Surviving the Fourth Calamity

Chapter 585 The First Wave of Guests Welcomed by the Undead Swamp

This is a convoy departing from Neverwinter City to Waterdeep City.

Winter is coming soon, and they need to sell some handicrafts from Neverwinter and the wine and furs they bought from Luskan, in exchange for winter food and some magic materials.

Generally, caravans like theirs are motley crews gathered by small chambers of commerce, and they simply cannot afford to rent a large ship that can bypass the Undead Swamp in Neverwinter.

Although the straight-line distance is not very far, the small boat is not capable of passing through the sea of ​​undead.

The team leader elected because of his strongest strength, level 10 fighter Saha let out a sigh of relief, the most troublesome place is coming.

They must seize the time to pass through the Undead Swamp before dusk.

This section of the road is actually the most embarrassing. If you want to reach the entrance when the sun rises in the early morning, you have to walk day and night non-stop on this section of the road.

Although after coming out of Neverwinter, they could only sleep in the wilderness when resting, but rushing without rest at all, even if the caravan was full of healthy adults or even professionals, they felt that the physical exertion was too great.

And they have to walk for another day without stopping, no wonder the prices of things are much higher in Neverwinter.

Sara sighed, the location here is actually really good, and the harm of undead and wild beasts to people is actually not that great.

But the cold wind is the most terrifying. Many people go back and forth, and they have to lie down for seven or eight days when they go back.

Sarah glanced at the copper pocket watch in her hand, and felt that there was enough time, so she let the already tired team rest for an hour.

He kept telling those who collapsed on the ground to get more sun.

"Sarah!" A small team leader who went out to explore the road suddenly shouted, "Come and see! The Undead Swamp is inhabited!"

Saha, who was smoking a pipe, was so frightened that he almost dropped his beloved seawood inlaid silver pipe. He hurriedly caught the baby that almost fell from his mouth, and looked up at his deputy angrily: "Someone? Are you Didn't you enter the gray fog? Hurry up and bask in the sun, Willie!"

"I'm far away from the swamp! I can't be mistaken, it must be an archmage! His house is floating in mid-air!" The brown-haired ranger with two mustaches replied unhappily, "Don't you know if you take a look yourself? Saha."

Saha calmly tapped his pipe, and looked up hesitantly. This is a corner, which just blocked the wind blowing from the undead swamp. He only saw tall mountains when he looked up.

Saha and Willy have worked together for many years, knowing that he would not cause trouble at such a time, he decided to call a few people with relatively high professional levels in the team to go over and have a look.

After walking about 500 meters, they turned a corner and went around the mountains. Everyone saw the white palace floating among the clouds.

There is also the tumbling white mist, extending from the ground to the clouds, it is almost another world.

But that mist is not like the gray mist before. Seeing it makes people feel horrible and desperate, and they just want to escape.

And there was no trace of white fog on the road.

There are still 3 kilometers between the undead swamp and where they are. This is also a safe distance that the caravan has measured over the years to rest assured.

"The white palace, shouldn't it be a necromancer?" someone murmured.

"No!" Saha suddenly cheered up, "I thought they were joking, but it turned out to be true!"

He looked at a few companions who were staring at him, and smiled triumphantly: "Didn't I supply the Moonstone mask? When I sent them flowers last time, I heard some nobles and archmages talking about this." thing.

A great mage of the natural department bought the land of the Undead Swamp, and bought two pieces together, and obtained the authority of the lord.

They also said that after a few years, a magic tower that can help purify the earth may be built here, natural mage!It is very normal to choose this kind of place to save nature.

I didn't expect it to come so soon!
"How strong is this archmage of the natural department? Why are these two pieces of land worth tens of thousands? Is he so rich?" Willie asked suddenly.

Saha turned his head and took a look. He had always suspected that there was something wrong with his identity. He was probably a ranger who also worked as a thief. He said seriously: "He dares to publicly scold the Goddess of Wealth, and none of the thieves in Silvermoon City dare to provoke him!
Those thieves even killed the favored person of the goddess of wealth, but they didn't even dare to fart in front of him.

It is said that his mansion in Silvermoon City contains countless good things, but no thief has ever pryed into it.

It's no secret that Silvermoon City has Mask's followers.

Some time ago, I also heard that Cyric's people did their hands when they murdered Vol'jin's favored ones.

It was such a mess, this natural mage was not disturbed by anyone during his days in Silvermoon City. It is said that he is a half-elf, and there is a powerful force behind him, no one dares to mess with him. "

He looked around at the unbelievable faces, and said very solemnly: "I didn't believe what they said before because it was too unbelievable.

However, the floating castle has already appeared before our eyes.

Let alone other things, this person is the top existence in terms of financial resources and strength, no matter who it is, don't cause any trouble, no matter how small!

The ugly words are up front, if someone really does something, I will definitely give up this ally. "

Willy glanced at Saha, who was watching him in warning, and showed an embarrassed smile: "Natural mages, they are the nemesis of shadow walkers. Unless they read the madman's book like Mask, no thieves will provoke them." of."

Saha didn't understand what Willy meant by restraint, but at least this guy promised not to cause trouble.

He turned his head to greet the team members who had rested, and set off quickly.

The section into the Undead Swamp was still gloomy and cold, but after walking 2 kilometers, the temperature in the air suddenly returned to normal.

However, everyone has already ignored the thick white fog rolling on both sides of the road, but stared straight at the white temple.

Although it was impossible to tell what kind of gemstone the water-blue light shining on the white marble came from, everyone could tell how expensive this thing must be.

And this kind of gemstone that will be collected in the treasure house of the great nobles is just inlaid on a roadside temple.

Even though the temple looks sacred and elegant, the merchants focus on the more valuable gems.

"Whose temple is this?" Willy's murmur woke everyone up. Although everyone could feel that the temple belonged to the good camp, no one knew it.

"Go! Go and have a look." Saha said directly, "Neighbors of natural mages will not have any major problems. Don't you just have to believe in it! Don't most of the people here believe in everyone!"

Even if there is a declared main god, it does not prevent them from worshiping other gods.

Hill stood in his study, watching the caravan man with Aglaia, and after watching for a while near the temple, he quickly discovered the pure pool of clear water.

They rushed into the temple almost without hesitation, and after paying homage to the goddess holding the water purification bottle, they took out the bottle and began to pour water.

Aglaia paid attention to the movement below.

At this time, it is not suitable for her to stay in the temple, otherwise the light of prayer will fly around the statue and fly to her.

Aglea wanted to see if his restrictions were working.

Sure enough, someone fetched a bottle of water and was not satisfied, so he took out the bucket directly. There was even a guy with a mustache who wanted to climb directly under the statue on the platform to catch the purest holy water flowing down.

These people were thrown out of the temple directly.

Hill could already hear their leader yelling.

However, someone has already discovered the hotel, and they are already discussing whether to stay or not.

In fact, there is no problem in traveling overnight now, and Hill has no intention of attracting guests.

But these guys with tired faces quickly decided to move in.

Even though they were entertained by some stiff puppets, they didn't feel alarmed.

Hill felt that these people probably knew that this territory belonged to an archmage.

"Papa Hill!" Aglaia asked thoughtfully, "Are they acting so exaggerated to test my bottom line? I want to see if I will tolerate their behavior in order to gain faith .”

"That's right." Hill praised, "Aglaia is very considerate. But they feel that you are a novice who has just opened the temple, and you may not be so thoughtful. So I want to try to see if I can get it directly. More benefits.

Especially pure holy water, a bottle of 500 gold, if you really find out that there is something for them to take advantage of, those people will definitely dig three feet. "

Aglaia nodded, and then said quietly: "With the undead in front, any god in Trasil knows what it means to be cautious.

Otherwise, the temple could be demolished. "

Hill turned his head to look at Aglaia with an indifferent face. When he was working hard at the Earth Bear, it seemed that Aglaia had suffered a lot!
The temple is really thoughtful, even using a fountain to separate the place where the beasts drink water from the area where human activities are.

Liszt appeared behind them: "Martha said that the tavern has started to have guests, and those people don't like the music played by the puppet very much. The wine they buy is also the cheapest ale.

Taylor was a little bored and was chatting with the team leader. "

"With such an immature face, what would others talk to him about?" Aglaia sneered.

"Martha thinks that the team leader suspects that Terry is the child of the owner of this place, and he is asking his parents what he said." Liszt smiled.

Aglaia's face quickly elongated: "Damn it! What kind of wine does the kid drink! His father is not sensible at all."

Hill couldn't help touching her hair: "Terry will reveal his secrets soon, and not many people think he has anything to do with me."

Anyway, dragons can do everything, and it's normal for someone like Terry, after all, there are tailors and flower sellers!

People in Neverwinter and Waterdeep should be used to it.

Especially this year.
