Chapter 34: To Lilliputian Territory
Taklama, one of the four major cities of the Utopian Alliance with a teleportation square, is controlled by the Winged Terrans, and the laws are much more lenient than those of other cities of the Utopian Alliance.
Since Utopia is an interracial business alliance, it is also one of the only countries that is not a human kingdom, but still has a temple of the goddess of wealth, and the other country, of course, is the Aravi Dragonborn Empire.
The operation could be a bit troublesome, so Sue, Poppy, and Ellie all stayed in the temple for convenience. After exchanging his gold card for a lot of gold coins at the Temple of the Goddess of Wealth, Noron changed into a mage outfit and began to search the mutual aid house for a mission to the Lilliputian.
In order to reduce the possibility of exposure, and also for the sake of the experience that is still five hundred years away, Noron chose a mission worth three faith crystals to escort a caravan to the Lilliputian territory to buy specialties.
Mission: Escort a caravan, a group of merchants want to go to Lilliputian territory for business, but recently they heard that there are a lot of monsters near the Akara Mountains where the Lilliputians live, so they decided to hire some professionals to escort them.
Objective: To escort the merchants to the Akara Mountains, where the Lilliputians are located.
Rewards: 720 XP, 3 gold and 20 credits.
For each merchant who dies, half of the reward is deducted.
The process of receiving the task was very simple, Noron just summoned an earth element in front of the caravan leader, and the old merchant named Deegan enthusiastically slid the task onto Noron's light screen, indicating that he had successfully taken the task of escorting the caravan.
He spent the night at the inn near the Temple of the Goddess of Fortune, and the next morning, Noron set out with the caravan. Taklama is not far from the Akara Mountains, where the Lilliputians are located, and the horse-drawn carriage is only about a month away.
Among the fellow professionals is a LV2 Explorer Specialized Stalker, a young man of the Bloodline; There is a LV7 barbarian berserker in his thirties, who doesn't have enough money for alcohol and can't take on a mission; There is also a pair of twin brothers, druids, who are Woodpaw Bears from the Utopian Alliance's Bear-Monster Domain, Woodpaw Village.
There are three wagons and four merchants, they are the head of the caravan Clan Boss Deagan, the old members of the caravan, Hammer and Goblin Raul of the Serpent Clan, and the human Freddy. In addition, there are several ordinary people who are hired to drive and do some odd jobs.
"Mr. Norlon, Miss Mira, as advanced professionals, you two are really young!"
Mila was the name of the Bloodline, a pretty girl, about the height of Noron's shoulders, and using two military spurs that were common to Stalkers. In the face of Digan's praise, Noron replied with a smile, 'I have won the award', and this girl turned around and left a sentence of 'I'll go ahead to investigate', and then entered a stealth state and disappeared, which made Boss Digan a little embarrassed.
Still kind-hearted Noron changed the topic to help him step down: "Boss Digan, it seems that you are not young anymore, why do you still have to follow the caravan in person?" ”
Boss Digan touched his well-groomed beard: "The old man is sixty-three years old this year, half of his foot has stepped into the coffin (the average age of the blood clan civilians is eighty-four), and his daughter is also married and has children. However, "
The old man suddenly raised his voice and said proudly: "Even if I am not a powerful professional like you, the old man can't stand the days of staying in the city every day to bask in the sun and play with flowers and plants. So I took out my savings from my youth, found a few partners, and continued to run the caravan work of my youth, and I barely gained some in the past few years, and everyone was willing to work with me. In recent times, I have found that my grandson's favorite crafts and toys are very popular, but because Lilliputians live near the mountains and the rough roads are a big problem, there are not many crafts and toys in Taklama every year. After some observation and research, I decided to give this trade route a try, and if I was really lucky enough to find a road that barely allowed for horse-drawn carriages, then it would be a real success! ”
So what if you don't find it? Noron looked at the old man's excited expression and couldn't help but say nothing.
But the old blood clan in his sixties was well-informed, and he saw Noron's thoughts at a glance, and said: "It doesn't matter if you can't find it, businessmen, it's normal to have losses and profits." If this exploration fails, I will transfer all the guys in my hands to a few partners, and I will stay in Taklama to retire in peace in the future. ”
I'm sorry, old man, but it seems that you will really have to stay in Taklama to retire in the future. Noron, who came this time to take the Lilliputians away, expressed his apologies in his heart to this ordinary man who was not convinced of the old man.
At this moment, a 'boom' sound of arrows came from afar, which was Mira's signal that there was a monster in front of them, and everyone was ready to fight.
The carriage quickly stopped, and Noron and several other professionals walked to the front of the carriage, the barbarian berserker clenched the double-sided axe that shimmered with cold light in his hand, and the two bear monsters added wild strength and natural aura to him, and Noron summoned two earth elementals, and also put petrified skin on the barbarian.
Wild Strength LV15 (non-upgradeable): A Druid's exclusive spell increases the recipient's strength by 10% for five minutes.
(Look at my explosive muscles!) )
Nature's Breath LV15 (upgradeable), a nature-based spell that restores three points of damage per minute and lasts for ten minutes.
(Nature bless you)
In less than a minute, Mira's swift figure appeared in front of everyone, she pulled down her mask, and said quickly: "There are eight gnolls in front, all of them are monsters around LV10, I shot two with my crossbow, and the rest will chase after me soon." ”
Before he could finish speaking, the gnoll's 'whoop' cry had already appeared in front of Nolon's eyes. Seeing that there were just a few gnolls, several professionals breathed a sigh of relief. Among them, the barbarian laughed: "Look at me! He picked up his heavy axe and rushed forward, while Noron silently prepared the blade of the rock.
The barbarian stepped forward with a roar, one at a time, and quickly overturned three gnolls, leaving the three gnolls to turn in horror and try to escape, but the barbarians who were striding in pursuit cut down two more, and the last one made Noron's rock blade nailed to the tree, and the head was cut off by the laughing barbarian.
Roar LV10 (non-upgradeable): Warrior skill, increases 3 strength for 2 minutes, cooldown for half an hour.
(Duration two minutes?) That's too short, isn't it? )
