Far from the political center of Demacia, the Durang family had their estate located on the northwestern plateau of Demacia, next to the military town of Miyin.

And from the city of Demacia to the city of Miyin, it is quite a long journey.

After the first stretch of the road, the terrain began to rise and the road became rough - although it was obvious that the road had been repaired, there were still many potholes, so that Rhodes could not continue to close his eyes.

Sana and Jana were still at odds with each other, and the wind in the carriage was so strange and ethereal that Rhodes' hairs stood on end—while Jinx and Anne clapped their hands from time to time as if they were watching a good show.

In this case, Rod could only hope that the carriage would be faster.

However, on the third day after the journey began, when the carriage came to a small town called Dandor, the guide found Rhodes.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Ronin, I'm afraid we'll have to wait here for a few days."

"What's wrong?" Rod furrowed his eyebrows, "Did something happen?" ”

"That's right." The guide nodded a little depressedly, "The rock beasts in the northwest are restless, those big guys have appeared in our way - Danduo has sent a messenger to inform the nearest military station, so we will be in Danduo for a few days before the soldiers can deal with those big rocks." ”

“…… All right. Rod shrugged helplessly, "It's good that I left early, otherwise it would have been really troublesome." ”

……………………

Dando is a very small town, and there is nothing to offer other than mead - after wandering around the town twice, Rhodes decided to return to the hotel to rest.

And it just so happened that the guide was also bored, so Rod simply pulled him to have a drink - of course, the guide drank, and Rhodes drank honey water, under the pretext that he could not drink alcohol due to physical reasons.

Taking the opportunity of a drink, Rhodes asked a lot about the rock beast, and because there was nothing to keep secret, the guide knew everything.

Rock beasts are called "beasts", but they have nothing to do with beasts, they are a special kind of being—pure elemental creatures without flesh and blood.

According to the guide, these large creatures made entirely of rock are often found in the northwest region of Demacia, and they are moody, good and bad, often appearing and disappearing suddenly for some elusive reason, and are a great headache for the Demacian people.

Someone once tried to make a picture book of rock beasts, but in the end they had to give up, because from beginning to end, there never seemed to be two rock beasts with the same form, although they were both made of stone, but the specific state was strange and varied, there were erect humanoids, there were also four-limbed beasts, and some slid and rolled like snakes.

The variety of forms makes it difficult to deal with them in a relatively general way, and the sheer size of the local garrison is not something that the local garrison can handle, so whenever the rock beasts are wreaking havoc, the soldiers of Demacia will be mobilized and unite to face the big guys.

Normally, rock beasts are terrifyingly large, often more than five meters in height, and even the elite soldiers of Demacia often suffer when facing such a behemoth.

The two of them drank until midnight at Dandor's only tavern, and the guide staggered back to his room, while Rhodes slipped out of town quietly.

Although it is not easy to show his identity in front of people, it is okay to quietly clean up those rock beasts in the middle of the night - Rhodes has limited time, and he is not willing to waste his efforts here.

The guide mentioned before that the rock beast haunted the village in the northwest, and considering that he had filled the guide officer a lot, by the time he woke up, I am afraid it would be noon tomorrow, so the time left for Rhodes was about ten hours.

Quietly leaving Dandor, Rhodes began casting spells in the woods outside the town.

“Ari-Poninery！”

The arcane light flashed, and a beautiful light blue warhorse appeared in front of Rod.

Puppet Warhorse - A common technique used by mages to get on the road.

As a great mage, summoning a puppet war horse is actually quite low - not that this spell is low-end, but it is a shame that the dignified great mage does not have his own mount.

(Well, in fact, Rhodes also has a "mount", but his mount is a flying carpet of big road goods, and this seems to be even more humiliating - although the flying carpet that can move straight from the air is theoretically much faster than a puppet war horse, but it is now the middle of the night, and Rod feels that if he uses a flying one, it is very likely to get lost, and the destination is not far away anyway, so he can simply ride a horse.) ）

The puppet warhorse can last about three hours, and considering the magic weakening caused by the forbidden magic stones all over the ground of Demacia, I'm afraid the duration of the puppet warhorse will be shortened a lot - but even so, it is enough time for Rhodes to get to where the rock beast is, as for the time it takes to clean up those stinky fish and shrimp...... Rod felt that he didn't need to worry at all.

Taking out the map he had prepared in advance, Rhodes mounted his puppet horse and galloped along the rugged path.

"The village of Orsay - why do I always think this name is weird......"
