Chapter 19: The Way Home
"Bang!"
The hatch was quickly pushed open, and a sailor, pale, panicked, burst in. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
"A few wizards, the sea...... There's a big, big monster in the sea......" He was out of breath, and it seemed that he was frightened.
"Panic, talk slowly!" A wizard apprentice said impatiently, sleepy-eyed.
The apprentices, led by the calmed sailors, came out of the cabin and went out to the deck to look into the distance, regardless of whether it was raining or not.
"Shhh
Everyone gasped, and even Ning Que was a little shocked.
A huge fish like a mountain of unknown size was lying on the path of the ship, with sea-blue smooth skin, and its body from left to right could not be seen at a glance, just like the first time he saw the stars in the Jiuding Chronicle.
A column of water erupted from his back, and the scattered water droplets turned into a torrential rain, covering a radius of I don't know how many kilometers.
"Such a large life form is either gifted, or the life level is extremely high, the wizard world is too terrifying, there are such things in such a barren place!"
"It's an island whale!" A wizard apprentice had never seen a description of this creature, "Everyone, be careful, don't provoke it, the island whale has a gentle personality, and there is no precedent for actively attacking other creatures!" When he finishes draining, he will sink! ”
This island whale is still a juvenile, and a truly adult island whale will no longer drain water and will always be afloat, allowing its back to become a habitat for creatures.
After calming the sailors with weak hands and feet, the apprentices entered the cabin to rest and wait quietly!
The whale drained for three days and three nights, and on that night, the downpour finally stopped, and after another violent shaking, the sea calmed down.
Everyone let out a long breath, feeling like they were living after a catastrophe, and started the ship that had been docked for three days, and continued to move in the direction of Jidong Island.
......
Two months later.
When the sun is about to set, the big ship lowers its sails and docks in a bustling port. Many people dressed in aristocratic attire waited respectfully, waiting for the great wizard to come out.
"It's here, the south coast of the Far East Island!" Ning Que stood on the deck and looked down, there were a large number of ships densely docked in the distance, and a large number of dock workers were carrying and loading various goods back and forth.
This voyage was a full month longer than the last trip to College Island, not to the deserted West Coast, but to the South Coast, which is close to a large number of people.
Greeted by respectful nobles, in the awe-inspiring gaze of ordinary commoners, several wizard apprentices disembarked arrogantly, even the apprentices, their status was higher than the so-called nobles.
"Aren't seniors really taking a break here? Anyway, there is time, so you don't have to rush to complete the task! An apprentice asked flatteringly.
During the three months on the ship, Ning Que showed his hands a little, convinced the group of people, and made him a lot less troublesome.
"No need, the task is important, you ask them to prepare a fast horse and a map of the Far East Island for me, it's okay if you don't have a complete map, as long as you clearly point out the route to several countries in the northeast!" Ning Que said expressionlessly.
"Yes!" The apprentice nodded, turned to the fat-headed and big-eared nobles around him, and shouted, "Hear me, my senior wants a fast horse and a map route!" Hurry up and prepare! ”
Several nobles immediately nodded and went down.
An hour later.
Ning Que rode on a high-headed horse, looked down at the map he had just arrived in his hand, and galloped out of the bustling Haicheng. The city behind him was barely visible, only the smoke of the cooking and the faint astringent sea breeze blowing through it.
This parchment map is very detailed, and at first glance it was obtained at a great cost, and the small characters on it mark all the important cities of a country, and draw the roads that major cities must pass through with thin lines.
There are also large expanses of red dangerous deserts, mountains, forests. The island is surrounded by uninhabited waters.
"I'm at the wharf due south, and I'm going to the northeast of the island, Angamos, passing through six countries, and it's going to take more than five or six months to catch up non-stop, not to mention that this unicorn can hold on, and I can't sleep endlessly! Forget it, it doesn't matter anyway! ”
Ning Que chose the route, put away the map, and began to hurry with a clip on the horse's belly.
......
A month later.
The sun is about to go down in the west. On the mountain path, horses' hooves sounded, and a thin horse was moving forward.
Ning Que's face in the black robe loomed, with nothing on his body, clean and neat.
"It's almost time to get to the city, hurry up and find some supplies and get some rest!"
After galloping for many days, even this good unicorn could not hold on, and the tall and strong horse became thin because of the lack of rest, and the speed of galloping decreased significantly.
Slowing down the speed of the horse, they followed the main road, and after half an hour, the surrounding area began to be crowded, and continued onwards, until finally they came to the small city before the sun set and closed the city gates.
After jumping off the horse, releasing the horse that had been hunched on him for a month, he slowly walked into the city gates.
A casual glance reveals that this small town is more than a star and a half worse than that dock city, and there are very few pedestrians on the streets.
"Find a place to stay for a day, and then buy a fast horse!" After a month of running around, there was only a small amount of rest, and Ning Que's physical fitness was a little tired.
Find a place that resembles a tavern and push the door to enter.
The strong smell of sweat and alcohol in it was so strong that Ning Que almost vomited out, and the noisy, chaotic sound continued to reach his ears, and he didn't know where it was worse than the bars on the earth.
"Sir, several!" A bartender stepped forward and asked.
"One, find me a place to rest first, and then come in with a barbecue!" Ning Que covered his nose and said.
Led by the bartender to the second floor, the soundproofing is good, and the noise is no longer audible.
Throwing away a few gold coins, he waved him away, "After the barbecue is served, go and buy me a horse, and reward you with the rest, not enough to make up for it!" ”
More than ten minutes passed, Ning Que was eating barbecue, and he missed Chinese food a little.
"It would be nice to save time in such a hurry! The world is so big, find a way to study a flying sorcery! ”
......
After resting for the night, Ning Que set out on the journey again.
Follow the direction pointed on the map, trek through mountains and rivers, and only take a break when passing through major cities, and spend more time sleeping in the wilderness.
It took nearly six months to cross the mountains, cross the long river, get out of the jungle, pass through the grasslands, deserts, and hilly areas, and kill more than a dozen horses all the way, and it took nearly six months to finally reach the birthplace, the city of Angmus. (To be continued.) )
