[Rebirth of the Future] Furutake Era

Thorn Rose is a magician mercenary group. As the name suggests, all the members in the team are composed of magicians. The head of the group, Robin, is also a strong magister who specializes in water magic. He is very lukewarm, and only those who are familiar with him can find out that he is truly a cool and fickle creature like water.

Just like seeing him for the first time, Shiba also intuitively felt that he is not such a refined person on the surface, and the arrogance buried in this person's heart is probably no less than anyone else.

The atmosphere of the two mercenary regiments was not harmonious, but Briar Rose seemed to be in a hurry, and this move was in line with Eighteen's intentions. The two carriages sped out from the north gate of Roland City as soon as noon passed.

Although temporarily becoming an ally in name, Shiba can feel that Mani and the others are still very wary of the Thorns and Roses. The two teams just meet and go on the road together. The resting tent area and the place where the group is held are separated. Yes, Mani even specially reminded Shiba that if someone from Briar Rose sent something, he must be careful, but he was unwilling to say more about the specific reason.

Mani has been sitting at the bottom of the carriage since he started on the road, as if he was preoccupied. Shiba knew that he probably had some secrets that were inconvenient to tell others, but all of this had nothing to do with him, and he was willing to go to brotherhood with everyone. The reason for Mowan Haigu has always been because Shiba wanted to find his way back home.

And Tomat was waiting at home.

As for Bodie, from being captured to forming an alliance with Thorn Rose, except for that time when he seemed to have an ulterior motive, he was very well-behaved along the way. Sometimes when Shiba gets bored, he will also take Athophis to the place. The two around him exchanged magic skills together.After all, Eighteen is not a part of Valvaha. In his opinion, black magic is unforgivable except for the disgusting summoned corpses.No matter what kind of magic it is, it always leads to the same goal in the end. Although Bodie is restrained now, after all, in terms of realm, he is higher than everyone present except eighteen. Naturally, not everyone can match his vision Yes, often a word spoken unconsciously can give Shiba a new understanding. Originally, Shiba, who had just learned magic and only had no skills, benefited a lot from it in a few days.

After a few days, Bodie also greatly changed his view of Shiba.

It can be said that since he chose to embark on this path, he never expected to have any friendly friends. All the creatures in Valvaha, including the elves who are known for their kindness, hold a sneer at black magic. Attitude, even if Bodie survived desperately and successfully entered the holy rank, this kind of discrimination will not improve in the slightest.

But Shiba's attitude was really beyond his expectation.

It's not that Bodie has never encountered the strange eyes of the people in the Blade of Victory surrendering to their side, but since Shiba is not a dark magician, everyone has nothing to do with his willfulness.Eighteen came from another planet, and all the conclusions of knowledge are very different from those of Valvaha. It can be said that in the past few days, it is not only eighteen who have benefited. Bodie, who has been there for a long time, although he is still unable to practice due to being forbidden by magic, he has also gained a lot of insights.When they arrived at Gomowan Sea Valley, the two of them had changed from being cold-eyed at the beginning to being able to get together and say a few words.

Atofis's attitude towards Bodie has never been good. In fact, Shiba is also quite strange. Atofis will not easily express his attitude so clearly. When dealing with people he doesn't like, he just ignores them at most. But as soon as he meets Bodie, Artofes will put on a disgusted look very shamelessly. Although he doesn't know the reason, this is his own business after all, and Shiba doesn't want to interfere too much, so he also Didn't ask too much.

So he walked for nearly five days in a calm manner, walked out of the border of the Mabia Kingdom, and flew through countless small border countries, heading north all the way, changing the waterway once, and finally arrived at the most dangerous place in Valvaha. The Komowan Sea Valley precinct.

Gomobend Sea Valley is not a boundless and dangerous forest canyon as soon as you enter it. Outside, there are similar villages around the Whispering Forest, but compared to the Whispering Forest, the atmosphere here is much more depressed and deserted.

Perhaps because of the reputation of the Gomobend Sea Valley, most adventurers rarely choose to explore here. In addition, compared with the remote Gomobend, the Whispering Forest in Mabia is also rich in resources and more difficult. Much lower, adventurers should naturally know what is more beneficial to themselves.

"What about Black Rose and the others?"

After getting out of the carriage and asking around in the only hotel in the town, Mani came out suspiciously and asked Robin, "The owner of the shop said they left the day before yesterday. Is there any news from you?"

Robin was obviously surprised, and then seemed to think of something, his face darkened: "Damn... Black Rose, whore..."

Mani immediately saw what he meant, and snorted coldly, with contempt showing in the corner of his eyes: "I really didn't expect that this is the ally you and I have sworn to promise."

"I don't know what's going on!" Robin said in a cold tone, "She was the one who asked me to form an alliance at the beginning. If I hadn't listened to her description, I wouldn't be so interested in this S-level mission. Curious. She brought half a map before, and tore the map into two. I put away half of it. After confirming that it was genuine, I let her leave first with confidence... No! "

Robin's eyes froze immediately: "This is not normal! If she wants to get rid of us, she shouldn't have found me as an ally from the beginning. Something unexpected must have happened!"

Thinking of this, Robin immediately waved Mani into the room and asked the owner of the hotel: "In the past few days, has anything unusual happened near Gomo Bay?"

The shopkeepers who do business here are all little people who don't know magic. The boss looked in awe of the magician's inquiry. He tilted his head and thought carefully for a long time before he tapped his palm as if awakening from a dream, nodding in surprise He said, "When you said that, I really remembered. Three days ago, a fiery red mushroom cloud appeared above the forest in the north. That mushroom cloud was really... But on the second day, the leader The lady in black led the team and left, but where I went, I really don’t know.”

"Thank you," Robin thanked in a low voice, came out with a complicated expression, met everyone's gaze, and shook his head heavily: "It seems that we won't be able to rest tonight."

"That's just right," Shiba said coldly, looking at the sky over the Gomo Valley in the north, "Pack up your things, and get ready to go into the forest now. Supplies and weapons must be prepared, and there are also wounds to treat on the way." and poison potions, buy more if you can."

As he said that, he took off the ring on his hand and threw it into the hand of Mani beside him: "Prepare some more things, and everyone should allocate them to carry with them. Return the ring to me when you come back."

*******

Shiba's concerns were indeed correct.

After entering the forest for an hour, a fresh skeleton suddenly appeared on the road gradually entering the middle of the forest.

Why is it called fresh bones?Because this skeleton seems to have died not long ago, and the blood around it is still fresh reddish brown instead of black, but what is creepy is that there is no trace of muscle on this corpse. The white bones are in a lying shape, and the bones are perfectly connected, and it can be seen that there is no sign of being moved.

Seeing the corpse, everyone stopped in their tracks.

Shiba frowned, walked closer and squatted down to take a look. It was a female bone, and there were many small traces of being bitten on the bone. It seemed that it had been eaten by some kind of tiny beast.

Someone approached beside him, and Shiba turned his head to look over. It was Robin with a serious face.

With a layer of black air floating on Robin's face, he reached out tremblingly and turned over the female corpse, and then, under the bones, slowly took out a gorgeous scimitar without its scabbard.

Staring at the jewel on the handle, Robin's lips moved for a long time before he sighed softly: "It's Sylvester..."

"Silves!" Mani's expression was also shocked. He took two steps forward and stared at the scimitar, "Are you sure!?"

Robin was not talking, and the atmosphere immediately became heavy.

Sylvester is the deputy head of Black Rose, a [-]th-level fire magister. Although everyone knew from the beginning that the Black Rose mercenary entered the forest first, but no one could have imagined that it would be so fast. Get disturbing news.

"It's a big stomach ant." Bodie also approached. He looked at the corpse with a pale face, and said in a low voice, "This person is really unlucky. Usually big stomach ants don't swarm. The ones from the nest can be gnawed so clean, it is absolutely impossible without a nest..."

"Shut up!" Everyone shouted angrily, Bodie shrank his neck and turned his head bored.He shouldn't look at too many similar corpses, how could there be any great emotions.

Shiba stood up, looked forward, and said in a low voice: "You guys, should you keep going or stay? I have a hunch that the situation in the forest is not very good. The group of black roses you mentioned...? Maybe they have encountered Unexpected."

Although he wants to move forward, and his strength alone is very weak, if someone helps him, his success rate will definitely be much higher, but...

He still doesn't approve of someone going in for nothing to die.

But his kindness was destined to be unappreciated. Robin looked down at the scimitar in his hand, squinted his eyes and didn't know what he thought of. He smiled and shook his head: "I'm even more curious now."

"That's right," Mani clenched his fists tightly, and quickly lowered his head to glance at Robin who was appreciating gems. A strange emotion flashed in his eyes, and then he shook his head indifferently: "We've already come here, It's dangerous to go out, so it's a pity to give up like this."
