Chapter Seventy-Three: Rushing in the Woods
"Be careful!"
The voice of the chief of the guard, Kyle, suddenly came, and Alan was a little confused, but immediately, he knew why Kyle said that.
A gust of wind suddenly appeared from the wolf corpse not far away, without the slightest pause, quickly and decisively, shooting towards Allen!
Alan only had time to turn sideways slightly, and this very sudden wind blade had already arrived in front of him.
The wind blade approached, "snort!" and cut the hooded cloak on Allen's body in an instant, leaving a small opening, revealing the appearance of the brown light armor inside, fortunately he was able to turn sideways before and dodged the frontal impact of the wind blade, otherwise the consequence would not only be to be cut off the cloak.
A little embarrassed to watch Kyle quickly run forward to deal with the wind wolf who was pretending to be dead, Alan was glad that he was traveling with an escort instead of coming out alone.
Before, he wanted to go to Reef City quickly, thinking that he would go on the road alone, but in the end, because the guards were resolute, he brought them with him, so he was very happy now.
Fortunately, he brought the guards, otherwise it is not certain whether he will be able to return to Reef City smoothly.
The armor of the guards is very strong, and Allen, as the lord, naturally will not be inferior in equipment, so even if the wind blade hits him, it will not bring him much damage, but along the way, he will not only encounter low-level magical beasts such as wind wolves.
The leather armor on his body was given to him by his brother on his birthday, and it was made of the skin of a high-grade Warcraft sand python, which was of high quality, extremely tough, and very resistant to various talent spells of Warcraft, but it was just a dead thing, and when it encountered a difficult Warcraft, just like the wind wolf just now, even if the quality was high, it was only a passive beating.
"Still inexperienced. ”
Watching the guards step forward to carefully inspect each wind wolf corpse, Alan sighed
It's just that because he observed the corpse of the wind wolf and took a few steps forward, he could be attacked by the wind wolf disguised as a corpse, which he had never thought of before.
Moreover, a low-level magical beast like the Wind Wolf can actually disguise itself, or is it this disguise that is not afraid of death?
Whether it's his perception of danger, his way of dealing with Warcraft, and their fighting habits, Eren finds himself in a distinctly rookie state.
He may have been very strong in fighting with people because of his countless trainings, but as the son of an earl, he has never fought against Warcraft, and the knowledge in books is only very shallow in his mind, and he can't remember the actual situation at all!
Compared to the guards, his combat power will only be stronger and not weaker, but compared to the experienced guards, Alan can only be regarded as a rookie in some ways.
However, although Alan is a little depressed about this, he will not complain or the like.
In fact, when he was in Reef City, he went out very little. It's not that there are any special restrictions, it's for everyone.
With the exception of the regular army and knights, most of the inhabitants of the Stars do not leave the city unless there is a last resort, such as a criminal escape.
Therefore, the strangeness of Warcraft, not only Allen, but also the children of ordinary nobles, only after the bloodline awakens, will they have the opportunity to follow the army out of the city to fight.
But the bloodline of the Alan Knight has not awakened, so naturally there is no chance to venture out of the city.
There were only a few corpses of the wind wolf, and it didn't take long for the guards to check them all out, and there were no more accidents.
They covered the entrance to the secret passage again, and then took a short rest, and set off on the path before the secret passage towards the north.
Reef City is located in the northeast corner of the bay, and the forest in front of you is located in the east area of Bay City, there is a path in the woods for people to hurry, and it was from this path that the treasurer and the city defense officer of Bay City rushed to Reef City, and they also walked two different ways with Allen.
This forest is made of aspen wood, which has a straight body and dense branches. This type of tree is common in the southern region of Stellus, both in the wild and indoors.
Aspen wood is soft and strong, making it a good material for making furniture, and most of the furniture used in the homes of residents in the south is made of aspen wood.
However, furniture made of aspen wood smells so good that most nobles don't use it.
Because it is not very far from the coastline, the ground under your feet is quite wet, walking in the woods, and from time to time there are all kinds of strangely shaped insects crawling on your boots, some of them are poisonous, some are harmless, fortunately they can't penetrate the clothes of Allen and the others.
There are no snakes around, but there are always some disgusting red bugs full of burrs on the trees, these insects are called poisonous stings, if you accidentally touch them, they will have a red rash on the body, if not effectively treated, the red rash will gradually spread to the whole body, and eventually cannot be eradicated, and the accompanying itching will stay with the patient until death.
It's terrifying.
Although there were clothes, Alan and the others were careful to avoid this kind of caterpillar that looked quiet, and they were also very cautious and cautious when walking on the forest path.
They did not prepare horses or other means of transportation in advance, but chose to walk.
Because the road was mostly in the forest all the time, there was no need for horses, and besides, they left by secret passages, and there was no way to transport horses.
So they can only walk.
If you change to another road, you can ride a horse, but that road needs to go from the Bay City Gate, and Alan can't go from that side because he doesn't want others to know his tracks.
Of course, this choice is the reason for wanting to be secretive, but the danger of the two paths is actually about the same, and the distance is basically the same.
There are no detours from this trail to Reef City, and if you go from the main road, you can ride a horse, but you make a big detour, and the time difference between the two is not much.
In terms of danger, there are countless poisoning insects in the woods, and there are many demonic beasts, but there are traces of orcs from time to time on the main road, and it is difficult to say which of the two is more dangerous.
So Alan chose this hidden path.
Unhurriedly rushing to the road, it was a little boring to concentrate on two things, and he couldn't help but think of another route.
Bay City is a port city, and Reef City is also a port city, but both cities simply can't take a sea route.
Because of the presence of a large number of reefs.
Why is Reef City called Reef City? Because a long time ago, the sea around Reef City was covered with light and dark stones.
The existence of stones has good and bad effects, and the patriarchs of the Chrissy family have been complacent about the existence of these reefs, because they can perfectly block the sea monsters that come due to the light of the stars, so that they can not survive every time they face a disaster.
But they didn't think about it at all, the existence of the reef was a protective umbrella, but it also restricted the maritime trade of the reef city, so although the former reef city was also a big city of stars, it was not very important.
This situation was not changed until the family suffered a catastrophe and the illegitimate son of Earl Tyron ascended to the throne.
After becoming the lord of Reef City, Tyron began to transform the terrain of the seas around Reef City to allow for maritime business, which has been going on for nearly twenty years now.
The reefs around Reef City had been almost cleared by him, and the newly built port area was mostly able to trade normally, but only around Reef City.
In fact, those reefs are not only found near Reef City, but also in most of the coastline of the Golden Sea.
The same is true of Allen's Bay City, though I don't know if it's lucky or unlucky, the Bay City harbor area is right in a void of the reef.
As a result, Bay City, a small remote city, has become a supply point for nearby pirates and mages.
There are countless reefs in the ocean, both light and dark, and the route from Bay City to Reef City is also full of these things, and ships can take a detour, but if they do, it will only take longer to take the path in front of them.
It would take him three days to reach the reef by trail or main road by land, and if he chose to take a detour at sea, he estimated that it would take him a week.
"The barriers between the two cities have to be broken down as soon as possible, otherwise it will be too inconvenient. ”
While on the way, Alan hadn't forgotten to think about the future of Bay City, and thoughts flashed through his mind from time to time.
"Maybe we can hire mages who can perform earth magic to clean up those reefs in the future?"
"If you are an earth mage, it seems that there is still an earth element mage tower in the five-color tower? I just don't know where it is, go back and ask Raphael. ”
"Most of the mages are short of money in the hidden world, and it is estimated that they will not refuse to be hired by their peers, but I don't know how many gold coins it will cost to hire them, and it should not exceed the water tower......
“......”
Alan was thinking about all kinds of questions while hurrying, and time passed quickly before he knew it.
In one day, except for the first group of wind wolves, the group basically had a smooth journey, but just as the afterglow of the sunset was about to dissipate, they accidentally encountered another kind of demonic beast - the green man.
