"Along the way, Greta asked the adults to take care of her."

At the gate of Qingyan's wall, Carrot sorted out the package on her daughter's shoulder, and solemnly asked Soya.

"That's nature."

Sawyer replied with a smile, and raised an eyebrow at Greta triumphantly, looking like he had won the battle.

If it was placed in the past, Sawa would never have made this kind of action to a girl who had just known her for less than a day, but maybe because she came to the new world, Sawyer, who was less restrained, also jumped out a lot in temperament, in other words, she did what she wanted a lot.

"Hmph." Greta turned her head, ignored Sawyer, and walked to the side of the fence by herself, but found that Sawyer didn't follow, and couldn't help but look back: "Why don't you leave?" ”

"I just wanted to ask, are you sure it's reliable?"

Sawyer pointed to the wall in front of Greta, which was not much different from the walls in other locations, except for a symbol drawn with blue paint.

At this point, we have to explain the layout of the Gray Mist strongholds, if it is some large gray fog strongholds with special products, mainly minerals, the layout is similar to the towns that Sawyer has seen in the present world, with tall walls, city gates, and "gray fog passages" as a way to communicate the ring city, these "large strongholds" usually mine minerals, and then exchange the minerals from the ring city for various resources, including food and protection forces.

And small gray fog strongholds like Qingyan basically only have walls and no city gates, but the size of the strongholds is larger than the so-called "large strongholds", because the food and livestock needed for the survival of the so-called small strongholds are planted and bred within the walls, after all, in addition to the berserk beasts in the gray fog, there are only a few twisted plants left, and there are no resources available at all, and the people in the small strongholds, except for a very few days a year, do not need to leave the scope of the wall on weekdays.

As for the outsiders who occasionally visit the stronghold, the wall is not a problem for them, after all, those who can walk in the gray fog are basically masters, and it doesn't take much effort to cross a wall two or three meters high.

"Of course it's no problem, go out from here, and then walk straight for half an hour, you can enter the range of a gray fog channel, and then walk along the gray fog channel, and you will reach the blue city."

Greta said as a matter of course, not only the travelers who visited Qingyan in the past walked like this, but even the people of Qingyan also walked like this when they went to the Blue City to participate in the ceremony every year.

"Okay."

Sawyer sighed, he could only accept this unreliable way, but Greta was still urging: "Hurry up and come and help, I won't go out alone." ”

"Then how did you come back from Blue City as a child?"

Sawyer rolled her eyes, spitting out a groan, as she walked over and leaned against the wall, clasping her hands together for Greta to step on.

"Of course, my dad brought me back when he went to Blue City to attend the ceremony."

Greta still took it for granted, stepped on Sawyer's hand, stepped on Sawyer's shoulder again, and climbed the wall neatly: "Don't ask so much, come up!" ”

"If you can tell, do I need to ask so much?"

Sawyer rolled his eyes and patted the footprints off his shoulders before jumping to the wall.

Outside the wall, there is the most common thing in the world - gray fog, the gray fog is blocked by an invisible barrier, surging and tumbling outside the barrier, and there are twisted black shadows walking sporadically in the gray fog, and strange sounds come from time to time, as if as long as you get out of this invisible barrier, you will enter a world full of horror and nightmares.

"Yo, what's the matter, our big master is scared? You're a knight too, and you're afraid of the gray fog? ”

Greta looked at Sawyer, who was a little hesitant, and immediately laughed, and learned from Sawyer to raise her eyebrows - she is a good girl and never holds grudges.

"But I don't remember going into the gray fog before, and this is the first time I've entered the gray fog for me."

Sawyer shrugged his shoulders and didn't care about Greta's provocation, which made Greta a little bored.

"Hmph, should I wait for you to get used to it?"

"That's not necessary," Sawyer took a deep breath as he looked at the churning gray mist, "Let's go." ”

As he spoke, Sawyer jumped off the wall, and Greta squatted down, put one hand on the wall, and fell down lightly, and at this time, Sawyer had already come to the border of the gray mist.

"Wait for me!"

Greta walked two quick steps to Sawyer's side, took out a light ball of light with a light red light from his pocket and was about to enter the gray mist, but Sawa looked at the ball of light in Greta's hand with interest: "This is what you call 'Tinder'?" ”

The "tinder" in Greta's hand looks like a ball with a soft glow, but if you look closely, you can see that it is actually a transparent crystal ball, and the light comes from the inside of the crystal ball, a faint, burning flame.

"Uh-huh," Greta nodded, with a hint of pride in her tone, "And it's a permanent tinder!" ”

"That's also for my sake."

Sawyer didn't hesitate to say to his heart, there are only two permanent fires in the entire Qingyan, and Carrot will not hand over such a precious thing just because of his daughter.

The so-called "Tinder", Sawyer had heard Greta say before, this magical thing can "disperse" the gray fog and create a limited safe space, whether it is walking in the gray fog or building a new gray fog stronghold, it is inseparable from the help of the fire.

Sawyer even guessed that the towers around the city were actually likely to be oversized tinder, and the towers were just a name, similar to the various "towers" in the world, and could exist in various forms, such as the Snow Tower Hosgar Peak, the Brass Tower Dwarf Gundam (mistakenly), the Green Tower Mobile Tree City, and so on.

However, this speculation was denied by Greta, although she had never seen a tower, but she also knew that a tower was a tower, a real tower, not a "tower" in some symbolic sense.

Sawyer accepted this statement, but did not deny his speculation, for him, there are still countless mysteries in this world, and all the truths can only be revealed until Sawyer goes to Blue City, perhaps, even if he arrives in Blue City, he can only reveal a small part of the truth, but in front of him, there is something that can give him a glimpse of the truth of the world.

"In order to prevent the fire from being lost, I'd better take it."

Soya said solemnly, ignoring Greta's objections, he took the tinder in his hand, although this thing will not be visible for a while, but from Qingyan to Sapphire Ring City, it will take at least four or five days to walk, and he will have to pass through two other gray fog strongholds on the way, and there is time for him to study.

So, Sawyer, who was holding the fire, and Greta, who was puffing up, just like that, strode into the range of gray mist.
