Chapter 7: First Contact with the Locals
Early the next morning, the traversers set off again and headed towards the local village.
After a night's rest, the sleepless spirit is much better. But it was clear that if he was allowed to trek through the waist-length steppe again, it would not be long before he would fall from exhaustion again.
So the panda took out a straw net pocket that he had woven at night, indicating that sleepless could sit in, and then he carried the net on his back.
Sleepless looked at the small net bag dumbfounded, and stammered, "Is this ...... This one...... I'm not big, but I'm ...... But it can also ...... I can't sit in!"
"Legs stretched out. The panda said, "Don't curl up, don't worry." ”
Sleepless imagined it for a moment, and his face became even more bitter.
"Isn't this similar to the basket that a rural woman carries a child on......
Everyone laughed at this.
When he finally couldn't resist the panda, he honestly sat in the net pocket, and after Yunero, who was taller than the panda, carried it, everyone laughed even more cheerfully.
As Sleepless imagined himself, he sat in a net bag, which was carried on Yunero's shoulder, and looked like an extremely tall peasant woman carrying an older child on her back.
Yunero didn't care about looking like a rural woman, all he could think about was getting to the village as quickly as possible to see what the locals were like.
His race is called "Dragonman", and this "dragon" is not the dragon of the giant dragon, but the dragon of the ancient dragon. Legend has it that the ancestors of the dragons were ancient dragons with divine powers, and although they have long since disappeared, they have left behind descendants who inherit their little bloodline.
Dragonmen are somewhat similar in appearance to lizardmen, but they are taller than lizardmen, and the short horns on their foreheads are a special sign that lizardmen will never have. They possess a strong physique, a keen reflexes, and a mastery of spell-like means that resemble dragon's breath. But in fact, their magic talent is not good, and the clan is rich in all kinds of warriors, and there are almost no mages.
The above is the background of the dragons in the game, if they really travel to the game world, then Yunero will die of the heart to learn spells, and honestly become his berserker. But if this world is not exactly the same as the game world, then he still has to work hard to see if he can learn some spells.
It doesn't matter whether he's strong or weak, he's just yearning for those supernatural abilities that are supernatural.
Panda is still at the front of the group, his pace is fast, each step is as far as two or even three steps of ordinary people, and no matter how long he walks, the rhythm of his steps is always the same, as if he will not get tired at all.
Because there is no sleepless drag, the team is moving much faster than yesterday. About four o'clock in the afternoon, almost two hours before dark, they came to the local village that they saw in the sky when Little Eggplant was scouting.
The village is not big, it is estimated that there are only thirteen or fourteen families from a distance, the houses are a little low, the roofs are almost covered with thick straw, and under the thatched roof, you can see a low wall made of mud bricks, which reveals a shabby and backward feeling from the bones.
There is a fence made of wood around the village, and it can be seen that a lot of time and effort has been spent, and each stick is quite thick, which should provide good protection.
It is located between a forest and a grassland, and near the forest there is a small river, and the river is bordered by a large area of farmland. In addition to the large expanses of green, there are also some red and gold in the fields, and I don't know what has been planted.
And in the direction of the grassland, there is a cemetery of considerable size. Strange to say, this village is not big, but the scale of the cemetery is quite large, in terms of area, I am afraid that it is only half a village.
“...... This place, I look a little familiar......" Sleepless, who had come down from his net, looked at the village and frowned, "Especially this huge cemetery outside the village. ”
"Properly called mass graves. Changsun Wu also spoke, "It reminds me of the Novice Village, outside the Novice Village, there is such a mass grave, and there is an important copy. ”
"A copy of the Skull Ring. When the public beta was first opened, I don't know how many people formed teams up to brush skull rings there every day, and some people joked that the skeletons that were killed every day added up to make a circle around the earth. Yunero smiled and said, "I started playing it in the third chapter, when the skull ring was still one of the novice god costumes, and I brushed the skeleton for three days according to the strategy, and I almost vomited until I brushed it. ”
"That's when the explosion rate was increased. As an insider beta player, Changsun Wu is all too familiar with these things, "When the open beta first started, the explosion rate was only two percent. I'm unlucky, and I've had at least two or three hundred fights with that damn boss, 'Necromancer Hamer', before I finally get that thing, and it's a pure-blooded African. ”
"I played for half a month. The panda muffled, "Bad luck, no way." ”
"Haha! So you're the Great African Chief!"
Everyone laughed and walked around the cemetery to the front of the village.
On the gate between the fences, a somewhat worn wooden board hangs. There was a line of writing on the board, and it was immediately recognizable to everyone who had never been exposed to this kind of writing.
Kalipura Village.
"This name is also very familiar...... "Eldest Sun Wu muttered.
"It's not just familiar! it's a novice village at all!" Sleepless sighed and said, "That's the name of the novice village......!"
There are two guards at the entrance of the village, and unlike the heavily armed and majestic men in the game, the two guards seen by the traversers are just ordinary people, except for spears with iron heads and wooden poles, there is nothing that can be called weapons, let alone armor, not even a saber.
Their figure is completely out of touch with the adjective "burly", barely tall, but obviously a little thin, and it can be seen that the nutrition is not good.
Seeing a group of eight people approaching, they were obviously very nervous, even if they were fully armed, the Valkyrie was a centaur who was taller than ordinary big men, and Yune was a dragonman with a terrifying head, his hair was all frost, and the little eggplant had wings behind it, even if he was a relatively kind panda, that face was definitely not human.
Among the eight people, there are only three real human beings, Changsun Wu's whole body is wrapped like a tin can, and he can't see his appearance at all; the appearance of the scavenger is quite normal, but the crossbow and sword on his back have a serious expression, and he doesn't look like a good person, and the only one in the team who seems to be harmless to a person and animal is only a white, pure and polite sleepless.
So before they could get closer, a middle-aged guard with a beard raised his spear, assumed a vigilant posture, and shouted, "Who are you?
"Travelers passing by. Panda replied.
"Traveler?" the guard asked, apparently unconvinced, "you don't look like a traveler at all!
"We're just a little bit lost. Sleepless smiled as kindly as possible, "I'm a nobleman from the royal capital...... Eric, they're my friends. We've formed a squad of adventurers who want to do the right thing...... As a result, I got lost. ”
Facing the ordinary people who knew that they had no combat power at a glance, he was suddenly full of confidence, patted the panda on the shoulder, motioned for him to get out of the way, and stepped forward by himself.
"Don't be nervous, people like us are actually not uncommon in the royal capital. ”
However, the answer to him was an unceremonious spear.
"Who are you fooling! Lao Tzu went to the royal capital when he was young!"
