Endless vast other world

Chapter 7

Since meeting Funo, Sora hasn't had a good rest.

In fact, what good solution could he think of?He is just a commoner.

But he just refused to give up.

In the past few days, besides trying to find a way around, he has not stopped researching on the rough stone.

He clearly felt that the deeper the research, the more ignorant he would appear.The space for gaining knowledge appears to be greater.

A seemingly ordinary stone actually contains almost infinite mysteries.

The integration of the rough stone and the battle suit has become closer.Now, the battle suit should no longer be like the last exploration mission, which has no energy before completing the mission.

At the same time, the attack power and defense power of the battle suit have also been further enhanced.Sora could feel the increase in speed and strength.

More importantly, the connection between Sora and the suit is getting closer day by day.The battle suit gradually seemed to have life.It began to breathe, to think.

However, the uneasy emotions began to grow wildly like weeds in the wild.

This kind of research can be said to be unprecedented in the ancients and unprecedented in the future.No one has ever had such a crazy idea.There is no experience to learn from, no historical data to look up.

Sora couldn't help but fell into a crazy vortex of self-denial.

Maybe he really is a lunatic?Even if he takes a step back, even if he is not crazy, he is asking for trouble.

At this time, Kongzhen couldn't help but miss his childhood.

Without a trace of defense, he found himself gradually surrounded by homesickness.

In fact, he himself knew it.What he really missed was the hometown that had been destroyed long ago.All he missed was a time.

His childhood cannot be said to be lucky.However, it is indeed wrapped in warmth.

How he longed to return to that warmth.

Even so, it was just a temporary escape from the darkness in front of him.

He stared at his suit.

If he is an irrelevant stranger, if he is asked to evaluate the madman Sora and his crazy battle suit, he can only say that this is a very "strange" idea.Strange, strange, strange...

He couldn't help feeling terrified about his future.

He can imagine that his future is nothing more than two situations.Or, be completely abandoned by the world, curled up in a small abandoned room all his life, murmuringly studying his own battle clothes, all his life is futile and fruitless.Or, really by virtue of never having.

However, if he can really become the lucky one in heaven.Then he couldn't believe what he would bring to this world.An unprecedented change.

These are the times that really need heroes.Could it be that……

However, this thought made him even more frightened.He longs for approval, but at the same time fears success.

What a troublesome guy.

However, at the moment Kongzhen didn't have the time to think about these things.

He has a problem.He didn't have enough money, and he was almost out of money for board and lodging at the hotel.

At this time, it was already dawn.He was not in the mood to sleep, so he got dressed and went downstairs.

He decided to go to the guild to pick up some tasks.

To the guild.At this moment, Joe was yawning and was cleaning.

Seeing Sora, Joe was a little surprised.

"It's been a long time since I saw you coming."

"Yes. I came here today to take on some tasks."

"That's right!" Joe leaned closer to Sora and said in a low voice.

"Last time, when you were drinking here, a woman in a black veil came and gave you this."

She took out the bag of gold coins Fu Nuo gave her.

"At that time, you chased her out in a hurry, and the bag of gold coins fell on the table. I opened it and saw that it was a big bag of gold coins. I was scared and put it away for you. Thanks to I saw it first. If those drunkards and gamblers saw it, it would have been stolen a long time ago...be careful in the future..."

Kong Zhen took the purse, was very moved, and thanked him repeatedly.

As a waiter of the guild, Joe worked very hard, and his salary was not high, but he was so kind.

Of course Kongma would not swallow this bag of gold coins.He planned to find Fu Nuo and return it to her.

Early in the morning, there were no customers in the shop.Except for Joe, no other waiter has come yet.Being idle and bored, Joe and Sora struck up a conversation without saying a word.

"What about the woman you were with before?"

"Uh, she has something to do, so she can't come..."

"It's a pity. The exploration mission you completed is really beautiful! I really look forward to your next performance..."

Sorama responded while looking carefully at the bulletin board.

He had hoped to find some quests to kill slimes, for example.Take it easy and get some bounties.After all, he has more important tasks to do now.

But the strange thing is that there are very few tasks on the bulletin board.There is almost nothing about slimes.On the contrary, there are many new missions about goblins.

Kongzhen is a bit strange.

"Joe," Sora asked, "Why aren't there any simple tasks on the bulletin board?"

"A simple task? Ah, yes. You haven't been here for a while, so you don't know what happened outside?"

"what happened?"

Joe put down the cup in his hand, approached, and said mysteriously.

"Recently, it seems that a group of demon kings appeared in the suburbs..."

"Demon King Army!"

Sora heard it, and almost didn't cry out.

"Not at all. When I heard a name, I was so scared..."

Joe thought Sora was really timid.

She didn't even know what Kong Zhen had been through.

"It's said to be the Demon King's Army, but according to those brave men who have approached it, it's basically just some goblins. It's nothing scary."

Demon King Army?Goblin?
"This is so close to the capital, how did they come here?" Kong Zhen was very anxious.

"Who says it's not? It stands to reason that the devil is just launching some wars on the border. How could he be so close to the capital this time... Could it be that he wanted to provoke? However, even if he wanted to provoke, he shouldn't just Just send some goblins over here. Goblins are only a little bit bigger, not much better than slimes..."

"Didn't you report it to the capital?"

"Someone also reported it. However, these brave men thought it was the Demon King's army. The people in the capital didn't believe it at all, thinking it was just a group of wandering goblins."

This is bad.Sora thought to himself.

"These goblins are really annoying. Because of them, the little monsters in the nearby cities have disappeared. Naturally, the simple tasks you want are gone. Now, basically only goblins and goblins are left. related task."

"I must go and see."

Sora chose a mission.Kill three goblins.

"Waiting for your good news." Joe went to busy with his own affairs.

Sora ran all the way back to the hotel.He put on all his battle clothes.all.

His keen intuition told him that this matter was not that simple.

He couldn't help thinking of that night in that forest.that wizard.

Sora remembers it very clearly.Gunnar was not surprised at all when he saw Sora using the suit.This shows that he must have come prepared.He knows Sora very well.

More critically.Back then, relying on Kong Ma alone was not able to repel him.When fighting Sora, he didn't even use his full strength.Sora didn't even know his details.

Today's Kongzhen is much stronger than it was then.But, can Gunnar really be defeated?
If only Kenney was by her side.If Kenney is still there, Sorama and Kenney join forces, and the two of them will definitely be able to...

Sora put on his robe to cover his battle suit.out of town.

When he came to the suburbs, he was even more surprised.

The outskirts, which used to be full of scenery, are now ruined to the point of disrepute.Not to mention mobs, even the grass was burned.

This further corroborates Kongzhen's judgment.If it was just a group of wandering goblins, it would be absolutely impossible to cause this level of destruction.

Sorama recalls his hometown town.Yes, the style of brutality is exactly the same.

This is the Demon King Army.

Sora has seen the Demon Lord.She's not some reckless brat who only knows how to resort to brute force.Unlike the previous Demon Lord, her strategy is terrifying.

She couldn't just send a bunch of normal goblins for no reason.Just imagine the distance from the border to here.This group of demon kings easily broke through layers of defense.These goblins must be the best of the best.And, since it's so well-trained, there must be a leader.

He walked further away.

I walked a long way without knowing it.We're in the woods.

"rustle."

There was a sudden movement in the grass.

Sora immediately became alert.

"Huh!" A wild boar emerged from the bushes.

Sora breathed a sigh of relief.

"Whoosh!"

An arrow flew over!

This arrow is extremely fierce.Right in the head of the wild boar.

The wild boar fell to the ground.Didn't even have time to scream.

This is master.Sora decided to hide to the side first.

He found a thicker bush next to him and hid.

After a while, a few goblins came out from the depths of the woods.

Definitely different from normal goblins.

Ordinary goblins are skinny and ugly.The weapons in his hands are some stone and wooden sticks that can be seen everywhere.Occasionally, there are some clever ones, and at most they tie the sharpened wood to the thick stick.Moreover, they don't have any IQ at all.Like a beast.What drives them to act is the animal desire in their hearts.

But these few goblins.tall and big.The weapons they used were all made of iron.The forging process is very sophisticated.

Especially the arrow just now surprised Sorama even more.Whether it is strength or precision, it is one of the best.Let alone goblins, even humans.If there is no hard training the day after tomorrow, I am afraid it will be difficult to reach this level.

Sora saw that they lifted the wild boar skillfully and carried it back.

Sora quietly followed behind them.

I don't know how long I walked, and came to a camp.

There are not many tents.In other words, the total number of this group of goblins should not be many.However, all of them are elite.Sora didn't dare to take it lightly.

Several goblins started a fire.There is also a goblin with a sharp knife, and he cuts open the wild boar.

In Sorama's imagination, as soon as the barbaric goblins smelled the smell of meat, they would immediately frantically surround him and fight for each other.

But this group of goblins did not.They actually know what order is.The goblins who were eating each took a few pieces of meat, and immediately dispersed.Those who didn't have a turn to eat were still concentrating on their own affairs.

Just when Sora was amazed, suddenly, a dwarf came out from one of the tents.No, strictly speaking, they were escorted here.

The dwarf brought over a large bag of ironware.Sora took a closer look and found that it was a large pack of arrow clusters.

The goblins with bows and arrows gathered around immediately.

It was so far away that Sora couldn't hear what they were saying.But judging from their expressions, Sora speculated that they seemed to be very dissatisfied with the arrow clusters brought by the dwarf.

Dwarves are masters at forging weapons.The weapons they make are of the highest quality.As far as Sora knows, both the Demon King Army and humans have maintained close trade ties with the Dwarves all year round.Dwarves never engage in combat and normally remain neutral.With the sale of weapons, they also live a prosperous life.

But, why is this dwarf working exclusively for the goblins?

Sora really wanted to stretch his neck to see what they were doing.

"Aoo la la la la la..." came a roar from behind.

Sora looked back.

A few goblins were standing not far behind him.stared at him fiercely.

Ruined!
Sora scolded himself.He only focused on the situation in front of him, ignoring the enemies behind him.

There must have been more than one wave of goblins who went hunting just now.Look, these goblins are also carrying prey.They just came back and happened to see Sora.

They roared loudly.

In an instant, all the goblins responded.They all saw Sora.

Well-trained, they immediately took up their weapons, formed an encirclement circle, and surrounded Kongzhen.

Damn it!Damn it!
Kongzhen's scalp tingled for a while.

These goblin land weapons are made of iron.Iron rods, iron arrows, iron axes...

They bared their teeth and claws, gradually approaching.The encirclement shrinks a little bit.

If only Kerney was here.

The thought flashed through Sora.

Yeah, if only Kerney was there.With so much experience, Kerney would definitely know to pay attention to her back and not to be surrounded.If Kenney was here, she would be able to deal with these goblins easily.

If Kerney is here...

Reality is too much to think about.

A few goblins were shooting arrows at Kong Ma at the same time!

"Clang! Clang! Clang!"

The sharp arrow passed through Kong Zhen's robe as a matter of course.

But it didn't hurt Kong Ma in the slightest.

no solution anymore.Sora didn't want to be exposed anymore.

He slowly took off his black robe.

A battle suit was displayed in front of the goblins.

The goblins have never seen what this is.They were all frightened.

Now it's time to really start.

Sora summoned several magic circles in succession.Even in the daytime, it feels bright and dazzling.

The lasers emitted by the magic circle scattered.All the goblins who were hit fell to the ground one after another.

But they did not retreat.Instead, continue to surround them.

Goblins who can shoot arrows shoot hard.Goblins with melee weapons charged forward despite the dense laser beams.As long as they get close to Sora, they will swing their weapons like crazy.

Sora is firing magic rays while dealing with short-range goblins.

no.Sora thought to himself.The terrain is too narrow.Can't use it at all.

Then fly over!

He took off the suit.

Kong Zhen immediately rose into the air.

The advantage was immediately apparent.

Although it is an iron bow and iron arrow, if it is fired towards the sky, it does not have such a long range.Even if he could hit Sorama's suit, that power would be exhausted.And those goblins in close combat can only be anxious.Even if they threw their weapons upwards as hard as they could, it was of no avail.Instead, when the weapon falls, you will hear screams from the bottom.

There is no suspense about the outcome.

A few minutes later, the goblins below were either dead or wounded.

Vacuum falls to the ground.

Looking at the shocking corpses, Sora didn't know how to feel.

He walked slowly on the battlefield just now.

correct!What about that dwarf just now?

Sora was very curious about him.

He walked towards the camp.

He found the tent where the dwarf had been living just now.

Just walk in.A handful of objects suddenly hit him from behind.

"Don't move!"

A trembling voice.

Sora judged that it was the dwarf just now.

"Don't worry, I'm not a bad person."

"who are you?"

"The brave man who will take over the mission."

"What mission?"

"Kill the goblins."

"How did you do it just now?"

"Do what?"

"I saw, you, you just now... unexpectedly flew into the air for no reason... Moreover, you summoned a magic circle of that level so easily..."

"No matter what, I'm not a bad guy, right? You put down your weapon, let's talk slowly. And you just saw that the weapon in your hand should be useless to me."

"That's not necessarily the case."

Having said that, the dwarf laid down his arms.

Sora turned around and looked at him.

The dwarf had a long beard and looked quite old, but he revealed a shrewd and powerful temperament everywhere.

Sora noticed that what seemed to be an ordinary musket in his hand.

Sora couldn't help laughing.How powerful can a musket be?

The dwarf was still looking him up and down warily.

Kong Zhen looked at the sky.It's getting late.

He returned to the battlefield, picked out three still intact corpses from the goblin group, and prepared to use them as certificates to claim the bounty.

"Are you only going to receive the bounty for three?" The dwarf was incredulous.

"Correct."

"Why? You can clearly tell everyone that you have eliminated the vanguard of the Goblins. Fame and fortune are all yours."

"Then how do I explain to others, how did I do it? Tell everyone, I have this?" Sora tapped his battle suit.

The dwarf fell silent.

"Wait! What did you just say? Vanguard? What's going on here? So there are others?"

"Of course there is! This is just a small strand! By the way, where is this?"

"Boqi City."

"Boqi City! It's very close to the king!"

"That's right. Are you so familiar with the map of the human kingdom?"

"Of course! I used to forge weapons for others in the capital!"

"Could it be that you are the Royal Blacksmith?"

"Again! What 'Royal Blacksmith'! 'Royal?' Which royal? I am a dwarf, why should I respect humans as kings?"

The two stared at each other.

They all know each other, and there are endless secrets hidden in each other.

"I'm going back to town now. Do you want to come with me?" Sora asked.

"Okay. I just happen to have nowhere to go." The dwarf agreed.

Sora put on a black veil and returned to the city with the dwarves.

Finally, before sunset, Sora rushed to the guild to redeem the bounty.

"Shall we have a drink here?" The dwarf became interested as he watched the hustle and bustle of the guild.

"Farewell. You know, we have important things to talk about tonight. And..." Sora felt embarrassed.

"I don't have much money now. The money will take a while. The food here is too expensive. Let's go back to the hotel and eat."

"Oh..." The dwarf curled his lips.

"I've been imprisoned for so long, I can't even drink a glass of wine... oh yeah..."

Although it was a complaint, he followed Kongma back to the hotel honestly.

Come to the empty house.The dwarf looked at the low, shabby room and couldn't believe it.Just now he was surprised by Kong Zhen on the way to this small broken hotel.

"No way. You live in this kind of place?"

"Shh! Keep your voice down! I'm still friends with the owner's daughter, and I feel so sad when she hears it."

"It's not that she's sad, it's you who are sad. You have such a great ability, why do you only live in such a dilapidated small hotel?"

"Ability? What ability do I have?"

"That's what I want to ask!" The dwarf sat on the only wooden chair in the room.

"Your suit, what is it all about?"

"I think you are also a master of forging weapons. Have you seen it before?"

At this time, Kong Zhen didn't really believe in this dwarf, after all, they had just met.Sora wanted to try him out.

another reason is.Sorama himself didn't understand this suit at all.Although it is his own work.The dwarves are born perfect blacksmiths, not to mention that this dwarf seems to be quite skilled.Sora also hoped to get some advice from the dwarves.

"I haven't seen it before! I have forged countless weapons in my life, and there are also many magic weapons. But I have never seen such a thing! You seem to have fused a lot of elements and materials to forge a powerful weapon. This is so strange! I've never seen anything like it..."

"Okay, okay, I will talk to you slowly about this in the future. It's you. Why did you appear in the Demon King's Army and serve the goblins?"

Seeing that he couldn't say anything about the battle suit, Sora was inevitably a little disappointed.Taking advantage of the situation, he asked the question he was most concerned about now.

The dwarf hesitated a little.But he looked at Kongzhen and knew that it would be impossible not to tell what happened.So, he began to tell.

The dwarf's name was Terry.Calculated according to the lifespan of a dwarf, he is already an old man now.

According to the practice of the dwarf family, every dwarf is destined to learn the forging of weapons when he is born.When he grew up, he became a weapon blacksmith.The dwarves don't like humans, nor do they like the devil.They are just businessmen.Forge weapons and sell them.There is no bias, it's just a simple trade.

Most of the weapons forged by dwarves are expensive.But despite this, both humans and demon kings are flocking to the weapons forged by dwarves.Because it is the most exquisite weapon, extremely powerful.If weapons of this level are equipped on soldiers, they will have an advantage on the battlefield.

From the bottom of their hearts, the dwarves hope that the war between the demon king and humans will be more intense.The reason is also very simple.The more intense the war, the more money the dwarves will make.After all, forging weapons is the only source of income for the dwarves.

Terry was born in an era when the war between humans and the devil was extremely crazy.The continuous fighting has never stopped.

Like other dwarves, Terry learned blacksmithing from birth.He is a very talented person, and he has his own unique understanding of forging.It only took a few years to become a unique forging master.

However, he gradually developed doubts about his work.

What I made myself is a weapon.A tool for killing.Are you a murderer yourself?
He hoped his doubts could be answered.

He figured out a way.

He wants to go to the battlefield to see for himself.

He told his clansmen that in order to forge weapons that are more suitable for the battlefield, it is necessary to go to the battlefield in person.

The clansmen firmly believed in this young and promising blacksmith.So, amidst the farewell sounds of the clansmen, he embarked on the road to the battlefield.

I don't know how far he has traveled, and he came to the main battlefield between humans and demon kings at that time.

At that time, the Demon King was still the previous one.His brutality is famous all over the world.

Although I have prepared in advance.However, when he actually came to the carnival field of fire and corpses, he was still shocked.

He is very old now.But recalling that day, he still remembers it fresh.All of that, he dare not forget for the rest of his life.

The originally blue sky was shrouded in gunpowder smoke.Innocence turned into brutality.It was as if even the sky had been forced to don a battle suit.

There were charred bodies everywhere.The rancid smell that even flies dare not approach.

He looked at the living creatures that had been killed.

It was originally life!It can jump, a living life!
They were killed.

It occurred to him suddenly.Many of them might have been killed by the weapons they forged.

He felt a tremor inside him.

When he was forging weapons before, he desperately tried to find a way to amplify the lethality of the weapons.Because he is a blacksmith.

And now.In his eyes, life is no longer a cold data, no longer a symbol to measure the power of a weapon.

He began to rethink the meaning of life.

After returning to the dwarves, he didn't know what to say when he saw the people who were busy making weapons.

He knew he couldn't wake them up.

But he had awakened himself.

a dark night.He simply packed his luggage and escaped from the tribe.

At first, Terry wandered around.Because he has nowhere to go.Moreover, he must also pay attention to avoiding the pursuit of the clansmen.

A scorching noon.The vicious sun tortured him.Exhaustion, hunger overwhelmed him.

He fainted.

After an unknown amount of time, he woke up leisurely.

A group of human knights passed by here.The leading knight saw Terry fainted by the side of the road and rescued him.

Terry is very grateful to the leading knight and hopes to repay him.

The leading knight told him that he was the head of the Royal Knights, and his name was Prive.He was about to rush to the front line to fight the Demon King's army.

After learning that Terry was a famous blacksmith, Plive was very excited.He invited Terry to go to the front line with him to help humans fight against the Demon King's army.

Terry hesitated.The reason why he fled from the dwarf tribe was that he didn't want to make weapons for killing people anymore.

However, he really wanted to repay this kind knight leader.

In a dilemma, Terry finally followed Pliff's team to the front line.After all, Pulifu was a life-saving favor to him, and he really had to repay it.

After a long time, Terry returned to the battlefield again.

Stay longer on the battlefield this time.Deep down, Terry doesn't like the devil or humans.However, on the battlefield, Terry witnessed the brutality of the Demon King Army.The balance in his heart began to gradually lean towards humans.

Whether as a knight or as a captain, Pulev is impeccable.After getting along for a long time, Terry also began to be full of admiration for Pulifu.

Terry started working for humans.During that time, he not only guided the human blacksmiths, making them make great progress, but also personally forged many famous weapons.

Under the fierce human offensive, the old demon king suffered a big defeat and ordered to withdraw his troops.Humanity has won a temporary victory.

People shouted and reveled, and countless grand celebrations were held.King Buson was also very happy.He personally received a group of heroes.

After the ministers reported Terry's illustrious achievements, he greatly appreciated him, and invited Terry to be stationed in Herringborg, and awarded him the title of Royal Blacksmith.

Unexpectedly, Terry refused.the reason is simple.If it wasn't for repaying Prive, he would have stopped forging weapons a long time ago.Now that the war is over, it is impossible for him to be a blacksmith anymore.Moreover, he still doesn't have much affection for humans, except for Prive.He was unwilling to honor a human being as king.

Before leaving, Terry gave Pulifu a knight sword he forged as a souvenir.The two friends bid farewell.

After leaving Prive, Terry was told that the fact that he had helped humans in the war had made the entire tribe angry.The dwarves have been seeking a balance between humans and the devil.This is also their self-preservation technique.In the plan of the dwarves, if one of the humans or the devil wants to invade them, they will go to the other side.This is their bargaining chip.

For thousands of years, if it weren't for this delicate balance, how could the dwarves, who are themselves extremely weak, have survived in the cracks.

But now, Terry, as the blacksmith of the dwarves, openly helps humans.The dwarves were afraid that this would lead to revenge from the Demon King's army.They excommunicated Terry from the dwarven tribe.

In fact, Terry himself knew it well.Even if the dwarf tribe is willing to accept themselves, they will not go back.Because I don't want to forge.A dwarf who cannot forge is not a dwarf at all.

From then on, he started a wandering life.

I don't know how long I wandered.Even he himself can't remember.

But just a year or two ago, a group of goblins caught him.

At first, Terry didn't care.He thought it was just a bunch of savage and ignorant goblins trying to rob a lone dwarf.

However, when the leading goblin, the one holding a dead stick, called out the name "Terry" accurately, he realized that something was wrong.

The ambition of the newly promoted female witch is beyond his imagination.She had her eye on Terry for a long time.

Terry was forced to start forging weapons for the Demon King's army.

In the devil's barracks, Terry has been waiting for an opportunity to escape.But kept ending in uselessness.

Terry knew that the devil's target was not just him, the blacksmith.Self is just the beginning.

The devil's plan should be to control the entire dwarf tribe.Force them to endlessly manufacture inhumane killing weapons for the Demon King's army.Prepare to attack the human kingdom.

Some time ago, the devil suddenly assigned a mysterious task to the wizard.After the wizard took the order, he immediately set off with a team of elite goblins.

This task seems to be very important.The wizard did not hesitate to take the risk of Terry's escape, but insisted on taking Terry with him.

These goblins are strictly trained elites.Coupled with Terry's forged weapons, the squad is invincible along the way.They succeeded in attacking their way all the way to the kingdom.

Not even Terry.Under the tight blockade, this team of goblins actually reached Boqi City—a place so close to the capital!And it did not arouse the suspicion of the defenders.

During the day, Terry couldn't bear the forced labor day after day.If he couldn't escape, he was about to collapse.

So he simply went on a passive strike.The arrow clusters made for the goblins are all garbage that is not useful.He hoped to piss off the goblins and make them kill him.

really.Today, the goblins are furious at the substandard arrow clusters he makes and threaten to kill him.

If he did, it would really be what Terry wanted.

But no one could have imagined that right here, Kongzhen would come out halfway.After showing a technique that even Terry had never seen before, he even wiped out the vanguard team of elite goblins.

"Wait!" Kong Zhen interrupted him suddenly.

"I have roughly understood the matter. I want to ask a very important question."

"The wizard you mentioned. Is it called Gunnar?"

"Yes! Yes! That's him! He has a dead wood stick in his hand, which can control magic..."

Hollow's heart tightened.It's really a narrow road.

"You keep saying that the goblins I killed during the day were just the vanguard? So, there will be more goblins coming later?" Kong Zhen asked.

"I overheard their conversation." The dwarf's expression became more serious.

"It's all in their plan. They are here to do two big things. They acted in unison until they got to a certain place. Later, after arriving at that place, Gunnar personally selected some brothers." Brin, act together with him. The rest of the goblins will be the vanguard and come to the vicinity of Boqi City first. When Gunnar finishes his operations there, he will come here to join the vanguard.”

"So, in the near future, Gunnar will come in person? And there will be a group of elite goblin troops?"

"Yes."

Sora sensed danger.

"Where they are now, is it far from here?"

"It's far away. I remember, what is it called, Yinqi Forest..."

"What did you say!"

Sora was dumbfounded.

He took a big step forward and took Terry's arms with both hands.

"Are you sure it's the name?"

"Yes, yes...why are you so excited?" Terry was at a loss.

How could Sora not be excited?

It's so weird.

If Kongma and Keni are still in the Hidden Forest, then Kongma can still understand.The wizard wants to find Sora.

But now Sora is confused.The wizard and Kong Zhen fought against each other, and they were on the way to Boqi City.In other words, the wizard should be very clear that Kenney and Sora are no longer in the Hidden Forest.

wrong.Since the wizard was able to find Kongzhen in the desolate jungle, then with his ability, he should be able to easily find out that Kongzhen is now in Boqi City.Moreover, judging from his plan, the reason why he chose to meet up with the vanguard in Boqi City, a place so close to the capital, should be the goal.

So what is he doing in Yinqi Forest at this time?

Kong Ma suddenly thought of another possibility.

He still remembered that Ouya told him back then.During the time when Sora was in a coma, the Demon King Army tried to enter the Yinqi Forest.

Could it be that, at that time, the purpose of the Demon King's Army was not Sorama at all.

From the very beginning, the Demon King's goal was the Hidden Forest.

That doesn't make sense either.There is nothing in Yinqi Forest.Why did the devil go to such great lengths to attack a forest?
But in any case, what is imminent now is that Ouya is now in danger.It's even possible...

In fact, during this period of time in Boqi City, Kong Zhen also worried about Ouya many times.He worried that after he and Ke Ni left, Ouya would face danger alone.

Who would have thought that the nightmare would come true now.

Sora briefly described his experience to Terry.

When Terry heard that Kong Zhen once escaped from the hands of the devil and fought against Gunnar in the woods, he was surprised from ear to ear.

"So, what are you going to do now?" Terry asked.

After a long silence, Sora said slowly.

"I have to go."

"What did you say?" Terry thought he had heard wrong.

"I said I have to go to Yinqi Forest." Kong Zhen said with certainty.

"why?"

"There are my friends there."

"But... this is too risky..."

"Then I'm going too. I must go."

Terry stared at Sora.

From the moment he saw Sora, Terry was wary of him.Although Kongma rescued him from the goblins, this person is too mysterious.If nothing else, just talk about his battle suit.This made Terry feel that he could not be trusted.

But now, this man is willing to risk his life to save his friend.

Terry suddenly took a liking to the human in front of him.

It's a blessing to be his friend.Terry thought.

"Okay then...then I'll go with you."

"Ah? Why?" Sora was really surprised.

"After you leave, what can I do in a hotel? If you don't succeed, then sooner or later, the wizard will still bring the goblins. I will also be caught."

"Even if I run away now, where can I go? I can barely accept the days of wandering. Fleeing in fear every day, I can't live such a life. Moreover, with the ability of that wizard, no matter how I escape , I'm afraid he will find it too. Even if he can't find it, will I have to spend my whole life in anxiety?"

"Anyway, it's an ending. Why don't you take a gamble. I'll go with you. Maybe I can be of some help."

"If you can really defeat that wizard, then I will go even more. I want to witness his demise with my own eyes."

Sora really thought about it.

Terry is a key figure, knows a lot about the Demon King, and is also an excellent blacksmith.Leaving him here alone, I am also very worried.Better go with him, maybe he can really help.

"Okay. Then you can go to bed early, we will set off early tomorrow morning."

"No problem. Where is my room?"

"your room?"

"That's right. We two big men can't sleep in the same room."

"Well... Logically speaking, it's really not possible... But you see, I really don't have any money right now. After this trip, I might have to spend money again. Now all the goblins have been wiped out by me. , there is no bounty task for a while. This little money has to be saved..."

"No way..." Terry recoiled angrily.

"Am I really going to sleep in the same room with you today?"

"Oh, let's make it a point... Take a rest, it's getting late, tomorrow is going to be a big event."

"The point is, you only have one bed here!"

"This... well, after all you have suffered so long in the Demon King's Army, I will give you the bed. I will sleep on the floor."

"When I was in the Demon King's Army, I slept alone on a big bed every night! And I had my own tent! Really, I never thought that my conditions in the Demon King's Army were better than here... Really... Forget it Forget it, I'll sleep on the floor..."

Terry grumbled reluctantly as he prepared the floor.

"Are you sure? I'll sleep on the floor, after all, you are old."

"Stop arguing, get some rest. You are the main force against wizards, so you should rest well."

Terry had already made his bed and slept on the floor.

Sora was really tired, so he stopped fighting and fell asleep.

Early the next morning, just before dawn, the two of them woke up almost at the same time.

The two packed up a little and set off.

Sora was still the same as usual, put on his battle clothes, and then put on a black robe outside.

The two left the city and went to the suburbs.

Terry asked, "Do you know the way?"

"do not know."

"What? Then this is troublesome. I can't remember how to get away."

"I can't remember how to get there. But I can fly there."

"Ok?"

Before the dwarf could react, Sora took off his black robe and activated his battle suit.

"What? The suit can not only lift off easily, but also fly long distances?"

"That's right. But it's not flying fast at all."

"then what do I do?"

"I'm going to grab you and fly together."

"My God, being caught and flying by someone? This is simply torture!"

"There's no time to argue. I'll try to fly as low and as steady as I can. Get ready."

Sora grabbed Terry and flew up.

"This, this, ah ah..." Terry couldn't help shouting.

Flying in mid-air, for some reason, Sora suddenly thought of Ke Ni again.

I remember back then, it was Ke Ni who summoned the magic broom, and the two of them flew over together.

If Kerney was around...

Fortunately, Sora remembered the way.After flying for a long time, it finally landed near Yinqi Forest.

As soon as Kongzhen put Terry down, he immediately fell to the side, his face was pale, and he found a bush and vomited.

"Are you OK?"

"What do you think? If it were you, would you be able to bear it? What the hell is going on? When I was captured by the Demon King's army, I didn't suffer from this kind of torture..."

Terry would go on whining.Suddenly, there was a strange noise in the forest.

Sora reacted quickly, and immediately pulled Terry into hiding.

After a while, several goblins came out from the forest.They are strong and ferocious, and they look even more difficult than the goblins of the vanguard outside Boqi City.

However, instead of weapons, they held shovels.

One of the goblins walked towards Sora and Terry.

Sora and Terry held their breath.

Sora wasn't out of fear.It's just that he doesn't know what's going on right now.Reckless use of the battle suit will definitely cause riots.

Judging from the current situation, Gunnar must be in the forest.If he is drawn out, it will inevitably be a vicious battle.

The goblin was getting closer and closer to Sorama and Terry.

Terry has been held captive by goblins for a long time.At this moment, he saw the goblin walking towards him, and he was trembling with fright.Sora had no choice but to hold him down hard.

The goblin looked here, found nothing, and went back.

Sora and Terry breathed a sigh of relief.

When the goblins were far away, the two poked their heads out.

Kong Ma's expression was serious.

"It seems that Yinqi Forest has really been captured by the Demon King's Army."

"Not necessarily. It's just that there are a few goblins nearby."

"It must be. That friend of mine is the elf who guards the Hidden Forest. If nothing happens to her, she will definitely find a way to drive these goblins away."

"Then it seems that there is indeed a problem here."

"By the way, have you overheard, why on earth did the Demon King's army come to capture this place? There's nothing there?"

"I really haven't heard of this. What this plan is for, I guess only the wizard and the devil know about it, and they didn't tell anyone else. It seems to be a really important secret."

"We must go in."

Sora pulled Terry and quietly sneaked into the forest.

After entering the forest, Sora was shocked.

Although the memory left in Yinqi Forest is not long.However, in Kongzhen's memory, Yinqi Forest is a rare and holy place.Green trees, fragrant grasses, unknown wild flowers.Everything is always just right.

But now, everything here has been destroyed.Instead, there are embarrassing pits on the ground one after another.With a huge mouth, it seems to lead to hell.

Terry is weird.

"They seem to be looking for something. Otherwise, why dig so many big holes?"

Sora stared at the hole in the ground without speaking.

Terry pulls him.

"Well, there's no time for sentimentality now. It's important that we find your friend as soon as possible."

"That's right." Sora regained his senses.

They continued their journey into the depths of the forest.

The deeper you go, the more potholes you get.Goblins are also appearing more frequently.

They walked on cautiously.Finally, I found the place where the Demon King's army was stationed.

Strangely, a huge altar was built in the center of the camp.

"They seem to be holding some kind of ceremony?" Terry guessed.

"No." Sora shook his head.

After all, Sorama also has a magical foundation.

"Look at the runes on the altar. This altar should be used to extract energy from something."

"So, there is something full of energy hidden in this forest. The reason why they captured this forest is to find this thing?"

"It seems that's right."

"The top priority now is to quickly find my friend Ouya. Find her, and all the mysteries will be solved."

"But the forest is so big, where can we find it?"

"Do you remember how long the wizard has been in this forest?"

"About half a month"

"They have been here for so long, and the forest has been turned upside down. Ouya should have been discovered by them long ago."

"You mean, Ouya has already been killed by them..."

"No. They dig holes everywhere like headless flies, which means that they only know that things are in the forest, but they don't know where they are. Ouya is the elf guarding this forest. If there is really something important in Yinqi Forest Something, she will definitely know. After they caught her, it was impossible to kill her, but they should be asking for the whereabouts of the thing. Moreover, the goblins are still digging holes, which means that Ouya did not tell them. So , Ouya is still locked up now."

"Then the forest is so big, how do we know where she is locked up?"

"If you were Gunnar, where would you imprison Ouya?"

"You mean..."

"That's right. Ouya is now locked up here at the station."

"That's right. When they caught me, they locked me up here. After all, this is not the Demon King's City. There is no prison, and the camp is the safest place."

"Shh! Watch out!"

Someone came out of the tent.

Sora and Terry buried themselves.

A figure came out of the tent.

Sora saw it clearly.

It's Gunnar.

Terry saw it too.He trembled even more.

Gunnar didn't seem to notice anything unusual.He took his deadwood club and led a group of goblins away.The goblins all had shovels in their hands, probably for digging pits.It seems that they are continuing to dig a hole.

At this time, there were only a few goblins left in the camp as guards.

It took a long time before Terry dared to breathe.

"I said, you are too timid."

"If you had been captured by the Demon King's army, you would have been scared like this. By the way, can you really defeat him?"

"To be honest, I'm not sure..."

"Don't, you must win! Isn't your battle suit able to fly? Isn't it able to summon a magic circle? Not at this time, when will it be?"

"Even if you don't need to tell me, I will work hard. Get ready, we are going in."

"Go in? Where?"

"Go to that Gunnar's tent?"

"Into Gunnar's tent? Are you crazy? Wait, you mean..."

"Yes. Gunnar seems to be a cunning and suspicious person. He must have kept Ouya by his side."

"But," said Terry, looking toward the camp.

"Although the wizard left just now, there are still a few goblin guards here."

"I can't control that much anymore. If I don't go now, it will be even more troublesome when Gunnar comes back."

Sora activated the suit with as little energy as possible.

"Right now."

From the guard's side, he slid his body and rushed out.

Several energy rays hit the goblin precisely.

Everything happened so fast.Before the guards had time to react, they all fell to the ground.

Sora rushed into Gunnar's tent.

Sure enough, Ouya was locked up here.

"Ouya, Ouya!"

Ouya was groggy at first.Hearing this familiar voice, he woke up suddenly.

Looking at Kongzhen in front of her, she couldn't believe it, and thought she was dreaming.

"Son, Sora...is it really you..."

"It's me. I'm here to save you."

"Really...that's great..."

Ouya didn't expect that someone would come to save her.She had already made up her mind to die.Seeing Sora at this time, I can't express my excitement.

Sora aimed at the shackles that locked Ouya, and fired a magic ray.

It was completely useless.

"This shackle was cursed by the wizard. I tried countless times, but I couldn't cut it off." Ouya said weakly.

"Try this."

Using the original stone of the ruins, Kong Zhen adjusted the power of the magic circle to a great extent.

"Be careful."

Sora aimed at the shackle, carefully adjusting the angle.

"boom."

The shackles were blasted.

Ouya was stunned.The shackles that he had struggled countless times and kept breaking, but Kong Ma broke it all at once.

"Come on."

Sora helped Ouya up and walked out of the tent.

The tent has been surrounded by goblins.

Terry was escorted by several goblins.

Gunnar looked at him with a smirk.

"Great, great, Sora," Gunnar said.

"I have been waiting for a long time."
