Unlike Heather, Mao Jing, who takes Laurend for a stroll, will inevitably come into contact with people according to the guidance of the dice. These years of experience have allowed her to discover that the languages of most continents have similarities, simple
Basic communication can often be effective, but if the gap between mainland China and mainland China is too large, it will become like chickens and ducks talking, and you must find experts who specialize in certain languages to help.
It's so inconvenient.
This casual mention while searching for people resonated with Heather.
Everyone on the Star is unwilling to disembark, preferring to face the ferocious and terrifying sea. This is also due to poor communication. In this chaotic world, various continents are not too friendly to strangers who do not understand the language. The slaves of various city-states and countries
The market is far more abundant than before the magic wave. Frequent wars and lack of order have made kidnappings and other acts commonplace.
During the voyage, Heather once met a group of slave traders. They had to temporarily team up because of the storm. When the conversation started, the other party actually proposed to join forces to plunder smaller desert islands or the weakly defended mainland coasts.
There is no need to attack tough situations, just kidnap people when they see them, and there is no need to screen.
After Heather's probing inquiries, everyone on the Star just learned that although the sea is dangerous now, for ocean-going ships that have been upgraded and adopted new technologies, there are only attacks by new sea tribes and giant natural disasters.
The two biggest points to worry about.
Because the continents were in chaos, a large number of people fled and evaded, and there was a gap in population resources. Therefore, the slave trade became popular. Merchants who traveled to various continents selling slaves made a lot of money, and what they obtained were able to be traded in most trading continents.
Exchangeable hard currency.
Crazy demand has created a crazy sea, attacking city-states, invading land, and kidnapping people have become a more complete industrial chain. Those who have just set foot on a foreign continent and speak a different language will immediately become the prey of many people, or be blatantly kidnapped.
, or suddenly disappear in a corner where no one is paying attention.
After four years of wandering, they hardly stayed in any densely populated area for two days. Even so, the Star Knights still lost three companions in two supplies.
Mao Jing said: “Some people want to attack me because I don’t speak the local language well.”
Heather held a moment of silence for that group of people in advance.
It was indeed time for a moment of silence, because the group of people who attacked Maojing immediately regarded the package she was carrying as valuables and planned to rob it openly.
Now, the land that was once filled with blood should be very fertile.
"It would be great if there was a magic potion that can quickly learn other people's languages after drinking it... Magic potion, I don't know if my vision is too narrow and my exposure to knowledge is limited. I always feel that the current applications are still very limited.
." Heather sighed.
Mao Jing remembered what Lulu said when talking about potions.
Lulu believes that the current limitations of potions are not just the reluctance of potion masters to explore new areas and innovate new methods of refining potions, but also the limitations of the power contained in the materials. The more powerful the magic environment, the easier it is for materials containing incredible power to be produced.
The miracles brought by magic infiltration will also be more obvious. After witnessing the super-era miracle built by Lawrence in the moon-carved barrier, Lu Yu and others knew the importance of magic infiltration. This is why the Dawn Leader used the magic circle to completely block it.
The main reason for territory.
Entering a small city-state on the plains, Mao Jing, who spoke with a strange accent, struggled to find out where they were. Unfortunately, there were no large ports around, so there were naturally no reliable ocean-going merchant ships.
After giving a bundle of collected arrow clusters to the blacksmith in front of him, he cheerfully made the proposal.
"Going all the way north, there is a deep-water port in Anfeng City, which is about five or six days' walk away, but it is not very friendly to strangers like you who cannot speak well."
"Go straight north?"
"You need to cross swamps and rift valleys in the middle. I have to remind you that this journey is not peaceful either. It may be even less friendly than Anfeng City. If you are weak, you'd better assess the situation." The craftsman rounded his arms and waved the iron
Hammer, hit the iron felt, "For the sake of you bringing me some good things, let me say one more thing. There are two nearby towns that were deserted overnight. As for whether they were eaten, or
Being snatched away and put on a slave ship...tsk tsk."
After purchasing a map, Mao Jing saw the black cross mark marked by the locals on the map. These were the villages and towns with no population as mentioned by the blacksmith. There were four in total. According to the time noted, they were all
What happened in the past thirty days, it is no wonder that this town is strengthening its defenses.
"This place is far away from the coast, right? Would any slave traders really take such a big risk to go deep?" Heather was curious.
Mao Jing said: "The current combat power displayed by the people on this continent is very average, and the magicians are not united. If there is really a group of experienced magicians attacking in a group, it will indeed be a devastating attack."
The unprecedented tide of magic has led many magicians to head towards the sea, including some who have complete magic knowledge from the mainland. Every island and continent with backward knowledge that these people inadvertently enter will be a disaster for the locals there.
A disaster no less than a magic wave natural disaster, it is a crisis that must be resolved by magicians uniting as one.
Although Mao Jing relied on dice to determine his travel route, he still recorded every place he visited in his notes and purchased a legible continental or regional map drawn by a local.
She sorted out the route she had taken along the way in her mind, and listed the "Jika" continent she was currently in among the continents with backward knowledge.
Although the magicians here have a certain level, their accumulated experience is not enough for them to use magic that matches the level of magic. Just like the blue water mushroom people in the past, they used the backward experience and magic from two eras ago.
The skill battle is average.
Heather was shocked when she saw Mao Jing's thick stack of notes, which contained many observations about local customs and races.
"It's just an imitation of Master Vanessa. Of course, I hope the people I love can appreciate it too..." Mao Jing said.
Mao Jing also hopes that one day, the space magic in her mind can be used conveniently. She wanted to buy some travel souvenirs for Laurend, but considering that it was not convenient to carry, she finally changed to dried local special plants.
Specimens, kept in notes.
Because they could not bear the oppression and slavery of the city-state, many escaped slaves and free people went into the mountains and forests, or into the swamps and wetlands with worse conditions. Mao Jing and his party saw many of them when they crossed the misty swamp.
The unkempt and ragged people fled in panic.
Heather sighed, and she asked, "Is this the same in Mela Continent?"
"Meila has a long history and is a little better... When I left, in addition to Lu Yu's Dawn Territory, there were still pure lands left."
It was getting late, and Maojing no longer used wind magic to lead everyone on the way. Instead, she rested on the spot and gave Heather a more detailed description of what she saw and heard in the Dawn Territory.
"Actually, I want to know more about you and..." Heather's eyes fell on the tightly wrapped urn. She really wanted to know what kind of past the person who could make an eighth-level magician fall in love with could have.
Mao Jing was stunned for a moment, then she gently held up Laurent: "He and I... the story is too long and full of regrets, let's forget it."
The ears of the werewolves and ratmen in the Star Knights trembled slightly. Mao Jing stood up, and the soft lines on his face tightened little by little, becoming cold and hard. His eyes seemed to have passed through the deep darkness and landed in a distant place.
"Ah~~~~"
In the quiet night sky, the miserable howl coming from the distance was particularly penetrating.
Werewolf description: "The sound of resistance was very weak, and it seemed that the sound of bones being gnawed...the individual attacking was larger than normal."
Another miserable howl came, and the sound of panicked footsteps came from the originally quiet swamp. The homeless people living in seclusion here planned to escape from this land of right and wrong.
Heather clenched her fists, felt her physical condition, and decided to head in the direction of the sound.
Mao Jing did not take out the dice. She seemed to know why Lulu shared the scroll with the water element magician in front of her.
The sound of the giant thing moving became increasingly clear, but for some reason, a continuous "rustling" sound could be heard, much like the sound of some kind of snake snaking and crawling among the grass blades.
"don't want."
"Guh."
"Click!"
The fog shrouding the swamp obscured their sight, and Heather and his party, who had followed the fleeing homeless people here, finally saw the monster in front of them clearly.
The well-trained members of the Star Knights subconsciously took a step back. Those who had seen strong winds and waves were shocked by the ugly monster in front of them.
This is a bloody giant worm. The overall length cannot be judged because the back half is slightly curled. Sticky juice oozes from the dense folds on the body, allowing it to move smoothly and quickly on the flat ground. Not only that, it is actually long.
It has four short legs and uses all four limbs for walking and crawling.
Before Catthorn arrived, a poor guy had already died under its short arms. At this moment, it was opening its round mouth full of sharp teeth to suck the flesh and blood of the deceased.
"Is this also a heterogeneous life that evolved under the magic tide..." Heather swallowed.
"No..." Mao Jing stared at the bloody worm and narrowed his eyes slightly, "This is not a living life."
"Hehehehe." In the mist behind the worm, a sinister laughter sounded, "It's amazing that you can see through its details at a glance. It's really amazing. You are the first one so far."
Heather looked at Mao Jing blankly.
"This is a summoned object. The vitality you feel is just a magical body."
"You know very carefully. This is unusual. No one I have encountered before has been able to accurately pinpoint the key word of summon. I didn't expect that there are other people in the world who are also studying summons?" The female voice in the mist sounded again.
, "How about it, do you want to see its power? Maybe you will be fascinated by it and want to fall at my feet and learn."
