All the way uphill, all the way north. (Download Floor.)

When I came to the icy plateau, even the background music turned pale.

Yaks covered in long hair can be seen everywhere here. And the herding of this huge group of animals are orcs who are taller than sea snakes.

They are Behemothmen.

It is said that the giant beast people are vegetarians, and I really don't know what they are raising so many yaks for.

"Eat, taste...... Great. ”

The giant beast **R bared its long fangs and smiled innocently.

Sorry I can't type his name, the pronunciation of his name is big Rua, here I write it as big R. Big R was the first Behemoth friend we made since we arrived on this icy plateau. He said this when the wheat field held the thick encyclopedia to him this serious question.

"But...... But you're a vegetarian people. Mai Tian asked puzzled.

"Well, we only eat light yak meat. As for this greasy food......" Big R said as he pulled out a piece of moss from the ice crack in the ground: "We won't touch it." ”

As he spoke, he threw the moss to the nearest yak, and the yak let out a happy cry and feasted on it.

"Oh...... It's such a vegetarian diet. "Wheat field understands a little.

Even if it's an encyclopedia, you can't trust it.

For many years, the Behemoths have called meat food vegetarian food, and plant food is called meat dish. For their unique culture, that's not a vegetarian diet. The sea snake and I nodded: "We are all vegetarians, you see, we have the same beliefs. ”

Big R nodded: "Of course, we are friends." ”

That's right, I like this friend, this vegetarian big R.

"Since we're friends, I wonder if you can do me a favor?" Big R said suddenly.

Task!

These two words popped into my head.

I can't say how long it's been since I did the task. But at this moment, an ordinary giant beastman who is far away in the northernmost part of the mysterious world, the dark side, actually wants to give us a mission, what kind of spirit is this?

"Tell me, what do I want to do you with?" I'm generous.

"Please come down and talk to me, you guys are flying around, my eyes are glazed." Big R beckoned to us who were sitting on the magic carpet and flying around.

"Oh...... That's right. "I circled around the magic carpet a few times and stopped next to Big R.

Well, it's indeed the magic carpet I drive.

After a few days of practice after leaving the Tara Crater, I can now drive the magic carpet as well.

"You must be here to travel~~" Big R said.

"What a sharp eye, you can see it, that's right, we're tourists!" I readily admit it.

"Hehe, hehehe......"

Big R suddenly laughed innocently, rolling on the ground with laughter.

"Is it that funny?" The three of us asked inexplicably as we watched the big guy roll on the ground.

"You see, you are floating in the air, but you don't say you're tourists...... A few days ago, someone came here on foot, but he didn't say that he was a donkey passenger...... "Big R laughed breathlessly.

"What traveler is so patient to make it all the way here?" I'm interested in the man.

Big R laughed even harder: "You call him a travel friend...... Hahaha, donkey friend ......"

We had to patiently explain some special terms for tourism to Big R, and it took a full twelve catties of air-dried yak meat in sauce.

"Now, do you understand?" I asked, as I twisted the last piece of yak meat on the plate with my fingers.

Seeing me chewing this piece of tough beef, Big R nodded: "I understand, have you eaten enough, do you want to have some more?" ”

We all burped and said that we were full, and I ate more than a pound of wheat fields, and the rest of the more than ten pounds were eaten by sea snakes. But even so, Big R thinks that our food intake is too small, too small......

"So, fellow travelers." Big R cleared his throat: "If you're here for tourism, why don't you go to Plateau City, it's the northernmost main city on the dark side." Further north, there is an ocean. ”

"It's over so soon?"

I'm a little puzzled, we don't feel like we've come a long way.

Actually, we've been walking for a long time, especially after passing through the Witch Forest, which actually occupies a large area, but because of magic, it doesn't look very big.

Of course, the most important reason is that the dark side is not very long from north to south, it is a narrow strip of land. From the North Pole gradually spreads like a large 6 on the bright side...... Well, it's kind of like Russia, it's huge. The dark Ones spread radially to other regions.

Well, since the northernmost main city, there's no reason why we shouldn't see it.

You don't need to ask for directions, the direction must be in the north. After we said goodbye to the honest and enthusiastic big R, under my pilot, the magic carpet flew to the north......

"Strange, how did they fly over there......"

Big R was in place, pointing to the other side, the place west of the north: "That's the north......"

It seems that we have all ignored this problem, and a nation that can even confuse vegetarian and meat food must have a different sense of direction than ordinary people......

So, we drove due north for seven or eight days, but we did not see the northernmost main city in the mouth of the so-called giant beastmen. Finally, on this day, we came to the beach......

Offshore, there is a small man in a thick mink coat who sits on a smoking motor boat fishing. This scene surprised us very much, firstly: in such a cold place, the water does not freeze; Second, goblins are really everywhere...... The little man, apparently a goblin; Thirdly, the ship that emitted black smoke and suddenly stepped on it was obviously a motorized ship, when did the civilization of the mysterious world reach this point......

We slowly landed on his boat and stepped off the magic carpet. Amid the noise of the machine, I asked loudly, "...... excuse me?"

"Hey! ~ Be quiet, you've scared my fish away! The goblin suddenly shouted at us with a shrill voice.

"But ......" I pointed to the machine on the ship, my meaning is obvious, you are okay with such a loud sound of the broken ship, why not say a few words.

The goblin's reaction was fierce, and he slammed the rod to the deck: "No fishing, no fishing...... You people! Come in and say, I know anyone who comes to me has a whole bunch of questions! ”

We followed the grumpy goblin into one of the ship's cabins, and strangely enough, once inside, the noise outside was inaudible. The soundproofing of this house is still very good.

And this goblin, as everyone knows, goblins who are good at business are generally not popular. If you come across a hot-tempered goblin, that's a serious problem...... He's not a businessman.

A goblin who is not a merchant is one of the ten dangerous people in the mysterious world.

Think about Rick, Rick Ben Bara Doha, a goblin who doesn't do business, what else can he do? It's nothing more than making some achievable mechanical gadgets and engaging in technology. With this in mind, I began to suspect that the broken ship I was on could explode at any moment.

"I know what you're trying to ask me, I'll tell you before you open your mouth. I heard that practicing fishing can exercise people's temper...... You also realized that my Peak's temper is not very good, yes, my nickname is Grumpy Peak! Well, I heard that fishing would improve my damn temper, so I parked my boat here for three days. Those abominable, cunning, withdrawn fish have finally become acquainted with the roar of the machine, but your screams have ruined it all! ~”

……

……

Like all goblins I've ever met, Peak talks so much.

"This ...... The fish will adapt to us, too. I said.

"Do you mean, like my steam engine, with a repetitive, uninterrupted voice, that you can say the same thing for three days?" Peak stared at me and questioned loudly.

"Steam engine??" All three of us exclaimed at the same time.

"That's right! Steam engine! Peak's voice suddenly became proud: "This is the greatest Ming of this century, and it comes from my Peak's hands." ”

We suddenly have a sense of respect for the dwarf goblin in front of us, who can build a steam engine, and the industrial revolution in the mysterious world is about to begin.

"I haven't consulted you yet...... Master," I said respectfully.

"The greatest engineer of the mysterious world - Peak, James Peak! Oh, of course, I gave myself this title. ”

"You don't have to seal yourself, you are indeed the greatest engineer in the mysterious world!" I excitedly said, "This is an epoch-making ......."

The wheat field and the sea serpent looked at me obliquely, ashamed of my excitement.

I said to the wheat field and the sea serpent, "Please, don't you know the role of the steam engine as a milestone in the history of human progress?" ”

Mai Tian lazily said: "In human history, it is indeed a milestone. But what about in a world of swords and sorcery? For the undead who love to eat cacti that don't pull out their thorns, the beastmen who eat vegetarian half-cooked yak meat, the halflings who eat food without spices, and the witches who eat food made by magic...... Do you think this will change their lives? ”

Wheatfield's words reminded me that in this world of swords and magic...... The steam engine did seem to be a little insignificant in front of these strange tools such as teleportation arrays, magic carpets, and dragon transport stations.

But even so, I still held Peak's hand tightly, and in any case, a goblin who could understand the steam engine was worthy of respect.

"Peak Master...... The great Peak Master ......"

"Alright, alright...... Don't compliment me, be honest, what the hell are you here for? "Peak was also flattered by my hot screams.

"Ah, yes, we just want to ask for directions." I'll be honest.

Peak almost fell under the bench, so he just asked for directions......
