"Gudu, Gudu." The amber malt liquor flowed down the smooth chin, and a few drops of wine gradually gathered together on the smooth, white and slender neck.
"Can you tell me now, where is Hrov's treasure?" Suchen sat on the chair. He looked at Sigurd who raised his cup and drank ale. This woman did have a beautiful skin and was wearing a fox fur. She was wearing a coat, and the light of the snow reflected from the window made her skin even whiter and more delicate. She stood proudly in the lord's hall made of wood, just like a living oil painting.
"Of course, in order to thank you for your generosity, I will tell the respected lord everything I know." Sigurd put down the wine glass in her hand, and she walked towards Su Chen who was sitting on the chair, as if A charming kitten.
Suchen put his elbows on the armrests of the wooden chair. He held his cheeks and watched Sigurd's performance without saying a word, thinking about what this woman had planned.
But Su Chen's silence was regarded as acquiescence by Sigurd. With a smile on her lips, she pressed her hands on the back of the seat. Her whole body almost fell into Su Chen's arms, and the faint fragrance came in instantly. In Su Chen's nose, the proud figure was breathtaking.
"That's enough, Sigurd, if you want to seduce me, then I advise you to put less thought into it." Su Chen said to her coldly. It wasn't that Su Chen had no interest in beauty, it was just that just now Everything he experienced left him without any interest.
"Oh, I understand." Sigurd looked at Su Chen with a straight face. She was stunned for a moment, but she was not angry. She straightened up and wrapped her coat tightly again, and stood in front of Su Chen, as if Nothing happened.
"I still have important things to do. If you don't want to talk about it, please take your things and leave!" Su Chen stood up and said calmly as he was no longer patient with Sigurd.
"Lord, please don't be angry, I will take you there immediately." Sigurd said quickly.
To the west of East Hamar is a huge black forest. Suchen had been attacked here, but in fact, they were only on the edge of the black forest. If they entered without any preparation, they would definitely lose their way.
"Quack~~~." The snow crow stood on the swaying pine and cypress branches, its mouth moved from time to time, and its round eyes looked curiously below. In this cold winter, there were several people in front of it. OK.
"Hrov's treasure is really ridiculous." Vargas was wearing a bearskin cloak. He walked forward with one foot deep and one foot shallow. The snow in the forest was so thick that it would almost submerge him if he stepped on it. He hurt his calf, but according to Hyde, this is not the coldest time in East Hamar, it is only the beginning of winter.
"Huh." Su Chen stood under the tall pine and cypress tree. He raised his head and glanced at the snow crow parked above. He exhaled and put it in his hand. The cold ax on his waist made him feel more at ease.
"Crunch, crunch." The person leading the way was Sigurd. She didn't say a word even when she heard Vargas's complaints. Except for occasionally stopping to judge the path, she was very quiet.
"Lord, where are we going?" Hyde was wrapped in a thin leather coat, and her little hands were red from the cold. She dragged a wooden trailer and left deep marks in the snow.
"Call me Wolf!" Su Chen took off his wolfskin cloak and put it on Hyde. There were not many people he could trust in the territory, and Hyde was the only one, so he could only bring her with him. Come on, fortunately, as a slave girl, Hyde is in good physical condition, so this level of coldness is not a problem.
"Lord, further ahead is the legendary cursed place." At this time, Verside, who was following behind with a flax rope, digging tools and a spear, said to Suchen.
"The Cursed Land?" Su Chen asked curiously. As the oldest person among them, Verside knew a lot about this territory.
"Legend has it that before East Hamar was founded, there was a tribe in the forest to the west. They became a very wealthy country by trading amber and mining gold. However, their king was arrogant and arrogant. Later, a wanderer The man came to their territory and asked the king for mercy, giving him a roof and hot food, but the king humiliated him, made him sleep in a stable, and only gave him a piece of maggot-infested apple, but the king did not know it. , that wanderer is the incarnation of Odin, the father of the gods." Viside slowly told Su Chen and others the legend from the cursed land.
"So Odin, the father of the gods, punished him?" Su Chen guessed the ending of the second half of the story as soon as he heard it. Most of these ancient stories have strong morals or implications.
"Yes, Odin ordered the insidious Loki to destroy this tribe. As a result, their land was overrun with diseases, trees grew uncontrollably, and the earth was corrupted and corrupted. Only bones and undead were left wandering around." Verside will After telling the story she knew, Haide was so frightened that she hurriedly got closer to Su Chen. It seemed that she could only feel safe with Su Chen.
"Hahaha, these are all stories to scare children. If there are ghosts, I will chop off their heads with an axe." Vargas said loudly and nonchalantly. He pulled out the ax from his waist and pointed at It rose.
"Every legend has its origin." But Su Chen was thoughtful. He thought that the reason why Hrov buried the treasure there was probably to avoid people discovering it!
"After passing these three big trees, we are here." Suddenly, Sigurd, who was leading the way, stopped, she pointed ahead and said to everyone.
Suchen, Vargas, Hyde and Wayside stopped. They looked in the direction Sigurd pointed and saw three huge spruce trees appearing at a fork in the road. These three trees are so huge and ancient, covered with ugly tumors, and the branches covering their heads are intertwined together, like a natural gate.
"Odin, is this the entrance to the underworld?" Viside couldn't help but clenched the spear in his hand. His cloudy eyes were full of fear of this place, but as Su Chen's slave, he couldn't turn around. He ran away and could only mutter Odin's name.
"This is not Hades, it's just three strange big trees." Vargas was very courageous, and he said with the ax in his hand.
"Don't be afraid, that's what ancient trees look like." Su Chen comforted Hyde and gave Vargas a wink. In this weird place, he didn't want to fall into Sigurd's trap, so he had to Take a good look at her.
However, Suchen's worries were unnecessary. Sigurd did not behave strangely, but continued to lead them inside. A path leading to the north was covered with snow and exposed snow. wildflowers.
"When you see a huge stone, that's where Hrov buried his treasure." Sigurd stepped in the snow and saw the shadow of the stone faintly appearing between the trees in front of her. Then he breathed a sigh of relief and said to everyone.
"It's really a huge stone. Who moved this? Is it the giants?" Vargas raised his head and looked at the huge stone in surprise. This stone is a smooth rock. I don't know who dragged it. In the forest, there are circles of white lines on it, which seem to be natural or deliberately carved.
"Did human civilization exist a long time ago?" Su Chen could see at a glance that these were traces of prehistoric human activities. It was obvious that this place was once a gathering place for an ancient tribe, and the moss-covered The boulder is the totem and god worshiped by their tribe, but it is unknown why it is now abandoned and has even become a cursed place passed down by the Nordic people.
"Odin, this is either the work of the underground dwarves or the work of the Asirs." Even Viside couldn't help but say.
"Do we really want to dig here?" Hyde was a little worried. She was worried that her group would disturb the peace of the ancient ghosts.
"Dig." Su Chen said calmly.
