Chapter 523: Hanging Forest

In fact, Joan can fly in the form of "Yortonheim Hawkman", and the skills of short- and long-distance flight are better than the poets of Sao Bao, but he is not Casio's showy character.
Now that King Shrek has arranged his court poet to be in charge of air patrols, Joan is happy to ride lazily and save his spell slot to prevent accidental accidents that may be encountered at any time during the journey.
A group of four people walked into the roadside inn. Clark took out a lot of gold coins, rounded up the bread, salami and bacon in the store and filled them with two big bags, which were used as reserve dry food during the trip.
Both he and Shrek are pot-bellied men with amazing amounts of food. If they eat their belly open, so much food will only be enough for them to eat two or three meals. On the way, they will also hunt game and add fresh ingredients on the spot.
Joan and Casio don’t have enough food, and the dry food they carry is enough. Casio wants to buy more wine to take with him on the road, but considering that he may encounter dangers at any time during the journey, it is better to quit drinking in order to keep a clear head and deal with the accident.
After buying the dry food, Clark took Casio to the hotel owner. With the help of the poet's clever teeth and superb bargaining skills, he successfully bought two horses at a very affordable price.
Joan picked himself a tame black horse, and Shrek picked the tallest and strongest horse in the corral—at his weight, if the horse wasn’t strong enough, he could not carry him for a few steps. Be crushed.
After buying the horses, the four went on the road and rode north along the road.
At dusk, the avenue turned east, leading to the pier on the coast.
Joan and his party did not plan to go out to sea by boat, so they left the avenue and continued north along the Mijiu River beach.
By the time the sun sets, the night is shrouded in a riverbank with flowers and grass, and no other passersby can be seen nearby.
Joan, worried that General Hook might send a cavalry to chase down, rushed for another night while the moon was clear, and stopped dismounting until they went deep into the jungle, preparing to camp overnight.
The pristine jungle between Yalfheim and Meadgard is the famous "Head Forest".
In the endless sea of ​​trees, there are countless beasts, as well as cruel orcs and greedy hill giants running through the forest, but all the above threats are not as good as the old green dragon named "Duolan" in the legend. Danger.
Throughout the ages, people who dreamed of becoming dragon slayers wanted to find Duolan’s lair, but even from a bird’s eye view of the forest, they could not tell where the green dragon’s lair is located.
This fact makes people doubt that either this so-called "evil dragon" does not exist at all, but that the old people have compiled fairy tales that scare children; or Duo Lan is not just a giant dragon, but also a wise caster, Use high-level illusion to hide your nest perfectly.
In recent years, new changes have taken place in the depths of the forest. First, a group of weirdos who claimed to be "conquering believers" frequently moved in the forest, spreading a supernatural disease called "black wilt". Trees infected with black wilt would quickly wither and turn black, and then transformed into evil and cruel activation Plants-"withered monsters".
"Withered monster" will actively attack all living things within the perception range, and use the branch as a noose, hang the victim alive on the branch, just like the mobile gallows walking in the forest. Here comes.
There are rumors that the old green dragon "Duo Lan" is the common leader of the "Conquering Order" and the "Blighted Monsters". However, so far there is no reliable evidence to confirm this speculation, nor evidence to overturn this speculation. The secret of the "First Forest" is still shrouded in the endless mist, and is unknown to the world.
Joan dismounted, found a sheltered area on the beach, put down the "campfire rosary", read the mantra to raise a bonfire, then took out the "endless water bag", filled the kettle rack and burned on the fire open.
Clark was planning to collect firewood to make a fire, and was quite surprised to see this scene. He quickly greeted Shrek and Casio to sit around the fire and rest.
The flame created by the "Campfire Rosary" has enough heat to boil water for heating and cooking food, and there is also a big advantage that it does not produce conspicuous smoke and dust. This is particularly important for Joan and his party who are worried about being followed by someone behind them.
Joan, Clark, Shrek, and Casio were around the campfire. They poured a large cup of boiled black tea until the sugar was added, and then took out the dry food to fill their stomachs.
The hot tea and food dispelled the coldness at night, and the fatigue caused by the rush all day was also relieved.
Clarke happily introduced his treasure hunting plan to his companions while eating and drinking.
These plans Joan has heard Clark say that he is more concerned about what to do after getting the "key" buried deep in the Owl Valley.
Unfortunately, Clark did not give a detailed explanation on this point. I am afraid that even he himself is not clear, where exactly the door opened by the "key", how to find the treasure next, and what threats are there on the way to the treasure, you can only take one step at a time.
Casio was very dissatisfied with the frost giant's unreasonable treasure hunt. Shrek thought about it, and groaned with his fat chin: "Shrek, the gold and silver treasure, doesn't care, you get it, but if there are good things to improve intelligence, it must be left to Shrek!"
"I am very satisfied with my intelligence level and will not compete with you, but Brother Joan also needs treasures to improve his intelligence, which helps to enhance his ability to cast spells. You better talk to him to avoid getting fat. It hurt me to fight for the treasure," Clark said cautiously.
"Shrek will not let his friends suffer. Shrek, Shrek will give you enough compensation to satisfy you." The Ogre King promised Joan solemnly.
Joan was holding her teacup, and she couldn't help crying or laughing.
I didn't even see the shadow of the treasure at this time. I don't know if there is any so-called "enhancement of intelligence" treasure. Now I am anxious to discuss how to distribute it. What is the difference from the fantasy pie in the sky?
Looking at Shrek's expectant face, Joan couldn't bear to fight the mythical ogre with a little naive mind, and he proposed a more realistic idea.
"Mr. Shrek, if you need to improve your intelligence level, you don’t need to take risks to capture the "Wisdom of Wisdom" in the village of Povatan, and you don’t need to count on the illusory treasures. solve this problem."
"Well, Shrek did have such a plan. In fact, Shrek came to Prince's Harbor this time. Besides meeting with the old friend Clark, he also wanted to visit the shops and auction houses in the city to see if There are magnets that enhance intelligence."
The Ogre King spread his hands, his face helpless.
"Unfortunately, when I saw you, there was a disturbance, and I hurried out before shopping."
