Chapter 47 Beacon Fire Pass
By noon, the scorching sun in midsummer was already standing in the center of the sky on Endres. Under the vicious sunlight, Li Yan's team was still walking on the sidewalk among the woods in the outskirts of Pompeii.
The adventurers who were originally noisy in the morning no longer had any more talk, and the entire team was already silent, leaving only scattered steps. The rolling wheels brought dust to the earthy yellow road opened in the forest, making continuous noisy sounds.
For pure warrior professions, if they do not have the help of magic items, it is not bad to rely on their own strength to regulate the temperature in their bodies, but at least they must reach the level of level 5 where fighting energy is generated in the body of the profession.
Of course, there are also people who have been trained to be more cold-resistant and heat-resistant than ordinary people, but that only enhances the body's resistance and does not really regulate their own temperature.
There is no doubt that most people in the walking team cannot reach the level of a level 5 professional.
In Li Yan's opinion, the black-haired boy Robin is not even as strong as a level 2 professional. He doesn't have to look up and know the boy's discomfort based on the panting sounds beside him. However, Li Yan did not secretly cast spells to help. Only with the heart of a strong man can he embark on the path of a strong man.
"Everyone hold on for a while! The Beacon Pass is ahead. At our speed, after passing the Beacon Pass, you can reach the Hornberg River if you don't have an hourglass (1 hour on Earth). There, we can rest well!" Just as the adventurers began to curse the ghost weather in a low voice, the Knight Lofield, who was riding the tall wildebeest, walked in the front suddenly turned around and shouted.
The Knight's voice was injected into the hearts of everyone in the team like a heart-warming agent, and the adventurers looked up one after another.
Sure enough, at some point, two towering wooden towers had appeared in front of the road, arranged on both sides of the road, forming a high gate. A low wooden house was built near the woods on the left side of the wooden tower. The wooden house door was facing the road. The perspective relationship and length were indeterminate. It was probably for the sentry resident here.
There will be one such pass, east, south, west, and north, at each intersection leading to Pompeii, mainly used to monitor the enemy situation. At the same time, with the pass as a node, a sentry tower is set up every 500 meters. Looking from above, you will find that these passes and sentry towers are connected to the entire outskirts of Pompeii.
There is also a wallless ceiling at the top of the pass and the tower, and there are bitter apricot grass like dried kelp. This unique plant that any plant-eating animal ignores is the best beacon signal generator. It only requires a leaf to burn wolf smoke nearly 10 meters high.
It should be mentioned that the beacon pass is specially used as an early warning, so no one is allowed to rest or stay within five kilometers inside and outside the pass.
At this time, two sentries wearing iron helmets and mail were standing on both sides of the pass with spears watching the team walking towards them. There were faint figures on the tops of the towering wooden towers on both sides. It was probably the sentry specializing in igniting signals.
After a while, the leader of Lofield was almost at the pass, and the sentry on the left walked towards the team. It was probably affected by the hot weather, the sentry's face was full of impatientness with sweat stains, and frowned and pointed to the roadside on the left: "Hurry, hurry up, walk here one by one!"
Although he was a little jealous of the Sentinel's request, the Sentinel was responsible for the early warning of the suburbs of Pompeii, and the requests made did not exceed the scope of his authority. Everyone followed the arrangement and started walking one by one.
The soldiers on the right kept staring at the team with spears, not letting go of everyone who walked by. I don’t know if it was an illusion, but when Li Yan walked by, the soldiers on the right seemed to frown in the light of his eyes.
Maybe it was because my bard dress was quite unique, and I didn't care too much about it even though I thought about it. It was impossible for a wise man to make everything he encountered.
Although I walked past one by one, the speed of passage was still quite fast. In less than 5 minutes, the entire team had already walked out of the pass and advanced towards the Hornberg River.
Fenghuo Pass, until Li Yan's team was away and could only vaguely see the last figure. The soldier standing on the left side of the road holding a spear and looking serious, turned his head and looked around and ran towards the sentry opposite.
"Keta, have you figured it out?"
Hearing the question of the sentry running over, Keta, who was also standing at attention on the right hand holding a spear, relaxed and nodded, whispering: "Of course I figured it out, I don't have any memory."
"Stop talking nonsense, make it clear. This ghost weather is so hot." The sentry running over took off his helmet and looked impatient. "I have to run for a while later, I'm unlucky."
"Hey, you won't feel unlucky when you think of gold coins." Keta chuckled, "There were 59 people in the carriage, 8 knights, 30 private soldiers in the team just now, and the remaining 21 should be hired depending on the outfit. As for combat power, the two knights at the front and on the carriage should have level 3 or above. If you hire a mercenary, except for a thief who cannot determine the level, the others should not reach level 3. Someone is strange."
"It's strange?" The sentry opposite kept slapping his hands and staring at Keta with his eyes slanted.
"It's the bard." As he said, Keta lowered his head and took something out from his left chest inside the mail.
This is an old disc. The silver and yellow surfaces are covered with rust stains. The front and back sides are concave or convex to form mysterious runes, and there is a colorless crystal-like stone in the middle. It seems that because the owner does not care about it, there is an obvious fold line on one side of the disc that is incompatible, which is the trace left by being bent and equalized.
Raising the disc in his hand, Keta said, "It was this magic element detector, which was a little hot as the bard walked by."
"Tsk, what did you think it is?" Looking at the disc in Keta's hand, the sentry opposite shook his head and sneered, "The magic element detector has to be replaced with the resonance crystal every year. You have been picking up this ragged thing for almost two years, so it's all right!
Damn, you said last time you had a fever: This thing reacted violently, something must have appeared in the woods. I woke up a group of brothers to check in the rain. As a result, I didn’t find anything except a strange-looking broken stone. I was scolded and washed their socks for three days. Don’t use this thing to fool me!”
"Hehe, don't get angry, I'm washing your socks with you too." Keta replied with a embarrassed smile: "But to be honest, that stone is really a bit like a magic stone, and it's a pity to throw it away."
"Fart, there was no response in the identification of the hair in the strange object store." After waving his hand, the sentry said, "I'll leave first. If the news is late, the gold coins will be reduced a lot."
