Journey to Azeroth

Chapter 116 South Sea Town

Headwind Canyon is a famous tourist area in the south of Dalaran. Departing from the south gate of Dalaran and crossing the farm in the suburbs in one day, you will find two hills. The hills are very close to each other, but they are independent. The canyon formed in between is the headwind canyon.

The scenery here is beautiful, and it is a good place for leisure people to travel. However, the terrain here is very rugged. The uneven ground will cause people who do not pay attention to sprain their feet, and walking between overlapping rocks is even more dangerous. risk.

Starting from Dalaran, the speed of Karl and his party is not slow, but the good times don’t last long. Usually when people pray for everything to go well, they will encounter all kinds of unexpected troubles. In Headwind Canyon, Blake accidentally stepped on a stone and severely sprained his foot, which greatly reduced the speed of the team.

Black frowned and apologized to Carl and Cowley gloomily.

As the saying goes, when bad luck takes care of you once, it must come a second time or more.

Practice has proved the correctness of the above remarks. On the fifth day after the departure, when passing through a dense forest, Karl and his party fought against the thieves guarding in the dense forest. After a fierce battle, the opponent was completely wiped out, and Black was injured Injuries, a muscle strain in his arm, and Cowley broke two ribs in the shock.

The squad, full of wounded, continued southward at a third of its initial speed.

On the seventh day of departure, the summer rainstorm fell for the first time. Perhaps the people of Dalaran would cheer and celebrate the rain, but Karl and his party would definitely not be like this. In the majestic heavy rain, Karl pulled the The travel cloak, which is useless in the rain, moved forward on the muddy road.

But Cowley and Black were even worse. The rib injury made Cowley let out a scream when he didn't move, cursing God, as if this would reduce the pain.

Wearing armor weighing tens of kilograms, Black limped along behind Karl. As the torrential rain became heavier, more and more mud lay on the road, and Black's whole body sank into the muddy water, unable to move.

The group had to stop, braved the heavy rain, set up a simple temporary camp in the woods next to the road, and began to repair.

Two days later, the team was on the road again. Of course, the heavy rain was inevitable. The rainy season brought more than just cold and humidity. Just as Karl worried, the muddy water quickly gathered together and formed a brown river roaring along the road. Moving forward, Karl and his party had to leave the road and enter the wilderness.

It is getting more and more difficult for the team to advance, but fortunately, Cowley and Black are both experienced adventurers. Although they were caught off guard by the sudden rainstorm, the experience accumulated in their adventure life can quickly help them overcome difficulties.

For example, you have to take off your armor before going to bed, otherwise you won’t be able to recover enough physical strength the next day. The camp should be set up in the upper air vent near the water source, and the campfire should be lit continuously at night to prevent the attacks of wild animals. Before Carl made arrangements, Cowley and Black took over The task of vigil.

No. 14 days after departure, Karl and his team finally arrived at Hillsbrad Farm, which is the farthest place Karl has reached after crossing, but it took twice as long as planned.

Dark clouds hung low in the sky, and a large amount of water vapor filled the air. Karl and his party walked down the slope of the hill, and the light green grass was covered with water droplets.

Looking down from the slope, you can see neat patches of farmland, all kinds of crops are growing wildly in the farm, and more than a dozen wooden houses are scattered around the farm.

Light rain began to fall in the sky again, and the three of them had to speed up their pace. Before the heavy rain came, they left the hilly area, walked into the farm, and began to repair in the hotel in the center of the farm.

Carl and his party spent five days recuperating in the hotel on the farm.

On the sixth day, the torrential rain finally stopped, and the sky cleared up again. Cowley and Blake bid farewell to the innkeeper in a hurry, regardless of their unhealed injuries, and set off on the road again.

In the following days, the weather finally became clear, and the water vapor in the sky seemed to have been exhausted.

Going east through the farm, three days later, a castle appeared in front of the three of them.

The walls of the castle are nearly 5 meters high, the gray granite walls are dilapidated, and a dark gray atmosphere surrounds the castle.

A golden magic circle stands in front of the gate of the castle, and a huge holy light crystal floats above the magic circle, constantly swaying the holy light around.

Through the gap in the broken gate, Karl saw a humanoid creature wandering around the castle, with light blue dots in its eyes.

Cowley stared at the huge Holy Light Crystal, drooling, and following Carl's reminder, reluctantly followed behind him, carefully walked around the castle, passed through the outer church, and continued to move eastward.

The three of them kept walking along the foot of the Grizzly Bear Hills. Except for a few beasts with no eyes, they encountered no difficulties. After several days of trekking, they finally left the Hillsbrad Hills smoothly.

A thin off-white line divides the green eyes into two, and small dots move slowly on the thin line. Cowley ran from behind, jumped up and tried to pat Carl on the shoulder, but the height gap made him give up. He could only pat Carl on the back.

"That's the trade route between Alterac and Southsea Town," Cowley said excitedly, waving his arms and legs, and ran forward regardless of the pain on his body.

Soon, the thin gray-white line was getting closer and gradually widened, turning into a three-meter-long flat road, with caravans and carriages constantly passing by, and the armor of the guards gleamed under their eyes.

The next journey became smoother. After advancing for a certain distance, Karl and his party successfully hitched a ride in a caravan. The speed increased a lot, and the 7-day journey was shortened by half. In four days, the three reached their destination.

At this time, it has been a month since the departure from Dalaran. During this period, Karl's magic addiction appeared once. Under the suppression of the essence of the Sunwell, the magic addiction did not cause much trouble to Karl.

Karl knew that this was only temporary. Although the essence of the Sunwell could suppress his addiction, it was also constantly transforming his body to improve his arcane talents in all aspects, and the addiction would become more and more serious.

The day when the essence of the Sunwell can't satisfy Karl is the day when he becomes a heartbreaker.

As the carriage continued to move forward, the town of Nanhai became clearer in Karl's eyes.
