Path of Light.

Chapter 215 216. Blue Ice Deer

On the morning of the third day, the guide Margery was waiting at the gate of the Adventurer's Guild.

Instructor Nora brought the members of the adventure group to meet Margery and introduced to everyone: "This is our guide, his name is Margery..."

Instructor Nora introduced the members of the adventure group to Margery, and only said their names once.

Margery was able to call everyone's name accurately. He looked at the sky and said to Instructor Nora:
"If we are going to set off now, we can still catch up with those caravans in time. We might as well try our luck. If there are caravans going to the Griffon Barrier together, we can go with the caravans, which can save money A lot of trouble...Of course, this is just a small suggestion from me."

"There is also a caravan going to the Griffin Fortress?" Instructor Nora asked curiously.

"Almost every month, these caravans are basically transporting some supplies to some villages at the foot of the mountain, taking the opportunity to buy some magic herbs and monster materials."

Guide Magery explained to Instructor Nora.

"Yes..." Instructor Nora thought for a while and agreed.

Margery led the adventure group in a carriage and hurried towards the edge of Padstow City.

The coachman knew that everyone was in a hurry, so he raised his whip, and the carriage ran fast.

In this bustling elf city, in the morning, there were not many elves on the street, and many shops were in a state of rest.

When the carriage ran to the edge of the city of Padstow, the place gradually became lively. Many elves gathered here, and there were a lot of supplies and horses, which looked chaotic.

There are still some caravans parked on the side of the road, and many caravans are already ready to go.

The guide Margery skillfully walked into the crowd, inquired around, and then led the members of the adventure group to a caravan with more than 20 horses. Supplies, a group of elves are waiting in front of these horses.

One of the executive-looking elves wearing a turban stepped forward, smiled at Marjry and said:
"Majry, do you still want to go to Barrier Village?"

Margery took a step back sideways, pointed at Instructor Nora with both hands, and introduced to the caravan supervisor:
"Captain Sindeji, this is Instructor Nora. Their adventure group is very famous in Castletown. This is also an adventure group that wants to try to climb the Griffin Barrier, so I want to follow this group again." The adventure group will try it out."

The caravan leader Xin Deji just smiled intriguingly and didn't say anything else.

"So... you plan to travel with our caravan?"

Commander Hindji asked Majri, but glanced at Instructor Nora.

"The last destination of our caravan happened to be Barrier Village, and we plan to go there to buy some goldenthorn and sunflowers, you can go with us, but almost everyone in our caravan has a horse, if you want to go with us Let's go together, I suggest you go to the carriage and horse shop to rent a few horses, otherwise it will be very tiring to keep up with our caravan on two legs."

Instructor Nora looked at Guide Marjri.

Margery said quickly: "I know a horse and carriage company. The rent for a horse is only one Kohler per day, but you need to pay a deposit before you can take the horse away."

"Let's go and have a look!" Instructor Nora said decisively.

Under the introduction of Margery, the adventure group rented nine horses from a nearby carriage and horse dealership.

The deposit was staggeringly high, enough to buy an entire horse.

However, as long as the horses are brought back safely, the deposit will be refunded in full.

Everyone in the adventure group led their horses back to the caravan. As expected, Commander Xin Deji was already waiting for everyone here. When he saw the people in the adventure group leading their horses, he waved to everyone and yelled: " Get on the horse..."

The voice was very loud and high-pitched, and the members of the caravan mounted their horses one after another and left Padstow along a dirt road.

Margery led everyone to follow behind, while introducing the caravan of Commander Hindji to Instructor Nora:
"Leader Xin Deji is doing business in the villages along the Padstow and Barrier villages. They purchase a large amount of goods from Padstow and sell them to the villages along the way. Some of the goods are also pre-ordered by customers in those villages."

"Then buy some valuable goods from these villages and ship them back to Padstow City, mainly some magic herbs, Warcraft materials, gemstone mines, etc."

"This kind of business, as long as you return to Padstow in a safe and sound way, you can make a profit without losing money."

"They can't afford to hire a mercenary group to accompany them, so if there is an adventure group willing to travel together, it is definitely a dream."

The team walked out of Padstow City and directly entered a large forest with dense leaves. A road has been stepped on here, but this kind of forest road is a bit muddy. If they were not riding horses, everyone in the adventure group would have to step on it Walk through the mud.

The humidity in the woods is heavy, and there are no weeds or vines between the trees, but thick moss grows on all the trunks.

The ground is also extremely slippery, there is a decaying smell in the air, and colorful mushrooms can be seen everywhere.

Guide Margery warned everyone very seriously:

"Not only can I not touch those mushrooms, but I also have to keep an eye on my horses, so that they don't sniff around and accidentally roll poisonous mushrooms into their mouths. I guess I can't get out the money that was staked in the carriage shop. gone."

It was difficult for a ray of sunlight to shine through the dense canopy of trees. The ground was covered with green moss, and it was impossible to tell where the ground was and where the puddles were.

So everyone basically follows the caravan along the way...

At this time, Roy clearly realized how important an excellent guide is in the adventure group.

In fact, it doesn't mean that he must know all the roads, as long as he can bring the adventure group to the destination safely, it is considered that he has completed the task.

The biggest advantage of traveling with the caravan is that you don't have to spend a lot of time arranging a campsite.

An experienced caravan leader found the best location for camping. Not only is the location dry, but the surrounding area must also be lush with water and grass.

Because there are nearly 30 horses in the team, every time they stop at a place, the first thing to do is to drink and feed the horses, and then they can set up camp.

The food the elves eat is relatively simple, most of them eating some breadfruit to satisfy their hunger. The members of the caravan are almost all mixed-blood elves, so occasionally the food of the caravan is mixed with some dried fish.

Most elves are used to a slow life, and this caravan will definitely find a suitable place to camp before dark every day.

Occasionally, a bonfire party is held in the evening.

The elves will not kill weak creatures in the jungle, so deer are often seen in this forest. These deer see the caravan, and even walk with the caravan to confirm that the caravan will not vote. After feeding them, he reluctantly left.

There will also be some wild boar families, often a few female wild boars and a group of patterned young wild boars, lying in groups in mud pits.

Looking at the wild boars rolling in the mud pit, Roy really wanted to hunt one, and then remove a pig leg, even if it was roasted on the campfire, his mouth would water...

But walking with a group of elves, he couldn't do that.

Along the way, Roy has learned a lot, especially how to choose a campsite in the dense forest, how to choose a road, and so on.

It took two days for Commander Xin Deji to lead everyone out of the dense forest with ease.

Walking out of this dense forest, standing in the sun again, feeling the warm sunshine on the body, drying the moldy body little by little, breathing the air without musty smell, feeling that the skin on the body is no longer sticky, Luo Yi wished she could lie directly on the grass and let the sun bask in her well.

The rest of the adventure group probably felt the same way.

Guide Margery pointed to a clear stream below the hillside, and introduced to everyone in the adventure group:

"If any of the ladies in the group want to take a bath, they can walk upstream along this creek. There are several naturally formed pools in the upstream, which are very suitable for bathing. However, because of the open air, someone must let the wind out. Everyone take turns taking a bath!"

Along the way, I feel like mushrooms are growing on my body.

Instructor Nora immediately greeted the female members of the adventure group, and everyone moved towards the upper reaches of the creek together...

Men need to drink and feed the horses first, and only after these are done can they solve their personal problems.

……

Roy followed Instructor Gru to feed the horses, and Instructor Virgil went to set up the tent.

Roy led the horse to the edge of the creek, just in time to see Commander Hindji taking a few caravan guys to bathe the horse with a brush.

Commander Xin Deji put down the brush in his hand, sat on a big rock by the stream, and watched Roy's clumsy movements...

He is different from other elves. Almost all elves will ask Roy about his race when they see him for the first time.

But Commander Hindji didn't, he said to Roy:
"If you want to jump over the Griffin Barrier, you have to be careful! Griffins in this season are generally more irritable. Recently, there have been frequent incidents of Griffin attacking elves near the barrier village."

Hearing him talking about the griffins entrenched near the griffin barrier, Roy asked curiously:

"Are griffins big?"

Commander Xin Deji wiped his slightly vicissitudes of face, nodded and replied:

"It's huge, with a wingspan of seven or eight meters. It can easily catch a cow into the air."

Seeing Roy sitting aside patiently, Commander Hindji said a few more words:
"They are good at sneak attacks, and they are very patient when hovering in the air. Ordinary baits cannot lure these griffins down. Our caravan was also captured by a griffin last year. A horse, this guy comes and goes like a gust of wind, the lair Built on top of the hill of the Griffon's Rampart."

Roy felt a headache when he thought about it, but if the elves encountered dangerous birds in their lives, great elf archers would come out to solve the trouble.

"Are there no big elf archers coming to hunt?" Roy couldn't help asking.

Commander Xin Deji shook his head slightly and said:

"Griffins are huge in size, with rough skin and thick flesh. It is difficult to shoot them to death with one arrow. Once they cannot be killed, it will become very troublesome. Wounded griffins will become crazy, and they will continue to harass the elves. The village will not stop this attack until its flames are completely subsided."

"The strength of an adult griffin is equivalent to a third-level monster, but there are very few valuable materials on it. Many adventure groups think that hunting griffins is not worth the loss, and these guys are very cunning and difficult to catch..."

Guide Marjri came over at this time and interrupted Commander Hindji's chat.

"Is the village of Tines in front? How long are you going to stay in the village?" the guide Magery asked.

Commander Xin Deji thought for a while and replied: "It will take about a whole day..."

"Then I'll take the adventure group around the nearby forest area. I heard that there were two blue ice deer near here last month." Guide Margery said.

"It did appear here before, but it was already last month. I heard that several adventure groups came here to try their luck."

Captain Shindeji did not hide anything and said directly.

"So let's try our luck too!" said the Marjri guide with a smile.

……

The next morning, the caravan entered an elf village.

This elven village was built in a forest where the trees are not so dense and there is plenty of sunlight.

The tree houses are very sparsely distributed, and it seems that there are dozens of families of elves scattered here and there.

The caravan rushed over, and the village was as lively as a festival.

The elves ran out of their homes one after another, surrounded the caravan to ask questions, not all of them were going to buy things, more elves wanted to know the latest news in Padstow, and this caravan also had The role of messaging.

The elves in the village were very enthusiastic, and they took out some magic herbs they had accumulated and exchanged them for various commodities.

The products here are rich, and many elves make a living by collecting magic herbs.

There are still many young elves in the village, but almost all of them are young half-breed elves. Their simple and restrained eyes look at Christine frequently. Every young elf seems very excited. They even use slapstick to attract girls attention……

However, none of the young elves dared to approach Miss Christine, but many young elves ran to Sabrina to strike up a conversation. Even if Sabrina put on a frosty look, some elves would bite the bullet and bump into her.

The caravan was doing business in the village, and the guide Margery led the adventure group out of the village and walked directly towards a hillside behind the village.

A dense forest here not only has vigorous growth of trees, but also a faint mist on the mountainside, which looks like a quiet place.

Guide Margery introduced to Instructor Nora:
"There is a cold pond on the mountainside over there, so it is filled with fog all the year round. A while ago, it even attracted two blue ice deer, but those two blue ice deer are also extremely cunning. Whenever they see an elf, they will immediately run away. "

The blue ice deer is a second-level magical beast. Generally, they will not take the initiative to attack elves. They can release "ice arrows". The deerskin on their bodies is also light blue with ice flowers. Many elves like blue ice deerskin...
