Chapter 042: The Way of Travel
Half a month later.
At the gate of the city wall of Smoke Screen Town, the flow of people coming and going gathered together, and it looked black and oppressive.
Many of them were carts made up of horses, carrying goods along the road at the city gates. Among them were also some pedestrians with longbows ready to hunt, and among them were five people wearing black robes, which were very conspicuous.
They stood there as if it were a golden sand, and several large shells appeared.
These five people are none other than Grant and his party.
"Alright, let's get ready to leave now, and we'll come back in two years, and when the time comes, I hope you can get your own satisfaction and other things. Well, now let's move towards our respective target locations together, and I'll first go to the Steer Province in the east to find the legend of Haizhu. ”
A soft smile appeared on Ha Ming's face, and he whispered there about his journey. As a former leader, Ha Ming is still very strong in some aspects.
Hearing their words, Grant stood there and nodded: "I'm still the same as before, to Moro Canyon." I'm interested in the Ash Town there, and I know it's definitely a gathering place for some ghosts, but I might be able to gather interesting information. ”
"The old man also has a goal, it seems that it is not the same as you, the place I went to is the most famous wine capital in the kingdom, and the taste of the wine there is really amazing. As for those alchemy materials, it's not a hassle to really want to find them. Master Ku stood there, gently touching the snow-white beard that was vertical on his chin, squinting his eyes and chuckling, that gluttonous look also made the surrounding mages quite speechless, but it was also reasonable.
The best bite of bitter adults. It's drinking. Now that you're in a new world, why don't you try something good. How can you be worthy of your own mouth.
Rose, with long wavy hair and a delicate and charming face, stood there. Glaring at Master Ku, he said angrily: "I went to the land of the banshees and the undead in the East, and I want to find the things in my target, and at the same time, I also want to go to the alchemist holy land where Grant said the royal capital last time, and it seems that the information there should be the most complete to analyze." ”
"That's right, and so am I." Thor touched his slippery head and nodded approvingly, his eyes fixed on the blue sky, and there was a hint of peace in his eyes.
"It seems that everyone has already decided where to go. Then I think we should all go together. ”
"Then let's say goodbye to everyone first, and we will eat together in two years."
"Haha, let's wait until we go to the Staff of the Sea to feel nostalgic."
"That's right."
"So, let's separate together."
After discussing for a while, the five of them gradually disappeared along the yellow road in front of them, until they reached an intersection in front of them, and each headed in the direction.
A few minutes later, two people in heavy silver trench coats stood at the original location of the city gate. It's covered in black streaks.
They wore high hats on their heads and fake beards on their chins, which didn't look too eye-catching, except for the exaggerated trench coats.
"Lord Grant. They're gone, hey, the rest of the things can only be fought by me alone. "Stand on the left. The familiar voice is none other than Heidein.
His gaze flickered, and there was a faint sense of disappointment.
Grant's days with him. More or less emotional, not to mention that others help them so much. Now it seems that the other party is also planning to visit other places. When I think of myself, I can't help but feel a sense of frustration.
"It's gone, but I'm afraid my father will be upset, and you know his mercenary personality is like a thug from Rippy."
"Don't worry, he'll support me." Heideyin said with some nonchalant, his eyes calm. He was well aware that Grant had taken control of Owen, Sidru, and the Knights. Now these people are undoubtedly supporting themselves, so there is no need to worry too much about those problems like Ivy said, but now they are hoping to grow their strength quickly.
Heydein and Grant are a little bit similar in some directions, and they both want to see more places and get to know the whole kingdom. When he saw these mysteries, he knew that the world was bigger than he had imagined, and many times bigger.
When the time comes, go with Ivy.
"How do you know?" Ivy glanced at Heideyin very strangely, with a thick doubt lurking in her eyes, and quietly walked up a few steps to her ear and ask about Heidein's inside.
She knows her father's character very well, and if she wants the other party not to talk about these things, there must be certain interests involved.
Heidein just thought that Ivy didn't know that her father had been controlled, and after being a little weird for a while, she didn't plan to tell Ivy the truth about the matter, otherwise there would be a certain estrangement. And now Owen is obviously cuter than before, and easy to get close to. The only trouble is Ivy's younger brother Ruka, who is clearly against him, but fortunately there is Owen to suppress it.
"Of course, this is what Lord Grant agreed with your father, let's not worry about these things, let's go back to the manor and get down to business first."
"Okay, okay, if I don't say it's okay, you know that I'm hidden. Didn't you tell me everything before, why did you learn to hide it from me now after you got married, don't you like me anymore? ”
"How so, but I don't understand the specifics of this matter, because it was Grant and your father who negotiated it in the first place. If you want to know about the bargain, ask your father. ”
"Hmph, let's go, I won't say anything."
"That's right, that's my good wife."
……
Hidden in the crowd, Heydein and Ivy gradually disappeared into the crowd and returned to their estate.
…………
In the evening, the sun gets darker and darker, and there are more and more wisps of clouds on the horizon, causing the whole sky to go dark very quickly.
The few remaining corners that were not obscured by the clouds shone through a golden beam of light that fell below.
Beneath the sky is a lush, dark green woodland with several winding paths, as well as artificially carved clearings, gray and white sculptures, and more.
Under the sunlight, any scenery is reflected with a faint golden yellow halo.
A rough yellow path with dark green weeds and small white flowers on both sides.
Creak......
A black horse and a black-robed pedestrian staggered forward, and in the sunlight, the shadow of the black-robed man was stretched long, like a thick black pillar.
He was none other than Grant.
Grant looked up at the sky that was about to fade, knowing that it would be darkened later. He lowered his head again and looked at the large dark green forest in front of him, and there were several black giant birds streaking in the sky.
At the moment, it seems that the night is spent only in the forest.
He walked on until he entered the border of the forest, and there were thick and thick trees in front of him, thick and dense leaves, and the thick trunks of huge trees that could not be picked up by one person, densely packed here.
Occasionally, several sounds can be heard, which appear to be beasts roaring in a low voice.
Grant had already made a day's journey, leaving the border area of Smokescreen early to arrive at a place called the Barren Forest.
It is called a barren forest, which does not mean that the plants in it are very sparse, on the contrary, they are very vigorous. As for the real reason, there are very powerful assassination beasts and some lurking bandits who will attack the caravans that pass by.
When Grant walked into the forest, he found that the sky had completely darkened, and it was pitch black all around, and he couldn't even see the starry sky.
He tiptoed a little and walked to a thick tree pole in front of him.
As for the horse, Grant used some stealth powder to make him disappear, and used the curing technique to have some energy, even if he didn't move, drink or eat for three days, he would be fine.
Brush!
Grant walked over to the slightly blackened tree poles and sat down, the bark was very hard and rough. As soon as Grant sat down, he felt like a stone path paved with sharp pebbles, which was very uncomfortable.
Fortunately, with some blankets, it didn't matter much.
"Ah, it's time to sleep, there's nothing else to do in this kind of place, well, quietly replenish the sleep for the next few days."
Grant stretched, yawning and ready to fall asleep. There's nothing to do here, just sleeping. As for the idea of traveling overnight, he has no plans for the time being.
He came to this kingdom without much importance, and there was no need to be in such a hurry.
I don't know how many hours I slept, Grant seemed to hear a sound, his eyelids trembled slightly, and soon saw some sporadic fire spots appear below, roughly counting, there were about twenty fire points, obviously ordinary oil torches.
Grant's ability to hear their conversations clearly, thanks to his superior hearing.
"I didn't expect to arrive in the barren forest so late, it's really unlucky."
"Whoever let another trade route be occupied by a group of robbers. At present, it seems that it will take at least two months for the nearby towns to send troops to encircle and suppress them, and this is the only way to go. ”
"But do you think it's a good path? After all, previous legends have proved that this place is dangerous. ”
"I haven't had anything going on for five or six years, so I guess it's fine."
"Whatever, they can't go to that road, now they can only take this road, everyone should hurry up, and when they stay up all night and walk through here to the plains there, there should be no danger."
"Come on, everyone, when we get to Fenni Town, I invite everyone to have a drink at the tavern for free."
"Okay, that's what you said."
"Of course I said that."
……
The sound gets quieter and quieter, and so does the firelight.
Grant sat on the stout pole and glanced at them, knowing in his heart that they were ordinary caravanserais. It seems that he came here because another trade route was occupied by thieves.
"Forget it, it's none of my business, I'd better sleep honestly." Grant didn't intend to bother either. After all, I don't know how many caravans I encountered on the way. (To be continued......)
