Chapter 233: Lord Sorensen
When Darius heard that the men were staying, he just nodded his head to show that he understood, and did not ask for more details, which made Louis realize that this Darius knight probably didn't know anything! Or maybe Lord Sorensen really wasn't ready to attack everyone.
I still can't be sure what the real situation is, but I can relax my guard against Knight Darius a little.
"Before entering the fog, there are a few things to clarify...... You shouldn't have more than one of you ever entered the fog, right? I mean with torches. ”
Dalius did not rush into the dense fog, and introduced various points to everyone before the thick fog: although the torch can disperse the dense fog, under normal circumstances, it will definitely feel that since the torch has driven the dense fog aside, there can be more than one person standing in the protection range, right?
Or if several people use torches to enter the fog, then even if one or two torches fail, as long as you approach the person whose torches have not failed, you can still buy time to relight or take out the spare torches.
So why didn't anyone do it?
Torches interfere with each other and can only protect the user - in addition to releasing magic to dispel the fog, the torch will also release mana fluctuations to protect the person holding the torch, while those who do not touch the torch will not be protected even if they stand next to the torch and will be 'swept away' by the fog.
Hearing Darius's introduction, Louis and the others understood that even if everyone wanted to enter the riverbend fort together, there was no way to act together, so they could only keep their distance apart to ensure that the torches would not interfere with each other.
"It's so troublesome, but I can't see clearly in the fog, what if I accidentally get close to another partner with a torch?"
"Pay attention here. Dalius pointed to an inconspicuous spot on the torch: "If there is a yellow light here, it is a warning to you, and there are people nearby who are using torches, and if there is a red light, it means that the two of you are already very close, and the torches are disturbing each other." ”
After explaining these situations, Dalius pointed to the edge of the road: "Follow this edge to ensure that you don't get lost." ”
If you don't have a suitable reference, it's easy to get lost in the dense fog where you can't tell the direction at all, and maybe you're walking for half a day but you're just going around in a small area.
Now Darius has given her own advice to make sure everyone can enter the Riverbend Fort without any problems.
"In that case, I'm the second to go into the fog. "The first to enter must have been Darius, and Louis decided to follow Darius as the second to enter, followed by Myron, Jill, and finally Artoria.
After everyone had agreed on the intervals, Darius took the lead in carrying the torch into the thick fog.
Louis stood here for a while, chatting casually with Jill and Artoria about messy things, such as if Jill needed to relax for a while after the last world killing?
"It's okay!" Jill eliminated a group of killers, she had already adjusted her mentality, and she would not fall into a tangled state because of this, let alone blacken: "But I still hope that I will encounter this kind of task less in the future." ”
"It's hard to say, it's impossible to say when you'll run into a world of war again, and it's impossible to tell whether you're dealing with good or bad guys. ”
Seeing that the time was almost up, Louis waved his hand, raised his torch and walked into the fog.
Walking along the side of the road can ensure that he does not deviate from the right direction, and consciously control the speed of progress, Louis also looks at the position of the torch from time to time to give warnings, and occasionally sees the torch glowing yellow, he will slow down appropriately, or just stand in place and wait for a while.
When he was sure he was safe, he moved on, and in this way, Louis quickly stepped out of the fog and saw Darius standing in front of the gate of Fort Bend waiting for him.
Louis took a few more steps forward and extinguished his torches, then looked around - Fort Riverbend was a city built on a bend, which is where the name Fort Bend comes from.
The entire Fort of the River Bend is surrounded by a tall wall, except for the east side of the river, which has no wall.
Louis stood in front of the north gate of Fort Riverbend, and could faintly see the river to the east, but only slightly, because of the thick fog on the river.
"Can the devices that protect the Riverbend Forts disperse the fog so far beyond the walls?"
"It can only be guaranteed that the dense fog cannot enter the range of 50 meters outside the city wall, but in fact, there will be dense fog penetrating from time to time, and the really safe area should be within 30 meters outside the city wall. "Darius didn't tell Louis where the 'Tower' was deployed, and even if he knew that this was a brave man who specialized in dealing with the Demon King, he wouldn't casually reveal the most important defenses of the Bend Fort.
The two of them stood here at the city gate and chatted, waiting for the people behind, and after a while, Myron, Jill and Artoria walked out of the thick fog one after another, and everyone passed through the thick fog smoothly without any accidents.
Darius exhaled when she saw Myron, he was really worried that something would go wrong at the last minute, and even prepared a few torches for Myrondo.
In fact, Darius doesn't have to worry at all, a spellcaster of Myron's level, even if the torch suddenly loses its effect, he has enough strength to buy himself time to replace the torch, and it won't happen like Louis at the beginning, the torch will be sent to other worlds by the fog as soon as it is extinguished.
"Fort Riverbend doesn't seem to have been threatened too much. "The dense fog outside the Riverbend Fort has also existed for a long time, I don't know how much of the fog has turned yellow, releasing monsters from other worlds to attack the Riverbend Fort, but now it seems that the Riverbend Fort is very quiet, and it seems that it has not been attacked in any way.
Of course, it may also be that Fort Riverbend is relatively strong, and it has neatly eliminated the enemy and protected the city.
"Sage-sama, the lord is waiting for you, why don't we go over now?"
As the men spoke, the gates opened a little, and a soldier in beautiful armor walked up to Darius, and after saying something in his ear, Darius began to urge everyone to go to the lord Sorensen.
Louis guessed that the guards immediately informed the lord Sorensen when they saw Darius returning, and Sorensen sent his men to herald that they were going to see Myron immediately.
As for his own brave men, it may be in the eyes of Lord Sorensen, and it can be seen from Darius's reaction that Lord Lord doesn't care about these brave men.
"Let's go, go meet the lord. Myron and Louie looked at each other, but Louie didn't say a word, but stepped aside.
Myron understood immediately, and then he walked in the front, followed by Darius.
He had been to Hewan Fort many times, and he knew the way to meet the lord, and he didn't need anyone to show him the way.
Louis and Jill and Artoria followed quietly, as if Myron's retinue were their attendants, and walked quietly forward, taking in the city.
The Fort of the River Bend was bordered by a bay and was surrounded by tall walls on three sides, and after entering the city gates, they entered the outer city.
The outer city is a slum area of Hewan Fort, and there are also some agricultural areas, although there are also markets, shops, and commercial areas, but the goods sold are relatively cheap and cheap, and to put it bluntly, the people living here are the lower classes.
Correspondingly, the infrastructure in the outer city is very poor, giving people the feeling of being dirty and messy, but Louie They are now walking on the main city road, which is relatively okay, Louie can see how bad the environment of many roads, streets and alleys next to him is by virtue of his extraordinary eyesight, just looking at those places, it seems to be no different from Redwood Village.
To continue to move forward, you can enter the inner city of the river bay fort, the environment of the inner city is much better, the main street is even paved with stone slabs, even some of the small roads are paved with gravel, the houses are much more beautiful, and there are all kinds of plants planted around the street, so that the whole inner city is full of the fragrance of various plants, and the air is fresh.
"It's like two worlds. ”
Jill has been quiet and didn't speak, and at this time she couldn't help but sigh, she was like suddenly entering another city from one city, the contrast is too great - the raccoon city where she originally lived is of course divided into rich and slum areas, but on the surface, there is not such a big gap, it is like a comparison between developed countries and backward and poor countries.
"For the people here, they do live in a different world. "There will hardly be any intersection between people of different classes, and there will be no contact between the upper class and the lower class at all, and even if the upper class people have something to do with the lower class, they will not come forward in person, but will only let their subordinates and cronies deal with these things.
Isn't it just two different worlds that people who can't be exposed to it at all and whose living environments are hugely different?
After entering the inner city, you will soon come to the castle of the lord, which is not located in the center of the castle, because the inner city of the castle is more easterly, and the corresponding castle of the lord is also located in the castle of the riverbend to the east, that is, closer to the bay.
Lord Sorensen was sitting in the council chamber waiting for everyone, this was an empty and spacious hall, the only seat was on the steps on the side of the hall, Lord Sorensen sat on the ornate chair, watching the people who came towards him.
"Your Excellency. Darius was the first to salute the lord: his right hand was clenched into a fist against his left chest, and he bowed slightly—Louis was glad to see this, and it seemed that there should be no need to bow to these so-called upper rules.
Myron was even simpler, just stood in front of the lord and nodded slightly, even if he saluted, and the lord Sorensen did not have any dissatisfied expression.
When he saw the few people behind Myron, he just nodded, showing a little unhappiness, but quickly suppressed this unhappiness.
Louis, who noticed this, muttered in his heart: "I didn't expect this lord's IQ to be quite normal......
