Chapter 5: Departure in advance

To get from the village of Kalipura to the city of Talahan, you have to cross the Great Forest and reach the village of Firumman, the de facto border of the Earldom of Talahan. Then follow the main road all the way, passing through several villages and small towns, and walk for about ten days to reach the city of Tarakhan.

The biggest difficulty in this journey was how to cross the forest. This forest, known as "Miselle", is quite large, with ancient trees, fierce beasts, and many dangerous monsters among them. Even if ordinary people are lucky enough not to get lost in it, they can easily be buried in poisonous snakes, beasts and even monsters, and it is almost impossible to cross through the past alive.

The only way to cross the forest is the seasoned adventurers, or those who have been blessed.

In the entire village of Kalipura, the only one who has the ability to cross the forest is Joseph the Hunter. He is a real expert in survival in the wild, and with only a flint and steel and a short knife, he can live in the wilderness for half a month. But even if he wants to cross this labyrinthine forest, it will take a long time to prepare. On the one hand, he needs to collect herbs and make potions that will mask his scent to avoid being targeted by wild beasts, and on the other hand, he has to wait for the right weather to avoid heavy rain in the forest.

Heavy rain in the forest is extremely dangerous, and even a seasoned adventurer can catch a cold and fall ill and die.

Although Ah Yuan is just a down-and-out trader, he has a unique ability - he can take the broken cart and drive the old horse through the labyrinthine forest with ease, never worrying about getting lost or dangerous.

Sleepless suspects that he might be a druid, or at least a druid apprentice. If you want to come and go freely in the primeval forest, in addition to the elves who are the "darlings of the forest", the only way to do this is to use the power of nature and get the protection of nature.

Of course, it doesn't matter what kind of person Ah Yuan is.

After all, they wouldn't go with Ah Yuan - this merchant was a bit of a rampage, but he was a businessman after all, his observation was definitely strong enough, and his discipline was definitely not enough to hold out any hope.

So after asking Ah Yuan about the city of Tarakhan and the road related to it, they set off early the next morning.

At this time, Ah Yuan was still sorting out the goods and preparing to continue doing business.

He usually stayed in the village of Kalipura for three or four days at a time, and the traversers planned to take advantage of the time difference and get out before he could get the news back about them.

There is a proverb among intelligence traffickers: news faster than people is gold, news slower than people is shit.

By the time Ah Yuan finished his business and returned to the "civilized world", the traversers had already walked ahead of him, and the news had little value to spread.

According to the information, the correct way to cross the forest of Misellele is to follow the small river that runs through the forest. But in fact, this method is not very reliable, because the river will branch out in the forest.

So the traversers persuaded Joseph Sr. to be his guide and accompany them on this journey.

Of course, in order to reassure him, except for Panda and Sleepless, the rest of the team is full of elves and half-elves, which can be said to be a team of elves.

The half-elf "Dream Weaver True Remnant", whose current name is "Raymond Weir". Shaping Mage, a legendary fire specialty, with a powerful destructive power. He is a grocery store owner in real life, and he also has business skills in the game, and after wearing the "Calipura's Calculation" belt, he will be in charge of serving as a merchant for the squad.

As long as he can restrain his temper of smashing fireballs if he doesn't agree with him, he should be able to be a good businessman...... bar.

The Caucasian sub-elf "Bookmaniac", whose current name is "Buka". Completely different from ordinary elves, his body is extremely burly and majestic. His profession is that of a sage, the kind that uses "books" as weapons.

The High Elf "Sword Thirteen", whose current name is "Brad". White robe, white hair, white eyebrows and white beard, similar to the emperor, he looks like an old grandfather, but he is actually more vigorous than the average young man. The profession is a sword mage - just like the legendary dried tofu old man, the attributes are all on life and stamina, weapon mastery is one-handed sword and two-handed sword, and skills include blocking, critical hits, charges, whirlwind dances, decapitation, armor piercing...... The only spell skill is the Holy Light for Lighting.

Sword Thirteen's spells are still a little more than the old man of dry tofu, and he will have a full set of buff skills, but he can only use them on himself.

The High Elf "Starlight", currently known as "Star". The petite girl in the black robe is also very petite, only 14 years old. She is a genius girl, and she just took the mock college entrance examination not long ago, and her grades are roughly the same as those of the freshmen who are relatively good in general key high schools. Considering that she is actually only in her first year of high school, it is estimated that she will enter a prestigious school in the future - provided that she does not waste her studies during the time travel.

Xingzhao is the younger sister of Sword Thirteen, whether it is a cousin or a cousin, it is uncertain. She is very clingy to Sword Thirteen, so this time she is determined to join the adventure party that goes to the city of Tara Khan.

The wild elf "Harmony", the current name is "Voace". Book mage,A little communication barrier.,But the memory is very good.,It's the moving two-legged bookcase of the raider group.。 He and Sleepless will serve as the team's intelligence support, providing detailed information on each character and event.

The five elves, plus Sleepless and Panda, are the entire composition of this adventure team.

By the way, there is also the guide Joseph Sr.

Such a team is obviously extremely conducive to survival in the wild, the elves have a passive talent close to nature, and often as long as there is one elf in an adventurous team, it can ensure the safety of activities in the wild. There are five elves in this team, plus Joseph Sr., an expert in survival in the wild, no matter how you look at it, it is very stable.

When he set off, Sleepless thought about it, but still didn't say it.

It's unlucky to find a sip of milk and plant a flag.

They followed the creek and soon walked into the dense forest. As expected, with a group of elves, both the beasts and the vipers bypassed them far away and did not cause them any trouble.

The darkness of the forest didn't bother them either, and Sword Thirteen casually summoned a ball of light, which hung about three meters above his head, and followed him as a light source.

His mana value is much higher than that of ordinary swordsmans, which are only used by ordinary swordsmen to buff themselves when they are preparing for battle, and he can be open twenty-four hours a day, and the remaining mana is enough to play a few whirlwind slashes and the like.

What? You say "Whirlwind Slash" isn't magic?

While swinging the sword in a circle, a series of wind blades shoot out from the tip of the sword, how is it not magic!
