Juliana’s workshop Chapter 12: Unknown ruins


   There are many snakes and insects deep in the dense forest. With a small sickle in his hand, Julius cut off the branches and leaves in front of him to make a simple path for people to walk. His ears were filled with the sound of insects. In such a sealed jungle, the sound of the insects seemed to have a damp and hot temperature, which made people’s ears come out of oil. It’s afternoon now, and the forest, where there is no sunlight, is getting darker.

   Olga is in front of Julius, and Padin is behind him. The three were connected in a row, each holding a tool for cutting off rhizome obstacles in order to carve out a way forward.

  Lulunaka is not in Julius’s sight, or in other words, no one knows where she is now. She just left the sentence “Go in this direction, don’t get lost”, and walked to the forefront by herself, and then quickly disappeared in front of them. No one knows how she ran forward so quickly in a place where trees and plants grew wild and wild, and now there is no one in sight.

  After burning the thief’s den, another half month has passed. A few days ago, Lulunaka, who was only heading north, finally planned to enter the forest, and asked Olga and the others to let go of the horses and entered the forest with simple luggage. The place where they entered the forest happened to be the border between the east and the north.

  Lulunaka’s whereabouts are mysterious, and for Julius, this might be better. Julius has been unable to raise his head in front of Lulunaka ever since he burned the den of thieves who sold people as commodities, killed a bunch of pirates and their boss. Lulunaka said that he barely passed the pass, which would be regarded as exalting him-if Olga hadn’t saved him, he would be more than just blindfolded by the sand. Olga avoided the worst outcome.

  Lulunaka said this to Julius one night, “Without Master Olga, I would burn one more body. No, because I said if Rock could kill If you say, I will let him go. That is to say, there are no more or less things to deal with, but the amount is still the same, but there may be a difference in weight. A thin underage child and an adult strong fighter, of course. The latter is heavier.”

   That night, Lulunaka was lying on a branch of a tree and said this to Julius below. Lulunaka is indeed telling the truth, and Julius has no reason to refute—As for why Lulunaka doesn’t save him, Julius doesn’t have the guts to say such a thing. He felt that if he said such things, Lulunaka might abandon him.

   And Lulunaka’s words really make sense. If he hadn’t slackened, Roque would have been dead. He has the ability to solve Roque alone, but in the end, Olga cleans up the mess.

   Julius was absent-mindedly thinking about these days when he bumped into Olga’s back unknowingly. He looked up, only to find Olga had stopped.

   He didn’t ask Olga why he stopped, because the sight in front of him really gave Olga a reason to stop. On the contrary, because he didn’t focus on what was in front of him, he wanted to make himself gaffe.

   Patin, who was behind Julius, came to Olga’s side. The three of them stood together, their eyes on the front.

   The front is no longer a dense jungle, but a road paved with stone and bricks. At the end of the road, you can vaguely see the buildings. The road seems to have been abandoned for a long time, weeds have grown between the stone bricks, and some stone bricks have been arched. The road is not smooth, and if the carriage is allowed to walk on such a road, it is probably not a pleasant thing for the passengers.

   “I have never heard anyone say that there is such a place in the forest of the dead.” Padin said, his gaze fell on the buildings on the other side of the road. Those buildings are the same as the road below. ancient. Where is this place? No one can give an answer, and the person who can give an answer doesn’t seem to be with them now.

   The three people walked out of the forest and walked on the road. “Are we going there?” Julius asked.

   “Be vigilant,” Olga said, putting his hand on the sword at his waist. “If this is where Lulunaka is going to take us, then it doesn’t seem to be strange.”

   Padin closed his eyes and opened his eyes after a while, “I can’t hear any movement, even the sound of bugs is gone.”

  Paddin said so, and Olga and Julius both discovered that it was true. When did the sound disappear? Was it when they discovered this place, or was it earlier?

   There are no more sounds here, only the swaying sound of branches and leaves caused by the slight wind.

   “The sound is too low.” Padin said, “This is not a sign of safety. What kind of place is it that prevents bugs from approaching? But if this is Lulunaka asking us If you arrive…”

   “Then we have no choice but to move forward,” Olga said.

   The three people walked along the road towards the building complex. This section of the road is not long. A few of them watched the surroundings carefully, but there seemed to be no signs of danger coming.

   A few of them came to the building complex and found that it was a circular square. This square can accommodate almost a hundred people, with a flat open space in the middle and broken buildings around it. The ground is a circular pattern made of stone bricks of different colors, circle after circle, from small to large tightly fitting together, turning into a wonderful pattern.

   Now, Olga and the others are standing on this wonderful pattern.

   The three of them looked in different directions. Olga and Padin were patrolling the surrounding buildings, and Julius looked down at the wonderful pattern on the ground.

   “The buildings here… are not familiar to me.” Patin watched the surroundings and walked towards one of the buildings. He reached out and touched the wall. The walls were covered with moss and vines, and there was no roof— —In other words, Padin is not sure whether there are such things as roofs in these buildings. “Neither Double Eagle nor Crescent Moon have buildings of this style.” There was a strange feeling in his heart that the buildings here are too old, so old that they can’t recognize which era or kingdom they belong to. But such an ancient thing has been preserved, giving people like them the opportunity to touch it.

   Olga discovered that this square still had several roads extending out, and he didn’t know where he could go.

   “Olga, have you seen this style of architecture?” Padin asked.

   Olga shook his head, “I have never seen it before. If you don’t even know it, then I’m afraid I have nothing to talk about.”

  Paddin looked into the building. These buildings don’t have doors. I don’t know if they don’t exist, or if the doors have been removed, the windows are the same. There is nothing, no furniture, no furnishings in the building, making it impossible to judge what purpose the building is for.

   “At least it is certain that this is not part of the Double Eagle Empire.” Padin said, and he silently counted the days he entered the forest and the road he walked every day. “This is undoubtedly the northern part of the Forest of the Dead, and it may go to a deep place… But let alone undead creatures, we can’t even see a bug now.”

   “So what place is this?” Julius felt a little uncomfortable because it was too quiet. He doesn’t like this place, it feels lifeless.

   “Want to know where this is?” Lulunaka’s voice suddenly sounded, which frightened Julius. He followed the reputation and saw Lulunaka come out of one of the buildings. After seeing Julius and others, Lulu Naka smiled and said: “You finally arrived. I slept for a while to wait for you. As a result, I was covered with dust.”

   Julius took a closer look and found that Lulunaka was indeed stained with a lot of dust, and that the cloak, which had been pretty clean, was now dirty. Looking at Lulunaka like this~IndoMTL.com~ Julius felt like he was back when she first saw Lulunaka.

   “In this kind of place, you can close your eyes at ease,” Olga said. To Olga, Lulunaka looked a little surprised, “Why not? It’s quiet here, there is no sound, it makes people want to doze off.”

   “Why brought us here?” Padin came over and asked Lulunaka, “Here, you should give us a clear answer.”

  Lulunaka nodded, “Indeed, if you pretend to be so mysterious, you will be really angry. And there is no need to hide it now.”

  Lulunaka took out a thing from her arms. It was a square lantern the size of a palm, and there was a blue flame burning inside. This lantern looked like a blue jewel in Lulunaka’s hand, but it was enclosed in glass. “Do you know why you haven’t seen any undead creatures along the way? It’s not because the rumors about the northern part of the Dead Forest are deceptive. I don’t want to be noticeable, so I used some special methods and chose I only know the way, so as to avoid those things that are no longer wise. As long as they don’t make too much noise, then those with brains will not wake up so easily. Do you know? Not every bone frame They are as easy to talk as Mr. Tours. Most of the time, I meet some dead souls full of resentment.”

   Lulunaka tilted her head and raised the small lantern in front of her eyes, “Speaking so much, in fact, I just want to say one thing. If this fire goes out, then this place will become …It’s very lively. Then there is a very unfortunate thing, I have nothing to add fire to.”

   Lulunaka had just finished speaking, and the fire in the lantern went out.
