Chapter Eighty-Four: The Same Event
Horst beckoned, and after the boulder was blown to pieces, everyone quickly left the Summoner Canyon. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
"The current situation is beyond our control. It's easy to dodge with open guns, but it's hard to defend against hidden arrows, so in any case, it's better to go to the nearest outpost. Horst took the map from Mo Xunyun's hand and pointed to a place above it.
This is the Rams Mountains, although it cannot be easily known to outsiders, but the Nas Empire still has outposts here.
Horst and the others summed up again, and decided to cross the forest plain in front of them, and the outpost was at the end of the forest plain.
Without thinking about what had happened before, everyone walked in the forest as fast as they could.
The forest plain is not large, but the roads are intricate, and there are more or less half-buried gray-white stones beside the roads, on which are carved some characters, either hieroglyphs or cuneiform. However, the Horst Seven didn't have time to study these stones, they were all discarded by the Wizarding Era, the Epic Era, or some point in the post-mage era, and although they were of some value, they were not very great.
After walking for about two days, Horst and the others were tired and hungry, although they would use simple tents as a place to rest at night, but after all, it was a wilderness, and the physical and mental fatigue of a long journey was not something that ordinary people could bear. Even Mo Xunyun, a warrior, was a little unbearable for this tiredness.
"Uh-huh, you see, there's a camp at the exit of the forest, isn't it?" Dennis walked in the front, and faintly, he saw a few stone houses at the end of the forest.
"Yes, that's it!" Mo Xunyun nodded vigorously, "I can finally have a place to rest for a while." ā
The continental-level mage competition has been going on for nearly half a month now, and everyone has gained a lot, but they have also encountered some unknown things. For example, the two mysterious corpses, and for example, the light rain with the smell of blood, continued.
At the end of the forest was a hillside on high ground, and when everyone came out of the forest, they let out a long breath.
"Khorst? you're here too? The Kuraf outpost is the largest outpost here, capable of accommodating hundreds of people at once. "At the front of the outpost, a team, is waiting for something there. Seeing the clothes of the seven, Horst was very familiar, it was the team of the Sa family.
"It's great to meet an ally!" Dennis was a little excited, "I'm a little tired of walking for so long, always a familiar face." ā
When everyone heard this, they all laughed.
"What are you doing here, why don't you go in?" Horst was a little strange, what were the seven members of the Sa family's clan team doing outside the gate of the outpost camp.
"In the allotted room, the officer is the one who runs the outpost. Sattar pointed to a middle-aged man, with short hair, some lean, ruddy complexion, a pipe in his mouth, talking to the captain of the Sa family's team.
"The room is so set, just come to me if you have any questions, Salmae. The middle-aged man took off his pipe and knocked it a few times against the pillar of the camp gate.
"Salmer is my brother, he is the captain of our family team. "It's your turn. ā
"Hello!" The middle-aged man had already seen Horst and his party, "I am the manager of the Kulaf outpost, my name is Kulaf. ā
"Horst. Horst replied simply, when the Nas Empire arranges outposts in remote areas, they are usually named after the first administrators, and the Kulaf outpost has not been established for a long time, about seven years.
After that, Horst and Kulaf discussed the arrangement of the room, and the rest of them got to know each other, after all, both teams were from the Shenyang Empire. Either way, allies.
After deciding on the arrangement of the room, Sattar brought Horst to Salmer.
"I've heard from my brother that there is a great person in the Summoning Mage Academy, who can summon a benzene beast at the level of the first order, and also entered the summoning mage union, which is really amazing. Salmer said with some old-fashioned expression, "Meet Salmer!"
"Fortunately, I didn't expect to meet a senior here?" Horst thought Salmer would be a grade above him.
"I'm at the same level as you, but I've been staying in the middle courtyard. Salmer shook his head, signaling that Horst didn't need to call himself a senior.
"Understood. Horst nodded, he knew that the family had some privileges, such as entering the middle courtyard of the First Mage Academy, each family had a quota, so that their descendants could enter the middle courtyard at the beginning. It is clear that Salmer entered the Intermediate Court at that time.
The few of them talked a lot again, and Salmer sometimes made some jokes, which relieved everyone's fatigue for many days.
There are not many soldiers at the Kuraf outpost, mainly responsible for guarding some supplies, after all, although the Rams Mountains are blocked due to the existence of mage relics, there will still be professionals who are allowed to come and explore. Because of this, the Nas Empire will set up some outposts in the Rams Mountains to replenish these people.
In fact, Horst and the others also passed by many outposts along the way, but those outposts were too small and had been more or less occupied by people from other teams.
It was almost dusk, Horst had eaten, walked out of the camp gate, looked at the sunset in the distance, and sighed a little.
The location of the Kurav post is good and condescending. The height here, at least a few tens of meters above the forest level, can be seen patches of green canopy, swaying in the wind.
"What are you thinking?" said Sattar after Horst at some point, "Did you encounter anything strange along the way?"
"I'll tell you the truth, we've had a lot of strange things along the way. Salmer also appeared, also looking at the sunset in the distance, "It seems that something is changing." ā
"Yes. Horst nodded, "I'm sure you've seen those mysterious corpses too." ā
"Yes, the first time we saw each other, it was the evening when we teleported into the Rams Mountains. We were exploring a stone house when we heard a strange noise and found a corpse hanging from a cross on the stone roof. "At that time, we were terrified, we met other teams on the way, and after asking, we didn't get the answers we wanted. ā
"Is it the costume of the Zaga Empire?" Horst wanted to confirm something, "was it not long after he died, or just a few minutes after he died?"
"Yes, you found out too?" Salmer was a little excited, "we can't be sure what caused these conditions, but there is no particularly good way to dig deeper, and this is the Mage Competition, so we had to bury the body." ā
"Sattar, what about the other teams?" Horst asked, asking if the bodies of members of the Zachar Empire had been found in the other teams that had come into contact with them.
"Well, it's a similar situation. Sattar understood what Horst was trying to ask, so he nodded and said, "There are several teams that have encountered this situation, and there are three teams of seven people in each team. If all of them were attacked, there would be twenty-one mysterious corpses. ā
"By the way, there is another situation, these people's teleportation stones are gone. Salmer seemed to remember something again.
However, Horst listened to it in his ears like five thunderbolts.
"All the teleportation stones are gone?" Horst was shocked, he knew that the teleportation stones could be used to construct a teleportation array, and it seemed that something was going to happen, "Is there something that needs to be teleported out, or teleported in?"
This is the Rams Mountains, and the whole mountain range has seals and enchantments. These seals and enchantments cover not only the entire Rams Mountains, but also some of the surrounding areas.
If someone tries to break into the Rams Mountains, the seals and enchantments will vibrate, attracting troops patrolling all over the Rams Mountains. However, if you use a teleportation stone or a teleportation array, you won't.
Teleportation is a force that belongs to space, and it can cross seals and enchantments without having any effect on seals and enchantments.
Suspicion filled the hearts of the three Horst, and they were a little uncomfortable.
"Do the people at the outpost know?" Horst asked, "and if Kuraf knew, he would have been able to inform the outside world." ā
As long as someone from the outside world knows about the situation in the Rams Mountains at this time, they can send people in to rescue them.
"The teleportation circle between the Rams Mountains and the outside world is only opened once every three months, so it can't be sent out. Sattar shook his head, "We have already filed this matter at the various posts on the way. ā
"It's a bit of a coincidence. Three months, the duration of the Mage Competition, it seems that it is also such a long time", Horst dispelled some thoughts, "In the future, it is better to be careful. ā
"The rain a few days ago, the smell was unbearable. The role of the magic sound stone here is not very large, and it can only occasionally contact the outside world, and the voice is not clear, so it is difficult to ask what is going on. Salme shook his head, "The news from the family side is difficult to convey. I really don't know how long this mage competition will torture us. ā
Horst and Sattar both nodded when they heard this. It's not a mage tournament at all, it's just a game.
A game where death and survival are competitive, and no one knows if they will die inexplicably like the members of the Zachar Empire's warband.
"By the way, how many days are you going to stay here? The supplies stored at the Kuraf outpost are enough to support a team of hundreds of people for half a year. Saleme asked Horst, "It took us a lot of time to cross this forested plain. ā
"Three days, after all, everyone has been a little tired in the past half a month. ā
