Act Twenty-Six: The Fort of the Northland

The roads leading to the city were not very good, and the horse-drawn carriages were always rocking from side to side. The female knight chief glanced at Su Chen, who was holding her chin with one hand and looking at the scenery outside, and then chuckled, "Are you here for the first time?" Fort of the Northland. ”

"Actually...... Yes. ”

The Psychic Warlock stared out the window at the growing number of houses and pedestrians with his rather dark eyes. It seemed that because it was rare for such a battered convoy to arrive here, the stout men all took a closer look at the tattered convoy heading towards the Northland Fort. There were children laughing and running after the carriage, and many more had a little deep meaning in their eyes—it was clear that such a convoy had experienced a terrible battle, but they might not have imagined that one of the convoys would defeat the necromancers raging in the North, and that they would also be rewarded by the Grand Duke.

Su Chen held back his thoughts, his carriage was about to reach the Dragon Bridge, the massive structure that separated the Northland Fort from the plains outside. And after the carriage drove into the inside of the Dragon Bridge, Su Chen withdrew his gaze from the window.

The caravan will stop here for a short time, and then Wales will let the rest of the group head to the Caravan, a vast building in the lower city of the Northland Fort. Of course, those who were injured would be sent to the church for treatment first, but the chief knight did not deal with her injuries, and she first had to report a detailed report of the incident to her superiors. She asked Su Chen to wait for a while, because the Grand Duke would definitely summon them, but not at this time.

Then the chief knight left the place.

"What are your plans for the future, Alan?" Kedil suddenly asked Su Chen at this time, and the latter smiled bitterly: "I'm really confused about the future...... I'll probably make a trip to the Shipwreck Island first, and then I'll go find the Spiritist you told me about earlier. Later, I'll probably go to the Arcane Empire to learn more magic, anyway - think of myself as an adventurer for now. ”

Su Chen didn't see any players in this crowded city - he had been sitting in the carriage and looking out, just to see a player, even if there was only one, he would have tears in his eyes as if he had found an organization. It's a pity that he didn't see that he couldn't see the people of his hometown in such a huge city, so he might have really been abandoned to a completely unknown place.

"Adventurers...... How I want to be a carefree adventurer. Curdil sighed, "I've had many years as an adventurer, and I've even been the leader of a thieves' guild in Cam in the South. I used to think that I would continue to take risks until I was old, but I didn't think that I was tired of the life of an adventurer before I was old...... So after receiving the Duke's reward, I will probably find a place to live in peace. ”

Big brother, are you setting up a flag, do you know, if it's an ordinary novel plot, you're going to get a bento in less than 50,000 words.

"You've got so much that I'd even like to ask you to join me on an adventure if possible." Su Chen sighed, "But now I'm afraid we're going our separate ways." "Because of Su Chen's pitiful charm attribute, his 'persuasion' or 'bluffing' skills are really a bit ugly, even if Kodil is his friend, he can't persuade Kodil to change his mind. So Su Chen was extremely entangled - why didn't I choose a warlock or a holy warrior in the first place? Isn't my biggest dream to eat with my face?

"But before I can do that, I'll have to help you find the teleportation array here." Kodir said with a smile, "I don't know why, but you seem to have a great obsession with the island of shipwrecks. Are you reminded of someone there who is important to you? Then you must go there to see it once, and people who regain the past can better embrace the future. To Kedil's words, Su Chen could only smile helplessly, in the past? His past was far away in another world, sealed in the deepest part of his mind, untouchable.

But he'd go to the Shipwreck Island anyway—for the sake of what he wanted. He and his senior sister agreed to meet there, so he would not miss the appointment.

After questioning passers-by, the two found the teleportation array located in the Xicheng District of the Northland Fort, and then Su Chen asked about the price of teleporting from here to the Shipwreck Island, and then he was stunned-

"Teleportation to the Isle of Shipwrecks has been closed due to the Tides of Mana." The official in charge of the teleportation array said, "We can teleport anywhere in the Flanon Empire, and we can also connect to the teleportation network of the Arcane Empire, but the island of the sunken ship happens to be on the node of the magic web, and if we want to teleport there, it will inevitably be affected by the magic tide...... The recent magic tides have been a bit too strong, so teleporting to the Shipwreck Island has become extremely dangerous, so you can teleport to Deep Summer City and then take a boat to the Shipwreck Island. ”

- Since I can't go directly to the Island of the Shipwreck, why don't I visit the Arcane Master first? Su Chen left after learning about it, after all, he hadn't accepted the duke's reward yet, so it was too unwise to give up the reward at his fingertips.

When they walked out of the teleportation array, it was already dark, and just as Su Chen and Kodil were about to find an inn and wait for the news of the Grand Duke's summons to them, Kodil suddenly stopped.

While Fort Northland was indeed a bustling place, empty alleys could still appear when it was getting dark, and Curdil could easily hear the suppressed exclamations coming from a remote alley. So he pointed to the alley that led to a silent corner and said, "There's a situation there." ”

Although Su Chen's camp is neutral, the Kodil camp next to him is undoubtedly kind...... Su Chen is estimated to be neutral and kind. So when he encounters injustices, he must take care of it, and since his friends have to take care of it, then Su Chen naturally won't go back alone-"Let's go over and take a look." ”

Then the two of them walked into the dark alley. Su Chen suddenly felt the smell of blood in the air here, and his face couldn't help but become serious - he couldn't imagine that what he thought was an ordinary robbery would encounter such an accident.

Kodil untied the longbow behind him.

"It smells of dead people here, be careful."
