Chapter 48: Finding a Guide
"In this way, you can't even tell the direction, let alone find the right path." Christana said as she looked at Blue.
"Since it's the capital, of course all roads lead there, so you don't need to worry about this problem. I'm worried about whether a dragon lich will pop up out of nowhere. β
ββ¦β¦ Brother, with your crow's mouth, can you say a few words? β
ββ¦β¦β
Blue said so, but they didn't stay on the main street for long.
This is because as the most visible road, there is a very high chance of encountering other people.
Who are the people who are coming to this mission, the blue dragon knows very well, and it will be a vicious fight every minute when he encounters him.
Although he was not afraid of fighting, too much time had been wasted on the road, and Blue did not intend to have a needless fight.
But the idea was beautiful, but the reality gave him a slap in the face.
In fact, if it weren't for the danger of this area, the surrounding countries would not have let it sit vacant for so long.
In just one day of travel, Blue and the others did not encounter hostile forces such as adventurers and paladins, but they encountered several waves of undead attacks.
Most of them are the most common skeleton attacks, except that these skeletons are not weak, naturally born skeletons, but skeletons summoned by necromancers.
Among them, there are also large undead creatures such as skeleton minotaurs, which are dozens of times more powerful than ordinary skeletons.
Then there are ghosts, ghosts and other undead creatures, these undead creatures who are never tired, have no fear and hate living beings extremely don't care who you are, you are stunned when you see them, and you don't care whether the other party is stronger than you or not.
Although there are only some low-level undead creatures, and almost all of them are primordial undead creatures bred by the perennial fog and darkness and the corrupt aura of the year.
They weren't very powerful, but the problem was that there were frighteningly large numbers, sometimes three or two, sometimes hundreds, like a small army.
In the face of the attacks of these skeleton minotaurs, skeletons, ghosts, and ghosts, Makaria and Chrisanna alone could easily solve it without causing any trouble.
Unfortunately, what Krishanna said was true, and Blue and the others soon found themselves lost, or they never knew the real way, so whether it was lost or not was an easter egg.
In the foggy city, it is too difficult to find the right path.
After seeing the same building for the third time, Blue had just entered the fog for a day, and it became clear how naΓ―ve his idea of "all roads lead to Rome".
And after searching the memories of the ancient dragon, most of them have no knowledge of this area.
After all, for the too powerful Taikoolong, they don't like to come to this kind of place, and even when they are still weak, most of them choose to eat, sleep, sleep and play every day, unlike Blue, who runs around like a problem child.
If it was an ordinary dragon life, it would be quite boring in the eyes of mortals.
First dodge, when it comes to estrus, all kinds of estrus in the estrus period, and then lay dragon eggs, and when the estrus period is almost over, they lie in their own nests, and all the food, clothing, housing and transportation are provided by the serving dependents, and they are just lying on their stomachs.
I believe that not only myself, but all those who enter this fog will encounter problems like their own.
As a lost city, I don't know how long the land has been abandoned, there is no such thing as a map.
"It seems that it is time to find a qualified guide......"
Blue thought to herself, and then flew again with Chrisanna.
In this mist, the only way to find Bahamut's location in the capital is to rely on the inhabitants of this land.
After flying for three days, Blue and the others finally found an abandoned town.
Barr? The capital of the Tulasi Empire was once at its peak, with more than a million people living in it alone.
Of course, such a large population will not be self-sufficient, but will need a large number of surrounding towns to provide food, daily necessities, and so on.
And this town may well be one of them.
However, of course, there are no living people living here in this ruins and ruins, and most of the living creatures here are evil and sun-dreaded werewolf monsters or undead creatures, or small insects and critters such as jackals, rats, and cockroaches.
Blue and the others cautiously entered the town, the windows of the houses on both sides of the street were black, and the skeletons and zombies that wandered inside from time to time would look at them, and then scream and want to get out of the house to attack.
However, when these low-level undead creatures came out of the house, they found that the creatures that exuded the breath of living people had gone away, and they returned to their original places with little intelligence.
Macaria looked around and said with a little sigh: "Baal back then? The war between the Tulasi Empire and the Akhorsia Empire caused so much damage...... We have been flying for so long and have just arrived in the cities around the capital. β
"If the rumors are true, and Demogogen was really summoned back then, then this bit of destruction is just a small matter."
Seeing a fraction of Tiamat's power, killed by Glatheia's astral projection, has taught Blue that many powers that seem incredible to mortals are nothing to mention to gods and many demonic powers.
It's like a floating city, which sounds incredible, but to really think that you can fight the gods with something like that is like holding a bow and arrow at a Gatling machine gun.
Suddenly, a flash of alertness flashed in Macaria's eyes, she reached out and touched the blue under her, and then whispered to him, "Ahead, there are people." β
"People?" Blue was stunned for a moment, although he knew that many adventurers or believers of Bahamut had entered this mist, but after so many days, he really had not encountered a living person.
Macaria nodded, "That's right, I heard voices, they seem to be inside the building in front of them. β
"Did they find you, then?" Krisanna asked, turning her head.
"I don't know, why don't you ask them?"
Regarding Krishanna's question, Macaria also spread her hands, saying that she didn't know either.
After all, she doesn't have any practical experience, she just relies on her own professionalism to judge.
ββ¦β¦ Living people, then let's find out their number and purpose first. β
Blue thought for a moment and then whispered.
As his words fell, his body was deformed.
Macaria quickly jumped to the side, and soon Blue was in human form.
"It's more convenient to look like this in these places, Krisanna."
Krisanna looked at her body, which was larger than some of the surrounding houses, and after snorting, she also took on human form.
β¦β¦ What the hell is this gorgeous evening dress, old girl?
After the transformation, the clothes on his body are actually his own dragon scales.
So you can change into any clothes, as long as you like.
But in an eerie place, a stunning beauty in a gorgeous evening dress suddenly appeared, which is not strange!
"I said, old girl, don't you think this dress is more eye-catching than the dragon form?"
Krisanna glanced at Blue and said lightly, "I think it's pretty good." β
"It's good-looking, my sister has excellent genes...... However, there may be contact with the other party in the future, can you hide your dazzling appearance a little, a little more plain, like an adventurer? β
After saying that, Blue raised the sword and shield in his hand, and then patted his armor.
After transforming into a white suit of armor with dragon scales, he is now dressed as a typical warrior.
Macaria smiled knowingly, she pulled her hood and mask on, and in her hand another ruby appeared to pick locks and detect anomalies, and suddenly a thief appeared.
Orianna pointed to her oak staff, and coughed twice.
Because he has just recovered from a serious illness, it really sounds like the same thing, the image of a frail and sickly mage.
As for Lux, after putting away her wings, her face is so stiff that she can even make people think that she is a paladin who guards the order.
Seeing that everyone was looking at her, Krisanna snorted coldly, and the gorgeous evening dress also turned into leather armor in a burst of transformation, and after receiving the bow and arrow and sword given by Blue, she also became a ranger.
Although this ranger doesn't know any tracking or hunting at all, he doesn't even know a ranger skill.
Macaria's ears moved, and she whispered to the crowd, "Be careful, they must have spotted us, someone is coming...... The other party's stealth and reconnaissance skills are much higher than mine, so they must have deliberately made a noise to remind me. β
Blue thought for a moment and chose to move on.
Soon, they saw the remains of a dilapidated building.
Even though it was half vacant, the dilapidated building was much larger than the average house on the street.
At the entrance of the building, two rangers watched them.
One was a human ranger, who, like Oriana, was watching them warily with a sword in his hand.
The other was a halfling ranger, much shorter than his companions, and he held a short sword in his hand.
The human ranger looked at the group carefully, his eyes showed a sharp light, and when he saw that there were two Tieflings among the five people, his brows furrowed, and a solemn expression appeared on his face.
With his hands clasped to his mouth, the human ranger let out a shrill whistle.
Soon, out of the dilapidated building came a troubadour, a handsome man of about forty years of age, with mature eyes and a kind smile.
He saw Blue and the others for the first time, but their expressions did not change.
He beckoned to Blue and the others, "Hello, I'm Troy, the leader of the Burning Blade Adventure Regiment. β
"Hello Mr. Troy, we're just passing through here, please ignore us, we'll be leaving soon."
Blue nodded, but he didn't give his name and showed no interest in them.
Seeing that Blue didn't speak, Troy didn't get angry, and it was also very normal to meet strangers outside.
"Okay, I hope Bahamut can shelter you and let you have a smooth journey."
Do you believe in the troubadours of Bahamut?
There are really few people like this in humans, generally speaking, it is the holy warriors or dragonborns and metal dragons who become believers in Bahamut.
But it's useless to pray to Bahamut, Bahamut shouldn't like himself too much, after all, the artifact he made was to kill his nominal ally.
Blue also knew that the people of this Burning Blade should be made up of people with similar factions, and most likely all people who believed in Bahamut or the good gods.
That's why the human ranger's face changed after seeing Tieflin, most likely because he thought they were an evil team.
Blue bowed slightly, then smiled, "I wish Lord Bahamut blessings too." β
After saying that, he led the group and continued to move forward.
What he was looking for was a local "guide", and these foreign adventuring teams, like him, were obviously unfamiliar with the environment, and even being with them would have no effect.
At this time, some quarrelling voices came from behind them.
"Commander, why did you let them go?"
"Luis, the question should be why you don't let them go, right?"
"There's Tieflin between them! Tieflin is not a good person, and those humans have very bad companions, most likely evil guys, who may ambush us in front! β
"As a Ranger, your nerves are too sensitive, Luis! Remember, you're a ranger, not a paladin or paladin! Even paladins and paladins can't just use their own judgment to decide the crimes of others! β
β¦β¦
Macaria looked behind her, then said to Blue, "That head seems pretty good. β
To be able to look at Tieflin so fairly, Macaria really hasn't seen a few.
Moreover, Macaria covered her face, and Tros certainly did not say such things out of her beauty.
Blue smiled, Troy's attitude was friendly, so he didn't hate him.
After continuing to walk for three hours, the group helplessly found that they seemed to be going in circles again.
In fact, they had once again passed the place where they had touched Troy, only it was empty.
Bruhe looked up at the sky, because of the undispersed fog, the sun and the moon could not be seen at all, and only the approximate time could be judged from the color of the fog.
And now the fog is pitch black, and it is obvious that it is night.
At this time, they are at a crossroads, and there are three directions in front of them, which direction are they going?
Nobody knows.
"Oriana, do you feel any of the negative energy that is particularly strong?" Blue asked, looking at Oriana.
Orianna closed her eyes, a look of concentration on her pale face.
Stretching out her finger, she pointed in the direction to the right and said, "It seems that the negative energy there is a little thicker." β
Blue waved his hand without hesitation and said, "Then let's go and have a look, maybe we will meet a good guide...... If you run into a dragon lich, we've won! β
At this moment, even Macaria couldn't help but pout.
