Sword and Magic and Taxi

　　 Driving along the health forest to the southwest, the trees gradually became sparse, and from time to time, intermittent logging trails appeared near the shore of Ash Lake. On both sides of the path, some old and decaying tree trunks can be seen. After wind, sun and rain, they have become shelters for moss, mushrooms and other plants.

　　 Through the shelter of the trees, you can see the old tree stumps hidden among the grass and bushes. It used to be a logging farm, and high-quality wood provided a source of livelihood for many people. Nebo Town is located next to the Health Forest, or to be more accurate, part of the health forest was cut down, changed its form, and became the current Nebo Town.

　　 The former town prospered because of logging, but it also caused disasters because of excessive logging. A group of druids living near Ash Lake did not agree with the deforestation of Nepo Town for commercial gain, and launched their actions after repeated warnings to no avail. A plague curse against wood loggers struck Nebo Town. All those who fell trees were infected. They were extremely weak and quickly lost their ability to work.

　　The townspeople and the druids started to oppose each other. Merchants in Nebo Town hired many adventurers, launched a continuous attack on the druid community, and pursued and suppressed the two forests on the east and west sides of Ash Lake. The druids occupying the right time and place are very powerful. Many adventurers went to perform the task, but they disappeared without a trace as if they were swallowed by the forest.

　　 The huge risk pushes up the reward for the task, but the wealth accumulated by the merchants in the past is enough to keep the task going. More and more adventurers are attracted to Nebo Town by profit, and join hands for this task. After exchanging many casualties with the druids, they found another way to make money.

　　The young and middle-aged in Nebo Town are mainly loggers. Under the curse of the weak plague, they can barely pick up bowls and eat, and they can't do anything, let alone take up weapons to protect themselves. The defense of Nebo Town has dropped to the lowest level in history, but the adventurers gathered here are the strongest ever. Although not all adventurers will become robbers, under the concatenation and bewilderment of some caring people, honest adventurers who are willing to selflessly help the town have become a minority.

　　 A looting began, the whole town fell into chaos, and the killing continued in the name of money. The druid saw everything in his eyes and offered a helping hand when the townspeople were desperate. A safe passage for refuge in the forest appeared, and the beast became a protector, which greatly reduced the loss of people in Nebo Town.

　　 The town was almost in ruins, but on the ruins, the villagers and the druids reached an understanding, and crazy commercial logging became history. From the original wood production to wood product processing, the use of trees has decreased, but the profit is not much different from the past. In addition, the townspeople began to plant trees and planned to supplement the healthy forest, and a new balance appeared.

　　The pursuit of those robber adventurers has lasted for twenty years, and all the money recovered has been used for the construction of the town. After this lesson, Nebo Town attaches great importance to dialogue and communication, and is very opposed to intensifying conflicts to the extent of armed confrontation, and their capable and professional town guards are a powerful guarantee for this kind of thinking.

　　 This is a "silly" town! Although it is a somewhat slanderous and biased statement, it can also reflect the style of the town. Because of this style, it is not difficult to understand that it has become the most tolerant and open town in the north.

　　 The forest that Zhao Mai saw along the way was replanted later. The stumps left over from the past felling still remain in place because the roots are still holding on to the soil and the cost of excavation and cleaning is too high. Roads in the forest are often "gnawed" by tree stumps and are not suitable for cars.

　　Modern transportation needs a whole system to support, and the level of Glarion is still at the level of horse riding and carriage. Zhao Mai also thought of this. No, he was driving while discussing with his partner.

　　 "I think we can't park the car in the village or town. The risk is too great. Such a rare thing will attract too much attention, don't you think?"

　　 "Wang", the grain reserve opened his eyes and answered very seriously.

　　 "Although I defeated the dwarf illusionist before, it was mental arithmetic and unintentional, and it does not represent my true ability. If others have mental arithmetic and give me a sap, then I will be miserable?"

　　 The food reserve opened his mouth wide, his tongue licked from the upper row of teeth, and then he screamed twice.

"Oh, don't you agree? You said that if you are there, no one will be able to sap me?" Zhao Mai looked at the puppy with a grin, and said with satisfaction: "Thank you for your concern, but you are still too young, I can't Take your risk. It’s better to be safe."

　　 "Wow!"

　　 "I must have a brain problem to keep talking with the dog, and it can still be very smooth." Zhao Mai pinched his face hard, the pain of the brain made him alert. "I hope this won't be a sign of schizophrenia. Saying that you are too self-sufficient will not end well."

　　 This is what Zhao Mai is most worried about. He was able to drive across in a taxi. This incident caused him a huge shock. If he can't share it with others, his inner excitement will accumulate and become more and more congested. Maybe it will destroy the nerve defense line at any time. So he seized every opportunity to learn the lingua franca and constantly simulated various communication occasions with a limited vocabulary, hoping to integrate into this world as soon as possible.

　　 But the car still has to be hidden. It's never a good idea for UU reading www.uukánshu.com to swagger into the town. The ranger told Zhao Mai to go to Nebo Town through his dog legs, but he didn't say what exactly Nebo Town was like. What if there is a strong lord there who decides to rob after seeing the car? If Zhao Mai was still in the car, he would not be afraid. The only thing he was afraid of was what he said to the grain reserve: being sapped.

　　 An abandoned logging yard appeared on the side of the road, and many animals frightened by car horns rushed out of the half-collapsed warehouse. The roads in the factory area have long been destroyed. With wind, frost, rain, snow and unattended, the forces of nature will inevitably cover up the traces of industry.

　　 This is a nice place. Zhao Mai drove around and found no features of camping or human presence. He removed a few rotten woods and parked the car in a warehouse where half of the walls were missing. Unless you walk in and you are standing next to the car, you can't tell from the outside that there is still such a thing parked in the warehouse.

　　 The next way is to go by myself. Zhao Mai rummaged through the old lumber yard, picked up a few good long pieces of wood, chopped, cut and wrapped them with cloth, and used them as long sticks, poles, and walking sticks. A dilapidated wheelbarrow can still be used, provided that it can withstand the loud creaking sound of friction. No oil was found in the entire logging yard, so this harsh sound accompanied Zhao Mai all the way.

　　 After leaving the logging yard, he followed the faintly visible old road. After about half a day, Zhao Mai embarked on a business road with wheel indentation. Behind the forest in the distance, a faint white smoke went up to the sky, mixing with clouds. There is Nebo Town, which is about to usher in a pair of hungry travelers.
