Chapter 1421: Worth looking forward to (1/2)
When the wind blowing across the plain gradually cooled down, the heat began to fade from the valleys and hills in the south of the mainland, and the yellow-brown leaves covered the earth. From the long bridge of the returnees in the north to the lush jungle of the Elven Empire, a refreshing and comfortable atmosphere. The wind seemed to blow over this ancient land overnight, and even the decayed and decayed aura entrenched on the scorched earth brought about by the previous war seemed to dissipate at a speed visible to the naked eye.
In the forest on the edge of the long bridge of the returnees, the sound of heavy footsteps and the swaying and rubbing of wooden branches continued to sound. The huge forest guards walked out of the forest and patrolled the land that has now returned to calm. Ordinary tree guards are much taller guards with a strong torso and iron-gray bark. The bark and canopy also have a large number of alloy armor and tactical equipment that are absolutely invisible to ordinary tree guards. They are particularly eye-catching in this lush forest.
They are armed with heavy Gorgon railguns, shoulder anti-shield generators, and automatic missile launchers. There are communication arrays and armored crew compartments buried in the canopy. Each guard is like a walking turret—even if it’s a painting style. It's really weird, but the existence of these "Guardians of Thorin" has become the norm in this forest. Whether it is the elves on the side of the long bridge or the humans on the opposite side of the long bridge, they have become accustomed to these silent and powerful allies.
As the Silver Empire and the Highmountain Kingdom are still in vigor, the Guardian of Thorin is an important guarantee to ensure the tranquility and order of the forest.
After routinely patrolling to the long bridge of the returnees, the Thorin guards slowly stopped. One of the guards leaned down, and two agile figures emerged from its canopy and jumped lightly. To the ground-these are two elves, but their appearances are significantly different. One of the taller huntresses is the obvious silver elves, and the other petite figure has a pale to almost transparent complexion and is more complex than the silver elves. On short ears, you can see mysterious magic patterns faintly appearing on the surface of the skin, like tattoos.
The petite elf is Berna Breeze, who is leading the Thorin Guard patrolling the forest, and the huntress next to her... is her childhood friend she thought she would never see again.
Standing on the land of her hometown, Berna took a deep breath of the cool and fresh air. The magic runes near her neck and forehead were faintly extinguished several times like breathing. Half of the Thorin guards immediately received the order and began to patrol. On the next route, Berna herself looked in the direction of the Long Bridge of the Returnees, her eyes remained for a long time.
On the wide sea-crossing bridge built with ancient technology, a convoy of supplies was quickly passing through the border checkpoint of the Silver Empire, and a group of elves preparing to go to the northern kingdom were approaching the "Outbound Travel Registration Bureau" near the checkpoint. The flat and wide deck of the long bridge is glowing with a psychedelic glow in the sun, and the automatic maintenance machinery quickly goes back and forth in the trenches on both sides of the bridge, and there is a giant eagle rider who is patrolling the sky just flying over the long bridge. , The majestic and elegant figure quickly passed by in the sun.
Even now, Berna still has a dreamlike sense of unreality when seeing the returnees' Long Bridge.
"I really didn't expect... I would see this bridge again one day," Berna said softly, "It appeared in my broken dreams countless times, until I couldn't even sustain the dream. It is still imprinted in my memory like a shadow, but now it is here, in front of my eyes, I can even step on it directly..."
"Yes, you walked back home on this long bridge before, Bernard," the tall huntress looked back at her childhood playmate, who had been away for many years and returned to her hometown not long ago. Today, Berna still never mentioned to her former friends what she had experienced over the years, but only from those few words and her strange appearance, the huntress knew that this must be a hard journey, "So you really Don’t plan to stay here? You finally go home..."
"...I thought about it, but I have a place where I should go," Berna shook her head slightly, "I have already met the tutor and met my friends. They are all doing well now, they I also know that I'm having a good time, I think this is enough-this forest is my hometown, but I no longer belong here."
"Is it because of you...this body?" The huntress frowned slightly, looking at Berna's body covered in magic patterns, "I noticed that your body occasionally has abnormally high fever, and you don't seem to adapt to the food in your hometown. …Is this body unstable? Or do these runes bring a lot of pressure?"
"This is part of the reason, but more reason...I do have to go back to the Thorin tree," Bernard laughed. "At least, I have to take these Thorin guards back-they are from Sisi. You'lent' to the army of the Silver Empire and waited for General Lomar to make preparations for the handover. These reinforcements must be returned to the mainland. Of course, my'commander' must follow."
"Then you can come back after you send them back..." The Huntress said immediately, but in the end she sighed suddenly and shook her head with a helpless smile, "Well, since this is your decision, it seems that Thorin Giant Tree There must be someone or something you are thinking of over there. Based on your personality, this must be decided. So, you will live in the north in the future?"
Berna raised her arm and looked at the gleaming rune on it: "It should be, after all, my body is indeed more adapted to the northern environment now."
Speaking of this, she suddenly smiled and looked at her friend beside her: "But you don’t have to show this expression, Wei, have you forgotten? The wasteland is no longer a dead place that is difficult to cross, nor is it in the north or south of the mainland. As far away as before, as two worlds, I heard that soon the three major empires will start to build two magic railways running through the east, west, south and north in the wasteland, based on the current blocking wall, and in the future. There will be a direct air flight between Cecil and the Silver Empire—you can find me at that time, and I want to take you to the highest viewing platform of the giant Thorin tree to watch the sunrise over the Holy Spirit Plains.
"That is the most magnificent scenery I have ever seen in my life. It is even more beautiful than the morning sun in the forest of my hometown. I can also take you to'expedition' in the dark mountains. Now it is about to become a tourist attraction, or go Look at the snow-capped mountains and glaciers in the north? I have not been, but I heard that the scenery around Winter Fort is very beautiful, and seals can be caught near Beigang... Have you ever seen seals? The dragons in the north are very good at roasting seals! Know a few dragon friends..."
Berna’s eyes glowed with shining brilliance, like a few treasures, telling about the exotic scenery that could not be imagined in the hearts of friends who had been living in the southern forest since childhood. At this moment, the huntress called "Wei" seemed to look at it in a trance. Many years ago, I saw the elves who were excitedly packing up their bags and preparing to cross the long bridge of returnees to travel to the northern human world. At that time, they seemed to be standing in front of the long bridge of returnees, which was also an enthusiastic speech. They kept listening, and one listened helplessly for a long time.
Many years later, many things have changed, but it seems that some things have remained the same as before. This feeling...seems not bad.
"Okay, okay, I'll go to you, if you say my head is going to explode," the huntress's mouth couldn't help but curled up, she reached out and held her friend's shoulder, "I'm looking forward to taking the train directly or ' The flight's day to the north, as you often tell us after you come back... the world has changed, right?"
"Yes, this world has changed, many things have changed..." Berna smiled lightly, but suddenly, a few runes near her neck suddenly lit up slightly, which made her quickly pat the Huntress off. Arm, "Oh sorry, I am going to call back..."
"It's a messenger again?" The huntress raised her eyebrows, with a hint of teasing in her tone. "Or the saint? This is almost your mother. I heard she was not like that back then..."
