Chapter 720: The Old Man Who Rode a Donkey
The feeling of teleportation is not very good.
Especially for the druid's teleportation spell, the first thing to think about is not the comfort of the "passengers", but the environmental protection of the spell principle. That's even more uncomfortable!
Charlotte felt like she had been stuffed into a drum washing machine for a long time, and then squeezed out of the drain.
Even if he is as strong as him, he feels that the world is spinning, and he can't stand. Luna seemed to be crouching on the ground. As for Artoria and the governor, there was nothing to do, and strangely enough, Alice didn't have anything at all.
"Obviously, compared to Rabbitskin's uncomfortable teleportation, Rudy's is even worse! Vomit~" Charlotte held on to the tree for a long time, and Alice gently knocked him on the back.
"Let me see where we are now?" Charlotte opened the minimap, then zoomed out, and compared to the map he had copied from Yard, Charlotte found his location.
"It's about sixteen kilometers from Ecstasy, and we'll be there at noon. It seems that we will be able to catch up with tomorrow's harvest festival. ”
Charlotte and the others were teleported into a forest, surrounded by a large tree hugging three people, which seemed to be the waypoint set by Rudy.
Although it was only the beginning of October, it was already late autumn in the Northland, and the ground was covered with thick fallen leaves, and from time to time golden leaves fluttered like butterflies.
The forest is deep and the road conditions are very bad, and Charlotte can only drive the tricycle at a very slow speed.
Luckily, though, in about an hour, they found a dirt road. It seems that there are villages or towns nearby, and this road is often walked, and the flow of people is not bad depending on the vegetation.
Charlotte made a simple measurement: the line between the two points was the shortest, but it was straight towards Ecstasy City, and most of the way was dense forests or hills, not to mention the speed, and it was particularly bumpy. This is because the driver is a druid himself.
And if you can find a way that you can't do yet, although the twists and turns are far away, it should be very fast. Moreover, Ecstasy is the capital of Nonawi, and in the towns near Ecstasy, it is impossible not to have a direct road!
The front of the car turned onto the side road and traveled for more than 20 minutes. Charlotte's magical raven discovers a village.
Charlotte and the others didn't want to be shocked, so they put away their tricycles and walked close to the village.
Because this is not far from Ecstasy, it is a very mature and safe area. So the village is not like those gathering places that have been established in the wild, with log walls.
By this time the forest had left and the terrain had changed to open but slightly undulating hills.
At the end of September and the beginning of October, the farmer in the field had received the granary, and the geography was only a lonely scarecrow.
It's a rare time of year when there's no shortage of food and a leisurely time. From afar, some farmers can be seen tending to their yards, repairing fences or repairing their roofs.
For outsiders, the villagers are still quite wary. Their eyes were full of vigilance, and they never let go of the tools in their hands.
However, although the governor in the team looked like a well, he looked quite intimidating. However, Artoria and Luna are very relatable and charming, and with the little girl (Alice) in the team, the villagers are quite relaxed.
"Fellow, how do I get to Ecstasy City?" Charlotte regretted it.
As soon as he talked about his fellow countrymen, he couldn't help but want to take away everything else except for a stitch and a thread!
The person who was questioned by Charlotte was a middle-aged man, their house was a very sturdy wooden house, this kind of wooden house was made of wooden planks inside, adobe was used as a wall in the middle, and then the outside was covered with logs for insulation, which is a characteristic building in the Northland.
In the window of the wooden house, some thin hostess was holding a pair of children tightly. She was a little nervous.
The man saw that Xia Luo had a good attitude, and he was slightly relieved in his heart.
Among the adventurers, there are a mixture of fish and dragons, some are righteous and chivalrous, and some are morally corrupt.
Those guys do a lot of stealing chickens and dogs, and if it's not too much, others will do the same with them. After all, you can't just kill a chicken at the entrance of the village and you can hunt it down, right?
In fact, adventurers are not welcomed in the eyes of many ordinary people. After all, who would let go of a stable life and lick the blood on the knife?
Even if normal humans work hard, they can break through to bronze, and this kind of strength is very insecure in the adventure.
So the public's perception is: who is the good guy to take risks?
"If you follow this path, you will see an official road before noon. The official road is full of people and is very safe. Follow the official road to the north, and you can reach Ecstasy City. ”
It may be that Charlotte and his party are quite pleasing to the eye, and the man also advised: "I suggest you find a place to spend the night in the afternoon." If you walk, you won't be able to reach Ecstasy until the sun goes down. ”
In the cities of this world, the gates are about to be closed when the sun sets. So even if it was night, I had to stay outside the city gates.
It seems that this man has seen a little bit of the world. You must know that many farmers who have never left home in their lives speak very incoherently.
This man can clearly show the way, and can also think of the speed and progress of walking, he is already a character.
"Thank you for your guidance, and may Mother Earth fool you." Charlotte wiped her hand and placed five coppers on the railing. That's kind of a reward. If you use it to buy brown bread, it is enough for this family of four to eat for several days.
As for Mother Earth, it's not that Charlotte has faith. The main thing is that he saw the wooden figurine of the Mother Earth goddess in the house from the open window.
There are many farmers like this who believe in Mother Earth Goddess.
……
Charlotte, they hit the road again.
Of course, it won't be like the man said, take Route 11 (with both legs) to Ecstasy City.
Charlotte isn't racing, but he has a horse!
Pulling out the carriage from the half-plane, he and the governor sat on the wheels on both sides, driving the carriage leisurely......
With a small whip in his hand, he staggered forward in the carriage. Charlotte couldn't help but think of some of the past.
When he was a child, he grew up in his grandmother's house in the countryside, and he often did things like driving carriages and riding donkeys.
The donkey was too tall, so he led him to the wall and rode the donkey from the wall.
Not being killed by the broken chapter is really blessed by the god of broken chapters!
Since growing up, donkeys and horses are rarely seen in the countryside, but there are more tractors.
"Time flies and never returns, the past can only be recalled......" Charlotte hummed softly.
(Probably the vast majority of book friends have never ridden a donkey or driven a horse-drawn carriage.) I haven't even heard this song. I'm getting old...... )
The speed of the carriage was very fast, especially Charlotte as a druid, so that the horse did not dare to go west.
After a while, they were on the official road.
If it is said that the country dirt road is because there are more people walking, it is stepped out. The official road is specially cultivated.
The country is still relatively strong, and there are no large-scale riots or foreign enemies, so the political situation is relatively peaceful.
Therefore, this official road leading directly to the capital is in good condition.
Large gravel is the base, covered with gravel, and after several layers of tamping, the road becomes very strong and durable.
The pavement should be more than 20 centimeters above the flat ground, so as not to be soaked in stagnant water. The road surface is very smooth, and even the hard wheels of iron-clad wood do not feel particularly bumpy.
If you want to get rich and build roads first, at least this traffic is quite good.
After another hour and a half, the city loomed in the distance.
Ecstasy is a city located on the plains, because when it was first built, it was designed according to the scale of the capital by the dwarven master builders, plus several expansions later. Ecstasy City is now a behemoth.
According to Charlotte's eyesight, the walls were twenty meters high, more than five stories high. It is made of specially treated boulders and is extremely thick and strong.
"It's a nice city!" Charlotte praised.
"Hahaha! That's of course, welcome to the Northland man's paradise! I'm Ronald ......" spoke to a businessman who was in front of Charlotte and them.
The old brother was very talkative, because the queue waiting to enter the city for inspection was 100 meters long, and he and Charlotte chatted.
"Hey, Charlotte, you're ...... here," a voice called.
