Chapter 2: Westbound
Climbing a mountain was a hassle, and Lawrence began to prepare for it when he got home.
Emma and the others were also busy, searching for what they needed in the warehouse and various rooms.
"How many clothes do you want to bring?" Emma asks Sariel and Sophia, who are packing their bags.
Sariel looked at Sophia, "Sophia, what should I prepare for going out?" ”
Sophia blinked, "You definitely need food and clothing, as well as water and weapons, two more pairs of shoes, and tools to start a fire." ”
Heidi, who was standing on the side, took the initiative to say: "If I need water, I can go with the owner, I can carry things, and I can also provide clean water to the owner." ”
"Not you." Sophia decisively refused.
For more than a year, the rivalry between Sophia and Heidi has also been seen by everyone.
Now Heidi is not so afraid of Sophia, as she grows older, Heidi, who is already a girl, is a lot stronger in wisdom and courage, especially with the help of Lawrence, she is not afraid of Sophia in many things.
Of course, there was no defeat into victory, and Sophia was still Lawrence's little slave girl, lying in the position that Heidi envied the most.
Saril doesn't actually have the experience of climbing big mountains, living and climbing are two different concepts.
Seeing that Sophia didn't understand this, Sariel asked Keharan, who was examining the ointment.
"Kehalan, what do you need to prepare for climbing the mountain?"
"Just ask Lawrence." Keharan casually put down a bottle of ointment and gave an answer that was not an answer.
Sariel didn't go to Lawrence, arguing: "You have to prepare first, and then go to Lawrence and ask him, you can't ask him everything." ”
Khalan didn't argue with Sariel, picking up the ointment from the box and placing it on the table, "Just wait for those few to come over, and let them send this out." ”
"Okay." Sarriel knew it was the witch's family.
The three adults of the witch's family are all helping Keharan with medicines, from the early herbs and decoctions to the current ointment potion.
Students at the Holy Virgins Academy also learn how to make medicines, and common fever-reducing and healing potions are required.
In addition to herbology and pharmacy courses, combat and technology are also taught.
Some people can't learn so much confused knowledge, and gradually they are divided into superior and inferior, and the transcendent led by Heidi stands out.
The transcendent bloodline gives these girls a great advantage, and it is easy to convert the advantage of the bloodline into status and power.
This is also the reason why the Western aristocracy lacks the concept of country and family, whether it is a witch or a witch, it is easy to develop a family or power.
Witches are more troublesome to give birth, but if you choose to cling to the rest of the nobility, you can easily get support.
Looks and abilities make these female nobles exude a stronger attraction than ordinary women.
The transcendent bloodlines of the Kingdom of Io were either killed, surrendered and lost everything, or went to seclusion in some small nearby country.
The family is only a tool for profit for the transcendent, not a collective power that requires the transcendent to sacrifice for it.
The fetters of family and friendship can't lock these transcendentals, so once they meet an opponent who feels that they can't win, they give up very simply and are always running away.
To mortals, wizards and transcendents seem to have settled for a long, long time, but in their own senses, they often change places.
The West originally had only a few countries, but it was later broken down into many small countries due to the war.
The transcendents themselves are a group of passers-by like nomads, who go wherever they are good.
When you get into trouble, you run away, and you don't care about family friends or anything like that.
There is a lack of cohesion in the country, and there is also a lack of common direction between the royal family and the common people.
Lawrence's conquest of the mountains soon became known to his family.
The maids and farmers also began to wonder what would happen on the snowy mountains that day.
Saril prepared a lot of things, but in the end she was not satisfied.
"Emma, what did you say is there in the Big Snow Mountain outside?"
Emma shook her head, "I don't know, our ancestors have known for generations, I've known for as long as I can remember, but I've never been there. ”
Emma thought for a moment and said, "The first time I climbed the snowy mountain was when I went up from the town to look for you. ”
"It was a difficult way to get to the manor at that time." Emma wanted to say more, but she didn't have the strength to say, "Now that the road is so good, I forget how I got up that day, it took a long, long time." ”
Things from before suddenly become far away, and Emma, who has just lived a few good years, finds herself gradually forgetting the hardships of the past.
A lot of painful memories become as if they are insignificant, and they can be said with their mouths open.
Heidi was curious: "It's not that far from the manor, is the big snow mountain that the master said so close?" ”
Emma shook her head, "Definitely not. ”
Sariel put down the clothes in her hand, put them on her lap, sat down in her chair and said, "The road to the manor has been built for several years, and it was not easy to walk until then. ”
"I remember that it took a day to get here from the manor, but now it only takes half a day, and Lawrence and Catherine can go back in half an hour."
As he spoke, Lawrence came out of the castle and saw a group of people preparing various large and small bags.
"You don't need so many things, everyone can carry a baggage, and Catherine will bring the excess."
"The food shall be made of jerky and bread, and some sugar and wine, and two thick clothes for each person, and I will carry the wind from the manor, so that there will be a vigil at night."
"WeaponsEveryone brings a sword and a dagger, and I will prepare the medicine myself."
Lawrence was quick to deliver the supplies he needed.
Sophia listened carefully to Lawrence's instructions, and soon saw Heidi standing opposite.
Seeing Heidi's calm appearance, Sophia said proudly and deliberately: "Master, just now Heidi said that she was going to follow, she was worried that we would have no water to drink~"
Saliel looked at Sophia helplessly, "Sophia, you have to get along with Heidi." ”
Sophia smiled and didn't speak, and anyone could tell she wasn't listening.
Lawrence looked at Heidi, who was trying to calm down, and after thinking about it, he said: "Yes, although the water problem can be solved, it will indeed be easier with Heidi, and I also need Heidi's crow to help do some things, such as putting the rope on a high place to card the master." ”
Heidi's main ability is water control, which Lawrence doesn't need much, but Heidi's ability to control crows to do small jobs is very useful.
With the help of that clever crow, it is equivalent to having an extended arm, which is very important when climbing mountains.
"Yes! Master! Heidi excitedly agreed, shouting very loudly.
Sophia gritted her teeth and glared at Heidi, tears of anger about to come out.
The members of the climbing team are formalized.
Lawrence the Prophet, Deren the Second Virgin, Catherine the Mount.
Scouts Sophia, Heidi, Emerald.
There is also an all-round black dog named Hurricane, who can detect, send messages, fight, and carry burdens and seek enemies.
Each team member has more than one role, and Delen's ability is not only to control dirt, but also to negotiate.
As a member of a hill tribe emerging from the mountains of Agama, Deren possessed the language to negotiate with the mountain barbarians.
Emerald is also a master of language, whether it is an elf or people from other countries, they can generally understand each other's words. (End of chapter)
