Chapter 61: The Ship
When Charles woke up, he smelled the smell of sausage.
Born in the South, Elizabeth did not like wheat and oats very much, preferring to eat rice grown in the South.
At this point, Charles's tastes are the same as hers.
It's just that no one will transport rice to the north to sell it all the way, and only the Big Tree Foot Hotel, which is a stronghold of the elves, will spend a high freight to transport some hometown food to the elves to relieve their homesickness.
This time, Elizabeth brought some food from the south such as rice, sausages and dried fruits from the hotel.
In the past few days in Linhai, Elizabeth would boil a pot of porridge early every morning, and then chop some sausages and cook them together.
Then every morning Charles had to grab food with Elizabeth.
While eating breakfast, Charles asked, "Sister, where are we going?"
Elizabeth pointed to the screen-like icecrown mountains in the north and said, "We're going to Weilong Mountain." ”
Charles scratched his head, he had recently made up some knowledge of the surrounding geography, but he had never heard of this place.
"It's normal that you don't know. Elizabeth said to Charles, "because your family never deals with them, and the others who deal with them are at least the marquis and earl." And they keep a very low profile, rarely appearing in public. ”
At this time, Charles had a feeling in his heart that he could clear the level after stepping there, and such an organization is generally hidden in the final big boss.
Then Elizabeth suddenly remembered something, and said to Charles with a wicked smile: "When you go there, be mentally prepared. ”
After breakfast, Elizabeth led Charles to the creek and stopped in front of a large tree about a meter in diameter.
Elizabeth took out her twin knives and told Charles to go and catch two slimes nearby.
A huge blue wind blade was generated from the body of the snowy blade, and then Elizabeth waved her hand, and the crown of the big tree was separated from the trunk, leaving only a section of the trunk about three meters on the ground.
The branches were cut off by Elizabeth's twin knives, then sawdust, and ten minutes later the trunk of the tree was sliced into a slender boat.
Charles, who came back from catching the slime, kept a smile and watched the whole process.
For most of the next half hour, Elizabeth carefully carved several grooves in the bottom of the wooden ship. Then she put some low-quality magic core powder into Charles's freshly cooked slime glue, stirred it well, and poured it into the groove of the magic circle at the bottom of the wooden boat.
Elizabeth was also teaching Charles, "Although the slime glue does not contain mana, its mana resistance is moderate, and the mana loss generated when the mana flows in it is still within an acceptable range. But it has a disadvantage, which is that the strength is too low. However, on the whole, it can still be used as a material for a temporary magic array. ”
It didn't take long for a wooden boat nearly three meters long and just wide enough for Charles to sit in it was ready.
After putting the wooden boat in the creek, Elizabeth had Charles sit in the bow and herself in the stern.
When she activated the magic circle at the bottom of the boat, the wooden boat shot up the river like an arrow.
It's just that Elizabeth's piloting skills don't seem to be very good, and as soon as the wooden boat goes out, it almost crashes into the bank of the crooked creek. Less than half a meter from the riverbank, the magic array under the bow activated, and the magic array used as a side thruster pointed the bow towards the middle of the river.
Before Charles, who had almost jumped off the bow of the boat, could breathe a sigh of relief, the wooden boat rushed straight towards the shore on the other side.
At this time, Charles was so nervous that his heart was about to jump out of his throat, and his whole body was tense, ready to jump ship at any time to escape.
"Sister!" Charles cried out, "Can you drive slower!"
I don't know how many times I almost hit the shore, but at the last moment, the wooden boat turned and was safe again.
"What are you afraid of. Elizabeth said to Charles, "There's nothing in the water anyway." ”
Get...... Retribution is coming.
After rampage in the creek for some distance, the wooden boat sailed into a river nearly 100 meters wide. Elizabeth drove the wooden boat north to the Icecrown Mountains, the source of the river.
Today's weather is good, cloudless and visibility is good.
On the wider river, Charles was stunned by the magnificent scenery in front of him.
The towering Icecrown Mountains stand like a high wall to the north, with no end in sight on the east and west sides. The top of the mountain range is covered with snow all year round, as if the mountain is wearing a white hat.
In his last life, Charles had a college classmate who went to Africa to do engineering, and he went to Mount Kilimanjaro on his sabbatical. The Kilimanjaro shot in the plains below the mountain that he posted in his circle of friends is like Charles now looking at the Icecrown Mountains. It's just that Kilimanjaro is a mountain that stands on the plains, while the Icecrown is a mountain range that stretches endlessly.
Wooden boats now move on the calm river at a speed similar to that of an electric bicycle, and from time to time fish leap out of the water.
"Hold on and be careful not to fall into the water. Elizabeth instructed Charles.
Charles looked back to find that she had a longbow made of wood from an unknown tree in one hand and an arrow in the other.
I saw Elizabeth stretch her bow and arrows, and in the next second, a sharp arrow wrapped in green magical light shot into the water dozens of meters away in front of them. And then nothing happened there except for a ripple.
Just as the wooden boat approached the place where the arrow entered the water, a wave suddenly broke out on the water.
Charles saw a large group of palm-sized, multicolored fish besieging an unidentified creature about the size of a wooden boat, bound up by green vines.
Elizabeth crouched down, stuck an arrow into a fish, and threw it in front of Charles.
The hapless fish was pierced by an arrow through the center of its body, nailed to the bow of the ship, and was constantly fluttering. Under the sunlight, the scales on its back reflect colorful light. Its large, closed mouth was covered with a row of sharp fangs.
Charles didn't stupidly test the fish's teeth with his fingers, just now he saw the unknown creature under the water being bitten off a piece of meat by these small fish.
Elizabeth breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that Charles was not stupid, and she introduced: "This is the multicolored sawtooth carp, which is one of the sawtooth carp. When an animal in the water is injured and bleeding, they will attack the animal with the smell of blood. ”
Then Charles asked, "And what was that one in the water just now?"
"Probably some kind of water monkey. "They would pull animals swimming on the surface of the water and drown them and eat them." They have also been recorded overturning ships and pulling passengers overboard. ”
As time passed, the boat got closer and closer to the foothills of the Icecrown Mountains.
At dusk, the sunset gilts the peaks with a brilliant golden hue.
A short time later, a huge rock appeared on the river's edge, and Elizabeth steered the wooden boat towards the rock.
