Chapter 183: Flying Path

By the time they reached their destination, the fog had completely cleared, and the woods were noticeably denser than before, and the ground was relatively gentle, with spruce trees standing like spears on both sides of the road, in addition to the snow-covered pine trees.

As he got closer, Draenor noticed the difference in the road, it was not like the dirt road he had seen before, but a road made of stone slabs. Although it may not seem obvious, each slab seems to be tilted downward and connected to each other.

Looking along the stone pavement to one end, the road in the distance had formed a hill, and it had been sloping at an angle and stretched endlessly farther away.

"This is the flying road, the most characteristic traffic road in the realm of Nagseus." Jett explained to the crowd, still with a hint of heaviness in his tone.

"It's an artificial ramp built at a very precise angle, and it's the only one-way road for Abel. Generally speaking, it is a bit difficult to understand that following the slope will lead to some important destinations, and after following the track to reach the destination, you have to change the road to get back to the starting point, right? ”

Cooper said, rubbing his hands together and walking to the side of the "flyway", taking a rough gauge of his fingers on the mound of earth that supported the stone-paved road, and then continued:

"It's not particularly obvious, it's probably tilted two or three degrees...... Since the north-central Abel region is full of high mountains, they simply came up with such a simple and crude way to improve the efficiency of one-way transportation. Although the craftsmanship is still a little flawed, it is still one of the few inventions of the Licos. ”

Draenor was dumbfounded, not surprised by the complexity of the project, but not by the fact that the Licos of Abel would be so rigid.

If you want to build a one-way transportation road, why not try a transportation mode such as a ropeway? If there was a new technology in Vlaktu, they would even invent some kind of single-route flying vehicle, which would simply crash towards the transport site from the beginning of departure, and there would be no need for maintenance, which would be fast and trouble-free.

"I've been observing this flyway for a long time, which is why Sado and I have been moving around here before, not just by signposting, but also by the traffic to confirm the date. Minerals and timber are transported from Monday to Thursday, and grain, dairy products and other commodities are transported from Friday to Saturday......"

Jett wrenched his finger and said to the group, Draenor couldn't imagine how long it would take her to figure out the patterns. Sunday was the next day, and as the easiest day of the week, he was sure he had guessed what was being transported that day.

"And Sunday is all about luxury and booze, isn't it?" He asked.

"Not exactly." Jett shook her head, this time she finally showed a smile that wasn't too forced, "And the criminals." ”

Having said that, the night he was imprisoned in the dungeon seemed to have happened to be Sunday night, and it seemed that the Lycos of Abel liked to judge the prisoners on Sunday. This kind of behavior is more of a pastime in their eyes, but for those criminals, it is likely to leave a shadow on Sunday for the rest of their lives, and of course, death row prisoners are a different matter.

"Looks like you've been observing for a long time, so why do you have to pay so much attention to this flyway?"

"Yes, it is very necessary. Imagine what kind of places in Nagseus would need to build such cumbersome traffic roads to speed up the efficiency of the transportation of goods? Jett said as if he were a teacher's question, as if trying to elicit the answer from the mouths of the crowd.

"Kerton?" Draenor wasn't sure if that was the right answer, but he didn't have any other place names on his mind.

"That's right, the richest of the few border towns of Nagseus, Kerdon." Jett replied with a satisfied chin of relief.

"Kerton is the largest and most prosperous city in the country, with no ranches or farms in the vicinity, and is sustained by supplies transported from countless airways. In addition to the military, the economy is also very important to the people there, but only those shops that have received royal approval will be able to appear in the city of Delier, which is where we will go later. ”

"Mainly, we'll get to Kerton if we follow this flyway, right?" Draenor sensed something was wrong with the logic contained in Jett's words, and quickly pulled the topic back.

"Theoretically, but I'm sure you've guessed that I can't just think of that, right?"

Jett's way of speaking seemed to have changed, I don't know if it was because Sado's departure had hit her too hard, the logic of her speech jumped fast, and she didn't like to say it all at once, as if she had to hear Draenor's answer.

"According to your experience, I believe that we have figured out the path and law of the convoy's activities, which means that we don't need to measure the length of this road with our legs, we just need to wait here for a while, and then find a way to let the passing convoy give us a ride."

He simply stopped answering questions bit by bit, but said all the possibilities he could think of in one breath.

I saw Jett pull forward with the thin sword at his waist, and picked a stone that was flat enough to sit down.

"And the waiting time will not be too long, it seems that it is still seven or eight o'clock, and the second convoy will come soon in the morning."

Since Jett had quieted down, everyone had simply found a place to rest. But Delano could only paced back and forth in the neighborhood, he seemed to forget about the cold and hunger, and for the first time the feeling of idleness panicked him.

After about ten seconds, he finally found the source of the panic and pulled Viklico to his side.

"Don't pull and pull, Jeanne is here!" Vikily looked back at Jeanne's back, shook off Draenor's arm in annoyance, and glanced at him with a strange expression.

"No kidding, do you think it's possible for us to escape the Yazira and settle in Kerdon like a normal man?" He was a little skeptical of his decision, but Vikli was over a hundred years old after all, and she was more experienced than herself in many ways.

"Don't make a decision if you're not sure, but now that it's here, I can only believe it's the best option. We can't leave Cooper behind and leave him alone heading south back to Kadewa, can we? And the closest thing to us is the west coast, and you know that Yazra's warship is parked there now, and it would be a death to get on the ship and go to Vlaktu. Staying in Kerton for the time being, that's all there is to it. ”

Vikily shrugged, and it looked like she hadn't thought of anything better.

"Not to mention the Azra, we're about to enter another group of Lycos. Based on previous experiences at Snowway, I'm afraid the inhabitants of Nagseus aren't fuel-efficient lamps either. ”

After a moment of silence, Viklico seemed to see something behind Draenor, but quickly shifted her gaze to him, "Now we can only take one step at a time, let's pack up our things first and leave a good impression on others." ”

Draenor reacted, and looked back along the flyway, where the sunlight was already covering the entire road. And not far away, on the stone road, a carriage with a kerosene lamp was heading this way.
