Chapter 179 29. Ordinary team building.
The team continued to send out the next day. It was an uneventful day. Nothing happened to Darkus. However, he encountered another dark rider from Hagrid Graves. , obviously chasing Malus, but they still held up their flags and communicated as usual.
After camping at night and having dinner, the tent turned into a storytelling session. But this time, they were replaced by Ramanuor and Kewell. They told what happened during Maranur Haksiya's trial and why they put it aside for half a year and delayed their return. This What happened again in half a year? Obviously, what he told this time was different from what he had described to Darkus a long time ago. The truth in the story was full of water and nonsense, and it was also a bit exaggerated and ridiculous. It seemed Like all kinds of coincidences coming together. He said there vividly that Cowell was still doing narration and patching, but no one would expose it. Anyway, he just listened and had fun to pass the time.
On the third night, it was replaced by Ernst (the book friend's supporting role). This is a child of the Hell Calamity family. He is a plundering ship captain who is proficient in navigation, command and combat. The most bizarre one is Haksier. During the trial, he was attacked by Asul's Eagle Ship. After being defeated, he fell into the ice sea and successfully survived by relying on his will to survive and his skills.
However, Darkos did not believe it easily, because he knew that there were unknown secrets behind the outrageous things, and maybe the sea god Marcelan had something to do with it.
This time, Ernst was not asked to go to sea with Dulias, but came to Nagarund to gain some experience and improve his qualifications. He would definitely not talk about surviving after crashing into the sea. Most of what he told was about sailing and fighting. He also mentioned that he robbed an Asur eagle ship in the Dread Sea. At first, he thought he had made a fortune, but it turned out that It's a boatload of spices. But he did make a fortune, because not only the Assur dignitaries consumed these luxurious spices, but the Druchi dignitaries also consumed them.
The stories told by the sorceresses are generally conservative. They are basically about twelve cruel trials, how to hunt down the target, fight wits and courage with the target, and successfully complete the task.
The same is true for Alyssa. She is not brave enough to tell the magical stories she experienced in the continent of Lustria. After all, some stories must not be told. And these stories are also a bit bizarre. First, the soul floated over the Lustria continent. When the soul was about to disappear, it was saved by a magical being. Obtaining a strange egg and various magical magic items, especially the extremely dangerous and terrifying black cube, being taught how to control the wind of magic by a magical being, communicating with the magical skink and competing to control the wind of Gurzhi, these things are casual Every item you pick out is magical, how can you say that? How can this be said?
Colonia (a book friend) talked about her magical duel with the Naga Snake Man in Kurish. After half a year of observation, Darkos discovered that his sister was far from being as simple as she seemed. He is like a fun-loving person, and he is very good at using his beautiful and quiet appearance to create an innocent and non-threatening image, and uses his clever acting skills to create the most appropriate image in front of different objects. He is usually reserved and quiet, with cold rationality, and carefully hides himself. Of course, this has a prerequisite. As long as he doesn't talk about curses, he can talk about anything.
Drusala cautiously told some stories about her time in Grond, and managed to deal with it reluctantly. In view of her identity and Darkus's attitude, the dignitaries also responded and cooperated with her, saying that it was wonderful.
Franais had nothing to say, he could only talk about his White Lion Trial, but he couldn't talk about what happened in the continent of Lustria or taking his brother and sister to kill the manic man who almost turned into a madman. Uncle? Although the dignitaries of Krakarond heard it once, they were still amazed when they heard it again because he first defeated the White Lion and then faced off against the White Lion Guard he encountered. These dignitaries knew the weight of the White Lion Guard of Charis. , that is the existence that protects the false king. It is the best heavy infantry of Asul. It is used as a reserve team and stud when the battle is critical. It is not as useless as a certain game shows.
Especially Dorian, he thought this was a bit outrageous in itself, because the Druchi dignitaries usually only had Harksier adult trials. Although he pointed out that specific families also have some strange or magical trials and inheritances, he could only attribute the White Lion Trial to the glorious tradition of the Takaia family, and believed that these powerful people in Krakalond were indeed a bit brave. Because as far as he knows, adult trials usually go to the old world. This old world usually refers to Bretonnia, which is soft, rich, and most importantly, easy to bully. If it's really difficult, you can still run away. There are very few people who know Ulthuan. Just getting through the magical fog and murderous reefs in Ulthuan is a problem. And then these people went to Ulthuan specifically and escaped unscathed. You know, that is Darkus's trial. At that time, Darkus was only sixteen years old and had just come of age. What he heard from Ren was even more outrageous, and he thought it was comparable to his accident with the willow tree witch.
Renn also has nothing to talk about. He can only tell the story of his highlight moment, the story of falsely opening the city gate of Asul and eliciting the dispatch of the guards. Although there are many coincidences and luck, it does not hinder the excitement of the story.
Walter had nothing to say, so he could only tell the story of the embarrassment he encountered during the adult trial, how he was chased by the Bretonnian Saint and fled in disgrace.
What is relatively exciting is the story of the veteran adventurer Genevieve, especially the journey from Arabi to Cathay. It is full of ups and downs, fascinating, and has the feel of a tavern bard.
The stories of the past few nights will come down. Some of them are a bit empty and watery, some are so lifelike that they seem to be immersed in the scene, and some sound extremely outrageous. But they generally have one thing in common, that is, these Druchi dignitaries and women Warlocks all have their own secrets and hidden sides, and they try their best to protect these secrets. Darkus always felt that there was another story behind Dorian's story, and it might have something to do with this trip into the mountains. After all, Dorian came out of the Shadow Tribe intact, instead of missing legs or arms.
The team finally arrived at the foot of the mountain entering the dangerous peaks. The dangerous peaks have a harsh environment and cold climate. They are an endless mountain range filled with various peaks. In the cold winter of Naggaroth, these towering peaks are even more extreme, cold and harsh. The temperature is generally tens of degrees below zero, and there are also natural obstacles such as snow and glaciers. Under such conditions, mountaineers need to have sufficient skills and experience to ensure their own safety, and there are natural disasters such as blizzards and avalanches. In addition to the extreme natural environment, the dangerous peaks also hide a variety of mysterious and fantastic creatures and scenes. Between these peaks and valleys, there are dark caves and deep canyons, inhabited by various mysterious and chaotic creatures, such as hydras, manticores, chimeras, harpies, Medusas, etc. There are countless giant wolves.
Darkus felt like he was lacking oxygen just by looking up inside, and the team happened to see an avalanche scene at this time.
Vast white snow covered the ridges and slopes of a mountain peak. Suddenly, there was a rumbling sound, which was the sound made by the avalanche rolling down. The sound was getting louder and closer. Not to mention Drucci and Genevieve who were present, even these cold lizards and dark horses couldn't help but feel a strong sense of uneasiness. Strong air currents and flying snowflakes mixed with ice, stones and wood rolled down quickly, and everything was swept away.
Darkus seemed to be in an avalanche, unable to feel any gravity and unable to control his body. It seemed that the snow was drifting in the dark world, and the falling snow seemed to be swallowing him up and burying him. He closed his eyes and rubbed his temples in an attempt to block out the feeling. He suddenly thought of Malekith's curious eyes when he told him to go around the dangerous peaks. He didn't expect to find any legendary Lema beast. If he could find it, it would be an extremely outrageous thing. It would be even more outrageous than seeing the lost ancestral baby dragon on the first time he went to Storm Cliffs. But he has no regrets about coming here at the coldest moment. Destiny seems to be saying that there seems to be something related to him here. Even if there is nothing, it doesn't matter. Just treat it as a team building. Besides, tempering your will in the most difficult environment is also a way of improving yourself. To be a happy person, you must also be a strong happy person.
The surrounding dignitaries and animal trainers noticed Darkus's movements, glanced at him, and then quickly turned to look at Maranur, with a vague inquiry in their eyes.
Maranur knew what it meant, but he just shook his head slightly and said nothing. He was very measured. He didn't ask his brother if he was feeling uncomfortable at this time. He just looked at the avalanche and stood there waiting for him. Brother's order.
"Master, Kalonde Carl's team of animal trainers entered the mountains along this road not long ago!" Carlion, who was exploring the road at the front of the team, returned with the Disaster Walker chariot. He parked the chariot. At the outermost edge, he quickly ran to the downwind of the cold lizards and loudly reported to Darkus.
Darkus did not ask Kalien why he was so sure that he was the trainer of Kalonde Carl, because he knew that the wheels of the disasterwalker chariot in that city had the emblem of that city engraved on it, as a way to communicate with him. Krakalond phase distinction. There are many ways to say and explain the words. There is no saying that pressing the emblem on the ground is disrespectful. On the contrary, pressing the emblem on the ground is a pioneer, a first, an honor, and a way to lead the city of Karondekar to glory.
A soft thing landed on Darkus's shoulder armor. Its white feathers were smooth and flawless, looking particularly bright under the leaden sky and vast snowy landscape.
"On the hour, potatoes, French fries?" White Feather Crow stammered in Darkus' mind.
