Chapter 8: The Countryside of the Tara Khan
"There are still a lot of tasks that can be taken on by Firuman Village. Sleepless sat on the bed in the hotel, holding a thin book in his hand, and as he wrote it with charcoal, he said, "Maybe we should ask if anyone would like to come here on a mission." ”
"I'm afraid it's not a show, it's not easy to walk along the way. "Walking through the grassland to the village of Kalipura has already made many people feel that it is too hard. If you go through the forest again...... Anyway, if it were me, I wouldn't have considered doing it without a guide. ”
"The system hasn't updated the map yet, it's really inconvenient!" Sleepless sighed.
This is the biggest problem they are currently encountering, because there is no electronic map system, so when the travelers are away, they can only rely on simple methods to determine the general direction. Although they were able to determine which side of the castle was, they could not determine the distance between themselves and the castle. Even if you have a hand-drawn paper map, you can only determine your approximate location, which is not too helpful.
The traveler is not so easy to do, although many of the traversers have wilderness survival skills, but if you want to really not get lost in the wilderness, you need to learn the advanced skill "guide" on the basis of survival in the wilderness. When I first played the game, except for a very small number of players, the vast majority of players didn't invest much experience in "survival in the wild" at all, let alone advanced it.
No matter how much experience you have, you should also invest in those practical skills. Even people who like to wander around, they need skills such as collecting herbs and mining that can give them practical benefits, and guide skills can only keep players from getting lost in some natural mazes. Even if you don't know how to do it in the early days and practice this skill in a daze, most of them will choose to wash it off when they are reincarnated to recycle the experience - among the traversers of the "Reckless Crossing the Earth" guild, there is really not even a novice in the true sense of the word who has not been reincarnated.
The least experienced among them have all been reincarnated at least once. There is only one of these traversers who has the "guide" skill, and that is Ah Groove.
During this time, Ah Trough often took everyone out to hunt. Relying on the skills of the guide, he can lead the team to go far away, walk out for three or four days in one breath on the grassland where there is no sign at all, and then come back safely and soundly, without worrying about getting lost.
In fact, Panda originally wanted to ask him to join the adventure party to Tarakhan City, but he led the team out again.
According to him, this time he plans to go to the western part of the steppe to have a look. If the map of this world is the same as in the game, the western part of the steppe should be the empire, the most powerful country on the continent. In the original game's plot, the empire launched a large-scale war of conquest, which opened the prelude to troubled times.
Of course, their task is not to find any benefits, he just wants to determine the current situation of the empire, whether it has begun to rearm for war, that's all.
But even if it's just this small goal, it's not so easy to achieve. Several of the skilled flyers in the guild followed him, and they didn't know if they could detect some valuable information and come back.
Thinking of this, Sleepless couldn't help but sigh, looking out of the window, he saw the panda practicing his fists and kicks in the backyard of the hotel.
"Brother Panda never seems to be tired. He couldn't help but say, "After a day, everyone is tired, he still has the spirit to practice martial arts, what an iron man!"
"Don't compare him to us, he's different from us. Zhen Nian sighed and lay down on his bed, "The beds in this hotel are much better than those in Kalipura Village, and they deserve to be 'hinterland'. ”
"If you go to the royal capital, the bed in the hotel is even better. ”
"Is it good to have our castle room?"
"I'm afraid not, after all, most of our beds are Simmons'. ”
True Remnant Nian laughed twice, but sighed again.
"I kind of miss the bed in my room. ”
"It's only been a few days since I've been out......"
"You don't know, my room is furnished like a real bedroom. Back in my room, I felt like I was back on earth. The red-robed mage, who was as fiery as fire, looked gloomy, "Even if it's just 'like'...... That's good!"
Sleepless didn't say anything, silently sorting out the information.
(Who wouldn't want to go back if they could?)
His eyes drooped, obscuring his melancholy gaze.
(Even if it's a tough guy like Panda's steel, it's probably like this...... )
The next day, the weather was nice and sunny.
Because the trek in the past few days was too hard, the traversers slept a little and slept until eight or nine o'clock in the morning.
Starting from Firuman Village, the road stretches to the south, and there is a village about ten to fifteen miles, and there are many villages along the way.
They were not in a hurry, but when they came to a village, they went in and asked the villagers if they had any wagons for rent, and when it was getting dark, they finally found a village with wagons for rent.
An elderly adventurer retired, returned to his hometown, bought a horse-drawn carriage, and started a business of delivering and carrying passengers in the countryside.
When he heard that someone was asking for a chariot, he volunteered to come forward, saying that if he was given a gold coin, he could take them anywhere in the county of Tarakhan - of course, the employer was responsible for the food and lodging along the way, and if there was an accident that caused the loss of the horse or the cart, the employer would also need to compensate the employer.
There is no opinion on this condition. Xingzhao also circled the retired adventurer Landius a few times curiously, his eyes always on the knees of his legs.
"What do you see on his knees?" her brother Jian Thirteen asked curiously as the old adventurer went to pack up the carriage and prepare for tomorrow's departure.
"Didn't you always say, 'I used to be an adventurer, until I was hit by an arrow in the knee?' I think it was probably because he was shot in the knee that he retired as an adventurer and became a coachman. Xingzhao said eloquently.
Jian Thirteen couldn't cry or laugh: "It's just a joke, it's just a joke!"
"Jokes should have a source. ”
"Of course there is a provenance, it seems to be a game ......"
"If in that game, adventurers can retire because of an arrow in the knee, why is it impossible for Landius?" said Hoshiteru seriously, "just because everyone is not in the same game, you can't completely dismiss that possibility, right?" ”
Sword Thirteen was speechless by her, was silent for a while, and simply ran to ask Landius directly.
"Arrow in the knee?" laughed the retired old adventurer, "how do you know? ”
Jian Thirteen was dumbfounded, and there was nothing else to say except to secretly curse the game designers of "New World" for being too lazy.
