Chapter 247: Sweeping the Ancient Battlefield
After leaving the Tower of Ancient Voices, Mia became much quieter.
In fact, it wasn't quiet, but the effort of chatting with Su Wen was replaced by familiarity with new abilities. And once people have gained strength far beyond what they have now, they must face two problems.
One is the discomfort after the sudden change, and the other is the expansion after the "sudden rich".
The first problem, Mia is constantly solving on her own, and from the way she now controls the pile of golden liquid matter, it is still going well.
As for the second one, Su Wen's current understanding of Mia is not sure for the time being. Because Mia, who grew up in Markway, has a deeper mind than the people he has come into contact with before.
The city of Makwei is not as peaceful as it is in the south or along the Longjiang River, and the order here is much more chaotic than in other places. So people who grew up here are naturally not as simple as they seem.
However, Quint, who is bent on the Valkyrie faith, is probably an exception.
And getting along these days also made Su Wen feel that Mia seemed to have the same pure thoughts as Ellie.
Also, just because of Su Wen's generous bounty whose strength was at the silver level, he dared to leave behind his life like a little princess to pursue the dream of "wanting to see the world" with his first instinct, in a way, Mia, like Ellie, is also a stunned young man.
But on the other hand, did Mia do this because she saw it clearly?
These thoughts were just some of Su Wen's random thoughts, and his main focus was still on the exploration of the Tower of Oblivion.
Except for the tower of the Ancient Voice, they had never encountered any other tower with the same magical phenomenon, or maybe they didn't meet the conditions to crack the mystery at the top of the tower?
"You say, did the towers we encountered before also have something missing?" Su Wen sometimes walked and walked unconsciously, and asked the question unconsciously.
"Presumably, I think every tower hides something like this......" Mia replied to Su Wen as she tried to transform the golden liquid substance into various shapes.
The suit of armor was packed in a bag by Mia and hung on the sides of the saddle, and the armor that exceeded her physical limit hung on the ghost warhorse without affecting the horse's speed in the slightest.
The metal bird, a magical golem transformed, hovered around Mia most of the time, and the speed provided by just a small piece of energy core allowed it to keep up with the Ghost Warhorse. It can be seen how powerful the magic puppet in its intact state is.
Mia also gave the metal bird a name, called Nan, indicating the direction of the "south", Su Wen asked the reason, Mia gave the answer that there is a song that sings that every winter, the birds in the north will fly south to avoid the cold.
Although there are hardly any wild birds to be seen in the barren land of Markway.
"Nan Bird, come here!"
"Nan Birdie, do you know I'm calling you?"
Mia's voice calling for the metal bird gave Su Wen a sense of déjà vu.
However, the logical part of the metal bird seems to recognize Mia's name for it, even after Su Wen calls out Nan Xiaoniao's name, the metal bird will react to Su Wen, but Su Wen's instructions are not as easy to use as Mia's.
In more than a week, Su Wen had almost traveled half of the ancient battlefield, but the things he found were quite limited, and the number of things related to him was zero. And no clues were found related to the long knife.
Although these towers are occupied by monsters, its essence is still a place to record human cultural activities, because on several towers, Su Wen has found things and materials that are considered treasures of mankind for today's historians.
However, Su Wen didn't bring these things out, there was no special reason, it was just that Su Wen was not interested.
Mia was quite interested in these things, whether she could read them or not, and among them, Mia even gave the exact age of what was left on a tall tower and some things.
Su Wen asked in surprise why.
Mia replied lightly, "What is described in an old ballad is very similar to the scene here."
But even after figuring out the details of the tower, the two of them still couldn't find anything useful on it.
The accommodation conditions in the wild are quite difficult, and Su Wen can insist on not sleeping, but Mia is different, but even in the uncomfortable sleeping bag, she can sleep peacefully, not at all like a pampered eldest lady.
As far as sanitary conditions are concerned, it is even more difficult. The weather is getting colder, and the clothes Mia brought are all on her body. Although they didn't sweat much on the horse, the wind and sand and dust also made the two of them look gray, and they looked even more depressed than ordinary adventurers.
Mia's hair also changed from a loose state at the beginning, to a bun state halfway through. After all, it's too much trouble to take care of your hair.
Su Wen also noticed that whenever she lit a bonfire and camped in the wild, Mia would always take out a small notebook and pen to record something.
"What are you writing about?"
"Write songs. ”
"Did you write it out?"
"Writing. ”
The two of them talked about the unnutritious conversation, going back and forth sentence by sentence, as if it was just to pass the lonely scenery of the desolate wilderness.
But after Mia stopped writing, the conversation seemed to suddenly open again.
"Wow, Su Wen, the metal pendant on the tower we went to for the first time the day before yesterday is so beautiful, what do you think? I think it's similar to the style of the old literary wave more than 300 years ago, I wrote a song of a similar style, but I haven't finished it yet, you listen to it......"
Su Wen remembered that because Mia had been looking at those metal charms for a long time, Su Wen broke off a piece for Mia to play with.
However, Mia was more opposed to this kind of damage to human cultural heritage, but Su Wen's sentence "Do you think there will be other people here?" was temporarily convinced.
"There are so many inspirations these days, I haven't finished a single song, oh yes, I wrote down the song with ancient sounds, these ancient music is really good, but I haven't thought of any instrument that can match this tune, I feel that the style doesn't match ......"
When Mia was concentrating on her work, she reacted almost always to the outside world, but after returning to her normal state, she became a little talkative. It's all about sharing your own thoughts.
And Su Wen, as a listener, is also quite conscientious, and from time to time to express a few words of his opinion, which also makes Mia feel that she is communicating with someone who knows how to do it, rather than playing the piano to a cow.
The two of them swept the entire ancient battlefield at a speed that was neither fast nor slow, and they also encountered many powerful monsters on the way, some of them even reached the level of the fire demon, but in order to avoid trouble, they were also bypassed by Su Wen.
Although it was only seen from a distance, it also made Mia feel the fear tangibly.
It turns out that those adventurers are facing this kind of thing?
"It's not all like that. ”
Su Wen seemed to see through Mia's thoughts, and explained: "It's weaker, if the general number is enough and well-prepared, there will be no problems." ”
As he walked, Su Wen seemed to have deliberately bumped into a giant scorpion. Then an ice pick pierced the body of the giant scorpion, fixed it on the ground, and then explained to Mia: "For example, this thing is the prey that adventurers love, although it only has gold-level strength, but the materials are not cheap. ”
"But you killed ...... with one move"
"Don't worry about these details. ”
