Chapter 758: Dunno City
The crushed gravel scattered on the road had obviously been compacted, so although it was still not easy to walk on, the wooden wheels of the carriage made a creaking sound when rolling on it.
But it is ten times better than the muddy road we walked on in rainy weather some time ago.
The escort mission that Dali and his team had accepted would take fifteen days in total, but if they were just riding horses, five days would be enough. If they hurried, it could even be shortened to three days. That was because they all had the cheapest pack horses, otherwise they could have shortened it even further.
Most of the goods in this convoy are local specialties from the World of Warcraft Forest.
Mainly various animal skins, followed by some smoked and dried animal meat.
Because it was tightly wrapped with oilcloth, not many goods were affected during these days.
The carriage rolled along with a rattling sound, and the wall of a city appeared in front.
Perhaps because this world is full of magical power, a shorter city wall would be useless, so the city wall is more than fifteen meters high.
In an era without mechanization, this was a huge project.
After all, there are no players here who are willing to work hard without complaint, and most people with excellent physical strength may have entered the stage of spiritual practice and may not necessarily do such hard work, not to mention those precious professions such as spellcasters.
Therefore, apart from the key parts that may have been reinforced by spellcasters, or delivered by knights, most of the city wall was still built by ordinary people.
The city of Dunnor, the third largest city in the Principality of Keddon, is also an important city close to the eastern border of the Principality of Keddon. It also guards against the Monster Forest to the east and the Principality of Nott across the Dunnor River to the northeast.
However, since the Principality of Kerton and the Principality of Nott signed the agreement twenty years ago, there has been no territorial dispute, and the relationship between the two countries has become much closer in the past twenty years.
The minerals of the Principality of Kton and the grains of the Principality of Nott are naturally complementary, and the city of Donnot, once an important border city, has now become an important trade center.
There are even merchants from non-neighboring countries who bring their goods here to trade, and the city is much more prosperous than when it was an important border city.
The Grand Duke of Kerton's younger brother, Count Luke, is in charge. Count Luke is also one of the three great knights of the Principality of Kerton, and the youngest one.
People call him the 'Earl of Fire'...
"Oh, it's just a wrong name, not a wrong nickname. Earl Luke can be called the 'Earl of Fire' spontaneously, so he must have a glorious record ."
In the carriage, after Wang Yi listened to Shalltia's introduction to the general situation of the city of Dunno, he nodded thoughtfully and wrote down all the background.
I'll find a chance to publish it on the information site as background information that can be disclosed, and then find time to take a few photos of the 'Earl of Flame' and post them together.
I hope I can be more handsome and photogenic.
At the same time, looking at the city of Dunno, Wang Yi was also considering burying a simpler wizard tower in the city.
"It is indeed an amazing record. Five years ago, no one knows what happened in the Monster Forest. The Monster Lord Flamebird rushed out of the forest and headed straight for Dunno City. It was Earl Luke who turned the tide and fought a fierce battle with the Flamebird, and finally drove it away."
When Shatia said this, she still had a little fear on her face.
"It's a good thing that the Flamebird didn't target Danik Town, otherwise it would have been terrible. The Flamebird seemed to have set the sky on fire, and even the clouds turned red as it flew over the town. The sound of its cry when it flew over the town still scares me..."
After hearing Shatia's words, Wang Yi felt that they sounded a little familiar. Had he heard something similar somewhere before?
Then he remembered that when the World Tree's defense barrier was activated, although he only saw a charred bird corpse falling when he went there, it seemed similar to what Zabo described.
Probably, it's the same one...
According to Zabo's description, he was not sure if he could deal with it, so the strength of this bird should be quite good among the Warcraft lords. It was quite rare for a great knight of the physics department to be able to repel it.
It's a flying unit after all.
There is no need to say much about the physique of the Flamebird. According to Zabo, it should also have specialized in some fire spells. The spellcasting instinct recorded in its blood genes, combined with its own body and flying ability, its strength is indeed excellent among its peers.
Being able to force him back, this Count Luke, although young, should be considered as a top-notch knight in terms of strength. Perhaps, he has the potential to become a legendary knight.
Although there is a big gap between the legendary knight and the legendary wizard, it is still a legend after all. According to current understanding, every legendary knight can become the patron saint of an empire, which is rare in the Sephi world.
I'll take a look at it then. If it's really the case, I can also write it into the background of the data station.
As for whether the legendary talent that Count Luke had hidden for many years would be exposed, that was none of Wang Yi’s business.
Even if it is exposed, it must be done by players.
Moreover, it was obvious to anyone with a discerning eye that they were forced to repel the Flamebird.
It’s just that Shalltia’s status is not high enough and her strength is just so-so, so it’s impossible to draw more information from this news.
Even the reason why the Flamebird rushed straight to Dunnor City without even taking a second look at the small towns along the way might not be a coincidence.
Although the Warcraft Lord has some wisdom of his own, he is a beast after all, so it is not difficult to calculate and exploit him...
For example, stealing a bird's egg or a chick, or maybe it's guarding some magic potion or something.
Wang Yi, who has experience in other worlds, can easily find a bunch of solutions.
With the creaking sound of the carriages rolling, the convoy arrived at the gate of Dunno City.
As expected of a border trade city, the city gate is very wide, and the ground has changed from compacted gravel to blue brick road, which is quite flat.
“We’re finally here.”
Dali also came to Wang Yi's carriage window, looking relieved.
Although we didn't encounter any thieves or monster attacks on the road, it was very troublesome just to complete the escort mission.
After all, the convoy was slow and there was no way they could reach the next village or town, so they had to sleep outdoors most of the time during the past half month.
Wang Yi felt comfortable here. He could lie in the carriage and pet the cat.
It was so soft and fragrant that I felt so comfortable that I didn’t mind the extra time it took.
Poor Dali and his friends could only sleep leaning against the horses without even a change of clothes.
Even though he covered his mouth occasionally, the boss lady's seductive voice at night could still make Dali, a knight with his strength, feel very hot.
Damn, comparing yourself to others makes you die, it's so enviable... and disgusting!
What's so good about a bard who's a pretty boy with a foul mouth? Uh, it seems like he's been around for a long time.
After suddenly realizing that he was outdone in everything, Dali felt a deep sense of defeat.
Why can't any rich woman see through my inner stubbornness...
