Dawn of the Ash Tower

On the outskirts of Tianshui Town, at the foot of Longji Mountain

"We've searched every piece of land around here. Are you sure the cave is near here?" Hahn complained to Jack while sitting on a raised rock.

"I don't know exactly where the entrance is, but it should be here." "Monkey" said dejectedly.A group of people have wasted half a day here looking for the entrance of the cave, but so far they still found nothing.

"Maybe your memory is wrong, maybe the entrance to the cave is not here." The proprietress said.She also gave up on the search.The warrior woman Mona didn't speak, but she nodded in agreement when Elsa spoke.

"But this is what I remember hearing..." Jack held his head in distress.

"Maybe your father just bragged about it casually, and he doesn't know where the cave's entrance is." Hahn said.

Jack was still waiting to refute, but the female warrior spoke first.

"Okay, if you can't find it, you can't find it. Although it has been delayed for some time, it should be too late to go to Xigu City." The female soldier said and was about to get up, but at this moment, Cheese, who had never spoken said suddenly.

"I found the entrance to the cave." The mage stood up and walked in one direction.The remaining four people were left looking at each other in blank dismay. After all, Cheese had been sitting in place and not participating in the search since the beginning of the search for the cave.Elsa and the others only became mages because of their limited physical strength due to injuries. Who would have thought that he was the only one who found something among the five.

"Didn't he just sit here all the time?" Jack asked Hahn in a low voice.

"Yeah, I don't think he moved a single step just now." "Wild Boar" also doubted.

Mona and the proprietress didn't speak, but just followed behind the cheese.Mona is inherently reticent, and many times the warrior prefers execution to discussion.The proprietress had seen all kinds of magical spells cast by Cheese when she was in the small town, and she had an inexplicable confidence in Cheese's ability.

Soon, a group of people came to a rock wall, a small stream flowed from the bottom of the rock wall, followed the terrain and merged into a larger water flow in the distance.Other than that, the surrounding environment seems to be no different from the neighbourhood.Just when Hahn was about to ask where the mage's entrance was, there was a sudden sound from the grass beside him.

"Who!" The three frost guards quickly drew their weapons, sandwiching Cheese and Elsa, and the three faced three directions and stood guard.And with the shout of "Wild Boar", the movement in the grass quickly disappeared.

"Put down the weapon, you scared it." Cheese said with a frown, and at the same time reached out and pressed down the broad-edged sword in Mona's hand. He took the initiative to walk out of the protective circle of the three soldiers and approached the grass that made the sound just now.

"Wait..." Hahn and Jack wanted to stop Cheese, but Elsa and Mona pressed them down, because from their perspective, they could vaguely see what was in the grass.

Seeing Cheese leaving the crowd, and Mona and the others putting away their weapons, that thing seemed to have taken courage, and after waiting for a while to find that they were indeed not hostile, they finally walked out of the grass by themselves.

What is this?Elsa and the other four couldn't believe their eyes. They saw a creature that looked like a human child coming out of the grass.It has earth green skin, is covered with a clothes made of leaves, and its height is only around the waist of an ordinary adult.Its facial features are similar to those of human children, except that it has a big, funny nose, and green hair on top of its head. It can be seen that these hairs have been washed, and there is a dewy wild flower dotted on it. .

The creature carefully left the grass, like a cub leaving its cave for the first time. It looked at the boss lady and the others with its gray-brown eyes, as if to confirm whether they were a threat.Elsa noticed that the creature's eyes had no whites in them, and the whole eye was like a gray-brown pebble.

"Don't worry, they won't hurt you. (Unknown language)" Cheese walked up to the creature carefully, and spit out a language that he had never heard before.At the same time, he gestured for others to be quiet with his hands behind his back.

After shaking his head and observing for a while, the creature seemed to have finally lost its guard. It chirped at the cheese for a while, and at the same time danced and gestured.The proprietress guessed that it should be the same language as the cheese.During the call of this creature, Cheese occasionally interrupted, asking for some details in the previous language, and then the little guy would chirp back after thinking for a while.

In this way, under the watch of the remaining four people, the cheese chatted with the creature for a short period of time. Judging from the expression of the mage, he should have obtained the information he wanted from the other party.So before ending the exchange, he took out a bag from the cloak, poured out a few fruits that Elsa had never seen before, and handed it to the creature.The creature let out a joyful cry, and quickly stuffed the fruit in the cheese's hand into his mouth.The mage smiled, and then handed over the entire bag to the other party.Small bursts of cheers came from the surrounding grass, and Elsa and the others were surprised to find that there were many such small creatures hiding in the surrounding grass.The little creature that came out to talk to Cheese was also very happy after getting the bag. It let out a piercing scream. The proprietress guessed that it was calling for its companions, because soon those little guys in the grass jumped out of the grass, Go to the bag and ask for the fruit.The little creature talking to cheese seems to be the leader of this group of creatures. It distributes the fruits one by one, and looks very serious, but because of its image, that serious look makes people feel uncontrollable.

"These are land spirits. They usually live in forests and valleys. For them, the nearby caves are as familiar as their own backyard." Cheese walked back to the crowd and said.

"You mean, they know where the entrance to the cave is?" Mona asked.

"According to them, the residents of the small town did move into the cave one after another in the previous month, and they said that because there were huge rats constantly attacking them, the residents of the town blew up the entrance nearby. .” The mage nodded and said.

"Then how do we get in? Those small town residents probably don't plan to come out for a short time. They emptied the entire town's food reserves, which are at least enough for them to consume until spring." Hahn asked.

"Don't worry, our new friends said that they know some entrances that humans don't know. As their friends, they are happy to take us there to find our kind." The mage said with a smile.

Soon, the land goblins ate up the gifts given by their friends, and then under the leadership of the leader, that is, the goblin who talked to cheese, a whole group of goblins gathered around cheese and others Go on the secret way they say.

"It's hard to imagine, I've never seen such a creature before." Elsa looked at the land spirits around her and whispered.

"It's just a group of timid little guys who like to be lively. In fact, they often observe the human beings who enter their living area. But because they are afraid of strangers, they only dare to watch from a distance." The mage said.

"Then how do you know about them? Is this also one of your mage courses?" the proprietress asked curiously.

"That's not true. Although some mages like to raise land spirits to do some simple work, they rarely communicate with them. Land spirits have high intelligence. They can understand human languages, but they can't understand them due to their physiological structure. How to pronounce it. As for how I am so familiar with them, it is a bit long story, I will talk about it when I have time." Cheese replied.

Under the mage's explanation, the other members of the team quickly realized that these land elves are very kind creatures, they are pure, happy and carefree, because of their affinity for plants and land, those hungry ratmen also Difficult to spot them.So even under the ravages of the plague, these land spirits still live happily.Surrounded by such a group of pistachios, the tense nerves of the members of the team were temporarily relieved.There were long-lost smiles on their faces.
