Chapter 164: Entering the Alf Mountains
May 19, 1392, Fei Lunar calendar, at noon.
Since Wengerns and his team set out from Tar, they drove without stopping with the help of magic carriages along the way. Finally, they spent less than four days to reach the last human city ahead - Black Wind City!
Along the way, Wengerns had already told the other three about his experience on Tar Street and his analysis based on the information. Similarly, Wengerns also told them what he was looking for in this operation, and it was not as unexpected as Wengerns had expected. The three who received the news were shocked.
"Looking for the floating city?!"
That's right, the goal this time is Floating City, which is the greatest crystallization of wisdom among the great arcane masters in the era of great arcane! And the memory of Keldi in Wengerns' mind told him that the elves on Yongju Island should also be looking for this thing.
Thinking of this, Wengerns couldn't help but sigh that the royal secret that Princess Jessica said was actually true. There was really a floating city here. In this way, the black-robed mage who founded the Black Wind City might have disappeared when she went to find the floating city!
Although I don’t know what conspiracies were for those elves, Wengerns felt that it was necessary to compete for this floating city for whatever reason! Even without those elves, it would be self-evident that the benefits of this floating city would be for Wengerns.
This is equivalent to a mobile private territory! And it is a territory exclusive to the arcane! The various facilities left behind in it are undoubtedly extremely attractive to Wengerns!
The most important thing is that this floating city belongs to the Great Arcane of Keldi! Wengerns knows a little about the internal facilities, structure and other information! Although Keldi's soul was torn apart by inexplicable power, it was enough to maintain Wengerns' advantage in the competition!
"Wengerns, is this the place you have been in the past fifteen years?" A slightly teasing voice pulled Wengers out of his memories.
Without looking back, we knew that it was Barrond who asked this question. Standing at the gate of the north city of Black Wind City, Wengerns looked up at the continuous mountains in front of him, and Wengerns responded casually.
The Alf Mountains is a mountain range with a huge span. From north to south, it almost became a natural city wall in the northeast of the Tyr Kingdom! And this time their goal was to be at the northern end of the Alf Mountains, which had already left the scope of the Tyr Kingdom and came to a barren land!
"Let's go! There's nothing good to look at, head towards the goal!" After trying to get rid of the memories of the past, Wengerns waved his hand and opened the portal and came to the farthest place Wengerns had been in the mountains - next to the small cabin.
"Is there anything on this mountain that needs attention? We may not be familiar with this place!" Renn from behind asked calmly while following everyone's footsteps through the portal.
"It's okay in front of this section of the road, basically there will be no problems! The place where I lived was also a safe area on the mountain range. However, as we went deeper to the north, many monsters and monsters would appear one after another on the mountain! You need to be careful at that time. Although those things may not be very strong, some of them will have more troublesome special abilities!"
After thinking a little, Wengerns said what Rongen told him very early, and began to move forward to the unknown realm on the mountain.
"I hate the distance and remoteness. Even the Mirschilles Hall is not at this point!" Barond complained, struggling to climb the uphill with his short legs.
Although the Mirsin Hall is also in the north of the mainland, it is closer to the northwest, and it still retains the existence of some countries. To the north of the Kingdom of Tyr, there are no more human countries. Only the orcs with strong vitality can survive in a barren land!
"There's nothing to do about this! In fact, most of the time along the way is probably spent on mountain roads! In order to maintain combat effectiveness, I cannot use flying techniques all the time, and it's not necessarily safe in the sky! Instead of that, it's better to climb slowly!" Wengerns said as he looked up at the tiny black dots in the sky.
Fortunately, although there are mountain roads behind, the Alf Mountains are not the kind that is too rugged and steep. As long as you pay attention to your attention when walking, you can still find some easy-to-go mountain roads. This also saves a lot of trouble for Wengerns and others.
It is estimated that the location of the small cabin built by Master Rong is near the boundary of the safe area. After the teleportation, Wengerns and others did not go far, and found that the front was beginning to become less peaceful.
They are the skeletons of two large creatures, with the size of cattle among ordinary domestic animals, and only in this kind of creature that can survive in the mountains with more gentle mountain roads. Judging from the teeth of these two corpses, these are probably the skeletons of two herbivorous creatures. Because the teeth are both flat!
Near the two skeletons, Wengerns squatted down, pulled open the nearby grass, and began to observe carefully.
"Sure enough! It's not normal death!" Wengerns said to himself as he looked at the footprints that had become blurred in the grass of the mountain road.
"There are signs of biting on the bones. Can you see anything from the footprints?" Renn looked at the bones and turned to ask Wengerns.
"Ah! It should be a good thing for some creatures with not big physiques?" Wengerns replied after estimating the size of his footprints with his palm.
"Some?" Anila asked with a frown when she heard Wengerens use such a vague word.
"Yes, it's just some! Although these footprints are relatively blurry, you can still see that they are very messy. If you look closely, you can see that the sizes of these footprints are still somewhat different!" Wengerns explained, pointing to the footprints on the ground.
"Gomin?!" After seeing the footprints, Anila said in surprise and suspicion: "How come there are gonna be here?"
"I'm afraid it's not the only one! Hey! Come and see what I found!" Barrond shouted at a tree.
After everyone approached the tree, Wengerns saw at a glance that there was a head-sized gap on the trunk of the tree, which looked like a piece of bark had been rubbed off.
"Bear Goblin?!" Inelala said in an uncertain tone. It can be said that Inelala, who was born in a dark area, should be the most familiar with these creatures!
"It seems that everyone needs to be careful about the itinerary below! Goblins are easy to deal with, just use some tricks to scare them! But Bear Goblins still have some strength, and we are not very advantageous in this terrain!" Wengerns stroked his chin and analyzed the pros and cons of both sides.
Since he had arrived in the dangerous area, Wengerns simply summoned the bones and let the bones sneak in near him in case there were any creatures that were good at stealth attacking.
However, I don’t know if it was because Wengerns and the others were lucky, or because the creatures in the mountains had their own potential to avoid danger. Since they encountered the two skeletons, Wengerns and others had no signs of other potentially dangerous creatures along the way.
Time flowed slowly through the gap between fingers inadvertently, and soon, it was already evening.
Looking at the afterglow of the slowly falling sun in the west and the three moons with vaguely exposed in the corners of the east, Wengerns turned around and said to his companions: "It's getting dark! It's not suitable for rushing the mountain at night, so just find a suitable place to camp nearby!"
After looking at the surrounding environment, everyone felt the coolness of the mountain wind blowing through their skin. Knowing that what Wengerens was saying was the truth, the other three people nodded in agreement and then scattered and began to find a suitable camping spot.
Not long after, Wengerns, who was standing on the uphill point, heard Barond's cheerful shout: "Hey! Come on! Everyone, come here to listen!"
"Speak quietly! This is on the mountain. If you have any troublesome things caused by your voice, I will make you look good!" Anila, who is closest to Baronde, said dissatisfiedly in a low voice.
After this reminder, Baronde obviously remembered his experience of being attacked by flames. He suddenly covered his mouth and turned his head to observe the surroundings. He only put down his hands and breathed a long sigh of relief after confirming that no unknown creatures seemed to be attracted. Seeing Baronde's funny look, Wengerns shook his head with a smile.
After arriving at the position where Baronde was standing, Wengerns immediately noticed a "rake" sound coming into his ears with his extraordinary hearing.
"Falls?" Wengerns said in a questioning tone.
"It should be a waterfall! It's obviously the sound of water. In such a place, it can only be an alpine waterfall!" Renn analyzed.
Wengerns looked up at the sky. The darkness in the deep mountains was not very fast. At this time, the sky was completely dark. Ms. Ye's field was already covered with the entire continent. Judging from the sound of the waterfall, the waterfall probably had to cross a mountain to see.
"Let's go up the mountain road opposite the direction of the waterfall! After all, there may be creatures going to the waterfall to drink water. So it's best to choose a leeward point! We'll walk from the waterfall tomorrow to replenish the water source!" Wengerns decided.
After choosing the position, everyone took out the portable tent that had been prepared in Tal. Although some spells can also have similar effects, no one would agree to waste a trace of power in such a place! Therefore, Enela did not remember this spell, and Wengerns did not need to cast it.
Anyway, this tent is a high-end tent specially made in the Magisters Guild, and its comfort and basic deworming ability are pretty good.
Because of the bones, Wengerns and others didn't even need to keep the night watchers. Wengerns and others trusted the ability of the bones very much. This is also the advantage of their team! At least they can maintain enough rest time in this environment.
