Chapter 331: Battle Within Specifications (8/14)
There was no [Flagg] in the world, but when there were many people, there was [Flagg].
The so-called [event], which can be encountered but not sought, will only be remembered for a lifetime if it is sweet to the heart or painful to the bone.
Speaking of conscience, all the way over, the head of the guard only felt tired, but not tired.
So when I go to bed at night, I occasionally want to hold something in my arms, which may be more comfortable.
But the ancients said well, a three-legged toad is not easy to find, and a two-legged woman is not easy to find? When he returned to Alterac, with this identity, this status, and this merit, he was a baron of real power every minute, as for the fact that he seemed so hungry and thirsty?
Although he has some affection for Natalie, the secret hidden in this woman is too deep, so it is better to stay away.
The head of the guard stretched out his hand and sniffed it, as if he could still smell the smell, so he decisively rubbed his palm on the ground.
It's all hormonal fault, sleep, sleep.
After daybreak, the team found a small valley with two ends and built a simple camouflage shelter with sticks and spears.
Because he had to hide from the crystal spider swarm yesterday, the circle of the team was too big, and the captain of the guard calculated the time and distance, and felt that it was not suitable, so he stayed in the Valley of Dust and Fire for the night.
And the early morning departure, this is the rhythm of rushing to go on a date with the orc patrol, calculating the time, leaving at noon when the sun is at its highest, and arriving at the sea of ashes just before dusk in the afternoon.
So, this morning, the whole team hid under the curtain to go out in the shade.
"Do you have a way to find what you're looking for?"
The chief guard didn't feel sleepy at all, he sat uncomfortably on the spot, and still ran to talk to Natalie.
"Closer, I can sense ......"
"Miss, forget it if you don't pay, of course I'll pick a good one to say in order to get business. But I must remind you that our employment is only for ten days, and we are only responsible for you for ten days from the moment we enter the Sea of Ashes. However, do you know how big the Sea of Ashes is? ”
The chief guard spoke in his conscience and complained about Natalie.
“…… I don't know. ”
Natalie thought for a moment and shook her head.
"Have you ever seen a melting pot at the Thorsilver Outpost?"
"Hmm."
"The Sea of Ashes is smaller than the Great Melting Pot, and it is extremely small, extremely small."
Listening to the captain of the guard, Natalie exhaled softly.
"Hey, Miss, do you know how big the melting pot is?"
Natalie nodded.
It's over, the chief guard knows that his words have been in vain, another guy who has been deceived by his eyes.
Standing at the Seyin Sentry, you can see the melting pot at a glance when the weather is good, but that is a visual deception, a special effect of the terrain.
"The melting pot is at least the size of six Lordaeron cities. I've never been to Stormwind, but I think it's about the same as Lordaeron. Can you imagine looking for something the size of six Stormwind Cities? ”
Natalie finally hesitated this time, however, after a moment of worry, her eyes became more determined.
"Fate will show me the way."
The head guard turned his head and pretended to look at the scenery, not letting Natalie see the contempt on his face, and quickly turned back after adjusting his mental expression.
"I thought you would say that the Light is guiding you. I know a lot of priests and paladins who like to say that when things are in trouble. ”
However, after saying that, the chief guard regretted it, this sentence revealed too much information about himself.
But Natalie seemed to be distracted, and waited for almost a minute before she said in a tone that seemed to be sad and painful: "The Light will wash away the pain for you, but it will not tell you where you are going." ”
After that, Natalie bowed her head and prayed in the usual position of a pastor on her knees and crossed hands.
Come on, the small talk couldn't go on, it seemed that his words had evoked some heavy memories for Natalie, and the chief of the guard shrugged helplessly and got up to leave.
After lunch, pack their bags, process the traces, and get ready, the team sets off again.
During this period, the chief of the guard found that the crystal spiders on the road were indeed much rarer. Carefully dodging a careless orc patrol, the small expedition finally reached the outskirts of the Sea of Ashes before the sun completely submerged into the distant mountains.
If the orcs are so lax, I'm afraid they will suffer a lot.
It wasn't the first time the chief of the guard had been to the Sea of Ashes, and instead of marveling at the wonders of nature, he was contemplating the performance of the patrol before.
It's too careless, not even talking about the basic queue and lineup, carrying an axe is similar to a walk, it's completely perfunctory, I'm afraid even the patrol route has shrunk.
Natalie and the Legionnaires of the Guards, who saw the Sea of Ashes for the first time, couldn't help but exclaim.
The ash dust, which is more delicate and light than gravel, rolls and undulates like the waves of the sea under the caress of the hand of the wind. The ashes, which are full of heavy metal particles and quartz fragments, scatter a dazzling light under the illumination of the light.
From afar, it's stunningly beautiful.
"Let's go when you've seen enough. The first law of nature is that the more beautiful it is, the more deadly it is. The next road is not easy to walk. ”
The chief guard remembered Brian. Copperbeard's admonition, sighed softly.
Once you're in the Sea of Ashes, there's no need to hide from the smoke and dust of a campfire. After eating dry cakes and dried meat for so many days, even if they just mix these dry cakes and dried meat with water and boil them into a paste, everyone eats them very sweetly.
After dinner, the sun finally retracted its rays, and the sky was getting dark, and the captain of the guard ordered his men to start making tools.
Hundreds of kilometers of wooden planks were cut into shape, pierced holes, and fixed with wedges, and a pair of large shoes for walking on the ashes were made.
"Huh? Only six pairs were made, what about the others? ”
Natalie asked, confused.
"Do you think there's food in the Sea of Ashes? Do you think everyone is in, what will you do when you get home? Miss, at first I thought you were an experienced traveler, so why do you ask some stupid questions. ”
The chief of the guard was a rare relaxation, and teased Natalie with a slight flirtatiousness.
"In this hellish place, it's useless to have a lot of people. There will be four people who have been to the Sea of Ashes to work with you for ten days. Also, make six pairs of these shoes to prevent accidental damage, and the people who go in add you only five. We will set up a small camp on the periphery to defend against possible enemies, as well as to gather food and wait for your call for help. ”
"That means I spent five hundred gold coins to hire twenty people, and only one hundred gold coins worked?"
Natalie asked with her hands on her hips and in a calm tone.
"You ate the tenth loaf and you were full, and the first nine were for nothing?"
Not to be outdone, the chief of the guard sarcastically said.
"It's really not gentlemanly, I'm just complaining."
After Natalie finished speaking, she turned to leave, as if she wanted to try how to walk in such a bulky dick.
After Natalie walked away, the chief guard winked, and soon several veterans came over.
"When that stupid girl enters the Sea of Ashes, we will act immediately, preset the No. 123 lurking camp, set up a two-person rescue station around the Ashes, the hunting team will collect food resources, and the observation team will let them out to explore the wind. Stay safe, I smell the war getting stronger. ”
"Yes." (To be continued.) )
