Chapter 34 - Go to Yuanshan Town (thanks to the book friend\\\'s decadent x reward)
Falls in town?
Andrina frowned, trying to find some information about this strange town from her limited knowledge.
She thought for a moment, and finally shook her head slightly, looked at Thorne with doubtful eyes and said, “I haven’t heard of it.”
Although she stayed in Winter City almost all the time and didn’t go out much, it didn’t mean that her news was blocked.
On the contrary, Andrina has a special hobby, that is, she likes to collect all kinds of information about the players.
In this unfamiliar world, she believes that only when she can feel the presence of a player from a place can Andrina feel that she is not so alone.
This is also the main reason why she chooses to live in the lower city and open a bar in a very remote corner.
Seeing the busyness of the players every day seems to make her feel that this is actually just a game!
It is this self-deception lifestyle that has allowed her, a weak woman, to stand strong until now.
One game, one hundred different lives.
Not everyone likes that kind of fight-and-kill life.
And she just wanted to spend the rest of her life in an ordinary and indifferent world.
It’s a pity that it backfired. Even Winter City, which has legendary wizards, has suffered a heavy blow, so where is the place to be safe?
In the westernmost part of Winter City is a large sword-marked mountain range.
This vast group of mountains stretches from the northern coast of the entire Corina Peninsula to the southernmost coast of the Sea of Radiance.
To the east of the mountain range is an intertwined natural terrain of woodlands, hills, moors, swamps and grasslands.
This sprawling area is collectively known as: The Emerald Wilds!
The Emerald Wilderness is an area rich in living resources, nurturing countless intelligent races.
Because of this, there is a tragic war in which humans and various intelligent races compete for living space all the time.
In this emerald field with a complex natural environment, among the forces established by the players themselves, the ones that impressed her the most were:
The closest ones are Far Mountain Town, Twilight Town, and Iron Horse Town, and the farther ones are Horn Town and a mysterious Tomante town founded by players of the tiefling race.
As for Waterfall Town, she had never heard of it.
“You haven’t heard of it. It’s normal. It’s at least 1,000 kilometers from here to Waterfall Town.” Thorne felt the other party’s puzzled gaze, looked at the gray-white wilderness in the distance, and said lightly.
After that, Andrina was left in a daze, pulled out the long sword stuck on the ground, and walked towards the fire not far away.
Back then, it took him nearly a month and a half to get there from Pushang Town to Winter City.
The distance between Waterfallshang Town and Winter City is too far, so there is almost no communication between the two places, and there are naturally many people who have not heard of it.
This is a world where information is blocked and traffic is not very developed.
Except for businessmen and adventurers, most civilians and players may not be able to leave the villages and towns they live in their entire lives.
They are constantly under threat from evil humanoids from all directions.
From the weakest kobolds and goblins to mighty hill giants and more.
These evil intelligent races, as long as you don’t beat them down or completely eliminate them!
They will form a new threat again with their powerful reproductive ability!
Then suddenly attack your territory when you are weak or not paying attention!
Those players who survived in the wilderness have established their own villages and towns.
But it can only be said that it is difficult to live in the wilderness, and I dare not admit that I am the real owner of this land in the wilderness!
If you want to carve out a territory in this world, it is impossible to pave the way with blood!
Today’s player power obviously does not have this ability!
More than a thousand kilometers!
A little surprise flashed in Andrina’s eyes looking at Thorne.
Immediately, her eyes dimmed, and it was obvious that Waterfall Town was not a good place to choose in her mind.
She’s just a pampered woman in the real world.
If you want to go to the town of waterfalls, you must be prepared to walk nearly a thousand kilometers from the dangerous wilderness.
Even in the most comfortable carriage, she didn’t think she would be able to hold on.
…
A bonfire dissipated the surrounding darkness and cool air, bringing warmth to the frigid environment.
Experienced the catastrophe of struggling on the edge of life and death.
After seeing the flames, these surviving players seemed to have an inexplicable peace of mind in their hearts.
The originally tense look slowly let go, revealing a long-lost smile.
The place where the players are at this point is a small valley that Thorne is looking for for them to shelter from the wind.
As a ranger, Thorne is naturally good at surviving in the wilderness.
The place is desolate and full of weeds, in stark contrast to the jungle where Trundle the troll gathers firewood not far away.
For those greedy nocturnal hunters, they generally rarely visit here.
But with fire, it’s different.
Because of the bright fire at night, it is easy to attract the attention of beasts or evil humanoids.
But there is no way.
Without the warmth brought by the fire, in this cold night, these players without camping equipment, even if they will not freeze to death, will cause fever, headache and other diseases due to the cold air invading the body.
There are no so-called hospitals and clinics here, and there is no medicine to treat diseases, which means that they can only rely on thin clothes to resist.
It’s good to be able to withstand it, but the end result of not being able to resist is to become the breakfast of a creature in the wilderness.
No one will feel sorry for them or pity them.
“Brother Thorne is here, sit down!” A red warrior player whose face was lit by fire greeted Thorne with respect in his eyes when he saw Thorne walking towards him.
When Thorne walked over, several players immediately vacated a clean spot.
Pardo, who was originally watching with a book, also raised his head and looked at Thorne.
But Thorne didn’t sit down, but took out a bag from his pocket and handed it to the player closest to him:
“It’s a powder for repelling poisonous insects, and you sprinkle it around the camp so that you can rest from the poisonous insects while you are resting.”
Looking at these surviving players, Thorne thought for a while, and finally decided to leave them there when he passed by the nearest distant mountain town when he went to the waterfall town.
It is nearly a thousand kilometers away from the town of waterfalls, and it is impossible for Thorne to bring all the players of these oil bottles.
Traveling in the wilderness, even Thorne himself has to be extra careful, not to mention these players who have no survival experience, what is the difference between that and death?
However, from here to the nearest far mountain town, walking on foot, it takes at least two days to walk, which means that players have to experience two cold nights.
“Have you heard of Yuanshan Town?” Thorne asked directly.
Yuanshan Town?
Pardo was stunned for a moment, and then said: “I heard my uncle say that it is the closest town to Winter City, which was established by player forces.”
Several other soldiers also nodded subconsciously when they heard the words, although they made a living as coolies at the dock.
But it’s not entirely a novice. Sometimes when I go to Anderina’s bar occasionally, I will meet players from Yuanshan Town who are doing business.
I still know a little bit about Yuanshan Town.
The reason why they chose to stay in Winter City and not go to the player’s territory in the wilderness was mainly because those places were too unsafe.
It is always facing the threat of other intelligent races.
The establishment of Yuanshan Town, in the final analysis, was actually piled up by the flesh and blood of countless players.
The most tragic one was this year’s harvest day. A large ogre tribe drove countless goblins and kobold slaves to **** food. Nearly half of more than 2,000 players died in this **** food defense battle.
Because there is no food, they can’t even make it through this winter!
And they are different.
The natural six-dimensional attributes of the players are all elite templates, and these warrior players have physique and strength attributes far beyond ordinary people.
For the coolie work at the dock, it couldn’t be easier, except for the lower wages, everything else was satisfactory.
They are all salted fish with no lofty ideals, just trying to be safe.
Therefore, at the beginning, it was not influenced by people with intentions to draw big cakes and excited and inspiring words.
Facts have proved that if it weren’t for the crisis encountered by Winter City, their choice was really quite good.
“Then you all have a good rest tonight. I’ll watch the night. Tomorrow we’ll go to Yuanshan Town. If you don’t want to, then feel free. I will never interfere with your decision.”
Thorne glanced at Pardo and said lightly.
