Chapter 15

The perfect start to a chat with a girl, the topic is dead in just a few words.

After Noah finished speaking, he thought silently, and then sighed softly.

If he met a priest who looked so pleasing to his eyes outside the Black Forest, he might have a crush on him. After getting along for a while, he might simply feel that he had been given an excellent partner by God.

But this was not the place where they met. When they met here, he could only use ridicule to make her feel guilty. It would be best to leave here immediately and never want to see her again.

Winnie's face slowly became gloomy, and she slumped on the chair, as if she had lost her support.

If she didn't refute, the only thing she could do to fight back was to accuse this equally unseemly priest.

That had no effect, so she chose to endure Noah's identification of her.

The atmosphere became completely awkward. After hesitating for a moment, Noah opened the carriage door and flipped to the top.

The feeling of being stuffed in something like this was really bad, and Noah felt that he might be suffocated to death if he didn't go.

But after leaving the carriage, a familiar smell wafted from the surroundings. Noah frowned and realized that he had really arrived in the black forest.

He stepped on the ground mixed with green grass, and the dazed feeling he had just woken up after hanging up his package had completely disappeared.

Noah trotted along the line of carriages to the front.

But there is no one around, which is normal because everyone has something to do right now.

First, the four scouts will move at a speed several times that of other members in an elliptical area from one hundred meters in front to forty meters behind the carriage to collect intelligence.

Secondly, the knights will be divided into three and two groups to form a defense line in front and on the two sides. When the scouts discover danger, these fully armed guys will be the first to respond.

The task of guarding the carriage was given to two priests. Their task was relatively safe but related to everyone's lives. It would not be an exaggeration to say that it was the most important task.

Their marching time is basically determined by Anzola. She can go when she wants and stop when she wants. The rest time is very uncertain, but as long as they are moving forward, they must maintain such a formation.

Oh, this is the usual way for their empire to go out. And this time the multi-eyed team almost plays a supporting role.

As for support, there was no other job to do, so they all went to be scouts. Although Blacka had psychological shadow about walking in the front, because this guy almost ignored common sense perception, he was still pushed to the front.

And Noah's purpose of running ahead... is actually very simple.

He bent down and rummaged among the stones on the roadside, and soon found what he wanted.

It was a green crystal almost embedded in the ground.

Gemstones, which are regarded as luxury accessories in the outside world, can be found in the black forest, especially in places with many stones.

Such a large piece of money is almost like money outside, and Noah quite understands the value of this thing.

Most teams without a guide would not be able to go as deep as they did, but they would just circle around and get some gems or rare herbs.

Noah pulled a handful of long grass with white fruits from the other side, and he skillfully squeezed out the blue liquid from it and poured it into the vial.

The ingredients in the beverage dye called Blue Tears are substances proven to be beneficial to the human body, and they can be blended into any liquid and change color extremely quickly according to the original color and amount.

Because of this thing, many high-end wines from the outside world now use this thing to adjust their hue before selling it. It can only be collected in the black forest. As long as there is a buyer, it is a good thing that is far more valuable than gold.

If you really don’t see anything good, you can pull out the grass and cut off the roots. This stuff can also be used as medicine after being washed. Although it is relatively cheap, it is still expensive.

This is why money is not valuable in the Black Forest. The best thing to get in the Black Forest is money. Even if you just wander around the outpost all day collecting grass roots, you can earn much more than the jobs you can find outside.

The reason why others in the same group do not collect is simply because compared with their purpose, these things are not precious enough to waste time on. In the final analysis, what they want is not gold.

But all Noah wanted was gold. Since he was not alive yet, there was no problem in collecting these things in his spare time.

Winnie was sitting in the carriage, looking out of the window at Noah who was squatting on the roadside collecting things. She didn't know what kind of expression she should use to face him.

Should she despise this guy? But she didn't feel this way. Although he did have annoying behavior, he was also a person chosen by God. He couldn't be as simple a guy as he looked.

Because no matter what, this guy is favored by God, and God is willing to give him power. In a sense, God believes in this guy.

Among so many human beings, God is willing to believe this rotten man who loves money so much that people doubt that he would exchange other people's heads for gold. There are thousands of human beings to compare with him.

Then, he will definitely be recognized by God.

Winnie thought this way and observed this guy silently.

Since there were only two of them keeping the house, they had almost nothing to do.

Even the advancing earth dragons became extremely obedient because of Anzola's spell, and the convoy was able to move forward according to the original plan without relying on people.

Noah turned over a stone, scraped its surface with a dagger, tipped some of the dust into his hand and smelled it. He did not move, but cleared an open space along its edge.

"Can I get anything here?"

A girl's voice came from behind him, and Noah didn't look back. He knew it was Winnie.

She finally couldn't sit still anymore and left the carriage.

"It gives me peace of mind." Noah answered and showed her the dirt in his hand: "This is a newly turned stone. It was not turned over by our carriage. It was made by something."

"so what?"

"You can find footprints around here. If you can't find any footprints, you need to worry." Noah said: "The smell of the soil above can also be used to judge many things. Although it is useless information in most cases. But as long as it can be useful once

, it’s life-saving.”

Winnie didn't say a word. She watched the soil in his hand being covered with a strange light.

That was holy mana. Noah suddenly poured his holy mana into it. After a moment, it turned into dust.

This has no other meaning, it is purely used to prove that this is the land of the Black Forest.

From a long time ago, they have obtained the soil in the black forest, and after injecting holy mana, they will dissipate some black energy from it.

That's why it was named like this. In the long history, this energy has been named many, many times. For example, it is magic, but it is completely different from holy mana and the elements used in spells.

It wasn't until they were able to enter the Black Forest that humans truly experienced the changes this thing brings to people. This is a phenomenon now known as corruption.

The longer you stay in the black forest, the deeper the degree of corruption in your body. But until now, there is no real definition of the consequences of this corruption.

If I have to say it, this kind of thing should not be known even if it has brought consequences. Because this is the Black Forest. No matter what the reason is for not coming back, there is only one judgment of death. It will not be attributed to simple reasons.

The corrupted top.

"In short, no one has walked here." Noah stood up and said: "If the monster covered up the traces of movement, it would be another story. But at least now, we have not found the enemy."

"Are you so sure? Even the scouts haven't come back yet." Winnie said this, not in a questioning tone, but simply wanted to know why Noah made such a judgment.

"Maybe, but there is no news about the guide yet." Noah hesitated and said, "But having said that, where will the guide be? I have never followed the guide in the black forest, so I really don't know.

Where will that guy stay?"

"I haven't followed them a few times. Our guide before was a pig thief." Winnie said: "Most of the time it's not very dangerous. That guy knows how to keep us out of danger."

Noah was silent for a moment and did not answer.

"I have been curious since a long time ago, why those guys can accurately avoid danger and find the guide." Noah said softly: "There are also the supply of basic supplies by elves to humans, and the active appearance of goblins. This is simply like...

The Black Forest is taking the initiative to lower the difficulty for humans."

Winnie was stunned and looked at Noah, but Noah stopped talking and just subconsciously touched his chest.

He felt that that was all he had said, and he would be in trouble if he said more.

Unlike here where there is leisure, Blacka just feels like he is stuck in a quagmire.

Entering the black forest again, Blacka did not feel at ease.

He was afraid, subconsciously afraid of the unknown dangers in the dark forest.

Just like he was afraid of the monster that suddenly appeared from the jungle at that time, this kind of completely unknown thing might appear at any time. Even Blacka wouldn't be able to notice it.

In other words, all he could feel was hostility.

The monsters in the black forest are like assassins who don't have any breath before they attack. They are not hostile to Blacka, but he happens to pass by, and then they kill them as a game.

"What's going on here?"

The speaker was a very handsome man with long golden hair, wearing dark green light armor and landed next to Blacka.

He was one of the scouts. Unlike guys like Blacka who wore armor and were ready to fight, he was very light, making it easier for him to have a distant view from the height of the tree canopy.

Blacka was very close to the guy. Blacka didn't ask about his name yet. She just silently called him Golden Retriever in her heart.

"I didn't find anything." Blacka said softly, but she felt quite unsure.

He didn't find anything here, he just felt scared.

"People who are afraid are easy targets."

Blacka suddenly heard someone's voice. He turned his head slightly and looked at the guy standing next to him.

That was the guide of the undead, that is, Anzola. This guy was dressed the same as what he usually saw.

Blacka didn't answer, just looked at this guy confused.

Anzola is completely free to stay wherever he wants, and they have no right to order this guy to stay anywhere.

And inexplicably, these two guys suddenly appeared in front of him. Blacka didn't know how to deal with them.

"Can these monsters see fear?" Blacka asked softly. He didn't want the atmosphere here to be too tense. He should at least say something.

"I don't know about other things, at least monsters related to the undead can feel it." Anzola said: "Including me, I know that you are really not brave now."
