Chapter 436 Remembering the Past

A day later, the mountain was in sight.

Xiaobai lay on the cabin glass early in the morning, staring at the mountains outside with his mouth wide open: “Oh, the mountains have grown so high!”

Wang: “I told you this mountain is very high, right?”

Xiaobai: “I’ll go out and take a look.”

After saying this, without waiting for Wang to reply, she rushed to the cabin door and opened the door leading to the corridor outside.

Then the strong wind knocked her to the ground.

The strong wind blew in like crazy, forcing Elizabeth to lie on the table.

Wang raised his hand, activated the magician’s hand, and closed the door.

“You really don’t know why we’re all in the house.” Wang looked at Xiaobai who had just gotten up and said, “We’re still far away now. The wind will be stronger if we get closer. Maybe the Wizard’s Hand won’t be able to close the door. We’ll have to use all kinds of ‘hands’ from Bigby.”

Bigby is a wizard who is good at using force fields. He likes to use force fields to form his hands into various shapes.

The famous Bigby Crushing Palm and Bigby King Kong Fist are his masterpieces.

Xiao Bai lowered her head to adjust her skirt which was blown askew, and asked: “Why is the wind so strong?”

Wang: “Because the mountains block the airflow, the air conditions near such high mountains will be very complicated, with strong winds everywhere.”

Nini: “When I climbed the world’s mountains, I often saw flag-like clouds on the peaks.”

Wang: “Flag clouds are formed when strong winds suddenly lose their restraints after passing over the mountain tops, causing the air pressure to drop. As a result, the water vapor in the air condenses into water droplets, forming clouds.”

Xiao Bai immediately leaned over to the window again: “No way! No! You’re lying!”

Wang: “We are on this side of the mountain. It is winter now, and the wind is blowing towards the mountain. The flag cloud is on the back. We will be able to see it when we enter the route.”

Elizabeth: “Before we enter the route, should we go to Langdon to get some supplies?”

The place where Nini climbed over the mountain was very close to the Shield Road. After all, the Savior Team met her in the Valley Territory downstream of the Landon Territory, and her route over the mountain was a little further up to the Landon Territory.

If we deviate slightly from the route, we can visit Landon Territory.

The king looked at Elizabeth and asked, “Are you homesick?”

She shrugged, “It’s actually okay, but I can go back and take a look and resupply at the same time.”

Wang: “But our guide is Nini, and we have to take her route over the mountain.”

Master Li Guang suddenly said, “Remember to go to the Zen temple where I practice.”

Wang: “You see we have to take a detour, why not just go straight into the mountain.”

Nini: “If we want to go to Langdon Territory with the current wind direction, we will have to consume a lot of fuel out of thin air.”

Marika: “Your Highness, you will be able to see your two brothers next year when the Salvation Conference is held.”

“I don’t miss my brothers. I just want to go back and see Madam Meili. Forget it, just pretend I didn’t say anything.”

Flint laughed and said, “I want to go back and see the shabby tavern in Gallows Square, where I lost all my money.”

The king recalled his first encounter with the dwarf. This guy was literally thrown out of the tavern naked.

“Naked butt?” Franka asked curiously, lying flat on the bulkhead. “Is this a metaphor or is it real?”

“It’s true,” Flint laughed. “At that time, I traded my armor for chips, hoping to make a big profit, but I ended up losing everything and was thrown out.”

Marika snorted, “This guy’s armor has a recall function. If he shouts “recall”, it will automatically return to his body. However, the appraiser at the exchange place did not identify this property so quickly, so he took advantage of this.

“I guess he’s a repeat offender.”

It takes time for an appraiser to appraise an item. Very few people can fully identify the performance of equipment after just a few dozen minutes like Wang. Not to mention the appraisers who are responsible for appraising collateral in the shabby tavern. It would take at least several hours to discover the secret of the dwarf’s armor.

Of course, there are also chip exchange counters in casinos that will wait until the appraiser has appraised the collateral before issuing chips. In such places, Flint would probably shout “I won’t mortgage it because it’s too troublesome”, pick up his armor and leave.

After being exposed by the drow, Flint was a little embarrassed: “It was indeed quite embarrassing at that time, mainly because all the property I had obtained through adventures in the past was taken away by thieves and scammers.

“Besides, I didn’t win the favor of Kailin at that time. If I was Kailin’s messenger at that time, I would never have ended up making money by cheating in the tavern.”

Wang: “Making money? I thought you were addicted to gambling, but it turns out this is your livelihood.”

Flint: “Oh, don’t mention that time. Who hasn’t been embarrassed?”

Marika actually nodded: “Indeed. I was also embarrassed before I met His Highness. Thinking about it this way, His Highness is our lucky star.”

Elizabeth: “Really? I’m awesome.”

Franka: “Karen must like you making a fool of yourself like this, right?”

Flint shook his head. “Karen’s eyes weren’t on me at all at that time, understand? I was tap dancing behind him, scaring the owner of the tavern into thinking that the Knight had come to suppress him, but was that useful? Karen couldn’t see it, so it was useless for me to make a fool of myself.

“It should be said that my lucky star is not Her Highness the Princess, but you, King. You attracted Kailin’s attention and let him see that I am having fun. That’s how I became successful.”

Wang: “That seems to make sense.”

Franca: “What about the others? What’s your story before you joined the team? Marika, you don’t need to tell me, because I have already read your evil thoughts and have access to those memories.”

The bard Gaines also agreed: “Let’s talk about it. It is very suitable as the introduction stage of the characters in the epic poem.”

For the next two hours, the group ate their rations, drank the beer that Flint had conjured up, and recalled their adventures along the way.

Elizabeth suddenly said, “What do you think of Misha Sara? Has she found her tribe?”

“She must have found us,” Marika said. “Misha Sara is a very good and experienced cat person. Maybe she has already arranged everything and is ready to cross the World Mountains again to come back and find us.”

Elizabeth: “Then we won’t miss it?”

Wang: “Don’t worry, the news that the World Salvation Conference will be held in the Thorn Islands next year has spread. Although Misha Sala is on the other side of the World Mountain Range, she should get the news soon.”

Marika added: “Misha Sara is more familiar with the city’s underworld than I am. She will definitely get the information. We will definitely meet at the Salvation Conference next year.”

Elizabeth nodded slightly.

**

At this moment, Misha Sara was frowning and looking at the town in front of him.

The whole town looked like a spider’s nest, with spider webs all over the ground.

“What the hell?” she muttered softly.

Chapter 437 The reappearance of old friends

Misha Sala was very sure that the small town in front of her no longer smelled of living things – at least not the smell of living things that she was familiar with.

She came to this small town because she got the information at the previous stop that “there is a tribe of cat people nomadic to the Bola Grassland”.

This small town is a market on the edge of the Bola Grassland. If the Cat Man tribe really hunts on the grassland, they should come here to obtain iron tools.

Cat people don’t know how to forge iron, so the blacksmiths in the tribe can only repair the iron pots and knives in the tribe.

Micha Sala remembers that when he was a child, the blacksmith once repaired a large iron pot and was scolded by the clan leader.

That is the largest iron pot in the clan. On major festivals, they use that iron pot to stew soup for the whole clan.

Cat people rarely make soup, so Misha Sala still remembers the delicious broth from her childhood, and she looks forward to the holidays every day just for this.

Yes, although they are both demihumans, Xiaobai likes to eat meat and has little interest in soup, while Misha Salad is the opposite.

Although the cat’s tongue is an obstacle to drinking soup, it does not prevent Misha Sala from liking hot soup.

Misha Sala shook his head, brushing away the memory that suddenly hit his mind, and focused on the matter in front of him.

Spider webs, possibly large spiders attacking the settlement – a very rare occurrence, but not necessarily impossible.

Goblins even train spiders to become mounts, riding those ferocious spiders like the orcs’ wolf cavalry.

It’s a pity that spiders are not warrior wolves after all. Spiders themselves are quite fragile. Any strong human can break the shell of spider cavalry with a war hammer.

Therefore, the spider cavalry has little impact, let alone the human spear phalanx, they may not even be able to rush through the heavy armored infantry setting up the shield wall.

But spiders have an advantage. They look very scary and can scare human soldiers.

The current situation in this market is very likely that the spider army is attacking and frightening the small town’s vigilante group. This kind of small town only has fences as defense, and the panicked vigilante group will most likely not be able to stop the spider army.

With this conjecture, Mishashala pulled out his melee weapon, carefully cut open the cobwebs in front of him, and began to move forward along the streets of the small town.

At least you need to know what happened here. Then take the information and report it to the local lord, and you can exchange for some reward money.

As a ranger, this is how Misha Sala earned his travel expenses before joining the Salvation Team.

Sometimes when meeting some lords who like to hunt, Mishashala will find information about the most valuable prey in the forest and sell it to the lords. If the lord is willing to pay more money, the former chief hunter of the cat tribe will even take the nobles to the prey in person.

With the idea of ​​​​making a fortune, Misha Sala gradually went deep into the small town.

She looked at several rooms along the way and found that there were no traces of fighting at all. In some rooms, there was even food on the table. Based on the deterioration of the food, it could be inferred that the incident in the small town happened about a week ago.

It was winter now, and the lord’s tax collectors had already collected the autumn taxes, so there were no official personnel to check on the situation in the small town.

Towns close to the forest are patrolled by the lord’s forest ranger team from time to time.

There are not many trees around this small town.

So reporting the situation depends entirely on mercenaries like Misha Sala.

The catman moved forward cautiously, carefully examining the marks on the ground.

She found quite a few footprints, and nothing had damaged them these days.

The catman speculated that the townspeople had gathered a few days ago – in the central square of the small town or somewhere. They should have been summoned, perhaps by the order of the mayor or the call of the parish priest.

As for what the scene in the central square will be like now, Micha Sala doesn’t dare to think about it.

She headed towards the spire of the church bell tower in the distance. Generally, this kind of city church is right next to the central square.

This kind of clock tower usually also plays the role of telling the time to the residents. After all, in such a city, there may not be a mechanical pocket watch in the whole city.

Misha Sala moved forward cautiously, but before he reached the square, he smelled a strange smell.

It wasn’t a foul odor, no, it was more like the smell of old skin rubbed off the body by someone who hadn’t showered in years.

She frowned.

She had smelled it on the traitor named Mark.

Finally, the central square arrived.
