through the dark road

The sea water in the West Boundary Bay is extremely cold all year round, and the sea surface is almost always shrouded in cold fog during this season.

This also affected the climate on the west side of the Khanduras Mountains, making the icy plains and stone wilderness covered with frost before winter began.

The powerful ice mage Ned felt that there must be a huge ice spirit body under the western bay. He also said that as soon as he got close to it, he seemed to be able to feel the ice soul in his body beginning to move.

The nine-year compulsory university student originally wanted to explain the concept of ocean currents, but seeing Ned's serious appearance, he still chose to let him retain a trace of dignity.

Perona's fire spirit transformed into an eternal flame, which aroused strong longing in Ned's heart. Recently, when he had some free time, he read over and over the book about Thorgren and the Frozen Sea. Anyway, it was related to the cold. He was particularly interested in every word related to it.

Mo Bei was quite pleased with this. This was the right thing to do. How could a serious mage read poetry anthologies and romantic knight novels with nothing to do? .

A group of six people did not teleport directly to Westmarch. Instead, after returning to Luo Ge Camp, they jumped to Branwell, and then rode spiders all the way to understand the situation in the Western Border.

Several giant spiders had been left out for several months, but they were still a little resentful. They either didn't walk in a straight line or bumped a few times when running.

Mo Bei gave strict orders to Mao Xian, but he still didn't restrain himself, and he couldn't help but feel a little annoyed.

Just now, I was so full of food and drink, yet I am still so free and carefree. It is really a habit. .

He directly released an extraordinary level of coercion, which scared several giant spiders to the ground. Then he jumped off the woolen back and took out a six-wheel drive assault vehicle from the inventory.

For the sake of convenience, most of these military vehicles habitually leave the keys in the glove box or clip them on the sunshield, saving him the trouble of looking for them everywhere.

They all got on the bus and gave the following instructions to their mounts. The six giant spiders watched blankly as the strange thing roared away and flew into the dust, and then they hurriedly accelerated to follow.

"Are we just going to Westmarch like this?"

Ned's expression was a bit painful. To be honest, when the speed of this thing increased, it was much more uncomfortable than sitting in a tank. It jumped up and down when the terrain was slightly undulating.

Mo Bei held the steering wheel with one hand and glanced sideways at Ned:
"Why do I feel like you are questioning my driving skills..."

As soon as he finished speaking, there was a "boom" sound, and the assault vehicle rushed up a small slope covered by shallow grass at a speed of 110 miles per hour. The whole vehicle flipped in the air as if it had been kicked.

The six people in the car lost control of their expressions at the same time. Even Perona opened her eyes wide and hesitated whether to teleport away.

Mo Bei curled his lips with an embarrassed look on his face, and quickly mobilized the energy of heaven and earth to provide some support, causing the assault vehicle to flip twice in the air and then land on six wheels. It swayed left and right for a while before stabilizing its direction and continuing to gallop.

"Oh, why are you panicking..."

He pretended to smile relaxedly, but when he saw everyone in the car unbuckling the safety buckles so that they could jump out of the car in time before the next rollover, and all of them looked at him questioningly, he could only laugh dryly, holding up his hands. Hold the steering wheel and drive honestly.

The six spiders saw that the strange thing was still playing tricks, and they all felt the employment crisis. After learning that they were not irreplaceable, they changed their previous laxity and began to work hard.

The current speed of the car is no longer easy for the giant spiders to catch up, but they still follow closely on both sides, and even overtake the front, driving away and killing monsters encountered along the way.

From time to time, you can see the ruins of a village or town on the coastline. Some of them have been almost completely wiped out by time and wind and rain, leaving only the remaining walls covered by weeds.The sand on this beach is very fine. According to Ned, the people who lived here used to use this extra fine sand to make salt.

"Sand? How to make salt?" Mo Bei asked without looking back.

"They sprayed seawater on the beach over and over again, because the sand is very fine. After overnight, the surface sand and salt particles will form blocks. These sand and salt blocks are collected, washed and filtered with hot seawater, and finally Boil the filtered salt water into salt cubes.

Although it is more troublesome and cannot be obtained in large quantities through sunlight like Lu Gaoyin, this salt is of very good quality and is said to have a peculiar taste. I don’t know if it is true, but in the past this salt was indeed They were taken thousands of miles by caravans to be sold in Caldeum, and the supply exceeded demand. "

"Oh..." Mo Bei responded suddenly, feeling quite interesting.

In the past, I only heard that fish and shrimps in cold water waters are more delicious. Could it be that the salt boiled from the sea water here also tastes better?

It has to be said that although this western border area feels cold and cold in certain seasons, it has distinct dry and wet seasons, and it is also a fertile land. Whether it is fishing, hunting or farming, life here is not too bad.

At night, Mo Bei turned off the engine, put the assault vehicle that had been driving for several hours into the inventory, and then set up a bonfire on the beach, intending to rest there for a while.

Several giant spiders came close to their masters, rubbed them with their non-spiked body parts, and after a while of trying to please them, they spontaneously went into the nearby woods to hunt.

Mo Bei used a barbecue fork to pierce some sausages and marinated meat, distributed them, and asked:
"How much territory did Lakis rule at that time?"

This question is still answered by Ned:
"Rakis was almost invincible before he encountered the northern barbarians. Basically, the west of the Khanduras Mountains was conquered by him, or attached to the Holy See of Zakarum. He built the East Gate in the Taymor Highlands The fortress was guarded by the Blind Sisters, but after Leoric's rule, the fortress no longer existed.

There is also the garrison fortress in the north. Ernstinger was once also affiliated with the Westmarch regime.In this way, Lakis was equivalent to establishing a barrier along the Khanduras Mountains, which caused opposition within the Holy See, but Emperor Tassala did not express his position.Later, Leoric stationed in Khanduras, not only because of Mephisto's conspiracy, but also for the Holy See, it was to prevent the Westmarch regime from becoming dominant in the Western Continent. "

"So, it is indeed possible that Lakis has broken with the Holy See?" Mo Bei asked.

"I think it is very possible. Although the literature says that Emperor Tasala has always supported Lakis's expedition, after Lakis truly unified the Western Continent, how could Tasala, as a generation of heroes, have no ideas, and add When Lakis established the East Gate Fortress, perhaps Tassala had tacitly approved or secretly supported the Holy See's infiltration of Khanduras at that time. It was just that Lakis failed to realize it while he was still alive. As long as he showed his intention, it was enough to become a It’s a reason to go against the purpose.”

Ned looked at Mo Bei and Akali, and said with a hint of teasing:
"Shouldn't you Paladins know more about the history of Zakarum?"

Mo Bei was stunned and said:
"I understand. It completely died out in 1475."

The words made Ned's mouth twitch.

It’s the personal account of the maker of history, right?

At this time, Mo Bei turned his head slightly and looked towards the darkness in the distance.

The remaining people later heard the extremely slight sound of their feet stepping on the beach, but they did not move.

Walking with an extraordinary and powerful person is not a dangerous area, so several people felt in their hearts that this sense of security was too strong. . (End of chapter)
