Chapter 48 Finding a Guide(1/2)
"According to this way, you can't even tell the direction, let alone find the right path." Krisanna said to Bru.
"Since it is the capital, of course, all the avenues lead there, so you don't need to worry about this problem. Compared to this, I'm worried, will there be a dragon lich suddenly appear?"
"...Brother, can you say a few less words with your crow's mouth?"
“…”
Although Bru said so, they did not stay on the main street for long.
This is because as the most conspicuous road, the chance of meeting other people is very high.
Lan Long knew very well who was the one who came to this mission. He would be a fierce battle every minute when he met himself.
Although I am not afraid of fighting, I have wasted too much time on the road, so Bru does not intend to fight unnecessary.
But his thoughts were beautiful, but the reality was a blow to him.
In fact, if this area was not too dangerous, neighboring countries would not have left it vacant for so long.
In just one day of travel, Bru and others did not encounter hostile forces such as adventurers and paladins, but encountered several waves of attacks from undead creatures.
Most of them are the most common skeleton attacks, but these skeletons are not weak naturally born skeletons, but skeletons summoned by the necromancer.
Among them are large undead creatures like the Skeleton Taurus, which are dozens of times stronger than ordinary skeletons.
Then there are ghosts, ghosts and other undead creatures. These undead creatures who are never tired, without fear and hate creatures very much do not care who you are. When you see them, you will be arguing, regardless of whether the other party is stronger than you.
Although there are only some middle and low-level undead creatures, they are almost all native undead creatures that grow from the fog and darkness that year.
They are not very powerful, but the problem is that they are terriblely large, sometimes three or two, and sometimes hundreds are like a small army.
Facing the attacks of these skeletons, skeletons, ghosts, and ghosts, Macaria and Krisanna alone could easily solve them, but there was no trouble.
Unfortunately, what Krisanna said became a masterpiece. Bru and others soon found themselves lost, or they never knew the real way, so it was an Easter egg.
In a foggy city, it is too difficult to find the right path.
After seeing the same building for the third time, Blu, who had just entered the foggy day, clearly realized how naive his idea of "all roads lead to Rome".
After searching through the memories of the ancient dragon, most of them do not have this knowledge.
After all, for the too powerful Gu Long, they don’t like to come to such places. Even when they are still weak, they mostly choose to eat, sleep, and play, and do not run around like a problem child like a problematic child.
If it is an ordinary dragon life, it would be quite boring in the eyes of mortals.
First, he evades, and when he is in estrus, he will develop various estruses, and then lays a dragon egg. After the estrus period is almost over, he will lie in his nest. All food, clothing, housing and transportation are provided by the servants, and he just needs to lie down.
I believe that it is not just myself, but all those who enter this fog will encounter problems like theirs now.
As a lost city, the land that has been abandoned for no time has existed, so the map does not exist at all.
"It seems that it's time to find a qualified guide..."
Bru thought to himself, and then he flew with Krisanna again.
In this fog, if you want to find Bahamut's location in the capital, you can only rely on the residents of this land.
After three days of flight, Bru and others finally found an abandoned town.
The capital of the Bartulasi Empire was once prosperous, and there were more than one million people living in it alone.
Of course, such a large population will not rely on self-sufficiency, but will require a large number of surrounding towns to provide food, daily necessities, etc.
And this town is probably one of them.
But of course no living people live here now. Most of the living creatures here are evil and werewolf monsters or undead creatures, or small insects and animals such as jackals, rats and cockroaches.
Bru and others carefully entered the town. The windows of the houses on both sides of the street were dark. Skeletons and zombies wandering inside would look at them from time to time, and then roared and wanted to walk out of the house to attack.
However, when these low-level undead creatures walked out of the house, they found that the creatures that exuded the aura of living had gone far away, and they had no intelligence and returned to their original place.
Macaria looked around and said with a little sigh, "The war between the Bartulasi Empire and the Akhosia Empire caused such great damage... We have been flying for so long and have just arrived at the city around the capital."
"If the rumors are true and Demogorgen was really summoned back then, then this little destruction is just a slight meaning."
Having seen a small part of Tiamat's power, he was instantly killed by the astral projection of Gracia, let Bru know that many powers that seem incredible to mortals are not worth mentioning in front of gods and many evil powers.
It's like a floating city, which sounds incredible, but I really think that you can fight against the gods with something like that. It's like holding a bow and arrow to hit the Gatling machine gun.
Suddenly, a trace of alert flashed in Macaria's eyes. She stretched out her hand and touched Bru under her, and then whispered to him, "There is someone in front of you."
"Man?" Bru was stunned for a moment. Although he knew that many adventurers or Bahamut's believers had entered this fog, he had never encountered a living person after so many days.
Macaria nodded and said, "Yes, I heard the sound, they seemed to be inside the building in front."
"Then did they find you?" Krisanna asked, turning her head.
"I don't know, why don't you ask them?"
Regarding Crisanna's problem, Macaria also spread her hands, saying that she was not clear about it.
After all, she has no practical experience and just relies on her own professional qualities to make judgments.
"... Are living people? Let's first figure out their number and purpose."
Bruce thought for a while and whispered.
As his words fell, his body also deformed.
Macaria quickly jumped aside, and soon Bru turned into a human form.
"In these places, it's more convenient to use this look, Krisanna."
Krisanna looked at her body that was larger than some of the houses around her, and after a snort, she also turned into a human form.
...Sister, what the hell is your gorgeous evening dress?
After deformation, the clothes on your body are actually their own dragon scales.
So you can become any kind of clothes, as long as you like it.
But in a gloomy place, a beautiful woman in a gorgeous evening dress suddenly appeared. It would be strange if she didn’t!
"I said, sister, don't you think this outfit is more eye-catching than the dragon's form?"
Krisanna glanced at Bru and said lightly, "I think it looks pretty."
"It looks good. My sister has excellent genes... However, there may be a possibility of contacting the other party next. Can you slightly hide your dazzling appearance, be a little simpler, and look like an adventurer?"
After saying that, Bru raised the sword and shield in his hand, and then patted his armor.
After using dragon scales to transform into white armor, his current dress is a typical warrior dress.
Macaria smiled knowingly. She pulled her hood and mask up, and another ruby that unlocked and detected abnormal state appeared in her hand, and a thief suddenly appeared.
Oriana pointed to her oak staff and coughed twice as she pretended to be.
Because of the first recovery of a serious illness, it sounds like the same thing, and it is a frail and sickly mage.
As for Lux, after putting his wings away, his stern face even made people think that she was a paladin who guarded order.
When Krisanna saw everyone looking at her, after snorting coldly, her gorgeous evening dress also turned into leather armor in a transformation. After taking over the bow and long sword given by Bru, she became a ranger.
Although this ranger does not know how to track or hunt, he can't even have a ranger skill.
Macaria's ears moved, and she whispered to everyone, "Be careful, they should have discovered us, someone is coming... The other party's stealth and reconnaissance skills are much higher than mine, so they should have made a sound to remind me on purpose."
Bru thought about it and chose to continue moving forward.
Soon, they saw a dilapidated building remains.
Even if it is half vacant, this dilapidated building is still much larger than the ordinary houses on the street.
At the entrance of the building, two rangers were watching them.
One is a human ranger. At this time, like Oriana, he was holding a long sword in his hand and watching them with a warning.
The other one is the Halfling Ranger, who is much shorter than his companion, holding a short sword in his hand.
After the human ranger looked at Bru and his group carefully, a sharp light appeared in his eyes. When he saw that there were two Tifflins among the five people, he frowned and showed a solemn expression on his face.
Holding his hand against his mouth, the human ranger let out a sharp whistle.
Soon, a minstrel walked out of the dilapidated building. He was a handsome man in his forties, with mature eyes and a kind smile.
He met Bru and others at the first time, but his expression did not change much.
He waved to Bru and others and said, "Hello, I am Troy, the leader of the Burning Blade Adventure Group."
"Mr. Troy, hello, we're just passing by here. Please ignore us, we'll leave soon."
Bru nodded, but he did not report his name and had no interest in these people at all.
When he saw Bru without saying anything, Troy was not angry. When he met strangers outside, this reaction was very normal.
"Okay, I hope Bahamut can shelter you and make you have a smooth journey."
Do you believe in Bahamut’s minstrel?
There are really few people in humans. Generally speaking, paladins, dragon descendants and metal dragons become believers of Bahamut.
But praying to Bahamut is useless. Bahamut should not like him too much. After all, the artifact he made was to kill his nominal allies.
Bru also knew that the people of the Burning Blade should be composed of people with similar camps, and they are probably all people who believe in Bahamut or the Good God.
To be continued...
