Lily and the others followed Mirron's caravan for four days and three nights, and finally arrived at the remote town of Carretta on the evening of the fourth day.
"Wow...this is Carreta..." Lily looked around curiously. She had heard rumors before that Carretta was a barren land, so Lily imagined a small town in an American western movie or a small town in the desert.
There were various scenes, but Lily, who had just arrived in Carretta, found that Carretta did not seem to be as bad as she imagined. Although the vegetation was indeed not as lush and green as Blano, it was still the same to the eye.
There are many trees.
If we say the biggest difference between Carreta and Blaeno, it should be the architecture. Blaino's buildings look more Baroque, exquisite and luxurious. Not to mention the buildings in Blake City that are a mixture of various peculiar styles.
It can be said that Blano's buildings can be viewed as landscapes.
The architecture of Carretta is more practical, and very grand and informal. There are few places where the details of the building are decorated like that of Blaino. Large rocks are flattened and stacked together, and they are scattered and scattered.
It has a majestic beauty. Take the hotel where Lily and the others are staying as an example. The space in this hotel is surprisingly large. Although it has two floors like Blaino's, it is as tall as Blaino's.
There is a three- or four-story hotel next to it.
Moreover, the Carreta people are different from the Blano people. The Carreta people in the hotel are laughing, singing and dancing, and appear to be extremely generous. It is rare to see such a scene in Blano Lily - to be precise, it is like this
The scene can only be seen where the mercenaries gather. If it were an ordinary Blaeno people, they would probably prefer chatting, dancing, riding horses and hunting when they get together, right?
After avoiding a drunkard who was punched away, Lily couldn't help complaining: "It's so messy here! Let's change to a hotel?"
"Haha, there is no way, even if you are in Stex, the capital of Kaleta, you are like this." Mirron touched his beard and said with a smile, "You really don't go to Stex with me to see
Do you see it?"
"No, Uncle Mirron." Eleven said with a smile, "We are going from Yeting to Bartlea. Wouldn't it be the opposite direction to Stex? We appreciate your kindness. If you are free,
We will come back to you."
"Haha, then it's settled!" Uncle Mirron did not continue to persuade Elaine, but instead gathered mercenaries in the hotel who were willing to take on the protection task.
"You said you are going to Ye Ting?" However, Elaine's words attracted the attention of a red-haired girl who was drinking. She looked about eighteen or nineteen years old, with long shawl hair as red as flames.
With a piece of white satin tied into a ponytail, she looks lively and chic. And judging from the worn leather armor on the girl's body and the long sword that exudes the smell of blood at her waist, this girl is obviously not inexperienced in the world.
He is an ignorant child, but he is a skilled mercenary.
"That's true. What do you think, girl?" Elaine looked at the girl in confusion. He could tell that the girl was probably not as powerful as him.
The girl put down her wine glass and said helplessly: "Don't you know? The Orc Empire suddenly sent troops to attack Ye Ting. Due to lack of preparation, the defenders were caught off guard. Ye Ting has been lost."
After saying that, the girl pursed her lips and motioned to Elaine to look at the notice posted on the wall. Eliwen took a closer look - it turned out that the notice was the official recruitment notice issued by Carretta, but the location of the notice was really...
It’s so casual! If you don’t pay attention, you might think it’s a small advertisement posted by a vendor!
"This is going to be really bad..." Soy opened his mouth wide and said in surprise, "If this is the case, not only will we not be able to go to Bartleya, I'm afraid Carretta will soon fall into war, right?
"
Lily glanced at Gayna. Gayna's face changed and she immediately said: "No! Absolutely not! Even I can't cross that kind of place!" Lily obviously wanted to ride Gayna over, but even though Gayna
With legendary level strength, it is obviously unwise to forcefully break into the defense line of the Orc Empire, because it is impossible that there are no legendary level strong men in the orc empire, and it is even possible that legendary level strong men are holding the line on the front line at this time.
"Why do you have to go to Bartlea?" The girl looked up at Elaven and the others in confusion, "Even if the orc empire doesn't declare war now, you can't enter the forest where the elves live, right?"
"Is there such a statement?" Elaine obviously didn't know much about Bartlea's situation, so he sat next to the red-haired girl and asked curiously, "How do you know so much? Have you ever been to Bartlea?
?”
The red-haired girl moved away from Elaine without leaving a trace, and said with a polite smile: "I am an adventurer and have been to many places. Some time ago, by chance, I went to the southern jungle for adventure.
People know some information about Bartlea."
"Adventurer?" Elaine's eyes lit up, "I am also inspired to become an adventurer who explores every land in Ghasain! Nice to meet you, my name is Elaine, what do you call the girl?"
The red-haired girl glanced at Elaine, smiled politely and said, "My name is Christina, please call me Chris."
"This is Lily, my sister." Elaine introduced Lily, who was sitting casually next to Chris, and then introduced the others one by one, "If we want to enter Bartlea, we need to do something
what?"
The red-haired girl Chris shook her head and said, "I don't know much about this. I just went to the southern jungle."
"Then how did you get there?" Suo Yi was a little confused, "Ye Ting's side was captured. In other words, the Orc Empire has been coveting the place where humans live for a day or two. Didn't you encounter any difficulties when you passed through the Orc Empire?
?”
"No, I went to Bartlea five years ago. The Orc Empire was not like this at that time." The red-haired girl shrugged and said helplessly, "Those Orcs are not as barbaric and helpless as we humans imagine.
On the contrary, they even pay more attention to etiquette than the Blano people."
"Five years ago?" Lily looked at Chris in surprise and said, "You went out on adventures at such a young age?"
"Little?" Chrissy looked at Lily, then said with a smile, "No, although I went out on adventures when I was fifteen, it's still been seven or eight years - don't look at me like that, I have a baby face.
"
Lily was speechless - it turns out she just looks younger! But being in her twenties is not considered old. However, Elaine was a little embarrassed. He originally thought that Chris was younger than him, so he somewhat despised this.
The girl who calls herself an adventurer thinks that she is a novice just like herself. Although she has just left home, she knows a lot of secrets about Garsain under the guidance of her father's words and deeds. Naturally, she will have a sense of superiority subconsciously in her heart. But who knows?
I once thought that the other party was not only one year older than me, but also had been adventuring in Gasain for seven or eight years.
"So... so amazing..." Mira covered her mouth and looked at Chris curiously, "How can your elders trust you to go out on adventures at such a young age?" Even Elaine's father waited.
After Elaven reaches adulthood and is strong enough to face most dangers, he is allowed to go out on adventures - of course, only within the Kingdom of Skell.
Chris was not annoyed because Mira asked about her privacy and family background, but smiled and replied: "I have lived with my grandfather since I was a child. My grandfather often told me some adventures when I was young. After my grandfather passed away, I
I decided to help grandpa fulfill his unfinished wish, which is why I went to the southern jungle."
Lily's eyes lit up, and then she asked: "Sister Chris, do you have a way to go to the southern jungle now?" The southern jungle is very close to Bartlea. If you find a way to enter the southern jungle, you may be able to wait for an opportunity to go to Bartlea.
Leia's. Although I can't find any other partners in Bartlea now, I can still go visit Aisha!
"I'm afraid not." Chris said in embarrassment, "I also walked through Yeting to enter the Orc Empire, but you might as well go to the Tianren Mountains and ask the hunters nearby, maybe they have a trail across the Tianren Mountains.
"
"Good idea!" Eleven nodded and said, "But Miss Chris, can I trouble you with something?"
The red-haired girl turned the wine glass in her hand and seemed not to be interested in Elaine's words: "If you let me lead the way, forget it. Although there are few people around the Tianren Mountains, the Orc Empire is very likely to come over. I am not prepared for it in the near future.
Leaving Carreta."
While eating the dinner she had just ordered, Lily said as if unintentionally: "Why does it have to be so troublesome to go over the mountain? Why can't we take a boat from the northern sea to the Orc Empire?"
Lily, who went on adventures with Jacks, was naturally accustomed to things like taking a boat, but everyone else looked at Lily strangely, which made Lily a little confused: "Why are you looking at me? Am I wrong?"
"No..." Elaine said with a wry smile, "Lily, you are really a genius. We racked our brains to pass through the Tianren Mountains and completely forgot that there is such a convenient method - but now the Orc Empire and Kaletta are at war.
, there should be no merchant ships heading to the Orc Empire, right?"
"Yes, there are definitely no ordinary merchant ships at this juncture." Chris nodded in agreement and said, "But if you really want to go to Bartlea, I have an acquaintance who often does some maritime work.
business..."
Elaine's eyes lit up: "Then I'll leave it to you!"
Chris stood up, put some drink money on the table, and said to Elaine: "I need to deal with some personal matters. Let's meet at this pub in four days."
After Elaine agreed, Lily and the others sat around and finished the meal - of course Lily and Qianyu had already eaten half full while Elaine and Chris were talking just now.
While eating, the sensitive Soy noticed that Mira was not in high spirits, and Gayna also looked a little depressed. Compared to Elaine, who looked very happy, they were two extremes, which made Soy couldn't help but shake his head.
