Chapter 232 85. Journey
“Cheer up, you sea dog!”
The rude second mate is cheering Francois up in the sailor’s way.
Hold the round table and sit by the window. The vast sea made Francois feel better, until a figure walked into the captain's cabin.
"Ugh - stay away from me, Fast... damn fishy vomit..."
Francois felt nauseated again when he smelled the fishy smell.
"I just want to tell you that I caught another big fish."
Fast regretted that the fish he caught on the boat were getting bigger and bigger, but he couldn't find anyone to share them with.
"I feel dizzy now when I see fish, and so do people..." Francois said weakly.
“I’m leaving now!” The second mate obeyed and walked out of the captain’s cabin with Fast.
Standing on the stairs, the second mate said: "The captain is seasick, and many sailors can't stand it. Should we dock for a day's rest?"
"Not yet."
Fas Te held up the gills and said that they had only passed Glacier Harbor not far, and who knew what was hidden in the forest.
“You are the first mate, you have the final say.”
The big fish Fast was carrying struggled a little, and the cold fish tail hit the second mate’s face, and was I turned half a circle and shivered.
...
“It’s so fucking snowy, so damn cold…” Kerian said swearing and slang to complain about the weather, “It seems like I’m back to the damn winter again. "
"Stop complaining about the cold." Losi and Kerian sat side by side on the cart.
The cold-resistant Wan horse dragged the truck through the snow.
They naively thought that the snow was leftover from winter, and then in the evening, snowflakes actually fell from the sky.
The guide of the newspaper team was an arm-broken veteran who retired from the fortress. He chuckled a few times and said that the snow at the foot of the snow-capped mountains would only melt in August, the warmest month, but it would be earlier this year because the snow wave destroyed the forest.
The closer they got to the snow-capped mountains, the lower the temperature became. During this period, they also encountered druids who turned into a flock of birds. They canceled their transformation and landed in front of the convoy.
The procession stopped and the guards were on alert. They were not hostile to the Druids, but no one could tell whether the Druids, who had been fighting the Frost Giants for the past two months, would regard them as enemies.
"We are a team transporting supplies to the Snow Mountain Fortress." The team leader took the initiative to say to them.
The leader, the druid covered with leaves and with fluorescent purple skin, looked at Losi and Kerian again. Their clothes were incompatible with the people around them.
"They are both from Xingyue Bay."
"Xingyue Bay?" an ethereal whisper sounded.
Loxi tried his best to raise the corners of his frozen mouth: "I am Losi, he is Kerrian, we are going to the fortress to interview..."
"King of the North, Magic Newspaper ...Do you know?"
"Uh...that's our lord, the magic newspaper was invented by the lord..." Losey guessed that the leader of this group of druids had read the magic newspaper?
"...I hope you are different from other humans." The purple druid transformed into a warbler and left with his companions.
The team continued on their way, during which Losi returned the magic stone that recorded the first week to Xingyue Bay, and met the Druid. Finally, on the first day of departure, On eleven days they arrived at the foot of the snow-capped mountains.
Loxi and Kerian were deeply shocked. They had never realized how majestic the distant snow-capped mountains were. Looking up, it was like a huge wall rising high at the edge of the world, burrowing into the invisible clouds and mist. deep.
I am afraid that only this kind of terrain can block the demonic tide for hundreds of years...
A large town stands at the foot of the snow-capped mountains. The garrison on the city wall noticed the strange faces mixed in the team and nuzzled at them: "Who are they?"
Losi and Kerrian became the focus again.
The team leader said that they were from the King of the North and wanted to tell the public the true situation of the fortress.
"It's great that there is another nosy noble like Olmedo." The scarred man who said the good words had no shame and opened the city gate to let them in.
Luo Xi thought too much. This place was at best a camp at the foot of the mountain. There were felt tents and wooden houses standing randomly in the city walls, as well as excrement on the frozen ground.
The two of them and the guide were arranged to a felt tent. After a day's rest, Losi found that the team had no sign of continuing to move forward, and couldn't help but ask: "When will we set off?"
"Do you think we Want to 'climb' it?"
"Isn't it?"
The guide just asked them to wait, but on the third day after arriving at the camp, the distant and desolate sound of the horn suddenly sounded in the camp. rang out.
Loxi and Kerian, who thought something had happened, rushed out of the felt tent and saw the team leader looking towards the snow-capped mountains. They didn't know what they were looking at, so they just followed it.
The snow hanging on the rock wall fell, and the echoing horn sound penetrated into the depths shrouded in clouds and mist. I don’t know how much time passed, but the clouds and mist were stirred up, and a group of giant beasts with lion faces and bird bodies emerged.
Krian held the activated magic stone and looked up at this scene in shock, while Losi quickly recorded the scene in front of him.
......
[On May 13th, a few unlucky guys couldn't hold on anymore, so I sent them back to Xingyue Bay, but don't think that the ordeal is over and they have recovered. You have to come back and continue to suffer! 】
【On May 15th, haha, they came back. Watching the smiles on their faces disappear, the smile on my face came back. I have to say... it's not that easy to be a captain. I felt fresh in the first few hours of the voyage, and then I kept vomiting... After I go back, I have to think about who wants to be the captain - I don't think it's legal. Ste is very good. There is actually someone who can fish for fourteen days without getting tired of it... How did he do it? 】
[On May 16th, I just passed a village, which was consistent with the description on the map. It was less than a week's voyage from Yongye Port. 】
【On the 16th, in the evening, I saw a merchant ship. They seemed to be from other continents? Anyway, we are not far from our first seaport of the trip. At that time, we may rest, sell, buy, return, or continue our journey depending on the situation. That ship is really fast... The three-masted ship is actually twice as fast as us... But our broken ship will probably fall apart so quickly...]
Francois closed the logbook and went to Looking out the window - the three-masted sailboat whose buttocks could be seen just now has now merged into the stars, the night sky and the dark sea.
The next morning, a white and yellowish port town appeared on the coastline, surrounded by many fusiform sailboats with strange flags.
They are close to this bustling port. The three-masted sailboat I saw last night was docked beside the pier, and some figures were unloading cargo on the deck.
The initial arrival attracted attention. The shirtless or turbaned sailors stood on the deck holding buckets and mops, looking at the uninvited guest with strange expressions.
"Uh...why do I feel something is wrong?" Francois looked at the second mate in confusion. Are normal sailors like this? Then I saw the second mate holding the mast and shivering.
"Hurry...run away...this is a pirate port!"
