Chapter 696: The Wild Hope of the Dryad (Part 2)
Chapter 696: The Ambition of the Tree Spirit (Part 2)
A special investigation team set out from the Snow Capital City of the Ice and Snowland. A group of nine people, each of whom was in a carriage and traveled lightly.
Their target is the Tetashaw collar where the giant eagle druid is located.
The mission of this trip was to investigate the exact news on the leadership of Tetasha on the Queen's orders about whether the giant eagle druid was really back alive. If it is confirmed that the news of Romon's return was a rumor, they will no longer delay and quickly return to the country.
If the giant eagle druid had indeed returned alive, no matter what they used, they must find out what Romon encountered before he came back, where did he go at the same time as the tsunami, whether he had met the little prince and his group, and what happened later, it was necessary to check all these clearly before he could return home.
This task is difficult.
Therefore, they did the proper work before traveling.
First of all, it is to forge some suitable ID documents.
For the tasks assigned by the Queen himself, any resources can be called. Although the Kingdom of Shavigo is a country with vast and beautiful people in the north, there are always some people who install on the mainland, so the identity fraud is naturally effortless.
Among the nine people in this group, two palace officials disguised as female adventurers. They were not only responsible for the command of the entire incident, but also shouldered the task of paralyzing the enemy and bringing convenient conditions.
Of course, if there is really no way, seduction is not impossible.
In addition to these two people, the other seven are a level 4 druid, a level 4 mage, four knights, and a truly battle-prone adventurer.
The reason for such a combination is, on the one hand, it is to not attract others' attention and try to rationalize the team's structure. On the other hand, there is also the meaning of division of labor and cooperation, and different strategies and different people implementing it.
After the group of nine people changed into the costumes of ordinary adventurers, they were really similar. Even if they walked on the street, they would not attract anyone's attention.
The two female officials in the palace were priests, and the four knights themselves reached level 6 or above, but they were wearing ordinary people's clothes and hiding fighting spirit. In addition to occasionally showing a little knightly temperament, thus revealing that they are different from adventurers. Most of the time, their appearance is quite successful.
Even if the druid and the mage have a stronger aristocratic temperament, they will not be suspected. After all, these two professions themselves exude a noble atmosphere.
"Miss Mithana, it will take at least one month to reach the destination. This is still the time to go by sea. If you take land, it will take longer."
"Miss Mithana, although it will take longer to go on land, it is better to be insurance. If you encounter any problems at sea, let alone achieve the task, it is a problem even if you are safe. Miss Mithana, we are all professionals, and on land, there is no danger."
The two knights were standing by the female supervisor Mithana, pointing at different paths, and selling their views to the female supervisor.
Another female official, as the deputy, wisely did not speak out, and Mithana looked here with a headache and then there, and it was difficult for her to make up her mind.
In front of them, there were two roads at this time, one leading to the outward land area and extending to the seaside port where you can take a boat.
The other road leads to a deeper inland area, from which you can only walk by land and finally reach the Tetashawling they want to go to.
When a group of people left the snow city, they had two completely different opinions on whether to take the sea or land. They had a lot of differences and almost no one could convince anyone.
Those who advocate taking the land route have proposed the reason that this is safest and most secure.
After all, the elves are really a bit powerful at sea, and the recent activities are too frequent. Although the relationship between their queen and elves is somewhat special, if they really encounter a group of elves with red eyes on the road, they will not call and ask who they are first. I guess they will not let them go easily when they see human ships. In this case, it is safer for them to go by land.
The reasons proposed to go by the sea are also very sufficient.
The area they are now located at the northernmost point of the entire continent, while the country where the territory of Romon is located is located in a hotter place. If you take the land route, even if you spend the first half of a year, even if you use a carriage to travel, you may not be able to reach their destination in time.
Time doesn't wait for anyone. Let's not talk about whether the queen who is waiting in the snow can waste such a long time on the road. Even if the queen waits for it, the evidence and information cannot be waited.
The longer the time is, the more unfavorable it will be for the investigation work, and they all understand this.
Time is still a very precious thing for them.
People who hold these two views think that their views are the most correct. Therefore, in order to find out which party’s opinion is used, the two sides are in a stalemate for a while.
In the end, Mithana, the female official in charge of this operation, made up her mind and ordered everyone to follow the orders and go on the sea!
The people who insisted on taking the land stopped hearing Mithana's decision.
However, even if they decide to take the sea route, before taking the sea route, their group still has to take a section of land route until they pass through a country and come to a large harbor leading to the outside area, and then they can take a boat to other places.
"Miss Mithana, have you really not thought about it anymore?" Although the people who had been insisting on land surrendered for a while when Mithana made the decision, they saw the extremely surging sea water, their worries rose again and spared no effort to conduct the final persuasion.
It seems that they will not give up completely and once again made their suggestions to take the land.
Miss Mithana shook her head and said firmly: "It is obviously not realistic to take the land route. Although it is a bit dangerous to go by sea, I want to respond, time will save a lot. We don’t have much time anymore, so we must find evidence as soon as possible. Therefore, in order to get urgent time, we must take the sea route."
Since Miss Mithana said so, those who hoped that the land would be embarrassed to say something.
Moreover, after many days of running around, they had already arrived at a large port where ships could sail far away.
It is obviously impossible to abandon the boat here and go back to take the land route.
So, a group of nine people took a cargo ship and slowly marched towards Tetashaul in the still cold weather in January.
There was not much turmoil along the way.
Not only did the elves not intercept them, but they didn't even encounter a robber. When they asked the ship owner, they realized that although the elves were very fussy, they did not attack all the sea routes. The sea route they are currently on is safer.
Although I did not encounter any attacks from elves or robbers on the road, I encountered many sea beasts.
The abnormal movements of these sea beasts should be related to the season. The groups of sea beasts are no longer in the deep sea now, and they all run to the part of the sea to wander around like arousing their energy.
On several occasions, the large ship that the investigation team was riding on almost touched the huge sea beast. The people on the ship, including sailors, were all scared to sweat.
As we all know, if you provoke such sea beasts during the sailing process on the sea, and provoke them, you will be constantly entangled with you, making your boat very uncomfortable.
The worst is to die together and lose both sides.
While sailing quickly, if you hit a huge fish that is also swimmering, the impact force is definitely not as simple as one plus one equals two.
After a month, their group finally arrived from the ice and snowy land to a much warmer territory.
And Yuanfan Port is already in front of you.
"This, is this Yuanfan Port?" When everyone was really stunned when they saw Yuanfan Port.
Before they came, they had conducted a series of investigations into the identity of the giant eagle druid Romon and knew that Romon was a viscount and had a territory.
However, for a viscount who was promoted or a nobleman exiled by the Glorious Church, they would feel that this territory must be relatively poor.
However, as soon as I saw that this port was so big!
On the dock, it was very formal. All ships entered the port and there was a pilot guide. The captain was making gestures quickly and repeating every command of the pilot.
Boats followed the orders and sailed into a vast port. In the port, boats stretched for thousands of meters, and countless workers were busy loading and unloading.
Not to mention anything else, such a port is very surprising.
Moreover, it was not only that simple, but also far away. A druid and a mage in the team noticed something at the same time, and their faces changed drastically.
"There is actually... a mage tower at the port!" A strange wave of power was sensed in the cabin at the same time. When the two of them quickly walked out of the cabin and came to the deck to watch, they all opened their mouths in surprise, and then looked at each other, and no one said anything.
What these two people are concerned about is different from how many people.
The others walked out and looked over there, surprised at the grand port and the numerous ships moored at the port. The two of them, who were concerned, were the towering mage towers that emitted powerful mana fluctuations!
As druids and mages, they are not unfamiliar with buildings like the Mage Tower, so naturally they know how much money it will cost to build such a Mage Tower!
And, this is definitely not a simple matter of money.
When both of them saw this wizard tower, they realized that the noble who had been forced to exile was not as they thought.
Having a mage tower is like having tanks and planes on Earth.
These people may be representatives of the kingdom, but here they are in a weak position.
