Chapter 47: The Fault Lake
The next morning, the Mercenary Guild of Blackstone Town
"That's great! This mission will allow us and the team to upgrade to F rank, wahahahaha! We won't get tired of a few more good things like this!" Xiaoyu watched the G on his mercenary badge turn into F, and the smile on the corner of his mouth couldn't be hidden. The pen %fun %pavilion www.biquge.info couldn't help but take the badge and wipe it.
"Okay, don't think about being a big fat man in one bite, I just took a few F-class missions to Dragon City and got ready to go. Arin looked at his badge and thought to himself that if he did this kind of task again, he should be promoted to D-rank, which is good!
Vino just smiled and put the quest item into his spatial ring. The quest items picked up by the way are not large, nor are they living creatures, so they don't take up space when placed in space.
"Captain, can we go?" asked the merchant Adi in a loud voice outside the Mercenary Guild, ordinary people are not allowed to enter the Mercenary Guild at will unless they have a commission.
"It's coming!" Xiaoyu responded, thanked the girl at the front desk, and turned around and went out. The other two thanked her and left, not seeing the pensive expressions of the girls behind them.
Turning over on their mounts, Xiaoyu and the others still set off according to the formation they came. Knowing that Xiaoyu and their great achievements last night, the residents of the town basically ran out to see them off and express their gratitude. The women held up baskets of fresh bread, the children carried dustpans full of fresh fruit on their heads, the old men filled their leather bags with fresh milk, the maidens brought garlands, and the men brought home-brewed wine.
Xiaoyu just took a pear from the dustpan on a child's head, and then smiled and thanked him loudly. The people of the town are not very wealthy, but they give away the best things in the house. The guards were embarrassed to accept everyone's kindness, but Adi's child was lying on the car window, and an older child threw an apple into the window behind him.
"Go back, rest assured, there won't be robbers attacking you for a long time. We don't coax you to coax anyone, the mercenary group will wander in the Dutan Empire for a while, and the Blackstone bandits will only come to us if they want revenge. Out of town, Arin, who was walking last, waved his hand to the cavalry captain and signaled them not to send them away.
"Thank you, and may the gods bless you. Queue up, salute!" The cavalry captain stopped where he was, and organized the whole cavalry to make a cavalry salute to the departing caravan.
From Blackstone Town to Dragon City, except for a section of waterway on the way, the rest of the road is flat. However, the most dangerous place in this section of the journey is that section of the waterway, it is said that there are many kinds of water-based demonic beasts living in that waterway, and one of the most powerful is a seventh-level demonic beast. It is said that when you get to the pier to take the ferry, you have to gather a certain line to get the ferry. Then, before the ferry, the dock will fill an unmanned boat with food and let Shui Bo give the boat to the seventh-level demonic beast as a sacrifice to pray for the safety of the waterway.
"Is that waterway a big river?" Xiaoyu chatted with Adi, very interested in this waterway.
"No, it's a big lake, it's called a fault lake. Adi sat next to the coachman, and he deliberately came out of the carriage to chat with Xiaoyu next to him.
"Since it's just a lake, it's still so dangerous, why don't you take a detour? The lake can always be bypassed, right?" Xiaoyu took out a leather water bag from the space ring and drank water, yesterday there was no wind, and today it was too windy. Phew, if you are not careful, the wind and sand will pour into your mouth.
"It was a huge lake, very, very big. The source and end of the lake are huge waterfalls, and this road is a necessary path in the middle of the fault. We had to cross the past from the center of the lake and had to take a ferry. Adi took a veil from the butler in the carriage behind him to cover his mouth and nose, and he was a perennial traveling merchant who was ready for all kinds of preparations.
"How long does it take to get from here to the lake?" Xiaoyu can't imagine what it looks like, the environment of this world is completely different from the earth, and there is no such direction as the terrain is high in the west and low in the east. Forests, meadows, mountains, lakes, rivers, basins, deserts, snow-capped mountains, and so on all appear very randomly, and there are huge snow-capped mountains standing next to the oasis cities in the center of the desert! What inland areas are full of large and small lakes that have become like islands on the sea, and grasslands have appeared in basins, and there are such good ends of the earth that inexplicably have faults and formed large waterfalls. Xiaoyu has a headache when he sees this thing in geography, so when he first came to study, he basically didn't touch a geography book. In a word, the geography of this continent cannot be inferred by the common sense of the earth.
"The lunch break is a little shorter, and if you hurry, you can get to the pier when it gets dark. Let's hope we're lucky enough to catch just enough people so we don't have to wait days to get people in time. Adi Urn replied angrily.
"Then it's decided, hurry up and hurry!" I don't know what it will look like, she has drilled into all the large and small lakes in the Warcraft Forest, and she has seen a lot of good-looking or unsightly water-type Warcraft. I hope the lake isn't too ugly and not too scary.
"What the hell is that girl going to do, so excited?" Alin watched from the back of the group, raising his eyebrows slightly. Look at Vino walking in the middle, who is already lying on the back of the big lion and sleeping, I don't know what night it is. Forgive the newbie, it was understandable that a weak magician would be so tired after spending a lot of mana last night.
The caravan rushed to the fabled ferry port at night. The open space on both sides of the ferry port was full of convoys, some large caravans set up a bonfire in a semi-circle, several small caravans also separated their own places with their cars, there were only cars and caretakers, and some were reluctant to spend high accommodation fees to set up tents in the open space. There are two buildings next to the pier, one is the ferry check-in and ticket office, and the other is the hotel.
"We're a little late, and I'm afraid there aren't any rooms in the hotel, so a few of us may have to give in. Adi sent a housekeeper to register and buy a ticket, and sent a servant to the hotel to inquire, and the answer was that there was no room for it, but they were welcome to eat in the hall.
"Then let's set up a tent to stay!" Xiaoyu looked around, she had a feeling of being in a wild campsite on the earth, she liked camping very much! She had bought a complete set of camping tools, and she hadn't had a chance to use them yet! When she got here, she didn't need to keep vigil, she could sleep well!
"Okay, the villain will let people find a place right away, please wait. Adi wiped his sweat and hurriedly ordered to go down.
"The situation is a bit not good, it is said that the monsters in the lake have been making a lot of noise these days, and the people here have been stranded for several days and have not passed. "The housekeeper brought back not very good news, the people at the dock haven't numbered the boat these days, and the Warcraft is making a lot of noise, and they don't dare to sail, so everyone can only wait, when the Warcraft will stop making trouble, and when will it pass. No wonder there were so many people camping, and they thought that the recent celebration to be held in Dragon City attracted a large number of caravans. After doing it for a long time, there was actually no boat, so more and more people were accumulating.
The good positions are almost occupied, either it is too far from the dock to go to the dock to inquire on the second day, or it is too close to the lake for fear of being attacked by the monsters in the lake at night. Adi dragged his slightly obese body and ran covered in sweat, and his caravan was not big or small, and he was not happy to place people anywhere.
In the end, Xiaoyu made the decision to live near the lake, and the three of them set up their tents on the side by the lake, then the fire, then the caravan's tents, and finally the wagons and horses. If anything, the trio were able to resist for a while and let them evacuate. Adi can only respond, this is no way.
God willing, I hope there will be good news tomorrow and you can sail.
