Chapter 12 The Raft
The time the two spend together is not many days, but the relationship between the two has really improved a lot. After all, no one can not go to the toilet for 24 hours...
After the shame is over, you will always adapt.
Both Xiang En and Andrea are not in the mood to care about such small things. The location they are in is actually not good. There are many trees growing on one side of the cliff, but this is an isolated rift valley. You can see a canyon when you walk.
After two consecutive days of banning bombing, the floodwaters have completely submerged the surrounding mountains. The surrounding area of D'Aer City is originally a basin terrain. The purpose of those great mages may be to artificially create a "Caspian Sea".
Xiang En was thinking of a way to escape. Crossing the mountains was a helpless idea before, but now he doesn't dare to think that way anymore.
In the past two days, apart from the sound of the flood, the most common thing was the strange roar of monsters coming from the depths of the mountains.
A large area of the forest was compressed, and those animals that fled to the depths of the mountains would definitely disturb the original ecology. Xiang En didn't want to be gnawed off by crazy monsters.
In contrast, the gentleness of the flood made Xiang En think of a possibility.
The topography of the basin is high and low, and the mountains will not be completely circular. The water flow is no longer escaping. It is estimated that those archmages cast dams with earth elements to trap the water inside.
Xiang En looked at the map, and if he wanted to leave the province of D'Aer, he had to move north, which was the right side of the cliff facing the city of D'Aer.
Andrea had already figured out for him where to go after leaving D'Aire province.
Andrea's full name is Andrea Alva. The surname in this world represents the status of a nobleman, but Andrea is not a descendant of a great nobleman, but a young girl of an ordinary baron family. "Family younger brother" is like a word, so it is not taken seriously.
Wanting to become an adventurer, she was immediately sent by her father to receive professional education at Del Ayer Academy. Unfortunately, apart from her natural resilience, she didn't have any commendable talents.
Their current destination is Andrea's family territory, which is located in the Michalda Plain next to the province of D'Aire. During the period, they will pass through the northern province, obtain supplies from five towns there, and explore the outside world by the way. What was the reaction to De Ire City's move.
There is the top professional academy in the empire in the city of De Aier, with a wide network of contacts and a high degree of attention.
Now they have flooded the entire basin with forbidden techniques, directly killing tens of thousands of people. After doing such a frenzied thing, the empire should more or less make a statement.
Xiang En wondered how the empire would handle this matter.
"Xiang En, how do we get out of here?"
After walking on the edge of the cliff, Andrea came back with a sad expression on her face and a little hope.
There are only two ways to leave the Province of D'Aire, either to make a raft and leave from the water, or to detour through the dangerous Warcraft Forest.
Xiang En looked at Andrea's hand. There was only a small dagger left there. It was not a good choice to walk through the dangerous World of Warcraft forest.
The former D'Air City was full of high-level monsters. These fierce guys were hunted and killed by equally powerful adventurers, and many professionals from the civilized continent appeared. This is why D'Aer Academy, the top professional colleges.
Although there are no high-level monsters on the outskirts of the forest, any one of the monsters inside the mountains may be silver-level, relying on the two of them to think about it...
It's not impossible, but Xiang En still chose the waterway, which is not only faster, but also safer than walking in the forest.
There was almost nothing underwater that could threaten the two of them. Even if they fell into the water, they had recovered and they were not afraid.
It is a habit formed by Xiang En to eliminate procrastination in her previous life when she thinks about it.
Leaving the cliff with Andrea, they are going to find a suitable place to make a raft, and then use the raft to move them north.
The road didn't go far, and the two came to a mountainside that was submerged in water. There were many traces of monster activities nearby, but they didn't see any monsters.
The monsters should have crossed the mountains and entered the deeper forests in search of food.
Building a raft is very simple, and Xiang En didn't even think about making the raft cross the ocean. He tied more than a dozen pieces of wood together, stuffed some leaves to increase buoyancy, and just made a six by six raft and launched it into the water.
The fluidity of the flood became much weaker when they were making rafts, and there were no major accidents when Xiang En and Andrea went into the water.
Andrea grabbed a long log and paddled desperately on the raft, while Xiang En fished on the raft with peace of mind.
He is a baby daddy, and he needs to be protected during the battle. It is not a problem for the soldiers to do more work!
In addition, the weak state has not fully recovered, forty-eight hours, and it will probably not be able to exert strength until the afternoon is approaching the evening.
The raft was wobbling and the current was turbulent, with occasional waves, so they were moving very slowly.
The flood flooded all the buildings in D'Aer City except the mage's tower, and Xiang En was not worried that those mage masters would kill people to silence them.
The power of the archmage is very powerful, especially the archmage who stays in the mage tower full of magic circle diagrams. They can use the assistance of the mage tower to obtain a great increase in ability.
Ordinary farsightedness and magic power measurement are just basic functions, and the high-level mage tower in D'Aire City can also perform three-dimensional modeling on a wide range of fields.
When Xiang En was in the academy, he had entered the mage tower to observe it. The magic was really outrageous, which made him suspect that he had entered the virtual game space.
Although I am not very worried, I still have to leave here as soon as possible to avoid worse results.
The raft rowed all day and night, but still moved slowly under the influence of the flood.
And this place can no longer be called a flood. The archmages used the eighth-level non-lethal forbidden technique, and really forcibly created a big lake.
After two days of turbulence, the lake slowly calmed down, only a few wind-blown waves were swaying.
The lake water was still muddy, Xiang En squatted beside the raft, swallowed with a dry throat, stretched out his hand to stir in the dirty water, couldn't help holding a little closer to his mouth.
He was too thirsty, and if he didn't drink a little water, he was afraid that he would not be able to find a clean water source.
But just when he was about to drink the water, a clothed corpse floated on the water in front of him, which startled him...
I don't know what kind of chain reaction was triggered. More and more corpses surfaced on the lake, some of which were human beings, as well as monsters.
Andrea, who was paddling the raft, also saw these floating corpses, her hands froze, and she looked at the floating corpses around her with a heavy expression.
The number seems small, but it covers all the areas that the lake can see. These may have been caught by the branches and prevented from being swept away by the flood, or they may have been brought back by the backflow of water after the flood hit the mountain. of.
In short, the two of them stared at this scene in a daze, completely speechless...
hum!
There was a faint tremor under the water surface, and the ripples on the water surface were spreading. The originally turbid water began to become clear at a speed visible to the naked eye, gradually revealing the trees below and the magical lines emitting light under the water.
Shaking off the dirty water that had almost leaked from his hands, Xiang En sat down on the raft, and suddenly he lost interest in drinking water.
Seeing the corpses floating on the lake, he even lost his appetite.
