Since the infuriating and funny giant pit a few days ago, the intensity of traps encountered by Lin and his party on the road has weakened a lot. They are sparse, sometimes not one is encountered in a day. Although there are still a few
A tail hanging behind his back,
Although I don't know the reason for this change, there is no need for someone to go back to those people and ask them why they don't continue to make trouble. Lin can finally go on this journey to an unknown destination in a more comfortable mood, which is what Lin Ke wishes for.
Speaking of which, the more primitive a society is, the higher its level of self-sufficiency. Starting from leaving Wulian City, crossing the Doomsday Mountains from the Southwest Peninsula, and arriving at the traditional southwest region of Lost Land, the current direction is towards the Lost Land Continent.
Going west, there aren't many places to spend money along the way.
If you are thirsty, there are streams and some water-rich plants. If you are hungry, different fruits will be produced throughout the year. You can also pick some wild vegetables and make a pot of vegetable soup; or even go hunting and make a
Barbecue or broth, it’s not a big deal.
As long as you have enough strength, you can go anywhere in the Midi Continent, and you don’t have to worry about starving to death. Of course, on the other hand, if you don’t have enough strength, you can go anywhere in the Midi Continent, but you will turn into other creatures or other people.
Don't worry about starving to death. After all, this world still respects strength.
It's a pity that such a good mood only lasted a few days. Maybe it was from being a teacher that I learned a lot of ways to use magic incorrectly. Of course, the injured girl did not want to stay quietly to recover from her injuries, so she added a long
It is an effective weakened version of the floating technique. The biggest advantage of using it this way is that it can reduce the weight of the cast object, so that Harumi does not have to put too much pressure on the leg injury, and at the same time, he can move freely.
After finding a way to move around, how could Halumi be willing to continue being tied to the passenger seat of the covered carriage? Although her movement was not as convenient as when she was not injured, the girl also got off the carriage and used her legs to patrol the nearby area.
. But she didn’t dare to run far this time. She knew very well that if something went wrong, it would be inconvenient for her to escape now.
Being wild-tempered does not mean being reckless. Just like now, the girl who came back full of doubts said to her teacher: "Teacher, I found a village not far ahead."
"Well, when you find it, you find it. Why do you look like you've eaten a fly?" Lin was puzzled by the girl's expression.
"I think that village is weird. But what's weird about it, I can't put my finger on it."
When it comes to other people's intuition, Lin always holds the idea that he would rather believe it than not. But to confirm the facts, more evidence is needed to prove it. So he turned to the girl driving the car and asked: "Kaya
, is there any information about that village on the map?"
The girl checked the map she had edited through her own spectacles. In addition, she also went through all the original maps in this area. In the end, she could only shake her head.
A village without records. Lin thought in his heart.
The map information of the Lost Lands is very different from the information on the Earth that is measured using scientific methods. On the Earth, attention is paid to detail; whoever can record it in more detail will have more people.
use.
But in the Lost Lands, backward surveying and mapping methods allow people to selectively record important information. Of course, the important landmarks to confirm the direction are the focus; the secondary ones are any place where you can replenish food and water, or seek shelter.
This of course refers to the gathering place of Homo sapiens.
Most gathering places, even those that are not very friendly to outsiders, are much better than the natural environment in the wild. Some of the most basic requirements, in the spirit of mutual assistance, are rarely refused by people. Therefore, the places where people gather are also
One of the important messages on the Lost Map. However, those truly dangerous locations rarely appear on the Lost Map.
In fact, this is easy to understand. If there is really a fatal danger, people who go in will probably not be able to get out. Naturally, there is no way to convey the message that this is a dangerous place to the outside world. And those who will be marked as dangerous, except those who look like
There are very dangerous places, such as dragon's lairs, active volcanoes, abyss, etc., or there are too many rumors indicating that they are dangerous, and no one has the means to provide counter-evidence.
Another reason why the gathering place has not been recorded on any map is that it is a new gathering place and has not had time to be recorded. Updating the map is not easy even on Earth, let alone
In the lost land.
However, you still have to confirm the details with your own eyes before you can guess.
As a gathering place passed by during the journey, Lin is always very interested. Traveling is to expand knowledge, and the focus is on four words: "customs and customs". The first two are scenery, and the last two are people. They are both worth it.
Something to see.
Besides, although a certain person is a homebody by nature, he does not suffer from crowd panic. Why should he wrong himself when he can have better rest conditions? So he said to the two girls: "You won't get the real answer if you use your imagination here.
Let's go over and have a look. If it doesn't work, we'll leave."
Sitting back in the passenger seat, under Halumi's guidance, the carriage quickly arrived at the strange village she mentioned.
In Lin's eyes, this place is almost the same as the villages he saw during his travels and adventures in the Southwest Peninsula. It can even be said to be more luxurious.
Usually the establishment of villages is just a temporary gathering place for the purpose of reclamation, mining, etc., so the living environment will be very simple, and the houses are relatively scattered. The wooden walls and thatched roofs that can leak are like that.
The house is just better than sleeping in the open.
There won't be any shops or hotels in places like this. They are usually used by people who have extra things at home or have a relatively spacious house to make some extra money.
But in the village in front of us, the layout of the houses is not tight, and there is a fence on the outermost perimeter. It may not provide much protection against real threats, but it is enough to prevent poultry and livestock from leaving, and to prevent foreign wild animals from entering.
Inside the house, there is even a fairly well-built house, which looks like a place where people with status live. Although the other houses are a little inferior, they are still far from the simplicity of the village level. It can be said that only this place
If it continues to develop and the population increases, it will inevitably become a small town.
But...just like what Halumi said, it feels weird. To put it bluntly, there is no popularity, and it feels like entering a ghost town.
The carriage entered the village, and soon a group of people appeared out of nowhere, either standing in the darkness of the house, or peering through the windows at the strangers who came to the village.
Is he very wary? Or is there something else weird? It's hard for Lin to judge immediately.
Before entering the village, Lin had been wearing the magician's signature shawl and walking at the front of the carriage. The purpose of this was to warn some people with ulterior motives not to mess with people they couldn't afford.
People. On the other hand, Lin's direct appearance also means to show goodwill, letting others know that he is willing to contact others, instead of acting like a group of untouchables who are not allowed to approach or touch the magician.
"Sir." An old man, accompanied by several old women, came forward tremblingly. He pinched the felt hat originally on his head nervously, while squeezing out an unnatural smile and said, "It's magic.
Master? Our village urgently needs your help. The evil from underground is threatening the lives of the whole village. I hope you will not hesitate to lend a helping hand." At the same time, he took the small message from an old woman behind him.
Pocket, said: "Although it is not much, it is nothing to you, sir, but here is the money collected by the whole village."
What kind of drama is this going on? In the last village, a person stopped a sedan chair to express their love, but as a result, a lot of people died and a vein of magic stone was destroyed. This time, the same drama is being staged. What is going to happen?
However, Lin still asked: "Old man, don't rush to give us a bounty. You should tell me what happened first. Let's see if the matter can be solved."
Not sure whether the other party was real or fake, Lin decided to test it out first.
If the other party says that there is an evil dragon living nearby or something, he will definitely leave. It is a basic principle of a person not to do things beyond his ability. Although you can occasionally make a loss-making transaction, that kind of business will
Even if you have to pay for your pants, you must be able to dodge as far as you can.
It's not like someone's style to beat his chest loudly before he even understands the matter.
The old man followed suit and handed the poor little bag back to the person behind him. He waved his hand sideways and said: "Sir, please follow me to our village chief's home. Only then can the village chief tell you more clearly what happened.
whats the matter."
"Please lead the way."
Lin walked on both feet, Kaya still drove the carriage, but Halumi sat quietly in the carriage, not daring to move. There was a strange atmosphere that made the girl almost breathless. The group of people
In this way, he followed the old man to the most luxurious mansion in the village. And as he walked towards the mansion, villagers continued to join the crowd and followed behind.
That house is not like the style of Midi, but more like a house that combines a meeting hall and a residence. It is just built neatly and well-maintained than others.
The old man stood respectfully outside the house and said inside: "Village chief, there is a magician here with his subordinates."
A girl who was so beautiful that people were speechless walked out of the room. She was dressed more like a witch in some primitive beliefs, with bright colors and a very special totem.
Looking at this beautiful girl who was out of tune with the village, Lin had the feeling of seeing a phoenix in the weeds. But in this way, the lingering sense of disobedience became even stronger.
The girl walked out of the house with her eyes closed. She didn't know whether she was born blind or because she was used to walking in her own territory, so she didn't need to open her eyes and wouldn't hit the wall. When she came to the front, her eyelids slowly opened.
Open, she has two big, watery eyes, making her look like a beautiful woman with bright eyes and white teeth.
She tilted her head and smiled sweetly. Just when she wanted to speak, she heard a muffled sound, and a bloody hole opened in the beauty's forehead. Lin Meng turned around, and the lich holding the magic gun did not cover up at all.
What she meant was that she smiled triumphantly. The two girls standing beside her looked equally astonished.
