A Necromancer Who Just Wants to Plant Trees-Chapter 1673 - : 456 Major Tear and Legendary Sniper_5
Chapter 1673: 456 Major Tear and Legendary Sniper_5
But even so,
she was acutely aware that, in the chaotic world of today, a pretty boy who knew only a little cantrip could hardly survive, let alone be the support of others.
Only a warrior like the captain
was a truly dependable man.
“What a pity, if he were stronger, perhaps I could actually consider it…”
Alicia thought to herself.
...
Just at that moment,
she suddenly noticed the pretty boy looking over at her and giving her a friendly smile.
Alicia, somewhat at a loss, lowered her head and then saw the lush green piccolo.
Her heart suddenly felt a bit of panic.
Fortunately, at that moment, the voice of the captain came from ahead:
“We need to speed up.”
“Keep up with the spellcasters as best as we can.”
“By nightfall tomorrow, we must enter the Bronze Dragon Hills.”
So everyone quickened their pace.
The night passed without event.
Only the sounds of carts swearing orderly resonated across the wilderness.
Under the disguised escort of the Northern Mage Army,
they reached the fork in the coastal road by noon the next day.
From there,
the Night Spirit Magic Carpets no longer deliberately slowed their advance but grandly flew towards the more northern Death Triangle—
where demons were rampant.
A part of the caravan changed course to the west, heading toward Order City, ruled by the Ingram family.
Another part of the caravan, along with the Dream Mercenary Group, continued northward.
They would cross the Bronze Dragon Hills and advance toward the dangerous outskirts of Kingdom City.
After the Night Spirit Magic Carpets disappeared from sight,
the mercenaries immediately tensed up, order seemed to crumble in an instant, leaving only the harsh reality of deception and cruelty.
The caravan’s pace over the Bronze Dragon Hills was noticeably slower than before.
Partly because the roads were worsening,
and partly because they needed to be wary of bandits and marauders lurking in the shadows.
According to the captain,
many years ago, the Bronze Dragon Hills was actually a very safe place.
Within the hills was a labyrinth,
and within the labyrinth lived a Bronze Dragon who was fond of presiding over justice.
Any creature entering the hills had to abide by the rules set by the Bronze Dragon, or else they would be arrested and punished by him.
This Bronze Dragon also liked to adjudicate events occurring elsewhere.
Every fall,
he would randomly recruit some spectators from his domain, to publically judge some cases that were difficult for ordinary people to decide in front of everyone.
Many of these cases became legendary tales talked about throughout the north.
And the Bronze Dragon lived up to his name of fairness, earning genuine support and enthusiastic cheers every time he judged a case.
Over time,
this Bronze Dragon came to be known as the “Dragon of Justice”.
“Unfortunately, before the great tear, the Dragon of Justice had been missing for many years, and that labyrinth was nowhere to be found.”
“Now, many monsters have appeared in the Bronze Dragon Hills, and we must be vigilant at all times.”
the captain cautioned.
Everyone nodded in agreement.
However, it wasn’t clear whether it was due to the Northern Mage Army,
but the caravan had not encountered any bandits or goblins as they traveled.
It wasn’t until the afternoon of the third day of travel
that the road ahead showed some suspicious configurations.
“What’s going on?”
After an inexplicable halt by the caravan,
members of the Dream Mercenary Group were the first to move to the front to investigate the situation.
“A forest has emerged ahead where the road should be, it shouldn’t have such a dense Black Forest.”
“In fact, not just in the Bronze Dragon Hills, I have never seen such a dark and deep Black Forest in the north.”
“It gives off a very gloomy feeling.”
The caravan leader, looking tense, conferred with the captain.
Everyone saw clearly.
The road ahead stretched into a pitch-dark Black Forest.
The emergence of the forest was so abrupt,
outside the forest, it was completely just barren little hills.
The weather in March,
ice yet to melt away.
On the slopes, at most, there were some scattered branches and moss.
Such a dense forest was certainly abnormal.
“It’s the tree-planting mage!”
“I have heard some rumors about him.”
Ding Xianghua suddenly said:
“I heard that his forests can sprout legs, disappearing from one place and then suddenly appearing in another.”
“Anyone passing through his forests has to pay heavy taxes or else they will be turned into undead creatures!”
“I’ve also heard he’s particularly lecherous, fond of forcing women, especially pregnant ones…”
“I’ve even heard that because of these atrocious actions, the Seven Saint Alliance already expelled him!”

Alicia felt increasingly uneasy as she listened.
She asked, puzzled:
“Isn’t the tree-planting mage the guardian of Rolling Stone City in the south?”
“He’s one of the few spellcasters who fulfilled the guardian’s promise during the grand tear.”
“Even if this forest really belongs to him, how could he possibly do such things?”
Ding Xianghua stuck out her tongue, looking innocently at Alicia:
“Sister Alicia.”
“I just heard it too!”
Alicia really wanted to twist this fool’s head off!
Alicia’s face showed a forced smile:
“Is that so, haha…”
However, the dialogue between the two women couldn’t change the caravan’s decision.
After a quick discussion between the captain and the caravan leader,
the caravan slowly made its way into the forest along the main road—
At this point,
turning back was not an option for them.
Nor could they opt for an alternative route with even greater risks.
All they could do was pray for a peaceful journey.
Even if they encountered the legendary tree-planting mage,
