Because the team didn't go fast, they didn't rush to the next town before dark. The caravan leader familiar with this area quickly found a ruin of an elf suitable for setting up a camp.
When it arrived at the ruins of the elves, it was already dark. Most of the convoys stayed in the ruins and arranged camps. Several attendants of the cavalry team said they would go out to play a bit of prey. Leo and Sylvia also took the initiative to stand Come out and join the ranks of hunting.
After some chats during the day, the other people in the team already knew that Leo and Sylvia, two knights from abroad, but they did not think that the two were knights, because they did not wear knight armor, wear knight swords, etc. Standard equipment, and there is a female among them, which is very different from the knights in people's perception, so even if no one in the team accuses the two of them as scammers, but no one admits their knighthood.
However, the wandering knights did not deny Leo and Sylvia’s self-proclaimed knighthood. As wandering knights, they also fell apart. It’s not without selling their armor and knight swords for their livelihood, and they also know There are indeed female knights in some countries. In addition, they have also contacted many nobles. It can be seen that the talk and clothing of Leo and Sylvia are definitely not ordinary people. This also made them doubtful of Leo's words.
Now Leo and Sylvia offered to go out to hunt, which made the old knight a little suspicious, because he had encountered robbers pretending to be wandering knights before, and then he should go out and attack the knight patrol team at night, so he secretly Instruct the attendants who are also going out to hunt, let them secretly observe the actions of the two, to judge whether Leo and Sylvia are hidden dangers.
Although the command of the old knight was very low, neither Leo nor Sylvia could easily hear his voice, and they did not show any anomalies about this, but they were happy to see the result, because it was the only way to let him Only then can I reassure the wandering knight, otherwise no matter how I explain the wandering knight, it is impossible to be at ease with the origin of the two.
After leaving the ruins of the elves, several people came into a forest, and several attendants began to arrange traps, took out bows and arrows, and searched for prey, but they saw Leo and Sylvia standing empty-handed without any action. One of the attendants Can't help but mock: "Mr. Leo, Miss Sylvia, don't you need to use tools to hunt French people? Or do you French people have special abilities like warlocks that can let prey run into your arms?" Come here?"
Leo ignored these people's ridicule and turned to look at Sylvia, saying, "Come on, or will I?"
"Let's come!" Sylvia said, taking out his crossbow, seemingly casually shooting two arrows at a dark area in the woods, and then in the eyes of everyone puzzled, re-handed the crossbow Hung around his waist.
Leo Mai stepped towards the dark wood, and after a while, he saw him carrying four fat rabbits out. The two arrows shot by Sylvia just penetrated the two. The head of a rabbit.
Seeing this scene, the throats of all the knight's attendants swallowed involuntarily, feeling a little cold in the neck, and a little awe in the eyes of Sylvia.
"Please continue." After taking the rabbit from Leo, Sylvia turned to the knight's attendants, and then went to the camp with Leo.
Leo and Sylvia had just left and came back with four prey, which naturally surprised the people in the camp, but the attention of ordinary people is different from the prey. The wandering knights are more It is noticed that the wounds on the prey are all through the two rabbits with one arrow, which means that the person who made the shot is definitely not a coincidence, it is done with absolute strength.
"A man?" a wandering knight whispered.
"No, it's a woman." The other wandering knight with good eyesight gestured at the crossbow hanging from Sylvia's waist.
"This kind of person still claims to be a knight, even if he uses a bow and crossbow. I think they are scammers!" a wandering knight who had just joined the knightly group said disdainfully.
The other wandering knights around heard that there was no echo or rebuttal. Only a wandering knight patted the man on the shoulder and went to do his own thing, making the man look inexplicable.
The old knight Capello, who is the leader of this team, did not explain to the newcomer. Some ways of thinking need to be experienced to be transformed, otherwise it would be useless to say more, because this is his personal experience. .
As a newcomer who has just become a wandering knight and has not really experienced the cruelty of the world, they still have the glory and rules of the knight in their minds when they became knights. For example, the knight must face the enemy, the knight cannot use rules such as crossbows, but only become The talents of the wandering knight for many years know that life is the most important thing, as long as they can fight in that way, and even if necessary, the knight will even use a pitchfork, a seemingly crude, but powerful magic weapon.
It is not that no knight will always abide by the rules of the knight and act according to the knight's code of conduct. Such people will either die on the way forward, or they have become knight models and stand on top of everyone.
Leo and Sylvia did not pay attention to the knights' attention. They will take the four rabbits to the caravan's chef to deal with it. Two of them will be paid for the treatment, and the other two will be eaten by themselves.
After solving the food problem, Leo found a relatively flat open space in the ruins, swept away any dust on it at any time, found some hay, and spread it on the ground.
At this time, Sylvia seemed to be attracted by the reliefs from the elven kingdom on the ruins.
After handling the rest camp, Leo walked to Sylvia's side and watched the beautiful patterns on it.
"Have you heard of elves?" Sylvia asked quietly.
In the world of Velen, there are folk legends and fairy tales, but there are no species like elves,
In the past two days, when Sylvia practiced the language, the most asked question to others was what kind of race the elves were.
It’s just that the answers given by the locals are all different. Most of them replace the name of the elf with a hostile name like pointed ears, so all the information she finally got is only here where the elven kingdom was once. The kingdom was destroyed by Tao Sent, and even the elves were killed. The people of Tao Sent hated the elves, and Tao Sent did not have information such as elves.
Although from the local people's words, elves have become almost synonymous with inferiority, but from the architectural form of elven ruins and the exquisite decoration on the ruins of the ruins, Sylvia can see that the elves have a very unique understanding of beauty. It's as unbearable as the local population.
"This pattern imitates the trend of vines, just a decorative pattern, but..." Leo looked at the pattern on the broken wall and analyzed the contents. His fingers followed the pattern's trend to the end, and the end did not Not a flower, but a symbol, saying: "This symbol is somewhat like the rune of the town on the lake. If there is no damage, there should be some extraordinary strength here."
"Being able to apply extraordinary power to architecture, it seems that the elven kingdom here should have a very high civilization, and among these elves should also have many extraordinary people." Sylvia said with doubt: "But why would they be defeated by the people of Tao Sent, even by the slaughter? It seems that there are not many people with extraordinary powers in Tao Sent, just rely on these knights? Even if there are more than one hundred such knights, just rely on You and I can easily solve them."
Leo was stunned when he heard Sylvia’s words, turned to look at her, and asked, "Is there no effect on you?"
"Impact? What effect?" Sylvia looked at Leo puzzled.
Leo asked again: "Is the power in your body restricted?"
"No?" Sylvia replied immediately, but perhaps felt that some of the answers were too urgent, and checked her body carefully before shaking her head for sure, saying, "No, there are no restrictions. Is your power limited?"
"Some are restricted." Leo answered briefly.
He found himself somewhat misunderstood, because he had entered other worlds more than once in the past, and he was accustomed to being more or less restricted to enter the other worlds. For example, in his body, the powers that belong to the imprint of the world’s gods are all useless. Including the power of the real eye, in addition to psionic power, only the power of nightmare and the power of a few external gods can be used.
Under the influence of inertial thinking, Leo also thought that Sylvia's power was also limited, and Sylvia did not say that he was worried, but he did not expect him to completely misunderstand, Sylvia's power was not limited at all. , Naturally there is nothing to say.
This also makes Leo a little embarrassed, and it seems to be similar to the self-love in the book. In order to ease this embarrassment, Leo opened the topic and said: "Do you want to explore?"
"Expedition?" Sylvia saw Leo was a little embarrassed, but just didn't know why he was embarrassed. Now when he saw him digress, he asked the river in a hurry: "Did you find a secret room like the Elven Kingdom?" of?"
"There is a secret room." Leo nodded.
"Isn't it? There is really a secret room." Sylvia immediately became interested and asked, "What's in the secret room? Treasure?"
Leo explained: "It's not clear, there is some power in the chamber, I can't perceive the situation inside."
"Go, go and see!" Sylvia immediately became excited.
At the urging of Sylvia, Leo asked the caravan people for two torches. Although the recorder in his hand can make light, it is not easy to explain if it is seen.
After getting the torches, the two turned around and walked out of the open space where the camp was, walked around the edge of the ruins to the other side, a place like a courtyard, where there are not only some broken stone benches, but also Many broken statues, covered with a lot of vines, make people feel a kind of inexplicable bleak.
Leo and Sylvia’s actions were not hidden. They were naturally seen in the eyes of the wandering knights, and they guessed what they were going to do, but the knights did not send someone to follow up to see if they could find something. Treasures like the heritage of the Elven Kingdom, because they think the two are doing useless work.
In the past few years, not only officials from the Principality of Taosent have repeatedly searched and found all valuable items that can be found, even the statues have been demolished, and even some treasure hunters, robbers and poor knights etc. After repeatedly searching through the ruins of these elves, they took the last fish out of the net.
Like the ruin of this elf, it is right next to the main road of the Principality. There were once bandit groups stationed here. How could such a place still have valuable things.
Therefore, all the wandering knights, including the old Knight of Capello, think that Leo and Sylvia are two foreigners who are curious about the ruins of the elves. When they see the ruins of the elves, they think of the stories of the bard population. They thought they were the protagonists in the story. In fact, they could only find a pile of dust, which also made them wait for the joke when two foreigners came back.
In the ruined small garden, Leo’s spiritual web penetrated into the surrounding underground, carefully perceiving the underground situation, and said: "These elves not only mastered extraordinary powers, but also know how to make some exquisite machinery."
Talking, he saw that he came to one of the broken statues, squatted down, and found a relief on the base~EbookFREE.me~Finger stretched into the eyes of the monster relief, pulling it out slightly, just Pull the relief out, rotate it two more times and press it back into the previous groove.
Then there was a very weak vibration on the ground, and there were two abnormal sounds from the pool in the middle of the garden. The water in the pool quickly fell and quickly saw the bottom.
When the water was flowing, a large stone in the middle began to sink slowly, revealing a pothole and a ladder down.
Because the ladder was made of wood, after years of complete decay, Leo signaled himself to go down to explore the path, jumped directly from the opening, and quickly landed on the ground. At the same time, he used the power of nightmares to imitate the demon hunter. Fayin lit a torch and took photos around him.
At the same time when the light appeared below, Sylvia above also clearly saw the situation in the chamber. Before waiting for Leo to open, he could not wait to jump from the top and landed firmly on Leo's side.
"Even after so many years, this place is still full of powerful energy." Leo looked at the surrounding scenes, exclaiming, while trying to use the spiritual network to detect the surroundings. As a result, he found that there was a large amount of energy around him that interfered with the spiritual network, so he no longer used the spiritual network forcibly, but handed over the task of exploration to the perception of various parts of the body.
