Day 372 of entering Dragon Online, Soviet Empire, Polo City.

Early in the morning, after saying goodbye to the three daughters of Poznia, Irina and Lucia, Zhao Nan and a group of members of the Elven Whispering Guild immediately returned to the city to meet with Haode Cook.

Cook had already prepared the wagons and supplies for everyone, and waited at the gate south of Polo City. After Zhao Nan led a group of members of the Elven Whispering Guild to meet with Cook, he immediately made a brief introduction, and said that Liu Xiaoyu and the others were partners in cooperation.

After the group gathered, plus Cook, a total of eight people, they would set off from the south gate of Polo City along the road, and through the glorious grassland outside the city, they would arrive at the border between the human race and the dwarf race, the Giant Mountain Range.

"They're all guys with a certain amount of strength, so you don't have to take care of them along the way. Zhao Nan shared a carriage with Cook, so he specially said to him when chatting.

"Seriously, if you don't say it, I really can't see it. Cook muttered.

"You'll find out later. Zhao Nan smiled slightly and did not continue to explain.

The strength of the player cannot be seen from the appearance, especially compared with the aboriginal powerhouse of Dragon Online, the player does not practice fighting spirit and magic power, so the unique temperament of the master will not be shown at all, and it is no wonder that Cook can't see the strength of the group.

Eight people, four carriages along the small stone road of the Glory Grassland, set off to the south, the Soviet Empire originally bordered the territory of the dwarves, and Polo City was the southern border city of the Soviet Empire, so it was only half a day, and Zhao Nan could already faintly see the towering mountains in the distance.

"Giant Mountain Range, through that mountain range is the territory of the dwarf race?" Zhao Nan put his hand in front of his forehead, slightly blocking the dazzling sunlight on his head, so that he could see the huge mountain range clearly.

Compared to the hilly terrain of the Zach Dawich Empire, the high mountains in front of you are the real plateau. I really don't understand, those dwarves have short limbs, and Weishenme would like to live in this kind of place.

"Hehe, in fact, as long as you climb the giant mountain range, it is already considered the territory of the dwarf race, I heard that this mountain range is the body of the dwarf king Odin, the intention is to protect the entire dwarf race from being violated for generations. As a tour guide, Cook explained very conscientiously.

"Odin, the Dwarven King, hey, even if his body turns into a mountain range, it can only be called a dwarf mountain range. Weishenme called the Giant Mountain Range?" Hearing the origin of the name of this Giant Mountain Range, Zhao Nan suddenly felt a strong sense of disobedience.

"Zhao Nan, it's good for you to say this here, if you go to the territory of the dwarf clan, don't say that. Odin, the dwarven king, is an eternal god in the minds of the dwarves. There is no room for blasphemy. Cook said with a serious face.

Zhao Nan nodded helplessly.

Because of the relationship between the Bright Alliance front, the border posts of the Terrans and Dwarves have long been removed. Civilians from the two places can travel between the two places without hindrance. So Zhao Nan and the others easily reached the foot of the Giant Mountain Range.

"Wow, this mountain is so high, but why can't you see a single tree?" Liu Hao's head almost tilted back to see the whole picture of the entire Giant Mountain Range.

"Because the territory of the dwarven clan is almost all alpine wasteland landforms, and the surface is hard limestone, which is not suitable for plant growth at all, for you elven race. Isn't it unaccustomed to this kind of place without plants. Cook said with a smile.

"Hey, wouldn't it be a big discount if you cast your natural magic in such a place?" Liu Xiaoyu raised her eyebrows and asked suddenly.

"Of course. The natural magic of your elves is based on the natural elements of plants, and it is estimated that it is difficult to perform natural magic here. ”

However, as soon as Cook's words fell, a dark green light suddenly appeared in front of Zhao Nan, and a thigh-thick sapling suddenly rose from the ground.

"You...... How do you know how to use natural magic, and still cast it in such a place?" Cook shouted at Zhao Nan in a trembling voice, and showed a hellish expression.

Brother's natural magic is given by Brother System, you can ignore the terrain, you won't understand, Zhao Nan said with a mysterious expression: "This is a secret." ”

“......”

The high mountain terrain of the dwarves was not suitable for horse-drawn carriage walking, so under the leadership of Cook, they came to a special post station built by the dwarves at the foot of the mountain, where there was a monster called the walking bird that could be used as a means of climbing and transportation.

This walking bird looks close to an ostrich in appearance, but is taller and larger than an ostrich, with fiery red feathers and relatively short, stout feet, apparently adapted to this alpine terrain.

Cook put a few large leather bags on the carriage and hung them on both sides of the walking birds, and then said to Zhao Nan: "This kind of walking bird has a large load, if you want to buy a large number of star ores, you can put a few more." ”

As soon as he finished speaking, Cook saw that Zhao Nan and they did not react, and immediately looked back, but what made him speechless was that Zhao Nan and several of his elven friends were actually having a good time.

The walking bird was a monster that had been domesticated by the dwarves, so after Zhao Nan and Liu whispered that they rode on it, they quickly mastered the trick and had a lot of fun.

"It's really fun, it's much more fun than riding a horse, hey, let's race. Liu Hao exclaimed excitedly.

"That's a good idea. Liu Xiaoyu was also excited, and with a click, he rode the walking bird under him and ran up to the top of the mountain.

"Wow, Sister Whisper, you dare to steal. Liu Hao shouted, he pulled the reins, and let the walking bird under him run faster, leaving a cloud of smoke and dust.

"Sister Whisper, wait for me. Zhang Heng was nervous, and also chased after Liu Xiaoyu.

The rest of Yu Wenjie and Gu Ming glanced at each other, obviously the two of them also felt quite interesting, so they snorted softly, and then rode their horses to chase after them, no ...... It should be a bird chasing after it.

"Hey, Zhao Nan, your friend is gone like this. Cook reminded Zhao Nan.

"Yes, what's the problem?" Zhao Nan looked at him puzzled.

"They haven't brought their tools yet, how are they going to pack a lot of hedrons when they come back?" said Cook, who was really skeptical that these people were really going to trade with him on the Dwarven side.

"Don't worry, we have a solution. Zhao Nan said very calmly.

"But ......"

Cook still wanted to continue, but Zhao Nan had already said to Shi Qingqing, who was still waiting for him: "Let's go quickly, otherwise they will be lost." ”

“haode。 Shi Qingqing answered him imperceptibly.

With the sound of two birdsongs, the two walking birds also ran quickly up the hill, leaving Cook stunned.

"Really. They are here to enjoy the mountains and rivers, right? I hope that Zhao Nan guy will not cheat me, for this transaction, I will put all my family property down. Cook said to himself with a wry smile.

There is only one road through the Giant Mountains, so everyone can ride the walking birds, and as long as they run along this road, they can pass through the entire Giant Mountains without worrying about getting lost.

Cook often travels back and forth between the dwarves and the human race, and the riding skills of this walking bird are quite exquisite, although it is Zuihou who set off, but soon catches up with Zhao Nan and the others.

Riding a walking bird between the mountains. As far as the eye can see, there is a gray rock, one after another, as if there is no end in sight, the mountain wind here is very urgent, if Zhao Nan and they feel pain. There must be a feeling of being cut by a knife. In contrast to the sea of elven trees, this alpine wasteland has a desolate and desolate taste.

Unconsciously. Zhao Nan felt that Shi Qingqing beside him suddenly slowed down. He was stunned for a moment, then slowed down and walked side by side with her.

"What's wrong?" Zhao Nan thought she had found something.

"Huh?" Seeing Zhao Nan suddenly leaning on his side and advancing side by side, Shi Qingqing was startled at first, then reacted and immediately tidied up his hair that was blown by the mountain breeze. Cai said: "No...... Nothing, just thought the view was good, so I wanted to go slower. ”

"Nice view?"

Zhao Nan frowned and looked at it. Although I have lived in the elves for nearly a year, I am not interested in this kind of place where no grass grows, right?

Shi Qingqing also felt that what she said was a bit far-fetched, but in order to find a topic, she already felt that she was running out of words, and she really couldn't find a topic to talk to Zhao Nan. She was afraid that the two of them would be alone just now, so she deliberately slowed down the speed of the walking bird, but she didn't expect Zhao Nan to slow down as well, and in the end the two walked side by side.

Liu whispered that they had long since disappeared, and Cook was worried about their safety, so he also chased after them at full speed, so on a huge mountain road, Zhao Nan and Shi Qingqing were left walking unhurriedly.

Shi Qingqing is actually an introverted girl, when she didn't enter Dragon Online, she had just dropped out of high school in her third year, and Shi Qingqing, who was reprimanded by her parents, ran away from home angrily, and later met her boyfriend Chang Chao at that time.

Chang Chao is actually one year younger than Shi Qingqing, but he is a big boy, although he often dresses up in a non-mainstream manner, but every time in Shi Qingqing's eyes, Chang Chao is very responsible, and even offended some hooligans in society in order to save her, and was beaten to the hospital.

The relationship between young men and women is very simple, and a simple hero to save the beauty can achieve a young relationship.

After that time, Shi Qingqing followed Chang Chao and became his girlfriend, even dressed in the same style as him, and dyed a green explosive head.

Young and rebellious, a pair of young men and women do not return home at night, and often hang out in major Internet cafes. Also because of the relationship between online games, Chang Chao and Shi Qingqing both obtained the elite internal test qualification of Dragon Online online.

Enter your first day of Dragon Online.

At first, two young men and women who hated reality, society, and even their families thought that they could finally get rid of reality, get rid of shackles, and be free. However, the harsh reality has never left them at all.

Chang Chao used death to tell Shi Qingqing that the only thing they could change was ......

In fact, it's just yourself.

"I'm sorry, I don't have anything to say myself, but I told you these things. Shi Qingqing's voice was a little ethereal in the sound of Huo Huo's wind.

During the whole process, Zhao Nan didn't interject a word, although he had known this girl for a long time, it was the first time Zhao Nan heard about her life experience.

"In reality, I am also a little white-collar worker who has achieved nothing, and I am similar to you. Zhao Nan laughed at himself.

"But I think you're very powerful in this shijie. Shi Qingqing said quietly.

"Maybe I'm really better suited to this shijie, but if I had to choose, I would still like to go back to the real shijie, after all, there are still my parents and siblings there. Zhao Nan said with a wry smile.

"If I have the chance, I would also like to go back and say sorry to my parents. Shi Qingqing's voice became more and more ethereal, as if it would disappear at any time.

"There's going to be a chance. Zhao Nan didn't know what to say to comfort this girl.

Shi Qingqing also showed a hint of a smile, her delicate face seemed to bloom like a water lotus, and her voice reached Zhao Nan's ears through the mountain breeze here.

"Xiexie you. ”

Zhao Nan looked at her in a daze, didn't speak, just smiled.

On the gray mountain road, two lonely figures moved silently, but their movements were much lighter than before.

......

It was probably time for the sun to go down, and Zhao Nan and the others finally crossed the Giant Mountain Range and officially arrived at the territory of the dwarf clan. Of course, the dwarven town has not yet been reached.

On the back side of the Giant's Mountains is a black wasteland, known as the Pretender Wasteland, a colony of humanoid monsters.

"These monsters aren't very powerful, but they have a tricky skill that can disguise themselves as anyone approaching their target and sneak up on them without them noticing. Before entering the wasteland, Cook explained carefully again.

"Since it's so troublesome, let's go straight through this wasteland, and we should go to the nearest town of the dwarves. Zhao Nan asked.

Cook smiled awkwardly and asked, "You...... You really don't have to take a break?"

Zhao Nan and the others shook their heads in unison.

Monsters, simply monsters.

Cook was shouting in his heart at this time, he was actually very tired now, but as the tour guide of this trading trip, he felt that he should not be the first to cry tired. But Cook really didn't expect that Zhao Nan and his friends would be so powerful.

Today has been a whole day of travel, not even a moment of rest halfway, not only up the mountain, but also against the cold mountain wind forward, the harsh environment is particularly draining people's physical strength, the average person is estimated to walk on 1/3 of the distance will be tired of climbing. Cook has been able to hold on until now because of his vindictive support.

However, Zhao Nan and his friends didn't look like they had a fighting spirit or a magical body protector, because from the beginning, Cook didn't find that they had used the slightest trace of fighting energy or magic, and the whole journey, they completely relied on the physical liliang to compete. This kind of physical strength is simply unimaginably strong.

They're all guys with a certain amount of strength, so you don't have to take care of them along the way.

Zhao Nan's words, Cook only really understood now.

"I'm sorry, I really need a break. Thinking of this, Cook finally couldn't help but smile bitterly.

As everyone knows, as soon as Cook finished saying this, Zhao Nan walked behind Cook with a smile, slapped him hard, and said, "Uncle, I have long seen that you are so tired, just wait for you to say this." ”

"You bastard. Cook smiled bitterly again, he was already close to prostration, but he was slapped by Zhao Nan like this, and he fell to the ground.

Since he didn't have to pretend anymore, Cook didn't bother to get up, just sat on the ground and rested. (To be continued......)
