Chapter Twenty-Seven: I'm Curious!
There is no alternation of day and night in the windy firmament, so there is no way to judge the passage of time, but fortunately, as druids close to nature, the people of Imotru have extremely punctual biological clocks.
After some field research and measurements, Jin Li and Thorin began to lead the group to set up a makeshift camp, because adult dwarves have to live alone, so almost every dwarf is a master builder, especially when it comes to digging and bearing weight, especially those who like to live underground.
The Valley Walkers began food production under the leadership of Hadza and Mukla. The latter evolved from the ape monster, has extremely rich experience in planting bananas, and seems to be affected by the elements, the soil of the wind firmament is more fertile than Imotru's, whether it is "planting", "growth" or "cultivation" are extremely efficient, and the druids have said that they are much faster than before, as if there is a lot less lag.
At the same time, other people who still had combat effectiveness also cheered up, walked in pairs of threes and threes, and began to explore this mysterious land according to Mu Yan's instructions.
Perhaps the trembling caused by the bloody battle of the previous night has not subsided, or the grief of the deceased lingers, and the people who have just entered the windy sky still have a little novelty and excitement. But as time passed, the freshness wore off, and a sense of sadness gradually filled the air. Suddenly, I don't know which cub howled first, and then began to cry, and soon the makeshift camp was filled with the cries of everyone who had tried their best to suppress them.
It's like a misty bead that falls on a bicycle saddle in the early morning of autumn, and although it is not obvious, it will gather into a clearly visible stream of water with a touch of your hand.
Gustavo took Susanna, Mu Yan and Sulia together, and left the camp and walked more than five hundred meters to the west, the fog in the air had made him unable to see the whole camp clearly, but he suddenly turned around as if he sensed something, and stopped silently in the direction of the camp for a while.
"What's wrong?" Mu Yan asked.
"Nothing." The patriarch shook his head in a rare seriousness.
After a few more steps, he spoke with some hesitation.
"Xiao Mu, you say...... If you hadn't met me that day in Woodthroat Village, or if I hadn't rescued you at the gate of Imotru, or if you hadn't come to Imotru at all, how many people would have been left in the camp now? β
Mu Yan thought back to the number of NPCs in the Wind Sky in the game, it seemed that there were less than a thousand, and most of them were NPCs above level 50, and there were very few low-end combat power. As it is now, there is no such thing as a situation in which thousands of elderly and infirm women and children are left in the camps.
But at this moment, he couldn't say that kind of answer.
Seeing that he didn't speak, Gustavo suddenly smiled, then reached out and patted him on the shoulder.
"Thank you, I'll let everyone keep this secret for you."
"Hmm...... Huh? Secret? What secret? β
"You're a god-favored." Gustavo suddenly returned to his normal state, squeezed his eyebrows and said: "I have never seen anyone who can change from a rookie around the second ring to a rookie like you overnight, and he has been in a stalemate with a sixth-level demonic beast for so long with a team of people of the same level as you, and I know this and that, a fool will be suspicious, don't put this sentence on your lips when you go out in the future." β
Mu Yan was stunned for a moment. "Is there anything wrong? Isn't Mia everyone's mother? β
"It's different." Gustavo sighed meaningfully. "Even a mother's cub has to snatch milk, not to mention that this is not a litter of ......"
Mu Yan just smiled and didn't refute. In the game, he said so many times, and Villefort only sent a letter to give a verbal warning, and now he has a system of complaining that even lies, and he doesn't give a little warning, how can he care? If there's anything wrong with that, the system should have given you a hint a long time ago. However, the other party's words reminded him of another thing.
"Speaking of which, I have a problem."
"You say."
"What would you do if it weren't for me, but you also came to the Wind Firmament?"
Gustavo was stunned for a moment.
"You meanβ"
"It's business as usual, what would you do if I didn't exist? For example, did you have anything to do with me when you performed 'Free Fall' for them just now? β
The patriarch seemed to understand what he meant, and thought quietly for a while.
"I should do that again."
"And then? Who do you think will come to your rescue? Mu Yan asked again.
"You Erhuzi! It must be him, that guy will turn into six kinds of fish! There's a kind of Mogu pike that can breathe fire underwater, didn't you say that thing was afraid of fire? β
Mu Yan was stunned for a moment and wrote down this extremely useful piece of information.
"And then? What happens after being rescued? β
ββ¦β¦ I don't know, maybe set up camp as now, and then go out to explore the way, and finally I guess it's dark and go back to ...... Ahem β activity. The patriarch was hit in the waist by Susanna's small fist, and he almost died.
"I guess I understand."
Mu Yan smiled knowingly and gave up the idea of continuing the simulation.
In fact, he just wanted to imagine what the druids would have done under Gustavo's leadership if he hadn't intervened himself, because the scenery he had seen in just a few steps was very different from the wind firmament he remembered......
But judging from the feedback received, the patriarch is clearly not suitable for this kind of overly complicated game, and first-person shooters are his favorite.
β¦β¦
Three days later, the expeditions returned to the camp one after another, and the first crops spawned by the Valley Walkers were ripe, and they harvested half of them, turning the remaining half into the soil along with the roots and vines as a token of gratitude for the food the land had given them.
Of course, Mukla's banana trees are still alive.
In the evening, the elven trio was the last to return to the camp, and Miss Tina assigned Amacer to hand over a thick scroll of maps to Mu Yan.
"Where have you gotten farthest?" He asked.
Amatho glanced at him, as if he didn't want to answer.
"Why don't I ask Surya to ask you?"
This sentence seemed to unravel the other party's scars, and he had to speak extremely reluctantly.
ββ¦β¦ We went around the tree and walked more than a hundred miles west. β
"Thank you."
Watching him leave, Mu Yan muttered "Death Tsundere" and then added the last piece of the puzzle to the map he had drawn.
He arranged for everyone to go separately to inspect according to the distribution of the buildings in the Wind Sky in his memory, and the three of them happened to go to the star corridor where the "Starlight Arena" was located.
On the official map, this place is centered on the Eternal Tree, and is divided into four parts according to east, west, north and south, which are called Lakeside, Star Corridor, Wind Bush and Muye, of which the lakeside is the place where everyone is temporarily stationed.
The Star Corridor is west of the Tree of Eternity, across the tree from here, and in the future there will stand a "Starlight Arena" similar to the ancient Roman Colosseum, about the size of a football field, although it is oval-shaped, but the field is circular, and the extra two ends are buildings similar to the players' lounge, where players can engage in small-scale team battles or solo battles, the latter is not public by default.
Of course, in order to accommodate more players at the same time, this kind of functional venue must have a dimensional division, and the officials don't even bother to explain it with a layer of game skin, as if they don't care about the temporary main city.
Compared to Morning Star City, the beautiful Sky of the Wind is as unpopular as Cinderella in the eyes of her stepmother.
In the Three Kingdoms competition held by Morning Star in the Year of the Shimmering Flowers (775 Faith Calendar), that is, when Surya won the championship, the official even took the initiative to answer the player's question in the forum, "Just one main city can accommodate millions of players to fight, won't the Lokan people regard this as a miracle", they said, "This is a space spell jointly cast by legendary mages from Jialan, involving plane knowledge... (A string of professional-looking explanations)... In addition, for the principle of image broadcasting, we also asked the designer to explain, if you need to... (link)...", and shamelessly used his privilege to bolden the question, and successfully went to the stomach to completely block the trolls' mouths. But this behavior also attracted more angry trolls, and a five-year tug-of-war against spraying began. After that, their unexplained behavior in the "Starlight Arena" became a small climax of the trolls' counterattack.
And now, judging from the information they fed back, this extremely prestigious arena has not even appeared? What are you kidding, the architectural style of the city-state of Klamen, more than 2,000 years ago, that the druids under the leadership of Gustavo could imitate? Or in just three years, several master architects have suddenly awakened in the druids of the windy firmament, and under their command, everyone has worked together to build a magnificent Klaman arena, and they have made it old with ingenuity? Or, to put it even more bizarre, the arena simply grew out of the ground on its own.
Not only that, but the other two districts are also very different from what he remembers.
The man who came back from the winds said that there were many acacia trees growing on the south side, and the flowers were blooming just right, and the golden light was shining, and there was nothing else. But Mu Yan had the impression that it was a living occupation area and a trade area, and the only library in the Wind Sky was also located there.
The labyrinth-like library has a total of four floors, the first three layers contain books, and the fourth floor is a public enchantment table, which is only accessible to players who enchant more than level 8, paid to use, and has a 5% "Tranquility" success rate bonus. It sits on a large acacia tree, with a thick foliage wall on the outside, rustling whenever a gust of wind blows, and its peaceful atmosphere contrasts with that of Lokan, where the dead were everywhere and the lives were devastated.
People returning from the north say that the climate around Kino is comfortable and full of autumn mood, making it suitable for living. Mu Yan agreed with this, because the druid's living area was indeed in Muye.
So the question arises, what about other buildings besides the houses they built themselves?
In addition, there was a strange situation that caught his attention, some people said that a statue was faintly seen in the center of the "diving lake", but because of the incident of Gustavo three days ago, no one dared to enter the water to approach it for the time being, so it was not really visible, which coincided with what he saw and heard that day.
Well, not only are there two large buildings missing, but there is also a mysterious statue. Now Mu Yan is even more curious.
