Chapter 436: Journey to Sel
After finishing repairs by the stream, the team began to plan their next trip.
The destination was naturally proposed by Tang Sen. There was no doubt that he wanted to go to Sere to retrieve the knowledge of Netheril that was lost in the Mage Tower.
The other three people had no objections to this. Cui Xi had no sense of danger at all. She was very interested in everything related to adventure. The more legendary the adventure sounded, the more interested she was.
Traveling to the territory of a red mage and stealing the collection of a legendary lich sounds more legendary than anything else.
Baan had just obtained a complete set of equipment, and now it was expanding, shouting that he would smash the heads of those red-robed mages with the conquest hammer in his hand.
As for Naomi Hanni, going to Sale was not part of the previous agreement between Tang Sen and her. According to the previous agreement, she can now leave the team and return to Neverwinter City to continue living her small life.
But when Tang Sen proposed the destination, she didn't put forward any opinions.
Probably because the problem of the half-blood in her body has not been solved yet. Tang Sen was happy because it saved trouble, even though Tang Sen had already thought about how to persuade the other party to go together.
As a high-level rogue, Naomi is an indispensable member for the journey to Cyre.
Others, including Tang Sen, have no experience in sneaking into that kind of place. After all, Ser is the only country in Faerûn that uses a large number of undead creatures to replace labor.
Although there are a large number of living people in Sayre, it is difficult for the living to gain a prominent position in Sayre. Sayre believes that undead creatures are the preferred state of the people on this land, which will make them full of infinite possibilities. and immeasurable power.
The country operates on a strict social hierarchy, with red wizards considered to be the upper echelons of Ser society, who are the aristocratic class ruled by the magical oligarchy, followed by the Mulan bureaucracy, priests, merchants, soldiers and mixed Muslims. Lan-Leatherman artists and craftsmen, semi-skilled laborers and ordinary laborers were only a slight step above the vast number of slaves of almost every race gathered from all parts of the realm.
And the slave—Sazastan, the ruler of Ser, has a saying that is known to almost everyone in Faerûn.
"Slavery will always be a way of life in Sale for as long as I exist, and I can assure you that I will be here for a long time to come."
In short, this is a country with almost no goodwill. No one is willing to enter this place except businessmen who take risks for profit.
"Sere is in the eastern part of Faerûn, in the Sea of Fallen Stars area. It's a very long distance to get there from the Eternal Wasteland."
Barn took out a map, clicked on Serge's location, and said: "If it is an ordinary caravan that wants to go to the Falling Star Sea area, it will usually take the seaside business road."
He planned a route with his fingers: "From Neverwinter to Waterdeep, all the way down, through the Trade Road, passing by the edge of the High Wasteland, through the Fields of the Dead, directly to Baldur's Gate, and then across from Baldur's Gate. The continent, passing through Elturgard, skirting the Sunset Mountains and the Stormhorn Mountains, reaches the Dragon Coast in the Dragon Lake region."
"That's the area where the Mask of the Night is." Naomi interrupted.
"Your hometown?" Tang Sen asked.
"Who knows?" Naomi said calmly: "I have been in the Mask of the Night since I can remember. I am not interested in finding out whether I was abducted or where they picked it up."
"In short, the Dragon Coast is not the final destination yet." Barn quickly changed the topic to prevent the atmosphere from becoming depressing due to Naomi's straightforward self-narration: "We still need to take a boat, cross the Sea of Fallen Stars, and arrive at Feifei. Eastern part of London, a Byzantine port city belonging to Ser."
"It sounds like it will take a long time." Cui Xi looked at the map: "We traveled from Neverwinter City to Eternal Wasteland for more than a month."
"Ha!" Baan laughed: "Neverwinter City is above the northeast of Faerun, and Sel is below the southwest of Faerun. We almost have to cross the entire continent of Faerun, which is dozens of times the distance!"
"Almost no caravan from the Sword Coast would go that far. It would take at least several years to go back and forth."
"It's too long." Tang Sen frowned slightly: "We don't have so much time to waste on the road."
"Smaug is very fast!" Cui Xi said excitedly: "With his speed, he might be able to fly there in a week."
Tang Sen glanced at her. Cui Xi still underestimated Smaug's speed. With the blessing of the Thunder Fruit, Smaug could cross the entire continent in one day.
Of course, this is without considering the presence of people. The body cannot withstand such speed, let alone other people, even the now reborn Tang Sen cannot do it.
Only elementalization that ignores all kinds of resistance can do this.
"No!" Barn's face turned pale: "There are other ways, such as taking a magic airship, which can save a lot of time."
"Then take the magic airship." Tang Sen nodded: "The people in the Dark Night Mask also took the magic airship to reach the Eternal Wasteland from the Dragon Coast within a month."
"That's right." Naomi nodded: "Silver Moon City should be able to find the flight to the magic airship heading to the Sea of Fallen Stars."
"Don't you need to go back to Neverwinter first?" Tang Sen smiled.
Naomi slowly shook her head and said nothing.
Tang Sen didn't force it. Compared to Silvermoon City, Neverwinter City was indeed much worse. Moreover, he had no reason to return to Neverwinter City for the time being.
In his perception, the priest of the Cyre Revival Society was no longer in Neverwinter, but had gone to the Fallen Star Sea area. Before entering Cyre, Tang Sen must have contact with the Cyre Revival Society to obtain some information about the Red Robe Wizard and Sazastan.
As for Neverwinter itself, Tang Sen expected that if he wanted to build a floating city in the future, he might be able to use this city as a foundation, which would be much simpler than building a city from scratch. Anyway, the heart of the city lord was still in his hands, which was just right for him.
But this was still a long way off.
"Then let's go directly to Silvermoon City."
Silvermoon City was just south of the Eternal Wasteland, separated by the Silvermoon Forest.
Smaug landed in the Silvermoon Forest. If he went further, he might touch the enchantment of Silvermoon City - this was a prosperous city second only to Waterdeep City, but unlike the chaos of Waterdeep City, Silvermoon City was very safe and peaceful.
There were a large number of magic academies here, as well as the Supreme Mage who presided over the entire Silvermoon Alliance.
A legendary mage.
Tang Sen didn't want to attract the other party's attention and cause trouble.
