Chapter 251 Little Adventurer
Petwain's efficiency can be said to be very high.
It only took one day to quickly reach the border from Ceylon City.
Normally, this journey is purely on foot, especially if you bring your luggage. It can take up to 3 days at the fastest and 5 days at the slowest. All in all, it will be a quite arduous journey.
How does he achieve such speed?
The answer is krypton gold.
Pettwain spent money directly at the carriage shop in Ceylon City.
A full 20 silver coins.
They hired almost the best carriages available in the dealership at that time.
Various magic and magical effects such as shock absorption and weight reduction have been applied to the body to ensure the speed and endurance of the carriage as much as possible.
A journey that ordinary people would have to walk for several days was compressed into one day.
We set off in the morning on the day when the Hunting Moon begins and arrive at the border in the evening!
But when they arrived at the border defense line, Pet Twain realized that something seemed wrong.
"Why does the border camp seem different from what my brothers and sisters described?"
He remembered hearing that during the Hunting Moon, the area near the border defense line would become very lively.
Hundreds of adventurers from the Ceylon Territory and even surrounding areas, as well as mercenary groups from various places, will gather here.
Especially in the evening, when most people come back with their loot to register.
Although there are people who cross the border every day and never come back, those who successfully return to register with their loot, especially the powerful professionals who bring back Level 2 or even Level 3 monster certificates, will without exception attract all the attention. People's envious eyes.
But what happened this time?
“None of the adventurers came back?”
"They were all buried in the dark forest?"
Pettwain was a little tempted to back down.
The carriage that brought him here hasn't left yet, and the coachman is feeding the horses pulling the carriage with water and food. If Pettwain really wants to leave, he just needs to tell the other party and pay a small sum of money, and he should be able to do so at nightfall tomorrow. before returning to Ceylon City.
…
But he was too embarrassed to go back in such despair.
Especially under the premise that he has already announced that he will take his friends to the dark forest to experience a "real battle".
As a result, he came once and ran back directly without even telling his friends. Wouldn't that be a big shame?
Petwain specially spent money to hire a carriage and was the first to arrive here. He had his own little idea.
If he arrived a day earlier, maybe he could spend money to hire some mercenaries to help him catch two level 0 monsters, let him deal with them first, and create his own "record" before his friends.
This sense of superiority suddenly appeared!
Anyway, at most it's just spending more money to hire people.
He admired Twain for nothing else. Among his friends, he definitely had the most pocket money!
But now the plan has changed.
There are only a few scattered adventurers left in the border defense camp, and they don't seem to be very good at it, and their weapons and equipment don't feel reliable.
There are no powerful mercenaries or adventurers at all!
“Where have everyone gone?” Petty Twain was depressed.
There was another place on the border that Pet Twain was extremely uncomfortable with.
The conditions here are so crude!
The so-called restaurants and pubs were so dirty that Pet Twain didn't dare to look at them. He was afraid that he would get sick if he went in;
A simply built hotel, a room with 4 silver coins per night, in terrible condition. The dirty thin blanket was stained with blood or something else, and there were all kinds of bugs flying in the air and crawling on the ground. , as soon as I entered the room, my mind was filled with a buzzing sound.
Not to mention food.
The worst Pet Twain ate on weekdays was soft white bread. On the way to the border, she ate some snacks from home. However, the best food available here on the border is brown bread with pickles, plus a dark biltong made of who knows what kind of meat?
Before Pettwain came, he never thought that there was no ham on the border!
In short, the environment made him uncomfortable in various ways.
The previous fantasy of destroying monsters and being admired by others was shattered by the terrible reality.
…
Just when Pet Twain was at war with nature in his heart, struggling to decide whether to suffer for the sake of face and stay here, or whether to simply give in and ask the coachman to take him back tomorrow, a young man passing by attracted his attention. Pet Twain's attention.
The young man had long blue hair, slightly curled at the end, and was dyed a beautiful violet color.
The white silk mask covered most of his face, and he could only see his bright black eyes and handsome eyebrows.
He was dressed like an adventurer.
A set of leather armor protects various key parts of the body. A water bladder and dry food bag are hung around the waist. The legs of the trousers are tucked into leather boots to protect the legs and ankles from thorns, thatch, mosquitoes and even snakes. of harm.
The two weapons carried behind his back are very strange.
A one-handed short sword was safely inserted into the leather scabbard. Just from the pattern on the hilt, it could be seen that it was of high quality;
On the other side is a curved short-handled wooden staff with a crimson gem inlaid at the top.
Just from her appearance, Pei Twain feels reliable!
At first glance, he looks like an experienced adventurer who is good at destroying monsters!
The only thing that is a bit inconsistent is the height of the other party.
Pet Twain is 15 years old this year. When she was still growing, she is now only 1.69 meters tall;
The young adventurer was nearly a head shorter than him.
Pet Twain estimated that the other party was probably only 1.45 meters tall!
Based on the average height of men in the Leyak Kingdom, this guy's height probably belongs to the extremely rare dwarfism level among humans.
But no matter what, this is the only adventurer Pet Twain has seen so far in the border camp that he thinks is reliable!
Quickly call the other party:
"That... little friend!"
Subconsciously calling out the other person's most obvious features.
Sure enough, the other party stopped, turned around, and looked at Pet Twain with a somewhat unkind look.
Pettwain didn't even realize that the way he addressed her just now was a bit disturbing.
Get to the point.
"Friend, do you know what happened here in the camp? Where have the adventurers and mercenaries gone?"
"If you know useful information, I can pay you."
"For 1 silver coin, I can buy the information you know, no problem!"
The small adventurer looked at Pet Twain critically.
A voice came from beneath the silk mask.
It was a rough and hoarse male voice that did not suit his body shape:
"I also heard the news. I cannot guarantee its authenticity, so there is no need to pay."
"There is no one here at the border defense line. It may be that they have all gone to a newly developed territory called Xiwei Territory in the dark forest."
I learned a place name from a little adventurer.
"Siwei Land?" Pet Twain repeated subconsciously.
When did a civilized territory exist in the dark forest?
Why hasn't he heard his brothers and sisters mention it?
