Alien world

Chapter 232 85. Journey

"Cheer up, you sea dog!"

The rude second officer cheered Francois up in sailor fashion.

Holding the round table and sitting by the window, the vast sea made Francois feel better, until a figure stepped into the captain's cabin.

"Ouch - get away from me, fast... damn fishy vomit..."

Francois, who smelled fish, felt sick again.

"I just wanted to tell you I caught another big fish."

Fast regretted that the fish caught on the boat were getting bigger and bigger, but he couldn't find anyone to share.

"I feel dizzy when I see fish now, and so do people..." Francois said weakly.

"I'm leaving now!" The second mate followed Fast out of the captain's cabin.

Standing on the stairs, the second officer said: "The captain is seasick, and many sailors can't stand it anymore. Shall we go ashore for a rest?"

"Not yet."

Fast held the gills and said that they had just passed Glacier Harbor not far away, and who knew what was hidden in the forest.

"You are the first mate, you have the final say."

The big fish that Fast was carrying struggled a bit, its cold tail slapped the second officer's face, and it was slapped so that it turned half a circle and shivered.

……

"It's fucking snowy, it's so fucking cold..." Kerian complained about the horrible weather with a slang slang, "I feel like I'm back to the fucking winter again."

"Stop complaining about the cold." Losey and Kerian sat side by side on the cart.

The cold-resistant Wanma dragged the wagon through the snow.

They naively thought that the snow was left over from winter, and then in the evening, snowflakes fell from the sky.

The guide of the newspaper team was a veteran with a broken arm who retired from the fortress. He laughed a few times and said that the snow at the foot of the snow mountain would only melt in August, the warmest month, but this year it would be earlier because the snow tide destroyed the forest.

The closer they got to the snow-capped mountains, the lower the temperature. During this period, they also encountered druids who turned into flocks of birds.They canceled their polymorph and landed in front of the convoy.

The procession stopped, and the guards stood on the alert.They are not hostile to the druids, but no one can tell whether the druids, who have been red-eyed with the frost giants in the past two months, will regard them as enemies.

"We are a team delivering supplies to the Snow Mountain Fortress." The team leader said to them proactively.

The leading Druid, who was covered in leaves and had purple skin, looked at Luo Xi and Kerian, their clothes were out of tune with the people around them.

"The two of them are from Xingyue Bay."

"Xingyue Bay?" An ethereal whisper sounded.

Losey tried to pull the frozen corner of his mouth: "I am Losey, he is Kerian, we are going to the fortress to interview..."

"King in the North, magic newspaper... did you know?"

"Uh...that's our lord, the magic newspaper was invented by the lord..." Losey guessed that the leaders of these druids had read the magic newspaper?

"...I hope you are different from other humans."

The purple druid turned into a warbler and left with his companions.

The team continued on their way. During this period, Losey sent the Philosopher's Stone that recorded the first week back to Xingyue Bay, and met a druid. Finally, on the No. 11 day of departure, they came to the foot of the snow mountain.

Losey and Kerian were deeply shocked. They had never realized that the distant snow-capped mountains were so majestic. When they looked up, they seemed to rise high like a huge wall at the edge of the world, drilling into the depths of the invisible clouds.

I am afraid that only such a terrain can block the demon tide for hundreds of years...

A small town stands at the foot of the snow-capped mountains.The garrison on the city wall noticed the strange faces mixed in the team, and pouted at them: "Who are they?"

Losey and Kerian are once again in the spotlight.

The leader said they were the kings of the North and wanted to tell the public the real situation of the fortress.

"It's great, there is another nosy nobleman like Olmedo." The scarred man who said good things didn't have a good face, and opened the city gate to let them in.

Losey thought too much, this place was at best a camp at the foot of the mountain, with felt tents, wooden huts and frozen excrement standing casually inside the city walls.

The two of them and the guide were arranged in a yurt. After a day's rest, Losey found that the team hadn't moved on, so he couldn't help but ask, "When shall we start?"

"Don't you think we're going to 'climb' up it?"

"Isn't it?"

The guide only asked them to wait, but on the third day after arriving at the camp, the distant and desolate sound of the horn suddenly sounded in the camp.

Thinking that something happened, Luo Xi and Kerian rushed out of the yurt, and saw the leader looking at the snow-capped mountains.They didn't know what they were looking at, so they just followed.

The snow that hung on the rock walls rustled, and the echoing sound of the horn pierced into the cloud-shrouded depths.After an unknown amount of time, the clouds and mist were stirred, and a group of giant beasts with the face of a lion and the body of a bird emerged.

Kerian looked up at this scene in shock while holding the activated Philosopher's Stone, while Losey hurriedly recorded the scene in front of him.

……

[On May 5th, a few unlucky people couldn't hold on any longer. I sent them back to Xingyue Bay, but don't think that the ordeal is over, you have to come back and continue to suffer after you recover! 】

[On May 5th, haha ​​they came back, watching the smiles on their faces disappear, the smiles on my face came back.I have to say... It's not that easy to be a crew member. I still feel fresh for the first few hours of the voyage, and then I can't stop vomiting... After I go back, I have to think about who I like to be the captain-I don't think so. Sturt is very good, there is actually someone who can fish for fourteen days without getting tired... How did he do it? 】

[On May 5, I passed a village just now, which was consistent with the description on the map, and it was less than a week away from the Yongye Port. 】

[Or on the 16th, in the evening, I saw a merchant ship, they seem to come from other continents?In any case, we are not far from the first seaport of our trip.At that time, we may take a break, sell, buy, return or continue to set off depending on the situation.By the way, that ship is really fast... The three-masted ship is twice as fast as ours... But our broken ship is probably going to fall apart so fast...]

François closed the logbook and looked out the window—the three-masted sailing ship whose buttocks could still be seen just now had merged into the stars, night sky and dark sea.

The next morning, a white and yellowed port town appeared on the coastline, surrounded by many shuttle-shaped sailboats with strange flags.

They are close to this bustling port.The three-masted sailboat I saw last night was docked by the trestle, and some figures were unloading cargo on the deck.

The arrival of the Primer attracted attention. The sailors, shirtless or wearing turbans, held buckets and mops, stood on the deck, and looked at the uninvited ship with strange expressions.

"Uh...why do I feel a little wrong?" François looked at the second officer in doubt, is it like this for normal sailors?Then I saw the second officer trembling holding the mast.

"Quick... run away... this is a pirate port!"
