camp
After more than ten hours of intermittent walking, the sun has gradually explained that he is not good, he has already laid on the top of the mountain and exposed half of his body, leaving the coast, I didn't expect the desert to be so vast, you can find some ruins around, that was the former market, now there is no human population at all, and even the well has dried up.
There are isolated rocky mountains, towering and reaching into the sky, no less than the mountains seen on the coast. Robert is very good at earth and stone magic, he can use earth and stone to make stone armor to protect himself and not feel uncomfortable wearing it. He stood on it at 90 degrees vertically, going to the top to see how wide the desert was. But every time I get the news, it will only be the next mountain, and it may be more promising.
Night had fallen, and Rokuna suggested catching up with the travelers in front of them, perhaps they would let us rest for the night, and Robert had taken a rock from the dirt and rocky mountain to use as a skateboard to allow them to move quickly, but it was not possible to last long, and it might be just right to catch up with the travelers.
Magic is very common in this world, but it is not popular, thanks to the consequences of the church's propaganda, fortunately, this group of travelers does not believe in this religion and will not exclude them too much, Rokna communicates in a language that Flren and Robert do not understand, she has traveled for so long, it should be normal for her to know more languages, this land used to be a country, but at that time, the more powerful and ambitious Ivy was due to countless conquests, in exchange for the current scene, no one remembers the name of the country here, maybe in the words of this group of strange-language travelers, it proves that they once existed, but it doesn't matter anymoreγ
Although the language is not understood, we are all human beings, we know how to enjoy desires, and we sing and dance together, and at this time we all abandon the unhappy past, and only believe at this time that enjoyment, wine and song are the greatest inventions.
"They said that over the hill in front of them was a new town, a pretty big city, and they were going to deliver and do business there, and it had been going back and forth for 20 years. Rockna sat down next to Flon and Robert after dancing, and said these words in a slightly drunken voice.
"Oh, this is a natural barrier, this mountain, in front of it, I guess the people in it haven't experienced much war. Flon took a sip of his wine.
"Then there must be other things to worry about, and one can get into the trouble of his own creation infinitely," said Robert, who was the least drinker.
"Actually, I've never seen Cortana behave like that, bringing innocent people into it so extremely. She held her cup and chatted about the past.
"Cortana, do you mean Anna?" asked Fren.
"Yes, maybe she wants to change something, but she's the same age as you, and she might act impulsively. "The same is true of Rocuna in the past, maybe she tried, and let Avein come back to life.
"I don't have time to stop her, I'm busy, okay?" Fren just wanted to finish his mission and return to his hometown, this time perhaps saving enough money to rebuild the village
Robert had already fallen asleep, probably not needing a blanket, after all, it was like this, and Fren was used to it.
"Of course I don't want you to stop her, she has her own way, I'll watch, but I'm still going to worry. β
It was still small talk, she didn't fully trust Fren, as if she was confiding in a stranger, Fren had dragged off her desert costume and was able to relax. He lay on the blanket given by the traveler, and will continue his march tomorrow.
Fren was still thinking about this ancient night, alcohol actually had no effect on him at all, he didn't even need to eat to live, eating made him feel like a human being, he knew that cold and warm would hurt, but that's all, as if his skin was still alive, but there was nothing inside, but he could still think, whether his brain was still there and couldn't be sure, it was indeed a headache.
Let's sleep, although I have only had one dream for so many years, and I have only dreamed of one since the village was sacrificed in 19 years, and I have never dreamed of anything else.
Rokuna has been polished by time, this little wine will not get her drunk, now she is still lying on the blanket and can think calmly, looking up at the endless starry sky, more than once thinking of her own insignificance, now she wants to do something she has done, she has failed before, and she doesn't know in the future, she has been defeated, she has retired, she has not come back, why is she persuaded to choose to come back again?
Let's sleep, the past is the past after all, and Avein's past is the best in her memory after all, and she can't replicate it all.
Early in the morning, the faint ringing of a bell tied around the camel's neck made Flon sit up and look around, Robert was still asleep, and seemed to have drunk a lot, Rokuna had already woken up, and some travelers had begun to worship, thinking about their so-called goddess of death.
Fren packed up the blanket and gave it back to the traveler who had taken the lead, thanking him in his own way, a gold Avein coin. A kick woke up Robert, who needed to get off faster, and the mountains ahead happened to be Robert's home turf.
Although there are no more sandstorms, it has to be said that this desert is still very large, and it will take a long time to reach the seemingly close mountains.
As they sat down on the earthen chairs made by Robert, he floated Flon and Rokna into the air, and walked on the hill with his own feet, although not fast, but he was good at this kind of slow and delicate manipulation.
"You could have made a hole in the mountain, why climb it?" Fren asked, after all, he knew this kind of magic but couldn't do it.
"Yes, I prefer to walk on it, the feeling of conquering a mountain effortlessly, and at the same time seeing a lot of scenery, it's nice. "Robert was very proud, he liked the high places, so that everything he saw was so small.
"Is that so?" said Fren, stepping on a stone chair and stepping out on one foot, looking like a madman, but the mountain suddenly protruded from the neat staircase-shaped stone.
"You can obviously change the terrain but it's still like this, I really don't know you very well, I'll go first, your range seems to be enough for me to go down the mountain. β
Flon left to scout first, and Robert knew that it was a strange tacit understanding.
Rokna thinks that these two are very powerful, maybe there is really a stronger existence in this world than herself, and her knowledge tells her that this is not a simple earth and stone magic, but a higher level thing, I'm afraid Alama can interpret it.
She stroked her blue-purple hair, thinking of her past adventures, and whether she would be able to meet him again this time?
Over the hill, Fren had already seen the city, there was no door here, perhaps in the other direction, stepping on the lawn again, the soft ground made him feel very comfortable, and he had already thought of spreading the word about Rocna, or convincing the lords here to take his place.
"Everybody has desires, let's see what the lord wants, or what trouble he has. Fren thought so, and saw that the town in front of him was a little strange, and it was not familiar to say, but he forgot where he had seen it.
The main city is quite prosperous, it seems that the lord here rules well, at least for the current Avain, it can be perfect, thanks to the natural advantages here, Fren did not ask what the name of this city is, who the lord is.
These things, in fact, you can see it by making a big fuss, the so-called diplomacy, Rokna can come, all you need to observe is the patrol route of the soldiers, of course, this is not something that can be completed in a day or two, how many soldiers there are, and who is on vacation I don't know, some bastard soldiers like to mix taverns, they can set up intelligence or something, this is their favorite thing to do in Bafar, although in the end I didn't expect Anna to see more than him, it was indeed his own failure.
But now the venue is different, the villagers may really not know about Anna's existence and are secretly controlled by her, these soldiers play a game that is very simple, highlighting the pursuit of happiness, singing the praises of the unity of their gangs, and their sudden entry may cause alarm.
At this time, you can only rely on mice......
"Robert, did you see Fren?" Rocuna entered the city and observed.
"You don't have to worry about him, he may jump in front of you at any time, and now we should go to the hotel, and with his temperament, he must be looking for some way to promote you. β
"Isn't there a guild in this place? one that might provide a place to live, a place to find people from all walks of life. Rokna reminded Robert.
"Okay, I'll look for it, miss, wait a minute. Robert had to listen to her and ask a few merchants about the guild's location.
"Hello, is that Miss Rokuna?" said a small child's voice.
Rokna turned to see that it was indeed a child, crouched down, and asked, "Yes, I am, what is the matter?" said with a kind smile on her face.
"Our lord says we have a letter for you. The child handed over a letter to Rokuna.
Rokuna took it with both hands, "Who gave it?"
The little one shook his head.
"Okay, I see, you go. β
She stood up and began to flip through the letter.
"Let's find Robert first, it seems that Flon will need a few days for the time being. Rokna thought as her hands learned from Fren's cold to destroy the paper.
"It's such a great move, I never thought of a way to strengthen myself in addition to earth magic. "I'm also a person who has used the water element for many years, and it's the first time I've seen this kind of operation.
At this time, Robert had just returned, "Miss Rokuna, the guild has been found. But ......"
"It's very broken, right, there aren't many people who rely on this to eat anymore, and everyone is fighting on their own. The first step we need to do is to restore the guild to its former appearance, which is considered a private army. β
