Tearmoon Empire Story

Episode 222 The Forbidden Forest Without Mushrooms

The next day, Meer and the others followed the horses that had preceded them and left the village.

Once you’re out of the forest… instead, you go deeper into the forest.

I thought the village of the Fire Clan was deep in the woods, but in fact, I can see that it was still near the entrance.

It was a dark gray forest.

A place where tall, lush leaves block out the light of the sun and a faint veil of darkness flies.The dark air was slightly moist, as if it was coming to the skin.

Every time you walk, the leaves burst out under your feet.It seems to be informing our enemies of our position, and it’s somehow exciting.

Occasionally, the root of a tree that maliciously tries to catch its feet is gradually stepping over.

–Hmm, it’s not easy to escape after all.I thought I was completely familiar with the woods, but this is a lot of work.Not to mention escaping from the enemy’s hands, it would be much harder…

While wiping the sweat off her forehead, Meer exhaled little by little.

“Are you okay, Meer?”

Abel’s worried about walking in front of me.If your feet are bad, take your hands gently and don’t miss your escort.He is indeed a gentleman’s prince.

“Yes, thank you, I’m fine….”

While responding, Meer slipped out of sight.

The events of last night have come back to life… like this… my nanica, my emotions are starting to blow up!

What a… love brain!

Meer slaps herself on the cheeks, and then her expression changes sharply.

“It’s okay, Abel. I’m normal.And I’m not worried about anything. ”

It was true.

It was an itinerary while being wary of being attacked on the way, but there was nothing worrying about Meer.

After all, defending the avant-garde was the most powerful knight in the Empire.

Well, when I got on the horse, I was about to be targeted by a bow, so it wasn’t so hard to get around on foot…

“Hmm… how do I move through the woods without leaving a trace?”

I think it is a good opportunity to absorb the knowledge of the “time of need” greedily while asking Ludwig to go next door.It was a positive thinking meer.

“Still, it’s amazing that there’s a castle deep in the woods.”

Meea did not think of it, and she snapped at it with admiration.

I don’t know the size of a castle, but I don’t think it’s common to build a castle deep in the woods…

“It’s also off the pilgrimage road, and it’s a place you don’t need to come if you don’t cut through the woods.It may be a good place to hide and prepare for battle. ”

Ludwig said while fixing his glasses.By the way, there was a faint sweat on his forehead.Even though it is a small civilian, these physical tasks seem to be difficult.

“It’s also along the border with Verga.As for the Kingdom of Lemno, it is a difficult land to reach out to.Well, it’s a blank zone or something. ”

While acknowledging Ludwig’s words, Dion smiled ironically.

“Well, what an ambitious Lemno kingdom was a secret fortress…”

“Well, I’ve never heard such a story as serving the Kingdom of Lemno for so long.”

The answer was Gimmimafias, the mushroom armored knight.

Incidentally, the formation has Dion and Gimmimafias in the front row.Behind them were two imperial guards.Abel and Meer, Ludwig and Anne, followed by Bell.Behind them were five Imperial Guards.

By the way, the guards are holding a large shield so that they can respond to attacks from anywhere.

–What a splendid shield.I wonder if I could lay this shield around and close it up so we could build a little fortress…?If so, a bigger shield would be fine.Perhaps we should have a bigger soldier to carry…I’d like to solicit some of the Deva Kingdoms in Lemno, but… hmm…

The group proceeded to the back of the woods, approximating Meer, who began military thinking.

“But is the road really safe?”

That’s what Dion was looking for… guiding them… the wolf of the Horse, the feather comb!

The feather comb was exhaling with its tongue out because it was hot.

Looking back, he said, “Leave it to me!Like I said, woof! and barked.It’s comfortable… but I wonder why it’s Meer who can’t wipe out a glimmer of anxiety.

He’s supposed to be a smart wolf… but after I asked him his name, he kind of… why…?

― ― Speaking of a glimmer of anxiety, so is this forest.

It is only a short time to leave the village.

Meer was getting such a nasty feeling from this forest.I can’t think of any particular reason. I just have to say… somehow…

“This forest… it’s kind of creepy…”

Meer is bewildered by her unfamiliar creepiness.

I wonder… something catches me.This forest… something… is wrong.

Driven by anxiety, Meer looked around…I finally realize the cause of the discomfort.

That’s right, if it were in the woods, there would have been… nothing in the woods.It’s not a sign of a creature living in the woods…

“This forest… mushrooms are missing!”

… somewhere far away!I can hear a bird chirp.

The rabbits shake their leaves, and the adoring trees shake their leaves eloquently.

In the woods full of life, Meer’s voice of mourning echoed with sadness.
