Chapter 41: The Hills of Dragon's Blood
After packing their luggage and loading everything into the carriage, Green and his party left the hotel. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Sylvina and the slave girl Sarai each drove a carriage, while Grimm rode in the carriage driven by Sakia and a loli dragon.
The climate on the north and south sides of the Avas Mountains is very different, and the north and south gates of the Elsa Fortress are two very different styles.
The north gate faces the endless desert, so people who enter and exit will be tightly wrapped, and the mounts are basically all desert monitor lizards; The south gate faces the Five Lakes Plain, so the people who enter and exit from the south gate are dressed very coolly, and the mounts are also strange - horses and chocobos are the two more common mounts, and in addition to the occasional encounter with the dragon pulling the carriage.
The two carriages moved along the road and soon left the fortress of Elsa.
Shortly after Grimm and his party left the fortress, Mona, who had been tied up outside the carriage by Grimm as a guard, suddenly screamed.
"Mona!"
"Mona! Mona! ”
"Mona ......"
……
"What happened?" Green nervously picked up his staff, ready to cast a spell at any moment.
"Prophet, there was a man who stopped the carriage." It was Dragon's Blood Lori Arya who spoke.
I saw that Arya was holding a crystal ball in her hand, and the situation around the carriage was reflected in the crystal ball.
On the roof of the carriage was a magical perceptual fixed by Grimm with the [Sentinel's Eagle Eye], and this crystal ball was the scene reflected by that perceptual.
Green glanced at the scenery reflected in the crystal ball and couldn't help frowning.
The man who stood in the way, Green found himself seemingly knowing.
Green opened the window of the carriage: "Is there something wrong?" ”
Appearing in front of the carriage was the young man he had seen not long ago. The young man carried luggage on his back, a few long swords hanging from his waist, and he looked dressed as ready to travel far away.
"Yo~ Boss, how about a ride?" The chestnut-haired boy said with a smile.
"Hitchhiking?" Green couldn't help frowning, "Why?" ”
"If we all work together, we can be safer. Dragon's Blood Hills aren't very safe. The chestnut-haired boy smiled and said, "Wouldn't it be nice to have one more free guard?" ”
Greene: "Where are you going?" ”
"I'm going to follow the note you gave me and go to Lisbon." The chestnut-haired boy grinned and said, "You should be going to Lisbon too, right?" How about getting a partner? ”
"Are you going to Lisbon?" Green was a little surprised, "The relationship between the Silvermoon Federation and the Dawn Kingdom is not very good, right?" And you serve in the local army of the Elsa Fortress, and you are also a captain. If you run to Lisbon, aren't you afraid of being caught as a spy? ”
The Silvermoon Federation is a military alliance formed by several small states and independent city-states, and its relationship with the Dawn Kingdom is not very good.
"That's why I'm here to find you, the 'Golden Coin Prophet'. You're a transcendent mage, aren't you? And he came from the Endless Desert, and he had nothing to do with the forces here. The chestnut-haired boy grinned and said, "Boss, how's it going?" Would you like to consider hiring me as your bodyguard? It's free. ”
Green touched his chin and thought for a moment, "Yes, but if you get caught, I won't admit that I know you." ”
"No problem! Boss, you have the final say. The chestnut-haired boy said with a grin.
"Then I'll leave the guard around the carriage to you." Green paused, "Don't you have a mount?" ”
"Absolutely." The chestnut-haired boy shrugged his shoulders, then took out a whistle and blew it!
With a silent whistle, in the forest, the figure of a geowalking dragon slowly changed from faint to strong, and finally turned into a substance. Then the earthly dragon came out of the forest and came to the side of the chestnut-haired boy.
Green glanced at the earth-walking dragon summoned by the chestnut-haired boy, "How long can this magic mount of yours last?" ”
"Four hours a day, that's basically enough."
"Hmm...... You walk next to the carriage behind you and guard the area around the carriage behind. ”
The chestnut-haired boy blinked: "I see, boss, are you planning to use the carriage behind you as bait?" ”
Green shrugged: "Just in case." ”
Two identical carriages, the one with the escort must be more important, right? Therefore, if you encounter a robber, the carriage with the guard must be taken care of!
After arranging the guards, Green closed the window, then glanced at the BUF on his body, and then made up a protective arrow.
Defensive arrows provide good defense against ranged attacks, effectively defending against ranged sneak attacks, while the duration of several hours allows mages to permanently use this protective spell on them. In the game, many mage players have [Protective Arrows] hanging on their bodies 24 hours a day.
After instructing Sakia and Arya to keep an eye out the window, Green pulled out the spell book and flipped through it.
With Sylvina, Mona, and the young man on the outside, and Sakia's magic eye and Arya's hawkeye inside, Green felt that it was unlikely that he would be attacked.
Dragon's Blood Hill is a hilly area south of the Elsa Fortress, named after a noble golden dragon who was attacked and wounded.
It is said that the attackers were none other than the army of the Dawn Kingdom. Of course, the Dawn Kingdom, which believed in the god of light, resolutely refused to acknowledge the attack, and poured this basin of dirty water on the god of conspiracy and the city-state of Silvermoon. The Church of the God of Conspiracy said it was willing to take responsibility for the incident, but the Silvermoon City-State said it was not responsible.
Whatever the truth of the story, however, the attack eventually led to a neutral city-state officially joining the Silvermoon Federation - because the attacked golden dragon was none other than the city-state's lord, the legendary golden dragon "Golden Lucky" Godruraki!
And the place where Green is going now is the "golden lucky" city, Golden Water City.
However, if you want to reach Jinshui City, you must first pass through the Dragon's Blood Hills.
Due to the ambush of "Golden Lucky" here, the magical dragon's blood was sprinkled here, which caused some changes in the environment here, and a kobold monster lair was born.
The Dragon's Blood Hills originally belonged to the buffer zone between the Dawn Kingdom and Jinshui City, and the impact of that attack meant that no one had brought it under its management, and in the end, the kobolds could only wreak havoc here.
When Grimm and his party entered the Dragon's Blood Hills, they immediately felt the sight from the forest.
In the shade of the forest, the kobold quietly watched the carriage of Grimm and his party.
