Chapter 045: Warcraft Riot
Before they knew it, the team had been walking in the mountains for four days.
The rugged mountain road is 300 kilometers in a straight line, and it takes about five or six days to reach the Sounding Wind Pass in the "Alcolon Mountains", from where you can see the real "City of Light" in the distance .
On this day, there was a lot of fog in the mountains, and it was densely covered before evening.
The members of the "Mountain Antelope Hunting Group" all had rich experience in surviving in the wild. They selected a campsite and lit a bonfire. Then they removed the simple steel plates from the Steam Spider mountain bike and built a luxurious all-metal cabin for the Countess in the wild.
At night, the fat cook Susan prepared a sumptuous dinner.
As Canossa's personal doctor, Ryan is the only one who can enter the cabin besides the maid Sandra.
Uncle Sam and his men were eating barbecued dogs and rabbits from hunting by the campfire outside, while Ryan was dining with the Countess in the cabin.
The dinner was very rich, with beef, fragrant mushroom soup, pheasant and charcoal-grilled dog and rabbit with a meaty aroma, and of course, top-quality wine.
During this time, he had gradually gotten used to having dinner with this beautiful lady.
Although Ryan felt that the life of rich people was indeed luxurious, he sometimes felt that the Countess could be quite boring.
If I wasn't there, no one would even dare to talk to her along the way.
The hired hunting team members were not qualified to talk to her, and the apparently easy-going Uncle Sam and his companions became completely serious in front of her, like wooden figures.
…
"You should eat more. You're welcome. You've been practicing martial arts with Sam for a whole day. You should eat more to replenish your body..."
Canossa was in a good mood today. She looked at Ryan with a smile and occasionally helped him pick up a big piece of meat enthusiastically.
These days, with this little doctor accompanying me, the journey is finally not so boring.
"Thank you, ma'am."
Ryan didn't hesitate and stuffed big mouthfuls of the fragrant barbecue into his mouth.
It was indeed as she said, whether it was fusing magic potions or growing muscles, a large amount of calorie surplus was needed to avoid leaving hidden dangers to the body. And these energy-rich monster meats were the best source of nutrition.
I have to say, although Aunt Susan is a little ugly, her cooking skills are really amazing.
While eating, Ryan asked casually, "Mrs. Vanessa, I heard that the 'Glorious City' is very dangerous. Why do you want to go there in person?"
In the past few days, he had also learned enough information about the "City of Freedom" from the hired hunting team members.
That place is indeed a paradise for scavengers. I heard that the price of magic potions there is only one tenth of that in Omar.
Because that city is always at the forefront of land reclamation, all kinds of potion materials are very cheap, and all kinds of prices are very cheap. In addition, the city lord has also clearly stipulated that the Chamber of Commerce is not allowed to monopolize the profit of reselling potions. In that city, as long as you participate in the wasteland hunting mission issued by the city lord's mansion, almost everyone can advance to the extraordinary level!
Although it is very dangerous to open up wasteland, as long as the hunters can survive in the "City of Glory" for a few years and return to their hometown in the empire with their savings, they can live a wealthy life for the rest of their lives.
However, it is really dangerous there, and generally only desperate scavengers, wanted criminals, and speculators would go there.
He really couldn't understand why this pampered countess went to that place instead of staying in the big city to enjoy herself.
Even if there is something to deal with, there is no need to go there in person.
"Because I also have a small chamber of commerce under me..."
Even if Canossa smiled helplessly, she still made people feel charming.
She said casually, "Well, I originally had some business dealings with the 'Glorious City', but something went wrong recently, so I had to go and deal with it myself."
"oh."
Ryan raised his eyebrows noncommittally, and glanced at the label on the wine bottle beside the table. If he remembered correctly, in the past, in the "Weasel Phantom Thieves", this kind of top-grade Helmut was a luxury item among the robbed goods, and it would cost more than 100,000 liros per bottle on the black market. If they robbed a box, those drunken instructors would be happier than holding a box of coins.
Can the profits of an average small business be enough to cover the daily expenses of this great god?
The cost of her trip was probably enough to send someone here ten times.
However, Ryan did not intend to ask more questions. After all, he thought that if this lady could be friends with a big shot like Ymir, her identity might not be that simple.
The two of them chatted intermittently.
But while eating, Canossa glanced out the window, as if he noticed something, and a strange look flashed across his face.
…
The "Mountain Antelope Hunting Group" are very experienced guides, and the route they originally chose is also a safe route that they have walked many times.
But as the night deepened, the accident still happened.
Suddenly, the birds in the mountains were startled, and many strange noises were heard in the depths of the forest, sounding like many magical beasts were walking at night.
Soon, a loud warning sounded outside the house. Bart, the leader of the "Mountain Antelope Regiment", arranged hunters to stand guard around the camp. They noticed the movement in the forest and issued a warning.
"Captain, something bad may have happened!"
"What's wrong?"
"For some reason, the monsters on the east side of the Alcoron Mountains were alarmed. There were roars of high-level monsters in the distance! Moreover, I sensed that a group of monsters were surrounding us..."
" Everyone, prepare for battle!"
“…”
In the steel hut.
Ryan heard the conversation between the people outside the door and was shocked.
The road to the "Glorious City" passes through a large area of primitive jungle, which is not absolutely safe. In recent years, there have been reports of high-level monsters appearing and wiping out some unlucky hunting groups.
Now, they seem to be the "unlucky ones" in the legend.
When Ryan heard the news , his first reaction was that his "bad luck aura" had struck again, and his face twitched violently. He also felt a little guilty for causing trouble for others.
Legend has it that this is a deep mountain forest that is more dangerous than the "Baconya Highlands". He could only pray silently, hoping that no particularly troublesome monsters would appear.
Tap, tap, tap!
At this time, the old butler who always wore a tuxedo when walking on mountain roads knocked on the door, still with that zombie-like expression.
His tone was very calm as he reported, "Madam, the monsters in the mountains are rioting. Captain Bart has told us to stay where we are and they may evacuate at any time."
Canossa waved his hand, as if he didn't care: "Got it."
In this situation, Ryan felt that it was inappropriate for a grown man like him to hide in the house, so he stood up and said, "Madam, I will go out and see if I can help."
Canossa nodded, as if he had thought of something, and said, "Let's go, I'll go out and take a look too."
…
The situation is more serious than expected.
Not only were there magical beasts making rustling sounds in the dense forest, but even the insects hiding underground were fleeing out of the caves in groups.
It felt like a flash flood was coming and these little bugs sensed the danger in advance.
But... they are also very aggressive!
"Captain, something's wrong! Logically speaking, the western side of the Alcoron Mountains is the real dangerous area, and high-level monsters are concentrated there. But from the noise, it seems like there are so many more big beasts in the forest?"
"Yes, even if there was an earthquake, there would definitely not be snakes and insects running around. Could something have happened in the mountains?"
"Captain, there are gunshots about ten miles ahead of us! There are people fighting over there..."
"It seems that other hunting groups and the rioting monsters have also been in conflict. Everyone should be careful..."
“…”
The members of the "Mountain Antelope Hunting Group" all have rich hunting experience. They set up a large number of traps outside the camp, built a temporary fortress with salutes, and set up large-caliber guns and artillery.
Everyone prayed that the beast tide would not affect them, but unfortunately...
A pair of green eyes in the darkness finally discovered them!
