Son of the Olden Days

Chapter 63: wilderness

In the candlelight, Thor took up his small iron buckler in one hand and the long sword in the other, and looked around. Then he carried the buckler on his back and put the long sword in his waist. These two things were now within the range of his strength.

Then Sol began to put on his armor silently, from leggings, leather armor, wrist guards, gloves, helmets... it was very complete.

This is a set of protective gear that Shuggs bought for him later. I thought it would be used a long time later, but I didn't expect this day to come so soon.

A few bottles of medicine, small leather water sacs, a few sheets of sand cotton paper, and a few charcoal pens from the fire, but there are not many things to bring. ...Oh, it doesn't seem to be much.

Shuggs silently turned his head to look at the long sword on Thor's waist, and for the first time began to doubt how powerful his two daggers could be in the open wilderness.

The bottom of the well is quiet, and the atmosphere is not heavy.

Thor and Shuggs knew very well that if they wanted to advance to a higher level, entering the wilderness must be an inevitable link, and it was just ahead of schedule now.

Before leaving, Shuggs figured out what impact he would have on the world if he died, and finally reached a sad conclusion that had no impact.

Sol thinks more. After all, his revenge has not yet been completed. He only decided to be with Irene two days ago. If he suddenly died in the wilderness inexplicably today... well, it would be a good joke.

Under the guard wall to the east, everyone saw Lotton, who was waiting in his outfit, a light metal chain armor, which meant that he was ready to take more damage for the team.

There was also Valle rushing, wearing a leather armor that I didn't know where he got it, a short sword hung around his waist, and a baggy domed helmet that was a bit funny, but it looked a lot like that.

Nowadays, in the adventurous atmosphere around the town, leather armor is still the mainstream protective gear. The heavy metal armor is too burdensome to run in the wilderness, and few people will step on the battlefield imperviously.

Lorton squatted down and fell asleep on a block of stone slab under the parapet, exposing a knee-high and sword-wide gap.

There is an exit here, and I don't know if it is the tail of the hand left by the stowaways who want to get into the town.

"Aren't we... going from the main entrance of the town?" Sol asked.

The town’s north and south gates are always guarded by members of the militia group. The investigation of strange faces will be stricter, but for people in the town who can tell where you are, whether you are an old man or a child, you will be released.

As for whether you go to the wilderness to make a fortune or die, that's your own story.

Lorton crawled out half of his body, looked at the exterior of the retaining wall for a moment, and then retracted.

"No, why bother to leave those guards with irresponsible talk."

"More importantly, if I don’t come back, you don’t have to tell my family. At least they won’t be too sad, and they can retain the speculation of missing, thinking that I just left the town and lived a life beyond their imagination. life."

"Let's go, the patrol on the parapet just passed by just now, take advantage of it now."

After speaking, Lorton took the lead through the retaining wall.

Standing outside the retaining wall, the mood of the four of them is a bit complicated. Excitement, nervousness, fear and so on are all mixed together, even for Luoton himself, this is the first time he has escaped the power of his father to face the wilderness.

This is the wilderness that everyone has heard of, fantasized about, feared, and dreamed of.

It seems that even the surrounding air is somewhat different from that in the small town. Although everyone’s dark vision is only five or six steps in front of them, this does not affect them from feeling a vast sense of desolation from the wind in the distance. .

Lorton knelt down and erected the slate in the retaining wall to re-disguise, then stood up and clapped his hands.

"About four directions. If we continue along the east side here, we will enter the Sleeping Forest. Usually adventurers in the town who have not accepted the commission will also target the Sleeping Forest, because the forest is rich in resources and has a lot of resources. Probability will encounter battle."

"We can also adjust our direction to the north, and we can reach Yuanmu Town in a few days, but we are only taking a short-term adventure today, so the exploration there is not very valuable.

"If you go to the west, you can reach the Yar Mine at the foot of the Grams Mountains after crossing the large plains, but the plains are very empty and overgrown with weeds, and it doesn't seem to make much sense."

Lorton briefly introduced the surrounding terrain to everyone. In fact, he could directly decide the direction for everyone based on his adventure experience, but he didn't want to be too arbitrary. After all, choosing the direction also chose the next encounter and ending.

"It's too far to the west, is there anything else besides the endless sea in the south?" Sol asked.

Lorton lowered his head and thought for a while.

"In the south, there are some woods and shrubs along the way. If you are careful, you can also find herbs."

"After two hourglasses through the woods, you can reach the beach where the waves washed out. After an hourglass along the beach to the west, you can reach the foot of a mountain. There is a small castle on the mountainside. It is said that long ago it was like a lighthouse on the sea. ."

"The castle? What's in it?" Waller was a little excited.

"I went there with my father's team a year ago, but there was nothing there except to climb high."

"Later I heard that a group of birdmen occupied the place, and then a beast drove away the birdmen and settled there. I don't know if it is still there, but it is not sensible to face the beasts with our current strength." Lorton promptly dispelled everyone's unnecessary thoughts.

"Bird people!? Is that group dominated by women, with sharp claws on their hands and feet, but the body and appearance are similar to human women, and they don’t wear anything?" Shuggs’s focus is always the same. unique.

"This..." Lorton twitched his cheeks, feeling that his adventure experience was still too shallow after all to answer such profound questions.

"Just to the south, we didn't carry food. The time for four hourglasses just to go back and forth, which is also in line with a short-term adventure. After a few adventures are gradually started, we will head to the forest." Sol tentatively made suggestions.

"Then south." Seeing that everyone had no objections, Luoton waved his hand to make a decision, then pulled out and hung himself on his chest. At this moment, he glanced at the magic hourglass with a warm glow.

This kind of magic hourglass is very delicate and small, the size of a little fingertip, you can confirm the passage of time through the scale on the surface and the discoloration of the sand body.

Sol has always wanted to get one. Once he has the time, he can do something more precise and planned, but it's a pity that there is nothing to sell in Grayscreen.

Magic goods are usually spread to this territory from farther places, and will spread to surrounding towns after the demand in the new town is saturated.

After the direction was decided, everyone finally took an adventurous step.

It's an adventure, but it's just ordinary walking.

The team opened horizontally, not far away from each other. Lorton and Shuggs were on both sides of the team and were responsible for guarding, while Sol and Waller were in a protected position in the team.

As he walked, Sol sometimes bowed his head and used charcoal to make some marks on the sand-cotton paper. He wanted to insist on drawing a partial map in every adventure, so that as his adventure experience becomes more and more enriched in the future, the map will eventually be pieced together.

Along the way, Lorton lowered his voice and kept explaining some common sense to everyone, such as don't speak loudly in the wilderness, don't leave each other's dark vision. The oblique areas such as the southwest and southeast belong to unknown areas. There are few human footprints and the risky environment is extremely unstable.

At first, the range of human activities around the town was fine, at least it was open and easy to walk, but as everyone walked around the town’s south gate and deepened towards the south, the road conditions gradually became difficult.

Rather than saying that it is moving forward, it is more like reclaiming wasteland.

Everyone had to pull out their weapons one after another, sweeping away obstacles and cobwebs all the way, drilling hard through the bushes or weeds.

No matter how much he lowered his movements, the sound of the branches lashing through his body would be unavoidable after all.

Everyone knew that at this time, they were already in danger that could come at any time, so they all tightened their nerves, and the four teenagers who had not passed the Mitzvah ceremony finally had an adventurous look.
