The roads on the plateau always make people feel that the mountains and rivers are desolate, and the temperature drops many degrees as night falls.
Lucille was walking at first, but when it got too cold she couldn't help but move closer to Sean.
"Are you cold?" Sean asked Lucille.
"A little..."
"The climate here is different from that of the desert, and even more different than that of the seaside. If you're not used to it, use magic to maintain your body temperature." Sean whispered.
In fact, for wizards, many things can be simplified, even life becomes much easier. If you are cold, you can cast a magic to keep yourself warm. If you are hot, you can cast a magic to lower the temperature.
In short, a wizard of a high level is as strong as a warrior in front of anyone!
"Is Sister Lucille not used to the climate here?" Thor seemed to notice that Lucille kept rubbing against Sean, and asked subconsciously.
And Lucille nodded seriously.
"I've never been to the plateau before and I'm not used to the climate here..."
"Haha... People here in Steel Knife won't be used to it, but if you spend time here, you'll slowly start to like this place. Compared to the seaside and the plains, this place has a unique pace of life, and the food is also richer."
The places that make people linger are often the ones with the simplest enjoyment, and food is an important part of it.
If the food at a place is delicious, it will indeed be remembered for a long time.
"Sir Thor, do you usually come back to the plateau?" It was getting dark, and the temperature began to drop again. There was no topic to talk about along the way, so Sean found one.
After hearing this, the other party frowned and thought about it.
An expression of reminiscence...
"Not very often, actually. I have to say the rich countries below the plateau are very attractive. In comparison, the Amansha region is much more backward. I'm used to living in big cities and don't really want to come back. But this is our home after all, so we come back every year."
During the communication, Sean gradually formed an impression of the two brothers in his mind.
They were originally born and raised in the country of Xiata, but later left home for various reasons, worked hard outside, and learned some basic combat skills from others, and gradually embarked on the path of becoming bounty hunters.
After that, he left Xiata and entered various countries such as Zambutal to accept missions...
Like those mercenaries, as the main source of livelihood, they will either die in battle during the mission, or this kind of lifestyle will continue as long as they survive.
This is how most of the so-called employed people in this world survive.
That's why they insist on coming here every year to look for dragons. Finding the dragon is a task issued by the ruler of Xiata. If they can complete it, they can not only get a high reward but can even directly change their identity.
You have to know how important identity is to a person, especially to ordinary people.
If Sean had not been lucky enough to travel through time and space and come from a noble family, who knows what his life would have been like. Maybe he would have slowly infiltrated the mercenary group and shined, but in the end he would still be easily targeted by the top leaders of the empire. He was already an earl back then, but he still couldn't escape the frame-up of the Bashalan Empire, let alone the life of an ordinary person.
If you can get an official position or even the status of a baron after completing the dragon hunting mission, it will be enough to live a worry-free life for the rest of your life.
It is for this dream that the two brothers insist on coming here every year to search...
The four of them came down the mountain after dusk, and now it was almost night, but they were still walking in the mountains and forests.
The mountains and forests in the plateau area are quite special. The so-called going up or down the mountain is actually just walking back and forth in different mountains and rivers. You walk from one side to the other, and the entire road is bare and you can't see anything. There are very few forests and most of them are green grass and stones.
"It's late. We can set up camp on the grassland by the river ahead. If I remember correctly, there's a good place over there." said Soran, who was walking in front.
"Is it very far?"
"It's not far. You'll be able to see it after you pass this side."
At this time, the four people just walked out of the forest, which was like an uneven hill. Suddenly, many tiny dots of light appeared in the gray environment in the distance.
"Look, that's over there!" Soran said, pointing to the flat land in the distance.
It's like an open place in a valley.
There are a large number of snow-capped mountains in the plateau area. It is estimated that more than half of the rivers in the entire northern continent originate from here. As long as there is a small open space that can store water, there will be a river.
However, the open space in front of him not only had a river, but also many tents.
"It seems that my previous guess was correct. There are quite a few people coming this year!" said Soran.
"Are all these people going to look for dragons?"
"Very likely."
After all, the two brothers only came back to this place once or twice a year, and they didn't know much about the daily situation. They only knew that this was a good place for travelers to camp, because if they missed this side, the road would probably be completely up the mountain, and this was the best place.
"Of course, they could be some traveling merchants, but no matter what they are, we just have to do our own thing."
Time was very tight, and it was already night. Seeing that there was still some distance to go, the four of them hurried down.
Pitch your tent before it gets completely dark.
Sean and Lucille didn't know the local situation, so of course they could only follow the two brothers...
Coming down the hill, you can see more than twenty star points on a flat area in the center of the valley, which means at least more than twenty groups of people have chosen to camp here.
And everyone has one thing in common, which is to stay as far away from each other as possible.
They could see each other's tent lights, but if they didn't get close, they couldn't hear what the other was saying...
I guess this is a kind of protection for myself.
The four of them chose a place and hurriedly built the tent.
"Looks like we have to take turns keeping watch tonight. After all, with so many people here, no one can trust anyone else!"
"Um."
"How about this? Thor and I will be on duty for the rest of the night. Sir Sean, you can hold the front for a while. As for Sister Lucille, you can rest as long as you want."
Even the two Soran brothers were willing to give in to the only female in the team, who was also relatively young.
"How can that be? Since I have joined the team, I am a member of the team. The instructor and I will be on duty in the first half of the night..." Lucille said unwillingly.
"I believe in my disciples. You two don't need to be so humble, otherwise it will seem disrespectful to us." Sean said.
Since that was what they said, the two brothers could only nod in agreement.
