Chapter Sixty-Eight: The Town of Granas
Epic gear is not cabbage and will not be everywhere. Similarly, monster sieges don't happen all the time, at least when Karel arrives at the fortress city of Granas, the northernmost part of the Atlantean Empire, it's been a smooth ride. Even the Dawn Man was gone.
Maybe they're trying to find themselves, but it doesn't matter, just as many as they come, as many as they die. As a top-level stalker, Karel has this confidence.
The town of Granas is a border fortress city, and from here, it is a completely undeveloped and primitive environment, unlike Delane City, there are more adventurers here, and the strength is stronger, at least with the strength of the elite level or above. Of course, this level does not mean how strong their physical strength or magical power is, but it means that they are already considered to be the elite in terms of overall strength in this world.
After all, you can't rely on muscles and magic alone to go out on adventures, otherwise you won't know how to die.
"Spider Glade, Spider Egg Collection Quest, Fire Mage, Warlock! Come to the elite and above, a team of 7 people! ”
"Purple Creek Valley Ore Team, come to the profession that will detoxify! Paladins first! Ore harvest average points! ”
"Poison Abyss Exploration Team! Those who are not afraid of death come! ”
Outside the Adventurers' Guild was like a vegetable market, full of crowds shouting and shouting, and a whole bunch of small stalls, all of whom were unwilling to throw their harvest to the auction house. After all, the auction house charges an intermediary fee, but if you sell it yourself, you can't guarantee that you won't lose sight and sell the treasure as garbage, so how to sell the loot is still according to your own wishes.
The distance from the town of Granas to the Dwarvens' Cursed Valley, the village of the dead dwarves where the Uranium alloy was made, was long and the terrain was complicated, and Karel bought a map and sat in the tavern and watched carefully.
According to the content on the map, if it is a straight distance from the town of Granas to the Valley of the Damned, then you need to pass through the Giant's Plain, the Insect Forest, the Purple Creek Valley, the ancient human ruins of Amarnas, and the Forest of the Dead, and then climb over the Decay Mountains to reach the Valley of the Damned.
Now do the math, fifteen days, from San Diego Academy to the Valley of the Curse and back, it has taken me seven days from San Diego College to Granas Town, and if I go back now, I will be able to arrive on time.
Belch......
Pit daddy, this is! Karel slammed the map in his hand, and roared in his heart, half a month back and forth turned out to be the speed of the air vehicle, and he was running on the ground, and a month and a half was about the same!
Forget it, a month and a half is a month and a half, and I don't owe anything to the school.
Just as Karel was about to put away the map and get up, he suddenly felt someone tap him on the shoulder.
"Huh?" Karel jerked his head back.
Standing behind him was an elf girl, startled by Karel's movements, and hovered her hands in the air in a little embarrassment.
"You... Hello, are you going to go north? After a moment of silence, the elf girl held back such a passage.
"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to look, I just accidentally saw your finger pointing at Amanas......" Seeing Karel keep staring at herself, the elf girl looked even more nervous, and her face turned red.
"You want to invite me to Amarnas?" Karel spoke.
"Well, yes, we have one less thief." Perhaps because she found that Karel was easier to get along with, the elf girl relaxed a little, and at this time Karel also noticed that the elf girl was wearing an intermediate suit made by the Holy See of Light-Belief Set, which is said to be a weakened version of the Epic Suit - Faith Set, and its set effect has two things, one is to reduce the healing spell condensation time by 20%, and the other is to reduce the consumption of healing spells by 20%. It seems that this elven girl is a member of the Holy See of Light.
"Okay, let's go." Thinking about the elven girl's words, Karel looked at the map again, although it is not the most comfortable distance from Amarnas to the Valley of the Damned, it is also the closest distance, as for safety? What's the problem?
The so-called Holy See of Light was originally called the Holy Light Adventurer Service Guild, but I don't know who changed it to the Holy See of Light. And this name feels good, so the official directly changed it and has been used until now.
Not everyone who is called the Holy See of Light has to believe in that God of Light, and besides, there is no such thing in this world. Although there are legends of gods in the realm of Emis, they are limited to the legends in the old man's mouth. As for the reality of existence, Karel had never heard of any other god except from the mouth of the black dragon in the Misty Swamp. And what kind of thing the dragon god in the mouth of the black dragon is, there is no way to know.
Well, the topic is far away, this elf girl is named Serisa, a member of the Bronze Shield Guard Adventure Group, they received a mission to go to Amarnas to find items, however, Amarnas, as the largest ancient human remains found so far, is full of organs, and it takes at least two members of the assassin class to get through guò, and it's just that Guò is not deep, so when Thérisa was looking for foreign help, she accidentally bumped into Karel.
Thresa led Karel to the other members, who looked at the members of the Bronze Shield Guard carefully, and the other party was also looking at Karel carefully.
There are a total of 5 bronze shield guards, the elven precept priest Seresa, the minotaur protection warrior Thunderhoof, the human beastmaster hunter Tress, the dwarven elemental shaman Murlet, and one is the dwarf assassination thief Serien.
"Oh my God, you're so tall!" Cyrian said that this was the main way the gnomes greeted other races except the dwarves.
"Welcome, strange friend." The Minotaur said in a generous tone, "You can see that you are extraordinary. ”
"Whew!" This is Tresse's white wolf greeting Karel, and the hunter Tress doesn't seem to be talkative, but he also extends his hand to Karel.
"Would you like some wine?" This is the dwarf Murlet.
Adventurers naturally have a way to distinguish between strengths, from the body surface characteristics, walking posture, mental state, the quality of equipment, collocation, and the pattern of equipment, these details can well show a person's strength, in the eyes of the bronze shield guards, Karel is simply a fierce beast wearing the skin of elves, but he is relatively kind, in the face of such excellent foreign aid, the bronze shield guards are almost laughing. After all, if you can't see the strength of your opponent, you'll long ago be rotten in the wild.
Determined teammates,Everyone signed a team contract,Team contract,It's a kind of soul contract specially made for high-level adventure teams,Its effect is to make several people who sign the contract immune to each other's injuries.,At the same time, you can also know the location and basic situation of the people who make the contract together.,Of course, it depends on the distance.,Close even break a piece of skin to know.,Far away.,You can only distinguish between life and death.。
When the adventurer reaches the elite level, there will be some powerful large-scale attack skills more or less, if there is no contract, it is easy to cause accidental injury, as for why they didn't use it in the troll ruins and Salina, the reason is very simple, except for Salina and Karel, no one can reach the elite level strength, and this contract can't be signed.
After signing the contract, everyone began to resupply, and this trip was expected to spend twenty days to a month in the wilderness, so the supply was very important.
Of course, if there is a mage in the team, then there is no need to worry about food, although the mage's food making skills taste a little simpler, but special treatment is special in special circumstances.
I spent some money and bought an additional food bag, the only advantage of this backpack is that the food will not spoil when you put it in, what you put in it, what you take out, the temperature and taste will not change, and the capacity is super large, a full 32 grids, and the price is super expensive, a full 3200 gold coins.
Stuffing the food packets to the brim, Karel headed for the city gates.
At this time, there were only Thunderhoof and Therisa at the city gate, and it seemed that the others were not busy yet.
"Karel, do you have your own team?" Idle and bored, Serisa began to talk to Karel.
"Own team? Of course. Karel pulled out the Blue Rose badge, "San Diego College, Blue Rose Adventure Group." ”
"Salina's team?" Serisa was stunned for a moment, and it seemed that the two seemed to know each other, "Don't they accept men?" ”
"The problem of selectivity, when meat is better than vegetables, herbivores will also eat meat." Karel stretched out his thumb and pointed to the thunder hoof behind him, at this moment, the old cow was eating a chicken in his left hand and a duck in his right hand, his mouth was greasy, and his bones were clattering.
Looking at Thunderhoof's appearance, Therisa sneered.
"Huh?" Sensing that someone was watching him, Thunderhoof looked over in confusion.
"Thunderhoof, don't eat all the delicious food at first, you can only nibble on dry cakes in the end!" Serissa said with a smile.
"Well, I know—" Thunderhoof muttered a few words, and nibbled on the food in his hand.
"Karel, you must have had another team before, right?" Serisa continued.
"Why do you say that?" Hearing Serisa's question, Karel sat down on a stone and said.
"It's very simple, your equipment is so good, Salina and they are not bad, but it would be nice to have one or two epics for one person. And you, it seems, are covered in epic gear, right? Serisa said.
"yes, you're right, I used to have a team ......"
The two chatted and chatted, and soon, the remaining three people came together, looking at the complete team, Lei Hoof threw the chicken feet and duck paws into his mouth together, chewed them a few times, and then rubbed his greasy big hand on the tree on the side, and announced:
"Now that everyone is ready, let's go!"
