Kratos grinned, patted his chest and said, "My lord, I dare to even hack the king of lies, let alone a sin demon king." ”

"What about you?" Murong Feng looked at the others. Shen Lao and Dante naturally didn't need to ask too much, and immediately stood behind her.

Li Min and Tia naturally want to go with Kratos, otherwise they don't have to worry about recklessness.

Rick hesitated for a moment and said, "I'm going to Ouray City to take care of the Duke Lord's descendants. ”

The Great Sage Dean said, "The old man must stay here, and the city of Kaltim must not be left without an owner for a day, otherwise those refugees will be homeless." ”

Geralt, the leader of the exorcists, said, "If it weren't for the secret reminder of the Great Sage this time, maybe we would have met with an accident. So we decided to stay behind to protect the Great Sage, after all, we don't know when the Lord of Lies will make a comeback. ”

"Okay, then we'll leave it at that, hopefully there's a date later." Murong Feng said goodbye to several people.

The Great Sage Dean, Rick and the seven exorcists saluted Murong Feng to bid her farewell, and ordered someone to send a good war horse to a few people to travel on their behalf.

Murong Feng didn't linger any longer, rode on a war horse and led everyone around Kaltim City all the way to the west coast, and then boarded a ship from the port of the Kaikistan Empire and crossed the Twin Seas to the Western Continent.

After a tiring journey, a few days later, Murong Feng and his party finally landed on the Western Continent, but what they saw were refugees from various countries crowded the port......

"The situation has deteriorated to this extent?" Li Min's face changed slightly: "Could it be that the fortress has been lost?" ”

"No, the Fortress is still in human hands." Murong Feng looked at the surging refugees on the port, and said lightly: "But the princes and nobles of various countries all fled by boat as soon as possible. ”

"Those damn nobles, even if they are arrogant and lascivious on weekdays, I didn't expect that they would be the first to run away when disaster came!" Tia was straightforward, and directly gritted her teeth and cursed: "What a waste of the foundation established by their ancestors and ancestors!" ”

Nowadays, the countries that protect the inheritance on the continent are basically founded by human heroes who have experienced the war of the gods and fought side by side with angels, but the descendants of human heroes have fled in fear and abandoned their people, which is obviously a disgrace to their ancestors.

Murong Feng didn't continue to pay attention to the chaotic crowd on the dock, and ordered everyone around him: "Shen Lao, you and Dante and Kratos go buy a few horses to travel around." Li Min, Tia will go with me to the city to find a place to stay, and then set off for the fortress early tomorrow morning. ”

Everyone agreed, Shen Lao greedy and the three went to buy horses, and Li Min and Tia followed Murong Feng to find a hotel where they could stay.

There were so many refugees coming from far and wide that the desert port city called Ru Gain was overcrowded overnight. But fortunately, the people who are willing to spend money to stay in the hotel that sees the opportunity to increase the price are either rich or expensive, so there are still many hotels in the city that can receive guests.

Murong Feng found a clean and tidy hotel, paid a deposit for one night to ask for two large suites, and booked dinner for six people by the way.

Soon, Shen Lao and Kratos led six high-quality horses and four horses to the hotel where Murong Feng was staying under Dante's induction.

"My lord, these six fine horses have only cost a thousand gold coins in total, and the four horses were given free of charge by the merchant who sold the horses in a hurry to board the ship." The six of them had a dinner together, and Shen Lao smiled greedily: "And these horses are all left over from those noble merchants who escaped by boat, and now almost everyone in the refugees crowded in the city wants to go to sea by boat, so these high-quality horses are not cared for." ”

While eating dinner, Murong Feng nodded and said, "Well, you did a good job, and I will tell the store to prepare more concentrates later, so that I can feed the horses on the road." ”

"Yes, sir." Shen Lao greedily pretended to be a housekeeper, and hurriedly responded.

Murong Feng wiped the corners of his mouth after eating, and instructed everyone: "Rest early tonight, and get up early tomorrow to travel a long way." Kratos, you know this Western Continent well, how long will it take for us to get from here to the Fortress? ”

Kratos thought for a moment and said, "If we hurry up day and night, we can reach the Kingdom of Canduras by crossing the northern desert of Aranok and crossing the Tymo Mountains, and then we will go north through the vast Salva Forest to reach the city of Nestinger across the sea from the fortress, it will take about three or four days to arrive." However, this is the ideal situation, after all, there must be many dangers along the way, and no one knows what monsters or monsters will stand in the way. ”

Shen Lao shook his head greedily and said, "Even if people can afford to travel day and night, those horses can't hold on." ”

Kratos said helplessly: "If you want to keep the horses, you have to travel during the day and rest at night, so you have to extend the time by at least two days." ”

"Map." Murong Feng looked at Li Min, and Li Min immediately took out the map he was carrying and spread it on the table.

Murong Feng looked carefully at the route Kratos had just mentioned, and Tia pointed to the map and asked, "Look, isn't there a fjord after crossing the Taimo Mountains?" From here, you should be able to sail directly north and land at the fortress, right? ”

Kratos nodded, "Yes, but the boat is not as fast as the overland route, and you have to go around a long way." ”

Li Min echoed: "It's definitely not realistic to go north by boat, and you have seen the situation here." Not to mention whether we can find an empty ship when we arrive in Canduras, even if there are people who may not be willing to take us north to the fortress to die. ”

Everyone was at a loss, and they all looked at Murong Feng and waited for her to come up with an idea.

Murong Feng pondered for a moment, then raised his head and instructed Shen Lao, "You can go to the horse market again later, and buy more horses to come back." Remember, as long as the stamina is good, we can ride more than one person overnight, so we don't have to worry about running out of horsepower. ”

"Yes, sir." Shen Lao's instructions to Murong Feng were unconditional responses.

"Do you have any other opinions?" Murong Feng glanced at everyone, everyone shook their heads slightly, and she said directly: "Okay, how to decide." Kratos will be your guide tomorrow and follow your route. Dante, you accompany Shen Lao to go to the horse market again, pay attention to safety. Let's go and rest after everyone else has eaten dinner. ”

Everyone agreed, ate their dinner, got up and went to their rooms to wash and rest.

Early the next morning, the group took their horses and left the hotel while it was still dawn.

Last night, Shen Laoyuan bought more than a dozen good horses from a few horse merchants who were eager to get rid of them, so the group of six people carried more than a dozen horses, and they were full of grain and grass.

After leaving the city of Lu Gaoin, the group headed north into the vast desert. Different from the bleak desert of the eastern continent, this desert called Aranok is full of rubble Gobi and high slopes of loess that rise everywhere.

"The legends of the loess slopes are the foundations of ancient cities, where there was a prosperous and powerful kingdom 10,000 years ago, and then disappeared into history after the battle of the gods." Li Min sighed softly: "I don't know how many kingdoms will disappear in history during this great turmoil. ”

Shen Lao smiled greedily and said, "Little girl, you don't understand, right?" In fact, the change of dynasty is not all bad, if you think about those princes and nobles who have fled, if the whole world is ruled by such a group of people, what is the difference between it and a pool of stagnant water? If you want me to say, we have to thank those Hell Demon Kings who pop up from time to time to destroy the world, so that more heroes can have a chance to appear on the stage of history. ”

"Humph! Fallacious reasoning! Li Min glared and sneered: "You are so afraid that the world will not be chaotic, have you ever considered those suffering civilians? ”

Shen Lao greedily shook his head and asked, "Little girl, don't those commoners suffer under the rule of a group of nobles who are on a vegetarian diet?" ”

Li Min was choked up by the rhetorical question, and said forcefully: "Even so, those civilians at least don't have to worry about not seeing the sun tomorrow!" If you follow your fallacies, will it be possible that those civilians will still have to be loyal to those evil demon lords of hell in order to be qualified to survive? ”

"Little girl, you're still too simple." Shen Lao sneered: "I don't understand that some nobles seem to be selfless on the surface, but those dirty things they do secretly are actually a hundred or even ten thousand times more evil than the Hell Demon King!" ”

Li Min sneered at each other: "Hmph! Obviously, your thinking is too extreme! So no one looks like a good person! ”

Shen Lao greedily said disdainfully: "Although I have lived a long time, old man, these eyes are bright, and I can tell who is a good person and who is a bad person at a glance, don't believe it." ”

Shen Lao greedily looked at Murong Feng, who was riding in front, and said with a smile: "Old man, the wisest choice in my life is to follow Lord Yue, otherwise this old life may have been lost in the stinky ditch of Kartim." ”

Li Min glanced at him, and said in his heart how can she refute your brazen sycophancy.

But he didn't want Murong Feng to say without replying: "Shen Lao, then your eyes may have been blind a long time ago, because I am also a hell demon king." ”

When everyone heard this, they immediately burst into laughter.

Shen Lao smiled dryly: "My lord, I'm praising you." And how could you be a hell lord! If you are a great demon king of hell, then there are probably no good people in the world. ”

Murong Feng turned his head to look to the east, and said indifferently: "I don't know if there are any good people in the world, but there are a gang of bad people who plan to take advantage of the fire to rob us have already targeted us." ”

When everyone followed her gaze, they saw a stream of sand and dust rolling in not far away, and even from a distance they could already hear the tremendous movement of the galloping horses.

"Sand Pirates !!" Shen Lao's face immediately changed slightly, and he exclaimed, "How can there be sand thieves here? And it happens to be stuck in our way? ”

Tia sneered: "Eighty percent is someone who pretends to be too arrogant when buying a horse. ”

There's nothing hard to guess about this kind of thing. Shen Lao greedy followed Murong Feng's instructions yesterday and went to the horse market twice to buy more than a dozen high-quality horses, as long as he was not a fool, he could guess that he was definitely a rich master, so he would naturally be targeted by some eyeliner.

Dante immediately stepped forward and stared at Murong Feng with a cool look.

Murong Feng said lightly: "The horses stayed, and all the people were killed." ”

In troubled times, these scum are sometimes more murderous than those demons, especially when faced with unarmed refugees, who often kill purely for fun. So if there is one to kill the other, it will definitely benefit the society.

Dante nodded slightly, and rushed out of the air. In mid-air, he unloaded the flange sword with strips of cloth wrapped around his back, and everyone knew that he was carrying a big sword behind him, and they all thought it was a spear or spear before.

"Does Tsuki-sama want me to help?" Kratos also clapped his horse forward and said eagerly.

Murong Feng glanced at it and said directly: "Excuse me, with your fighting style, it is estimated that none of those sand thieves' horses will be completely corpsed." ”

Everyone chuckled, but there was no sign of nervousness. After all, they are all warriors who have fought against the demon army, and a group of sand thieves really haven't been taken seriously by them.

Soon, this group of more than 100 sand thieves was wiped out by Dante alone, and none of them escaped.

Shen Lao Greed immediately took the initiative to pat his horse and help bring back the horses of those sand thieves, and said with a smile: "My lord, old man, I am going to be a horse dealer again this time." ”

Isn't it, this thing worked as a horse dealer in the Eastern Continent once, and made a lot of money from the Duke of Hohenheim. Now in the blink of an eye, he has come to the Western Continent and confiscated more than a hundred good horses, and he is about to become a professional horse dealer.

"Bring them all, the fortress probably needs war horses." Murong Feng nodded, and saw Dante step forward to present a broken animal skin.

"What is this?" Murong Feng took the animal skin with a curious expression.

Dante replied succinctly: "I don't know! But the leader of the sand thieves was still holding on to his death and refused to let go! ”

Shen Lao's greedy eyes lit up and said, "Could it be the treasure map of the sand thieves?!" ”

When everyone heard the treasure map, they were immediately interested, and they gathered around to come forward.

Murong Feng did not shy away from it, and directly spread out the treasure map and saw that there were crooked lines drawn on it, making it completely impossible to distinguish the geographical location. However, the big red cross on it is quite eye-catching, and it was really guessed by Shen Lao, it is really a treasure map.

"Hey, what kind of broken picture is this? Find any child who can draw it better than this! Tia said with a look of disgust.

Murong Feng couldn't understand it either, so he asked Kratos: "You are familiar with this place, can you tell that it is there?" ”

Kratos took the treasure map and scratched his head and looked at it for a long time, then borrowed the exact map from Li Min and compared it for a long time, before he said uncertainly: "Your Excellency, this thing should be... Maybe... Probably a treasure map! ”

"It's up to you to say that." The crowd shouted in unison with a burst of disdain.

Murong Feng asked directly: "Just say where this treasure is located, if it's too far away, forget it, we still have to hurry, and we don't have time to find any treasure of the sand thieves." ”

Kratos pondered for a long time before hesitating: "It's probably not very far, and it's very smooth." If I'm not mistaken, the location on this treasure map is probably on the edge of the Taymour Mountains, right where we're going to be. But the picture was so abstract that I could only tell the general direction. ”
