Chapter 97: Fallen Leaf City

By the warm campfire.

Aladdin is preparing a late-night snack, which is actually a slice of some kind of meat, then sprinkled with spices and roasted. Plot The aboriginal halflings are people who know how to enjoy themselves. They will use at least half of the wealth they get from adventures to make their lives more comfortable, and the halflings will not take risks for a long time, and they often make a fortune. Then I will choose to go back to my hometown to retire. Vivienne couldn't eat anymore, and Gloria had a rare hiccup, and then entered the carriage with a slightly red face.

Sauron's appetite was quite good, and a person with a stronger physique had a stronger digestion ability, and his appetite doubled compared to before.

For example, he carries jerky with him now, mainly to avoid battles and no time to cook. He can directly hold the jerky for a while, and it will be much better when he breaks through to the fourth level. At that time, his endurance will be greatly reduced. Strengthening, even if you don't eat for seven or eight days in a row, it doesn't matter. He still knows a little about barbecue. The two of them sat by the fire and ate slices of meat. It may be because there is an extra gourmet by his side, and Sauron accidentally unlocked the basic cooking skills.

It's already 20 o'clock now.

There are many types of basic skills. In addition to the ability to directly affect combat, it also includes forging, cooking, tailoring, and so on. These skills are not very useful. Generally, few people specialize in training. Weapon forging and armor forging have limits. If you want to create extraordinary equipment, you must cooperate with alchemy. The most typical one is the wizard's robes. Many high-level robes require special materials, such as the tough spider silk from the Underdark. Making clothes with this kind of spider silk is not something ordinary tailors can do.

As for the wizard himself, you can't expect him to be proficient in sewing when he has learned so many things.

Therefore, the number of high-level extraordinary items has always been very rare.

Aladdin leaned against the carriage and smoked a pipe, handed Sauron a small bag of tobacco, and said with a smile, "Try the tobacco from the Norodod family, it's the best tobacco in northern Shire."

Sauron didn't refuse either. He reached out to take it and took out a little bit. He basically didn't drink alcohol. If necessary, he could use tobacco to ease the pain. Sometimes it could be used to divert attention after injury. Tobacco grown by halflings is basically rich and difficult to buy. They are good things that many wizards are keen on. When lit, they have a faint fragrance, which can help refresh themselves when necessary. The effect is similar to the incense that Gloria lit, except that tobacco is mostly a hobby of male wizards.

The night was getting dark.

The halfling spread out a blanket, then rolled it up and tucked into it to sleep. It was unknown if he fell asleep, after all, it was difficult for wanderers to fall asleep easily.

The rogue is the one with the heaviest task in the adventurer team, and they must be vigilant at all times.

If you are accidentally attacked, the rogue is definitely the first character to be questioned, so for a long time, rogues like to walk alone, because their tasks are too hard. When encountering dangerous terrain, they have to be at the forefront, and they have to deal with the road-finding traps. At night, the mages are meditating, and the soldiers are sleeping soundly, but the wanderers have to be vigilant at all times and smoke when it is safe. Take a little time to rest. It's okay to have a high-level ranger to replace it. It's useless without warrior vigil in many dangerous places. The enemy doesn't know when they are invisible.

It’s still a person’s activities, so I can leave as soon as I say, and stay as long as I say, which is very comfortable.

There was a faint howling of wolves in the distance.

Sauron sat resting in the carriage, and Vivian tugged at the corner of his clothes with her small hands. Sauron smiled and touched her little head, expressing that he didn't need to get into the carriage. Although the halfling is very friendly, he won't take his guard lightly. Even with the security circle arranged by the witch, he still thinks that he will be more at ease when he keeps watch at night, otherwise he won't be able to sleep well at night. The weather is getting colder and colder, maybe this year's winter will come earlier, it seems that it will be much colder than usual.

Aladdin gradually slept soundly. It is estimated that what he desires the most is not a ride, but a good night's sleep.

In the wilderness, he probably didn't dare to sleep peacefully.

Sauron sat upright covered with a blanket, and occasionally stood up and walked around carefully, listening to the sound in the distance. It was the wolves who had discovered the bonfire here, but they wisely did not come to bother them. If the wolves are not very hungry, they still rely on wild animals as their staple food. Attacking travelers will reduce their population, and it will be very difficult for the population to reproduce.

By the next morning, Sauron's body was covered with hoarfrost.

The weather is really cold.

Sauron, who has an extraordinary physique of 20 points, didn't care much, but when Vivienne woke up and saw the hoarfrost on his eyebrows, there was a distressed expression on his small face, and she wiped off his body with her small hands. Bai Shuang opened his small mouth and began to blow, and rubbed his palm vigorously: "Brother? Is it cold?"

Sauron kissed her on the forehead and said with a smile, "It's not cold. This kind of chill is nothing."

The weather has really changed.

When she got up in the morning and exhaled, there was already a white mist. Gloria frowned, and whispered: "This year's winter has come more than a month earlier than before."

Sauron nodded slightly, but didn't say anything.

After waking up, Aladdin moved around first, and then started to find some dry firewood to cook porridge. His stuff was complete, and the group continued to set off after a simple meal. It may be because the road ahead was cleared by the caravan, and they didn't encounter any monsters along the way. This kind of journey lasted for two days, and they finally arrived within the range of Fallen Leaf City after the fifth day.

This is the domain of the half-elves.

Half-elves are very common here. They have slightly pointed ears, a more slender and flexible figure than humans, and a more handsome and beautiful face. However, most of the half-elves have been mixed many times. The proportion of human blood is very large, and the proportion of elf blood is reduced. The village is similar to that of human, but there are many more arrow towers and watchtowers. There are many longbowmen here, even more than elves, because elves are not as powerful as humans. Although they are very agile, they tend to get tired easily when using longbows.

Human strength is enough, but the skills are not enough. It takes too much time to train longbowmen, far inferior to crossbowmen and ordinary archers.

The half-elf combines the advantages of both parties, that is, it has good strength, and also inherits the talent of the elves for bows and arrows.

Almost every village here has longbowmen, and some towns can also see longbowman guards. Among all the mixed races, the half-elf had the best life. Others, such as the half-orcs, were now either serving as vassal slaves or wandering around. It is very exclusive here, half-elves are more repulsive to any creature that is not a half-elf, and they will watch outsiders with vigilant eyes. Because they were once in the society of humans and elves, they would have been rejected in the same way.

The so-called racial harmony is just a slogan preached by idealists.

Sauron and the others didn't stop, they headed directly towards Fallen Leaf City, and finally arrived at Fallen Leaf City on the sixth day of their trip.

"Okay. I'm going to the iron dwarves."

The small halfling jumped out of the carriage, waved to Vivienne who was about the same height as him, and then left very freely. "Goodbye. Lovely little girl. Goodbye. Your Excellency the Witch. Goodbye, together."

"I have time to travel to Shire, and I'll treat you to grilled sturgeon."

It's a normal thing to separate.

Even for a team of adventurers who have been together for a long time, there will be a moment of parting.

Vivienne's expression was a little disappointed, but she recovered quickly. She sorted out the gifts she received with a smile, her little face was full of joy. She actually liked that halfling, because he gave her the feeling of a little friend. Compared with other children, she still seemed too smart and mature. Therefore, only the halfling who looks like an adult but is the size of a child makes the little girl feel the joy of meeting a little friend.

Fallen Leaf City has the style of the elves.

Most of them believe in the elven god system, and a small number of them will devote themselves to other beliefs. Half-elves also have their own gods, but they are very weak, and they are only weak gods, and they cannot protect them at all. Fallen Leaves City is full of sycamore trees, and the leaves fall in abundance in autumn, which looks very poetic. They worship the legendary phoenix, so they also like sycamore trees.

Phoenix has many names.

Monks like to call it the Phoenix, priests call it the Sunbird, and wizards call it the Ash of Arcane.

It existed during the time of the Arcane Empire.

After that, it is basically hard to see, rarer than gods, and stronger than dragons. It is said that the god of the elemental plane with powerful gods of fire offered them an olive branch. These beautiful and deadly creatures have long since left this world. Legend has it that the sky they fly will leave a brilliant flame, and when they land, everything will be reduced to ashes. The flames on them will only be extinguished at the moment of death, and this holy flame can cause hundreds of points of sacred flame damage every second.

So they are beautiful but inaccessible.

There are two landmark buildings in Fallen Leaf City. One is the phoenix sculpture on the central square, a sculpture with wings that is 30 meters high and 20 meters wide. The other is a domed tower more than 300 meters high, which is the site of the Autumn Leaf Council, which is the Council of Spellcasters inside the half-elves. These are not the most eye-catching things, what is more eye-catching is an iron pillar on the domed tower, exuding a silver-white light, it will be a bit dazzling if you look carefully in the sun.

It was the brilliance of mithril, and the pillar that looked like a lightning rod was actually the legendary magic crystal cannon.

In the imagination of mortals, the magic crystal cannon should be a very bulky cannon mounted on the city wall, just like the artillery used by dwarves and gnomes in the story. In their poorly imagined brains, it is difficult to determine what the legendary magic crystal cannon looks like. They can only imagine that the wizard will fill something called a magic crystal, and then use a spell to induce it to fire, and then boom Amidst the loud noise, the magic crystal cannon knocked down a giant dragon all at once.

Uh-huh.

That's the feeling, it's very touching when you think about it.

But in fact this is not the case. The magic crystal cannon's attack is not a parabola, but a straight line strike. Putting it on the city wall is simply a decoration, and it can kill all of its own people with one shot. It was born in the period of the Arcane Empire, and it was used in conjunction with the floating city. The maximum attack range is 1,000 kilometers, and it can carry out devastating strikes on the target from the air command point.

correct.

Its full name is the magic energy crystal superconducting pulse gun.
