Chapter 276: Mana Storm
The griffons flew through the thick clouds, and the temperature above them was very cold due to the night. The cold water vapor www.biquge.info of the pen & fun & pavilion quickly froze on the wings, and then was shattered by the air flow channeled by the griffin.
On the back of the griffin, there are two small houses, one in front of the other and one in the back, and the larger house in the back is for the guests.
There were more than a dozen merchants in the room, and there was also a farmer who happily returned to his seat because he had received the purple gold coin. Across from him, a young man was sitting in his seat, meditating.
There were still hours to go before the destination, and it seemed to be snowing in the sky outside. The young man suddenly felt a tremor and saw that the griffin's flight was disordered.
Immediately, a groom hurried out of the front room, and he immediately attracted everyone's attention. The groom held a mana compass in his hand, and the compass pointer that had been pointing to the destination was now beating erratically. Or even break through the shackles and break free from the compass.
"Guys, there's a mana storm ahead, and our griffons are probably going to make a detour!" the groom said hurriedly to the crowd.
"How so! Why didn't you find out beforehand!" accused a successful merchant in leather shoes, who was the first person the farmer tried to sell, with a big blue and white snake pet in his sleeve.
At each stopover during the griffon's flight, a veteran weather forecaster will be on duty to check the weather conditions in the vicinity.
"We've lost touch with them now, and we're afraid we'll have to make our own decisions. The compass in the groom's hand also has the ability to communicate over long distances. But at a glance, the current compass can't be used for any functions.
The mana storm interfered with most of the magical appendages, and the rich magical elements rushed into them, making a mess of them. Although the compass has undergone special anti-interference measures, it is now also out of order.
"We now have two options, one is a detour and the other is a return. After hearing the accusation, the groom was flustered, and he gave two ways to discuss it with everyone present.
As he spoke, he saw the magic lamp above his head begin to flicker on and off, and even the diversion magic cover outside the window was rippling.
A loud chirp came from ahead, the voice of a griffon, which saw the storm ahead and panicked.
The flapping of the wings was no longer rhythmic, and at the edge of the wings, the protective film that had been formed by using the wind system ability also appeared several holes under the interference of the mana storm.
When the group of merchants heard that they were going to return, they were not happy.
"We've paid for the ticket! Your griffons can't even walk through a mana storm. A group of people protested, and then suddenly felt unsteady under their feet.
The griffin let out a mournful roar, and in the dark night sky, a fierce fiery red magic arrow appeared in the rumbling mana storm. The magic arrow **** out from the front and hit its shoulder blade. As it rolled in pain, everyone standing was unsteady and fell into one piece.
"No! this mana storm is too violent than before, and I can't wear it!" the groom grabbed the doorknob and waved his hand repeatedly.
In fact, there had been a mana storm here since a few months ago, but none of them were as violent as this one.
As it shook, a magic lamp broke away from the thick rope on the roof, and crystal shards fell to the ground with a click. This woke up all the merchants, and they got up, looked at each other, and swallowed.
Even if they are in a hurry, they don't dare to joke with their lives.
The man stammered, "That'...... Then let's take a detour. His words were echoed by most people.
A detour is the best thing to do, except for wasting some time, but it may be dangerous to deviate from the established flight path and lose the protection of the transit site.
The groom prepares the griffin rations in advance, so the detour is not a big problem. Even if you find a low spot in the Prue Mountains, there will be enough time.
But the griffon needs to rest, and it has to land once after dawn.
"If we took a detour, we would have to stop and rest in an unguarded place. The groom explained.
As the groom explained, the young man who had been sitting firmly in the room raised his head from his contemplation. He could see through the airtight window that a multicolored glow appeared in the air around him. These rays of light rose and fell in the dark night sky, crossing countless lightning-like arcs.
Ahead lies the Prue Mountains, which reach an average altitude of several thousand meters, far exceeding the flight altitude of a griffin. The mana storm ran down one of the peaks of the Prue Mountains, just blocking the only gap in the griffon's passage through the mountains.
A short walk from the foot of the mountain here is the farmer's home, Luo Xue saw this, looked back at the farmer, and sure enough, he found that his face was pale, and he held Luo Xue's reward tightly in his hand.
In the interior of the country, the danger caused by the monster is much less, and the danger of the robber becomes particularly conspicuous, such as the conspicuous target of the griffin carrying the guests, in the eyes of the robber, it is a fragrant pie.
That's what worries the groom the most.
He had been doing this for many years, and almost every time he looked down from the flying griffin, he could see a house burning. This group of burning, killing and looting robbers are reckless in places beyond the jurisdiction of the city, and they have even set their sights on the griffons flying between cities.
They were more sensitive to the weather than the transit station, and if they wanted to make a detour, the groom had to control the griffons to dock in a place that the robbers couldn't find.
When the groom told everyone that the next rest might be dangerous, almost everyone didn't care. Only one of the young men present looked up and realized the meaning of his words.
The groom's hesitant application was seen by the merchant, and he immediately replied, "Don't worry, we're not."
The merchant seemed to know the others well, and called on everyone to show their strength and reassure the groom.
Five warriors with a fighting spirit, one archmage, two mages! The groom watched as these people pulled out their respective warrior badges and magic badges, and relaxed slightly.
Luo Xue was one of the two magicians, and he didn't want the griffin to turn around, so he stretched out his hand and casually used a second-level spell to prove himself.
Inside the house, only the farmer carrying the young birds has no strength, and he is a real ordinary person.
That's enough.
"Oh!!" the groom shouted to the griffin as he returned to the hut, and the griffon, which had been in mid-air, turned around and began to fly around the mana storm. (To be continued.) )
