Chapter 77: The Tin Knight and The Land of Deep Green (7)
Adelaide von Lennart recalled a scene from a novel she had read in the past.
Upon vanquishing the “Lord of the Lake”, we were full of hope.
Having overcome such a powerful magic beast, we thought there would be no more enemies that could block our path. Even the infamous Forest of Death would be nothing before our “Blue Westwind”.
It was all a mere illusion. The Lord of the Lake was not a tyrant ruling over the entire forest, but merely a local pack leader.
No matter how many we defeated, new enemies kept coming. Rocks, lakes, trees, there was nothing we could trust with peace of mind. Even every morsel of food was something to be cautious of.
Ah, humans. How powerless we are before nature.
A fictional adventure chronicle vividly describing the difficulties and hardships faced by first-class adventurers exploring a forest cursed by a witch.
Adelaide clearly remembered the protagonists struggling to survive amidst endless waves of attacks and unknown threats with unidentifiable causes.
And now, a scene very similar to that in the novel was unfolding before Adelaide’s eyes.
