Half a month later

The area north of the Duchy of Galea from Nalebus was largely detached from the outer forests of the Anglis, and the further north it went, the more plains and hills grew, gradually replacing the entire covered woods. Compared to the forest at every turn, and I don't know when monsters or bandits will appear, this wide field of vision can't help but make people feel comfortable.

Under the blue sky, the white clouds fluttered, and the warm sunlight sprinkled on the flocks of birds flying by, and sprinkled on the weeds on the roadside. The cheerful weather made the team feel good, and even the guards, who had always been nervous, joked about the good weather. Songs from the south or north sounded in the convoy, and from time to time some people responded to the chorus, and some people grabbed their comrades to sing the wrong tune.

Although there was a Lu Kaifeng in the convoy, the loyal guards naturally did not let this slack off. Because of this, after being attacked by Motak's gang, they were vigilant all the way, and now they were finally able to relax a little, and the convoy was much more relaxed and cheerful.

The wide road is gradually covered with gravel, and the horses' hooves make a "click" sound at any moment. Although this gravel road is not as smooth as a road paved with cement and asphalt, it is at least much better than a dirt road full of mud puddles and a stone bulging out at every turn, and even Lu Kaifeng, who is suffering from motion sickness all the way, is in much better condition.

The closer you get to the western capital of Kalingbun, the better the road becomes, and occasionally the wheels roll over, and Lu Kaifeng can see the stone bricks buried under the rubble. If this momentum continues, you may be able to meet the stone road at that time.

From Nalebus to the north, the Anglis Mountains become less and less of a threat to Galea. It can't be said that there are none, but as long as Contesino and Nalebus are still standing in the southern part of Galea, the interior of the Duchy will basically not be invaded by demonic beasts. As for the Twilight Forest to the southwest, there were naturally large armies and adventurers from the timber city of Ozillan stationed there.

Along the way, Lu Kaifeng saw large and small villages along the way, some of them were relatively close to this "national highway", and sometimes he could see a trail extending from the main road, winding in a certain direction.

Of course, it could also be the castle of some noble.

The golden wheat fields are one after another, and the ears of wheat rise and fall in the wind, like a golden wave, which is very pleasing to the eye when looking at the carriage. From time to time, the peasants straightened their backs, which were a little stiff from long hours of labor, wiped the sweat oozing from their foreheads, rubbed their waists, and after glancing curiously at the passing convoy, they continued to bend down and work hard.

It seemed that this was the first time Nina had seen this kind of scene, and her little head had been lying on the window of the car, looking here and there, and from time to time pointing to the flocks of birds flying in the sky and the herds of cattle and sheep raised by nearby villagers.

After the beast tide, he asked Ophelia to help him and match him with a teacher to learn words. Although he can communicate with words, as a "civilized person", Lu Kaifeng still feels that it is very necessary to learn words.

And after Ophelia learned about Lu Kaifeng's needs, she immediately went to implement it, and that night, a sweet and cute girl wearing a maid's long skirt came to his room and conducted him deeply... Ahem... Basic teaching. I don't know if it's because of the beauty effect, Lu Kaifeng has made rapid progress, and he can read on his own in more than a month, which makes him a little proud. It's just that when he thought of the two digits at the beginning of the five words in the English score of the college entrance examination that year, he silently didn't want to speak...

Since he used to be a scumbag, it makes no sense that he will become a scholar now. Thinking of his changes in strength, physical fitness and spirit, Lu Kaifeng estimated that this was due to the attribute points after crossing over, not surprisingly, the hundreds of intelligence attributes provided by him, a full-level swordsman, raised his IQ a lot.

But it doesn't seem to have improved much...

After reading some books, Lu Kaifeng learned a little about Takla Island.

Takla Island is located in the northwest of the mainland, and its area is vast, which can catch up with more than half of the territory of Galea, but the materials on the island are not rich, and can even be called barren. Cold is the main theme there, ice white is the main color of the takla, and the island is in the cold season all year round. Except for the southern end, the land on the island is blown harder than black iron by the cold wind, making it impossible to cultivate, and even on the southern shore of the island, the climate is cold, making it difficult to grow crops at high yields.

Although the conditions on the island are harsh and the life of the demons is relatively difficult, it is not miserable. There are many species living on the snow field, although they are more vicious, but they are nothing in front of the powerful and fierce demons, and each settlement will organize hunting every once in a while, and hoard the hunted monsters as food. The fishermen of the South Island will fish in the Norrie Strait, and every day there will be large frames of sea fish transported into the inner island, in this case, the demons can barely make ends meet.

It's just that's all.,Although the land is vast and sparsely populated,But the materials are scarce.,It's difficult for the demon race to develop.,Thousands of years of living here.,The population hasn't changed is proof.。

Therefore, Nina, who lives in the north all year round, is full of novelty about the seemingly ordinary scenery of Galea. And under that novelty, there is envy and longing.

If only my father and mother, as well as Uncle Amu and Aunt Rena next door, could also see it.

Thinking of this, Nina's eyes were clouded with another layer of gloom, and her interest obviously fell.

Lu Kaifeng, who noticed this, put his hand on the little head lying on the car window, rubbed the little girl's soft black hair, and the faint fragrance lingered in the workshop, which made the pity in Lu Kaifeng's heart rise again:

"Homesick?"

"Hmm—" Nina nodded slightly as she looked at the white clouds floating outside the window.

"Speaking of which, I haven't been to Takla Island yet, so I'll check it out later."

"Is Uncle Lu going to Takla Island?" Nina turned her head, her big eyes full of anticipation, and the previous gloom was swept away.

"Go, Uncle Lu wants to go to Nina's house. And Nina has been away from home for so long, and the uncle must send Nina back, otherwise Nina's father and mother will be very sad. ”

"Yay! Uncle is the best! When the time comes, Nina will definitely entertain her uncle and make him the best snow rabbit! ”

"Thank you, Nina."

"No thanks, my uncle is so good to Nina, and Nina has to repay my uncle! By the way, will Sister Ophelia go? ”

"Maybe, this uncle doesn't know."

Amid the cheers of the little girl, the carriage convoy marched towards Galimon on this wide road.
