"A fellow traveler? I wonder if I can see Drizzt again. If I have him by my side, I won't have to worry about insufficient firepower."
I don't know if Lu Jian has adapted to such a journey in a foreign land, but Lu Jian can even think in the spinning world.
The next moment, a low, beast-like howl filled Lu Tiao's eardrums. Amidst the deafening noise, Lu Tiao felt a chill.
He found himself lying on the silver sand. Looking up, Lu Jian saw the bright starry sky.
The starry sky in this foreign land is far more brilliant than on earth.
Lu Tran's first reaction was this.
The starry sky is distorted, forming the cold and indifferent text of the system.
【wilderness】
[Three years of Pericles, the stars are visible]
[In a world that has experienced disasters, even living is a luxury. The law of the wilderness is survival, the weak and the strong, survival of the fittest. On this crazy land, humans and beasts dance together]
[Some people find miracles in the wasteland, some people lose their lives in the wasteland, some people encounter despair in the wasteland, some people are lost in the wasteland and can never leave]
【Try your best to survive.】
[Task requirement: Enter the nameless city]
[Task requirement: Obtain the treasure of the nameless city]
[Difficulty: Erosion]
[Number of travelers: 1]
He looked around.
On the left, there was also a person lying down. It was a woman. She was wearing a gray cloak. She couldn't see what was under the cloak. She glanced in front of her and then at Lu Jian beside her.
"Desert? This foreign land looks so desolate."
The woman murmured to herself. Although the language she used could not be understood by Lu Tuan, the pronunciation and rhythm made him feel familiar, as if he had heard it somewhere before.
"A fellow traveler?"
Lu Tan then asked.
Travelers are basically teammates, and Lu Tan is not the kind of guy who likes to hide his identity and play role-playing games. Therefore, when he heard the word "foreign land" come out of the other party's mouth, he immediately asked in a low voice.
"...You, are you also the Chosen One?"
The woman seemed a little surprised and raised her eyebrows. At this time, Lu Jian realized that her hair was light blond and slightly curly, and her eyes were green and clear. She looked like a foreigner.
"Um...wait, is this your first time meeting a fellow traveler?"
Lu Tan quickly noticed this from the woman's reaction.
Unexpectedly, he was still a newbie led by Drizzt last time, but this time he has already started to lead new people.
Well, according to the laws in novels, it is easy to make new people fall asleep after bringing them in.
Lu Tan decided to protect this newbie and show his dignity as a senior.
"Travelers... So, that magic indeed reminded me of the word "travelers."
The woman was thoughtful and her expression immediately became serious.
"Hello, traveler, I am Shia Quelreth, from the Gray Tower, and I am a quasi-traveler."
She spoke with a sense of power. If she hadn't lowered her voice, Lu Tan would definitely have said, "Okay, very energetic."
"Grey Tower...the Kingdom of Darkness?"
Lu Tan recalled the information from the foreign land.
The Gray Tower is an official institution of the Kingdom of Darkness that trains mages. So, this woman named Shia is a mage?
Lu Tan became interested.
"Well, in the Quiet Place, the world I live in is indeed called this."
Shia nodded slightly. She gave off a very positive impression, and her words and expressions were all serious, just like the disciplinary committee member of the class.
"What is a quasi-agent?"
Lu Tan decided to take this opportunity to get to know the Kingdom of Darkness well.
"Well, agents are mages sent by the Gray Tower to various parts of the world. They have extremely strong autonomy. I have not officially become an agent yet, and I am still traveling with the teacher."
The blond woman explained generously.
"So, you can use magic?"
Lu Jian asked.
"Of course, my grades in Gray Tower Academy are among the best. Except for a guy whose head is glued to books, I dare say that no one can be better than me!"
Having said this, Siya suddenly became more energetic.
"Then can you make bread?"
Lu Tan asked something that he had always been curious about.
If magic can create food, then after the food is eaten and the magic effect is removed, will people feel hungry or not?
"?"
Shia was stunned and didn't know how to answer.
"The art of creating food is a very specialized spell. I haven't mastered it yet."
"I see."
Lu Tan was not obsessed. Although he didn't understand why making bread was an advanced spell, since the other party said he couldn't, he wouldn't worry about it.
The two of them were still whispering when a muffled sound suddenly came from the front.
Lu Tiao looked over.
In the desolate and silent desert, an explosion occurred.
Some kind of explosive caused the sand and dust to rise high. At the same time, on the dune, three people surrounded a deep shadow and seemed to be fighting.
Lu Tan concentrated his attention for a moment and saw a huge insect in the dust and under the starlight.
The insect looked like a large praying mantis, but its limbs were slender and its chitinous shell was shiny black. It had huge pincers, sharp forelimbs, and its body was full of edges and corners, exuding a dangerous aura.
There was a blasted hole next to the insect. It seemed that the explosion had induced the insect to come out of its nest.
While Lu Tiao was still thinking about whether to help, he saw the arm of one of the people being rounded up suddenly swelled up.
The hand quickly became thicker than the man, like a giant's arm attached to a human body, which was extremely uncoordinated.
The next moment, the man's arm directly grabbed the big claw of the insect.
The powerful game made people's blood surge. Immediately, the man's other hand also swelled, and he grabbed the insect with both hands, making it unable to escape.
At the same time, another person next to him held a torch in his left hand and raised his right hand high.
Lu Jian saw the flame flowing from the torch, like a long snake, to the palm of his right hand.
Immediately, the man threw his right hand, and blazing fire flew out, surrounding the tail of the insect, burning the insect, and causing the monster to let out some kind of deep howl.
The last person was just standing there, but Lu Jian could sense that something had changed between him and the insect.
Soon, the insect's wailing stopped. It seemed to be hypnotized, losing the power to resist, and its whole body fell down. Then, with the force of the two huge human hands, the insect's head was ripped off with a click.
, the turquoise viscous liquid splashed onto the sand, quickly turning the silver sand into a darker color.
"You two, what are you still looking at? Come and help!"
The man holding the torch in his hand shouted in the direction of Lu Tiao. The light of the fire flickered and reflected on the gravel, giving it a hazy luster.
"good."
Lu Tan quickly integrated into the role. He stood up and glanced at Shia, who was still hesitating.
"It's not a big problem. The mission of Quiet Place will give us a suitable identity and no one will be suspicious."
He guessed that the woman named Shia might have only experienced one or two missions and was not very familiar with the rules here.
"I see."
Shia stood up from the sand pit, her cloak fluttering with her movements, allowing Lu Tuan to see the clothes under the gray cloak.
With the jet black steel gauntlets, breastplate, skirt armor, and boots, Shia looked like a heavily armored knight in the Middle Ages, with her whole body covered in armor.
"...What kind of mage did you just say you were?"
Lu Tan felt that there must be a misunderstanding between him and Shia about the definition of a mage.
