Barrett and the others were now walking through an area called the 'Fluffy Carpet' in the Misty Forest.

This special azure moss feels good to step on. They have a slightly rough surface and are not as slippery as regular moss, providing good friction to the soles of the boots. Walking on it feels like stepping on a blanket made of thick wool, which is soft and effortless.

I have to say, compared to another name, 'plush carpet' does seem extraordinarily apt.

The scenery here is dull and monotonous, and there is little to be seen except for the soft azure color. Barrett felt that even the gray-white mist that pervaded the forest was much thinner, and he wondered if it was an illusion.

Although the scenery is monotonous, the journey is not boring. They talked about women, they talked about 'lovely people', they talked about Walk Wood, they talked about his famous blue potion and his book series.

Barrett then discovers that almost no one has read the seventh book in the series, and when he asks his own questions, Old Will gives an explanation—The Wood's Biography—Me and the 3,064 'Opposite Sex' in My Life (VII) is lost.

The author of the autobiography of Walkerwood is David Lawrence, a well-known writer in the Griffon Kingdom, who has written biographies of many well-known figures.

Legend has it that after Lawrence wrote the entire book, the seventh of the books was lost before it could be printed, along with the original draft. And when the author tried to rewrite it from his memory, he found that he had no memory of the seventh book in his mind, as if it was not written by him.

Rumor has it that Book 7 involves Wood's affair with a female god who didn't want the people of the earth to know her name, so he stole the seventh book and erased the author's memory of it.

Ever since the Magic Empire fought and won the war with the gods, the people have feared the mages more than the gods.

Not only that, but there are only two women among the thirty-six legendary mages of the Magic Association, and it would be embarrassing to say it one or the other. However, the number of female gods is quite large, and there is no need to sit in the right seat.

Therefore, although the whole set of "Wood's Biography" has a total of nine books from one to nine, the seventh of them is full of blank pages, leaving people with infinite reverie.

......

There seemed to be no danger in the 'Fluffy Carpet' area, there were no magical beasts such as petrified lizards and sharks, no strange monsters such as scavengers and recluses, no poisonous snakes and killer vines wandering among the treetops, no violent animals popping out of the bushes and mist.

It's not like a rotten swamp, and it's not as weird as the Rose Bush of the Demon Palace. The ubiquitous azure-colored moss seems to be the same as the fir tree, and apart from being numerous, it is not poisonous or aggressive.

Barrett knew the place, but this was also the first time coming. Because there is almost nothing here, which means that there are no "gold coins", adventurers mostly disdain to visit such an area.

"Can they eat it?" asked the ogre, plucking a handful of green moss from the trunk of the fir tree, "can they be roasted and eaten? Moglock has eaten grilled seaweed and it tastes good. ”

The big man's head didn't seem interested in anything but eating.

Barrett once heard the saying, "The simpler the thought, the easier it is to be happy." Barrett couldn't tell if the ogre Moglock was happy or not, after all, he didn't have the skills of Old Will, but Barrett could feel that it was at least not bothered, except when he was hungry.

"Sorry, I don't know if this thing is edible. He also plucked a handful of moss from the trunk of the tree, put it under his nose and sniffed it carefully. The azure moss has a fresh smell of greenery, and if you smell it closely, you can tell a little rosin, which is the scent of a fir tree.

Moss relies on fir, absorbs from Si, grows in Si, and naturally inevitably carries traces of fir.

"Even if you can eat it, it won't taste very good, because no one wants to eat it. Barrett threw the green moss in his hand to the ground, and the moss in the air collided with the moss on the ground, and then bounced, scattered, and melted into it, and it was impossible to tell the difference......

"The orcs of the Badlands have a habit of eating moss. "That's a custom they developed when they lived in the permafrost tundra." Although the mages of the Magic Empire did not exterminate the orcs, but only drove them to the permafrost tundra to breathe, it has to be said that the environment on the permafrost tundra is really bad enough that even rye cannot grow on it. And there are very few resources, and the creatures are scarce and fierce. I heard that the staple food of the orcs is the flesh and blood of their own people, in addition to moss. They devour each other, and the dead merge into the bodies of the living, providing power to the living, allowing the entire race to continue tragically on the brink of extinction. ”

"Isn't the permafrost tundra further north near the Adverse Sea, can't they fish?" asked the half-elf, confused.

"The temperature on the upwind sea is biting, and it should not be much more than the misty forest in winter. And it's not a metaphor for the fact that there is a constant hurricane like a sword all year round, but that the wind can really cut through deep wounds on your skin. Old Will sighed, "Without the protection of magic, once the sea breeze blows past you, it will tear through your clothes and take away all your flesh piece by piece, and even the best leather armor will not be spared, only a full-body armor like Moglock can withstand a little." Therefore, those orcs who can't even wear tree bark have a hard time fishing in the upwind sea. ”

"They brought it on themselves. Barrett said in a disdainful tone, "They should be exterminated! The orcs are like ogres, savage, rude, sorry, Moglock, I didn't mean you, sorry." He was a little out of his mouth.

The barbarians and orcs of the human race are feuding, and before the Empire, both sides existed as tribes, living in a region where each other's teeth were intertwined, and their habits were much in common. But because of the difference in race and the border of living space, they continue to fight each other, both sides wield battle axes to fight each other, and each other's hands are stained with each other's blood.

"No matter how miserable it was, at least the goblin-like greenskins are now in the middle of nowhere. Barrett continued, "and every few years he attacks the 'Krommeier Fortress'. ”

The orcs of the Badlands want to go south, and there are three ways:

The first is to cross the boundless Maweira Desert, which is close to the barren land and there is not even a small oasis, so this is something that cannot be done at all;

The second is to take a boat from the Wastelands through the Tongue of the Dragon to the Seth Peninsula. However, the sea fleets of the Frigian Islands and the Seth Peninsula are the sea kingdoms of the human sea, and the entire bay of the Dragon's Tongue is blocked, and the cannons can crush any outsider, and the orcs are not good at shipbuilding, even canoes are difficult to make, so this is not possible.

And the third is to cross the 'Krommeier Fortress' of the Nord Kingdom, and the orcs are more willing to use the way of battle to satisfy their thirst for fertile land than the sea route and the desert.

"The strong greenskins have to do this," explained Old Will, "and though the Badlands are much better than the permafrost tundra, they can't keep up with the massive growth of the orcs. So whenever their population reaches the maximum amount that the Badlands can supply, these guys have to lower the population in this way. ”

"If the mages could wipe out all the orcs, there wouldn't be so much to do. Barrett said with some indignation. He's not a racist who respects humans, nor is he a prejudiced person, but the continuing blood feud still makes him disgusted with orcs.

"We have no way to guess or interfere with the association's decision. Old Will stretched out his hands and made a helpless gesture. "It was a decision made by the legendary mages. ”

"The Nords will follow the teachings of the mage. Barrett stroked his chest and said, "But he will still fight the orcs." ”

The ogre scratched his head, as if he didn't understand what was happening, and said, "Moglock just wants to know if this thing can be eaten." That's it, that's it. ”

"I apologize again for my gaffes. Barrett followed Old Will's movements and patted the ogre on the shoulder, "But this thing shouldn't be edible, and no one wants to eat it." ”

"Maybe something will be willing to eat it. The gnome on the ogre's shoulder suddenly spoke, and he looked into the distance and said softly in a hoarse voice, "For example, a frost bug." ”
