Chapter 461 first step into the grassland
Make a teleportation circle from the floating city in the center of the continent to reach the ‘Morning Light City’, which is the northernmost part of the Holy Arathor Kingdom, and then set off from the ‘Morning Light City’ to the giant war fortress ‘Spear of Vengeance’ not far away. After spending a night in this fortress with the goal of revenge, when the gate opened the next day, our barbarian adventurer led his mount ‘Carrot’ and slowly walked out of the dark corridor.
The little mage Chris flew in the air next to him, put his hand on his forehead, and looked at the distant scenery. And behind the two, there are three other people in the same way.
What Barrett saw in front of his eyes was an endless grassland. The grassland in summer was lush with greenery, and the dense shrubs and grasses were dotted with yellow or blue wildflowers. The clear sky is bright and beautiful, and it is pleasant, but the clouds on the horizon are like waves, seemingly constantly rolling and galloping.
“This is the Vast Sea Prairie.” The guide ‘Gene’ introduced to Baritt and the little mage nearby, “If we want to reach the elf’s territory, we will have to walk for at least seven or eight days, if everything goes well. ”
“It’s not going well?” asked the little mage flying in mid-air.
“That’s impossible to say, Master Kris.” Genn raised his head and replied, “Those wild creatures living in the vast sea grassland are not very friendly to humans who come from the south like us. As for the The reason…” He pointed to the fortress behind him, and didn’t make it clear, but it was enough for everyone to understand, “So, I don’t know what will happen on the road.”
Since the Dark Ages, the Holy Arathor Kingdom has wanted to bring the entire vast sea grassland, including the elven territory hidden in the depths, into its own territory. , but the follow-up friction and skirmishes have never been interrupted, so the situation that Gene said is understandable.
“Will there be a fight?” Barrett patted the ‘carrot’ beside him, making it quiet. The latter was a little irritable waiting in place, as if he wanted to run wild on the grassland.
“Well, it shouldn’t be.” The guide said hesitantly, “After all, we have the esteemed Mage Kris in our team. No matter how reckless and savage those wild tribes are, I don’t think they will do this. Irrational thing. Besides, we still have you.”
“Me?” The barbarian asked suspiciously. When did my fame spread to the Hanhai Grassland?
“Yes, you, Barrett the Nord,” the guide explained, “you look a lot like those Wesnets, and you should be able to arouse the goodwill of the Wildfolk, so I don’t think there will be any problems with this journey. .” Gene vowed, and finally added, “Unless, one of us has offended them more seriously.”
offend? Chris and I will definitely not do this. As for the two people in the back… Barrett turned his head and looked behind him.
“Please rest assured, Mr. Barrett, my companions and I will never do anything out of the ordinary along the way.” The traveling merchant ‘Alier’ at the back seemed to see what the barbarians were thinking, “‘The merchant should not offend him. Anyone, even if he’s a goblin’, that’s what I’ve always believed in doing business. In my opinion, all creatures in this multiverse are our potential customers, customers bring a steady stream of gold coins, no merchants Will keep ‘gold coins’ out of the door, won’t it.” He said with a smile on his face.
Merchant Ariel and his bodyguard ‘Red Crab’ were met by Barret and the others when they were looking for a guide in ‘Morning City’. Ariel came to the door and said that he planned to go to the Holy Land of Elf, hoping to meet with him. They walked all the way.
The businessman said that he had a very good relationship with the Holy Land of Elf, and showed a strangely shaped Elf token to prove that he had business dealings with them. The so-called token is indeed an elf thing, but in Barrett’s view, this does not really prove anything, after all, elf things can also be bought with gold coins.
However, the little mage Chris agreed to Ariel’s request, so there were two more people accompanying him on this journey.
As for the merchant’s bodyguard ‘Red Crab’, he was a lazy adventurer. Red Crab did not tell everyone his real name. Ariel said that he and Red Crab had known each other for nearly ten years, and only knew such a nickname that had no meaning.
According to Red Crab’s own words, there is no difference between a name and a nickname. They are just a title, and it doesn’t matter whether they say it or not.
This answer is not unusual. Many adventurers do prefer to use nicknames instead of their own names when introducing themselves. But the premise is that the nickname has to be loud enough in the area, or known to many people, so that it makes sense to introduce.
Barrett looked at the adventurer Red Crab who didn’t care about his nose, and recalled what the little mage said in his mind, “Everyone has their own secrets.”
Hopefully this journey will not be affected by these untold secrets.
“Although merchants are not involved in production, they play a huge role. Not only human beings, but even elves who escape from the world can’t do without us.” Ariel’s voice continued to ring in his ears, “We are like blood in our bodies, Get the nutrients from here to there, and get the nutrients back from there, and make a small profit from it to survive.”
“Businessmen are willing to make ‘small profits’? Haha, this is quite a strange saying. It’s the first time I’ve heard of it.” Chris laughed in the air.
“It mainly depends on who you are comparing with, Your Excellency Mage Kris.” The businessman led the horse to the other side of the little mage. Because of the Nightmare Beast, their horses dare not get too close to Barret, “Compared with ordinary farmers, these profits can indeed be described as ‘rich’, but compared with you, they are nothing. ‘ he said modestly.
Before the actual departure, the guide Jean gave a brief introduction to the vast sea grassland.
There are many kinds of wild peoples in this vast grassland. Species such as halflings, centaurs, half-goats, goblins, lycanthropes, and Barrit’s barbarian cousins, the Visnats, have all lived here for generations. .
Some of these races have been home to the vast sea steppe since ancient times, while others were driven here by the vastly expanding humans during the Magic Empire, or after the end of the Dark Ages.
The elves call this grassland the ‘last pure land’ in the material world, and their own holy land ‘Luos Luolin’ is hidden in the depths of the grassland.
After the introduction, the guide Gene suggested everyone to set off, “Look at the wind direction, those dark clouds in the sky should be coming towards us. I guess there may be a heavy rain tonight. If we decide to travel today, we’d better hurry up. Or you can wait until the rainstorm is over before starting, what do you think, Master Kris.”
Chris shook his head, UU reading www.uukanshu. com “There is a lot of rain in summer. No matter what, we will meet on the road after all. It is enough to find a place to shelter from the rain in advance.”
“Is there any place to rest along the way?” Barrett asked.
“There is a halfling village called ‘Sweet Cane’ that is very close to here, and it can definitely be reached before dinner.” The merchant replied actively, “Every time I go to the elf territory, I will rest there temporarily. However, that village will A little detour on the route.”
“I also suggested we go to ‘Sweet Cane’,” agreed the guide Gene. “Compared to other wild peoples, the halflings are more hospitable. Not only can we shelter from the rain there, but also find out about some grasslands. What happened may be of some help on our subsequent journey.”
“Okay, let’s go to ‘Sweet Sugar Cane’, let’s set sail and set sail!” The little mage said excitedly, and Shuai flew forward first.
The four people in the back looked at each other, mounted their mounts at the same time, and followed behind the mage.
