162 Forest House (1/2)
Indeed, Lin Yun didn't see wrong, it truly was a carriage!
Jouyi wasn't polite with Lin Yun at all, he called a carriage from Thousand Sails City and even made Lin Yun pay the fee. It shook on its way to the ”far” Oddrock City.
When it was late in the evening, the carriage stopped at a small village near the Lullaby Forest.
Lin Yun gingerly went down, planning to find a hotel for the night.
Nothing could be done about it, he was the youngest of the three; moreover, Solomon was sick, and Jouyi was the master of the Cloud Tower. In any case, this could only fall on Lin Yun.
But Lin Yun discovered that Jouyi followed him down the carriage.
”It's okay, you can go back.” Lin Yun then saw Jouyi throw a small pouch of golds to the driver.
”Thank you, thank you…” The driver reached out to grab the golds while showing a pleased expression. There were at least a hundred golds in that pouch. Not to mention Thousand Sails City's fees, this was enough to buy ten such carriages.
”Sir Jouyi, this is…?” Seeing the driver leaving, Lin Yun was puzzled as he wondered, 'What is Jouyi up to?'
He used such a primitive way of moving to get there, but after reaching this small town, he spent a pouch of coins to send it back. Wasn't it superfluous? Could it be that he would call another carriage tomorrow? Or are they going to be using Flight to hurry on their way from here?
Lin Yun couldn't help looking at him with a strange expression.
If it weren't for Jouyi being old, Lin Yun would have asked if he was playing around, could he not tell this process annoying?
”I want to meet someone, you two follow me.”
”Ah?”
”Ah what? I won't make you run around for nothing…” Jouyi threw Lin Yun a displeased glance. Although he didn't know the meaning of the boy's gaze, Jouyi could guess that he was definitely not thinking anything friendly.
”Where are you going?” Hearing that he wouldn't be there in vain, Lin Yun's tone suddenly changed. After asking, he didn't forget to add, ”Oh yeah, can I borrow Black Death Rune for another three months?”
”...” Jouyi didn't say anything, but his expression was pitch-black as he led the two through the small village.
Soon, the three entered the Lullaby Forest.
The Lullaby Forest was located between Thousand Sails City and Oddrock City. Although this place wasn't Edge Rift, being occupied by a powerful Rock Troll clan, there were still many magic beasts walking through the forest. Most of them were magic beasts over level 20, and if one was lucky enough, or unlucky depending on the cases, they might even meet a level 30 magic beast. Although Thousand Sails City and Oddrock City had numerous mercenaries, only the first five ranked mercenary groups of each town would hunt in the Lullaby Forest.
Naturally, this was only for ordinary mercenary groups.
To the three that came tonight, it was just another matter altogether.
Of the three, one was a 9th Rank Archmage, one was a 9th Rank High Mage, and the weakest was a 5th Rank Great Mage. But that weakest just proved in Thousand Sails City that he had the strength to drag a 9th Rank High Mage with him to death.
This kind of group would rarely be found in the Andlusa kingdom. If they formed a mercenary group, maybe even the Silver Moon Mercenaries could only be crushed.
Of course, they wouldn't be that bored.
The three entered the Lullaby Forest, Jouyi in the lead, Solomon in the middle, and Lin Yun closing the formation. Like a charging bull, they rushed their way through the Lullaby Forest, and on the way, Lin Yun only did one thing, which was to maintain the Light spell's illumination. Everything else was left for Jouyi to handle.
At this time, besides a Runic Shield darkening and brightening at times on this peak Archmage's body, there was not the least bit of indication showing a spell being cast. But with this, not a single magic beast approached within thirty meters of Jouyi ever since he entered the Lullaby Forest.
Lin Yun saw a few magic beasts hidden in the thickets suddenly turning to ashes when they approached the thirty-meter boundary.
This kind of omnipotent, omnidirectional power made even Lin Yun feel alarmed. A few times, Lin Yun even pondered how long could he last if he was like one of those magic beasts... 10 seconds? Five seconds?
Jouyi used such a frightening method to leisurely stroll through the Lullaby Forest...
There was no need to mention Solomon...
Lin Yun had to keep the Light on, but besides coughing and walking, Solomon didn't move a single finger.
