Dragon and knight Ji gl

Early the next morning, Leif and Natia Vida woke up at the top of the hill.

After driving southward for nearly a whole day, the two finally stopped.

During the rush?, Leif followed the guidance of Natia Vida.I don't know if it was a coincidence, or Natia Vida did it on purpose, but on the way, I almost never passed through human settlements, and I didn't even meet any human beings who were alone.

Did Natia Vida? Didn't say "arrive" to Lev, but just by the sight in front of her, Lev knew that this was their destination.

At dusk, most of the clouds in the cloud-thin sky near the poles seem to converge here.

The sky is dark blue as the background color, and red, yellow, and purple clouds are entangled together, forming a mysterious pattern.

The pure white ice and snow layer on the ground is also shrouded in darkness. The iron-black, tall trees lacking twigs and leaves are like huge and sharp awls, piercing straight into the air, forming a silhouette-like black forest.

The scene in front of her felt very familiar to Leif. She checked her face and glanced at Natia Vida, thinking of the Dragon Castle that Natia Vida once took her transformed into a villain to. Surrounded by such a black tree.

Looking at the center of the black forest, a hot feeling rose from the inside out.

Leff took a deep breath, and the salty smell of the ocean in the air was replaced by an iron smell.

Because it was getting late, Leif didn't plan to enter the black forest immediately.

For one thing, if you go in now, I'm afraid it will be completely dark when you confront the enemy.Compared with daytime battles, how many points are there in the night? Variables.Moreover, Leif's weapon comes with a "radiant" effect. The golden-red light makes it extremely conspicuous in the dark, making her completely invisible. The enemy can hide in the dark.In short, fighting in the dark will give her more disadvantages.

Second, before the battle, it is necessary to trim and adjust the state.She has been driving for two days. Although she doesn't feel obviously tired, she still needs rest to recover her best condition.

Her martial skills and combat experience are among the top-notch among the knights participating in the assessment. Pull, dragon saliva as a medical measure... If the knight with weapons and medical measures inferior to her can pass the assessment, then this assessment should be relatively easy for Leif, but she will not underestimate the enemy because of this.

Leif could obviously feel that under the influence of the polar blue light, her self-confidence was a little inflated, so she tried her best not to let herself rush forward.

The two walked to a position more than ten feet away from the black forest and observed for a while. They heard the roar of beasts coming from the forest, and felt the real malice around them...

Leif probably decided on the location where he would enter the Black Forest tomorrow, and then retreated a few hundred feet with Natia Vida, clearing out a clean space as a place to rest at night.

As she estimated the battle she might encounter tomorrow, she waited for dark.As a result, after waiting for a long time, the sky was still at dusk, the sun still stayed on the western skyline without sinking, and the clouds in the sky rolled freely, as if time had frozen at this moment.

As she approached the real battle site, the taciturn Natia Vida became more and more silent these days, sticking to the principle of the examiner, didn't she take the initiative to remind Leif, and just followed Leif all the time.

Strictly speaking, Natia Vida did not violate the examiner's principles before.Helped her determine the location and rescued people in advance, but as for any information about the decisive battle - except for the location - Natia Vida didn't? revealed anything.

Leif doesn't know how many waves of enemies there will be, the species of the enemies, or the location and strength of the spiritual body...

After feeling drowsy, Lev took two elven tears in advance, and then went to Natia Vida's side, hugged the latter's arm, rubbed his head against Natia Vida's clothes, and found a Comfortable place to rest.

Leff fell asleep watching the stars last night, and his back was crushed by the hard ground for most of the night. When he woke up, he didn't think about the system backpack? There are still a lot of fabrics that can be used for padding.But tonight, for some reason, he still didn't bother to take out the cloth, and just hugged Natia Vida to keep warm.

--

About one night later, Leff woke up automatically, subconsciously raised his hand to cover the light, and then opened his eyes.However, the setting sun still stayed in the western sky, no different from the position she saw before falling asleep. The brilliant sunset glow was still flowing in the dark blue sky.

Leff stared at the sky for a while, judging whether his current situation was in the middle of sleep? Woke up halfway, or overslept and slept for a whole day and night.Gradually fully awake.

Naturally, she couldn't accurately remember the position of each cloud. However, after looking at the sky for a while, she still noticed that there seemed to be some regularity and repetition in the movement of the flowing clouds.

Leif sat up straight, stretched her neck, looked at Natia Vida aside and said, "Is this the second day?"

Natia Vida had already got up, and when she heard Leif's question, she seemed to be judging whether the answer was in line with the examiner's principles, and she was taken aback for a moment before saying: "Yes."

"It's not dusk now?" Leif said.

Natia Vida said: "Morning."

Leif realized that after seeing the Black Forest, she and Natia Vida had entered an isolated field.Although it can be reached through the polar ice sheets, it is a world of its own.

——The remaining picture scrolls made by the holy land elves can be regarded as an independent small space, and this place is a small space within the small space.This once again proved that the abilities of the magic dragon and the holy land elves overlap.

An independent space in an independent space...

Leff couldn't help but think of last night—no, the traces of the holy land elves I saw in the night sky the night before.The heart is in the remaining picture scroll? Since another independent space can be created, there may be a layer of space nested inside the independent space in the independent space.

If the holy land elves are willing, this kind of nesting may go on... I don't know how many layers to reach the limit?

It's a pity that she doesn't have the ability to create space, so she can't verify this conjecture... Leif glanced at Natia Vida, because this question is a bit inconsistent to ask now, so she didn't dare to ask it.

Perhaps it was because Lev's expression was too obvious, Natia Vida glanced at her, then said in a teaching tone, "Theoretically it is feasible, but in practice it is not feasible. The remaining In the space at the head of the picture scroll, you can understand the twisting of the rules within a certain limit—making the section of the space at a certain moment separated from the surrounding time and operating independently—also by means of prying Activate the ability obtained by 'eternal'.

"Reversing the rules within a certain limit, monsters also have this ability. For example, the prophet beast can improve its own strength as the strength of the enemy on the ground increases. The fire skylark can make people who enter the abandoned palace see hallucinations. Leander Mr. Mr. Can turn a man who refuses to marry a daughter into a woman in the Dan Sai Desert... These are all twists and turns of the rules to varying degrees.

"And if multiple sets of rules are repeated, then these rules are either fused into one set of rules, or stronger rules override weaker rules, or different rules are applied in different fields... and want to be in a similar Form a layer-by-layer nested structure in the rules of the field, and let the rules generally not interfere with each other, many conditions need to be met, and it is almost impossible to succeed."

Lev nodded and withdrew his curiosity.

"Let's go now?" Natia Vida asked.

Lev tidied up her hair and clothes, stood up, and picked up the knife that was set aside.

The villain in red, who has been avoiding appearing with the magic dragon recently, is also ready to climb onto Leif's head? Squatting down, his bulging face is full of determination.

Laif held Medra on his head, raised the knife above his head, and said, "Let's go."

--

Leif walked towards the entrance chosen yesterday.

Natia Vida was a few steps behind, following Leif.

Soon at the edge of the Black Forest, Leif stopped suddenly, stared at a black tree on the edge for a while, then suddenly raised the knife and slashed down.

The machete wrapped in a dragon leather sheath can cut even an epee. After the blade touched the tree, it passed through with almost no effort.

Leif retracted the knife, and the tree fell to one side, smashing several other black trees around it, and then got stuck on a branch? It stopped.

After a while.

The upper part of the arbor separated from the bottom disappeared out of thin air, while the bottom pile grew rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye, and in an instant it returned to the state before Leif cut the tree.

Leif then went back to cutting the tree, watched the arbor fall, recover, and continue cutting.

Didn't Medra? He didn't get Leif's instructions. Seeing that Leff's tree cutting was interesting, he also imitated it.She was too small to withstand the impact of the tree, so she found a branch of a suitable size and bent and broke it over and over again.

Natia Vida has already come here to explore the vicinity, don’t you think it’s included in this assessment? For Leif now, is there any opponent worthy of attention? This assessment was even a little dull.

Leif's heart and potential have gradually raised her expectations. Even though she still has some worries, she has gradually learned not to take care of everything.

Since this assessment can be passed with certainty, Natia Vida also decided not to do unnecessary things or say unnecessary words, but to let Leif perform on her own.

Seeing that the knight girl suddenly began to fight with the black tree, and it lasted for a long time... Natia Vida couldn't help but wonder if there was anything here? She was about to go up to the danger detected by her.

Leff finally stopped destroying the trees, took off the little red figure from the tree, put it on his head, and walked towards the black forest.

After only two steps, Leif suddenly stopped again, swung the knife and cut down all the surrounding trees in a small circle, and about half of the felled trees fell towards the middle, forming a very tall and extremely tall tree. Leif was trapped in a narrow pointed cage.

The knight girl turned around in the pointed cage, pointed at the upper part of a disappearing tree with the tip of her knife, and then pointed at the growing stake, and said to her, "Lord Natia Vida, Don't you think it's amazing?"

"Amazing..." Natia Vida couldn't understand Leif's meaning, "...you mean..."

"...It will disappear after being cut down, and it will regenerate when the top is cut off." Leif blinked her pure black godless eyes, "Isn't it amazing?"

Fortunately, it seems that Ms. Knight's reaction is only due to lack of knowledge.

Natia Vida let go of her worries and nodded.

"Well, it's so strange that I'm so rare. Lord Natia Vida just explained to me that this is also a distortion of the rules. The tree that grows again and the cloud that repeats the movement are all the same? ——I It should have been thought of earlier." Leff pursed her lips, and when the cage that trapped her disappeared completely, she turned around and continued to explore the way forward.

The reason why she felled the trees just now was because the constant sky reminded her of the grass outside Ed's village? The green grass that would never disappear and would always recover after being gnawed by Lily.

After leaving Ed Village, although she saw too many things more magical than that piece of grass, after all, that piece of grass constituted her first impression of this fantasy world—after seeing that piece of grass that obviously possessed supernatural power Before seeing the green grass, she always thought that this world was just a normal ancient world; after seeing the green grass, she remembered the Novice Village in "The Knight and the Princess".

She has always regarded that piece of green grass as one of the evidences that this world is false, and the green grass that will change even if it changes for a while, and then will soon restore it as a reminder to her.

Remind her: Even if she can have some impact on the world, the world will eventually return to its original state like the grass; the world is just in a "bigger cycle", but the recovery process is slower than the grass Just several times.Afterwards, the lifelike false images created by the Fire Skylark, and the cycle that lasted for thousands of years in the Dansai Desert... the seemingly real and false scenes in the remaining scrolls seem to be repeating the same reminder.

Whenever she establishes a friendship with someone, she thinks "he or she will forget me after all", so she intentionally puts up a barrier in her heart and regards the other person as her in novels and comics The interested fictional characters that Li? sees are ready to say goodbye when they meet.Even if Natia Vida does show something she loves, she can only treat it as a charming, doomed villain, not with much real emotion.

She really can't be completely free from emotional interference.

However, even with Heidan, even if she has a constant connection with this world, even if she can't continue to be a coward in front of this connection... She still thinks of that piece of grass from time to time.

Every time I am happy because of someone in this world, and every time I feel a sense of accomplishment because of something I have accomplished, the grief and sense of indifference like a hatching maggot always follow.She felt that there was no benefit in showing these emotions, so she suppressed them; she didn't intend to think about them, but she just needed some signals, and they would be triggered.

Just now... when she saw the floating clouds in the sky, she would still understand this as a cycle, but perhaps because of her understanding of "eternity", she suddenly gained a kind of A very different perspective.

——The piece of green grass that always recovers does not prove that this world is false, but a phenomenon that can be explained by the laws of the internal operation of different time and space; it cannot prove that all the things she does in this world are meaningless and regular Distortion only focused? On a limited scale.

Afraid that she might make a mistake, she cut down the tree over and over again, remembering a feature on the tree every time, and then compared it after the tree recovered, and finally confirmed that the recovery of the tree was the same as that of Ed The condition of the grass outside the village was exactly the same.

And Natia Vida's reaction proves that it is not uncommon for the green grass outside the village of Ed and the trees here?

After entering the black forest, there are no different trees around. Leif uses the position of the sun to determine his direction. After walking for a while, he suddenly has a flash of inspiration. A black tree said: "Master Natia Vida, can you try to spit a little fire here?"

Natia Vida tried to guess Leif's intention of making this request, but she couldn't find a clue.

In the past few days, Miss Knight often does things that she doesn't quite understand, and says things that confuse her.Although it wasn't the first time Miss Knight had words and deeds that made her unable to figure it out, but the frequency of things she couldn't figure out recently was indeed abnormally high.

Human beings are indeed weak and complex creatures, while the lady knight seems simple, but in fact it is extremely complicated... It is really not easy to raise the lady knight well.

Natia Vida imagined the consequences of breathing fire on the tree, and said, "No. Although I don't want to refuse Miss Knight's request, if I do this, it will violate the examiner's principles."

She was ready to see the dejected look of the knight girl, but she didn't expect the latter to be rejected. Instead of being depressed, she showed a subtle smile.

"The examiner's principle..." Lavra lengthened the syllables of each word, didn't he? The hand without the knife clenched a fist on the chest, a little bit? He said happily, "I really didn't? I guessed wrong, Lord Natia Vida sprayed fire on them, and they will be irreversible, which is considered to be breaking the rules of this area, and it is considered to be helping me——right?"

"Yes." Natia Vida frowned, considering her words, "Miss Knight, I'm a little worried...

"Will you ask me for a compliment tomorrow for discovering that the sun rises in the east and sets in the west.

"I mean . . . even so, I would sincerely praise you."

Leif quickly realized that this was Natya Vida's euphemism for her lack of common sense.

In fact, directly saying that she lacks common sense will not frustrate or embarrass her dignity at this moment. After all, she is unlikely to appear knowledgeable in front of a three-thousand-year-old dragon, and she is in a good mood now. If Wasn't it because Natia Vida suspected that something was wrong with her brain and forced her to clear her memory, maybe she would pounce on her? To celebrate her "lack of common sense" and execute the fifth move a few times.

Leff looked at the direction of the setting sun again, estimated the time, and had already walked nearly a hundred feet inward from the edge of the Black Forest.Before entering the forest, I could still hear some noises, but because she chopped down the tree for a while, the suppressed laughter produced by "External Pleasure" had some influence on the surroundings, causing some weaker people in the periphery The monster was scared away before it even got close.

She sighed with a little regret.

According to common sense, the more you go inward, the stronger and more courageous the enemy you will encounter, and you will not flee without a fight.

After patiently walking for several tens of feet, Leif finally caught a sound belonging to a monster in the front right, and ran towards that direction without hesitation, swinging a knife.
