We slowly moved deeper into the forest. Surprisingly, the forest was very quiet and calm, as if absolutely no one lived in it. Not even the rustle of grass could be heard. It was very frightening, but Edgar explained this by the fact that we pass through a protective barrier and because of this the sounds are muffled.This went on for about two minutes. Until at some point I was almost deafened by a sharp bang, followed by a huge variety of different sounds of the forest.These sounds immediately reminded me of my childhood, when I came to my grandmother's dacha and spent the whole day with my friends in nature. But one sound still stood out from the general mass, although not ... It fit perfectly into the general environment ... It was a beautiful female voice singing some very interesting and bewitching melody.- Is it always like this? I asked Edgar.“Yeah…” he replied and took a deep breath. I missed this place...- How long do we have to go? Loire interjected into the conversatio
I took out two objects from the spatial ring. For all to see, I have provided the "Crown of Greed" and the "Necklace of Lust." As soon as I put them on the table, deathly silence hung in the hall.After a few moments, everything seemed to “sag” at once, and Lucille spoke.- It…? Will I take a closer look? - the girl turned to me.- Oh sure. I replied and pushed the items closer to Lucille.The girl carefully examined the objects, but was in no hurry to take them in her hands. Apparently, she roughly understands what it is. Although, this is not at all surprising. What did she call herself? Guardian of this forest? Most likely, her level of power is far beyond our understanding and she is familiar with these items.One thing I don't understand is why did the divine items appear in my world? And most importantly - in our era? Before us there were a huge number of worlds. Some kind of inconsistency ... Although, I found it here too. But he also received an item for the task ...Something
Time flew by imperceptibly, and now the dead of night has come.I sat on a bench near the house and continued to enjoy the silence of this beautiful place.Loire didn't lie when she said all the guys would sleep outside. She even managed to kick out the king, to say nothing of the rest. Still, strange people live in this world... It seems like a king and queen, but they behave like children.- Why you do not sleep? A woman's voice echoed in my head.I jumped in surprise and nearly fell off the bench.You're scaring me again! Is there really no other way to warn me that I'm awake?! And anyway, where do you always disappear to? We've got serious problems here! I mentally answered Elaine.- I was gaining strength ... Listen, where are you, and what are your problems? Elaine asked curiously.It took me about half an hour to tell her everything that had happened in the short time that Elaine had been away. She was too stubborn and found fault with every little thing. It felt like I was bei
After the conversation, everyone went about their business, and I remained at the table and thought about what Lucille had said about the shaman. Why can't a large number of people go to him? Doesn't like contact with the outside world? Or is the problem something else?Okay, we'll deal with this as we complete the task. And now you can go and sleep well. The path ahead is not close, and many dangers can await. Yes, and without portals, the expedition will be greatly delayed. But before that...I took out the items of the seven from the spatial ring and placed them on the table. And why did you fall for me...? Oh, I don't like it all... I don't feel comfortable being "chosen". Or maybe it's all my characteristics ... Luck really helps in many ways.By the way, what do I have there for free points?I called up a panel with information about my leveling.So…Level - 18Unique race - Ancient Vampire.Characteristics:Strength - 13 (+10)Agility - 26 (+11)Intelligence - 9Endurance - 12
Loire and Lyosha came out of the house and looked at me.- Ready? Let's go to. Luara turned to me.- Yeah. I said and together we went towards the forest.Along the way, I turned around a few times to take another look at the house where I had probably spent… Better days… At least since the monster and dungeon shit started."Don't look back again, my friend. I understand you perfectly, but let's move forward. If you want to be here again, you must first finish our business. Lyosha said and came up to me and patted me on the shoulder.“Yes, I understand… First things first…” I answered very quietly and looked sadly at the house for the last time, turned around and went forward with my friends.Ten minutes later, we again fell under the effect of the barrier, due to which all sounds around us subsided.- Frightening silence. Every time I'm in a situation like this, I feel like something is wrong…” Luara suddenly said. “Get ready, we should be out of it soon.” After that, we ... Judging
Having placed camp next to the gorge, we lit a fire and set about preparing food.Luckily, my supplies can keep us from worrying about food for weeks at a time. Loire was already wailing about the fact that it was necessary to bang the bear and then we would have food. They even gathered to hunt, but I stopped them in time, telling them about my supplies. The guys were very happy when they learned that I had everything they needed with me and they would not have to spend their energy searching for prey.After a bite to eat and a little rest, we nevertheless decided to go down.It was dark enough in the canyon, so I gave the guys a mushroom with a night vision effect. Torches could have been used, but that would have made our descent very difficult. True, we nevertheless prepared a couple of torches in advance, in case we have to linger below for one reason or another.- Look guys, we don't have insurance. Therefore, be extremely careful. Has anyone gone rock climbing before? Loire ask
Edgar's team. At the same time.In parallel with the journey of the guys towards the howling waterfall, Edgar, Rurg, Efil, Astria, Port and the rest headed west. Their detachment was much larger, and the main purpose of the trip was to go beyond the borders of the lands of Eloria.Their journey was much longer, but less dangerous. The only significant obstacle on the way was the "Desert of Death". Its length is about a thousand kilometers from east to west, and just now the guys have reached it.- Crap! Yes, it bakes like in a bath! Rugh said indignantly.- How long do we have to go through this inferno? Port asked, raising his head to the sky.- Yes, hell knows ... - Edgar replied.- What? Are you the king of this country and don't know how long to walk through the desert? Okay… Efil, do you even know? Port looked at the queen with interest.- I know, something in the region of nine hundred kilometers ... Plus or minus a hundred ... That's it, I can't. Why are we even going there? Op
For my birthday, my parents gave me Infinitum 8. Not a very expensive model of immersion capsule, but one of the best in its class. The most desirable gift for the fourteenth anniversary, because it is from this age that they begin to play the coolest and most popular game in the world – "Disgardium".As soon as the birthday celebration ended, and the guests dispersed, Dad smiled:- Can't wait to try?I nodded. Of course I can't wait! The immersion capsule is not some kind of antediluvian VR helmet with gloved manipulators!"Go ahead, Alex," Mom said and laughed as she hugged Dad.- Don't dive in for the first time! He shouted at me. -Alex?- Yes, Dad!I answered, already rushing to my room, where a capsule was waiting, tuned to me and completely ready for work.I hurriedly undressed, went inside, grabbed the metal handrails and froze. A few seconds passed, but nothing happened. Doesn't it work? I was about to run to contact the supplier when a stern voice rang out in the capsule:- A
