Chapter 447 Passing by Eight Peaks

Flint scratched his head: "I always thought that elves can hear the sound of the wind is a metaphor..."

Wang: "No, this is unreasonable. It should be some kind of long-distance communication magic, but the magic failed and it could only make her sense. Nini, do you remember anyone who would send you such a communication?"

Nini shook her head: "There is no such person...at least not in my memory. My family and friends are all ordinary elves, and I don't know why they are generally not good at magic."

Xiaobai: "Looking at your understanding of magic, I also feel this."

Elizabeth pushed Xiaobai's shoulder to tell her not to be so blunt. At the same time, she said, "Could it be that Nini's friend forced the spell to be cast, so it failed?"

Wang: "It is also possible that someone in the Elf Kingdom knows that she is here and wants to inform us. The biggest technical difficulty in this kind of long-distance information transmission spell is how to locate the target. A common method is to use long-term personal belongings.

"Nini must have such an item at home."

Xiaobai: "For example, the tableware she uses to eat!"

Wang: "Or a chair you often sit on or a pillow you often sleep on."

Nini: "So the Elf Kingdom is in danger, right?"

"That's why we set off." Wang raised his head and looked at the airship. "Hurry up and leave. The Elf Kingdom is so big that it won't be completely wiped out in one go. We will definitely have time."

At this time, the monk from the monastery reminded: "You also promised the abbot to check on the situation of the caravan."

Wang: "Yes, I agree. Captain!"

Dwarf Torrey Smith immediately replied: "You said it."

King: "Gather the dwarfs fishing and hunting on the ground immediately, and let's set off."

Torre raised his hand and tapped his temple.

It seems that this is a gesture used by people who work on airships, which means "execute immediately after receiving it."

Then Torre shouted loudly, calling on his men to evacuate the camps set up on the ground and the carcasses of various prey that were still being processed in the camps. Although the airship was full of supplies, there would definitely be various problems in opening an unknown route through the mountains. Surprisingly, the more supplies, the better.

Wang walked directly to the lifting basket: "Let's get on the boat first. Monks, please come with me."

The leader of the monks clasped his hands: "No, if it's just this high, we can go up ourselves."

After saying that, he turned around and jumped onto the towering fir tree. He climbed to the top of the tree in just ten seconds, jumped to grab the rope at the bottom of the airship, and then climbed onto the airship along the rope.

The king was dumbfounded: "I only knew that monks could run fast, but I didn't know that they had such ability." (Actually, it was a huge success in judging acrobatics)

Nini didn't seem to want to lose to the human monks in flying over the walls, so she jumped onto the branches of the cedar tree with her long legs, then performed a round-trip jump between the branches, and finally grabbed the rope of the airship pod. , and then swung into the pod.

After watching the elf's performance, Flint shook his head: "Long legs are only of little use at times like this."

Dwarf Gaines nodded: "That's right."

Then he turned to Xiaobai: "Let's get on the hanging basket together."

Xiaobai: "Why do you two take me with you? My legs are much longer than yours!"

Flint: "No matter how much longer your legs are than ours, the tops of our heads can't reach the elf's hip shaft."

Wang got on the hanging basket directly: "Okay, I will ride on the hanging basket with you, so don't argue about this."

Elizabeth also entered the hanging basket: "And me."

Xiaobai immediately followed the hanging basket, as if he had not had any dispute with the dwarfs just now.

After the rescue team boarded the airship, Captain Torrey Smith spent more than ten minutes completely gathering the crew members who were spread out on the ground.

The last dwarf crewman pulled out the anchor hanging from the roots of the tree, stepped on the anchor, and was winched aboard by his companions.

Then the airship once again set out on its path across the world's mountains.

Nini has been standing on the bow of the boat, looking in the direction of her hometown.

Although she looked worried, she still completed the task of guiding the spacecraft very well. Early the next morning, Wang had just finished preparing the spell when he heard Flint shouting from the deck of the spaceship: "It's the Eight Peaks! Come out and see, that's the former center of the Mountain Kingdom!"

Driven by curiosity, Wang walked out of the room and looked into the distance.

At this time, in the direction of his sight, the World Mountains were like a high wall, directly blocking the way of the airship, so that the airship could only fly along the wall.

The eight peaks are like towers on this high wall, overlooking the people on the airship.

There is still a "beacon fire" burning on the tower - actually a flag cloud crossing the mountain peak.

Elizabeth also opened the door and came out. When she saw this scene, she exclaimed: "Oh my God, this is so spectacular!"

Flint looked proud: "Back then, this was a wonder that the Kingdom of Mountains was proud of. Now the capital of the Kingdom of Mountains seems to be deliberately replicating this scene. Unfortunately, there are not enough mountains, and they are not as spectacular as here."

Xiaobai: "It sounds like you often see the scenery of the capital of the Mountain Kingdom, but in fact you haven't seen it a few times."

Flint: "I lived in the Mountain Kingdom for a while when I traveled with Tanis and the others!"

King: "Tannis is a half-elf, right? As far as I know, dwarves hate half-elves even more than elves."

"No, no," Flint shook his head, "Those are dwarves in a closed place. Because of the existence of Shield Road in the Mountain Kingdom, people of various races come and go in the territory. Everyone has long been accustomed to other races, and even interacts with them. Other races are doing business.”

Elizabeth: "Are you saying that dwarves have changed their prejudices against other races? But the world knowledge I learned says that dwarves are stubborn and hate change..."

Flint spread his hands: "Isn't your so-called general knowledge of the world also a collection of prejudices of you humans? This kind of thing needs to be analyzed in detail."

Wang echoed: "The dwarves can even have Kailin's priests. From this, it seems that this race is not as rigid as the rumors say."

Elizabeth: "That makes sense."

Dwarf: "You are right. In short, the Kingdom of Mountains is quite tolerant to outsiders now, at least it was that way when I temporarily lived in the capital of the kingdom a hundred years ago.

"The capital of the kingdom is also the most important node on the Shield Road. From here, there are nearly two hundred kilometers of roads all underground. Almost all caravans will stop in the capital of the kingdom, either to prepare mentally for entering the underground, or to celebrate finally Leaving the dangerous underground."

Elizabeth was shocked: "Isn't the Shield Road a relatively safe trade route?"

Flint: "You can say 'relatively' too."

Marika explained thoughtfully: "Your Highness, the underground trade route on Shield Road almost passes through the Underdark. Creatures from deep underground often rob caravans on Shield Road."

Flint: "The reason why Shield Road is safer than the Underdark is mainly because there are dwarf legions stationed on the road, and the legion's patrols will also patrol the road."

Marika snorted: "If your patrols were effective, you wouldn't have lost your capital."

Flint fell silent for a moment.

At this time, Xiaobai rubbed his eyes and came out of his cabin. When he saw Bafeng, he was obviously stunned for a moment and exclaimed: "Oh!"

Wang: "Isn't it spectacular?"

Xiaobai: "Yeah. Is there the old capital of the Dwarf Kingdom down there? Why don't we go exploring?"

Wang: "First, we are in a hurry now. Second, the Eight Peaks are just legends."

Flint: "No, there really is a city of our ancestors at the foot of the eight peaks, and it has probably become the habitat of all kinds of monsters and monsters now.

"There is still a problem if we want to go on an expedition. No one knows where the entrance and exit to the ground of the Eight Peaks is. The records of the Dwarf Kingdom only have records of the road entering the Eight Peaks from the underground, but that road is no longer accessible. Even if the Mountain Kingdom is mobilized Even the main army cannot get through."

Just as Wang was about to speak, Nini suddenly ran from the direction of the bow: "Here we go again! This time it feels more obvious, the forest kingdom is in danger!"

　In fact, there is a copy of Bafeng, and I also wrote a copy of the adventure a few days ago, but after looking at it, I found that it overlapped with the previous chapter of the Underdark, so I cut it off.
