068 Brute force
"Lawrence, you can bring your charcoal with you, but you have to carry it yourself."
"Sophia, help me feed this basket of beans and forage to Nala."
Early in the morning, Sariel began directing Lawrence and Sophia.
The matter of trading with the Claudamen is in charge of Sariel, a strong woman, and Lawrence and Sophia are not familiar with each other, so they naturally start it.
Whether it is in the mountains or by the sea, strength is a pass.
Lawrence felt that even if he trained for five years, he would not be able to beat Sariel.
Not all barbarians are so strong, and Sariel is obviously not strong, but she is more energetic than the fat women in the village!
Lawrence had no doubt that she could lift a pig with one hand!
"If only the Dom sheep had that strength." Lawrence sighed and put his bag of charcoal in the basket and carried it.
Domme Sheep Nala can only carry a maximum of 100 pounds of things, except for the usual riding, most of the rest of the time will reduce the oppression of the Dom sheep.
It's the same today, except for more than fifty catties of copper ore, the rest of the things are carried by the three of them.
In addition to a basket of charcoal, Lawrence brought a wooden drill and iron nails, as well as a traveler's stick and a scavenger's dagger.
The dagger is used for self-defense, and the rest of the things are not easy to carry.
Sophia carried a shield on her back and a wooden spear in her hand.
Sariel tied a rope around her waist and pinned two axes to the belt behind her skirt, leading Dom Sheep Nala down the mountain.
Lawrence looked at the house, where the kitchen was boarded off to prevent some birds and beasts from escaping.
The door to the house and the barn were also closed, and there was some extra fodder inside, so that you would be fine if you came back early before dark.
The three of them quickly set off, and the entrance was the forest where they had caught squirrels before, and the three of them led the sheep into the depths of the forest.
Salil looked around, "It's very easy to get lost here, don't leave me, I've marked here before, this is the way!" ”
Lawrence doesn't have a map of the vicinity, but he has seen this area when he surveyed the terrain before, and he didn't see mountains or rivers at the end of the forest, it should be a canyon or a downhill road.
"Sariel, where is the village of Cloga? Is it up or down the mountain, or in the valley and mountainside? ”
Sophia came to the scene and praised excitedly: "The master will not get lost, he can find it anywhere!" ”
Lawrence pinched Sophia's little face with one hand and said fiercely: "Be modest! Don't always talk about my good qualities! ”
Sophia quickly nodded her head in fear and obediently.
Sariel didn't believe this, and looked at Lawrence with a suspicious expression, "The Claudadians live in the depths of the forest, not our forest, but a hot forest protected by many, many fifty-meter-tall trees!" ”
"Can you find it?"
Lawrence was very speechless, "I can't find it, you just say this, how can I find it?" Don't look for trouble, lead the way, I don't know. ”
Sariel was in a very good mood and continued to lead the way.
Lawrence said he didn't know, but as he walked, he inevitably struggled and began to think about the approximate location.
Fifty meters tall tree...... If there are many other trees that tall, it should be easy to find.
Normally, those trees will grow in one direction, and the mountainous terrain here is uneven, which is not suitable for some trees.
Years of safe growth, coupled with the need to hide from witches in Mount Talim.
Hot Forest ...... Is it a volcano?
Lawrence pondered the location of the volcano and his rough judgment of the nearby mountains during his previous survey of the terrain.
The distance should not be too far, five hours at most.
But we're now walking slower than on normal roads, and we don't necessarily climb a mountain in five hours.
So this distance should not exceed ten kilometers.
Lawrence quickly had a rough guess and judgment.
After walking in the forest for more than an hour, Saliel led Lawrence to a cave based on several large trees and stones, as well as a path down the hill.
"Surely you can't imagine it! After this cave, there is the territory of the Claudadians! ”
Lawrence nodded, "I really didn't expect it. ”
Lawrence thought that it should be in the canyon or encirclement inside the mountain, or maybe in the back of the mountain, but he didn't expect that there was a cave to pass by.
The cave was blocked with stones, and the entrance to the cave was about the same width as the normal door, but it was shorter, only one meter six or seven high.
Lawrence looked at the large stone, which was more than a meter wide.
Just when he felt that he could not help it, he saw Saril walk up to the stone and start pushing it to the side with both hands.
"Lawrence came over to help, and it used to be two people pushing together."
Lawrence looked at the big stone, which was more than a meter wide and one meter five or six meters high.
"I don't think it's something that one more person can solve."
Airplanes...... The boulder was pushed hard by the girl, and moved aside with a very slow but firm speed.
The gap grew wider, and Lawrence's brow furrowed deeper and deeper.
Lawrence suddenly had a skeptical look.
[Is Sariel really human?] I suspect she's a barbarian...... Oh, really. 】
I used to wonder if Sarriel would be a witch, but witches shouldn't have that much strength.
Sophia soon joined in the pushing, pushing hard with Sariel, the large rock that was much larger than her.
With the cooperation of the two young girls, the big stone was quickly pushed aside.
Sarry, looking exhausted, rested against the rocks, and quickly looked at Lawrence angrily.
"You're the laziest man I've ever met!"
Lawrence walked over to the stone and looked at it, there were marks on the ground that had been rubbed repeatedly, the stone was often pushed around, but the marks were not described very often, and except for this fresh one, the rest of the marks were blurred.
Lawrence tried it himself, but he couldn't get the stone to move even a little when he pushed it hard.
This stone is at least a thousand pounds!
Although it can't be pushed by 500 catties, Lawrence thinks that this stone must be more than 1,000 catties!
Sariel ignored Lawrence and walked in with Sophia with the sheep.
"Don't be afraid, Sophia, it looks dark here, and it's the end of fifty steps."
Lawrence followed in, and when he entered, he found that it was pitch black, and Sophia and Saliel were nowhere to be seen.
"Sophia!" Lawrence quickly took a few steps forward and entered the darkness.
"I'm here!" Sophia's voice sounded in the darkness, "Master, where are you?" ”
"I'm behind you, it's dark here, and there's no one in sight."
"Master, I'm scared ......"
"Don't be afraid, Sophia, I'm holding your hand, it's okay, keep going, it'll be there soon."
The further inside it became, the darker it became, and Lawrence turned his head to see that the location of the cave entrance was also gone.
Lawrence was not afraid, he knew that he had bent down the stone wall of the cave as he had just left.
The cave is not straight, but sloping, still slightly down towards the left front of the entrance.
After two or three minutes of passing through the dark passage, Salil pushed open a wooden door made of wood and led the two to a valley full of huge trees.
"This is the territory of the Clauda, who have a holy spring that can also emit heat in winter, and we will go there to find my friend."
Lawrence looked at the tall vegetation and trees nearby, then at the steep mountain behind him and at the mountains in the distance, and roughly figured out where he was.
It should be the location southwest of that poisonous mountain, Talim.
Lawrence wondered if Mount Talim was filled with volcanic gas, or if there really was a witch?
I guess there is...... Lawrence still believes in the existence of witches.
Because there is a woman by his side who is more outrageous than a witch.
Regardless, Lawrence now believes that there is something extraordinary in this world.
