After a simple exchange, Barrett and the 'Dirty Novel' adventure team walked out of the tavern. The barbarian looked back at the tavern sign hanging on the door edge. The words 'Prosperity, Fortune' were engraved on the oak wood plank. It was painted bright gold, and at this time, it was shaking with the wind, making a slight and leisurely 'creaking' sound.

He looked up at the sky again. A group of beggar birds flapped their wings, flying busy circle after circle in the blue sky, looking for anything to eat.

It's time to plant the crops, Barrett thought. If not careful, these fast-growing and numerous beggar birds will steal all the grain seeds sown in the fields.

Whether it is the best-tasting and most expensive speer wheat, or the most tenacious, rye known as the 'gift of the mage', or corn, soybeans, and even the newly sprouted spring buds, they are all short and Scarlet beak.

However, this small red-billed sparrow itself is also the most common meat in the slums. One copper coin can buy two. This kind of bird cannot be eaten roasted, because there is very little meat on the bird, and after roasting, there is nothing but bones. The general way to eat is to use deep-fried crispy, chew the bird meat that sticks to the bone together with the bone, or add some turnip stew to drink, at least let you taste the meaty taste.

Generally, except for the poor in the slums, no one will eat this bird, which is also the origin of its name.

"Today is a good day for adventure, isn't it?" Old Will smoked his pipe and walked to Barrett's side, and glanced at him with a smile, "Sunny weather always makes people feel good."

"Today is really good, but in the foggy forest, there is no difference between a sunny day and a cloudy day." Barrett said, "There, the milky mist covers the sky, and you can't see more than 10 steps away. "

"I heard that the reason for the formation of the fog is because an ancient fog dragon lives in the depths of the forest?" Half-elf Estelle tightened the weapon belt around his waist and asked casually, "And I heard that It's still an ancient fog dragon who transformed himself into a dragon lich."

The fog in the foggy forest persists all year round, and there are countless rumors about its cause. In addition to the saying of the ancient Wulong, there are also people who believe that there is a corpse of a **** who fell in the war when the gods and the magic empire fought a **** war buried in the foggy forest, and the lingering fog It is a manifestation of divine power spreading wantonly from the corpse.

"As an adventurer, I never cared about how the Misty Forest came into being." Barrett said, "I only care about what valuable things there are for me to gain." Or lose.

"Very pragmatic idea." Old Will nodded.

"However, many rumors are not groundless. If you know more, maybe sometime it will bring you unexpected surprises," said half-elf Estelle.

Primordial fog dragon and the corpse of the god? No, those are too far away from me, what if they were real? That's not out of my reach. Barrett glanced at Estelle, but did not speak. This half-elf, who always had a friendly smile on his face, always liked to contradict other people's opinions, as if arguing would be fun for him. But Barrett doesn't like arguments.

"I don't want those rumors to be true." Old Will led the crowd to the outside of the Bay of Pigs, "A dracolich transformed from an ancient dragon, ha, those high-level mages in the Magic Association may be able to Feeling a little tricky, let alone us."

"Moglock will shred everything, no matter what it is!" The ogre said arrogantly from behind Barret.

Barrett glanced back at him, and the tall ogre was wrapped in fine steel armor mixed with mithril and magic iron, making him look like a construct golem made by mages. The dwarf sat on the ogre's shoulders, one hand resting on his chin, his face as miserable as ever.

You can't shred the mist, Barrett thought. It will float gently before the sharp edge of your weapon, churning happily after the traces of your weapon, and then heal. It's like it never happened, no matter how hard you try, no matter how many times you tear it apart.

Why does it sound like a bard's mouth? Barrett frowned at his poetic inner monologue.

Passing through the 'Bay of Pigs', the group walked towards the Mist Castle.

......

The Mist Fort is the only gateway through the Cavis Mountains into and out of the Mist Forest. Well... it's actually not accurate to say that, strictly speaking, it should be the only gateway for entry and exit by land.

The towering Cavius ​​Mountains are too long, forming a half-arc in the shape of a mysterious moon as a whole, wrapping the entire foggy forest to death. The Misty Forest is the westernmost point of the entire continent, and further west, there is an endless ocean.

Of course, if you want, you can also go all the way north from here, make a carriage or teleport the circle, and reach the Phrygia Islands and the Kingdom of Cess Peninsula, which are more than 4,000 kilometers away.

From the Sais Peninsula in the Forsyth Kingdom, take a boat back to the south and sail along the coastline. You can enjoy the magnificent sea scenery and say hello to the raging pirates by the way. If the voyage goes well without a storm, and you don't lose your life in the hands of pirates, you'll see Saran, a beautiful island city-state perched on a large coral reef, after 3 to 5 days of sailing.

You can choose to detour a little bit and stop for a while on Saran Island to taste the famous local delicacy - 'Weeping Tongue'. This dish is made by stuffing clear whitebait and pickled olives into the belly of trout, then pan-fried with a little basil, and served with celery and turnips for an unforgettable taste.

Leaving Saran and continuing along the coastline, after 2 to 4 days sailing south, you can land directly in the Misty Forest from the western side of the entire continent.

Or you can go all the way south from the Bay of Pigs, through most of the Griffin Kingdom, to the southernmost port of Meldofy, from the port, take a boat back to the north. In short, as long as you have a boat, there are many places on the long coastline on the west side where you can land.

But on land, the only way to get to the foggy forest is to go through the foggy castle. Unless you are a high-level mage, then no mountains and rivers can stop you, and even the countless other planes in the multiverse are the places where you travel.

......

There are two doors in the Mist Fortress for entering and exiting the Mist Forest, one of which is inside the fortress and cannot be used by adventurers, because it is the residence of the Golden Clover Knights, and ordinary adventurers are not allowed to enter; the other is in the northern city wall. On the top is a small door that can only accommodate two people entering and exiting side by side. And this small door is the passage for adventurers to enter and exit the foggy forest.

The small door is called 'the gap between the toes' by the adventurers. Compared with the city wall more than 30 meters high, this small door with a height of less than three meters is indeed a little small, like the gap between the toes of a giant. As for the adventurers, UU Reading www.uukanshu.com is like an ant crawling in and out of this gap.

When Barrett and his party arrived here, there were more than 200 adventurers waiting outside the 'toe gap'. These people are either in groups of three or five, chatting noisily and boasting to each other about the possible gains of this adventure; ' The group pointed and pointed, after all, a tall ogre in full armor was very eye-catching wherever he went.

Two nearby squads of knights belonging to the Knights of the Golden Clover were constantly patrolling around the adventurers. Because they were only on patrol, these knights did not wear full-body armor with higher defenses, but rather lighter, body-hugging chain armor over a gold-trimmed cotton smock with a gold clover pattern. The knights wear the traditional griffin helmets of the griffin kingdom on their heads. The wings of the griffins are embedded on the sides of the helmets and extend backwards, which looks quite mighty.

Barrett had also dealt with these knights before, and knew that the standard armor of this knight order was forged with a special method, which provided much higher defense than ordinary armor. Not only that, the Golden Clover Knights also hired mages to enchant those armors, so that when these knights fought together, the armors on their bodies would resonate with each other, making the already high defense power to a higher level.

But Barrett doesn't think putting himself in a sturdy iron jar is a guarantee of safety. In his opinion, keen senses and flexible skills should be the first.

There was still a little time before the scheduled opening time. Old Will was chatting with a captain-level person in the knight order, while the others in the "dirty novel" were browsing the bounty bar by the city wall.

After greeting a few familiar adventurers, Barrett also walked towards the bounty column.
