Chapter 131: Summoning the Mount
After Sam left, Xia Duo and Uke chatted a few more words and exchanged information about Hexi Village, after which Uke gathered his team and prepared to go to Hexi Village to solve the mission.
Unlike when dealing with orcs, because the enemy was only goblins, the Ukh team only brought a shield, which was carried by Uke himself, and the other main weapons were all spears, of course, one-handed swords, bows and arrows were also essential.
Xia Duo also chose a one-handed sword in the barracks, and now because of the awakening of his bloodline, his physique has long been different from what it used to be, and a one-handed sword weighing 5 or 6 pounds is easy to hold in his hand.
He swung his sword in all directions at random, adjusted his grip, and then put it in its sheath and hung it around his waist.
"Captain Uk, let's go!"
"Good!" Uke gave an order,
"Let's go!" …… The western part of Savile Town, or also known as the civilian area, the temple area. Most of the ordinary people in the town live in this area, and of course it is not called a slum, and it is impossible for a real poor person to live in the town.
The temple of the Lord of Radiance is located in the easternmost part of the West District, facing the central square, and the first thing Xia Duo and the uk team see when they cross the central square is the main hall of the temple, as well as the civilians who occasionally enter and exit the door.
After circumventing the distance for some distance, Xia Duo and the others continued west from the side of the temple, through the low residential area, to the west gate of the westernmost part of the town.
Not far from the gate is the Wolfburg River, a quaint stone bridge across the river, the bridge deck can accommodate two carriages and school Xia Duo when he first came to Savile Town, is to walk this stone bridge, but when I first arrived in the other world, it was difficult to calm down, and I didn't have the heart to look at this stone bridge carefully.
Seeing it again, Chateau immediately noticed something unusual. It stands to reason that the stone bridge should be made of stone, which is fine, but it will not look like a bridge like a stone.
And this stone bridge, through the few traces left by time, Xia Duo noticed that this stone bridge is clearly formed in one piece!
There is probably no better explanation than magic. Stepping on the already mottled bridge deck, Shado asked Uk,
"Do you know the history of this stone bridge?"
"History? I don't know much about this, but there have been some rumors about this bridge in the territory that are difficult to distinguish between true and false. ”
"What rumors?" Although Uk didn't understand why Xia Duo didn't even know this common sense, he still explained it for him,
"Some people are gifts from elves, some people are summoned by the first lords, and some people are built by dwarves, and no one knows whether it is true or not."
"Haven't you been, Lord Lord?"
"Who knows! However, I don't think this was summoned by the original lord. In the end, the black voice was already faint, and Xia Duo didn't ask again, but he also felt that it was unlikely that it was summoned by the first lord, otherwise why not admit it?
Xia Duo didn't care who built the bridge, he cared about how it was built, and if it was really built by magic, then how could this magic be realized?
While Xia Duo was making up for it, he had already followed the footsteps of Zhongrao to the west bank of the Wolfburg River, and the scenery on the west bank was particularly beautiful, with endless plains and hills, and villages scattered on it.
The most eye-catching thing is an evergreen forest in the northwest, which is the closest to Xia Duo and the others.
Without thinking that it should be the destination this time, Xia Duo pointed to the northwest direction and asked Uk,
"That's it?"
"Yes!" Uke suggested,
"Let's go directly to the woods, everyone in Hexi Village should be there!" Shado had no dissent.
…… From the west bank of the Wolfburg River to the olive groves, there are no stone roads in the town, all country dirt roads, and the water moistened by the snow, a step will make a muffled pop.
The mud dragged Xia Duo's boots to prevent it from leaving, and soon Xia Duo felt that his feet were wet, and the air was not completely warm, and his feet were cold, and the whole person was shivering.
Glancing at the people of the Uk team, their boots are not as good as Xiaduo, and it is estimated that this is not comfortable at this time.
Xia Duo suddenly felt that he was also a little stupid, he had to walk by himself, and now he has become a level 1 mage, although he has not learned to summon mounts for the time being, but he has the scroll with him!
It's just a few dozen gold coins, and for him now, he can't mean it, which may not match his net worth, but it means that Xia Duo can still afford it.
Greeting Uk next to him, Xia Duo walked outside the group, took out the [Summoning Mount] scroll from the scroll box, and activated it with ease.
In a hazy shimmer, a sturdy forest suddenly appeared out of thin air, and then paced a few steps obediently, approaching Xia Duo.
"Wow-" The soldiers of the Uks let out a neat exclamation, they may have seen a mage riding a horse, but rarely have they seen a mage summon a live horse from nothing in front of them!
Xia Duo ignored their exclamations, and when the forest horse knelt down on the front legs, he jumped on the horse's back with his horse's head in his arms, and suddenly a comfortable and relaxed sense of satisfaction arose.
It didn't take any words or gestures to get the sturdy forest horse to grasp any of Shado's instructions, and he ran off with a clatter.
"Captain Uk, I'll go ahead and have a look!" Without waiting for Uk to answer, he drove his mount away.
…… Dada-
Xia Duo sat on the back of a horse, as if sitting on the clouds, so comfortable and soft, if possible, he even wished to stay on the back of the horse forever in the future, and did not want to come down.
This also makes Xia Duo full of affection for the person who created this magic! It was too far to the west, and it would have taken nearly half an hour to walk, but Xia Duo arrived in a few minutes.
It is really an artificially planted olive grove, a row of filial piety, neatly aligned, through which Xia Duo saw order and civilization.
As he had come without concealment, someone had already greeted him from this side of the woods, and an old man with a middle-aged man came to Chadoma and saluted respectfully.
"Is this Master Mage here to help us investigate the goblins?" Xia Duo snorted, did not get off the horse, and asked directly on the horse,
"What's the situation now? Are the goblins still coming? ”
"Back to Da Rao, after cleaning it up yesterday, there are goblins coming over today, and they are still gathering, I don't know when it will hit the olive grove." The old man replied.
And the men behind him glanced in the direction of Xia Duo from time to time, and they had already seen the marching Uk team.
Xia Duo also looked back, and they seemed to have quickened their speed, maybe they would be there soon, so he asked again,
"How many people are here in your village? Where are the goblins now? The old man replied,
"There are 56 adults in our village here, and the goblins are now gathering on the north side of the olive grove, but there are also sporadic people running into the olive grove." As soon as he heard that there were so many people, Xia Duo knew that this mission should have little to do with killing monsters, and the real task was to find out the reason for the goblin movement.
Xia Duo pointed to the old man who looked like the village chief and commanded,
"You stay here and wait for the soldiers behind, and let him take me to the north first." The old man did not dare to refuse, and hurriedly told his son to listen to the master's words, and then stayed where he was and waited, watching the two leave.
