Chapter 63: Altitude Sickness

The warrior monk glanced at him meaningfully, but he didn't ask anything more, he turned around and beckoned, and continued to walk forward. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info net

I didn't encounter any more tricky enemies in the rest of the year, so the trip was correspondingly much faster.

After passing through the Tashkrim Wasteland, the altitude gradually increased, and the land was no longer as flat as it had been when passing through the wasteland, but rose and fell visibly upwards with the naked eye, and if you kept moving south, it would not be long before you could see the huge mountain range that divided the whole world in two.

It is a magical mountain range known to the world as a magnificent barrier, it stretches from the Sea of Conquerors in the west to the Sea of the Watchmen in the east, and stretches across the entire Great 6, its height will make all climbers despair, and it is said that by climbing the highest peak of this mountain range, you can communicate with the legendary star spirits of the astral plane, and thus obtain an unimaginable inheritance.

Darius would love to see how magnificent the mountains that divide the world in two, but the Great Barrier was not their destination, and in order to reach Gloraine, they now had to head west through the mountains of Sassomel.

The scenery here has changed again.

The extremely pure sky of the Sassomel Mountains is a strange royal blue, like a crystal clear sapphire, so clean that there is no trace of impurities, as if you can see the spasm of the sky, the verdant and dense woods stretch to the sky, and the thick and thin trees of five people hugging each other can be seen everywhere, which looks primitive and beautiful, and the peculiar beauty unique to the high altitude will make people who have seen it for the first time think that they have come to a fairyland.

But this is not a wonderland.

Although this peaceful and pure scenery makes people feel inexplicably reassured, in fact, the high altitude brings no less trouble to the team than in the wasteland, and they must not let down the slightest vigilance, many people in the team have headaches and dizziness, and in severe cases, they even begin to vomit and faintβŠ₯ even Darius himself also slightly feels that his physical condition is not very good, and he needs to make some adjustments.

He knew why, because in his hometown, people called it, altitude sickness.

Altitude sickness is a variety of bifurcation reactions produced by the human body after rapid exposure to a low-pressure and hypoxic environment, and is a common disease unique to plateau areas. But the people here are not aware of this, the lack of biologists and medical scientists makes it unclear how it all happened, they attribute it to the gods' warnings to mortals trying to touch the sky, and there is also a theory that the plateau is inhabited by the descendants of the star spirits, who do not like to be disturbed by mortal humans, which is why this place is a forbidden place where ordinary humans are not welcome.

In fact, this theory is still very widespread, and the general tribes gradually settle a little north due to fear and fear, and the adventurers try not to haunt such places, which is why this area is deserted.

Darius followed closely behind the female mage Althea, who took a bottle of potion from his bag and handed it to him.

Peel off the cork, and then drink it with a clatter, the cold and bitter liquid flows from the mouth all the way to the stomach, and then turns into a warm current, soaking into the cold of the limbs, and the feeling of chest tightness and weakness disappears completely.

I have to say that the female mage Althea's ability to make potions is also first-class, otherwise she would not have been able to find out the identity of a pharmacist to disguise herself.

When he first served in the garrison, it was also a mountainous area, but he never felt like this, and he guessed that the altitude of the same mountain, the Alstow Mountain, was much lower than this place, so he first developed altitude sickness.

This also gave him a new understanding of the geography of the whole world, anyway, north of the grand barrier, the whole world is gradually decreasing, as for what is the situation south of the grand barrier, you have to go to the field to investigate, to know.

After marching for most of the day, the caravan found a relatively flat open field, where Valek ordered to set up camp. While everyone was busy, the female priest glanced at Darius and motioned for Darius to follow her, so the two of them quietly walked out of the camp one after the other.

Orthea didn't speak, but walked silently until she was almost out of sight of the camp, and then stopped.

Darius had been following her, and when he saw her stop, he quickened his pace, and soon came to her.

This is the first time that Orthea has called him to a remote place to talk about things, the two of them have said anything in the tent before, with their strength, naturally they will not let others overhear their conversation, but this time she called him out alone, which means that it is an extremely important matter.

"What's wrong?"

"The organization has just contacted me, and these days the Supreme Command has called back most of the generals in the country, and we have held a long meeting in a row, and we have received the news that General Darkwell has begun to prepare for war, and the object of preparation is the Demacians in the west."

"What?" Darius couldn't help but express that mages always had all kinds of secret methods as a means of communication, so it was not surprising that she contacted the organization, the key point was that the information she said was too important.

"Why is there going to be a war all of a sudden? We didn't show any signs when we came out, did we? ”

Althea nodded, and then subconsciously looked around left and right, in fact, her perception had already confirmed the surrounding situation, but out of prudence, she used her eyes to confirm it again.

"In the only passage of the Great Barrier, not far from the Moglon Pass, there is a village called Karamanda, where a large amount of mineral deposits and magical hubs have appeared, and in order to fight for the ownership of this neutral territory, the war between Noxus and Demacia is inevitable."

"You mean, it's a good opportunity for me?"

Darius immediately understood what this meant to him, and then he saw Althea's approving gaze, "The organization thinks the same way, not only you, but we also have another companion who has received an important mission, and if it is done well, then his position will be completely secured." ”

"And because the war is about to break out, the organization will make a new plan for you, and the main thing for us now is to let you catch up with this opportunity and enter Brent's field of vision, so that you can accumulate enough merit in the next war."

Darius was not affected by this news, he quickly calmed down, and analyzed: "Our trip is still far away, so there is still enough time to make a detailed plan, I still have the same request, no matter what you plan, I must have the right to know." ”

Althea was about to speak, but she turned her body sharply, quietly scooped the staff out of her sleeve, and shouted in that direction, "Who is it?" ”

"Who's there?" (To be continued.) )
