952. Asking for directions

Arvid looks young and joking, always speaking with an offbeat self-deprecation.

Many magicians were skilled in refining potions, and their actual age was difficult to distinguish by their faces, and Surdak didn't think he was a young man who had just graduated from the Academy of Magic.

All space magicians need to join the Astrologer's Guild, which is subordinate to the Magician Guild but has its own system.

Not all space magicians can enter the astrologers, they only absorb the elite space magicians, and the astrologer union has built teleportation halls in the capitals of the provinces of the Grimm Empire, which are only open to magicians and high-level nobles, and have only one characteristic, that is, 'expensive'.

The cost of each teleportation will have a feeling of cutting meat for ordinary nobles.

Therefore, the benefits of the magicians in the astrologer's union are top-notch, and every astrologer is very rich.

The magician Arvid asked Surdak to help him up, and Surdak folded a blanket behind him so that he could lie comfortably on it, so that the wound on his chest would not be put under more pressure.

Surdak lifted the curtain of the tent a little to let in the cool breeze of the summer night.

"You're the most caring noble lord I've ever met!"

Arvid's words were full of gratitude.

"I'm just used to taking care of the wounded, I'm a paladin after all." Surdak came out of the tent and sat on a wooden pier outside the tent, and when he saw Samira sitting on the branch of a tree for the night, he beckoned to her and motioned for her to rest for a while.

Samira pulled up a hammock like a fishing net directly on the trunk of the tree and hung herself neatly from the tree, looking like a cocoon formed by insects among the leaves.

The two-headed ogre was lying on a flat rock, with a log resting on his head, and was always snoring loudly when he slept.

If there are enemies around, you probably don't need to probe, just follow the snoring and touch it, and you can serve this small camp.

The cliff wall is covered with some very wet moss, these moss clinging to the rock wall, there is not much soil in the root system to absorb a lot of water, this water from the rock wall little by little, condensed into water droplets continue to fall to the bottom of the cliff, so under this cliff actually gathered a small pool, this pool is hidden in the stone crevice, just enough for Thea to lie in it.

Before going to bed, Thea carried a pebble the size of a basin to the edge of the pool, and she lay in the pool, but she was holding the smooth pebble in both hands, and resting her head on it, and her long green algae-like hair spread out, If there was still moonlight, the picture must be beautiful.

It's a pity that this is a dry cloth plane, and there are only a few light yellow ribbons in the night sky......

Seeing Surdak looking up at the night sky, the magician Arvid also looked down the gap in the tent towards the night sky.

Although it is a woodland between the mountains, the trees next to the cliff wall are not so dense, and you can see the dark red night sky very comfortably, which can make people feel very oppressive after a long time.

"Ju said that those are the turbulence of time and space, which is wrapped in countless collapsing planes, full of all kinds of ancient ruins, ruins, a large number of space-time rifts, space-time storms, and it is the home of space-time migratory beasts, and only they can live in that sinister place......"

The Elder Wizard explained to Surdak.

"It turns out that this is the ...... of space-time turbulence"

Arvid Magician continued, "My mentor often opened portals to pick up trash over there, but he could pick up trash in the turbulence of the plane. ”

"Picking up trash?" Surdak asked repeatedly, confused.

"Yes! The various ruins that are abandoned in the space-time turbulence will always leave something, but if you want to go to the space-time turbulence, the most basic requirement is to be able to see through the space-time rift, otherwise you may walk over there, and your body will be cut into several sections by the free time rift. ”

Arvid smiled and explained to Surdak.

"It's dangerous over there?" Surdak asked curiously.

"It's safe compared to the Exotic Star Boundary, you probably don't know how terrifying the Star Beasts over there are, they specialize in hunting Void creatures...... Fear of the Void, Predator ......"

The magician Arvid told Surdak a lot about the starfield.

"Did you bring out the materials for building the temporary teleportation circle?" Wizard Arvid asked Surdak.

Surdak pulled out a chest from his magical fanny pack, threw it at the tent door with a clatter, and said, "Well, everything you can collect is in this box." ”

"Please lighten ......"

The half-elven archer who hung himself from the tree moved his half-pointed ears slightly......

……

The next day,

With the blessing of the 'Divine Blessed Body', the mental state of the magician Arvid has also recovered a lot.

He sat down on a rock outside the tent, pointed to a map of the area of the Dry Cloth Plane, circled the ambiguous area southwest of Mukuso, and said, "This is the Grovet Ridge, from here we are going to Hatangada Town?" ”

Surdak looked up and asked, "How is that town?" ”

The magician Arvid immediately came to his senses, and with some difficulty, he took the glass of water and took a sip of water to moisten his throat.

For him, this slight swallowing can also make him ache for a long time.

But that still didn't stop him from wanting to chat.

"The farther away from Mukuso City, the weaker the ruling power of Lord Macdonnell, the original management here is okay, many nobles are willing to go to this rich small plane to open up their territory, but with the independence here, the first batch of nobles who came to open up the plane have left one after another, and those who remain are all those who are reluctant to abandon their family business here, and some are taking advantage of the opportunity to take advantage and those who have no financial ability to leave here."

"Lord MacDonnell has drawn a large number of garrisons from almost all parts of the Gampo plane in order to occupy a city in the southern region of Tarapakant, but unfortunately he doesn't realize who he is facing."

He sighed softly.

"He always thought that after the plane war started, the lords of Bena Province would have nothing to do with those brainless Hells Dark Legions, and even less could they do anything about a lord like him who occupied a plane......"

"It's ridiculous...... When the swordsmen arrived in the city, they found that the army they had built up at great expense was no different from the armies of other lords. ”

Surdak didn't want to hear the mage Arvid spray these lords like a machine gun, he was a lord himself.

"We're going to stay in that town for a while until you're healed, and then we'll find a way to get out of here." Surdak said to him.

Samira took a crisp branch and popped up from the distant woodland, jumped lightly on the rock, came to Surdak's side, threw him the branch full of small vermilion fruits, glanced around, and said:

"They're still looking for us ......"

"The Dark Mages of the Dark Magic Order?" Surdak asked.

"Hmm!" Samira replied.

Surdak patted his forehead and said to the two-headed ogre next to him, who was about to get up to get some food:

"Gulitham, let's pack up and get ready to get out of here......"

The two-headed ogre immediately helped Surdak uproot the tent and covered the campfire with a few rocks.

The group walked along the cliff all the way to the west.

……

Hiking through the Grove Forest on the surface of the Gampoo Plane may be a dangerous thing for ordinary people, and it may be an experience for the academy students in the Warrior Academy, but for the Surdak team, it is really just walking.

There is not a single demonic beast in this mountain range, one mountain is connected to another, and there is no end in sight.

Surdak carried a water gathering rune board, so he didn't need to think about drinking water at all, and he had a lot of marching rations in his pocket, but this was not needed at all, and the two-headed ogre would not let go of the edible prey in the forest.

Occasionally, Surdak would cross the Void Gate and return to Puswoop Mountain, where there was a large stockpile of red ant jerky, and occasionally kill a salamander in a lava mine to improve his diet.

The only trouble is the magician Avid, Surdak specially made him a chair-like tool, let him sit on it, and then tie it with a cable tie to avoid falling off, on the other side of the chair is a double shoulder strap that can be carried on the shoulder, so he carried the magician directly behind him, all the way over the mountains and mountains.

It's a little heavier, but for a second-turn powerhouse like Surdak, it can't be regarded as a burden at all.

Most of the time, the two-headed ogre carries the load, but Surdak will insist on carrying it on his back for half a day, trying to share the burden with the ogre.

On the tenth day, Surdak's team headed west along an unknown river valley.

Thea likes places with rivers, at least she can soak in the water in the morning and evening, and the other benefit of walking along the river valley is that the team can eat grilled fish.

Along the way, it was Samira who was exploring the way.

She stood on a boulder in a river valley, glanced at the river in front of her, quickly jumped down, turned and ran back.

"What did you find?" Surdak paused and asked.

"There's an adventuring group camping by the river, shall we go around it?" Samira said.

Surdak glanced at this lush mountain range and said, "You can't even see half a demonic beast here, how can there be an adventure group...... Could it be the experience team of a nearby town? ”

"Let's go over and have a look, maybe we can exchange some useful information."

He added.

……

Several brand-new tents were stationed along the river, and a group of young men and women frolicked along the river, looking like they were fishing.

There is a bonfire on the beach by the river, and a few river fish are pierced on the branches of trees, planted diagonally in the sand, and baked next to the fire.

There was also an iron pot on top of the campfire, in which some food was boiled.

Two girls squatted next to the campfire and cooked the ingredients.

There were also a few young men who came out of the woodland by the river, carrying a bundle of twigs on their shoulders, wearing leather armor, swords at their waists, and daggers tied to their legs.

Surdak led Samira along the riverbank, fearing that his whereabouts would be exposed, and the two-headed ogre did not follow with Thea and Avid, but hid in the woodland behind.

Before Surdak appeared, he took off his demonic pattern and replaced it with the half-new salamander leather armor he usually wore.

Samira also put away the 'Demon Serpent's Fang' Demon Pattern Construct and the Heavenly Strike Bow, but no matter how the two of them restrained their aura, it was difficult for them to become ordinary people.

"Hey, can we exchange some information around here?" Surdak waved his hand from afar and shouted to the group of young men in the river.

The young men in the river straightened up and looked at the men and women who suddenly appeared in the distance.

Men are muscular and explosive, while women are slender and well-proportioned.

"Of course!" The young captain of the team stepped forward and spoke.

"We're an adventuring party from Mukuso, and we want to cross the Grovet Mountains to the town of Hatangada to the west." Surdak first introduced his origins, and then asked the other party, "Where are you from?" ”

When they heard that they had come from the city of Mukuso, the young people were a little surprised, as if a little incredulous, so someone said:

"Why don't you take the big road and climb over the Grove Ridge, you can figure it out......"

Surdak scratched his head and said directly: "I wanted to see what I could gain in this mountain, maybe I could encounter a demonic beast or something......"

Before he could finish his sentence, he was interrupted:

"Where did you get the news, there were no demonic beasts here for a long time, and this place is only suitable for simple training."

Young people are always like this, and they like to gossip when they feel familiar with a few words.

"Are you going to Hatangada?" A young girl said.

“…… Then you are going wrong, you should be wrong, the town of Hatangada is northwest of here, and you can see an avenue when you walk out from here, and you can reach there by walking along the avenue all the way north. The young girl, with her long legs, jumped lightly on a boulder and pointed to the woodland across the valley.

The young captain stepped forward and took the initiative to say, "This is very close to the town of Takkale, if you want to go further north to the town of Bansk, Takkale is the place to go. ”

"Banske Town?" Surdak repeated suspiciously.

The young captain smiled and said, "Many adventure parties like to go there, it is located on the edge of the plane, where you can see a lot of earth-based demonic beasts and rock Gaolun. ”

"Oh, we just want to go over there." Surdak said.

"I think we can go to the town of Takkale to replenish some supplies...... Surdak then said to Samira.

"Thank you for the information, we have come all the way over the mountains, but we haven't encountered any magical beasts, but fortunately we have met a lot of wild beasts, and our hunting skills are also ......"

As he spoke, Surdak took out a magic sealing box from his magic waist bag, opened the box, and there was some fresh meat that could not be eaten, and he selected some to give to the group of young people.

Then he said, "You can soak the meat in the stream for half a day, so that it will get rid of the blood and smell in it, thank you for the news, and I wish you a good journey." ”

The young captain gladly accepted Surdak's gift and said happily: "This is what every Takkale should do......
