012 Creek Wood
It was already the last month of planting. After staying in Xueman for six days, Soya finally decided to leave. Of course, before leaving, he took on a task, which was to clear the two robber gangs of Han Luoshan Peak. After all, he was short of money recently, and only a dozen of them were spent on more than 200 gold coins. I guess he would have gone to Ximu and he would not even have the money back.
(Anyway, you have to clean up the root treasure at that time. Why not clean it up one step in advance, and it will be easier then.)
With this in mind, Saoya came to the carriage house in the outer city and spent 10 gold coins to hire a carriage and three guards to go to Ximu Town.
In fact, the guards are just a situation. Bjollem's carriage shop is still very famous. At least in the Xueman Corps, there is no bandit group that will rob his carriages. Basically, just take two or three mercenaries and chariots and you can travel smoothly in the Xueman Corps. Of course, the so-called free travel is just to walk on the main road. If you walk on the small road, you will almost encounter wild beasts. If you don't hire more than a dozen mercenaries, the carriage shop will not take on such a business.
But it has to be said that although the sky horse is not very fast, it is at least much faster than walking by itself. It was originally a journey of about two days (including rest, sleep, and sleeping, and walking for about 30 hours. Of course, it will be faster if you run). It was only more than ten hours later that you arrived at your destination. Looking at Ximu Town getting closer, Sawyer couldn't help but sigh:
"Xi Mu, I'm here again!"
After paying the fare for the other half and taking the carriage away, Sawyer then looked at Ximu Town carefully.
Ximu Town is a semi-open town with no complete city walls. It only built two low-high city walls based on the mountains and water on both sides of the town.
Ximu Town is a timber production place in Xuemanling. Of course, hunting prey and visiting guests are also one of the main incomes of Ximu Town.
As soon as he walked past the small city gate, Sawyer saw the familiar sign in front of the left. Just like in the game, the largest hotel in the town is the Sleeping Giant Hotel, but in addition, there are two smaller hotels and a special tavern.
In addition, there are also Ximu Trading Stores here, and the owner has not changed, but the scale has expanded a lot, and there is also a clothing store, an jewelry store and a small market.
In reality, Alvo has a blacksmith shop. Although Doxi, who was pestering him to learn blacksmith, is still not a qualified apprentice, he has three other apprentices to help him make irons. After all, as an important transit station, there are many adventurers who come and go, and naturally there will be a great demand for equipment. Alvo alone cannot handle it.
There is a large open space southwest of Ximu Town, which is where the caravans come and go to rest. Most caravans from Fochris will stay in Ximu Town for one or two days, and then embark on a journey to Xueman City. After all, if it is a caravan, it takes two to three days to reach Xueman City. There is no decent settlement on the road, so it is necessary to rest and recuperate at a time.
The entire Ximu Town has a permanent population of about 800, including 120 guards. If you usually include adventurers, mercenaries and caravans, the usual population of Ximu Town is about 12 to 1500.
Of course, as a town, the guardian power is definitely not so weak. The guardian power of Ximu Town is mainly the adventurers and mercenaries here, as well as the caravan guards. If the guards are added, the scale can reach about 500 people and there is nothing valuable, so naturally there is no idea of a robber group to make a move here.
Of course, it may have happened before, but it was secretly killed by Delphin, a group of secluded human bosses.
Speaking of which, Sawyer really wants to go to the Sleeping Giant Hotel to see what kind of strength Delphin is. Even if this guy is a fight in the game, in reality, he must be the strength of a legend, right?
"You are the noble son of nature?!"
Sawyer, who had just walked past the Sleeping Giant Hotel and was recalling the information of Ximu Town, was suddenly awakened by a surprise voice. When he turned around, he found a wooden elf carrying a bow and arrow looking at him with a look of surprise.
"Faendal?"
The guy in front of me looked familiar. When he thought about it, Sawyer immediately knew who the person in front of him was. It was Fendal, who was known as the early archery mentor. He often asked him to practice archery in the game, so he naturally felt a little kind.
Of course, there is also a bit of embarrassment, because in the game, they always complete the task of delivering letters, and then recruit Fandal into a minion, and then while training, they pay for Fandal. After all, the game is not rich at the beginning of the game.
Now he finally met a real person. Thinking of the experience of being squeezed by himself over and over again in the game, Sawyer also coughed slightly embarrassedly.
"Have you heard of me?"
When Sawyer called out his name in one mouthful, Fandal was immediately surprised to become crazy.
Looking at Fandal's ecstatic look, Sawyer couldn't nod and said, "Have you seen you n times in the game?" He could only nod and say according to the information in his memory:
"Of course I have heard of Fandal, Master Short Bow, one of the guardians of Ximu Town. Also, just call me Sawyer, don't be called the noble son of nature."
"Thank you for your praise, the noble son of nature."
At this time, Fandal finally returned to a little normal, but he still bowed to Soya with ecstasy expressions, making Soya feel helpless. He wants to be low-key, right?
However, no matter what Sawyer thought, Fandal recognized the title of "Dignified Son of Nature", and pestered Sawyer back to his house, saying that he wanted to treat Sawyer well.
In fact, Sawyer also wanted to refuse. After all, the first time we met, we were always embarrassed to entertain him, but he accepted his fate as soon as he saw Endal's attributes.
【Fantadal, Wood Elves, Short Bow Master, Level 53, Life 6oo,???】
(Level 53?! The useless archer who took him to Hanluo Mountain Peak several times can actually have a legendary level of 53? Sure enough, reality is very different from the game. It seems that every character in the game is very awesome in reality.)
Sawyer was shocked, then followed in obediently, and then inevitably saw the ordinary wooden bow and inconspicuous arrows on Fandal's back, and was immediately surprised.
【Breaking Wind Shoot, Elf Short Bow, Epic, damage 27o, arrows with wind cut damage, increase the bow rating by 10%.】
[Sthorn Wood Arrow, Elf Arrow, Not Poisoned, Damage 12o, causing puncture damage.]
The master-level short bow skill can increase the basic damage by 20%, and the damage of arrows can reach at least 92o. And as a master-level figure, there will always be no damage-type stunts, right? Even if there is not, then the basic damage when used in naked outfits can easily exceed 1,000!
In addition to weapons, Fandal's equipment is not ordinary. Although it is covered by Fandal's aura, Sawyer can still feel the powerful power above.
In the evening, Sawyer also met Farendal's wife, who was also a wood elf, with a pretty appearance, at least from the perspective of an ordinary person, which was quite aesthetic.
This is different from the game. In reality, Fandal is not jealous of Swan, but has his own family. It is not difficult to understand that the aesthetics of wood elves and humans are still somewhat different. Although wood elves also think that human beauties are beautiful, they still think that their tribe members are more beautiful. In terms of life spans, most elves will still choose their tribe members to accompany them all their lives.
After resting at Fandal's house for a night, Sawyer planned to say goodbye to Fandal and climb the Cold Rock Peak the next morning.
"You are going to Hanluo Mountain Peak? What are you going there to do?"
Fantal seemed very different because he already knew Sawy's strength. Even if he used the elf weapon given by Seluya, he could not defeat a gang of robbers (not a gang).
(You can't tell him that I'm going to help Zhagenbao clear the obstacles, right?)
Sawyer thought about it and then spoke, "I came out to experience it, so I naturally have to fight. The two robber gangs here are almost the weakest in the entire Xuemanling. I can't afford to offend the wolves in the wilderness, so I can only come here."
"That can't be...why would I go with you?"
"No!" Sawyer answered firmly: "How can you be considered a training after following me?"
(Nonsense, you follow me, how can I get my skills?)
"But... let's do it, the noble son of nature, let me teach you some self-defense tricks!"
"This...thank you." Sawy
(Is this the rhythm of training? It's simply amazing!)
It has to be said that one method can help all methods, and the master-level short bow skill can teach the longbow, which is also easy. However, after ten minutes, Sawy's longbow was raised to 18, and the sneak and light armor also increased to 12. Before leaving, Fandal also sent Sawy 10 ebony heavy arrows, which was enough for Sawy to deal with some sudden situations.
[Ebony heavy arrow, long arrow, unpoisoned, damage 6o, durability 8/8.]
Sawyer, who was satisfied, finally left Ximu Town under Fendal's reluctance to look (whether there is any ambiguity?). Although he was very sorry that he did not see other characters in the game, it was also a good harvest to be able to improve three skills.
After walking across the stone bridge and turning a corner, Soya saw the way up the mountain. After looking at the left and right, Soya took out the elf sword and held it in his hand. He remembered that after going up the mountain, he would encounter a wolf, but he didn't know what it would become in reality.
