Chapter 319: Fragrant Country
The scorching sun hung in the sky, and even as time passed, he would not move his position in the slightest.
The sound of dawn sails on the seas.
"Is it over here?" Jason looked to the side, the endless and unchanging green swamp.
Turning his head and asking.
Xia Daiti looked at the map, then looked around, and then calculated the speed and time of their travel.
"If nothing else, it should be here, and even if it deviates, it won't deviate far."
Hearing this, Arka nodded, then patted the rudder lightly.
The sound of dawn slowly began to turn, leaning towards the shore.
"Alright, guys, get ready, we're going over."
The people on deck were already ready.
Bororo jumped straight off the deck, and Matricea saw Bororo's figure and followed with a smile.
"Let's go too." Arka said as he walked down with Shadetti.
Ride the Swift with the crowd.
Soon came to the swamp.
Looking at the "land" made up of vines and plants less than a meter below the water.
"There's really no difference." Jason looked at it and said.
A dark shadow shrouded the ship, and everyone looked up.
It was Urullius who soared through the air.
Now Urullius is bigger, and with the addition of her tail, her body length has reached 4 meters.
Coupled with the spread of the wingspan, it has begun to have the intimidation of a dragon.
"Alas~" Looking at the crystal dragon that was soaring freely in the sky, Jason sighed.
The bigger she is, the more she can eat.
Although the Crystal Dragon does not feed exclusively on crystals, it mainly eats a variety of food and meat.
But it must be supplemented by all kinds of gemstones in order to grow well.
With such a large size, even if it is eaten as a snack, the consumption is very terrifying.
The crystals Jason had bought were almost gone.
Listening to Jason's sigh, Arka patted Jason on the shoulder next to him.
"Come on."
As Xia Daiti made out the direction, they began to move forward.
……
Another few days, on this endless swamp, slowly moving forward.
"How long will it take?" Jason couldn't help but ask.
"If I didn't go in the wrong direction, it wouldn't have been a day." Arka wasn't quite sure.
Hearing this, Juan Lu asked, "What if you go in the wrong direction?" ”
"Hmm...... That's not a guarantee. ”
While everyone on the boat was chatting, Simon's voice came.
"Be careful, there's someone in the distance."
Hearing this, everyone instantly became vigilant.
"Local soldiers." Simon said after confirming the stranger's identification number.
Those in the distance, whether they were wearing the weapons they held in their hands, or the kind of fish-pickling mounts they rode underneath them.
They were exactly the same as they had seen in the Emerald Fortress and Floating Ball Island.
Hearing this, the vigilance of the crowd was slightly lightened, and it only remained as necessary as necessary.
After a while, the soldiers seemed to spot them as well.
They all held their weapons in their hands, a few hundred meters away from Arka, looked at them and shouted, "Who are you? Outsiders are not welcome here, so get out of here. ”
The voice was not polite at all, full of hostility.
It was as if they were going to attack them at any moment if they didn't leave.
And the sharp blades of the trident weapons in the hands of those soldiers already had a little glimmer.
This means that they will attack Arka and the others at any time, and it will definitely not be a deterrent or a joke.
Seeing this, Arka reached out and flipped it over.
Something carved from some precious gem like a flower, appeared in his hand.
It exudes a fresh floral fragrance and floats in the air.
Decorative flowers, which also exude a faint glow.
Seeing this flower, the patrol soldiers in the distance immediately put away their weapons and hurriedly swam over.
After coming over, the captain who had spoken before hurriedly got off his peculiar climbing fish.
A slight look at Arka's outfits, as well as the back of the line. A deep bow.
"I'm sorry to offend my friends."
"Are you going to Fragrant Fragrance?"
Looking at the respectful attitude of the soldier captain, it was obvious that he seemed to know Arka and the others.
"That's right, we're really going to the Land of Fragrance." Arka nodded.
Hearing this, the captain of the soldiers raised his head and said with a smile, "If you don't mind, let us lead your friends there." ”
"Of course, if not troublesome."
"No trouble, no trouble." The captain of the soldiers hurriedly said with a smile.
Then he hurriedly waved his hand at the soldiers behind him.
The soldiers hurriedly rode over on the climbing fish.
Behind the creeping fish, a chain of some kind of water appeared, which was attached to the bow of the Feiyan.
The patrol consists of a total of six people.
Including the captain, the six of them used their remaining mounts to drag the Feiyan forward quickly.
With these 6 climbing fish to drag, the speed increases significantly.
Although the Feiyan has an exaggerated sailing speed, it is due to the special environment of this place.
The Swift can only be like a normal boat.
"You seem to know us?" Jason asked as he came over to the captain of the soldier they had spoken to earlier.
"Of course, thank you very much for your help, the Verdant Fortress has already sent you the process of helping."
Sure enough, it was exactly what they thought.
In this way, everyone chatted and moved forward.
It's a big step up in speed.
Soon there were more people coming and going.
Most of them are similar to merchants.
They used larger, long, giant sea fish like the one used by Madru as camels. Large wooden planks in a concave shape are dragged and goods are transported.
These horse-drawn carriages on the water come and go throughout the swamp.
Arka looked at this scene with some doubts.
Isn't that too much?
Not just the people who transported the goods, but also all sorts of ordinary civilians, as well as some people who were obviously more precious in their clothes and sat in the water carriages, were all here, and they were mostly in the same direction.
"Why is this so lively?" Jason asked, a little confused.
There are so many people in this place before you see the so-called fragrant country.
"Don't you know? It's almost time for the Bloom Festival, our biggest festival of the year.
Everyone is preparing for the festival. ”
Hearing this, everyone nodded knowingly.
Although they had learned about this festival from the Emerald Fortress before, they didn't expect it to be so grand.
Before I saw the city, I could smell a fresh and elegant fragrance of flowers from afar.
As soon as this floral scent enters their noses, it makes people feel relaxed.
"It smells so good." Julia sat on the boat and couldn't help but say.
"yes, that's the scent of flowers from the scent of fragrance." The captain of the soldier said with a smile.
I can hear the pride in his words.
With the floral fragrance, it becomes more and more fresh and elegant.
It's also getting richer.
Everyone finally saw the so-called fragrant land.
The huge flower that rose into the sky attracted all their attention.
The height of the flower is twenty or thirty meters high.
The emerald green rhizomes and green leaves, pale pink with white and a hint of blue are tightly closed.
The huge flowers will give the Arka them enough shock.
From a distance, the edge of the island is almost covered with all kinds of flowers, large and small.
Huge flowers have even replaced the island's big trees.
As they got closer, the more they could appreciate the size of the flower in the center.
"What is that flower?" Jason couldn't help but ask.
The huge flower was so conspicuous that it was hard not to wonder if Arka.
"That's the symbol of the flower fairy, the flower of the sky." The captain of the soldiers said reverently.
The symbol of the flower fairy.
Probably not, that's the means used by the flower fairy to recover.
Arka looked at the flower and couldn't help but think.
But wouldn't it be a little too blatant?
After all, it is the resurrection of a god.
Just blatantly reveal the means of their own recovery to the outside.
Are you really not afraid of having enemies?
Forget it, what do you want to do with this.
Arka threw these thoughts out of his head, and did nothing for himself.
It's better to ignore these god's things, and I'm just a little shrimp and the others.
Silently thought.
With the help of the captain of the soldiers, they docked the ship on the island.
"Do you need me to send you a guide?" The captain of the soldier asked from the side.
"Of course, it couldn't be better."
The captain of the soldiers smiled, then waved at the soldiers behind him.
A young soldier hurriedly ran over and nodded at the captain's command.
Then came to Arka and them.
"Hello gentlemen.
My name is Lasemide. It's up to me to take you on a tour of the city, and if there's anything you don't understand or want to know, you can ask me, because I grew up in this city. ”
Hearing this, everyone nodded.
"Adults, why don't you find a place to rest first?" Lasemi suggested.
Arka nodded, "No problem." ”
The crowd walked on the island.
Every house here was just like what they had seen in the verdant fortress before.
It is almost one with nature.
The only difference is that there are no big trees on the island, and every house is a huge flower.
All kinds of flowers, all kinds of colors bloom here.
The crowd was almost full of novelty, and kept turning their heads to look around.
They were looking at the environment, the buildings and even the people of the island.
The inhabitants also looked at them with curious eyes.
You must know that this place is very xenophobic, and it is rare to see outsiders.
And every foreigner who can come to the island is a respectable person.
At least in the Church of Our Lady.
The main reason is that the appearance of the huge shark in Bororo is so piercing that you can see it from afar.
And the ones that Arka had hanging on them, and a long list of villains that followed.
A little girl wearing a garland on her head and holding a wand like a flower in her hand looks at the appearance of the Bororo shark.
Point at him with the flowers in his hands.
Poloro looked at the little girl as if he was not afraid of himself.
He opened his bloody jaw, his sharp teeth exposed, and let out a terrible roar.
"Roar!"
"Ahhhh
Bororo's sudden change startled the little girl, and she quickly ran away screaming.
"Hahahaha!" Seeing this, Bororo burst out laughing.
Matrice, who was next to her, blushed when she saw the gazes of the surrounding residents.
Two left hands hurriedly grabbed Bororo's arm and dragged him away.
The two right hands were still clapping on his left hand: "What are you doing?" How to act like a child. ”
"Haha, don't you think it's fun?"
Seeing Pololo's happy appearance, Matresa shook her head helplessly.
Hurriedly dragged Bororo and followed Arka and them.
"There are two places to stay in the Fragrant Country, do you want to live in a big house together?"
Hearing Lasemi's words, Arka nodded.
"If you can, the big house is better."
"No problem, please go this way."
With Arka, they turned a little down the street, and saw a large area of various giant flowers next to each other in the distance.
You can see that there are a lot of merchants who seem to be gathering there.
"Flower Forest, the best place to stay in the land of fragrance is this." Lasemi said.
Then he squeezed directly into the crowd and walked into the flower room.
In a few moments he dragged a girl out.
"Sister, these are distinguished guests, friends of the people of flowers. Prepare a room for them, and the church will pay for it. ”
The girl who was dragged out and was a little dissatisfied, the dissatisfaction on her face disappeared instantly when she heard this.
Hurriedly smiled and came to Arka and them.
"Ladies and gentlemen, prepare ......"
"In the best area of our house, the staggered flower forest." Lasemi said directly from the side.
His sister turned her head to look at him with a frown, then at Arka's number.
Especially looking at the long list of villains that follow behind it.
Hold yourself back and don't turn your head to notice there.
Nodding.
"No problem, come with me, guests."
As he spoke, he led everyone through the gate and came to the flower forest behind.
A large expanse of flowers, each of which is a room.
When I went deeper into the depths, I saw that more than a dozen flowers were close together, clinging to each other.
Their rooms appear to be connected.
"This is the largest room in the hotel, with 12 rooms, which can be used individually or connected."
With that, he took Arka and walked in.
The scent of flowers is different in every room.
"We are very satisfied with this place, thank you to the gardener here on my behalf." Arka turned to Rasemi and smiled.
Then he said to Lasemi: "You go and get busy yourself, we may have to rest here for a while, and then we will go shopping by ourselves, and I will trouble you to lead the way." ”
"It's my honor to lead the way for you, so I won't bother you."
With that, Lasemi smiled and left.
"How the hell is this done? That's pretty impressive, isn't it? Simon walked around the rooms.
I kept sighing.
It's not just Simon, everybody is hanging out here and there, dotting there.
Full of curiosity about these rooms.
After all, this is a room made of flowers, and I don't know how to do it.
It was a great shock for them to experience it for the first time.
The walls are like flower petals, not just looking like petals, but even touching them.
But as strong as a wall.
The lighting in the center of the hall is all provided by the stamens at the top.
Each flower grows like an electric lamp that illuminates the surroundings.
"Stools are also flowers? It's weird. ”
Poloro sat on a petal and said strangely, he was still a little unaccustomed.
Arka sat on a couch made of several petals and watched the situation around him.
"What are you thinking?"
"I was thinking about being able to make this island like this, and that huge flower in the center.
How long do you think it will take for this god, known as the flower fairy, to recover? ”
Hearing this, everyone was interested.
"I think it's going to be a long time, after all, it's a god." Bororo thought for a moment and said.
"I also think that the magic of this island is not enough to show the power of God, does it?
And if you really want to repeat it, the previous war will not be so difficult. ”
Hearing Jason's words, Arka said, "Is it possible, it's because it's going to be recovered." That's why the monsters that attract the border of life and death have begun to attack the land of spirits in the past few decades. ”
Thinking about it this way, it is really possible, and it is highly likely.
Of course, it's all just speculation.
"I also think it's not far from recovery. Our Lady is also helping, isn't she? Remember what the dwarf said earlier?
The two most powerful gods here are Our Lady and the Goddess of the Sea. ”
Simon retorted from the side.
"Yes, even the most powerful gods, even known throughout the astral realm. None of them can completely repair and stitch the whole world together. ”
Julia didn't know what she was thinking, and suddenly said.
This sentence fell silent throughout the hall.
Heavy responsibilities.
