Chapter 23: Camping
The train's final destination is Graveltown, a town on the edge of the Gravel Plains, but still under construction and not yet in use. The whole gravel town, except for the city walls, is full of half-built houses.
"I heard that the establishment of Gravel Town this time will be the first station for Winterfell to regain the Gravel Plains, and once successful, the rich minerals of the Gravel Plains will be completely taken into the bag. William stood high at the station, looking down at the town, and sighed: "Soon this will be a paradise for adventurers, a battlefield for merchants." ”
Tang Qi was not in the mood to sigh, he didn't expect that the selection location would be the Gravel Plain, even if the overlord of the Gravel Plains had migrated away, this was still a dangerous place, and the difficulty of this selection was much higher than before.
Everyone gathered in the future town square of Gravel, and several richly dressed nobles stood on the stage to explain the rules of the selection to everyone:
"This year's selection is still based on results, in the case of survival, as many tasks as possible to get points, once the total score exceeds 100, even if the selection is passed, and the top 10 in the final score will be given prizes by the nobles, of which the top three are a set of source skills, and the others will each get a source point realm equipment. ”
Source Technique!
Tang Qi's eyes widened, not only him, but everyone else was the same, you must know that the nobles were not so generous in previous years, it would be good to be able to give some golden dragons, the nobles were notoriously stingy towards the commoners.
The people on the stage coughed, and the crowd was quiet:
"However, this year, the rules have changed, first of all, the station, this gravel town is the station, according to the original rules, the station is a trading place, and the nearest camping point must not be less than 3 miles from the station, and this year, this distance has been increased to 5 miles. ”
"5 miles, that's not living in the wilderness!"
The discussion in the crowd came and went, and many people were a little flustered, 3 and 5, it seemed that they were almost the same, but in fact, the evil beast was not willing to get close to the city wall within 3 miles, and the evil beast would not care about the city wall at a distance of 5 miles, so it was not wrong to live in the wilderness.
In addition, the selection period will be extended from one week to one month. ”
If the issue of the garrison is just a matter of discussion, then this rule change has caused the crowd to explode into dissatisfaction, a month! It is dangerous to survive in the wild for a month, even if the vicinity of Gravel Town is relatively safe to be cleared by the Rangers, and no one wants to live in the wild for a month.
Tang Qi and William's faces also changed, and Fuyana looked calm, as if she had expected it.
Dissatisfied and excited by the crowd, the nobleman who spoke calmly, with a hint of mockery at the corner of his mouth, said calmly:
"This is what all the nobles of the South, including me, agree, and it must be said that this selection is indeed more dangerous than ever. But you have to understand that the more dangerous it is, the more rewards you get, not only the rewards of the ranking lists, but also the right to choose the nobles for those who get good results. ”
"In this selection, you are the masters, and if the nobles want talents, they have to give better conditions to compete with others, and the decision is ultimately in your own hands. With so many benefits, a little danger increase is nothing, and don't forget, there will be Rangers on your perimeter on standby, and the guards will try to make sure there are no high-risk beasts. ”
"Now the choice is in your hands, whether to go or to participate. ”......
His voice fell, and the audience fell silent, what he said was indeed heartwarming, and most of the people who could come to participate in the selection were people who were confident in their own strength and willing to take risks. It is said that all dangers can be measured by price, and the price offered by the nobles this time is enough to make people ignore the danger.
Even so, about 300 people left, mostly young people who didn't think there was a need to take the risk. There were about 1,500 people left, and Tang Qi hugged his shoulders and shook his head, it was really fiercely competitive.
The next step is to check what you bring, and according to the rules, there are no restrictions on carrying items other than food, so the main thing is to check for smuggled food.
Everyone's backpacks were placed on the ground, and the guards checked them one by one, not to mention that a lot of food was really found, and all kinds of ways to hide food opened Tang Qi's eyes, but even the beef strips sewn into the backpack were found, and Tang Qi knew that basically no one could carry food.
When the sun hangs high in the sky, the autumn auditions officially begin.
As soon as the door opened, there was an influx of people, no one wanted the task to fall into the hands of others, and the selection had just begun, and before the evil beast had been fighting, everyone was fighting to grab the task.
The destructive power of the source cultivator is amazing, even if it is a group of source qi level source cultivators, after the front yard of the municipal building was demolished by the two people who hit the head, a nobleman hurriedly stepped forward to teach the two leaders a lesson, and warned that fighting is prohibited in Gravel Town, and violators will be punished.
However, just as everyone was scrambling for the task, a team left Gravel Town alone.
This team is naturally the three of Tang Qi.
Walking across the plains, Tang Qi's backpack was several times larger than when he came, and it was a little difficult to carry it with his strength, not only him, but William's bag was also a few laps larger. The bags contained the equipment they had asked the abstainers to buy, and it turned out that the things were for a week, and a month's stay was not enough.
And the money, let William take care of it.
Fuyana was still carrying her own bag, jumping around and patrolling: "Those stupid people, the task is not something that can be completed in one day, the first day to break the head, tomorrow will be easy to pick up, it is important to choose the camp first." ”
Tang Qi ignored her, this little Lori can't boast, otherwise she has to float to the sky.
The Gravel Plains were colder than Winterfell, the cold wind blew across the Plains, fierce and cold, Tang Qi was wearing leather armor and cotton clothes, and he felt the slightest chill invade his body, if he hadn't taken the Ice Lizard Flower, he might not be able to travel for a long time.
William was not as easy as him, gritting his teeth and trembling a little. On the contrary, it was Fuyana, her little face was flushed, like a red apple stained with ashes, and she didn't know that she thought she was deep in the summer, and Tang Qi really wanted to peel off her dirty cloak and see what she was wearing underneath.
Glacier is not a general term, but specifically refers to a river that winds its way to the south. In winter, the endless snow, the cold dripping into ice, but the glacier is mighty and flowing, the white waves are broken, and the fog is majestic, as if the warriors who will never give in to the cold winter.
At this time, this glacier that nurtured countless creatures in the southern realm flowed in front of the eyes of the three of them, Tang Qi had fallen into the glacier once, but it was only a tributary, far less shocking than the one in front of him.
"Is the camp going to be here?" William gasped.
"No, the river is the most dangerous, but our camp can be a little closer to the glacier. Tang Qi glanced at the evil beast drinking water on the other side, stood on a high place, opened a far-sighted look, and soon his eyes lit up......
