Chapter 127

"Stop."

Leaning on the branch of a big tree, Luca waved behind him with a tired face: "we'll spend the night here and move on after dawn."

There was only silence to answer him, and a slight sound came from the woods, which soon returned to calm, as if a flock of migratory birds had stopped here for a moment.

After learning that the big wall had an accident, Luca, who was even too late to be shocked, immediately gathered the only war dancers in the morning star forest and rushed to the place of the accident all night.

Among the war dancers, there was also a strange Wizard - Lauren Turin, who could not have been allowed to leave for some unspeakable reason and is still a "guest" in the morning star forest, quietly joined the team.

Although he still can't believe it, Luca always has a hunch that the crack in the big wall may not be a coincidence, but an inevitable thing, which is likely to hide some clues.

This is not only a crisis, but also probably an opportunity to let the elders in the settlement recognize the danger - if a human wizard can stand up and prove it, it may make his words more convincing.

Even just thinking about some possibilities would make Luca a little creepy. He was not afraid of Ogres, because he knew that these monsters could also be killed; But for some invisible, untouchable and completely unknown forces, he can't be afraid without confidence.

The fellow war dancers found some dry firewood, and the black haired wizard squatted down slowly. He gently snapped his fingers with his right hand, and there was a little more fire at the fingertip of his left hand. He touched it gently and lit the campfire.

"Very interesting."

A fellow war dancer wizard looked at him curiously from behind and said with a very sincere smile: "is this... The power of a wizard?"

"Some wizards, we usually call ourselves spellcasters." Loren looked at each other sideways. This is a genie who looks very gentle. Her dark brown hair only goes below her earlobe and looks very capable: "as for other wizards, they have completely different powers."

"Euena." the Female Elf took the initiative to stretch out her right hand and showed a friendly smile: "it's a great honor to meet you, er... 'Mr. caster'."

"Just call me Loren." the black haired wizard shrugged his shoulders and shook hands with the female elves. "I thought most Elves were as wary of humans as thieves."

"This good old man is the exception!"

Some "bad looking" Leia came over and swept her eyes coldly from Lauren's face: "don't get into trouble with this guy, euena. If it weren't for his crow mouth, there would be no accident to the big wall!"

"Leia!" the war dancer named euena looked at her friend: "I know you must be in a bad mood now, but you can't throw your resentment to innocent people, and you are still willing to help our friends!"

"If this friend hadn't dragged down the speed, we would have been in the big wall now." Liya, who was still unconvinced, refuted: "don't be too kind to him. This guy is a complete liar and will be fooled by him if you're not careful!"

The dark haired wizard chuckled and said nothing more.

"That must be a last resort. He lied only when he was forced." euena shook her head: "he looks very kind. He doesn't look like a villain who will deliberately hurt others."

"I really won't deliberately hurt people, but I can't hear the truth!" Leia snorted coldly: "if you've seen it with your own eyes, you'll understand, this guy..."

"Enough!"

Luca, who turned around, roughly interrupted the conversation between the two people, frowning: "we still have a way to catch up tomorrow. Keep quiet - euena, you go to watch the middle of the night, I'll take charge of the second half of the night, and the rest of the people have a good rest!"

"Yes!" euena gave a capable promise and smiled at Loren before leaving. "When you come back, please tell me something about magic. I'm really curious."

"That's my pleasure." Lauren, who shrugged his shoulders and promised, just looked back and saw another female ELF's unfriendly expression: "what's the matter?"

"Take away your smelly claws and don't touch her." Leia stared and said word by word, "euena is my best friend. No one can hurt her hair."

"... did I say something that is particularly easy to cause misunderstanding?"

Some helpless Loren pulled the corners of his mouth, and a bird named "Asriel" gave a very appropriate cry, which made him move his eyes to another direction.

It has been a day and a night since we started from the morning star forest, and the team has only dozens of war dancers, so we are moving forward very fast. If the so-called "cracks in the big wall" is really related to the ogre, it should be visible now.

But so far, Loren and his party still haven't met any ogres, even their footprints and traces of their path have not been found. It's a completely peaceful scene, and even makes him arrive a little abnormal.

Certainly not because they were all missed, or did it have nothing to do with the ogres, just a sudden accident; And the undetected ogre did not invade from the gap?

If that's the case, you'll be lucky.

"One more day," murmured Luca, sitting around the campfire, "until tomorrow evening, if there is no accident, we will reach the big wall."

Lauren nodded silently - no matter what happened, good or bad, everything will be revealed.

"I'm sorry to involve you. It should not be needed at all." Luca looked at Loren with some apology: "I'm just too worried. The big tree wall is very important to the elves in the morning star forest and even the whole ancient wood forest! Even a little accident will..."

"I know what you want to do and I can understand your mood - this kind of thing, anyone will be as safe as possible." Loren patted him on the shoulder and comforted, "you're just doing your duty."

"Could it be some kind of... 'magic'?" Leia guessed and asked, staring at Loren's face: "can you wizards do it?"

"If you just put down an ancient tree and push it to a wall - indeed, there are many ways we can do this. But according to your tone, it's more like a natural disaster."

Sighed, the black haired wizard shook his head: "as far as I know, no wizard can attract lightning or storm. As for magic... Such a powerful magic cost is also very heavy, and no wizard can afford it."

The power of any spell is the feedback of the power of the void. In other words, while using magic, the wizard's body must withstand the erosion of the void - for the vast majority of wizards, this upper limit is very low. If it exceeds the limit, there is a risk of brain burst.

"If it wasn't magic, would there be anything else?" Luca asked tentatively, with some hesitation in his eyes: "some... Ghosts, or demons?"

"Who knows?" was clearly answering the other party's Loren, but used a rhetorical question. The same eyes full of doubt stared at Asriel not far away, as if looking for the answer.

Is the guy you met unique, or do you have many "little friends"?

"In short, we must get to the big wall first to determine what happened." Loren continued: "at least we haven't met an ogre yet. Maybe it's a good thing..."

Before he finished, Loren suddenly turned back when he heard the sound, and the surrounding war dancers stood up and looked around in the moonlight.

"Uh, ah, ah --!!!!!!"

The shrill scream sounded from the forest, and then came the heavy roar of the ogre!

"You damn crow mouth, I will kill you, I swear!" Leah, who kicked Lauren, had picked up her spear and rushed to the direction of the scream like flying leaves:

"Euena --!"
