Chapter 172: The Enemy in the Forest (1/3)

Hearing Eswig's words, several players around him couldn't help but glance at the situation of the entire station.

"Don't be stupid, will it be so easy for us to find someone who can be sent to follow us?" Eswig said.

Although Mystra has many portals to Arthur's various places, and even to many planes.

But for ordinary Arthur residents, in addition to relying on their feet, the carriage rental and hiring service at the post station can be regarded as a more comfortable way to travel.

This time, Wang Ningwei and her group of twenty people were going to Frosttree Town, a border town around Mystra, and then contact the sheriff of the town there, and after getting the information of the bandit gang, they would slowly start the plan.

It's just that a group of them encountered the problem of how to get to Frosttree Town in the first step, and Floating City didn't arrange any guides for them, at best, they just told them where to go and who to connect with.

The whole process is left to them, the players, to figure it out on their own.

This is also their group, after discussing it, they decided to come to the post house first, hire a few carriages, and want to rely on the coachman who knows the way to take them to their destination.

After all, there are so many legends about the wild on the forum.

At this time, Zhao Xu was standing next to a load-bearing wooden pillar, observing the twenty people in front of him from the corner of the shadow.

The magic book in his hand was about a ritual to go to the Garden of Joseph, the Hero Realm of the Outer Plane.

The reason why Zhao Xu was curious about this ritual was because all those who were injured and died in the plane of Joseph Garden could be resurrected at dawn the next day, as if they had enjoyed the effect of the ninth-level resurrection divine technique "Complete Resurrection Technique".

Of course, Zhao Xu immediately remembered how to abuse this dimensional effect.

However, listening to Eswig's words, Zhao Xu was still honest and leaned his body behind the heavy heavy pine pillar.

At the same time, he was also in the environment of the corner of the post station, guessing the information of another "guardian".

If it's just a group of ordinary players, then Floating City may really only use stocking to fend for players, otherwise it wouldn't be called a quest.

But considering that there is Wang Ningwei among them, and the possibility of assessing himself, Zhao Xu speculates that there must be twenty-one people in this team.

As for whether the other party is following him stealthily, or hiding in the spirit world, or even simply using spell effects such as Eagle Eye to monitor the situation in this area from afar.

At this time, Jiang Shan, who had been dealing with the post station, came back dejected and said to the players: "The post station said that the spare carriages have been requisitioned today, and the carriages that go to Frosttree Town on a regular basis will not leave until tomorrow afternoon. ”

After hearing this, several players who were close to them couldn't help but frown, which meant that their next journey was a little troublesome.

And Jiang Shan also frowned, he didn't expect that his first step to win over this group of players would be so frustrated, and he couldn't take the initiative to take the initiative to take everyone's journey and transportation, and then it would not be easy for him to dominate again.

At this time, he couldn't help but glance at Wang Ningwei and the two girls sitting on the wooden chair, he had given up the idea of obtaining those magic items from Wang Ningwei.

It's just that in the face of the other party who is quite popular, he has to think of a way to take away the faint dominance of the team from the other party.

After Zhao Xu's communication with the other party, several possibilities flashed through his mind.

He pulled out the stack of parchment that the middle-aged woman had handed him and looked at it again, one of which was a sketchy map of the journey from Mystra to Frosttree.

Originally, Zhao Xu thought that after he got Dashuangshu Town, he would start to worry about the safety of this team.

Now that I think about it, I'm afraid there is a faint hand behind my back that is already manipulating all this.

There is no extra carriage, and this kind of nonsense can only deceive people like Jiang Shan who have no common sense of life.

The entire Mystra, as the core town around, didn't have a surplus carriage, and it just so happened that the carriage to Frosttree Town would not be available until the next day.

It's clear that there's a mastermind behind this, forcing the group of players to reach Frosttree at a slower pace.

Zhao Xu looked at the ruler on the map, measured the distance with his fingers, and calculated a little.

His heart sank even more.

The coincidence is a bit excessive.

According to the speed of the carriage, they and the group could reach Frosttree Town before the night fell tonight.

Now, just by relying on everyone's legs, they will definitely have to stay in the wilderness temporarily.

Sure enough, after hearing Jiang Shan's statement, Eswig and Wang Ningwei both showed thoughtful looks.

Compared with Zhao Xu, who came into contact with the details of the entire itinerary earlier, they instantly reflected the situation they would face today.

Night raids have always been one of the most hated forms by players.

Even if they resist the attack, the spell slots used that night will be counted towards the next day's spell slots.

With one spell, there is one less spell the next day.

Zhao Xu can only hope that this group of players can honestly go offline to keep safe at night, otherwise his head will be big.

There is even a kind of spell that can't help but want to apply a "see through the invisibility" spell to see if there is a mage from the Floating City, who is here to laugh at this group of players.

"Then we won't be able to reach Frosttree Town tonight, why don't we make an appointment on the next night and tomorrow's online and offline times, so that we can set off in a unified manner?" At this time, Wang Ningwei stood up and suggested.

"Huh? Can't get there today? ”

"It's okay, coordinate with each other, basically everyone who can come to this task is coordinated with the time."

And Jiang Shan watched everyone discuss at this time, and hurriedly said, "Don't worry, I will take you to the nearby adventurer's house to purchase some tent sleeping bag materials later, if it is not enough, I can pay for it first." We're going to have a bonfire tonight. ”

As he spoke, he still glanced at Wang Ningwei proudly.

What could be better than an adventure in the wilderness over a campfire?

And Wang Ningwei saw that everyone accepted Jiang Shan's suggestion, but she didn't make a sound, just smiled silently and sat down again.

----------------------

Next, after Zhao Xu went out of the city with the large army, he found a corner and used the "Summoning Mount" spell to summon a light horse for himself.

Now Zhao Xu has a level 6 cast level, and the duration of his mount has also become 12 hours, basically paying attention to supporting it until nightfall.

Under the effect of the invisibility technique, Zhao Xu's mount was also invisible, and even the Ayn Stone suspended above his head was the same.

However, compared to a few mages such as Wang Ningwei who had learned to "summon mounts", the more than ten players present were all honest and practical to walk on their own legs.

They could only cast envious glances at Wang Ningwei and Eswig, secretly thinking that one day they would have to save enough money to learn this spell.

There is such a thing as a mount, and only when you walk on your own can you appreciate the convenience of it.

For comfort reasons, Jiang Shan chose "Summoning Mount" as his free learnable spell at the beginning, but later he found that the player's spell slots were very embarrassing, so in order to be able to succeed in front of everyone in the future, he still pressed down on the idea of using spells.

The main road leading from Mistra to Frosttree Town is one of those tree-lined paths, most commonly found in low, barren bushes.

Although the entire mage squad is composed of scattered players, everyone is also from Mystra, and they can still tacitly assign the formation, and the personnel are divided into three sections to advance.

"Do you think it's going to be risky tonight?" Eswig gently controlled the pony under him, and whispered as he approached Wang Ningwei's side.

"Let's be vigilant then, and after everyone's bonfire gathering, we will persuade them to go offline, after all, the wild is also a great risk." Wang Ningwei said with relief.

Eswig looked at the new mageists around him with a look of disgust, "I really thought I was out for an outing, haven't you read the post on the forum "One Hundred and One Ways to Die in the Wild"." ”

"You haven't been out yet." Wang Ningwei said with a smile.

However, she looked at the mages who were still chatting at the front, and her brows couldn't help but worry, and she analyzed in her heart what aspects of this adventure would test them.

After some discussion just now, the mainstream opinion of everyone is to choose to take the small road, rather to take some risks than save a quarter of the journey.

And Zhao Xu sat silently on the mount, inspecting his spell position.

His focus was on tonight's night raid, thinking about his next spell slot arrangement.

"Ahh

Suddenly, one of the mage players at the front screamed and fell to the ground.

On his chest was a half-cut arrow feather.
