Chapter 784: Sleeping Spell (6)
As Tyrion witnesses the Mother of Dragons officially extending her dragon claws into the world, Easybrow leaves the drowsy land.
The fertile swamp that stretched across Westeros was surrounded by a jungle of thorns, filled with formidable thorns, and countless twisted vines tangled together, so dense that they couldn't even fit a needle.
The spikes on the thorns weren't poisonous, or even harmful, but there was no sign of life here, because all the creatures here, including the birds that flew by, the eggs in the dirt, and even the plants were dragged into their sleep by a strange force.
Their lives seem to be frozen in this moment, they do not age, they do not die.
The fertile wetland forests are covered in thorns, and from now on there will be no more necks on the continent, but only a large thorn forest.
It cut off the link between the north and the south, locking the main road to the north, but it also protected the continent of Westeros.
Quietly among the thorns, there were only purple blackened vines and snow-covered snow, and the harsh winter put a coat on the thorns, but it could not hide its chill that was even more piercing than the bitter winter.
The whole thorn was silent, no longer the birds and flowers of other forests, or the birds and insects chirping.
Here, there is only an empty dead silence.
And along with this thorny forest, there are countless or even countless armies of ghouls buried underneath, as well as several interstellar trajectory cannons.
Several cloaked armed knights hovered near the entrance to the thorns, looking out at the black holes, the staggered jungle of thorns. They don't dare to step in easily.
Whether it was the awe of the miraculous thorny forest that had risen from the ground in just a few breaths, or the fear of their companions who were lying lifeless in the snow not far away, they did not dare to take another step.
In fact, the dividing line between this strange thorn forest and the outside world is obvious and easy to distinguish.
Because the sky is full of snowflakes. The cloaks and thorns on the shoulders of these knights were buried by the snow, but if you look closely, you will see that the snow has not fallen in the thorn jungle.
It was like a dividing line, cutting off the thorns from the outside world, and there was heavy snow outside, but there was not even a single snowflake in the sky above the thorn forest.
Although the thorns were also covered in silver, that seemed to be a long time ago, and as time was frozen, so were the snowflakes that covered the thorns. Not even melted anymore.
A few reckless knights rushed into the range of the Thorn Forest, but before they could take a few steps, even the men and horses fell to the ground, at first their companions thought they were in danger, and tried to go in to the rescue, but as their companions also fell to the ground, no one dared to go in again.
If you look closely, you can see that they are still breathing. I just fell asleep.
Although these knights sent by Sir Hellens as scouts did not want to stay here, they still needed to investigate the matter here diligently. So, after a moment of whispering, the team of five carefully bypassed the border of the Thorn Forest, and then dispersed in both directions.
The bitter cold wind brought with them fragments of their words.
“…… Incredible...... Forest ......"
"We want to repay ......"
"This ...... Who will it be? ”
Soon, the snow covered the footprints of the horses' hooves, sweeping away all traces they had left behind, as if they had never been here.
Only the Thorns know everything that happens here. And also...... Ghouls buried under thorns, and fish beams! ……
And the person who was talking about these people at this time also created all this uproar, but the state was not very good at this time.
Ever since he left the vicinity of the flames that emerged from the pit, Yi Huan had been feeling like his head was muddy. He saw a lot of strangely shaped creatures, they were ghouls, and he didn't know how many years of ghouls he had been letting go.
They all turned into skeletons, squeezed together by some external force, and they were all out of shape, and the outside world looked strangely hideous and terrifying.
The shattered skulls were shoehorned together, the leg bones and hand bones were connected, glued together by the gradually dissolving muscular mucous membranes, which looked infinitely disgusting and uncomfortable, and the ghouls were squeezed into deformed children, fused together because of the long time, and they could feel the rotten stench without even getting closer.
Yi Huan knew that none of this had happened, it was just an illusion, because it was only the thorns who could see all this, and he didn't know why he had the perspective of the thorn vine, which should be one of the sequelae of the sleeping spell.
The Sleeping Charm can be powerful or small, and its effects are different, and in the hands of different people, it can exert the effects of two completely different magics.
For example, a witch only needs an apple, but the price she pays is just as heavy, and the sacrifice of her beloved seems inevitable.
It's just that Yi Huan was a little complacent in his heart, it was rare for him to have such emotional fluctuations, because he had successfully deceived the magic, he had concealed the magic, and confused the sight of the sleeping spell with the heart and head of the person he didn't love at all.
But Maleficent doesn't seem to be so smart.
Yi Huan knew for a long time that the three laws of magic, or the energy magic of Oz, and the laws unique to higher-level magic such as fairy tale magic, could not make one person fall in love with another, could not resurrect the dead, and could not change what had already happened.
The first and last of them have been tested in Aphrodisiac and Barry respectively, and there may be different results when the magic is higher, but at least for now, it seems that the facts are in accordance with the law.
Only the second one remains, and Yi Huan seems to have broken this law when he used the Immortal Witch as a sacrifice, but he is not sure if the dead brought back are really the dead, because there are countless worlds, and there are countless people who are the same, they look the same, but they are different in the end.
It's a bit of a hassle to talk about, but the good news is that it doesn't say magic can't be deceived.
Maybe you can break these three laws by deception, even if you can't. It doesn't seem to be permissible to cheat other magical costs, such as the Sleeping Charm.
However, although Yi Huan was lucky enough to avoid the cost of the spell, he still lost a lot of mana, at least he felt very tired now, both physically. Still mentally.
Even when dealing with Lucifer at that time, Yi Huan didn't feel so tired.
Yi Huan didn't even have the energy to use magic to hurry, and yawned, he just wanted to find a place to sleep.
Some stumbled in the snow, Yi Huan knew that this was because he had not yet broken free from the influence of the Sleeping Charm, he was not really sleepy enough to use a spell, but because of the Sleeping Charm, he instinctively didn't want to use it.
He needed to stay away a little more, or he might have slept in the snow.
A bitter cold wind blew on the black wizard's robes. Wrapping his whole body tightly, the heavy snow soon buried Yi Huan into a white one, blending in with the surrounding snow, making it impossible to distinguish.
The fantasy in his mind still hadn't gone away, the broken and mutilated images flashed like a slide, and Yi Huan had become the most important guardian of the Sleeping Spell, Thorn, patrolling his territory over and over again.
Ghoul ...... Ghoul ...... Ghoul ...... Except for the ghouls and ghouls, the other creatures were basically invisible under the thorns. Only when there are too many ghouls will it appear to be everywhere.
Yi Huan tried to banish these ugly things from his mind. While he wasn't afraid of ghouls, it didn't seem like anything to anyone.
But suddenly, Yi Huan seemed to have captured something in a flashing picture.
Something was buried beneath the thorns, emitting uncomfortable fluctuations of magical power, like a light in the night, and there was even more than one of them. It's scattered all over the place.
What is it?
Without waiting for Yi Huan to take a closer look, the illusion began to fade, and at the same time, he felt an amazing heat source rapidly approaching here, to be precise. It's sub-light.
Barry...... Alan ......" Yi Huan thought with the only reason left after fatigue, "This guy is here, but he doesn't worry about finding Stark. ”
Yi Huan didn't hide his tiredness, and even disguised himself as more tired after squinting his eyes, he stood quietly in place, waiting for Barry to find him.
It can seem very troublesome to find a person in the midst of heavy snow and snow, especially when that person is also covered in snow and blends in with the surrounding scenery.
But it was easy for Barry, and sure enough, after Yi Huan stopped for a while, Barry, who turned into a streamer of lightning, instantly appeared in front of Yi Huan.
The method he uses is very simple and effective, that is, follow one direction, go back and forth little by little, and do not miss a trace of space.
But this method also only works in Bari.
"Are you alright?" Barry asked, holding the falling Yi Huan with his hands with yellow arcs.
Yi Huan perked up and looked at Barry in front of him, "I'm not hurt, it's fine, but I'm tired and sleepy, you know what spell I use." ”
Looking at Yi Huan's eyes that were still in good spirits but seemed to be tired, Barry breathed a sigh of relief, "That's good." He said.
The cold wind surrounded him, and Barry's protruding heat was frozen almost the moment he left his mouth, and Barry felt that Yi Huan's arm was very cold, so cold that he barely had a body temperature.
He suddenly felt as if he had seen this scene somewhere, no...... No, it's experienced, it's also icy and snowy, everything around him is also frozen, only himself, and there is a person in front of him, but not a man, but a woman.
A very familiar, but very unfamiliar scene.
It seemed that some kind of fragment of memory appeared in Barry's mind, but when he thought about it carefully, he couldn't see any memory, just instinctively, and a strange feeling welled up in Barry's heart.
This fragment of memory came and dissipated quickly, and Barry quickly broke free from it, but Barry, who was not good at disguise, still showed a trace of doubt, which was immediately captured by Yi Huan.
"What's wrong?" Yi Huanqiang asked with spirits.
In fact, Yi Huan is also very strange in his heart, what really happened to Stumped Barry?
Both of them have things to hide from each other, and even their team, all of them have things to hide from each other, and the moment the mystery is not revealed, no one will ever be able to guess the answer.
"No, nothing." Barry said in a bit of a panic, even he didn't know why he was flustered, was he afraid that Yi Huan would see that he had received a brief message from the future Barry, even if there was nothing in the message, only the meaning of the message itself from the future Barry.
"The snow is getting heavier." Barry said, "I'll take you back first, the hotel is always much warmer than outside." ”
"You forgot that I am a witch ......" Yi Huan smiled, feeling a lot less sleepy, he just wanted to say that his magic was not afraid of heat and cold, when he suddenly felt the scene around him regress like a lightning speed, and the next moment, he had come to the door of a strange hotel town.
The noise around him woke Yi Huan from his stunned state, and he saw that there were many militiamen around him who were poorly dressed, or even not dressed at all, and were patrolling completely in linen clothes and farm tools, although their eyes were a little vigilant, but they were not so hostile.
In the blink of an eye, Barry had already taken Yi Huan to Stark's location.
The speed of the speed force is really terrifying, if it is about moving with the heart, it is even more than the phantom shift, after all, the latter still needs the wizard himself to have a reaction time, and Barry is the speed force, and the speed force is Barry.
Pushing open the heavy wooden door of the hotel, Barry walked in with Yi Huan, "I'll be back...... ......" He was just about to shout a loud reminder to Stark or take him out of the awkward atmosphere when he saw the scene in the hotel and froze.
Because the tavern hall where he came out to look for Yi Huan was still deserted, I don't know when it was already lively, dancers and prostitutes abounded, although the quality was not very good, but it was very dissolute.
Although Gu Mo and Daenerys didn't like it very much, Tyrion and Stark had a lot of fun.
Barry was a little puzzled to see the little man in the middle of the crowd of women, he still had some impression of this dwarf, and quickly guessed that this was the result of his association with Stark.
His teammates were still fighting in front, and there was already a dance party in the back, which was indeed something Stark could do, but he was also worried about Yi Huan, and after seeing the two people at the door, he immediately broke free from the pile of women, and then walked over and gave Yi Huan a big hug.
"I knew you were going to be fine." He said.
"I can see it." Yi Huan looked at the women around him, and the people who were busy serving Daenerys food, and said, God knows how they managed to find so many women in this small town that didn't seem to be very wealthy, and even if it was rich food, it was difficult for Stark.
"It's already a party, and it's your style." Yi Huan smiled, "But I'm tired, I'm going to go up and rest first, you and Barry can play slowly." ”
"This ......," Barry stunned.
But Stark had already laughed, "Of course, Miss Winnie is already waiting for you upstairs." "He's narrow? said.
Sure enough, Barry saw that Winnie, who was originally full of murderous energy, was no longer here, no wonder Stark did this without anyone stopping her, seeing Yi Huan's unsurprised expression, there should have been a special way to notify her first.
Yi Huan smiled a little tiredly, and then walked up the stairs.
His return naturally means that the ghouls' troubles have been solved, and behind him, the cheers are getting louder and louder, and these ignorant farmers and prostitutes naturally don't know what is happening, thinking that Stark is making fun and venting.
With a burst of groggy thoughts, Yi Huan saw Winnie, and then fell into a deep sleep.
And in the middle of the night, Yi Huan, who was lying on the bed, suddenly moved slightly, the party outside had long since dispersed, Stark was lying in the pile of women and sleeping, but Yi Huan opened his eyes, and there was a trace of tiredness in his eyes. (To be continued.) )
