Chapter 331 Arrival in Kurast

The golden light was warm and soft, reflecting off the sea surface and creating a sparkling wave. The melodious singing was delicate and moving, making every cell seem to be enjoying a bath of nectar. I was completely immersed in this blend of light and sound, and closed my eyes.

With my eyes, I experienced the feeling of soul sublimation, as if I was in the pure land of bliss, so peaceful and serene.

After a long time, when I opened my eyes again, I saw the blue sky, the white clouds, and the sparkling sea. The traces left by the storm in this peaceful world were only a few broken boats.

ships, and towering in front of us, huge icy waves more than ten meters high.

Suddenly there was a faint sound of footsteps below the deck, and our little mermaid princess who had made great achievements walked up from inside first, twisting her tail that shone golden in the sunlight, pounced on me, and jumped into my arms.

Inside, he smiled brightly at me, and his flailing golden tail occasionally fanned across my nose. There was no fishy smell at all, replaced by a strange fragrance.

"Ga-oh-ga-oh-"

Behind the little mermaid is the golden dead dog, with its two rabbit-long ears flapping, trying its best to imitate the mighty roar of a dinosaur, and its swaggering steps are as arrogant as a giant dragon, but as you can see

You see, it's just a Pekingese about a foot tall, a poor little bastard who was thrown into a spin by a mermaid a few sizes younger than him.

This dead dog passed me right past me and ran to the bow of the boat. It screamed loudly. When it saw that there was a "huge ice wall" in front of it blocking its sight, it couldn't help but bared its teeth and claws and pounced.

The momentum of going up and biting.

"Xiaofan, has the rain stopped?"

Finally, the sleepy little ghost came directly up from the float, rubbed her eyes and asked in a cute and confused manner. She was also the calmest one in the boat except the little mermaid, because she could float, and the sea and other things did not pose any threat to her at all.

, even if the worst happens and the ship sinks, I think the little ghost will at most carry me and float to a desert island to stage a Robinson Crusoe. As for the life and death of other unrelated people, she will not care.

"Yeah, stop."

I looked around and saw that the ship that had been damaged by the storm was riddled with holes. Not to mention the huge mast that had been swept away by the big waves. There were many holes in the deck alone. The whole ship maintained a delicate

It stays on the sea at an angle of inclination, no different from a dirty and tattered beggar.

Wait. Tilt?!!

No good, I quickly asked the little ghost to take the little mermaid back to the necklace, and then struggled to shake Ma Shifu down on the board of the boat. After a while, he woke up leisurely. As soon as he opened his eyes, he saw the blue sky.

sky, and wiped his eyes in disbelief.

"How long have I been asleep before the storm stopped?"

"Stop, but now is not the time to be happy." I saw the ecstatic expression on his face and poured a basin of cold water on him.

"Hurry up and wake up the other sailors and repair the ship, otherwise it will sink."

At this time, Ma Shifu was completely awake. He stood up quickly, spread his legs and stomped on the board a few times. Ma Shifu, who had countless times more experience than me, immediately understood our current situation, and his face couldn't help but change.

Changed.

"It doesn't matter. It's still too late to repair."

He said that there were still several days of sailing from the midway station in Kurast seaport. If the ship sank now, everyone would have to feed the fish.

With the combined efforts of the two of us, the sailors were woken up one by one. If they couldn't be woken up, it would be hard to wake them up even if they poured ice water on them. After understanding the situation, these sailors didn't have time to express their joy after the disaster.

, they immediately went inside the ship and started repairing it. Some sailors who were good at water even jumped into the sea and sank under the ship to do the work.

Some sailors went to the other two ships to wake up other sailors - Masif's fleet only had three ships in total. The one I was on was the three-masted main ship, and the other two were smaller. In the storm just now,

At that time, the sailors of the other two ships were very clever and hid behind the main ship after I set up the ice wave, so they were able to escape the disaster.

Even so, after the ship was completely repaired and the subsequent damage report was compiled, Masif still cried and knelt down, murmuring to the sea and praying, wishing those dead brothers to rest in peace - the main ship was damaged due to my

Help, so there were no casualties, but the other two auxiliary ships were not so lucky. A quarter of the 253 sailors inside - a full 52 sailors disappeared forever in the storm. These people had followed

Masif has been traveling all over the country for many years. It can be said that he is not a brother but is better than a brother. How can he not be sad?

Under the repairs of the sailors, the three shabby ships, covered with "patches", sailed forward unsteadily. Since all the masts were broken in the storm, they could no longer sail forward, so the sailing speed was faster than before.

It has been much slower. The journey of two or three days now takes about a week to arrive. If the fleet a day ago was still full of vigor and contented young people, then at this moment, these three ships are arranged in a zigzag shape under the sunset, like

The cargo ship moving slowly like a snail has become a hungry old man who has been wandering around to avoid famine.

Fortunately, the sea did not give the aging fleet any more tests. Six days later, we finally arrived at the last midway island in Kurast Harbor. The sailors on the small island pier looked at the three shabby ships.

The broken cargo ship appeared in sight, and everyone couldn't help but stop and watch. As soon as our ship arrived at the dock, some experienced sailors came up immediately to help us transfer the wounded on the ship. Those weak sailors were also carefully taken care of.

——This is the unspoken rule of sailors. No one knows what will happen in the unknown sea, so be kind to the brave men who have escaped from the shipwreck. Maybe one day, you will feel lucky for this unspoken rule.

There are captains that Masif knows here - they are all engaged in maritime trade, and they look up and down, and the prices have to be weighed against each other to avoid vicious competition. Most of the captains are connected, and they seem to be getting old.

The ten-year-old Masif kept comforting him, and everyone was taken care of enthusiastically. Except for me, an adventurer, there was no way, who could keep me alive? Moreover, the distinction between superiority and inferiority in this world is quite obvious, and everything is different.

When those sailors came up to them, they were misunderstood by the adventurers as having underestimated them and were scolded. Wouldn't they be asking for trouble?

Except for a few sailors who were in good condition and stayed to look after the ship, the other sailors had already left, and I followed behind the sailors. I pulled down my cloak and disappeared into the bustling crowd.

After resting on the island for two days, I found Masif, who had regained his composure, and compensated him for half of the goods he had lost as promised. He was not polite. After collecting them, he told me that the fleet might need

Stay on the island for at least a month. On the one hand, the three ships must undergo major renovations, and on the other hand, the lost sailors must be replaced. If I can't wait, he can introduce me to another fleet.

Staying in such a useless place for a month? Of course it wouldn't work. I agreed to Masif's suggestion without thinking. The next day, I met another captain of the fleet under his introduction.

, bid farewell to Masif's fleet that afternoon and embarked on the voyage again.

Half a month later, I finally crossed the Twin Seas and entered the inland river. The dense primeval forests on both sides replaced the vast sea. The humid and hot climate, colorful and unknown birds in the forest, and on the shore.

We were wandering around, looking at our wild beasts with green eyes, as well as the various predators lurking in the water, which made me fully appreciate the unique style.

The green grassland of Rogge Camp, the boundless desert of Lugaoin, the majestic waves of the Twin Seas, the forest ocean of Kurast Land, the steel giant city of Demon Fortress, and the ice and snow plateau of Harrogath, if other factors are not discussed,

This is like experiencing a world tour with different styles of the Dark Continent.

The day after a day of sailing on the inland river. Just as I was falling asleep on the bed, the whole ship suddenly shook slightly, and then stopped. Then there was the noise of the dock, and the sailors were shouting.

Cheers.

Have you arrived at Kraste? It should be. The sailors said that if nothing unexpected happens, we will arrive at the harbor of Kraste this afternoon. I jumped up from the bed and walked out of the cabin eagerly.

Immediately, I was hit by a moist and hot smell mixed with the smell of mud, which was almost suffocating. I squinted my eyes slightly and looked at the scenery in front of me.

Forests, swamps, lakes, cities.

This is my first impression of Kurast Harbor. Kane mentioned in his book that Kurast Harbor was built on a huge swamp, with platforms built with stones in the shallower areas.

, the Kurast people live on it, and the platforms are connected by wooden bridges. If the distance is far away, you can also choose to take a boat. When I saw this information, the first thing I thought of was a famous building in the world.

Water city - Venice.

Of course, Kurast is far less beautiful than Venice. The ugly black swamps, turbid rivers and dark green lakes make up all the colors here. If you have to connect the two, you can only say Kurast.

It is Venice with the unique atmosphere of darkness, confusion and blood of the dark world.

After bidding farewell to the fleet, I finally stepped onto the Kurast harbor. I felt quite excited. I looked around and saw some sailors and workers. I thought, I’d better leave quickly. I can’t experience it here.

How much Kurast style.

At the exit of the pier, you can choose two ways to visit. One is to move from the wooden bridge to the adjacent platform, and the other is to take a unique boat here. As long as you have money, you can go wherever you want.

Undoubtedly, the advantage of the first method is that it is free, while the second method is fast and convenient. Most importantly, it allows some people who have no sense of direction to rest easy without worrying about getting lost.

So, naturally, I chose the first option...

I bought a rough map of Kurast from the hawker at the dock. I stepped on the wooden bridge connecting the adjacent platforms and browsed the map. Oh, by the way, although this wooden bridge is very strong, it is not easy for tall barbarians and

Paladins, please pay special attention. You'd better put away your mighty armor and swords, otherwise...

Connected to the dock is the west area of ​​Kurast, also known as the trade area. The other three areas are the residential area and the training area, and the middle is an exclusive adventurer's paradise. This is exactly the same as Rogge

The distribution of the camps is similar, but the terrain here is far more complicated than that of Rogge Camp, because these platforms are built on raised swamps. Therefore, the distribution is irregular and is connected by large and small wooden bridges.

Compared with Lu Gaoyin's densely crisscrossed roads, the regular network structure of the city is a different kind of maze city, even more terrifying.

For example, the trade area where I am now consists of dozens of stone platforms. Most of these platforms have an area of ​​dozens of football fields. They are connected to each other to form a very complex terrain. Even if there are dozens of people living here,

The Kurast people sometimes accidentally take the wrong path. As for the residential area that is dozens of times larger than the trading area, it is even more terrifying.

Fortunately, I don't have to bother to memorize these terrifying routes. I just need to have a little taste of the customs here, and then memorize the distribution platforms in the central area. Uh, let me see, there are a total of 100 in the central adventurer area.

…two…three…four…eight…eleven. Eleven platforms, haha, it’s just eleven platforms, how can it be so rare to defeat me?

"..."

Sorry, I'm bragging. I'm really stumped...

I was looking at the map while walking, and before I knew it, I had come to a completely unfamiliar place. Oh, I'm sorry, I'm wrong again. There is no familiar place here at all, and it looks strange everywhere, but I'm sure.

I was still in the trade area, looking at the people and vendors going around, and I made this judgment.

When it comes to the tropical rainforest, the first thing that comes to mind is of course fruits. If you ask about the representative specialty of Kurast, it must be fruits. Transporting cheap fruits from here to Lugoin for sale is definitely a good idea.

Price, but the preservation of fruits is not easy. Whether to spend a lot of money to hire an ice mage to preserve the fruits, or to buy pickled dried fruits, is indeed a question worth considering. But these have nothing to do with me. Looking at the wide variety of prices

Cheap fruits, I think the little mermaid and the little ghost will be happy to eat them. As for the dead dog, it doesn’t even resist fruits. Well, it’s really a strange dog.

In addition, there are many kinds of jerky on the market, because in the forest, these resources are relatively abundant, and there are all kinds of strange things. Oh, this says crocodile jerky, I am not interested, and there are pythons.

Meat, lizard meat, King Kong meat, Godzilla meat, white devil meat... ignore them all.

Hey, I seemed to have seen something strange just now. Is it my imagination?

Wait, what is this? Red ant meat... has aphrodisiac properties... the best gift for your husband..., holy shit, this works too?
To be continued...
