Celestial Mage

Chapter 478 Meeting Relatives in a Foreign Land (33)

A day later, Robinson got ready and took Rosen into the Yunmeng Swamp.

The great adventurer wore a thick oil-proof leather jacket, a sun hat on his head, a pair of thigh-high hoop iron rain boots, and carried a huge package on his back.

Rosen followed behind him relaxedly: "Robinson, aren't you hot?"

"It's hot, but it's better than dying."

Robinson raised his hand to wipe the sweat from his forehead and explained carefully.

"There are countless poisonous insects and weeds growing in Yunmeng Swamp, and the indigenous tribes used these poisonous insects and weeds to refine more ferocious toxins."

"Being bitten once, mortals will die immediately. Although we may not die, we will definitely be seriously injured, which will greatly affect our actions."

"Once the movement is restricted in a ghost place like a swamp, there will be piles of subsequent troubles, and it will be over if you are not careful."

As soon as he finished speaking, he found that the short-sleeved shirt on Rosen's body grew accordingly, and turned into a long-sleeved long-sleeved jacket with boots and a pair of gloves.

He was startled, and suddenly thought of a possibility.

"Sir, are you a great one?"

"Yes."

"Oh~ Then our trip should be much safer, but we still can't take it lightly, because there are many toxins that are specifically aimed at the soul, and if they stick to your mana, they can pollute the soul."

Rosen clicked his tongue in amazement: "Introduction?"

"For example, the poisonous tree sap of the golden dryad can turn a mortal into its servant with just one drop, and the superhuman will become insane and lose their combat effectiveness after being hit by it, thus becoming the food of the golden dryad."

"Another example is the wood elf's emerald arrow poison. If you get hit by that thing, you will fall into a dream and sleep all the time. Unless the wood elf wakes you up with a special antidote, you will sleep until you die."

"But the most poisonous one is the hundred-poison hookah made by the priest of the flower demon with 128 kinds of poisonous insects."

"The smoke doesn't have any smell. It looks like swamp water vapor. When you walk into it, you don't feel poisoned at all. Just walking, you suddenly lose consciousness and let others slaughter you."

While speaking, a painful memory flashed across Robinson's face.

Rosen's heart moved slightly, and he asked, "You have been poisoned before."

Robinson nodded: "I was hit once and almost died. I tried my best to escape."

Rosen felt that there was a story in it, but seeing that Robinson didn't seem to want to talk about it, he didn't ask any more questions.

At the same time, I felt that Yunmeng Swamp was really dangerous.

Robinson's words changed, and instead he comforted Rosen.

"Sir, to be honest, there are still many exaggerated elements in the efficacy of these poisons, mainly to scare the enemy."

"But as long as you're careful not to let the toxins get into your body, then there's nothing to be afraid of."

Rosen still felt quite dangerous, but he didn't feel too scared.

Because he activated the anti-poison blood of the stone dwarves, he has a particularly high resistance to toxins, especially the unique biological toxins in Yunmeng Swamp.

After a while, the two went deep into Yunmeng Swamp.

The weather is getting hotter and hotter. As far as the eye can see, there is an endless swamp wetland, covered with thick aquatic plants as tall as at least two people, and some crooked-neck trees with unknown names grow sparsely.

From time to time, you can encounter a large section of cloud connected to the ground, ranging from large to small, ranging from tens of semimeters in small areas to tens of lami in large areas, to as high as one lami.

If it is all white and ordinary water vapor, it will be fine, and many of them are colored.

Dark green, scarlet, and deep purple make people panic when they look at it.

Robinson held a compass in his hand to find the direction, reminding him as he walked.

"Sir, you have to be careful on your feet. Some water snakes are very poisonous. If you get bitten, the supernatural person has to cut the meat off quickly, otherwise it will be uncomfortable for half a month."

Rosen nodded: "What's so special about those colorful fogs?"

"These fogs come from the decay of poisonous vegetation and animal carcasses."

"Generally speaking, the green mist rots the lungs, and it's not a big problem if you don't breathe it in. The skin of the red mist will rot if it sticks to it, and you will die if you inhale it. Purple mist is the most poisonous, and it's not safe if it's separated by a hundred semimeters."

"In short, you must go around, if you can't get around, you have to retreat."

Rosen also felt a little apprehensive, thinking that Yunmeng Swamp was really a dangerous place, no wonder the God of Gold would leave such a large swamp country.

In this way, we went around in the swamp and went southward for about 100 Lami. There was no danger all the way, and there was a slightly higher and slightly dry highland in front of us.

Many simple houses can be seen on the high ground. The walls of the houses are made of green mud and grass stems, and the roofs are made of hay.

Small, shirtless humanoids walk around the complex.

The height of these small people is generally not more than 1.3 meters, with big ears, strange facial features, blue skin, and some unique black patterns can be seen.

Because of the heat, or perhaps because of poverty, both men and women wore only an apron made of hay, and then walked around barefoot and open-minded.

In addition to these little blue-skinned people, occasionally some unique individuals can be seen.

Robinson hid behind the grass and introduced carefully.

"That's the water goblin, the race with the largest number in Yunmeng Swamp, estimated to be in the tens of millions. Villages and towns like this are everywhere in the swamp."

"These goblins are very greedy and courageous, and dare to do anything, so they are also the main partners of our southern adventurers."

"And here is the goblin town closest to the southern border, called Thorn Town, and it is a favorite neutral stronghold for adventurers."

He pointed to those unique individuals and introduced them one by one.

"Look at that, the woman with a pair of swan wings and a wreath on her head is the so-called flower demon."

"Don't look at them not bad in appearance, but they have very bad tempers and their voices are very sharp. Shouting at you can deafen your ears."

Rosen looked carefully, a little puzzled: "They seem to have no clothes on, aren't they shy?"

Robinson asked: "If a race is all women, why are they shy?"

Then he explained: "One is that the weather is hot, and the other is that the flower demon is a matriarchal race just like the mermaid. Do you know mermaids, sir?"

"of course I know."

Robinson continued.

"Look at that, the tall and big tree that can walk is the tree demon. This thing is very powerful and can release poison, but it has a disadvantage, that is, it is particularly afraid of fire."

"How's your temper?"

"As long as you don't provoke them, it's still pretty gentle."

"And that one, it's called a centaur, a combination of a human's upper body and a horse's lower body."

Robinson looked teasing, but also a little apprehensive.

"This race runs very fast and can shoot arrows. If they are targeted by them, it's okay to beat them, but if they can't beat them, they can only die."

"In addition, this race is a patriarchal race. There are only men and no women. They like to go out and plunder women from other tribes to give them children."

Luo Sen was stunned: "Then they and the Flower Demon are a perfect match?"

Robinson shook his head: "No, it's not a perfect match, it's a death feud."

He explained in detail.

"The bloodlines of both races are very tyrannical."

"The children born to a flower demon and a man from another tribe will also be a flower demon. The children born to a centaur and a woman from another tribe are all centaurs. But when the two tribes meet, something goes wrong."

Rosen was very curious: "What was born in the end? A flying centaur?"

Robinson shook his head: "No, it's an evil female centaur."

Rosen was curious: "Where is the evil?"

"I haven't seen it, so I don't know much about it, but everyone says it's evil, so it must be evil!"

At this time, another man walked by who looked basically the same as a human, but there were some small differences.

For example, he looks very handsome, even though he only wears thin shorts and shorts, he still has the feeling of being a good son of a troubled world.

"That's the wood elves, the most powerful ordinary race in the swamp."

"They have natural and friendly talents, are extremely good at hiding, and have amazing archery skills. The trick of hiding in the grass and shooting poisonous arrows is the nightmare of countless adventurers."

He pointed again to the bow on the wood elf's back.

"Look, sir, what he is carrying is a bow made from the leg bones of a swamp tiger. Judging by its thickness, the bow strength exceeds Sandiwin, so he is an extraordinary elf."

"Usually wood elves are very dangerous, but this one is all right. In fact, he's an old friend of mine."

"If it weren't for his help, I couldn't get out of the swamp alive last time."

Speaking of this, Robinson stood up from hiding in the bushes, and waved to the wood elf from afar.

"Alvin, it's a pleasure to meet you!"

The wood elf immediately turned around and saw that it was Robinson, and walked over quickly with a look of extreme surprise on his face.

"My old friend, I thought you had left the swamp forever."

Then he carefully looked at Robinson's hands and feet: "Are these real hands and feet? Or magical prosthetics?"

"Of course it's real hands and feet."

Robinson rolled up one of his sleeves and showed it to his friends.

"It's just grown up, and its skin is fairer and tenderer than a girl's."

Alvin, the wood elf, had an incredulous expression on his face: "I don't understand, how did this happen? You are not a tree demon."

Robinson pointed to Rosen at the back: "It's all thanks to the help of this great man."

He said to Rosen, "Sir, if you can gain the friendship of a wood elf, it will allow you to go deeper into Yunmeng Marsh more safely."

This is to help him build a relationship.

Naturally, Rosen would not refuse, there are many friends and many paths.

So, he stepped forward to get close.

"I know that the Starlight Deer family lives in the swamp. There is a little girl named Evelina in the family. Does Mr. Alvin know her?"

Alvin raised his slender eyebrows, and a trace of surprise flashed in his dark blue eyes: "How do you know my sister?"

Rosen immediately said, "My name is Rosen."

Before he finished speaking, Robinson looked like he saw a ghost: "Rosen? You can't be the Duke of Storms, right? But isn't the Duke of Storms dead?"

Rosen smiled slightly: "You are well informed. In fact, I am not dead. But I have to hide it for a while, so you just need to know about it. Don't tell me about it in the Golden Land."

Robinson looked excited: "I said, why did such a powerful transcendent appear suddenly? It turned out to be the Duke of Storms. I am so honored to have your help, the Duke."

Being interrupted by him like this, there is no need to introduce Rosen's identity.

Alvin slapped his head and said, "So, you are my uncle. To be precise, are you the second uncle and the fifth uncle?"

The news that the Duke of Storm married the second sister of the Morning Star family has been brought back by his younger sister, and their mother is the eldest sister of Andraya and Serraya, named Shiraya.

Rosen felt that the world was really small.

He nodded: "If you are Evelina's real brother, then I will be your uncle."

A warm smile suddenly appeared on Alvin's face, and he gave a big gift to Rosen according to the etiquette of the wood elves.

"Uncle~ Since you're here, why don't you come with me to your house as a guest?"

After finishing speaking, he turned to Robinson and said, "You don't want to go. In fact, I suggest you leave the swamp immediately and don't come back for at least three years."

Robinson was taken aback: "Master Yemengarde hasn't put out the fire yet?"

Alvin nodded: "This fire won't go away in two or three years."

"My lord announced that you are the public enemy of the swamp. As long as someone sees you and then enters the swamp and gives him your head, you will be rewarded with ten pure life essences."

Robinson felt a chill on his neck, turned his head and looked around, and found that there seemed to be many unkind eyes looking at him around him.

He immediately turned his head to look at Rosen: "Duke, then I can't accompany you. If I follow you again, I'm afraid it will bring you big trouble."

"Then go back, but be careful, I'm dead now."

Robinson said, "Understood, I just pretend I don't know about it. If the Duke needs anything in the future, just call me and I will do my best."

As he spoke, he took off the package on his back and handed it to Alvin: "Here, a gift for you."

"Why did you give me a gift again? I told you not to give it away."

"That won't work, you saved my life."

Seeing that Alvin didn't pick it up, he saw the bag on the ground, then turned around and was about to run away.

Seeing that he was in a hurry to run, Rosen condensed a flying soul stone and patted him, then slightly lifted his body: "Fly back quickly, it's safer."

Robinson rushed straight to the sky, reached a height of five or six Lami, and then quickly went north all the way, disappearing in the blink of an eye.

When he left, Rosen turned to look at Alvin: "How do you two know each other?"

Alvin smiled and said, "At first it was because he was bitten by a lancehead viper, and he was lying by the water waiting to die. I saw him as pitiful and saved him. Later, he brought me a lot of gifts every time I came to the swamp."

Now that the bag had been thrown away, Alvin could only pick it up and carry it on his back.

"It's just some jewelry, needles and threads, binoculars, lighters and other small things that can't be bought in the swamp. The things are not expensive, but they are all useful."

Rosen smiled, thinking that Robinson was quite affectionate.

Since he was going to visit his aunt's house, it would not be good to go empty-handed, so Rosen asked, "Nephew~ What are you doing in Thorn Town?"

Just thought I might be able to help.

When asked about this, Alvin slapped his head immediately: "I almost forgot something important, I'm here to post an announcement about the convening of the Great Swamp Council."

"The Great Council of the Swamp?"

"To put it simply, the two-headed dragon king Lakonde wants to join forces with Yemengarde to attack the golden land together."

"Master Yemengade was a little moved, but he also hesitated, so he convened a big council to consult the opinions of the powerful people of all ethnic groups on this matter."

Rosen was slightly shocked: "This is not a good thing."

Alvin looked relaxed: "Uncle, don't worry, it's just a formality, and it will definitely be nothing in the end."

"After all, Lord Yemengade doesn't like the dry land of gold, and it's useless to try to grab it. Isn't it cheap for the Dragon Clan?"

That's right.

Alvin's words changed again: "However, it is not ruled out that Yemengarde will force a certain race to join the Dragon Alliance, so as to vent his anger."

Rosen understood: "So, it's Robinson's fault."

"Yes."

"When will the Great Council be held?"

"The night of the full moon in a month's time."

Rosen nodded: "Understood, you should post the announcement first."

Alvin showed a bit of embarrassment on his face: "I have to go to the gathering places of various ethnic groups to post announcements. It just so happens that my little sister is nearby. I will contact my little sister now and ask her to come and take you."

After finishing speaking, he actually took out a communication magic weapon from his pocket.

Seeing that Rosen was puzzled, he smiled slightly: "It was given by Robinson, and it can be answered within fifty lamines. It is very easy to use, and our family likes it very much."

He started to communicate with Evelina. After a while, he smiled and said, "Uncle, just wait in Thorn City. Eve will come over in an hour at most."

In this case, Rosen said: "Then you are busy with your work and don't worry about me."
