Chapter 30 Fortress Blood Shadow(1/2)
The brand is very simple, consisting of branches, vines and a randomly found wooden board.∷,
The handwriting on the wooden board is not sloppy, and it can even be said to be fair. However, the wooden sign that was erected in a hurry without waiting for the handwriting to dry out, letting the bright red liquid go down.
Suddenly, the handwriting became blurred and ferocious.
It's like a big, bloody mouth.
"Not blood."
"It should be the juice of some kind of berries."
"Also, the other party was in a hurry and directly stained his finger with berry juice. He wrote a warning that his fingers were tough and powerful, and he was already very immersive. Most people cannot do such a thing!"
After Qin Ran confirmed that there were no traps around him, he walked in and checked the handwriting on the wooden sign.
The sourness from his nose informed him of the origin of the bright red liquid.
Qin Ran could not determine which one it was.
Although he has the basic skills of [Pharmacology] and can memorize the effects of hundreds of plant roots and leaves, compared with all the plants in nature, it is really worth mentioning.
Being able to identify it as berry juice has shown that Qin Ran has studied the basics of [Pharmacology] very carefully.
Standing up again, Qin Ran looked around and looked around for more traces, and continued, "There was no sign of this wooden sign before I left!"
"The other party made this wooden sign notice after I left!"
"And, the other party is sure we are coming!"
"What's more important is that there are no traces of footprints, fingerprints, etc. around it!"
"Do you feel familiar with this approach of coming and going without a trace, Herbert?"
Qin Ran said as he looked at the old scholar.
The latter nodded.
"Guardian!"
"The Guardian of Aesop's Ancient City!"
The old scholar said this.
"These guys who pretend to be terrified only know how to make some things that are not painful. If you really have the ability, why don't you kill those night-seeded monsters!"
Peel said indignantly as he looked at the prompt on the wooden sign.
Of course, Qin Ran knew that more of the reason was because the Guardian destroyed Herbert's residence.
For Peel, Herbert's residence is naturally his residence.
Simply put, it is home.
When facing a person who ruins your home, no matter whether the person is good or bad, I am afraid no one will have a good impression of him.
If you don’t curse, you will have a good temper.
Of course Peel is not a good temper.
The reason why he didn't curse was naturally because he had other plans.
Qin Ran could see clearly that when talking about these guardians, Pier's hand had never left the hilt.
Obviously, the old scholar's housekeeper and bodyguard have other more direct plans.
Qin Ran deeply agrees with this.
Although Qin Ran has no real home.
But this does not prevent Qin Ran from supposing what he would do if someone dared to destroy his home.
If he did not destroy the other person from flesh, body to soul a hundred times, he would write the word Qin upside down.
"continue?"
Taking a deep breath, Qin Ran pointed to the road leading to the ancient city of Aesop.
"certainly!"
The old scholar nodded.
On the next journey, Qin Ran was at the forefront again.
Compared to the road when we came, there is a road hidden by forests in front of us, which naturally contains more dangers in Qin Ran.
Not to mention those night-seeded monsters, just guardians who have never appeared, Qin Ran guessed that the other party might be living in seclusion in this forest.
After all, the gold diggers have just cultivated a road to the ancient city of Aesop.
For the entire forest, it is really not worth mentioning.
It’s not too easy to hide some guardians in the vast forest like the sea. Even the night-seeded monsters should be hidden in it!
This is not Qin Ran’s guess out of thin air.
Instead, it was inferred based on the attitude of the night-seeded monster towards that "weapon".
There was only one thing that Qin Ran was still confused.
As the guardian of Aesop's ancient city, I should have been extremely familiar with Aesop's ancient city.
What's inside should be as clear as you know it.
That 'weapon' is naturally one of them.
With that ‘weapon’, why did the night-seeded monster develop to this point?
unless……
"Inheritance is cut off?"
Qin Ran thought of a possibility.
Only this possibility can explain the current situation.
Something must have happened in the Guardian, causing accidents in the knowledge and weapons that should have been passed down, which caused another rampant nature of night-seeded monsters.
Qin Ran couldn't know what happened.
But Qin Ran knew very well that the night monster and the guardian must be as powerful as water and fire, fighting openly and secretly.
Because they are natural enemies themselves.
Night-seeded monsters, alien creatures that were once wiped out by the Nick Dynasty army.
The Guardian should be the descendant of Aesop's ancient city, which is one of the fortresses of the Nick Dynasty.
Even though the Nick Dynasty disappeared for 1,500 years, the ancient city of Aesop has always existed, and the guardians have naturally existed.
Qin Ran could completely imagine that in a world that ordinary people did not know, the battle between the guardians and the night-seeded monsters.
It must be tragic.
Then, Qin Ran subconsciously thought of the "slaughterhouse" in Burr City.
"Is that black shadow one of the Guardians?"
"What is he fighting for?"
"Is it also a inheritance of Aesop's ancient city?"
New doubts kept popping up in Qin Ran's mind.
But my pace did not stop and my search was very serious.
About forty minutes later, everyone came to the ancient city of Aesop in the true sense.
A wall that is extremely tall even when you look at it today.
Unfortunately, only this wall is complete.
The rest were some ruins, and covered with thick dust.
This towering wall is no exception.
But any dust falling on it only adds vicissitudes and a sense of time to it, just like a big tree, the greater it grows.
Qin Ran looked at the wall that was fifteen meters high and imagined the appearance of Aesop's ancient city.
"Fortress?"
Qin Ran muttered to himself softly.
"Yes, the ancient city of Aesop was a real fortress at that time!"
"It is the city that gathers the castle, palace, and fortress itself. It is a pentagonal shape. This wall is just a small part of it, and it is the outermost part!"
"There are two walls, trenches, and..."
"But, I can't see it now."
Herb spoke endlessly, but in the end, it turned into a sigh.
"When I first came, it took two years to confirm the inner city area of Aesop's ancient city. Unfortunately..."
