It is only for precaution! Facing Liang Li Dong’s questioning, old Village Head only said this sentence and not speak anymore.
It is only going to Winter Wind City, is there a need to go to a secret location and seek help from ‘Black Mercenary’? Logically speaking, there is no need to but Liang Li Dong does not think that old Village Head is just speaking casually. He might have foreseen that their trip to Winter Wind City might face some problem and the problem must have something to do with Kyle. After all, Liang Li Dong only ‘appeared’ in this world for less than 3 days and his activities range is only within the village’s surroundings. There is no way for him to have a feud with anyone in Winter Wind City.
If his prediction is correction, Village Head must be thinking of using his hands to get rid of some trouble Kyle had gotten into but this trouble should not be too serious or he would not be at ease with Liang Li Dong bringing his grandson to Winter Wind City alone. After all, Kyle is the only descendant of Reed family and what he just said should be to remind Liang Li Dong if there is something he cannot deal with, he can look for someone he knows for help.
A small village head is able to plant his men in the city? Liang Li Dong feels the possibility is not high. The Village Head looks like an ordinary person, if he is a Cla.s.s-er, according to situations in the game, Village Head’s name should have a level behind in the system display&h.e.l.lip;&h.e.l.lip;But he does not have, not only him, Behring and Kyle are also ordinary people. Although Kyle is stronger than ordinary people, he is still an ordinary person and not a Cla.s.s-er.
If it were in the game, this should be considered as a ‘quest’ already but Liang Li Dong did not receive any system notification at this time, which is to say quest system has lost effect too.
Very soon, Kyle brings Behring into the house. Because of hearing they are going to Winter Wind City, the young girl seems to be very happy.She specially changed into a light brown linen dress without patches and even dressed herself up a bit. Old Village Head warns them and made them listen to Liang Li Dong, do not randomly make their own decisions and then slowly walks upstairs, preparing for his nap. Liang Li Dong looks at the old man’s slightly stooping back and turns his head around to ask Kyle: “How long have you not been to Winter Wind City recently?”
“Probably for half a year already.” Kyle ponders for a while and says: “After the headcount tax went up, I’ve never went there already.”
Liang Li Dong has a sip of water and continues asking: “Did your grandfather not go to Winter Wind City in half a year too?”
“That’s not the case.” Kyle searches his memories for a bit and says: “Grandfather will go there once every month but he has things to do each time so he couldn’t bring me along.”
Hearing this, Liang Li Dong understands already. It is definitely a minor trouble regarding Kyle. He ponders for a while and smiles: “You two, go and make preparations, we’re setting off in a while.”
Few minutes later, the trio appears at the village entrance. The weather now is way too good. The sun s.h.i.+nes on the yellow mud road and turns the originally slightly muddy road into pieces of dry ‘fish scales’. The steaming hot air distorts the scenery at a distance. Kyle pa.s.ses a bamboo hat made from twigs to Liang Li Dong: “Teacher, walking in such a weather, if we’re under the sun for too long, it is very easy to get heat stroke. Although this thing looks a bit ugly, it is very practical.”
Now, many children have changed and referred to Liang Li Dong as teacher already. Kyle is the same. He looks at Liang Li Dong’s soft skin and tender flesh, his skin is even better than n.o.ble girls, he is worried that he cannot take such fierce sunlight but in actual fact, his worries is redundant. Liang Li Dong has spent a total of 8 years in the game world. From the beginner at the very start to a famous and strong players of the server, he has went through many things, long period of explorations, quests. He has experienced environments 100 times worse than this. Mere hot sun in the afternoon is nothing in his eyes.
And most importantly, he is a Cla.s.s-er, Physique stat is not bad, it is 7. According to the game’s a.s.sessment, this is already cla.s.sified as ‘good’. Ordinary environment’s weather already cannot affect his body’s health.
“No need!” Liang Li Dong shakes his hand and rejects the other party’s kindness: “Oh right, how far away is Winter Wind City from here?”
“If it’s walking normally, it’s around 1 and a half hour.”
“Then time is not enough, we have to pick up speed.”
Liang Li Dong snaps his fingers and activates the trait ‘Driving Fog’. The trio is engulfs in the center of 100 meters of fog. The afternoon sun of summer can no longer s.h.i.+ne through this layer of thick fog but for the trio in it, the field of view is not affected at all and it feels really cooling. Liang Li Dong using the Driving Fog trait at this time, is not only for comfort, but also to increase their walking speed. In ＜f.l.a.n.g.e Continent＞, there are many skills, traits or magic to increase one’s moving speeding but there are relatively very little skills that can increase allies’ moving speed at a large-scale.
And this skill ‘Driving Fog’ not only is able to increase allies’ moving speed, it can also be considered as soundless moving. If it is used in the night, it can totally be used as a ma.s.s Stealth skill. Not only that, this skill can also reduce enemies’ field of view, hearing and moving speed. It is totally a BUG-like bloodline magic, using it in large-scale warfare can definitely gain a large advantage instantly.
Although ally targets can only enjoy half of the buff but the 1.5 effect when applied onto speed, it means a walking speed of 1.5m/s. Ordinary people’s walking speed is around 1-1.5m/s, which is to say after entering the thick fog, Kyle and Behring just walking normally can have the effect of jogging.
“Magic is really amazing.” Kyle looks around in the thick fog. He feels that his walking speed is obviously faster and does not really exhaust his strength. Although he already has this kind of experience before, the charm of magic still made him gasp in admiration.
Behring follows behind Kyle, her lips moves and what that follows is slight sighing.
