Alien Knights

Chapter 243: The kingdom of shadows

The Ulster Kingdom is located at the northwestern end of the Wilderness 6, and is one of the most powerful countries in the northern region.

Guming City, located at the easternmost part of the Ulster Kingdom, is the largest trading city in the kingdom and the entire northern border.

Boyle, carrying two hares on his back, pretending to be an orion, led Todd and Rachel on the streets of the market district, trying his best not to attract the attention of others.

Hiding most of his mutated body under a thick black cloak, Todd followed Boyle, carefully watching everything in front of him.

The wide and messy bazaar was filled with businessmen of different skin colors and different accents. Traders from neighboring countries, tall and strong North Islanders, and a dozen weird groups that speak lingua franca and wear neatly black robes...

Todd curiously used the perspective power to look at the group of people, passing through the surface of the coats, the black cross on the shirt, and the cross pendant on his chest, and he was startled: "How can there be a church business here? !"

Boyle glanced at the group of people, and said solemnly: "There have always been people in the church to the south, trading secretly with the north. In the Kingdom of Ulster, this is already a secret that can't make it to the table. There is even this. According to the rumors, there is a considerable reason why the church banned the trade between the Silver Ring Kingdom and the North, because it did not want others to get involved in this business."

"It's impossible." Todd shook his head in disbelief. "If it is only to maintain the secret trade between the church and the north, then the cost of this war will be too great! More than half of the Acropolis's army was killed or injured, Templar Knights. The deputy head of the regiment all died in battle..."

Todd's voice became lower and lower, and the expression on his face became more and more serious.

Rachel glanced at him, and asked Boyle, "What specialties are there in the North? What makes the church so important?"

"Fur, herbs, wood..." Boyle lifted his chin and pointed to the largest platform in the market area: "However, compared to that, these are only small businesses that don't make much money."

Todd looked in the direction he directed. Hundreds of people gathered next to the largest platform in the market, and there were endless shouts and chants.

Take a closer look, the commodities on the market platform are actually people.

Men, women, old people, and children are all tied together by chains, and wooden signs with price codes are placed on their feet.

A slave trader introduced the origin of the goods to the buyers, and his mouth was full. Most of them were captured in the war, and a small part were slaves of the southern barbarians.

"Silver Ring City people, Holy Acropolis people, and some people from the most orthodox parish." Boyle touched his chin and said: "These products are the biggest specialty of the Northern Kingdom."

"Human..." Todd lowered his head painfully, looked at his monster-like sharp claws, and slowly said: "Humans can easily lose their humanity even if they don't need to be mutated."

Rachel's eyes narrowed slightly: "Where will these people be sold?"

"The church and the caravans of the North Island bought them, and most of them will be sold to the Southern Empire. Those believers who believe in God have a very strong demand for these white slaves."

Ear-piercing whips and screams came from his ears. Todd gritted his teeth, turned and left the market, his voice was full of helplessness and sorrow: "It's easy to save people, but it's hard to save the heart."

After the group of three people left, the old and the young walked out of the shadows.

"The wonder of this world, you can't overstate it with the word "wonderful"!" Klaurence crouched and looked at the distant figure with a dry laugh: "Who can think of it like this? Where will there be a fateful encounter?!"

Sabrina turned around to look around, and asked suspiciously: "It's strange, I haven't found any other guards."

"It's not hard to guess that King Musi has no heirs or legal heirs. He has no choice but to travel in secret." Clarence moved forward, struggling to move forward.

Sabrina stroked her sleeves: "Then we can stop him in front!"

Clarence waved his hand: "It's too conspicuous to do it here, besides, if I didn't expect it wrong, his destination...should be the same as mine..."

Before he finished speaking, he frowned, put his hand trembling into his mouth, and pulled out a **** tooth.

Looking at the yellow and corrupt thing in his hand, Clarence held it tightly in his hand: "The aging caused by the collapse of the soul is increasing, and my time is running out."

"This is where I originally planned to meet you." Boyle took Todd and Richel, walked for a full half day, and came to the sea in the north of the ancient city, and said to a shallow sandy beach.

"If it weren't for that **** storm, we could have arrived here half a month earlier." Rachel said annoyedly.

Todd looked at the endless sea in front of him, and said to Boyle, "Where should we go next?"

"follow me."

After saying this, Boyle followed the beach to a hidden cave, uncovered the branches and fishing nets used for camouflage, and a simple sailboat appeared in front of the three of them.

"The country of shadows is in the mist, dense reefs, and complicated ocean currents." Boyle patted the sailing boat and said with a smile: "Large ships can't get close there, only small boats can enter."

Todd raised his own question: "Is the land of shadows an island?"

Boyle thought for a while, and replied like this: "According to the dictation of those who returned from there, some people said it was an island, while others said there was nothing there. With the seasons, climate, and ocean currents, the kingdom of shadows seems to appear. Different shapes and sizes."

Boyle glanced at the sun gradually slanting westward, took out the hare and sleeping bag from his carry-on package, and packed the cave, while saying: "Take a good rest tonight, and tomorrow morning we will go out to the land of shadows."

Early the next morning, the boat raised its sails, Boyle took the helm, and the group of three sailed to the legendary country.

The sailboat drove nine kilometers north and then five kilometers east. The fog on the sea became thicker and the visibility gradually decreased.

Boyle stretched out his hand, feeling the humidity in the air, and said to Todd and Rachel: "The sign to the kingdom of shadows is a bit special. You have to follow the fog and move forward. The heavier the fog, the greater the humidity. It means the closer you are to your destination."

After driving for another twenty minutes, the fog was so thick that even the companion one meter in front of him could not see clearly.

Boyle lowered the sail, took out the fishing net with the branches from the cabin, hung it on the edge of the boat as a cushion, and signaled the two accompanying people to pick up the oars: "From now on, I will put the boat to the slowest. You guys. Paddle lightly, don't panic if you encounter a collision, just stop paddling."

In this way, the sailboat is like a fish, passing through the reefs and shallows, going farther and farther toward the depths of the mist.

After another half an hour of slow sailing, the hull of the sailing ship suddenly stopped with a sound of rubbing sand.

Boyle looked at the fog that was supposed to be white in the distance, turned dark and trembling, and said softly, "We're here."

Todd and Rachel took up their suitcases~lightnovelpub.net~ and jumped off the boat, and formally set foot on the land of the Shadow Land.

Boyle grabbed the helm of the sailboat, looked at the two figures disappearing into the fog, and suddenly shouted, "Richel!"

The woman turned her head, her face hazy in the mist, she couldn't really see it.

Boyle plucked up the courage and said loudly: "Send here, do you want to move on? You can go back and continue your path of destiny instead of disappearing into this forgotten land!"

The two in the mist seemed to argue for a while.

In the end, the woman’s determined voice penetrated the fog and echoed in this deadly space: "My destiny, I decide for myself! Instead of being a reflection in a puddle, let me be completely burned by the sun. !"
