Sword and Magic and Taxi

Chapter 68: Smoke and fire

   Zhao Mai and his dog rode down the river on a raft, ignorant of what happened in the farmer's forest. Along the way, they heard angry roars from deep in the forest from time to time, as if some kind of large beast was provoked. Sometimes, the sound of shaking the sky and the earth in the battle can also reach Zhao Mai's ears, making people wonder what exactly is happening in the deep forest? But this curiosity will not reduce Zhao Mai's IQ, he is very clear about what he wants to do.

   Fortunately, there is no turbulence in the Smokey River, so the drifting is very calm, and there is no danger along the way. It took Zhao Mai and Aliang for two whole days and one night to finally see Lang'er Town, at least they can sleep without soaking in the water. Here is a town with farming and iron smelting as its main business. Every day, cargo ships will transport the products out, through the peaceful and safe Ash Lake, directly to Nebo Town. Zhao Mai only spent a small amount of money and got on such a boat that night.

   "You just got out of the river, continue on your way?" The captain of the cargo ship is an experienced old man, and he takes his son to eat and live on the lake. "If you are not in a hurry, you can stay in the town for one night. Alyssa from the Grass Carp Inn is a warm beauty."

   "Uh, I do have an urgent matter. I have to go back to see my father. He is sick."

   The captain saw that Zhao Mai did not seem to be lying, so he agreed to follow him all the way. Recently, the Farmer’s Forest has become more and more insecure. It is said that there are terrible monsters haunting it. The mayor of Wolf's Ear Town has sent two waves of messengers to seek help from the druids, but now there is no news.

   Zhao Mai's costume is like a druid, and he also carries a dog with him. The old man had never seen such a smart dog in his life, and he knew where he was best without directing. It stands to reason that he should wait for the druid to see the mayor, at least the mayor will have the opportunity to inquire about the druid. But the child did seem to be anxious to go home, so he curled his lips to avoid the trouble.

   This is an old sailing ship. When sailing, the mast swayed slightly under the blow of the wind, making a creaking sound all the time. Zhao Mai meditated in this sound, connecting his body with the natural force, and feeling the difference between the lake and the forest. Taking the initiative to participate in adventure and placing yourself in an environment where you must work hard to survive can certainly stimulate your potential and promote growth. But the passive approach of meditation is also indispensable. After all, movement and stillness are natural states, and balance must also be achieved.

   "Young man, there seems to be something wrong in front." The captain put up a pergola and looked far south. "How do I feel that there are many plumes of smoke in Nebo Town?"

   Zhao Mai stood up and tried to check the place where the sky and water meet in the south. Indeed, as the captain said, a few black smoke clouds can be seen faintly floating towards the sky. This is definitely not cooking smoke, and it is definitely not a good sign. "Let's go ahead and see what happens? Maybe it's just a fire."

   The captain nodded: "My boy, maybe you are right. Let's drive a little longer."

   The closer you get, the more obvious the smoke plume, and Zhao Mai's heart sinks deeper and deeper. The number of fireworks has exceeded ten. This is obviously not an accidental fire, but more like an attack by a siege. The captain frowned and looked at the surface of the water, suddenly lost in shock, immediately turned the boat to tow, adjusted the sails, and turned to the west bank.

   Zhao Mai was swayed for a while, and quickly asked: "Captain, why turn around?"

"Look, there are waves coming from Nebo Town, but no ship is seen. It stands to reason that at this time, whether it is a normal merchant ship or a fleeing boat, the lake should not be calm. Well, do you want to understand now? "

   Someone or something is blocking the waterway, Zhao Mai quickly came to the same conclusion. "Captain, if you decide not to go to Nebo Town, can you put me down on the east coast. So I can continue on my way."

"Which way are you on? There are wars ahead! It is not ordinary bad guys who can block the waterway, at least ordinary robbers can't do this. Listen to my advice, get on the road from the West Bank, or we can go straight to Gaudura. The castle can protect you!"

   "I insist on docking from the east side. You can leave me after you drop me." Zhao Mai said, "I have a reason to go."

   "You!" The captain was about to refute, when suddenly he found that the Druid's hand had touched the handle of the weapon behind him, and his dog was also on guard. Damn it, this job was purely unlucky, and I must have been missing the prayer to Desna, the goddess of luck recently, so I was caught by Unlucky Star.

   In desperation, he had no choice but to turn half a circle, turn around and head east.

   There is no wharf on the east coast, and the cargo ships dare not get too close, so Zhao Mai and the grain reserves had to wade on the shore. When they stood on the dry ground, the cargo ship ran away long ago.

   "Reserve grain, you should follow me home and have a look. I invite you to a big meal, you must know that Chinese food is the greatest food in the world."

   The reserve grain barked twice, but it didn't sound very excited. Zhao Mai looked at it and sighed for a long time: "Oh, you really understand what I think. Sock and Green are still in Nebo Town. Of course I am worried about them. But you know, go back soon. It’s very important. I have a family in another world and a father who needs my care."

   "Wang!" The reserve grain may have understood, and he began to wag his tail towards Zhao Mai. "People sometimes need to make a choice, I'm just a first-level druid~www.NovelMTL.com~ what can I do, right?"

   Just like that, he kept saying that Zhao Mai couldn't get rid of his hesitation completely. He kept hinting to himself: This is not my world, I am just a taxi driver, and definitely not a savior.

   The black plume of smoke rising near Nebo Town in the south is so dazzling in the sky, Zhao Mai's nerves are disturbed every time I look. He had to lower his head, focus on the ground, and try not to think about what was happening in the distance.

   Not looking for trouble does not mean trouble not looking for you. Seeing that he was about to reach the place where he hid "THE·CHE", the food reserves suddenly rushed into the woods. "Stop, what are you going to do?!" Zhao Mai yelled and couldn't stop, so he had to follow.

   The reserve grain ran so fast, not caring about the pain caused by the thorns of the bush branches. Zhao Mai followed closely, took the machete in his hand, and slashed his way out. Only tens of meters deep into the woods, Zhao Mai could smell the faint smell of blood in the air, and couldn't help but get nervous.

   Going around a cluster of heathers and following the barking sound, Zhao Mai couldn't help being stunned by what he saw. Without a trace of hesitation, he rushed up immediately, chanting the healing light wound spell in a trembling voice.

   Ranger Carl rested on the body of the python "Long Worm" and fell in a pool of blood. Both he and the python were seriously injured, and the blood from the body mixed under the body, forming a small blood pit. Seeing the reserve and Zhao Mai, the python nodded slightly and pointed at Karl with his tongue.

   The natural force released by the healing light wound spell, mixed with Zhao Mai's anxious sweat, gave Carl the power of healing. After a spell, the wound was still there, but the bleeding was finally stopped~www.NovelMTL.com~Book friends are welcome to visit and read, the latest, fastest and hottest serial works are all at ~www.NovelMTL.com~ For mobile users, please To read.
