Juliana’s workshop Chapter 34: Forest at night

　　 The night is dense, and it has been half a night since the sun went down. Now the night wind is constant and the moonlight is bright. In the forest of the dead, I occasionally don’t know where the howling of the beasts sounded, or the movement of the beasts.

　　Lulunaka’s convoy headed east. Although it walked slowly and always stopped because of Lulunaka’s mood, there was already a lot of distance. If this trip were to go west, this week, I would have been able to walk into the mountains to the west, closer to the Arid Sea in the west. But if you go east now, the situation is different.

　　Whether it is a caravan or a traveler, in this forest of the dead, even if this forest with an inauspicious name has been calmer in recent years, there are still many places that are not within the scope of ordinary people’s activities. For the surrounding villagers, the southern part of the Forest of the Dead is the largest range of activities, and this southern part is actually only a small part of the Forest of the Dead, and the roads used by travelers and caravans are mostly covered in the south. To the east and north of the Forest of the Dead, the forest is denser and the area is larger than that in the south, and there are fewer traces of human activities. To the north of the forest, there are mountains where flying dragons move. No one wants to be snacks for them. To the east, facing the dark sea, the long coastline without any obstruction is a paradise for amphibious monsters and a golden route for merchant ships. Compared with the low-level dragons that cannot communicate, these fish are better for merchants with armed merchant ships to deal with-whether it is money or blood.

　　 So Lulunaka and other five people have not yet reached the east coast, but are still in the eastern forest. Now except for Lulu Naka, the other four are sitting at the campfire in front of the convoy. Romeuona and Olga sat on one side, Padin sat on the side, and Julius sat opposite Padin. The four people surrounded the bonfire, no one spoke, only the crackling of the burning wood sticks.

　　Paddin shouldn’t have sat with them. Whether it’s him, Olga and Romiuona, they haven’t recovered enough to sit down and chat together. As for Julius, this person who should have no contact with the people here, also chose to sit down alone at this time, looking like a lonely person. He used to worship Padin, but now he only has hostility towards this murderer, even if the other party no longer intends to kill; as for Olga and Romeona, only Olga occasionally chats with him. Sentence, and Tolulunaka’s blessing seems to give him the opportunity to learn martial arts from Olga-but the relationship with Romeo Na is always a bit strange.

　　 Julius sat on the edge of the campfire, leaning his hands against the fire to warm his hands. Compared to normal times, his mood now seems a bit low. Earlier, when dinner was not ready and Olga taught him how to hold the sword, Lulunaka’s words dealt a big blow to him. The alchemist girl who smiled and said something unfriendly, sounding vicious and sarcasm, said that Julius is a piece of rotten wood-this is not a good analogy, a piece of rotten wood, except for burning a fire , What else can it do?

　　 Down this road, Julius’ excitement and vision for the future after getting the sword were mostly wiped out because of Lulunaka’s words. Even if he wanted to refute Lulunaka, he didn’t know what to say. The one who gave him the sword was Lulunaka, who gave him the opportunity to get in touch with the guidance of warriors like Olga, and it was also Lulunaka. It can be said that all the things he has now are given to him by Lulunaka. .

　　 Lulu Naka didn’t hit the consciousness of an ambitious young man at all. What he usually looks like, and what he still looks like now. There was no change in her attitude towards Julius, as if the remarks weren’t really intended to laugh at Julius. At dinner, the portion of Julius’ soup and meat was very sufficient. When Julius was holding the bowl with his trembling hands, he was a little worried that it would spill on the ground, wasting these in his village. At that time, I couldn’t eat a little bit of deliciousness in a year. For Julius, being able to eat dry meat and drink broth is something that I have never experienced before, and it happens to be able to turn the stubbornness and unwillingness that Lulunaka called the dead wood into the power of eating meat. So he had a very messy dinner and had a great appetite.

　　 At that time, Lulunaka looked at Julius’s look like a hungry ghost, and didn’t reprimand him for eating too much. She still smiled, “Eat, as long as you don’t eat it, you can eat as much as possible. How much…otherwise it will be difficult for you to even protect yourself.” The convoy prepares food for dozens of people for a period of time. Now no matter how much Julius overeats, the food will not bottom out, so Julius doesn’t care how much he eats. , No one will have an opinion. In other words, it is mainly Lulunaka who has no opinion, so no one else will have any opinion.

　　 It’s been some time since dinner, and Julius’s almost bracing belly shrank a little, making him feel less uncomfortable. The feeling of fullness that almost eats up is not a comfortable experience. The mood is bad and the stomach is uncomfortable, which makes Julius look very listless tonight.

　　 “You can’t make a fat man in one bite.” said Padin, who was sitting across from him. Padin held the small sticks in his hand and threw them into the bonfire. The sticks were quickly lit and turned red, which made the bonfire more warm and bright.

　　 Julius just hummed a few times, intending to refute a few words, but after thinking about it, he didn’t know what to say, so he shut up. What Padin said is reasonable, no matter how hostile he is to Padin, he can’t say that there is anything wrong with Padin’s words.

　　 Olga and Romeona, who are sitting next to Padin and Julius, have no intention of joining the conversation. Because a lot of things have happened, there is never the kind of atmosphere where the four of them can get together and talk together. But for them, the situation like this is normal. It was originally the result of taking each other’s lives. Now because of someone, it has become a situation where they can sit together.

　　 And that someone, now sitting by the second campfire, is happily playing with what he is holding.

　　 Lulunaka sits on the edge of the bonfire in the middle of the convoy. The wet branches that Julius picked up during the day were picked up by her and only a part of it was left behind, which became another bonfire that could not be lit. Others The branches were thrown into the forest by her.

　　 She stood by the burning bonfire, holding the white jade-like mortar in her hand above the rising flame, and then turned it over to let the powder in the mortar fall into the flame. “What will happen… I am really looking forward to it.” She has been holding the mortar and mallet for almost half a day from day to day. No one knows what she is playing with, and no one can follow her. She asked something out of her mouth—she said she was making some powder to repel mosquitoes, but no one believed her.

　　The powder that Lulunaka said to repel mosquitoes was crushed, white with a bit of greenish green, when it fell into the flames, it was like sand falling down, and the delicate particles slowly fell. Connected into a piece of tulle in the air.

　　 After the powder in the mortar fell into the flames, a strange fragrance spread out and spread to the bonfire in front. Julius sniffed his nose and smelled a fresh scent, but for some reason, after the scent entered his nose, he sneezed and his whole body aroused. It’s not that he is allergic to powder, but that after the fragrance was inhaled into his nose, he sneezed with a chill. It’s not just him that reacted like this. Romeona frowned and covered her nose with her sleeve. The scent is not unpleasant, but it does easily arouse a person’s desire to sneeze, and after the cold breath is inhaled, it doesn’t make Romeo Na feel very good.

　　 Julius and Romeuona have only such intuitive feelings, Olga and Padin can feel more.

　　 “What smells is this?” Olga shouted to Lulunaka.

　　Lulunaka tilted the mortar in his hand, allowing the powder inside to fall into the flame. Hearing Olga’s question, she looked at Olga, “Some corpses of insects and dried fruit shells. It’s not a dangerous thing~IndoMTL.com~ Don’t worry, it just makes the insects unhappy. It’s just around here.”

　　 “Is it just that?” Olga didn’t believe it.

　　Lulunaka was not dissatisfied with Olga’s doubts, “There is nothing more, it’s all harmless to the human body. But the smell will be a bit cold when it is sucked into the nose. It’s refreshing, but if you smoke too much, maybe you will catch a cold? It’s just a cold.”

　　 is just a cold, which is not just such a thing. Olga sighed, did not say anything, turned her head and said to Romeouna who was beside him: “Be careful not to catch a cold, Oona.”

　　 “My body is not that bad.” Romiuona said, “But I really don’t like the smell…it’s too cold.”

　　 “No one likes to smell the smell of dead bodies, even if they are bugs.” Padin suddenly said, “Is this the smell of bugs?”

　　 Julius doesn’t like this topic, “Can you stop talking about it, it sounds like you’re burning a corpse…”

　　Patine looked at Julius, “What did you think of, did you think of the smell of people being burned?”

　　 Julius looked disgusted.

　　Paddin chuckled a few times and shook his head, “I said something untimely, sorry.”

　　 When the four people in front had a brief conversation, Lulunaka over there was already sitting down, holding her cheeks at the burning campfire, humming a monosyllable minor. Ward jumped off the carriage, shook his almost hairless skin, walked to Lulunaka and crouched down, facing the campfire, as if an artificial thing like it was also longing for warmth. .

　　Lulunaka touched Ward’s head, “Ward, what do you think this will attract?”
