We headed northwest from Ordin City. There were many small cities along the way, but I didn't expect the people of Ordin to be so hospitable. Perhaps it was because of his relationship with Lloyd, who was famous in the Northern Region. Don't forget, his status in Babylon was almost higher than the king's!
Along the way, I was still habitually paying attention to some of the important military points of their city. Although it looked scattered, the distance between them wasn't far. To attack a city, one had to be mentally prepared for reinforcements from all directions. Moreover, the people here weren't inferior to the people of Masada Fortress. It was very easy for the enemy to surround the city before they could take it. Moreover, I realized that the city wall didn't seem to be a battlefield for attack and defense. The battlefield was inside the city!
Red Thorn had also noticed this. The city was filled with tunnels, and they were basically fighting urban guerrilla warfare! It was truly a case of "closing the door and letting the dogs out"…
These days, we bought many spare items and rations. We traveled during the day and rested at night in preparation for the "wet valley" that would welcome us.
It took us about ten days to get from Odin to the wet valley.
The moment everyone stepped into the wet valley, they immediately felt a wave of stifling heat. The weather on the narrow path made me think of snakes and medicine. There were snakes, but they seemed to be too lazy to care about us. The entire path was filled with snakes, but they were on both sides. Perhaps the two sides that were surrounded by mountains felt better for them!
It was no wonder that it was difficult for the northern side to attack Odin with force. It would be strange if half of the army did not die when they passed through the wet valley. Not only did the army drag on for a long time, but the heat and humidity alone could easily cause diseases. Moreover, if they alarmed the snakes, it was difficult to guarantee that they would not be bitten. A detour…from the Great Dreamy Cloud Lake? Perhaps the mercenaries could try to get the soldiers to go to the Great Marsh? That person must be an idiot. Soldiers can fight with people, but you want him to fight with a corpse? How could it be possible for ordinary soldiers?
Going around Yunmeng from the north? That was not possible, because that was a huge ice field, which was even bigger than the Cloud Dream!
Therefore, he would obediently follow the Savannahs of Finland…but what awaited him was Odin's cavalry…
I did find a lot of plants on the way to the wet valley, but since we didn't know anything about them, I had to calculate the proportion of the plants that appeared and record them. I also brought some samples with me. I thought Xiu Xiu would need them very much.
For example, the Wall Twining Vine was a clump of grass that wriggled on a cliff at any time. It was very similar to a snake, but it did not bite.
The deeper I went in, the more humid it was. It also became a dark mass. If I didn't wipe my face, it would be like a city being drenched in water. I would inhale a lot of water vapor if I took a deep breath. I had originally wanted to suggest that we quickly pass through, but I swallowed back my words. Fortunately, I didn't ask. I believe that Lloyd should have known about it long ago, which was why he had such a relaxed expression.
Looking to both sides, there were cliffs that were so tall that they seemed to reach the sky. The sunlight seemed to be unable to shine here, making the entire wet valley seem a little gloomy.
His clothes were also half-wet and not dry. It was really uncomfortable to wear them. He felt as if he would drown at any moment. Logically speaking, this kind of weather was unlikely to happen. It was really inexplicable, but... it was right! We're already here. What could be weirder than this?
On the way, I felt that Amanda was a good person. A girl could endure such hardships and follow us. Besides, we didn't give her any special treatment. Everyone settled their own matters. If Amanda was a proud and weak girl, she would have fallen in the first few days, right?
To me, I wouldn't treat him differently because of a girl. Although Xiaoyun and the others once said that I was inhumane, I felt that why should I give preferential treatment to girls?
Therefore, I wouldn't help her with anything that she could do on her own because I was bored and didn't have any pity for her.
Fortunately, Amanda didn't complain or beg, just as I had expected. She was much better than most people, making me have the urge to ask her to join us!
After walking for more than a month, my heart almost jumped out when the dim light slowly brightened, because I knew that we were at least halfway through. When I stepped out of the valley, I almost cheered! It was too stuffy inside. When Amanda saw me jumping around like a child, she almost thought she was seeing things. Xiao Xi just smiled and didn't say anything. With his hard-working martial arts, he wouldn't care about such a small matter.
The blue sky and the empty land, I was so touched that I couldn't speak…Because I hate the feeling of being restrained the most, it's like being granted amnesty! I'd rather go to the Great Marsh on the way back. I'll teleport if that's the case! It couldn't be used in the winding path!
What was reflected in his eyes was a piece of green land. On closer look, it didn't look like a grassland. The grass was green. This was emerald green! Actually, they were all short shrubs, right? How should I address them?
After asking, he found out that these were all short trees. Although they were not tall, they were less favorable to the cavalry. It seemed that the light armor had the upper hand again.
We slowly walked onto the main road, and the number of people increased. Occasionally, we would see patrolling Mayar soldiers, all dressed in light equipment! With hounds!
Every country had its own unique customs!
Along the way, I could sense that Lloyd's reputation had spread far and wide. The patrol captain, merchant group, and travelers all greeted him. I joked,"What's wrong? How can you be considered a celebrity?"
Who knew that Lloyd would say seriously,"With your skills, I believe that what you get is not inferior to mine!”
I shook my head." I don't care for that kind of thing, and I don't need it. Let me see where you live as an observer."”
After walking for less than a mile, they encountered an army. That's right, an army of nearly 500 people. They wore bright armor and had Maya's totem carved on their right shoulders.
Not surprised at all, Lloyd whispered,""Oh…you're here?"
A person rode his horse forward. When he was a few dozen feet away from us, he dismounted and walked forward respectfully."Your Majesty welcomes the Grand Magister to pass by our Maya and has specially ordered me to welcome him!”
"Sir, which general are you?" asked Lloyd as he looked at the man.”
"I'm the deputy commander of the Mayer Palace's city defense. Grand Magus, you can call me Baron."”
As if knowing that I didn't understand, Lloyd whispered to me,""The vice commander of the Mayer Palace's city defense is like the guards of Ordin.”
I sighed in my heart,"They actually sent guards to welcome a person?" Guards were the highest level of military service! Even the Roman Guards only numbered a thousand.”
While I was thinking, Lloyd had already led us towards Baron. Baron also turned around and walked towards the Mayer Guards, shouting,"Prepare the horses! Return to the palace!"
A few soldiers led some horses for us to ride on and then continued to accompany us. Along the way, I was observing the movements of this group of people. Let's just talk about Baron. Perhaps he wasn't familiar with Lloyd, but I thought that most people would want to establish a relationship with him. Baron, on the other hand, did his part well and escorted Lloyd to the palace. He didn't say anything unnecessary on the way. The soldiers were the same. They weren't curious about why there was a group of people beside Lloyd. They continued to look forward as they walked. His mood swings were completely unaffected.
It had been more than ten days since I left the wet valley. These days, I had been served by the guards. I hadn't had such a life since I left Rome. I had been cut off for a month and a half. I really missed Little Yun from Rome.
As I swayed, Maya City came into view. I thought in surprise,"It looks like the city in the painting!"”
There were no tall city walls, and the barrier between the city and the outside was only two to three meters. There was the Maya River in front of them, and there were trees around them. The breeze was gentle, and there were birds flying in the sky above the city, landing on the Maya Plains in the afterglow of the setting sun...
Seeing it gave me a warm feeling, just like the joy of a lost person in the forest seeing a family in the forest. It was ancient and peaceful, revealing its tranquility. I closed my eyes, and Maya seemed to be whispering in the wind. When I passed by my ears, I heard the sound of the wind, the sound of ten thousand birds chirping.
Seeing my intoxicated expression, Lloyd asked in confusion,"What did you hear?"
"Maya…is talking."”I still had my eyes closed, as if I was listening to something.
Xiao Xi snorted and said," Old man…What's there to admire? It's always been like this!"”
At this moment, I didn't realize that Lloyd had already stopped the group. The guards were waiting for Lloyd to speak, while he was focused on watching me, who was listening intently with his eyes closed.
I ignored Xiao Xi's sarcastic words. Besides, he already knew that I liked to look at the scenery and blend in with everything.
Maya murmured. It was so calm that one could not feel its sadness. It was buried deep in the wood and separated by the wet valley. Maya was calmly accepting everything. This must be a place where all kinds of talents were prepared!
I suddenly opened my eyes and saw that everyone had stopped here. I scratched my head and asked Lloyd,"What's wrong?"
"We were waiting for you, waiting for your conversation with Maya," said Lloyd.”
I'm even more baffled. What conversation did I have? It was just that I didn't see this scene. I forgot myself and enjoyed all the senses that this place brought me.
"What did Maya say to you?”
"Can Maya still talk?" I wondered.”
However, he still said," It accepts all things in peace. There is tranquility in tranquility. We have the peace it brings. It has the life we brought!"
'What he said is even more thorough than Cordo's explanation!”
Who was Codoli? It was Maya's Court Mage! He was an important figure who specialized in wind magic and had a golden badge on his head. He led the entire magic army in Maya!
Then I smiled and said,"The commotion is to welcome the visitors from afar."”
This time, it was Baron's turn to feel a huge wave in his heart. He could not help but think,"Isn't this what Cordoli told him before we left? Could this young man really talk to Maya?”
Although Baron's expression didn't change, I could sense a slight fluctuation in his voice.
At this moment, Baron respectfully asked me,"Dear guest from afar, is the conversation over? If it is, I will stand up.”
His words of respect made me a little at a loss. I hurriedly said,"Sorry to disturb everyone, please move forward!”
Baron bowed and turned around to lead the way.
At this moment, I said to Lloyd,"You guys can go to the palace. I'll just wander around the city."”
Xiao Xi interjected." He doesn't like too many formalities. He's not used to the court's etiquette. We'll go with you. If there's anything wrong with Ruofeng, he'll tell us."”
"Alright, but we have to be able to find you first!"”
I waved my hand and said,"Alright!"
I looked around at everyone and said,"You guys will follow Lloyd."”
At this moment, we are passing through Maya's city gates…
