Chapter 32 (1/2)
The bamboo thin middle age man brought Bai Song out of the village and stops at the carriage relay station. Bai Song does not rush him, instead, he waits patiently.
In <myth>, there are various means of transport, the player can possess all kinds of them, examples would be dolphins, horses, flying horses and all kinds of land, sea and air mounts.
The players can also craft gliders, precious mechanical gold plated sports cars, foray boats, black pearl wars.h.i.+ps, and commercial s.h.i.+ps. There are also all kinds of public transport, like the carriage that they are currently waiting for as well as flying blimps.
[ED: cars in a fantasy game? Fuji you sure the author isn’t drunk?][TL: well we will know in the future when that car actually appears]
The carriages that go past Wind Sprout Village are short routes with cheap prices, most of the people in the carriage are NPCs. Currently, at this phase, the carriage routes do not lead into the areas that the players are grinding at, hence other than those who are traveling for the scenery, few players will take the carriage.
The coachman stops for a while and then spurs the carriage onwards.
The carriage is not like ancient China carriages, instead it is like a moon boat and both sides of the carriages have two rows of seats, like an open-air convertible.
Bai Song sits facing the back of the carriage, the surrounding scenery flows in the opposite direction, after a few minutes, the water selling man indicates to Bai Song to get off together with him,
“Follow me.” The middle age man walks towards a forest without looking back. “Follow closely, I will not take responsibility if you wander off.”
There is a lot of fog in the forest, the thick fog shrouded the sky of the forest when Bai Song saw the forest and he got a shock: “It is actually the Misleading Forest, the 40th bandit heads lair is actually in this area.”
The 40th bandit head is a rumour that Bai Song had heard in the past, it is said that the 40th bandit head had 40 experts who are well-verse in the thief technique and the 40th bandit head is a big thief whose reputation is very loathsome throughout the whole world. All of the treasure and heirlooms that they have stolen are all kept within the 40th bandit heads lair. Although the first person that managed to find the lair witnessed the loot, afterward when a second person went there, all of the treasures had already been s.h.i.+fted to another place.
The most legendary thief among the players had once acknowledged that of all of his thief techniques, there were a few that are from an inheritance from the 40th bandit head, and the reason why he managed to get them is that he had met a person selling water.
The location he did not say but based on the timing that he had said, Bai Song has guessed that it is not within the Wind Sprout Village.
At that time, because he had suffered a large emotional shock and became gloomy when he saw the water seller that scares everyone who sees him, he had the urge to toy with him. Hence he continuously poured away the first and second cup of water then drank the third cup of water and paid that guy a single copper coin.
While the two of them were quarrelling Empty Hand[1] swore that in the future he will take the life of the water seller, in the end, the water seller finally revealed the person who acted like him and was requested by Empty Hand to bring him to see that fellow.
All Bai Song is currently doing is acting out the actions of Empty Hand, while praying that everything will go according to plan and he might be able to get into the 40th bandit heads lair.
The two of them do not speak, with the water seller leading through the Misleading Forest, Bai Song and water seller reach the foot of a forested hill.
“Just keep walking straight, around the middle of the hill, you will find a cave. The generous man is inside the cave.” The water seller sneers as he says: “When you see him you will know how laughable and miserly your actions are.”
“Okay if all of this is real, I am willing to apologize to you.” Bai Song smiles.
“To h.e.l.l with it! I am not going. I still want to sell water.” The water seller finishes saying this and immediately backtracks to get out of here disregarding Bai Song’s att.i.tude.
At this time, Bai Song receives a notice.
