Chapter 22: The Wizard's Journey
Most of the time we were sailing in the river, going from river to river, from stream to stream.
There are also some sections of the road that are on the ground. At this time, several mechanical legs will extend from the bottom of the ship. Although it is shaky, the speed is not slow at all.
Generally we go downstream, but sometimes we go upstream, and then we will see a large number of fish in the river, dragging the boat upstream.
During the day, you can occasionally see curious animals chasing the boat on the embankment, including pure white deer, flaming squirrels, and even a tiny forest elf with dragonfly wings playing and leading the way on the bow, racing with the boat.
At night, you can hear singing coming from deep in the forest. It's the siren singing in the woods.
After sailing for three days, Luo Xi got off the ship at a pier on the eastern border of the Witch Domain on the South Coast. It was still hundreds of miles away from the destination, but the wizard ship's route only went this far.
There is no other way, just throw away the ham.
Looking at the lush forests in front of him, Luo Xi took out the map he had prepared in advance.
This is a magic map purchased on Fairy Street. It can display the holder's location and plan the route to the destination, which is a bit like the electronic navigation on Earth.
Without this thing, Luo Xi might never be able to get out of this lush forest.
In addition to the map, Luo Xi also made other preparations for this journey, such as a tent for rest. This is not an ordinary tent. It has a space of seven or eight square meters and comes with a small bed and a table.
In addition, there is a big black pot with its own recipe. You just put in the ingredients and tell it what you want, and it will cook it automatically.
Phosphorus powder, just a handful can easily ignite a flame, outdoor life cannot be without it.
The lantern installed with magic gems is convenient for Luo Xi to read in the tent at night. One magic stone can provide continuous lighting for several nights.
There are also magic fishing rods that can catch fish by themselves, incense that repels mosquitoes, and so on.
In total, more than two hundred magic stones were spent. In the past three years, Luo Xi basically didn't spend any magic stones, but he still saved up several hundred of them.
The space pocket before definitely couldn't hold so many things. The space equipment Luo Xi is using now is a space bracelet, which was a reward given by Witch Catherine in a previous test. It has about three cubic meters of space.
After traveling during the day, when I feel tired, I would find a river and catch two fish, throw them into the pot to make a delicious fish soup, and eat some dry food prepared in advance. At night, I would light a bonfire and hide in the tent.
“Enjoy the fish soup seriously, time +2 days.”
"Hurry up and add 3 days to the time."
"Enjoy the night sky carefully, time +1 day..."
After walking and stopping for five days, Luo Xi finally arrived at the Misty Forest, where the witch domain and the human world meet on the south coast.
A few days later, west of the Kingdom of Karel, in the Misty Forest.
In the forest, Pierre was picking up firewood on the ground. The caravan was going to camp here today, and everyone who had only paid for the team's travel expenses had to help. Pierre's task was to collect firewood for the campfire.
While bending down to pick up firewood, Pierre kept turning his head and looking around, looking nervous and worried.
This forest is extremely weird, as it is shrouded in fog all day long. Some say that there are wizards living in it, and these are obstacles set up by the wizards to prevent harassment from humans, but it is also said that there are unclean things.
Some time ago, even the high and mighty Earl of the West came to this forest to hunt, but fell ill for no apparent reason when he returned.
He was a great knight, one of the strongest men in the kingdom. Normally, ordinary illnesses would never happen to a man of this level, let alone he became ill all of a sudden.
"Ancestors, please protect me. I just want to reach Fengxi City safely and make a living. Don't let anything happen to me."
Just as I was praying to this point, suddenly, a sound of footsteps came from the forest.
“Da da da…”
Pierre suddenly became nervous and felt his breathing slow down.
The sound came from inside the forest, but that place was deep in the forest and no one would come close by. How could there be the sound of human footsteps?
"I must have heard it wrong?"
Just as Pierre was thinking this, the footsteps sounded again, this time even clearer.
At the same time, a human figure was vaguely seen in the fog.
"No, no!"
Pierre felt his heart stop beating at this moment.
Before he could figure out what to do, a voice came from the fog: "Excuse me."
"ah!"
Pierre screamed and jumped up in fright, then fell to the ground with his buttocks, and the firewood in his hand instantly scattered all over the ground.
The sound in the fog suddenly stopped, and the figure seemed to be frightened and stopped where it was.
He waved his hand, and at that moment a gust of wind came from nowhere, blowing away the thick fog around the figure, and Pierre was able to see his face clearly.
This is a handsome young man, or to be more precise, a teenager, with black hair, wearing a gray-black cloak, and dressed like a traveler.
Pierre asked doubtfully, "Are you a human or a ghost?"
Luo Xi scratched his head and asked in confusion, "Did I do anything that made you misunderstand me?"
Pierre finally recovered.
He got up from the ground, patted the mud off his butt, and asked unhappily: "Why did you come from that direction? I was almost scared to death. I thought I saw a ghost."
Luo Xi looked back, seemingly not understanding what Pierre meant.
"Um?"
At this moment, Pierre seemed to have discovered something. He looked Luo Xi up and down and asked in confusion: "Strange, why have I never seen you in the team? Are you from our team?"
"The convoy?"
Luo Xi shook his head: "No, I think you misunderstood."
After a pause, he performed a simple courtesy and introduced himself and explained his purpose: "My name is Luo Xi, I am a traveler, and I plan to go to Blackstone Castle."
"I have been traveling alone in the forest for many days. I don't have enough dry food with me. I just saw you, so I wanted to ask you to borrow some. I also want to ask you where the nearby post station is."
There was still plenty of dry food. In fact, what Luo Xi really wanted to ask about was the post station.
Although it is very pleasant to travel alone, Luo Xi is a little tired after walking for so many days. There are still one or two hundred miles to go. It would be much easier if there is a place like an inn to take transportation or buy a horse.
Pierre looked at Rosie suspiciously: "Traveler? Traveling alone in this damn place?"
He looked Luo Xi up and down. With his fair and delicate skin, he could tell at first glance that he was born into a wealthy family.
He must be some young nobleman who has nothing better to do and wants to go out and gain experience!
Pierre quickly labeled Rosie a nobleman, and his attitude suddenly became much more enthusiastic: "So that's how it is."
He joked, "You came from over there. I thought I had run into the legendary wizard."
