Would they not get lost if they had a map?
For a transmigrator to achieve this, the first thing they had to do was to get rid of the concept of electronic maps.
First of all, the definition of a road in the Lost Land was quite vague. Unlike most countries on Earth, where roads were paved with asphalt and marked with road markings, the roads in the Lost Land were the embodiment of the phrase, where people walked a lot, they became roads.
It was normal when one thought about it. The roads on Earth were designed to accommodate high-speed cars. The roads in the Lost Land were for people to walk. Whether it was stairs or walls, as long as people had a way to pass through them, they were considered roads and would be recorded on the map. In other words, the roads drawn on the map were not limited to carriages. Of course, not all roads would be recorded.
The traditional hand-drawn maps of the Lost Land only showed where a certain road would lead to. This kind of information could be trusted. Therefore, to read the map of the Lost Land, one could not find a certain road and follow it to a certain place. This kind of method would not work in the Lost Land.
Lin had lived in the Lost Land for a long time before he gradually got used to reading the map of the Lost Land. Basically, the most important thing on a map of the Lost Land was not the direction, but the obvious landmarks drawn on the map.
It could be a mountain or a river. Of course, the gathering place of the Homo sapiens were also important landmarks. These landmarks indicated where the reader of the map was in the real world, so that they could determine whether they had gone in the wrong direction.
Therefore, the roads were not important.
All along, Lin and his team had chosen the roads that could be passed by carriages. Basically, following such a road and following the positioning of some major landmarks would prevent them from going to strange places.
However, if they encountered a fork in the road that could also be passed by carriages, but there were no landmarks and they were not separated from the major landmarks, how should they choose?
"Halloumi, take out the lucky gold coin and throw it." This was someone's decision.
He did not waste his breath on the two girls who were leading the way and driving the carriage. If it was the same everywhere, he would leave it to God to decide. He especially let the two girls toss the coin until they were satisfied. Lin hid in the carriage and continued his research. Otherwise, no matter what he chose, there would be people who would disagree. He really wanted to die.
However, to the two girls who were leading the way and the carriage, the path chosen by the lucky gold coin became stranger and stranger.
There were clear wheel tracks on the ground. It was obvious that they were new tracks, and it looked like there were continuous carriages. However, the environment of the road did not look like a place that people would pass by often. The weeds that covered the road, the branches that blocked the road, and the trees that covered the sky made the road looked quite dark. In addition, the road was winding, if they did not look carefully.
There were even a few places where the roof of the carriage would get stuck if they did not untie the two horses and Halloumi's plant control magic. Otherwise, the carriage would get stuck in between the trees, unable to even make a turn.
After overcoming a series of obstacles, they finally, the road was clear. They also discovered a village hidden behind a small path in the forest.
Looking at the architectural style of the village and the appearance of the residents, this should not be a barbarian tribe. Of course, of course, of course, the barbarians, they were not so friendly. Although the group of people was just passing by in the carriage and looking from afar, the villagers stared at the strangers with vigilant eyes.
Hearing the two girls report that they had come to a new human gathering place, Lin did not continue to hide in the carriage. Instead, he sat in the driver's seat. However, looking at the atmosphere here, as well as the looks of the men who stood out. There was a bit of greed in their eyes, but more than that, there was a fierce look in their eyes. This made Lin wonder if he had walked into a den of thieves.
No matter where this place was. Since the other party did not welcome him, Lin was happy to save the effort of dealing with them and planned to leave. Anyway, this place did not give him a good feeling.
However, before the carriage could go far, it was stopped by a group of people. It was completely different from the bandits he had imagined. This was a group of seemingly honest villagers gathered together. They were respectful, but their actions were rough as they stopped the carriage. Although the leader had white hair, he was very strong. If he was given a set of armor and weapons, he would probably be able to go in and out of the battlefield.
This old man represented the group and said, "Excuse me, are the people in the carriage Lord Magicians?"
Although they were not wearing their signature little cape, the aura of a Magician was not something that ordinary people could learn. This was also why some of the more knowledgeable people could guess the true identity of Lin and the others. Of course, there were times when they were wrong, but the other party was polite and did not offend anyone.
Hallumi did not hide anything, but she still corrected the other party and said, "My teacher is a Magician. I am just an apprentice, so there is no need to call me Lord. What do you want? "
"That's great, Lords. Our village urgently needs your help. Please do not hesitate to lend a helping hand. "The old man lowered his head and said excitedly. The others who followed also lowered their heads, but there was a hint of reluctance.
Seeing the old man's attitude, Hallumi did not doubt him. She got off the horse and asked, "Sir, what is it? Please speak slowly. "
"Yes, yes, Lord. It's like this. In the depths of a cave in our village, a powerful magical creature has appeared. It has caused many casualties, but there is nothing we can do. We hope that Lord can help us suppress the magical creature. The villagers will be grateful. "
"Okay, no problem." Hallumi raised her head proudly and patted her chest. But she turned her head and asked, "Teacher, we have no problems, right?"
"Miss, you have already agreed. What do you want me to say?" He really wanted to complain or teach this girl a lesson for acting on her own. However, Lin still nodded without batting an eyelid. He did not say anything and pretended to be an expert. This village was full of strange things. It was not a bad idea to let the girl be the vanguard and test this group of people.
Once she received her teacher's approval, Hallumi began to give orders enthusiastically. She had Kaya stop the carriage under a tree and untie the horses to let them relax. Because the next task was not going to be over in a moment.
While she had Kaya prepare for battle, Hallumi also actively asked the old man in the village for information. Unfortunately, she did not get any useful information. The old man only had a bitter face and kept talking about how miserable his life was.
Meanwhile, a certain someone was silently preparing for battle. At the same time, he was observing the peculiarities of this village. Looking at the unmoving golden skeleton in the carriage, Lin asked, "How is it? Do you want to come out for a walk? "
Fen, on the other hand, ignored everyone and sat there quietly. Those who did not know would probably think of her as a dead object, a strange hobby and collection of some magicians. But Lin guessed that she was probably immersed in her coffin again.
When everything was ready, under the guidance of the old man, the three of them arrived at the cave where the monsters roamed. Or rather, it should be called … the mine.
Traveling in the maze, one would often see abandoned mines. This was thanks to the many races in this world that loved to dig. Not considering the underground races, most surface races did not have good mining skills, unlike on Earth, where hundreds of meters of mines were dug.
These abandoned mines would naturally become the habitat of magical beasts, or the temporary residence of some uncivilized races. Sometimes, the underground races would dig through the ground and become a passage for them to invade the surface.
But this mine … didn't look like it was abandoned.
Seeing this, Lin had some understanding in his heart. What he did not understand was what they wanted to do.
Just as the group cheered and thanked them, Lin and the two of them walked into the cave.
It was natural for the magicians to give themselves support magic when they went on an adventure. Halloumi, who was in the lead, raised her short wand and released a faint light to illuminate the tunnel.
In fact, the three of them had already experienced this kind of crusade countless times. But back then, their opponents were uncivilized goblins and there were occasional surprises. Now, it was an unknown magical creature. But the three of them were not the same as before. Not only were they much stronger than they were six or seven years ago, but they were also much more confident.
Just by looking at Halloumi walking quietly in the front like a cat, one could tell how confident this girl was.
According to the standard operation in the past, they would first summon an earth elemental cannon fodder to walk in front. Although it could act as a meat shield and effectively avoid being ambushed, because in the dim vision, the ambushers would usually attack when they saw movement. Plus, the terrain was limited, so they would not deliberately wait for the group to pass by and attack from the middle. But it was not without its disadvantages.
It was easy to alert the enemy. Sometimes, there were annoying area traps that the elemental sprites did not know how to detect or avoid, such as rolling ball traps and flame flasks. Sometimes, an elemental sprite that was too big would also obstruct the narrow vision of the tunnel.
In short, there were pros and cons to using a summoned creature to open a path. In the past, they would summon the lowest level earth elemental to be the vanguard because they wanted to preserve their lives and ignored some tactical advantages and convenience.
But now that they had become stronger, they had to rely on a low-level summoned creature that they could easily defeat. It was better to do it themselves. Halloumi held on to this confidence and carefully walked in front to open a path.
Suddenly, the sound of chopping wood came from behind. The girl who was fully focused on the front was stunned for a moment. She looked back at the entrance of the tunnel in confusion. The villagers were struggling to pull the ropes tied to the pillars at the entrance of the tunnel. At the same time, they were using large wooden mallets to hit the base of the pillar.
The two girls wanted to go back and ask the villagers what was going on and why they were acting so strangely. But before they could, Lin grabbed the two apprentices' waists first. One on each side, they rushed into the tunnel.
In the next second, the entrance of the tunnel collapsed! At the same time, there was a rumbling sound and a large cloud of dust.
