Chapter 68 Cold Water, Dense Fog
Chapter 68 Cold Water, Dense Fog
Dorothy ate her delicious meal.
The food here is very generous with its ingredients, not in terms of quantity, but in terms of spices.
Elor, holding a fork in his left hand, pointed to the badge on his chest and said, "The common people of the Kingdom of Radiance have great respect for mages. Of course, other countries also have great respect for mages, but not as exaggerated as here."
"I can see that," Dorothy nodded.
It was obvious from the moment we entered the town.
Because she was an apprentice, she needed to be questioned.
But the fact that a magician was sitting in the carriage is another matter.
Especially after Leona came out.
Not only the hotel owner and waiters, but everyone else's voices were noticeably softer.
Everyone starts to adopt a certain style when they speak, eat, and make movements.
After the three finished their meal and left, the situation inside the inn returned to normal.
Inside the room, Dorothy kicked off her cloth shoes, revealing her clean, white feet.
"Ah, I can finally get a good night's sleep. It's been so stuffy and hot in the carriage these past few days."
Elor glanced at Dorothy's dangling feet.
"Because it's summer."
"Summer..." Dorothy murmured softly, turning her gaze to Elor and Leonse.
When you think of summer, you think of water, and when you think of water, a few streaks of white flash through Dorothy's mind.
Elor and Lyons each have their own unique features in terms of figure and appearance.
Dorothy also had several outfits in mind that would be suitable for them to wear in the summer.
It's a pity that those clothes can only be imagined in my mind; they can never be made.
Otherwise, Dorothy would definitely have been burned to a crisp.
Silently wiping the drool from the corner of her mouth, Dorothy lay on the bed and began to stare blankly.
At that moment, Leons walked over and pointed inside the room.
"There's a wooden tub inside. You haven't showered on the road yet, and you're all sticky. Would you like to wash up?"
Elor immediately stood up. "Want to come along?"
Leonce blushed slightly. "Okay."
Then the two of them looked at Dorothy together.
Dorothy lay on the bed and waved her hand.
"You two go first, I'll go later, it's a bit crowded with three people."
"Alright," Elor said with some regret.
After Elor and Lyons entered the inner room together.
Dorothy couldn't hold back any longer, her entire face turning bright red.
"What a joke, how could I possibly be with you guys..."
Dorothy muttered something under her breath and slowly closed her eyes.
However, at that moment, the faint sound of water could be heard from next door.
The sound was like a tiny hand constantly scratching at Dorothy's heart.
"..."
Dorothy's body thrashed about like a salted fish, and she raised her hands above her head, covering her ears with her arms.
"Wow, Leona...so cute..."
"Stop messing around, Elor, I'm going to fight back..."
The intermittent sounds of laughter only made Dorothy's mood more unsettled.
"Meditation...meditation..."
As he chanted, wisps of magic were condensed within his body.
Dorothy then felt her turbulent emotions slowly calming down.
I don't know how long I waited.
"Dorothy, we're done. Do you want to take a shower?"
Dorothy opened her eyes and got up, seeing Elor and Lyons walking out, drying their hair and wearing sheepskin towels around their necks.
She jumped out of bed and ran barefoot into the inner room.
A faint mist still hung in the air inside.
A few flower petals floated in the wooden tub filled with warm water.
Dorothy quickly took off her clothes. Instead of crawling into the tub, she used her water-making magic to conjure a ball of cold water.
Wow!
The cold water was poured all over her, and Dorothy instinctively shivered.
"hiss!"
The cold water made Dorothy gasp, but it also calmed her feverish body.
Looking down at the wet floor and a pair of feet pressed together.
"I'm still not used to it."
Dorothy picked up her wet hair with her hands.
The sight of the long, silver-gray hair made Dorothy's vision blur.
"Every time I look at this hair, I wonder, is this really me? Sigh."
Look at these thin arms and legs, this frail appearance. It's clearly my own body, yet it feels so unfamiliar.
After a moment of reflection, Dorothy shook her head and shook some of the water off her hair.
"Give yourself a good wash, then get a good night's sleep."
"Once we reach the Toughwood Forest, such conditions probably won't be available."
……
After resting for a night in Shimen Town.
The next morning, the three of them drove away.
[Wisdom: 156]
Dorothy sat beside Elor, continuing to allocate attribute points to Intelligence, while looking up at the rising mist around them.
This area belongs to the Silent Swamp, where the thick fog from the swamp's ponds drifts into the surrounding area.
Elor observed for a moment.
The road was covered by thick fog, making it difficult to see.
The field of vision is unlikely to exceed two meters.
"It's not easy to walk in this kind of weather."
As he spoke, Elor tightened the reins, slowing the camel down.
She raised her left hand, pointing it forward.
"Blow away the obstacles in your path, Wind Blade!"
An invisible blade of energy was launched from Elor's left hand.
Whoosh!
The wind blades stirred the thick fog, causing it to churn in front of the carriage, but it did not dissipate.
Seeing this, Elor withdrew his hand and said helplessly, "It seems that won't work. We'll have to wait until noon to leave."
By midday when the sun rises, the thick fog will have thinned considerably, even if it hasn't completely dissipated.
Elor took out a lacquer lamp from her storage space, lit it, and hung it on the carriage.
"Although such thick fog probably makes it impossible for anyone to continue walking, it's better to be safe than sorry."
The road they were traveling on was one of the trade routes, and when they set off from Shimen Town in the morning, they could see a caravan traveling together.
At this point, due to the fog, many convoys chose to stop moving forward.
Dorothy and her companions weren't carrying any cargo, and there were only three people on the cart, so they were the ones who went the deepest.
"Dorothy, look at where Kane and the others are now. They started a little earlier than us from the beginning. Hopefully, they haven't fallen too far behind."
Dorothy reached out and grasped the ring on her chest, channeling magic into it to begin sensing.
As magic continued to flow in, Dorothy's senses were stretched infinitely, and her gaze drifted into the distance.
At the very front, there was a lone communication ring, followed by three rings clustered together behind it, the two sides being no more than ten miles apart.
The one in front is Kane, and the three behind him are probably responsible for protecting him.
A moment later, Dorothy opened her eyes.
"They are ahead of us, more than 50 kilometers away, so we can't really sense them very clearly."
Upon hearing this distance, Elor frowned slightly.
"That far? Then he's already left Breeze Plains and isn't far from the kingdom's border."
Dorothy shrugged, nonchalantly saying, "Yeah, it looks like they're trying to leave us behind."
Dorothy didn't care.
Anyway, this mission was just an excuse for Leon to send them out to hide from the Rhine family, so it didn't matter whether they completed it or not.
As for Kane's safety, the three of them don't need to worry about it.
