The southeastern part of the basharan Empire should be hills, or relatively humid plains.
Because Sean felt that there had been a wet feeling in the air since he entered the mountains, which made people feel very uncomfortable
The departure time of the team is the third day after the hotel heard the news. During this time, they are preparing corresponding props. In addition to the potions of alchemist Alphonse, others also need to prepare props suitable for themselves.
For example, raster needs to prepare special arrows, while Jonathan needs to prepare more dry food... As for Sean, he originally wanted to buy some areas in this area, but he couldn''t find them. What he reluctantly found is some large-scale maps, which only show the route.
But if the route is, the people in the mercenary team are their own, so it doesn''t have much effect. So Sean chose to buy some gunpowder props, hoping not to use them.
"The air here is very uncomfortable."
"Well, did it ever happen around here?" Sean asked.
The party has entered the mountain forest. Although the southeast area is not mountainous, there are still a lot of vegetation. There is not as much fog in this area as in the hotel rumors, but the feeling of moisture in the air makes people breathe, neck uncomfortable and dry cough.
"I seldom came to this place before, but it is said that there are swamps in this area..." Jonathan said.
"That''s right. A long time ago, there were many rivers in the southeast, but many of them were forcibly cut off when the cities in Tacoma were established. However, the climate in this area is humid, and the sediment rivers will not dry up for a long time. Even when the rainy season comes, lakes are formed, and gradually swamps are associated." the speaker is alvons.
I didn''t expect that the alchemist knew so much about geography!
"Have you been here before?"
"Yes."
Sean obviously saw the other party''s state of [hesitation!], but he didn''t lie, so he should not have been here, but this hesitation may have learned something from somewhere else.
The team continued to move forward. Although the air was uncomfortable at the throat, there was no problem wrapping a towel.
"Are we taking the right route?" I haven''t seen any other mercenary team except the people in the team since I entered.
Sometimes Sean thinks the mercenary teams are very strange. They all get together at night, but when he travels, he deliberately avoids the routes of other teams. He remembers that several other mercenary teams followed when he set out from the hotel.
But slowly, the team was pulled longer and longer. Up to now, there is no one behind.
"Those other people may have gone from other places. There are roads everywhere in the mountains and forests. The mercenaries don''t like to walk with other teams, so they may have deliberately avoided us." Jonathan said naturally. It seems that this phenomenon is very common among mercenaries.
Walking deep, I gradually felt that the sun couldn''t shoot into the woods
And a hint gradually appeared in Sean''s vision:
[day: sunny, 6:35:30]
But the fog gradually drifting in the air shows "miasma".
"Wait." Sean raised his hand to stop the crowd.
"What''s the matter? Master Sean."
"These mists may make an impression on the body. We all put on masks. Do you have any medicine to deal with, Mr. alvons?" Sean suddenly turned to the alchemist and said.
"Yes, but..."
"Everyone should bring a bottle. If you feel uncomfortable, drink it in advance. Don''t regret the potion," Sean stressed.
"What''s wrong with the fog? Master Sean."
"A kind of miasma, which may be bad for your health."
There is no saying of miasma in this world, and the display does not directly say that it is [poisonous gas], but the gas produced by some corrupt animals and plants is harmful, but it is not as direct as poisonous gas.
Of course, people will not doubt Sean''s judgment as a "silver bounty hunter" at the moment. They each take a bottle of potion and move on.
Gudong~
A sound of something falling into the water.
The vegetation in the forest grows very high and the vision is not very good, so even if they hear the sound, they still don''t see where there is water.
"We should take the main road. Why do we meet places with water?" someone in the team suddenly asked.
"Maybe it''s because of the heavy rain some time ago. It''s often said that it rains the most in this area?" Jonathan retorted.
After all, he was the guide, unwilling to admit that he had taken the wrong way, and Sean had seen the map in each other''s hands. The route they took was not wrong... But the road seemed too deserted.
Not all the roads in this world are made of exquisite stones. There are stone roads only before several big cities close to each other, and many of them are simply excavated mountain roads.
Just like our own Tyler mia''an Town, Tyler mia''an was a forest farm provided by timber a long time ago, so there was a mountain road. Later, more people settled slowly and became a town. However, if there was a long distance, even the excavation process was left, it was a place where people stepped on.
For example, where you have to go through the forest, the place where travelers or caravans go the most is the road!
No one does maintenance, and an empire can''t afford such a large-scale road maintenance... So sometimes Sean even feels that the road is blocked, which may be one of the reasons why many people don''t want to leave their hometown.
Most people in a region are active in the cities in that region, and rarely cross the region to go far away.
"But it shouldn''t be. Even if no one has walked for half a month, so many plants won''t grow suddenly. It''s abnormal," said raster behind her.
"If it''s normal, we don''t need to send so many people... It seems that the road behind us needs to take the waterway." Sean also stopped while talking, just stepping on the water.
At this time, the roads in front of everyone were submerged by the shallow water... It didn''t look very deep, because you could see the weeds and branches in the water.
Sean wanted to prepare all kinds of things, but he didn''t expect to prepare himself a pair of water boots. It is estimated that he will wade in the water behind
"Look around for some longer branches to make walking sticks. We all follow each other''s footprints and don''t step on unknown places." Jonathan still knows something about wild survival and asked several people to take long handled wooden sticks. If they stepped on them, they can at least stretch out the sticks and hand them to the people around them for help.
……………………
The six people walked carefully in the mud pool. The cool smell in the air was still very heavy, and they saw a smell of corruption.
It''s cold when your feet are over the water. If you step on the vegetation, you will suddenly sink a little, but it''s not fast... If you lift your feet faster, you''ll pass at once, but the road environment makes people somewhat unhappy.
I feel that this trip to Tacoma area is very bad, but I have come here. I''m sure I don''t want to go back.
I can only go on. I hope I can get out of the wetland quickly.
The fog in sight is getting heavier and heavier
"Are you listening?" said Lawrence, who was walking at the back.
