105. Jungle life
The jungle of Malaga is even tougher than the elves say.
There is an endless sea of greenery, insects can be heard all night long, and when you wake up in the morning, you can touch the blueberries on the bushes when you raise your hand......
But the elves forgot to say: this is a jungle that few people usually set foot in, and there is no road in the jungle.
The jungle of Malaga during the rainy season is difficult to walk, and with every step forward, your feet sink into the soft humus soil.
When you lift your feet, water will soon seep out of your footprints......
Roy's shoes were wet and his feet were soaking white.
Claire was much more comfortable, as he wore a pair of long leather boots.
Walking through the jungle, the light leather armor on his body also made a big difference.
At least not like Roy, whose linen clothes were scratched by the thorns on the vines, and Roy was almost like a beggar now.
What's worse is that he still has the kind of scratches that are not serious, and the thorns of the vines are somewhat toxin, and the scratched wounds are itchy and painful.
Especially in the jungle, it is extremely hot, and the sweat on the wound will be even more unbearable.
"Roy, you really should buy a light leather armor."
Claire said as she walked ahead of the road with a hatchet knife in hand.
Qingxiu's face also had a smear of blood, but Claire didn't care.
He even thought that if he could leave a scar on his face, maybe he could make him look more fierce.
However, he also had no intention of taking off the leather armor on his body and lending it to Roy, because the wounds cut by those vines on his body were really painful......
Roy also regretted it a little, he knew that this was the case, and he should indeed buy a set of leather armor.
In fact, he was first worried that wearing a leather armor through the jungle would not only make him breathless, but even the whole leather armor would have a bad smell, so he decided to wear a set of linen clothes and go to the Malaga jungle to explore.
Now he's had tasted enough bitterness.
As long as the body is scratched by the thorns of those vines, it will become painful and itchy.
Roy could only ask Claire to rush ahead to clear the way, and Roy obediently followed behind Claire, carefully guarding the surrounding situation.
Every time he rested, he would use 'secondary healing' to treat his injuries, but the scratches and stabs along the way still couldn't be avoided.
At the end of each break, Roy had to find a place with a good view and follow the map to proofread where he and Claire were.
……
For Roy, life in the jungle these days is quite hard, and every day he will be covered with some scratches, and then he will be quickly healed.
There were no scars left on his body, but he was much more proficient in the 'secondary treatment technique'.
Claire also has a very fulfilling life, in addition to needing to open the way ahead, she also has to complete the sketching homework of the jungle every day, and in her spare time, she will take out the marble she picked up from her magic waist bag to carve the bust of Count Amelia.
Roy is responsible for finding food for the two of them every day, almost all of which are some jungle fruits.
The jungles of Malaga are rich in fruit, and if you look closely, you will find some delicious berries that are hard to find in Castletown.
The specialty of the Malaga jungle is the berries that grow from the tops of trees more than 20 meters high, and when ripe they have a hint of chocolate and red wine.
It took the two three days to finally find the check-in point for the first geography assignment.
Claire is in good shape, but Roy's linen clothes are already scratched.
The instructor in charge of stamping made Roy look at Roy frequently.
"Welcome, kids, you've managed to find check-in point No. 1."
The instructor in charge of signing in said to the two.
Claire made a triumphant gesture to Roy and ran to the side to rest.
Roy pulled out the map, and the instructor stamped a blue stamp to the first check-in point on the map.
"Good luck with your next journey, kids!"
With the blessing of the instructor, Roy and Claire left the No. 1 sign-in point, and when they walked out of the sign-in point, the two also met other classmates who rushed to sign in.
Roy greeted them warmly.
One of the elf students actually rushed over from the No. 2 sign-in point marked by Roy, so Roy asked the group of students about the road conditions along the No. 2 check-in point if the rules allowed.
When the elven students saw Roy's embarrassment, they didn't hide anything, and were very eager to tell Roy what he would encounter along the way......
Roy and Claire then rushed to the No. 2 check-in point non-stop.
……
With the kind reminder of the elf classmates, Roy and Claire groped their way along their tracks, and the journey was relatively smooth.
Especially for Claire, there is no need to cut through obstacles at every step, so that the speed of travel is much faster......
During the break, Claire sat on a mossy boulder and said to Roy:
"Roy, I'll do the math for you, it's already taken six days now, and we have a month in this outdoor practice class. At present, you still have seven check-in points, and if each check-in point can be guaranteed to last for three days, it is estimated that it will be too late, otherwise, I think you need to selectively give up a few particularly distant check-in points. ”
Roy crouched in the bushes and picked some more berries.
Because the group of classmates had just reminded the two of them that it would be difficult to find food to eat for the rest of the journey, Roy was going to make more reserves.
The next journey is indeed full of unknowns, and I don't know what kind of difficulties will be encountered in the future.
"Let's try it first, it's the shortest path I've calculated." Roy said.
He still plans to go through a few check-in points first, and then decide whether to go through all the check-in points.
Seeing Claire holding the stone and constantly picking at the stone with a carving knife, Roy asked, "Claire, how is your mission?" ”
Claire spread her hands a little helplessly and said:
"I've been drilling around in the jungle all day, and what inspiration can I have, I'm just writing down what I see and hear every day, plus embellishment, and I guess when we finish these check-in points, my travelogue will be pretty much the same. In his spare time, he carves stone statues......"
Roy was a little embarrassed and said, "I'm sorry for letting you run so far with me." ”
It's true that Claire doesn't have to work so hard.
Roy is the only one who is unlucky, and he not only has a survival mission in the wild, but also a mission to step on the map......
"We're partners!" Claire heard Roy's apologetic words, but she didn't know what to say.
As the two were talking, they saw another elf squad emerge from the jungle in front of them.
There are a total of four elven students in this elven squad, but one of the elven students is carried by a companion, so they stop and go all the way.
"Roy, there seems to be a team in front of you that is in trouble, do you want to go over and take a look?" Claire stood up from the stone and looked over the corner.
Since you have encountered it in the jungle, it is impossible not to help.
"Let's go, go over and have a look." Roy quickly stopped picking berries and followed Claire towards the elven team.
After entering, Roy found that the team was composed of four Silver Moon Elves, all of whom were wearing delicate light leather armor, but one of the silver-haired female elves had a linen bandage wrapped in a linen bandage on the tibia of her right leg, and there were blood stains oozing from it, which seemed to be injured there.
"What's wrong with you? Need help? ”
Now that she had met the Silver Moon Elf, Claire took the initiative to ask.
"Yesterday when we were climbing a cliff, Bertha fell from it and her calf was pierced by a sabertooth vine." One of the Silver Moon Elves explained to Roy.
When they looked at Roy, who was following Claire, they couldn't help but take a few more looks......
The clothes on his body were so weird that even a homeless man in Castletown wouldn't wear them.
What these Silver Moon Elves didn't expect was that it was precisely this disheveled half-elf who took the initiative to come over, stared at Bertha's calf, and said unashamedly, "Can you let me see?" I think I should be able to help! ”
The Silver Moon Elf, who had just spoken, said euphemistically, "I've already drunk the Life Potion,"
This sentence is clearly a polite rejection of Roy.
Roy naturally understood, and he quickly stopped.
Claire, who was beside her, immediately hugged her friend and said unceremoniously:
"My friend is a probationary priest, so if Bertha needs treatment, I can let Roy check it out first. If you don't feel like it, then we're leaving! ”
Hearing Claire say this, the three Silver Moon Elves on the opposite side all looked at their companions who had just refused......
The Silver Moon Elf didn't expect Roy to be a trainee priest, his face turned red for a while, and he whispered with some weakness:
"That...... Wait a minute, Bertha does need treatment, if you can, please. ”
Roy walked over and asked the Silver Moon Elf to find a clean place and sit the injured elf girl under the tree.
While untying the linen bandage on her leg, he said, "Check the wound first, has the wound been cleaned before?" ”
"It was a puncture wound, no bones, cleaned with diluted tree of life ......sap," the Silver Moon Elf said quickly.
Looks like he's supposed to be the squad leader.
Roy nodded, thinking that it was really extravagant, not only drank the life potion, but also cleaned it with the dilution of the sap of the tree of life, I have to say, when there were no priests and priests present, these treatment methods were still very effective.
Carefully unwrapping the blood-stained bandages, Roy saw a bloody hole in the elven girl's calf with tear marks.
Although the blood hole had scabbed, such a large wound was still oozing blood without stitches.
Roy hurriedly performed the 'secondary healing technique'......
In the past few days, Roy has always been casting this magic on himself, so he has a very good feeling.
The spell was successful, and a string of clear light with divine points of light landed on the calf of the elven lady named Bertha......
The wound on the calf healed at a speed visible to the naked eye, and the Silver Moon Elves who were crouching around and watching let out exclamations of joy.
"Thank you!"
The four Silver Moon Elves thanked Roy and Claire in unison.
"It's nothing, that's what every midshipman should do."
Roy said calmly, re-wrapping the wound with the linen bandage as he spoke.
Some of the serious injuries suddenly turned into minor injuries, and the elf lady named Bertha, with the help of her companions, was able to stand up, but she was still limping when she walked......
