc to wipe off the blood on his great sword, while Sylvia, who always looked gentle and kind, held the one-handed broadsword in one hand and stood vigilantly at Lei's sword while holding the shield. En's flank looks like a good wife and mother. Of course, the premise is to ignore the blood stains on Sylvia's sword.

"Ren, come quickly, there is a situation here." Lord's voice came from a distance, and Ren and the others looked at each other, and then stepped forward in a battle formation.

Soon a few people saw Lord standing in front of a big tree, but the first thing they saw were a few corpses hanging from the big tree. Judging from their attire, they should be adventurers, but it wasn't Ren and the others. known adventurers.

Lord turned around, revealing the big tree in front of him, and saw that the bark of the big tree was scraped off, and two different words were engraved on it, which seemed to be stained with blood.

'With this as the boundary, trespassers die. '

'Don't say it's unpredictable! '

"Well, the general text in the front is easy to understand. What does the latter paragraph mean? Is it an ancient text? Or is it a demon language? Elven language? Dragon language? Well, what do you think, Bert?" Ren looked distressed The words on the tree, and then turned to look at Burt, the most educated in the team.

"Ah? Uh, this is..." Bert was stunned for a moment, then glanced at the expressionless Sharna. Burt gritted his teeth and swallowed "I don't know".

"This, Dragon Language. It's definitely not like this, maybe it's like a demon." Burt hesitated, and when he saw the mockery on the face of the half-elf girl over there, Burt changed the subject and continued: " Cough cough, it's a bit similar, but it's definitely not a devil language."

"Huh? What could that be? This neat and regular arrangement shouldn't be a random drawing, right?" Silvia couldn't help asking questions while guarding her surroundings.

"It won't be Celestial language either. The current human language comes from the simplified Elvish language, and the Elvish language comes from Celestial language. There is a possibility of this completely different language." Bert decided to start I made it up myself, but I can’t help it, he doesn’t know the magic of language, so I can only make it up, but it’s okay, because other people don’t understand it anyway.

"Oh?" The others didn't expect Burt to really understand something.

"Ahem, this possibility is that the texts inherited by ancient civilizations. I heard from a friend of mine who studies archaeology that in the investigation of the ruins left by ancient civilizations, um, even an age older than the age of elves was found. There are even many writing systems that are completely different from modern writing in those ruins. Unfortunately, such ruins are too rare, so most people have never heard of them, and only us mages who are dedicated to learning extensive knowledge will I've heard of it." The more Burt talked, the more he felt that he had made up the story, and he stunned the others.

"Nabert, what do you mean"

"That's right, the recent change in the eastern mountainous area is probably because of a remnant of an ancient civilization that survived or was resurrected or woke up from a deep sleep." He woke up only after the demons invaded, what does this mean? It means that there are ancient civilization ruins hidden in the Tyrell Mountains." At this time, Burt made his own conclusion after integrating the plots of the suspenseful fantasy novels he had read before.

"what?!"

"real or fake?!"

"No way?!"

Several teenagers and girls were taken aback, and looked forward with eager expressions.
