Surviving The Fourth Natural Disaster Chapter 489: The first wave of guests greeted by the Swamp of the Dead
This is a convoy from Neverwinter to Waterdeep.
Winter is coming again, and they need to sell some Neverwinter handicrafts and wine furs bought from Luskan in exchange for winter food and some magic materials.
Generally, caravans like them are a motley army of small business associations, and they can't afford to rent a large ship that can bypass the Swamp of the Undead in Neverwinter.
Although the straight-line distance is not very far, the boat is not capable of passing through the sea of the dead.
The leader of the team who was elected because of his strongest strength, the 10th-level warrior Saha breathed a sigh of relief. The most troublesome place is coming.
They must hurry through the Undead Swamp before dusk.
This section of the road is actually the most embarrassing. If you want to reach the entrance when the sun rises in the early morning, this section of the road must be walked day and night.
Although after coming out of Neverwinter City, I could only sleep in the wilderness when I was resting, but rushing on the road without rest at all, even if the caravan was full of strong adults and even professionals, I felt that my physical strength was too much.
And you have to walk for another day without stopping, so it's no wonder that the price of anything in Neverwinter is much higher.
Sarah sighed, the location here is actually really good, and the undead and beasts don't actually hurt people that much.
But the gloomy and cold wind is the most terrifying thing. Many people walk back and forth, and they have to lie down for seven or eight days when they go back.
Sarah glanced at the bronze pocket watch in her hand and felt that she had enough time, so she let the already tired team rest for an hour.
He kept telling those who were slumped on the ground to get more sun.
"Sarah!" A small team leader who went out to explore the road suddenly shouted, "Come and see! There is someone living in the Undead Swamp!"
Saha, who was smoking a pipe, was so frightened that he almost fell his beloved sea wood inlaid silver pipe. Did you get into that gray fog? Get some sunshine! Willie!"
"I'm so far from the swamp! I can't read it wrong, it must be an archmage! His house is floating in the air!" The brown-haired ranger with a moustache was unhappy He replied, "Can't you see it by yourself? Saha."
Saha calmly knocked on his pipe and looked up hesitantly. This is a corner, just blocking the gloomy wind blowing from the Swamp of the Undead. He looked up and saw only the tall mountains.
Saha and Willie have worked together for many years, and knowing that he won't get into trouble at such a time, he decided to gather some members of the team with a higher professional level to walk over and have a look.
They walked about 500 meters, then turned a corner around the mountain, and everyone saw the white palace floating among the clouds.
And the billowing white mist that stretched from the ground to the clouds, almost to another world.
But the fog is not like the gray fog before, it makes people feel terrified and desperate when they see it, and they just want to run away.
And there was no white fog on the road.
The Swamp of the Undead and their location are still 3 kilometers away. This is also a safe distance measured by the caravan over the years to rest assured. The gray fog with the breath of the undead will never float here.
"The white palace, shouldn't it be a necromancer?" Someone murmured.
"No!" Saha suddenly cheered up, "I thought they were joking, but it turned out to be true!"
He looked at a few of his companions who were staring at him, and smiled proudly: "Didn't I supply Moonstone Masks! When I sent flowers to them last time, I heard some nobles and archmage Talk about it.
A natural archmage bought the piece of land in the Undead Swamp, and bought two pieces together, and obtained the authority of the lord.
They also said that in a few years, a magic tower might be built here to help purify the earth, natural mage! It is normal to choose such a place to save nature.
I didn't expect it to come so soon!
"How strong is this natural archmage? Why are these two pieces of land worth tens of thousands of dollars? Is he so rich?" Willie said suddenly.
Saha turned his head and took a look. This ranger, who he had always suspected of having a problem with his identity and who was likely to be a part-time thief, said sternly: "He dares to publicly scold the goddess of wealth, and none of the thieves in Silvermoon City dare to provoke him!
Those thieves even killed the favored ones of the Goddess of Fortune, but they didn't even dare to put a fart in front of him.
It is said that his mansion in Silvermoon City has countless good things in it, but no thief has ever spied on it.
It's no secret that Silvermoon City has Maisk's favored ones.
It was heard some time ago that Cyric's men were involved in the murder of Vol'jin's Blessed Ones.
It's just so chaotic, this natural mage was not disturbed by anyone during his days in Silvermoon City. It is said that he is a half-elf, and there is a powerful force behind him, and no one dares to provoke him. "
He looked around the disbelieving face and said very solemnly: "I didn't believe it because what they said was too incredible.
However, the floating castle has appeared before our eyes.
Let's not say anything else, this person is the top-level existence in terms of financial resources and strength. No matter who it is, don't cause any trouble, no matter how small!
Ugly words up front, if anyone really did something, I would definitely give up this ally. "
Willie glanced at Saha, who was watching him warningly, and showed an embarrassed smile: "Natural Mage, that is the nemesis of Shadow Walker. Unless you read the book of madmen like Mask, no thief will to provoke them."
Saha doesn't understand what Willy means by restraint, but at least the guy promised not to cause trouble.
He turned his head to greet the rested team members and hurriedly set off.
The part of entering the Swamp of the Undead was still gloomy and cold, but after walking 2 kilometers, the temperature in the air suddenly returned to normal.
However, everyone could no longer look at the thick white fog rolling on both sides of the road, but stared directly at the white temple.
Although it is impossible to tell what gem the aqua blue light on the white marble comes from, everyone can see how expensive this thing must be.
And this kind of gem that will be stored in the treasure house of the great noble is inlaid on a roadside temple.
Even though the shrine looked divine and elegant, the merchants focused on the more valuable gems. [space]
"Which temple is this?" Willy's muttering woke everyone up. Although everyone could feel that the temple belonged to the good camp, no one knew it.
"Go! Go and have a look." Saha said directly, "Natural Mage's neighbor, there won't be a big problem. Isn't it just about belief! Don't most of us here believe in everyone? !”
Even if there is a claimed main god, that doesn't prevent them from worshipping other gods.
Hill stood in his study, watching the caravan with Aglaia, and quickly discovered the pure clear water pool near the temple.
They almost rushed into the temple without hesitation, and after paying homage to the goddess holding a water purification bottle, they took out the bottle and started pouring water.
Aglaia watched the movement below.
At this time, she is not suitable to stay in the temple, otherwise the light of prayer will fly around the statue and fly to her.
Aglaia wanted to see if her restrictions were working.
Sure enough, someone took a bottle of water and was not satisfied, and took out the bucket. There was even a guy with a two-way moustache who wanted to climb directly under the statue on the platform to receive the purest holy water. .
These people were thrown straight out of the temple.
Hill has heard their leader yelling.
But someone has found the hotel, and they're already debating whether to stay or not.
Actually, it's not a problem to drive all night now, Hill has no plans to attract guests.
But these guys with tired faces quickly decided to move in.
There is no sense of panic even when they are greeted by a somewhat stiff puppet.
Hill thinks these people probably know that the realm belongs to an archmage.
"Papa Hill!" Aglaia asked thoughtfully, "Are they exaggerating to test my bottom line? I want to see if I will treat them like this in order to gain faith. Behavior shows tolerance~IndoMTL.com~ That's right." Hill praised, "Aglaia is very thoughtful. But they think that you are a novice just starting the temple, and you may not be so thoughtful. So think Try to see if you can get more benefits directly.
Especially pure holy water, a bottle of 500 gold, if you really find them cheap, those people will definitely dig three feet. "
Aglaia nodded, and then said quietly: "With the undead ahead, any of the gods in Trahir knows what it means to be cautious.
Otherwise, the temple could be demolished. "
Hill looked sideways at Aglaia, who had an indifferent face. When he was working hard with the Earth Bear, it seemed that Aglaia had also suffered a lot!
The temple is really thoughtful, and even uses a fountain to separate the place where the beasts drink from the area where humans are active.
Liszt appeared behind them: "Martha said that the tavern has started to have guests, and the music played by the puppets is not very fond of those people. The wine they buy is also the cheapest ale.
Terry was a little bored and was chatting with the leader. "
"With such a young face, what would others talk to him?" Aglaia sneered.
"Marsha thinks that the team leader is a little suspicious that Terry is the child of the owner of this place, and he is asking his parents inside and out." Liszt smiled.
Aglaia's face quickly elongated: "Damn it! What kind of alcohol is a kid drinking! His dad is not a sensible one."
Hill couldn't help but stroked her hair: "Terry will reveal his secrets soon, not many people think he has anything to do with me."
Anyway, dragons do everything, and it's normal for someone like Terry to be a tailor and sell flowers!
People in Neverwinter and Waterdeep should be used to it.
Especially this year.
