Seriously, the first time I ate grass, it was incredibly uncomfortable... so Lila, who has never experienced this kind of suffering, must have felt very uncomfortable too.
Once everything was ready, we set off.
Although we were all a bit hungry, time was of the essence, so we had to quickly eat some pickled chives and dried meat. We'll have a proper stew after we leave the Monster Forest.
Actually, everything was for everyone's safety, so they didn't have any complaints.
And so, without stopping, we continued on our way until dusk was almost over and it was nearly dark. Finally, we emerged from the so-called monster forest and arrived at a rather desolate land.
What I find strange is that, if I'm not mistaken, the map should show this as an orchard, so how did it become a desolate place?
And it seems we haven't passed any dragon's lair or anything like that yet...
It seems that this map is quite different from reality.
Since that's the case, let's continue forward, hoping to see some kind of orchard or farmhouse of the dwarfs.
Unfortunately... we didn't see a single leaf by nightfall.
Left with no other choice, we found a dead tree to set up camp and then cooked meat and chives.
We should at least eat the fresh chives and meat first; we can save the cured meat and pickled chives for later.
Otherwise, vegetables and meat will rot and spoil and become inedible.
Besides, it doesn't feel as novel as it used to be now.
After we had a hearty meal, we all went back to our tents to rest.
Sure enough, the map drawn by the subordinates of the Gray Wolf God must be different from the current one; otherwise, whatever was specifically marked on the map would definitely appear.
However, the only thing that comes to my mind is that there is a war here.
Otherwise, even if it were a monster attack, it wouldn't have caused the once lush orchards and some villages around here to be completely destroyed.
Since things have turned out so unsatisfactory, the most important thing now is to get some sleep and be well-rested so we can set off early tomorrow morning. Hopefully, we can reach the city-state of the dwarf kingdom while it's still light tomorrow.
Chapter 45 Arriving at the Border of the Dwarf Kingdom's City-State
On the second day, around noon, we indeed saw countless skeletons dressed in armor on this desolate ground, appearing before us in all sorts of shapes and forms.
Judging from these skeletons, the tallest and most robust individuals were only about 1.2 meters tall, and their bones were thick and strong, indicating that they had been engaged in hard labor for many years. So, without a doubt, these are all the remains of battles between the dwarf kingdom and some other race.
At this moment, Lila clung tightly to me, her body trembling slightly. It was clear that this was the first time she had witnessed such a horrific scene on the battlefield, which was why she was somewhat frightened.
However, looking around here, it's basically a one-sided situation, and there are only the remains of the dwarves. There isn't a single corpse of any other race. This is the only race that can prove they are opposing each other, and that is the Demon King's army.
Only the Demon King's army, after their deaths, leave no remains. It seems they too fought bravely to defend their homeland and died in battle.
"It's the Demon King's army."
At this moment, Mi'er frowned and said directly.
"Hmm? Honey, you can sense it?"
Ha, I didn't expect there to be someone who wasn't detected by the Night Elves.
"Hmm, the air is filled with the aura of the Demon King's army... Although it's been a long time, it still lingers. It seems this battle was quite intense."
At this moment, Mi'er revealed what she had noticed.
"If I'm not mistaken, the dwarves must have suffered a defeat."
I never expected the Night Elves to be so perceptive. Even normal people would have a hard time discerning the nature of a battle, yet these two perfectly anticipated everything I was thinking.
It seems that Wenya and Mi'er are indeed extraordinary.
"If we lose here, we'll be able to directly attack the borders of the Dwarf Kingdom's city-states. Moreover, these remains are at least twenty years old. It seems the Dwarf Kingdom's situation isn't very optimistic either."
I really don't know what the dwarf kingdom is like now.
Therefore, the most important thing now is to observe the city-states of the dwarf kingdom first.
Sure enough, by the time they arrived at the border of the dwarven kingdom, it was already quite dark, and the dwarven guards at the gate seemed to be about to close it.
If I'm not mistaken, they are currently severely lacking in manpower and resources, resulting in a very small number of guards at night.
Otherwise, they would never have closed the city gates.
"Wait a moment!"
At this moment, Angelize shouted loudly, and Xiongwan, knowing the urgency of the situation, sped up and drove forward.
Finally, just as we were halfway through the city gates, we entered the border gates of the Dwarf Kingdom city-state.
"who is it?"
At that moment, two dwarves wielding hammers larger than themselves rushed over and blocked our way.
However, when the two of them saw that we were not riding a horse-drawn carriage or an oxcart, but a huge white bear-shaped carriage from their childhood.
So they couldn't help but widen their eyes and immediately showed expressions of horror.
Of course, anyone would feel fear upon seeing such a car.
Then, one of the dwarf soldiers immediately turned and ran away without saying a word, leaving only one dwarf soldier gripping his heavy hammer.
It was as if they wouldn't allow us to pass even if it cost us our lives, if we took another step forward.
"Master, what should we do?"
At this moment, Angelize said to me with some difficulty.
"Let's get out of the car first. They won't hurt us if we don't make any rash moves."
At that moment, we all climbed off the carriage without saying a word.
However, just as I was the last one to get off the carriage, the dwarf soldier's pupils widened even more, and then the heavy hammer in his hand fell to the ground with a loud "clang".
Honestly, isn't he afraid that the giant hammer in his hand will smash his own foot, making it impossible for him to walk happily on the ground?
"Ok?"
His terrified gaze puzzled me greatly. Although I had never seen a dwarf in my life, let alone had any interaction with them, it was completely impossible for him to know me.
"Could it be that you are the legendary goddess Shidone?"
At that moment, the dwarf soldier immediately knelt down in front of me.
"Ah...you mean the goddess Shidone? She, she is my mother."
I quickly explained that the goddess Daozhidu was not me.
Although I could lie and say that I am the goddess Shido, I'm afraid that something bad might happen to me again... so I'll tell the truth.
"Ah, so you are the daughter of the goddess Shitonai. May I ask who you are?"
"My name is Ivy."
"Ah, Goddess Ivy."
As he spoke, he lowered his head, clearly showing that he truly regarded me as a goddess.
That makes sense, though. My body is completely made of divine bones from head to toe, so calling me a goddess of song isn't wrong.
"Uh...you should get up first. By the way, do you know my mother, the goddess Shido-nei?"
At this point, I quickly asked.
If they knew my mother, the goddess Shido-nei, that would be really easy.
Then I can walk sideways or vertically.
Haha, how delightful and joyful!
"Uh... no, but I have faith in the great goddess of reshaping, Sidune."
At this moment, the dwarf soldier slowly raised his head and got up from the ground.
However, he remained very polite.
However, when I looked up, I was stunned.
Because over 90 percent of the city-state borders of this dwarf kingdom have been destroyed, everything has turned black, as if it had been thrown into black mud.
However, many houses and walls have been rebuilt, but this cannot hide the tragic scene at the time.
"This……"
"Goddess Ivy, as you can see, this whole area is the work of the Demon King's army and the monsters they released. Alas, these despicable creatures."
Instantly, the dwarf soldier clenched his fists and said with great resentment.
Sure enough, I thought something had happened to the dwarf kingdom, but it turned out to be more serious than I had anticipated.
"My lord, it's right there!"
Suddenly, a loud sound drew my attention.
Just as I was marveling at the border of this dwarven kingdom, the dwarven soldier who had run away suddenly returned with dozens of heavily armored dwarves and rushed toward us at top speed.
Chapter 46 Wallet Crisis
Soon, these dozens of dwarf soldiers rushed right up to us, all looking at us with extremely wary expressions.
