Chapter 965 The Secret of the Forest

To the northwest of Neverwinter City, in the hinterland of the Hidden Forest.

Sheya felt that the past month and a half since he joined the railway engineering team was the most incredible period of time in his life.

No... He thought that using "most" to describe it might not be appropriate, because every once in a while, he could always see incredible things - it was as if he had never really known Neverwinter.

Sheya finally understood why workers who came here had to sign a confidentiality agreement.

The agreement required them not to report the visions they saw to others. Whether it was oral or recorded, it was a crime against the laws of the kingdom, which could range from fines and confiscation of income to the North Slope Mine and forced labor. The agreement also emphasized that those who are unwilling to comply can withdraw from the engineering team, but do not take any chances. The Kingdom Security Bureau is responsible for inspections, and no one can escape the ubiquitous law.

Sheya had disapproved of this. There was a possibility of being caught in the written record, so how could he keep everything in his oral account? If someone is arrested after reporting someone, the project will not be implemented. But now, he has a completely different view. How many secrets are hidden in the city of Neverwinter under the control of His Majesty the King may far exceed his imagination. Perhaps there are secrets surging in places that most people cannot see. Amazing power.

The one who impressed him most was the witch.

Bai Zhi is also a witch, but in his eyes she has always been someone who needs protection. When the church publicized that witches were evil people who inherited the power of the devil, he didn't take it to heart. If they are so powerful, why are they hunted everywhere by the church, and they don't even dare to show their heads?

But this concept was broken by a witch named Lord Ye.

Snake Ya never thought that someone could control the entire jungle by himself.

The area the engineering team entered seemed not to be a hidden forest, but the belly of a wild beast - this was especially obvious when laying the railway. The vines formed an endless network above the roadbed, and the rails were wrapped and dragged forward. After reaching the designated location, they dropped to the ground, like fruits on the vines. Wherever the railway is built, the trees on both sides will separate themselves, saving even the effort of felling. At the same time, the surrounding tree canopy will grow very densely, covering the entire sky to avoid attracting the attention of the devil.

In addition, the forest can also actively attack those beasts that are close to the engineering team. If one day they can get a bowl of fresh broth, then some blind beast must have broken into Lord Ye's territory.

Snake Ya had the opportunity to see the other party, but he was not sure whether Lord Ye Zi was still a human being. Her whole body showed a strange green color, which looked like a gem from a distance. And it moves as if it has no body, and can move freely among the branches.

If it were him in the past, he would have been frightened and screamed loudly - with such ghostly movements and bizarre appearance, it is not surprising that he was slandered as a minion of the devil. At that time, the only thought in his mind was: Fortunately, Bai Not so with paper.

However, Sheya didn't dislike him at all, and even felt sincere respect for him. Because His Majesty once said at the investiture ceremony that he was able to keep everyone fed in Neverwinter precisely because of the help of Witch Ye Zi. Everyone who is freed from hunger and hardship is a beneficiary of her ability, and for this merit alone, Ye Zi should be forever remembered.

Snake Ya is naturally one of the beneficiaries.

Apart from the witch, another discovery may be his personal secret.

That was what happened after the First Army entered the Hidden Forest.

Ever since the devil attacked Neverwinter, the call for counterattack has become more and more intense. Even in the wilderness, the workers are still discussing this issue. He is not--0---0-- for the arrival of this day. -Small--said---this is the gorgeous dividing line--Let go of that witch 00 novel netizens please remind: please pay attention to resting your eyes when reading for a long time. 00 Novel Recommended Reading: The Proud God of the World -0--0---Xiao--said---this is a gorgeous dividing line---I was surprised.

A large number of soldiers go to the front line every day. It is obvious that His Majesty the King is serious about taking action. Unlike the knights he had seen traveling before, most of the soldiers who went on the expedition were acquaintances from the neighborhood - either they were familiar with this one or that one. Therefore, whenever an army passed by, the workers would always stand in the way to welcome it. The scene was so lively. . I thought that building a railway far from the border would be a cold and dangerous chore, but I didn't expect that it was not like that at all.

Snake Ya's experience in this area is far less advanced, so rather than squeezing in and joining in the fun, he prefers to watch the train alone, or even climb up and touch it when the train stops.

But what happened to him two weeks ago was terrifying.

It was a locomotive dragging six carriages, parked at the section he was responsible for participating in the construction of, which was the latest end of the railway. There were two huge objects stacked on the roofless flatbed truck, one of which was more than twenty meters long. It was covered with a layer of canvas, so it was hard to tell what they were.

This was normal. If the goods transported had nothing to do with the engineering team, then they must be military supplies. He had no intention of finding out. But Snake Ya happened to have a stomachache that day, and when he ran out of the tent in the middle of the night and wanted to find a place to release himself, he was shocked to see the canvas squirming!

After several warriors who were obviously dressed differently from the soldiers of the First Army untied the ropes that fixed the canvas, a sturdy soft monster crawled out of it! But what was even more surprising was that the monster started talking human words, and its voice was quite pleasant! The first sentence is "I'm hungry, is there anything to eat?"

At that moment, Snake Ya felt the hair on his back stand on end. He had almost imagined the samurai's cold reply: "Ah, yes. The workers in this camp are all food, so go and eat as much as you like."

But this did not happen. The warriors hugged it affectionately, and then moved out ham, vegetables and bread from the last carriage...all in wooden barrels as high as one person. The two worms wolfed down the food, and then disappeared deep into the forest with the warriors.

Snake Ya didn't even dare to take a breath and hid behind the tree until the footsteps faded away. By the time he confirmed that the other party had left, his pants were already soaked...

Within two days, a strange station appeared next to the track - an arch-like building made of cement and masonry, with a bottomless hole inside. Although workers came in and out, no one knew about it. Where does it lead. Several steam engines were set up on both sides of the cave, blowing air continuously into it, which looked weird no matter how you looked at it.

He also kept this matter firmly in his heart.

Sheya originally thought that he would be scared and want to quit the railway engineering team, but his mentality recovered faster than he imagined afterwards - this is called an exciting life! This is the true face of Neverwinter!

When he said goodbye to his companions and first arrived in the forest, he always felt like a rootless duckweed. This feeling was especially obvious when his co-workers received letters from their families and happily shared them with him. But gradually, he was attracted by various novel events, such as the perfectly connected smooth tracks, the beautiful singing of the forest, the elusive giant sand wolf that would not be attacked by Master Ye, and the fact that he always came here to pray on specific days. The man waits...

This made him feel that he was getting closer to the unknown side of Neverwinter and integrating with the city.

Sheya wants to keep all this in mind, waiting to tell his friends one day - there is no better evidence that he is an old city citizen than knowing a city, even if he does not have so many familiar neighbors, no one can Deny this.

The confidentiality agreement is only for five years.

He looks forward to that day.
