Chapter 153: Avoidance
"Warner" is not only the sun god, but also the protector of travelers and the supporter of commerce and agriculture.
The alternation of day and night on the Irish continent is described in "The Legend of the Gods of Ireland" as a contract between the sun god Warner and the lady of the night Nocturnal - the two are not allowed to invade each other's territory.
As soon as Warner's light shone on the earth, Ivan and others set out. The rustling sound last night made everyone almost think that it was a robber attack. It turned out that it was actually a lost rabbit, but Ivan and others did not
I didn’t dare to light a fire to enjoy the “breakfast” that I had delivered to my door.
What? Are you so naive that you think the rabbit was so lucky to escape?
Then you are still too immodest.
The cute little rabbit couldn't escape Ivan's poisonous hand, and he immediately used an explosion magic to roast the rabbit inside and out.
Although the meat was basically burnt black and had a mushy smell that was neither pleasant nor delicious, Ivan, whose stomach had been growling all night, would not dislike it too much.
"Here, young man." The uncle, the two-handed swordsman among the five, threw him three pieces of honey bread.
"Thanks……"
In fact, after a day of communication, this small escape team has become quite familiar with each other.
The two-handed swordsman uncle is called Eric Simon. The youngest among the five of them is their archer Markarth, followed by the scout Saruman - a man who is also not young and unsmiling. The guy with the injured leg is called Ba
Luo, he always clamored to kill more enemies, and the last one was called Potter by everyone.
After fully enjoying the breakfast delivered to their door(?), everyone embarked on their escape journey again.
The primitive forest where Ivan and others are located is almost entirely made up of towering thousand-year-old trees. The forest is neat and early-growing. The trees are tall. There are thousands of big trees with a diameter at breast height of more than 50 centimeters, and the trees are all in the 100s.
For hundreds of thousands of years, they stood together and stretched out their branches, even completely blocking the blue sky.
According to the research of some scholars on the mainland, this is also one of the best primitive forest communities in the north. The trees are vigorous and the branches are low and thick, forming a long and narrow pure forest belt. The trunks are densely covered with moss and lichen, and the hanging silk flowers are beautiful and elegant, full of mystery.
.
But for Ivan and others who were running for their lives, this was not a good thing.
There was no road, no sun, and no open space in the forest. They couldn't even take a moment's rest when they were running for their lives!
In this huge primitive dense forest, there are various dangerous animals and monsters lurking, countless insects that spread diseases, the plants are always crawling with big biting ants, and even Escala blood-sucking ants can be seen everywhere.
Locusts), and under the moist leaf layer on the ground there is often slippery, soft mud and rotten wood. Tangled vines and messy creeping plants make walking more difficult.

Walking in this environment and the sultry climate in the forest can't help but make Ivan a little irritable.
, at this moment, Hill suddenly pulled Ivan's sleeve, and at the same time he saw Saruman's raised right hand.

The right hand rises.
The entire team stopped, holding their breath and concentrating, leaning forward slightly, with the sword blades in their hands pointing in a certain direction.
The silence lasted for a while, but no one relaxed. Eric and others believed in their scouts and Saruman's decades of experience as a scout, while Ivan was more direct. He trusted the scout unconditionally.
Just a girl.
The unexpected situation finally came, but everyone was already prepared.
Only a "swish" sound was heard, and an arrow shot through the air from the trees, breaking the suffocating silence. What was even more amazing was that the two-handed swordsman actually caught the arrow with his bare hands!
"Haha, we have met again. You are really easy for us to find." Zaku's smiling face that has never changed for thousands of years appeared in front of them.
"If possible, I hope it is best to never see you again."
"Don't be so cold, hahaha."
"Stop talking nonsense to them and tell me, where is the crown?" Izar said.
"What crown?"
"Galifar's Crown!"
Ivan has heard of this name. It should be said that very few people living in the North have not heard of this name.
The Galifar Empire is not only one of the most powerful countries in the north, but also on the mainland.
But this is all in the past tense.
Nowadays, the huge shadow of the Galifar Empire is no longer visible. The empire split since the Fourth Era. The source of today's Ivalisait, Ferni and Tissendunz is the Galifar Empire before it was split.
Speaking of which, all of this has a great relationship with the demon clan.
Before the Last War, the Galifar Empire was originally a peaceful land, famous for its handicrafts. But during the Last War between humans and demons, the north was the first place to suffer from demonic disasters, and the Galifar Empire at that time was a gas
After Kaya, the leader of the Northern Alliance is always on the front line of the final war between humans and demons.
When the smoke cleared, people discovered that basically all the royal family of the Galifar Empire, including the king, had been sacrificed. After the war, the empire was relatively stable for a while, but it didn't take long before civil strife broke out because the kings were dissatisfied.
This led to the division of the empire.
Because of the fearlessness of Galifar's royal family during the Last War between Humans and Demons, the people of the original empire relatively recognized the statement that "whoever inherits Galifar's crown" is the real king. In fact, other melon-eating people on the continent
Most people think so. (Note: The ancestor of King Galifar was born in a big storm, so he also believed that he was the birth of the god of storms, and his crown was also called the Storm Crown.)
However, in the flames of war that divided the empire, the crown had long been lost and nowhere to be found, but the three empires never gave up looking for it, and this situation continues to this day.
After working for a long time, it turned out that these people were here for the "Storm Crown". No wonder these snatchers were well-trained and well-equipped. They turned out to be regular troops.
"Hand it over!"
"You are not worthy of this crown at all. Do you need others to remind you of what you Ivalise have done?"
"That thing originally belonged to our Grand Duke Antas."
"Grand Duke Antas? He is just an ungrateful villain! What qualifications do you have to get his hands on King Galifar's crown?"
"You're looking for death! Catch them!"
"Go west!" whispered the two-handed swordsman.
West? So this uncle and the other four people are all from the Principality of Ferni?
Without enough time to think carefully, Ivan had no choice but to hold a sword in one hand and rush westward following Porter in front...
At night, Ivan and others broke out of the siege with their personal strength and good cooperation. In fact, thanks to the reminder of the little girl and Saruman, they were keenly aware of the enemy's movements, which led to the Ivalisei's attack.
The encirclement was not completed before the attack was forced to begin.
"So, these bandits are all Ivaliseans?"
"Yes, the robbers who attacked the convoy are not robbers at all. They are soldiers and knights, regular troops of Ivalise."
"So, Galifar's crown... is indeed true?"
Eric was silent and did not answer this question, but Ivan already knew the exact answer.
"I really can't believe all this, but there are only five of you..."
"We originally thought that Ivalise would never know that the crown fell into our hands, because even we ourselves got this thing by an accident..." said the old scout Saruman.
"So the plan between the country and us was to use the joint convoy of the Chamber of Commerce every three months as a cover to secretly bring the crown back to Ferni, but I don't know who leaked the news, and Ivalice set up an ambush.
." Potter added on the side.
"So, I hope you can help us return the Storm Crown to Ferni." Eric Simon looked at the three Ivans with a sincere face. After the chase battle with the Ivalisei just now, he could really see clearly.
Knowing the strength of the three young people in front of him, if he can get their help, the certainty of returning to Ferni will undoubtedly be greatly improved.
Ivan hesitated. In fact, he did not have any special political stance. In his mind, who among the three countries, Ivalise, Ferni or Tissendunds, could get the "Crown of Galifar"
It has nothing to do with him at all.
He did not want or have the ability to intervene in the game between the three behemoths. He knew that stepping into this storm easily would only make his situation more dangerous.
But can he really escape from the forest without the help of Eric and the other five? He, Hill and Xiaohong have all been marked by the Ferni Principality in the eyes of Zaku and the Ivalises, and they will not leave any
Surround yourself with all your strength.
Moreover, what Ivalise did left a very bad impression in Ivan's mind. The person who did such a cruel act, the king they are most proud of, is really worthy of receiving this crown that symbolizes justice and glory.
Storm Crown?
After thinking about this, Ivan nodded heavily.
"good!"
