Volume 2 Thousands of Worlds and Complete Continents Chapter 7 What a big cow brother
"Boy, boy! Wake up, it's time for us to hit the road. ”
Chen Yuan was a little vaguely shaken awake by Willis, yawned, picked up the shield beside him and walked out of the cabin slowly.
The experience of seasickness is indeed very bad, which also makes Chen Yuan's spirit more or less sluggish.
On deck, the members of the caravan were already loading and unloading the rest of the cargo, and after Drunée had delivered thirty percent of the cargo, the remaining seventy percent would be used for deliveries in the Immortal Fortress.
The 'green yak' walked over the wooden planks hanging from the side of the hull, and the rest of the journey was by land, judging from the speed of the caravan's movements, Chen Yuan could reach the immortal fortress in about five days.
Don't think that the caravan is slow on land, in fact, the caravan's speed by land is not as fast as the speedboats enchanted on the river, but in terms of the speed and endurance of the mounts, it is only a little slower.
The location of the 'three forks' does not mean that the river is divided into three branches, but refers to a special geographical location, at which one can go down to the Valoran Plain over the mountain valley and another river basin, and up to the port of Tiejian Mountain on the back of the two mountains, and as for the immortal fortress, it is only necessary to follow the river all the way down diagonally.
After some exchange, old Willis said goodbye to the captain and began to direct the caravan forward.
Chen Yuan sat down in the carriage after receiving a small barrel of ale wine, although he couldn't put the 'Eternal Ice Crystal' in for a long time, but it was okay to soak it for a little time.
'Hiccup'
After taking a sip, the cold wine crossed his throat, and a subtle magic spread in Chen Yuan's body, and Chen Yuan, who was satisfied, couldn't help but hum a song in a low voice.
The situation on the way was mentioned by old Willis, because it was already located in the hinterland of Noxus, and walking along the river, so there was practically no danger, and only occasionally encountered one or two wild beasts, so the caravan was relatively relaxed.
Chen Yuan doesn't need to be too vigilant, it would be better to have some wine and look at the scenery along the way at this time.
'Runeterra: Immortal Citadel has been added to the map'
"Hey, that's so efficient."
Chen Yuan still remembered that when he first turned on the system, the coverage area of map scanning was even only one-third the size of the city of griffins, and even the punctuation points to open a large area of vision around him had to be activated by Chen Yuan himself.
However, since the rapid increase of the adventure level and the opening of the second module, the system's ability to detect the surrounding geographical situation has been greatly improved, and now, it can actually illuminate the map of the Immortal Fortress through a large mountain range in the case of targeted straight line exploration.
Even the task has become just need to go to the location to 'check in', which means that Chen Yuan only needs to step within the range of this map point to complete the task.
"Let me see, um, bigger, bigger, clear..."
Chen Yuan's fingers dotted in front of him, and he slowly expanded the map dots marked with the Immortal Fortress, and after a while, the entire architectural composition of the Immortal Fortress was displayed in front of Chen Yuan's eyes.
"Are there any related people marked..."
The map clearly shows that there are now no less than ten heroes who have had a fateful connection with the Immortal Fortress alone, among which the Iron Man Maude Caesar's interwoven lines are the darkest.
On the left side of the Fate Intertwined Characters column, a new achievement bar caught Chen Yuan's attention.
After taking a closer look, Chen Yuan understood that this was a small benefit that would only appear in the Alternate Plane, and that he could get a certain amount of points after completing the corresponding achievement, and now the first item of the Immortal Fortress achievement had already shown the completion status.
'Achievements, Immortal Fortress, Discover the Immortal Citadel Map Point' – Completed
"Hey, this city, is there still an underground layer..."As the map unfolded, Chen Yuan found that the city seemed to be a little unsimple.
In the introduction of the system map, the common characteristics of many cities under the jurisdiction of Noxus are: solemn architectural style, narrow and claustrophobic streets, eaves with wall stacks, and majestic city gates.
As a result, Noxian cities emphasize imperial power and control, and are well suited for defensive warfare - any enemy who tries to take a Noxian city by force will face stubborn resistance, as even the most modest dwellings can be built like a fortress. In the gradual rebuilding of the city, the streets of the Immortal Fortress have become high and low, and some areas are now below the surface, and few people dare to walk on these streets after dark without guards.
"It's amazing, it's a spiked turtleshell-shaped land and underground fortress, and it's somewhat similar to the style of Griffon City..."
Closing the presentation of the complex on the map, Chen Yuan's expectations for the capital of Noxus were raised by one point.
Since he came to this world, his first choice has always been Noxus, and the secondary reason is that it is close enough, after all, there are only twenty days of activity time, and the main reason is that Noxus is still martial, and it is convenient to make a few strokes and at the same time the probability of improving his own strength is extremely high!
This can be seen from the description of the Noxian Empire in the continental chronicles obtained by Chen Yuan:
... In the eyes of outsiders, it is self-respecting, bloody and brutal, and insatiable, but for those who see through its belligerent exterior, the social atmosphere here is actually unusually inclusive. All the strengths and talents of the people will be respected and nurtured... They captured an ancient city and built it into what it is now the center of the empire. At that time, Noxus faced threats from all sides... This history of survival has made Noxians proud in their bones, and therefore values strength over everything. Of course, power can manifest itself in many different forms. Regardless of social affiliation, background, homeland, and personal wealth, anyone can gain power, status, and respect in Noxus, as long as they are able to demonstrate the necessary abilities.
What does this mean?
This means that Chen Yuan's force, knowledge, curiosities, and even knowledge can or have a high probability of obtaining something unique in this world as a reward.
It could be a new power system, or a certain piece of 'equipment' that I had seen countless times in my previous life, or it could be some extremely valuable 'material', such as the 'Eternal Ice Crystal' in Chen Yuan's inventory now.
These are Chen Yuan's pursuits to go to the heterotopic plane this time, not to lose money, and to earn the best blood, in order to accumulate resources.
The increase in combat power after the 'mentor level' has obviously stepped into a larger space, and Chen Yuan needs to try his best to make up for the big problem of his own rapid improvement and lack of accumulation.
"Noxians revere power above all else, and of course, there is more than one form of power."
The comments of the empire in front of him flashed in his mind again, and Chen Yuan was sometimes thinking about the previous side quest.
Undoubtedly, even if he doesn't know the specific details, it is not difficult for Chen Yuan to guess that the bull head must have successfully escaped, which is not difficult to guess from the original painting of the hero and even some details.
But now the problem that Chen Yuan needs to face is that the plot will remain largely unchanged to help the bull head escape, but the easier escape than the original may cause some accidents, and this also means that Chen Yuan will face Noxus as his enemy; And to prevent the bull head from escaping, the plot is reversed 180 degrees, and no one knows the consequences of reversing the plot, Chen Yuan is also experiencing it for the first time, and it is conservatively estimated that the risk will not be low, and nine times out of ten he will face Brother Niu's WQ second company.
Enemy of Noxus... I'm sorry, Chen Yuan feels that he can't live more than one chapter, this is not a question of whether he can win the fight at all, but a question of what kind of death Chen Yuan has.
With the organization of 'Black Rose', and the fact that it is someone else's territory, Chen Yuan will not feel that he can hide it if he lets go of Brother Niu, and to stop Brother Niu, he is not very sure, you must know that the plot is returning, and Chen Yuan feels that he may not be able to pull himself out of the wall when he really fights, at most a tie.
So whichever side you choose, it doesn't seem like a good choice...
"Ahh Headache. The brain is trembling..."Chen Yuan didn't find a solution after holding his forehead for a while, so he simply cut off the relevant thoughts first.
It's not the first time I've had a headache, so let's just take it one step at a time.
It's a pity that I didn't bring a computer with me to cross, otherwise Chen Yuan would have to make up for the relevant hero storyline, which is too torturous.
"Bastards, don't be lazy, get two whips, let's go quickly, if you can't get to the town in front before dark, you can all go feed the blood mosquitoes."
"Oh!!"
As soon as they heard the 'threat' of old Willis, everyone could only come back to their senses from their respective chats and bragging, and shouted and urged the mounts to move forward quickly, the wild at this time of year is the growth period of the first blood mosquitoes of the year, sleep in the wild and get up tomorrow morning to keep a bag, even if it is a tent.
Chen Yuan must complain about this point.
The tents in this world are not fully enclosed, and they still have to face mosquito harassment in the wild.
.....
"Here we are."
"Once the castle of the Lords of Terror, the first city captured by the Noxians, the Immortal Fortress."
"Well, look at your expression, boy, you're the first time you've come to the royal capital of Noxus, right?"
"That's right. It's magnificent. ”
"This is one of the few magnificent castles that can be compared to the ancient Shurima royal city."
Old Willis made no secret of his admiration for his native castle, and his pride in being a Noxian exuded.
"Go in, don't talk when you go through the security check at the city gate, leave it to me to solve it."
"Hmm."
Chen Yuan is a foreigner, so he naturally does not have the identity certificate of the Noxus region, but with old Willis here, he should not be interrogated too much, and it is inevitable to pay a little price.
After secretly handing over two silver coins, Old Willis's caravan was released, and the defenders at the city gate relied on this item to catch a lot of oil and water behind their backs, and naturally they would not break the rules because of Chen Yuan, an outsider who suddenly appeared.
