Chapter 361 St. Osol Town

St. Osol Town is a border town of the Suril Federation among the seven countries south of Pavadiga, a closed place on the top of the mountains.

Rather than a small town, it is actually closer to a larger village. The town is small, with only 67 households and a population of less than [-]. It has little information and little contact with the outside world, but it is very famous throughout the seven southern countries.

Because this place is called a town floating in the sky.

The real town covers an area of ​​less than two square kilometers, but covers an area of ​​more than fifty square kilometers, because the town is divided into 11 yuan by dense mountains. Each part is located on the top of the mountain and is connected to each other by cableways. Residents travel daily. Work is all carried through the cableway, making the town really feel like it is floating in the air.

Outside the town, a winding mountain road went up and down intermittently, eventually leading to the world outside the mountain. Shuer and two ladies were standing on the path, looking at the outline of Sheng Ao not far away. Sol town.

A month ago, several students followed Saff, and together with the team from the Dark Moon Temple, they arrived at the temples under the escort of Dak. However, this was not the end of the mission. The people from the Dark Moon Temple teleported back through the main hall. , Saff, Moria and Shuur separated from the team in the Temple of the Gods, preparing to meet with the Archbishop of the Sky Temple. Dak was the most pitiful, and had to lead the team to escort Saff's students all the way to the Rose Capital, which cost thousands. kilometers of trek.

However, Xiuer and the others were not worried at all, since they were not the ones trekking anyway, so there was nothing to worry about.According to Xiu Er, with Dak as the guard, he is not worried about the safety of those students at all, and he has enough time to negotiate with the Sky Temple slowly.

However, just over 20 days later, he and the two ladies appeared in the town of St. Osol, which is more than [-] kilometers away from the Pantheon. Sure enough, he had plenty of time.

"Hello~~~~~"

"Hello~~~~~~"

"I'm back again~~~~~"

"You should leave quickly~~~~"

Xiuer was full of childlike innocence for a moment and shouted a few words to the valley, then turned his head expressionlessly to look at the deer next to him that was confronting him, and knocked her on the head.

"Eh? Why are you knocking me on the head? It's obviously an echo." Moria covered her head and pretended to have tears in her eyes. However, within a few seconds, she lost interest in pretending and said with a silly smile, "Okay. , I admit, it’s not quite like an echo, but I did express Serena’s thoughts.”

"Tsk tsk, I'm afraid Serena really doesn't want to see us." Mentioning this name, Xiu Er showed a very subtle smile, "I don't know if her eating has improved a bit, huh, suddenly I miss her a little bit, I hope she hasn’t been discovered by the townspeople in recent years,”

"Eh? You are really only interested in animals. Do you want to be like Dak and let her stay in an alien form with you... huh huh huh?"

Covering Moria's mouth to block her malicious slander, he glared at Saff who was snickering and nodding vigorously. Ever since this guy left the Lion City, he had only been in front of him and Moria for a day. Being more active every day is like breaking free from the shackles.No, it wasn’t just in front of him. When he passed a small town a few days ago, Shuer actually saw Saff actively talking to the vendors on the roadside. Although it was just the simplest inquiry about the price, it was hard to imagine before. Look. Come on, my efforts have slowly produced results, which is gratifying.

"Hey~~~" Shuer's way of expressing joy is always so strange. He shouted loudly to the mountains again, and then...a huge fireball dragged a long tail flame toward the edge of the town nearly a kilometer away. Shuer smashed over.Fortunately, the distance was far enough, and the fireball only flew more than half way before losing its structural stability and dissipating into a ball of pure fire elements.

"Well, it seems that Mia has arrived." He coughed a few times awkwardly. In order to avoid the arrival of more powerful magic, Shuer restrained his bad taste and said with a serious face, "It's dangerous to make your teammates wait too long. This is not the behavior that a qualified captain should do, so don’t waste time and go over to meet up as soon as possible." The straight-line distance is not far, but it is not that easy to enter the town. You need to go all the way down and pass through the jungle-covered valley. Climb upward to reach the entrance of the town. By the time Shuer and the others appeared at the entrance of the town, it was already an hour and a half later.The distance in a straight line is less than 1000 meters but it took so long. You can imagine how difficult the journey was. This is because they have high-level strength. Otherwise, it would have taken several times longer. No wonder there is little contact with the outside world in the town. , if ordinary people want to leave the town once, they will almost die.

In the middle of the town, the temple of Osor, the God of Echoes, occupies the highest mountain. Osor is only one of the gods of the Lord of the Mountains. Most of the temples and worship halls are built on the peaks and valleys. They are not well-known, but due to Due to the terrain, the temple looks particularly majestic.

Well, at least it's much better than a ruined temple.

Except for the temple, which is a complex of buildings, the rest are independent houses. There are almost no purely commercial buildings in the town. There is nothing except a tavern and a trading house that is unattended most of the time. There are few For thousands of years, the lives of the townspeople have been based on hunting and gathering in the mountains. They are basically self-sufficient, and their transactions with each other are barter. It was not until more than 200 years ago that the lord of the town under the city finally remembered that there were still people under his jurisdiction. With such a piece of land, people were sent to establish a trading house here, which could be regarded as introducing currency to the closed town. However, even so, the townspeople only went to the tavern or ordered external goods from the trading house. Currency was used only when people lived, and barter was still used in daily life according to the ancient habit.

Stepping on the pontoon, their feet were suspended in the air. When the mountain wind blew, the ropeway swayed, making the three of them feel as if they were floating in the air. Below was a cliff of ten thousand meters. They could not reach the ground in front and back. They were helpless in mid-air. It was so timid. A small person would probably be paralyzed with fear just by standing on it, let alone taking a step.

Of course the three of Xiuer were quite courageous, but they were still cautious when walking on the cableway, their muscles tensed subconsciously, and their hands tightly held the protective rope on the edge of the pontoon, lest they would be blown off by the mountain wind.

On other floating bridges in the town in the distance, you can occasionally see townspeople walking back and forth. The footsteps of these locals are as steady as walking on flat ground. Some young ones even run and jump, as if they don't know the danger at all.In comparison, it is no longer clear who is the warrior.

In fact, Shuer and the others also knew that the pontoon bridge was actually very safe. The material was made of the dragon vine growing in the valley. It was originally very tough, but it was made stronger after using a special method. Not only could it not rot for hundreds of years, but it was also not afraid of flames.

In addition, every autumn when materials are abundant, the townspeople will systematically inspect all pontoon bridges to eliminate all hidden dangers. It can be said that the pontoon bridges woven from them are even more reliable than bridges made of steel, at least for thousands of years. The town has never had a floating bridge accident.

The problem is that it is one thing to know the theory, but it is another thing to actually walk up. It is wobbly and erratic, and it is hundreds of meters away. I am afraid that a normal person will be scared to cry. It can be like three people. If you can still stand upright and walk like this, you are already a rare brave man.

"Hey, foreigners, you're awesome." He crossed a pontoon bridge in fear. It wasn't until a strange voice sounded in his ears that Xiuer was shocked to realize that there were outsiders beside him. Following the sound, he looked over and saw several middle-aged hunters coming from another place together. They walked up the pontoon bridge to the transit mountain peak. One of the men, who seemed to be the leader, gave them a thumbs up and said in Common Mandarin with a strong accent, "I remember you. You came here once three years ago, haha. No wonder you guys So brave, I haven't seen many outsiders who dare to walk in on their own."

"Tsk, if I remember correctly, Mr. Douglas, right, the best hunter in the town." Shuer calmed down, then forced a smile and joked, "Even if you praise me like this, I'm not happy at all. Don’t get up, because you haven’t seen a few outsiders who dare to walk in by yourself, you haven’t seen a few outsiders at all.”

"Hahaha, you have wronged me. I have seen quite a few strangers in the past few days, but they are not as brave as you. There was a dwarf yesterday who didn't dare to leave until halfway through, and finally crawled in. But the little guy who came with him is really good, and he can cross the bridge more easily than us locals."

"Oh, Moback and Makajlen are here too. Of course that little man is very powerful. Not to mention a pontoon bridge, even if there is only a rope between two peaks, he can also perform for you on the rope. Foot dance." Shuer and the two ladies looked at each other and seemed to just ask casually, "Selena's tavern is still open, right? We probably have to stay here for two days."

"Of course it's open. Even if she doesn't want to open it, we won't agree to it. Without her wine, we don't even know how to survive, hahahahaha." The male hunter burst into laughter, "But you have to hurry up, now It’s dinner time, and tonight’s menu is the most popular braised wild boar meat and green vine fruit stewed flower-tail chicken. We’re so late that there’s not even any soup left, so you’ll have to go hungry, hahaha, we’re full anyway. , you can all be in a good mood tonight.”

"Then we can't miss it." Xiuer made an impatient look, which caused several hunters to laugh again. Life in the deep mountains is so simple, a delicious dinner, a few good-natured jokes, can make people feel happy. These people are happy for a long time.

Following the pontoon where the hunters came, they once again experienced a test of life and death. The only commercial building operated by people in St. Osor Town appeared in front of them. When they pushed the door and entered, the aroma of food hit their faces. Accompanied by the mouth-watering aroma, a wild female voice echoed through the tavern: "Everyone line up in order for me. If anyone dares to jump in the queue and make trouble, I won't give him a chicken feather."
