213. Four seasons
For the Coronians, if you want to compare which half-plane is the most famous, then it will definitely not be the turn of the Red Moon and Babao Mountain, which are hidden from ordinary residents. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
The champion of this popularity must belong to the Four Seasons Half Plane inside the White Tower.
The Four Seasons Half-Plane was not anchored and dragged out of the chaotic interior of the White Tower by the masters, but it maintained a unique stability very strangely. That is, no matter when, as long as the internal seal of the White Tower is lifted, visitors who enter the White Tower from the teleportation array will be the first to come to the Four Seasons Half-Plane.
This strange stability has made the Four Seasons Half-Plane a well-known secret in Coronia. Every year, thousands of contestants come here and go their separate ways.
As the name suggests, the Four Seasons Half-Plane is a wonderful place where the four seasons are staged at the same time. Here, you may have just walked a metre deep in snow, but five minutes later, you're lying on a meadow, tickling in the spring breeze. Or maybe you climb an ice peak with great difficulty, and find that on top of the mountain, there is a forest full of fruit from the fallen branches.
Strange weather is everywhere here, and within a radius of 100 meters, you can enjoy a variety of scenery throughout the year.
For many people who live in Coronia all year round, the Four Seasons Half-Plane may be the only way to see the real sights of other seasons. Therefore, after the registration for the annual Climbing White Pagoda Contest begins, many teams will be born specifically for short-term travel to the Four Seasons and a Half Plane. They came to the White Tower, not to win the glory of the championship of the White Pagoda Competition, nor to discover new planes and explore new secrets, but to join this grand event with the mentality of tourism and part-time work to earn money.
When Easter and his party entered the Four Seasons Half-Plane, there were already a large number of people who didn't want to continue exploring the Half-Plane. Some of the teams that had been prepared for a long time had even taken out all kinds of money-making goods that they had brought in, found an area with a suitable climate, and set up a simple shed to start a business.
Many people wander leisurely among these stalls, admiring the scenery that is very different from Coronia, while waiting for the food to be prepared at the stalls.
Many people have set up tents and started exploring the surrounding area. The Four Seasons Half-Plane is a notoriously rich place, with many outputs not seen in Coronia. The most abundant of them are temperate fruits. Many people come in and focus on picking fruits, then store them in cold areas, and wait for the end of the tournament to take away with them and sell them to outsiders for a small fortune.
"It's a little bit different from what I imagined. Sonia looked at the lively scene around her with a confused look on her face.
It is as if this is not the mysterious half-plane inside the White Tower, but a spontaneous bazaar in the countryside.
"It's really not what I imagined. But it's not bad. Esther handed her a fruit that had just been plucked from the tree, and then raised his head and shouted to Alfryn, who was climbing on the tree, "Enough, don't pick it, leave some for others." ”
"You know what!" Alfrin retorted. She had climbed to a very high position, and she could see that this Lori had no fear of heights at all.
"The fruit of such a high position is simply not accessible to many people. Only a master as light as a swallow like me can take it off. Hurry up, go on. Master said that these can be made into preserved fruits. ”
"What's next!" Monica ran back and forth in some glee. She had a large pocket open in her hand, catching the fruits that Alfrin had dropped with precision.
"This fruit tastes good. You can pack more. Esther wiped the red and bright tennis ball-sized fruit in his hand a few times, and took a bite of the fleshy place.
The red juice immediately stimulates his taste buds and delivers a beautiful sweet and sour taste.
"Yes, yes. "Golden Leaf Misugi collected all the pits that had been eaten, and planned to take them out for trial planting. Easter, however, is skeptical that he will succeed. Because this is clearly the fruit of temperate climates.
In East's mind, the Four Seasons Half-Plane is a huge resort at all. It's no wonder that tens of thousands of Colomboites sign up for the annual Climb to the White Tower. He looked to a nearby stall area and noticed that Reynoldsen was chatting with a number of stall owners.
Esther plucked out his ears to hear their conversation clearly.
"Reynoldson, you're here again! Don't forget me if there's anything good this time!"
"Reynoldson, the things you gave me last time were all bad and couldn't be sold. Don't say anything, either lose money, or you find me something rare this time. ”
"Reynoldsen, Pula and her girls didn't come in, so I said they were too eye-catching. These women don't know how many men to fill the scene, so they want to come in and make money. The alchemists saw through it!"
Talking to Reynoldson was a guy who was on par with Reynoldson in terms of roe deer, and was clearly talking about something discordant.
Looks like the old man has a lot of acquaintances here!," thought Easter. He estimated that he would be able to get a lot of news. First of all, it is necessary to find out where the team of the Duke of Pervas who came in is now, and who they are composed of, so as to determine under what circumstances to contact them.
But the first thing to do is to contact the lame richard first to see how the task assigned to him is being completed.
"Alfrin, are you on the top of the tree, can you see the situation in the distance, do you see the flag of the lame?"
The big tree that Alfrin climbed was the commanding height of the neighborhood. She had been busy picking fruit before, and was reminded by Easter that she could use her advantageous geographical location to conduct a search.
"Wait a minute!" Alfrin flickered up a distance again, wondering if the tiny branches would break if they couldn't bear her weight. However, it seems that the girl has some unique skills that she has learned from Reynoldsam, and she stands like a light squirrel all the way to the highest point of the canopy.
"Ah, I'll look for it. She pulled out an alchemical telescope from the top of the tree and looked around into the distance.
I have to say that the teleportation circle under the gatehouse of the White Tower is very peculiar. When it completely teleports each team into the Four Seasons Half-Plane, it will randomly disperse different teams to different locations across the vast land.
This will ensure that the same team will always be together, but it can be difficult to find other teams.
"No, I can't see them. Alfrin shouted under the tree, causing the idlers around her to look at each other with disgruntled looks.
It seems that it is only slowly converging. After all, compared to the vast half-plane, Alfrin could only see a tiny part of the area.
Fortunately, there is an old fritter like Reynoldson, who has already experienced this situation, and has agreed with Richard the Cripple in advance to meet and place. There, neither side will miss the other in any case.
"Any news?" asked Easter, who had taken a large handful of skewered barbecue from Reynoldson and looked at the old man with his mouth full of oil.
"There's some news that's not quite sure. There is a team, which is suspicious. Reynoldsen wiped his mouth and glanced at Alfrin at the top of the tree.
"Some of my old buddies try to sneak into the White Tower Contest every year to do business. This has been going on for many years. They can tell at a glance which team is a good trading partner. According to them, those guys are not ordinary contestants at first glance. All of them were full of arrogance, as if everyone owed them money. Unlike most teams who stay here for a while, they don't stop and head for the Eye of Ashes. ”
"I'm in a hurry!" The Eye of Ashes is a vast pit in the center of the Four Seasons Half-Plane. There was no grass in the pit, only gray rocks were left everywhere.
"Although I don't think it's right, it shouldn't be the Pervas team. Otherwise, at least find a way to contact the person who kidnapped Helena's mother and daughter first. Old man, where do you think the Pervas team will be?"
"Don't worry, Richard will keep an eye on the Eye of Ashes. I reckon he's almost there by now. Even if Prague Pervas turned to ashes, Richard could smell him. ”
"Then let's get on our way at once! Alflyn, come down. Monica, give me the pocket. Sonia, don't study the snow. ”
For teams with space equipment, the preparation time before departure will be greatly reduced. The same is true of Easter's party. As long as you put the east-west space equipment in it, you can all travel lightly.
Because there are no mediocre players in the whole team, the speed of progress is considerable. Along the way, they have outdone quite a few teams that entered ahead of them.
What left East speechless was that the biggest drag on the team's speed was actually Reynoldson's acquaintances who kept meeting along the way. Almost every team had an acquaintance of Reynoldson in it. And once they see Reynoldsson, they will also greet the old man very warmly.
The way to greet them is usually to shout from the other team, "Old bastard, you're not dead yet!" and the old man will reply, "Bastard, you are not dead, how can I die." ”
This kind of Q&A that sounds like it might lead to a bloody case in East's ears turned out to be either the other party running over quickly, or the old man running over to each other, chatting and exchanging news, and then returning to his team with some messy gifts.
As a team leader, Esther only then believed that the old guy Reynoldson had really participated in countless competitions to climb the White Tower.
He was able to maintain a friendly relationship with so many teams, and it seems that he had put a lot of effort into the past.
But East still has a question. That's why a guy like Reynoldson is happy to participate in the White Tower Climbing Contest over and over again.
No matter how great the temptation to discover a new half-plane was, he couldn't steal it under the nose of the Alchemist Guild, let alone those rewards that might be huge sums of money for ordinary people, nothing to him.
In East's opinion, the only answer was that the old man was looking for something. Find something that was lost in the unknown corners of the White Tower before the Dark Ages.
