190. The tour begins
"You know me?" Looking at the dwarf's surprised look, Ding Hao pointed to himself curiously and asked. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
"No......" Brian's brain spun rapidly, and it took less than 0.5 seconds to clear his thoughts, obviously this person should not be looking for trouble: "I saw you at lunchtime, at the tavern of Salmon and River Mussels. ”
"So you're Brian who issued the archaeological mission?" Ding Hao asked Brian with the task list.
"That's right, that's what I posted." Brian replied very dryly, and then dragged Fitz, who was shrunk behind him, to the front: "Come and get acquainted, this is my assistant, Fitz, your task is to protect the two of us until this archaeological work is completed." ”
"Understood." Ding Hao nodded: "Then when will we leave?" ”
"No hurry, my friend." Brian said, "I need another day to recruit enough adventurers, and in the meantime you can go and prepare supplies, the rest of the journey will be very long." ”
There are airships, large ships, and even portals for long-distance travel on the continent of Acala, which can easily cross half the continent, but medium- and long-distance travel is not so convenient, and you can only use a variety of mounts. Coupled with the fact that the wilderness of Accalla is mostly unexplored, this makes wilderness travel inconvenient, so adventurers usually have to bring enough supplies before going on a field mission.
The most important of all supplies is water and food, and many missions involve going deep into barren and dangerous environments where it is difficult to obtain enough food and fresh water to sustain life, so it is very important to carry with you, in addition to all kinds of adventure equipment, such as compasses, miner's lamps, ropes, hooks, etc.
However, whether it is food or various tools, they are very sufficient in the imaginary space of Ding Hao and Huang Qian, so there is only one item that the two of them want to buy - the scroll of returning to the city.
As the name suggests, the Returning to the City Scroll is a kind of spell scroll that allows people to return to the city from the wild, this kind of scroll will use the energy of the magic web vein to instantly transmit the user to the city, of course, the user must set up a road sign on the collection stone in the city in advance, otherwise the Returning City Scroll will only teleport people randomly, which is not convenient at all.
However, it is worth noting that most of these scrolls returning to the city have a distance limit, for example, the one that Ding Hao bought in his hand, the maximum teleportation distance is 100 kilometers, and the reels will become invalid after the collection stone with a set road mark is more than 100 kilometers, and the more advanced the teleportation scroll, the longer the upper limit of the transmission distance, of course, the price is also very expensive, and it is not at all what Ding Hao and Huang Qian, who are now worth only a dozen gold coins, can afford.
When Ding Hao and the three of them came to the agreed place to gather the next day, they found that there were two more people next to the dwarf Brian, one was a thief with a long body and a cynical face, this thief had a double knife pinned to his waist, and the leather armor of his left elbow was relatively thick, and the analysis module on Ding Hao's helmet scanned out that the leather armor of this person's left hand contained some more complex mechanical structures, which looked like a kind of hidden arrow.
The other was a female paladin wearing heavy plate armor, carrying a shield on her back, and a warhammer pinned to her waist, her thick helmet completely covering her entire head, and she couldn't see her face clearly, only a few strands of golden hair were exposed.
"Yo! You're coming! Seeing Ding Hao and the three of them coming over, Brian greeted him from afar.
"Let me introduce you to you." Brian first pointed to the male thief beside him: "This thief's name is Tessaith, and he is a master of swordsmanship and treasure hunting. ”
"Stop." Tesseth interrupted Brian: "Please call me the pirate Tesceth, my dream is to lead an invincible armada across the endless seas." ”
"Then you'll have to have a ship, young man." Brian complained unceremoniously.
"Alright, let's take a look at this one." Bryan then pointed to the female paladin on the other side, "This is the paladin who specializes in healing, Catherine, and she will provide us with healing." ”
"IMHO." Catherine looked at Ding Hao and the others, then looked at Brian again, and asked her doubts in a soft voice: "I have already studied the location of the mission, this time we need to go to the territory of the cavemen, is it enough for the seven of us?" ”
"Uh......" Brian scratched his head in embarrassment, and then walked over to Ding Hao and motioned to talk alone.
"What's wrong?" Ding Hao was puzzled by Brian's appearance.
"First of all, I have to apologize to you, my apprentice accidentally exposed your equipment level at the Salmon and Mussel Tavern." What Ding Hao didn't expect was that Brian apologized when he opened his mouth, after all, it was a very rude thing to expose the other party's equipment level without the permission of others, and he would fight if he didn't get it right.
"It's nothing." Ding Hao shrugged his shoulders and said that it didn't matter, whoever dared to stretch out his claws to himself would chop whom, unequivocally.
"I have a question." Brian asked solemnly, "Does your strength match the legendary equipment you are wearing?" ”
Under normal circumstances, as Brian said, how good the equipment is, how high the strength is, but the equipment on Ding Hao's body is unbelievably good, so Brian asked more.
"Have you ever heard of the Abyss Lord? A large lizard among demons. Ding Hao did not directly answer Brian's question, but asked rhetorically.
"Of course, legend has it that those monsters were tricky ideas that caused great casualties to the rebels in the Battle of the Ancients." Brian, as an archaeologist, is certainly well aware of this.
"I've killed at least two." Ding Hao stretched out two fingers and shook them in front of Brian.
"Clams?" Listening to Ding Hao's words, Brian's mouth was open enough to stuff his fists: "Really? ”
"Is there any good in lying to you?" Ding Hao said that he believed it or not.
Since there are such awesome fierce people in the team, the difficulty of this archaeological activity has plummeted, and it has dropped to the same level as the outing, just like what Ding Hao said before - treat it as tourism.
For this archaeological activity, Brian specially got a carriage and three good horses, Ding Hao and the pirate Tseth rode one by one, Brian drove the carriage, and the female dependents were all in the carriage, but only half a day later, Huang Qian, who felt extremely bored, jumped out of the carriage.
"I want to learn to ride a horse!" Huang Qian shouted to Ding Hao.
Huang Qian was born after the end of the world, grew up in the barracks since she was a child, can drive all kinds of vehicles, run on the ground, fly in the sky, swim in the water, and even drive an aerospace plane, which is considered a fighter among female drivers, but only does not ride these animals, so she is particularly interested in using horses as a means of transportation at the moment.
However, Ding Hao is not a professional rider, he only has a few horseback riding experiences when he was playing in the playground before crossing, and at most he can ride on horseback without being thrown off, which is still far from really driving horses.
But it doesn't matter, it's a big deal that the two of them groped together, Ding Hao grabbed Huang Qian's hand and pulled her onto the horse, and then hugged her to find the feeling of riding a horse, and Huang Qian was a little nervous, and even used the quality ability.
Then it was the turn of the horses that the two of them stepped off to get nervous.
……
While the two of them were happily practicing horseback riding, Brando's group returned to the academy in the holy city of Nasara, the most spectacular city in the entire continent of Acala, because this 500-square-kilometer city is a giant floating city floating 2,000 meters above the upper reaches of the Nushui River.
Founded 2,000 years ago, the holy city of Nasara was the only city built at the foot of the holy mountain Ohar, and it was also a sacred place for mages. Then, due to a strong earthquake, in order to prevent a landslide from burying the city, the mages will forcibly raise Nassara from the ground and turn it into a floating city. After more than 2,000 years of development, Nasara has developed into a permanently neutral city, ruled by a Council of Six of Archmages, and it is no longer just a sacred place for mages, but a comprehensive academy city, open to all races and professions except demons.
Over the past thousand years, Nassara has sent millions of talents of all kinds to the entire continent, making outstanding contributions to the development of the continent, so it has earned the reputation of the holy city.
"I wonder why your mission failed?" In the office of the law enforcement team, Archmage Calle looked at Brando, who was covering his side ribs, and asked curiously, in his impression, this was the first time that the law enforcement team did not complete the task.
Kale is a member of the Council of Six and the leader of a law enforcement team that specializes in hunting down all kinds of degenerates.
"Jenny, she summoned two powerful demons, and those two demons are too strong for us to beat." Brando gritted his teeth and said with his side ribs covered, this is not because of anger, but because of pain, and now he only needs to exert a little force on his side ribs and it hurts badly.
"Tell me about the details of the time, and don't miss any details." Kalai said with a serious face.
So Brando started with the battle with Ding Hao, first the battle with Jenny, then the summoning spell, then the first encounter with Ding Hao, and finally the second encounter, all of which were said like pouring beans from a bamboo tube.
"Hmm......" Kale touched the short beard on his chin, "those two demons keep claiming that they are not demons?" ”
"That's right, but they said it in demonic language." Brando said.
"They let you go both times, and didn't kill a single one?" Kale's otherwise serious face gradually turned into curiosity.
"Yes, but he almost stabbed me to death with a dagger." Brando felt his side ribs start to hurt again.
"Don't forget that they gave you some medical supplies." Carlisle vividly remembers the bandages on his men when they returned: "What about the dagger?" Show it to me. (To be continued.) )
