On the newly named "Lucky Owen", Xia Duo stood on the bow of the ship, with the warm spring and summer wind blowing on his face, as if his lover's hands were gently caressing him, soft and warm.
This is the first time Xia Duo has been on a boat since time travel, and of course it is also the first time it is so enjoyable. It is even more enjoyable than the first time he learned magic.
Ahead is a world that belongs to him alone, allowing him to do whatever he wants and do it freely. Although he knows that he cannot rely on others for the time being, it does not prevent him from thinking freely.
Just when Xia Duo was thinking about the vast world and the great achievements, Gibb came out of the cabin and said, "Sir, there are soldiers who are seasick. Can you let them go outside the cabin to enjoy the wind?"
"Okay, ask them all to come out."
Although this ship is only a small cargo ship, in Xia Duo's eyes, it is still small enough for two teams of people to stand on the deck.
Xia Duo is not a strict person, so he will still agree to such a small thing.
Soon, four or five soldiers staggered out of the cabin, leaning against the railing and breathing heavily. After they came out, the other soldiers also sprang out and walked around on the deck.
…
Xia Duo and others set out in the morning and sailed down the river. Although it was against the wind, it was faster than normal sailing. When it was almost dusk in the afternoon, Owen sent someone to inform Xia Duo——
The landing point [Youyou Reading www.uutxt.vip] is coming soon!
Xia Duo was refreshed, he was finally there. On the map, the distance seemed to be less than a palm, but in reality it would take so long.
Tired of the warm warm wind that blew from morning to afternoon, Chateau immediately ordered all the soldiers to prepare for the landing!
Owen's word "almost there" was indeed very fast. Just after all the soldiers gathered on the deck with their equipment on their backs, Chateau could feel the ship slowing down significantly.
Looking at the surrounding environment and comparing it with the spell map transcribed by the lord, Xia Duo recognized that this place was less than 200 meters away from the landing point he selected.
At this distance, in just a few words, Irving docked the boat on the shore. Of course, it was the shore, but it was only slightly east of the middle.
There is still one or two meters away from the shore.
The original river bank was not a pier that had been artificially repaired. Ships could dock at will. The springboard was set up, and Chateau was preparing to order the soldiers to land.
But suddenly he found stampede marks further south of the landing point. To be cautious, he quickly stopped the landing operation. Now these soldiers were very precious to him.
As for Gibb's team, Lord Saville did not say how long he would borrow it for, nor did he even say "borrow". He just said that he would give a team of soldiers to Xia Duo, and Xia Duo had already regarded these people as being led by Daxia.
The other team is composed of people who have been adventurers. These people are 100% from the Daxia Territory. The loss of any one of them is 1/56.
Therefore, Xia Duo decided to go and see the situation for himself.
At this time, Xia Duo was dressed as an adventurer, wearing leather armor and a one-handed sword hanging from his waist. If the armor hadn't affected his mobility and the price was too expensive, he would have wanted to buy a set of full-body iron armor.
Already.
"Gibb, give me your sword."
Gibb did not doubt that he was there, so he took out the sword from his waist and handed it to Chateau. Chateau took Gibb's sword and observed it carefully, and found that this guy's sword was better than his.
There is obvious blue light in the blade, which is obviously a weapon containing fine gold. At least it is more qualified to be a fine gold weapon than Xia Duo's "adamant gold" dagger.
Holding it with one hand, the hilt of the sword fit perfectly into his palm. For a moment, Xia Duo had the illusion that this was his weapon.
After swinging it a few times, it seems to be about 7 or 8 pounds, but it is too light for Xia Duo's 100 pounds of strength in one hand. If it were a full adamantine weapon, it might be about the same.
Holding the sword, Xia Duo pointed to the trampled mark he found and ordered: "Gibu, you stay here, I'll go over there and take a look."
"Sir! No!" Gibb quickly persuaded, "There should be traces of animals drinking water there, which will not affect the landing. If you are worried, I will go and investigate in person, and please stay on the boat until we build a temporary
The camp is disembarking.”
Gibb's expression was serious, but Xia Duo insisted on his own opinion. Territory development was not an outing and vacation. There was no way it was 100% safe. He was willing to go out because he had full confidence in his own strength.
If these soldiers go out, he will be heartbroken for a long time if any of them dies. At the first stage, he must ensure that every living force is alive to create value.
It's not time for them to fight tooth and nail yet.
During the Orc War, Xia Duo also experienced the death of his teammates, but those people had nothing to do with him, and he didn't feel bad about them even if they died.
But now that he is in charge of his own business, his mentality is completely different.
"Captain Gibb, there is no need to persuade me, just do your own thing."
After saying that, Xia Duo jumped off the boat amidst a burst of exclamations, but he did not fall into the water, but stood firmly on the water.
Gibb was almost dumbfounded now. He knew that the mage could fly and teleport, but before today, he didn't know that the mage could actually walk on the water.
The other soldiers were also very surprised. Even the crew members who were resting in the bilge couldn't help but poke their heads out when they heard the sound, and looked around at the hatch for no apparent reason.
…
On the other side, Xia Duo came to the place where the trampled marks were taken out. First, he stood in the middle of the river and looked at it from a distance. There was no shadow of the drinking animals that Gibb mentioned.
Chateau put his hand into the water, closed his eyes, and felt the sensation spreading along the water body in the Wolfburg River, first on both sides, and then spreading upstream and downstream.
About halfway through, Xia Duo suddenly stopped, and his originally clear perception of this section of water suddenly blurred.
But the perception was not interrupted, as if this small section of the river had become a part of him.
Putting his hand into the water again, everything in the water appeared in Sha Duo's perception——
There are aquatic plants, sediment, a few small fish, and no strange creatures.
Withdrawing his hand from the water again, Xia Duo walked towards the trampled mark on the shore. The awakening of his blood gave Xia Duo powerful strength, but this power was only one of the manifestations of his strong body.
Even those without specially trained hearing can easily hear the small sounds around them. Xia Duo scanned the area vigilantly, and at the same time used Jibu's adamantine sword to clean up the weeds, dead branches, and small trees on the shore.
The only sounds in my ears were the sound of wind, water, and voices on the boat.
Stepping onto the shore, Xia Duo stepped on a round stone that was smoothed by the water flow. With a "pop" sound, a line of water splashed out from the bottom of the stone.
It happened to hit the invisible force field of Sha Duo's [Mage Armor], instantly losing kinetic energy and falling down.
Xia Duo frowned, ignored this little thing, and continued walking forward.
The further in, the more obvious the trampling marks became, and Xia Duo could almost tell that these were not marks left by animals.
After all, how can any animal make a crooked path full of burrs? This must have been left by an intelligent creature, and judging from such extremely rough traces, the intelligence is not much higher.
Xia Duo immediately thought of goblins, but do goblins need to drink water?
