Chapter 319: The Boat
On the way back, I kept playing with the half-diamond-shaped stone I got from the altar, the gray stone was about a finger long, it looked rough, but it was unexpectedly smooth to the touch, one side was uneven, like a fault, so I guessed that this should not be a complete item, as for the idea of collecting the remaining stones, I didn't think at all, the Dark Continent is so big, this is undoubtedly more difficult than finding a needle in a haystack.
Throwing it into a corner of the inventory, Tia, who was lying on the snow quilt, let out a soft groan and opened her eyes faintly.
"Tia, are you awake? How's it going, is it better? ”
In a state of mental weakness, I was very worried about what kind of shadow or sequelae would be left in her heart.
Slowly raising her head, Tia's eyes were unfocused, she glanced around blankly, the surrounding scenery gradually became clear, and finally, she fixed her gaze on me, fixed for a few seconds, suddenly showed a look of fear, and subconsciously retreated, but did not realize that she was on Xiaoxue's back, and fell to the ground with a "pop".
"Tia, how are you ......?"
I was about to step forward and help her up, but she avoided retreating like a snake and scorpion until she retreated to the corner, waving her hands, and shouting in a sobbing voice: "Don't come...... Don't come over ......".
It seems that it is not Duriel who has left a shadow in her heart, but me, and I expected this situation, after all, in retrospect, even I was deeply afraid of "me at that time", and I am afraid that the nervous Raal trio, and Sarah, who loves me deeply, can understand and accept, and I am not surprised that Tia has this reaction.
Not unexpected, just. It's a little lonely......
Tia hugged her knees, buried her pretty face in it, and shrunk alone in the corner and sobbed softly, I stood at a loss, looking ahead, my eyes out of focus. Thinking about what to do in my heart, at this time, let her be alone for a while, crying enough, she will always calm down, and then go back silently, silently separate, as long as you have the heart to avoid, you will never meet again in this life, so it's good.
"Fan Fan ......"
A thin moaning sound sounded in my ears. Phantom sound? Not quite like that. I turned my head in surprise. Tia had stopped trembling. Half a pair of cute eyes lifted from inside the knees. Look over like a timid rabbit. It's completely different from the usual energetic appearance. Weak and lovely Tia. It adds a bit of feminine charm.
"How...... What's wrong? ”
I was amazed at the sudden turnaround. More of a trembling. The voice couldn't hide the joy. Walk up gently. Tia didn't shy away.
"Naw. Fan Fan ......"
Just walked in front of her. The sleeve was grabbed by a small hand. Then gently pull it down. I squatted down. Squatting face-to-face with Tia holding her knees. The distance is less than half a meter. And then. In my astonished eyes. Tia fell forward. The forehead was on my arms.
"Fanfan. Sue sù me. It's all hallucinations just now. Right. ”
I opened my mouth, and I knew that I couldn't say the word "yes", whether it was for her or for myself.
"It's an illusion, right!!"
It was as if sensing my determination. Tia's hands suddenly went around my waist. hugged it tightly and pushed up his forehead. It almost made me angry when I was about to speak.
"Well, that's right."
Feeling the weakness in her tone, I couldn't help but sigh and gently hugged her head, to be honest, I really don't quite understand what Tia is thinking now, deceiving herself? Isn't her blue blood-stained garment already illustrated? I really don't understand a girl's heart.
"Wow Fanfan, I'm scared to death, I'm really scared."
As soon as the words came out, it became the fuse for the collapse of Tia's tear glands, so close to my chest, she cried loudly, warm tears quickly wet my chest, I even suspected that she was releasing the tears that had been stored for more than ten years in one breath.
I don't blame Tia for her weakness, she's just a seventeen or eighteen-year-old girl, living in this closed village where there is no quarrel with the world, and I can only blame this cruel world.
Finally enough of crying, the voice was quieter, and then the traces of her crying were gone—if I went back like this, and let others see her red eyes, they would 100% think that I had bullied her.
"Let's go back with the teleportation scroll."
Seeing that she was almost restored, I immediately built yì, and it would take at least ten days to go back from here, which was really not very cost-effective.
"Woo teleportation scrolls? It's too extravagant. ”
Tia, who was still holding my sleeve and refused to let go, pouted, and immediately entered the mode of being a thrifty housewife, which made me smile bitterly, but in the Hradik tribe, which lacks materials, the teleportation scroll is indeed very precious.
"Don't worry, our budget-conscious little housewife, Ms. Tia, will not worry about the teleportation scroll after the teleportation station is opened."
I'm lying a little, even outside, teleportation scrolls are unusually precious, and many mercenary-level adventuring teams, or even entire teams, only have one or two.
"What? I'm only 17 years old, so I'm not a housewife, Fanfan, you're so rude. Tia suddenly curled her mouth in protest at my ridicule.
When he tore open the teleportation scroll and was about to step into the teleportation array, his sleeve was suddenly pulled hard.
"Fanfan, will you blame me for being too weak." Tia's muffled voice rang out from behind.
"How come, I haven't even killed a chicken at your age, you've done a good job." I sighed and smiled slightly.
"I ...... After I go out, I will have a good experience, I will, and in the future, I will definitely be able to face it, so ...... So don't be mad at me, okay? ”
"Well, I'll cheer you on."
I turned around and gently patted Tia, who was tugging at my sleeve and lowering her little head on my chest. The little one has finally grown up.
Back in the village, we told Zacron about the experience, and we got the news from him that the village teleportation station would be connected to Camp Rog within a few days, which was good news, and I hurriedly found Acala. Knowing that the discussion with the Heradic tribe has also reached the final stage, after the teleportation station is opened, within a month, the camp will successively welcome 600 Heradic mages, including 100 transfers, 500 mercenaries, and the soldiers will not be used for the time being, after all, considering the limited throughput of the camp, too many strange adventures will pour in together. It's also not easy to manage.
However, mages are a popular profession and have always been in short supply at Camp Rog. Therefore, we believe that these 600 Heradik mages will soon be part of the camp's adventures, and it is estimated that the next batch of Heradics will be half a year later.
Of course, in addition to this, there is also the problem of materials, which is also a trivial matter, the Heradik tribe has been closed for nine thousand years, and the accumulated gold coins must be a lot, as long as there is money, it will be easy to do. The Dark Continent of Nuoda can't afford to supply supplies for 50,000 people, just some scarce goods, such as teleportation scrolls and other things, still need to be discussed, the best way is for the Heradik clan to collect materials in person, anyway, the last thing they lack is combat power.
Another point that is still being discussed is the question of opening up to the future, after the Heradik people's ties with the outside world have been stabilized. Whether to connect the village's teleportation station to other teleportation stations, allow adventure logins, and use this place as one of the adventure gathering places, this is indeed a question, opening up to the outside world does more good than harm to the village's economic and cultural exhibition, but it also depends on whether the arrogant Heradic people want to develop the economy, whether they can look down on the culture of other races, but when I convey the news of Duriel to the Great Elder. The Heradics were noticeably more relaxed. After all, if you gather a lot of adventures, you won't have to worry about Duriel running out to make trouble in the future.
These are all things I heard from Akarana. Of course, there is definitely more to the private agreement, how can the treacherous and cunning Akara let the Heradik not use it? Of course, Isaacron's elders are not vegetarians, everyone just cooperates with each other to achieve a win-win situation, at best, who benefits more from it.
When I was caught by Akara and instilled these things, on the other side, the Hradik also welcomed another guest, Karot, who had been following us, and a few days after we entered the village, he also quietly lurked, of course, he didn't want to get along with the Heradik, but just wanted to see if the legendary Heradik had anything he needed.
However, his luck does not seem to be very good, with his strength, he quickly swept most of the ancient tomb, but there is nothing useful, think about it, even if there are any good things hidden in the original ancient tomb, it should have been moved back by the Heradic people who have lived here for thousands of years, which turn to get him, so he set his eyes on the mage tower, but what is more unfortunate is that there is a stingy old man who is known as Rog's first stingy ghost in it, When Carrot casually stepped into an empty library, Farah appeared behind him, casually taking a book from the shelf and slowly flipping it open.
The slight movement made Carlos turn around suddenly, and when he saw Farah who appeared behind him at some point, his neck suddenly fluttered.
"Teacher Farah, it's been a long time." Carlos bowed slightly.
"Hehe, didn't we just see each other last month?" Farah said lightly, her eyes never looking at Carlos.
When you first started tracking, was it already revealed? Carlos was stunned, embarrassed and didn't know what to say.
"Hey!! You and Seattleck, I can be regarded as growing up, and now, I am old, and I can no longer guess what is going on in your head, I know a little bit about you, but there is nothing you want here. ”
Farah turned his head, changed his old disrespect, looked at Carrot deeply, and threw the book in his hand.
"The Heradiks here don't seem to have much useful information."
He sighed, he had been staying in the Mage Tower to study these days, although many of the materials in it opened his eyes, but it was only that, the once glorious Hradic clan would never be left with these superficial things. Kane, who studied with him, agrees with him.
"I'll give you a Jianyi, maybe you should go to the Hradik tribe in the second world to have a look, you must have been following behind for so long, you should know what to do." With that, Farah turned around. Don't look at Carlos anymore.
Silently flipped through the books in his hand, Carlos's face was gloomy and uncertain, and finally showed a deep sense of loss, clutching the jade in his arms, his gaze redetermined.
"The student understood."
Putting the book back in its place, Carlos saluted again, turned around, and paused again.
"Teacher Kashya, is she okay?"
"Good. Okay, it's very good, I drink and fight every day, and I can't die. Farah replied angrily.
"So. The student quit. Carlos, whose face was expressionless, smiled warmly at the corners of his mouth and strode away. Well, it looks like there's another good helper.
Looking at Carlos's disappearing back, Farah showed a sly smile, it is not easy to find the Hradic staff of the second world, with Carlos, a skilled master, the progress will undoubtedly be much faster, and he is now a little impatient to know what good things are in the Hradic clan in the second world, if it is not for the affairs of the camp, he can't leave. Farah might even be able to walk on his own.
However, speaking of Carlos, this kid is really not the protagonist's material, and the first world can't be said to be without good things, the Hradic Cube, the soul inheritance of Tarasia, which is not an opportunity for him to break through the bottleneck? It's just that none of the imps have to go, this is probably the so-called "gears of fate are turning", Farah sulked fiercely and shook his head. Buried in the sea of books again.
Coming back from the ancient tomb, it's the fourth day, and the days are quite leisurely, with Tia, a lively little girl, accompanying her all day long, and the days are not boring, but the eyes of the Hradik men around me seem to be much fiercer, is it my delusion? I can't see that Tia is so popular in the clan.
Of course. I don't think she's enthusiastic about me. It's the so-called love, at best, it's just a little good. Her temperament is like this, she has a friendly and enthusiastic attitude towards everyone, and I, a foreign monk, are good at chanting scriptures, and I have a lot of strange insights in my head, so it is natural to be able to get her friendship, so please don't look at me with such terrifying eyes, okay?
So on the fifth day, of course, Tia dragged my sleeves down the street, allowing me to fully experience how a gaze turned into a "sword and sword shadow", and the elders who were eager to engrave the magic array on the door of their heads finally wore the news and the portal between the Rog camp was opened.
"Whew"
Everyone on the street cheered, and even Tia jumped up with joy, and the scene hanging on me seemed to be accepted.
On the second day of the opening of the teleportation array, we are going back, Akara and the three of them have to return to the camp as much as possible, preparing to accept the Hradic people, 600 mages, but different from 600 civilians, if one is not good, it may make the whole camp chaotic, as for me, the elder I searched for on the Internet, it is purely accompanied by friendship, and it doesn't matter if I don't go back or not, but I don't want to stay here anymore and enjoy the baptism of those eyes.
Grand Elder Zaklon took several other unnamed elders, followed by nearly a thousand onlookers of the Heradic people to see us off, and most of the people who followed behind were uncontrollable young people, their eyes were naturally not us, but the teleportation array that was opened, but no matter how eager they were in their hearts, none of them asked to go out, but waited for the quota allocation in the clan, which shows the discipline of the Heradic people.
"Fanfan
As I walked up the steps, Tia's voice came from behind, didn't this little guy say that he was too sad to come, and what happened? I looked back and saw her squeezing out of the crowd, bouncing and waving at me.
"Remember to come back and see me"
I waved to her from afar.
"And
What's the matter, I looked back again with tears and laughter.
"My body can be ready at any time, you can come and ask for it at any time!!"
"Poof"
I vomited three liters of blood, fell on the steps with one foot, and finally got up, and was pierced by hundreds of eyes that seemed to be substance, and fell down weakly again.
"This ...... This is a misunderstanding, a misunderstanding!! ”
Facing Akara's meaningful gaze, I tried to explain, in the countless murderous gazes behind me, I almost bent down into the teleportation array, and at the moment when the white light flashed, I subconsciously turned my head, and now the killing intent emitted by the hundreds of young men in Heradic seemed to condense into a huge black skull in the sky.
It seems that you will have to be careful around when you practice in the future, and you may be overwhelmed by lightning fireballs and icicles at some point.
After returning to Rog, I fell into the house for a few days before finding Acala.
"Akara, didn't you say that I had already defeated Duriel, so I would be exempted from Rugoin's test and let me go directly to the seaport of Kurast? It should be counted. "In view of the fierce competition in Lugoin's mini-boss, Akara plans to include "defeating Duriel" in one of Lugoin's test ranges, of course, this must wait until the Heradik clan agrees to open the teleportation array, and I, the first time I eat crabs, naturally have to take a ride.
"Of course." Akara said with a smile.
"Then just let me use the teleportation station and go directly to Kurast!"
Cheeky, I came up behind Akara and squeezed her shoulder, a flattering smile on my face.
"Of course not." Akara's smile remained unchanged, and his face did not change while enjoying my service while mercilessly rejecting my little mention.
"Why!!" I looked sad and angry, and wept.
"That's part of the experience."
"I'm seasick"
"Then it's even more important to exercise."
"In case of a shipwreck, I, a good young man from the Rogue camp, will sink to the bottom of the sea, don't you feel distressed?"
"It's okay, I believe that with your strength, you can handle even a hurricane." Akara, you really have more faith in me than you do in me, Hurricane? Do you want me to star in a play called "Robinson Crusoe"?
In desperation, I had to sneak up on Farah, intending to make money, and when I shook the bright gold coin in front of his eyes a few times, he quickly accepted it, saying that he could consider it, and then sued me the next day, and the result of the consideration was
Roar, return my gold coins, you old Laipi, how old are you and still cheat children out of money, do you know how ashamed you are
In the end, I obediently took Lu Gaoyin's teleportation array, and gave Farah a middle finger before leaving, this money should be remembered first, don't think that we Rogge will give up so easily in the third slam.
After arriving in Lugoin, I took Acala's codex, got the certificate from the Mage's Guild, and then inquired about the news of the sea boat, and learned from Teucer that Ma'sif's ship would probably take more than a month to return, although it was not that there were no other ships to go to the seaport of Kurast, but I thought that Ma's boat was more reliable, and it might be safer to take his ship, just laugh, I have never been to sea in my life, and I am really in awe of the boat, woo
