For Roddy's silence, Sally sensibly did not pursue it, but silently followed him, looked at the gradually darkening sky and said, "Now... Where are we going?"

"Endel Mine, go through the tunnel and go straight to the city of Houllier. We can't stop tonight, or we'll be a little late at your brother's pace. Roddy pulled the package on his back, took out a piece of bread he bought in Kiger Town, handed it to Sally, pulled out the water bladder plug and poured his saliva, pointed to the mountains in the distance and said, "We are going there tonight, bypassing the sight of the mine guards, crossing the tunnel in the early morning, and we will probably arrive at Hollier City tomorrow afternoon." ”

"Tomorrow afternoon?"

Sally knew how far it would be from Kieg to Hollier, and if Francis had been on Francis's fast ride, it would have taken three days to get around the mountain range and return, but according to Roddy, if she could get to Hollier tomorrow afternoon, she would be two days ahead of him when Francis returned there!

"The tunnels in the mine help us cross the mountains, and I know later that there are ways to get through the mountains as quickly as possible. ”

Roddy took a bite of his own bread, still not looking at Sally, and bowed his head and said, "Don't ask me why I know these things, if you want to live, we have to speed up." ”

"Yes. ”

Sally obediently followed him. For a few days in a row, her adaptability can be said to have made Roddy a little impressed, perhaps because Sally's own physique is not weak, along the way, she has never been unable to walk because of physical exhaustion, and this reminds Roddy of a question that she almost forgot before - how does Sally resist scorpion toxins? Is it because of her thick blood or high resistance?

The attribute of "Descendant of the Nobles" cannot bring any resistance increase, and only high-end PVE or PVP players in the later stage will specially prepare equipment with "Natural Resistance" to deal with special situations, and now Sally is wearing clothes without any attribute additions, it is impossible for her to have resistance against toxins.

However, for these, Roddy understood that Sally herself probably didn't know anything, so he didn't ask much. Cutting off two branches and turning them into sticks, the two of them accelerated towards the mines of the Endel Mountains.

Because of the previous lesson, Luo Di, who chose this path, was not as indifferent in his heart as he was when he first entered the Silent Forest.

In the copy of "Steiro Creek", the battle that should have been foolproof was almost killed because of the Scorpion King's "rebag", and this lesson Roddy will not turn his head and forget. In the same way, looking at the Endel mine, he was ready for all the unexpected.

This road is logically foolproof, and in the eyes of players, in addition to being used for mining, the Endel Mine also has a very famous boss living in it - in the name of the original inhabitants of the "Ripper", this guy is the "Kemera Beast" in many mythological stories.

However, the "Kemera" set in the game is not the mythical powerful monster with the body of a sphin, a snake tail, and a sheep, but is used to refer to a "hybrid creature" in general. There is a tunnel in the Endel Mine that the miners will never go to, which runs through the side of the mountain, but is no longer in use due to the frequent occurrence of miners after a period of operation - the culprit is a powerful Kemera beast.

In Luo Di's impression, the Kemera beast here is not a dungeon BOSS, but belongs to the category of "wild refresh", and the other party's level is level 20, which belongs to the existence that Luo Di can't afford to provoke at all now. It used to be a battleground for the Grand Guild to take turns to charter the field, because the drop of Kemera Beast was one level higher than that of the same level of the dungeon, so under the temptation of this scarce resource, the Endel Mine was always overcrowded.

Roddy has no way to take this kind of high-level boss in the wild, and the reason why he came here is because the tunnel is enough for him to cross the mountains at great speed to reach Hollier City, and a cave he passes along the way is the living area of Kemeramon, but it takes five minutes to walk off the track to find it - in this sense, Roddy will not have any interaction with Kemeramon on this journey.

The Ndel Mines are not quiet at night, not only are they the main sources of iron ore in the Kingdom of Karen, but there is also a huge quarry, where slaves work day and night to deliver minerals to the kingdom, but they get nothing but a bite to eat.

It was full of criminals, homeless beggars, or good citizens thrown in by nobles for various reasons, and Roddy, who had done a mine mission, naturally understood the darkness in it, but now he couldn't care about it at all, so he could only silently take Sally around the watchtower's field of vision, and stopped in a low bush.

It was past midnight, and the two of them finally arrived at the entrance of the mining area at an altitude of more than a kilometer after walking for five hours without stopping, and Roddy did not rush in, but rested with Sally for a while to eat something to replenish his strength.

In the dark, the silent two chewed unpalatable bread, because they both understood that time was pressing, so there was no such relaxed and laughing atmosphere as before. The tinkling sound of a tinkling crack could still be heard in the quarry not far away, and occasionally the whip would burst on something, but most of the time, it was dull and monotonous.

Roddy suddenly asked, "Did your father let you come here?"

"No, my father never mentioned the mines, I only read about them in the historical literature of the Evta Territory. ”

Sally gently rubbed her sore calves and ankles, her dyed black hair hung down, she seemed to really have some manliness after her disguise, she didn't complain all the way, and she didn't slow down Roddy's speed at all, her voice at this time seemed a little tired, but it also revealed a little caution.

"If I were your father, I wouldn't have let you come here to see it," Roddy felt that he was almost rested, and picked up his horned bow, as if remembering something, as if to say to himself: "The eminent man of a territory, the leader, the protector of the people, this is the definition of nobility... Am I right?"

Sally frowned and looked at Roddy, suddenly feeling that his tone was a little unfamiliar, but nodded anyway.

"The people here... It should be the opposite of 'aristocracy', they are the oppressed, the liberty, the untouchables. The highest level of a territory is your world, and here, there is another world. ”

Roddy's words were flat, and he thought of the rotten noble lords of later generations... I remembered the "vampires" in the kingdom who only cared about profit after being torn apart, regardless of the suffering of the people. Such aristocrats have encroached on almost the entire ruling class of the kingdom, and they are like a swarm of moths, gnawing at the country's originally solid foundations, and finally vulnerable.

Exploitation of profits, ruthlessness.

Every lord has such a side, and Sally actually understands this herself, but such a system has long been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people for a hundred years, and she has never felt that there is anything unreasonable about such a system since she was born. However, Roddy's words also touched her heart slightly... Did the class of noble lords really fulfill their obligations, and did they assume their responsibilities?

It was a contract society, where the lords were responsible for protecting their subjects and sheltering their lives, and in return, the lords were paid taxes and served in the military - but then again, when exploitation was severe, Sally knew... A lot of people don't really live as well as a dog.

"I'm talking a bit too much nonsense. Roddy sensed that he was a little out of shape, thinking that the girl next to him might be an important person in turning the situation around, he restrained his emotions, pointed to the cave that could already be seen in the distance, and said: "It's easy to sneak in, once you see the overseer, hide, you take this necklace, use it in case of emergency, there is a minute of stealth time." ”

Sally silently took the necklace, but her mind was still echoing with Roddy's words just now, for a girl who had received her father's traditional aristocratic education since she was a child, she had never heard this kind of remarks, saying that values were not impacted, but there would still be a shock in her heart, because these words were spoken by Roddy.

Now Roddy has become an extremely special existence in Sally's heart - as for how special it is, maybe even she herself may not be able to say.

Roddy didn't talk nonsense, and with a large pile of equipment on his back, he took Sally to break into the extremely poorly guarded mining area, skillfully bypassing the overseers and miners, and entering the mine in the mountain.

The journey seemed to go unusually well, Sally didn't use the necklace to sneak around, and Roddy didn't shoot the guards with a bow and arrow for fear of being discovered. Approaching the dark, dimly lit cavern, the two of them could at first hear the echoes of countless pickaxes and stones clashing, but as Roddy dodged left and right through the constant forks in the road, and after half an hour of digging into the mine, the banging finally faded away.

The smell in the air was a little weird, a little damp and cold, and Sally thought she was timid, but at this time she still kept up with Roddy's footsteps, and even unconsciously distanced herself from him... It's also closer than before.

Roddy lit a torch and walked through the wide, empty tunnel, making sure that the features were the same as he remembered, and then walked over to a minecart covered in cobwebs and dust, and waved at Sally.

"We, we're going to sit here?"

In the dim light, Sally could see that in front of Roddy was a railcar used to transport ore - two railroad tracks underneath the car, and it seemed that the miners were using this railcar to improve the efficiency of mining and transporting ore, but now it seemed that Roddy was going to use it as a means of transportation.

"Just follow me. ”

Roddy jumped into the car without saying a word, and after confirming that the thing had a braking system as he remembered, he put everything he was carrying, and then reached out and pulled Sally to sit up.

"How does it move?"

Confused, Sally was sitting on something like this for the first time, and she wanted to say something, but she saw Roddy jump out of the car, and then ran to the back and began to push forward - Sally's eyes turned to the front of the car... The track that stretched out in the darkness suddenly gave her an ominous premonition...

"It won't be—"

Before she could finish her sentence, she was interrupted by the sudden sound of metal grinding, and Roddy thrust the wooden minecart with the strength of his arms, and began to run slowly into the darkness against it.

The creaking of the metal wheels against the rails began to echo through the tunnel, and he silently counted his steps, then leaped to his feet as he took the twentieth step and jumped onto the minecart.
