Section 63 Clues and River Crossing
The two then began to split up on the shore where their footprints had disappeared to find new clues. In Du Lang's opinion, the ranks of civilians of hundreds were so large that it was impossible for even the most cautious wizard not to leave any clues. Sure enough, soon, Durang and Lavis had a harvest.
Lavis found a simple ferry along the river not far from the footprints, this ferry looked very dilapidated, a simple wooden platform, the only few wooden bollards were also blackened by the long-term wind and rain erosion, Durang hurriedly stepped forward to check, there were very obvious scars on the bollards that had only recently been rubbed. And around this ferry, Du Lang and the others were pleasantly surprised to find several bonfires that had been extinguished.
I saw Du Lang squatting down and grabbing a cluster of carbon chips with his hand and rubbing it slightly: "There is still residual temperature! It seems that they have been away from here for no more than two hours!" Du Lang's mood at this time is not to mention how excited he is, there are still two hours to see Jieli.
"Let's go. At this moment, Lavis, who was on the dock not far away, shouted at Duran, and Dulang looked up, and he saw that at this time Lavis had already put together a small boat, and was standing on the edge of the boat quietly watching Duran.
In fact, just ten minutes ago, when Duran was checking the campfire, Lavis was not idle, he came to the dock, and fortunately, there was a small boat moored under the improvised harbor, although it looked a little simpler, but it should be no problem to cross the river to the lighthouse in the center of the river.
From the bright light on the lighthouse, it is not difficult to see that the lighthouse is definitely inhabited. Therefore, they are not worried about reaching the lighthouse and continuing to sail towards the city without a boat, and if they want to go out to sea through the lighthouse, the small boat will definitely not be able to hold it, which is another reason why they have to go to the lighthouse. As a long-time lighthouse watcher, a robust and easy sailboat is essential.
Lavis glanced back at Durang, who was dark in anxiety and excitement, and there was a rare meaningful expression on his face, which seemed to have some envy, and even a hint of jealousy.
"Where are my relatives? Lavis said something to himself, but he didn't stop, and began to quickly tidy up the boat.
Since Dulang had lived by the river since he was a child, he had learned some boat skills from Uncle York, so he was familiar with the boat in front of him. However, the turbulent river at the mouth of the sea and the complicated direction of the water still made the two of them scramble.
The lighthouse didn't look very far away, but it wasn't until the two of them paddled to the center of the river that they realized how far away it was. The two of them shook on the river for four hours, and after a long time of shaking, when they set foot on land again, they never felt so safe stepping on the ground as they did today.
"I hate the feeling of being on a boat, it feels like Mr. Angerfall's fast-moving magic!" Durang couldn't help but let out a long sigh of relief when his feet stepped on the ground again, and the feeling of not being able to reach the sky and the ground immediately reminded him of the disgusting feeling that Angerfall had when he was holding him to move quickly when he was cold.
At this time, Lavis also looked awkward, but he didn't express it, but it was not difficult to see from his expression that he agreed with Dulang's point of view very much.
From the moment the two of them stepped on the lighthouse, they already belonged to the Padla Delta boundary. At the moment when the two stepped on this land, far away in the depths of the underground of the Luye-Islands, a pair of dark green eyes suddenly opened, and a roar went straight to the sky from the depths of the ground, and the ground of the entire Luye-Islands began to tremble slightly in this roar, and the surrounding sea area also became huge waves at this moment, overturning the fishing boats that went out to sea to fish.
However, neither of them could know this, and the two of them were now just relieved, tied the boat to the dock cable post under the lighthouse, and walked to the lighthouse. After some tossing, neither Durang nor Lavis had ever looked closely at the lighthouse, and now that they had finally fallen to the ground, they were able to observe the lighthouse up close.
"Whether you look at this lighthouse from a distance or up close, it's always magnificent! "Because the height of the lighthouse is so high, when they are at the foot of the lighthouse, they both have to struggle to reach the maximum elevation angle of their necks to barely see the top of the lighthouse. Dulang even lay on his back on the ground, so as to feel the grandeur of this lighthouse in a special way.
"You two are travelers from out of town, aren't you? Travelers are becoming more and more unruly these days, and you rowed the boat on the dock from the other side?" Just as the two of them were carefully observing the behemoth in front of them, an old voice suddenly came from behind them.
The two of them were shocked and turned back suddenly. After months of hard training, the two have become more sensitive to potential crises than before. But now, the two of them were unaware of being sneaked behind them and the two still didn't notice it, which made Durang and Lavis look at each other with a look of wariness and shock. Durang and Lavis both took a fighting stance at the same time, and looked at the inexplicable extra person with a cautious expression.
But soon, both of them put away their postures at the same time, because the two of them realized that it was not difficult to see from the clothes of the person in front of them that he should be the caretaker of this magnificent lighthouse, because the caretaker of each lighthouse unified on the continent had a badge carved with the shape of the lighthouse he was guarding on his chest, and that badge was hanging on the left chest of the person who came.
The man in front of him was wearing only a simple light blue jacket, long brown hair was simply tied behind his head with a hairband, and although he looked old, he still had a pair of eyes as sharp as an eagle. At this time, these eyes were looking at Du Lang and the two with some unkindness. The two of them couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat, imagine that if it was the enemy who appeared, then the two of them would have died a long time ago.
Du Lang scratched his head a little embarrassed, and said embarrassedly: "Yes, Mr. Warden, we thought it was an abandoned ship at the time, so we..."
"Forget it~ Forget it, just use it, that guy won't be able to come back today anyway, but you remember, tie the boat to that bolt when you leave, tonight - there will be a rainstorm, I don't want to help that kid build a new boat to cross the river!" I saw the old man who watched the tower wave his hand, interrupted Du Lang's words and muttered a few words, then opened the door under the lighthouse and walked in.
