The two of them came down from the hill, and they were so unfamiliar with their surroundings that they couldn't tell where they were, and after discussing it with Agrian, he couldn't help. In the concept www.biquge.info of the Great Devil, this is still the territory of the Elven Immortal Empire, and I don't know anything about the "Northern Territory" and "Canal" mentioned by Sean.

Sean thinks about it, the empire was only established by Ivan the Great more than four hundred years ago, and then he appointed the then Snow Wolf Duke as one of the four guardian dukes of the empire, so he had the concept of "northern territory", and the Grand Canal running through the north and south of the empire was only dug in the late reign of Ivan the Great, and at that time Agrian's soul had been sealed underground for nearly six hundred years, and it was not surprising that he didn't know at all.

Then it can only be a matter of luck.

The two men looked at the sun and made a general discerning direction, heading towards the plains to the east, where if they could come across a village or town, possibly buying horses and inquiring about the route to the canal.

It took two days to come across a small village.

For this, Sean and Helen are mentally prepared. Before, when they had just climbed out of the cave and were still at the top of the mountain, they looked around at the highest point, but they couldn't see any people. Compared to the rich western and southern borders of the empire, the northern frontiers, which have been invaded by half-giant marauders for many years, are still a little more desolate.

So the two had long expected that they would have to walk a long way to encounter people, but they didn't expect that the village in front of them, which they had so hard to find, would be so poor that they didn't even have a horse. The two of them talked about it, and bought the only two donkeys in the village from the village chief at the high price of a golden dragon.

Riding on the gray donkey that walked up and down with small square steps, Sean shrugged helplessly at Helen: "Although it is slow, it is better than walking." ”

Helen didn't mind at all, the girl stroked the fine hair on the gray donkey's head, and looked elated: "It's okay, it's good, it's the first time I've ridden a donkey, you see how cute they are!"

Sean looked at the old donkey with drooping eyelids, serious wear and tear on his lower teeth, and almost all the hair on his tail, which had nothing to do with "cuteness", and bowed his head and said nothing.

But Miss Helen was obviously in high spirits, and she first hummed at the sunset, then turned back sharply, and said to Sean, who was half a donkey behind her and shaking his head to her singing, "Anyway, there is nothing to do, let's race donkeys!"

Sean's upper body shook, so that he could hang off the donkey. For people who are used to riding horses, donkeys have short legs, long bodies, and small strides, and the feeling when riding is obviously different from that of horses.

"Uh, Miss Rose. ”

"Huh?"

"Look at these two old ...... Well, donkeys in their twilight years, they have worked hard all day long, in the mill for most of their lives, and their physical fitness is not as good as before, and they have long been accustomed to circular motion, and now let them run in a straight line with the two of us, I'm afraid...... I'm afraid it's a bit difficult for a strong donkey. ”

"Well, you have a point. Helen nodded, her slender white fingers slowly running down her left shoulder over her delicately proportioned collarbone, thoughtfully.

"What are you thinking?" asked Sean curiously.

Helen didn't answer, but suddenly began to chant a series of incantations that Sean had heard before, and at the same time, her hands began to draw a series of magic sigils in the air like lightning.

Sean was startled, and hurriedly pulled out the forbidden blood sword, and at the same time summoned the water shield, and put on a defensive posture on the donkey, his eyes were like electricity, and quickly swept towards the suspicious area around him.

But he looked around for a long time, but he didn't find any movement, and when he looked at Helen in surprise, he saw that the girl's hands were parted, and layers of dazzling dazzling circles of light suddenly appeared on the two donkeys, and then the two old gray donkeys became excited, shaking their heads and tails, holding their chests and hoofs, and even their bodies were bigger.

Sean looked at the mutant donkey with his crotch twisting his hooves on the ground, and his nose was spewing rough breath, and he couldn't laugh or cry, he knew all these spells cast by Helen, and even experienced them personally when fighting Hydra and Dwarves, all of which were blessing magic with extremely obvious effects, Titan Anthem increased strength, Jungle Dance improved agility, and surpassed the limit to improve endurance, these spells worked together to turn these two teenage old donkeys into ferocious beasts comparable to swamp bison.

Helen looked at her "masterpiece" and smiled with satisfaction, raised her hand and pointed to the distant hillside and said to Sean, "Now it's okay, let's see who runs under the highest tree on that hillside first." ”

"Bet on what?" Sean's juvenile heart was also mobilized by the girl.

"If you win, let you kiss it, if you lose......"

"Driving !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

Sean didn't listen to what Helen said at all, shook the reins with all his might, clamped his legs around the donkey's belly, pulled out a short wooden stick from the bracelet, and slapped it on the old donkey's ass under the crotch like lightning. The gray donkey, which was covered with a blessing aura and could not hold back the surging power in his body, howled, and jumped out almost with all four hooves in the air.

Helen watched in a daze as Sean swept past her like crazy, and was stunned before she reacted, and she also took out her mace and hit the donkey's ass and chased after it.

"Hey, I haven't finished yet, I haven't started yet, you can't be so foolish!"

"Anyway, if I win, let me kiss it!"

"You think beautifully, look at me frost and frost!"

"Ahhhhh

......

When buying a donkey, Sean asked the village chief about the location of the nearest canal wharf, and the two laughed and chased after each other, and arrived at the wharf before sunset. At this time, it is a relatively busy time on the wharf, and the river is not particularly wide, and occasionally one or two galleys will come to the shore to unload their cargo on the quay and pick up the passengers who have traveled far.

This canal starts from Wolf's Heart City, the capital of the north, and connects many towns along the natural waterway to the outside of the Imperial Capital Ligriffon's Heart, and then continues south, passing through Linghu City, the capital of the south, to the north shore of the Emerald Sea, and joins the Emerald Sea from Seabreeze Town. More than 400 years ago, in order to consolidate his power and facilitate the transportation of taxes and military resources, Ivan the Great mobilized the strength of the whole country to build it when the empire's economic and military strength was in full swing.

At that time, the imperial family mobilized a large number of people and troops, and almost all the earth magicians in the territory were mobilized to help, and it took more than 70 years until the reign of the fourth emperor of the empire, Paul II, to complete the construction

Since then, the canal has served as a bridge between the north and south of the empire and the central royal control area. When the Imperial Prime Minister asked Paul II for the name of the canal after it was completed, Paul II, who was already in his last years, bowed his head and pondered for a long time before slowly saying:

"Just call it, River of Miracles. ”
