Chapter 17: The Other End of the Mountain
In Qiankun, the game map and the real world map are mostly overlapped (of course, the game world is twice as large as the real world), for example, the Antarctic continent is a continent covered with ice and snow like reality, and the terrain of "Huaxia" has five famous mountains like the terrain of real China.
But this is not the case with the "gospel." In order to have a refreshing feeling, instead of copying the real world, the continent uses the system to randomly generate a new world, and although the area has changed proportionally like other servers, the terrain has completely changed. In addition to the Via Ferrata Mountains, which run from east to west, there is also the "Angry Horse of Heaven" waterfall with an altitude difference of 3,000 meters, the rattlesnake wasteland covering an area the size of a state in reality, the White Coconut Bay, a tourist attraction full of different styles, and the world's largest coral island "Leviathan...... All kinds of unimaginable special scenes are provoking the nerves of players, which are visual feasts that the boring real world can't give.
The Via Cord Mountains bifurcate slightly to the east of the continent, creating a small valley known as the Blackstone Valley, the homeland of the Salamonro people. To the north, the ridge still belongs to the main vein of the Via Rope Mountains, and its movements are majestic and terrifying, reaching into the starry ocean, as if to pull the ocean up; The winding ridge to the south is called the "Ring of Fractures" because it resembles a broken link in a chain. This gentle ridge is the perfect place for beginner climbers to climb to the top of the Via Fernandes, known as the "Key Mountain".

This is at the foot of the "Broken Ring", and a small town is quietly rising with cooking smoke, and it seems that it is already lunchtime. The residents met on the road, said a few words, and then went home to eat, after all, hunger waits for no one. The aroma of the various meals wafted in the wind, causing the guards guarding the town gates to twitch their noses and drool non-stop.
"Maybe we should propose to the boss to change shifts half an hour early!" The guard muttered, picking at the pimples on his face.
The more mature guard standing across from him frowned and scolded, "What are you doing in a daze! Be careful! As he spoke, he pulled out a browned dough from his pocket and nibbled it with relish.
The pimple guard shouted: "Uncle, how can you be like this! It's too disrespectful! β
"Don't call me uncle, asshole! I'm only five years older than you! The old Cheng guard swallowed the dough in two or two, stretched out his tongue and licked the crumbs at the corner of his mouth: "This is given by your sister-in-law, if you are envious, hurry up and marry a girl!" β
"Humph, woman! I don't want it, it costs so much money, I can't afford it. The pimple guard said nonchalantly, "Also, when I passed by your house last night, I heard you arguing with your auntβ"
"Shhhh A stranger is coming! The old guard's eyes sharpened, interrupting the pimple guard's words, and clenched the rusty weapon. The pimple guard hurriedly looked in the direction of the visitor and swallowed a mouthful of saliva.
It was a dusty young man. He carried a strange-looking cane, the end of which was stained with dirt and grass juice, apparently for trekking in the woods; Wearing a strange hat, one can't help but wonder how ugly the hairstyle must be to use this hat to cover up one or two; Wearing a travel cloak that was so indistinguishable from a cane and a hat that it was covered with blades of grass and dust, it made people suspect that this guy had not walked here, but had rolled down from the mountains.
"Stop, outlander!" The old guard shouted!
"Yes, stop!" The pimple guards also drew their weapons and pointed at the young man, spitting his saliva all over the place.
In front of the blade, the young man raised his hands and showed a slightly stiff smile: "I have no malice!" I'm coming from afar, just passing through here, wanting to refill some drinking water, and I won't stay long! β
The old guard stepped forward, pinched the shriveled water bladder on the young man's waist, and then returned a weapon that pressed down the pimple guard, and said angrily: "Hell, if you run into a high-ranking soldier, this impolite action is enough for you to die a hundred times!" You know, those strong don't like the law! β
After teaching the juniors, the guard said coldly: "What's your name, stranger?" β
The young man blinked: "Ah, my name is ...... Schroeder Bray, hehe, you can call me Schroeder. β
"An adventurer, with that name...... Well, here's your pass. The old guard grabbed the weapon in one hand and handed over a small round badge in the other. Since you said you won't stay long, this pass is only three days, enough to refill your water and prepare your map! If I see you again in three days' time, I won't be polite! β
The young man took the badge and nodded, "Thank you." Then he walked past the guards and into the town.
The pimple guard elbowed the old guard: "Hey, don't pretend to be so old-fashioned, I know you rarely be so fierce to outsiders." β
"You don't understand." The old guard stared at the young man's back, and his brows never relaxed: "This is a very dangerous guy." He smelled of the dead...... Look at his cane, and there's a black gem at the end of it, which is the sign of a necromancer. β
The pimple guards were picking at the pimples, and with a trembling hand, they picked out the pimples, and the blood quickly flowed out. He didn't care about this small wound, and asked in a panic: "Necromancer!" Why would a necromancer come to our little place?! β
"How do I know! Perhaps, it has something to do with that black cloud...... "The old guard pointed meaningfully to the top of the mountain, where there was a black cloud, like a black curtain that would fall on this side of the mountain at any time.
The pimple guards were dumbfounded.
The old Cheng guard patted this guy's head, spat on the corner of the wall, and walked back to the door: "Although it looks like he's just a rookie, don't think about touching him, who knows what evil magic those guys know." In short, don't worry about your own affairs, so that you can live longer! β

After a difficult trek for most of the day, and being checked by several NPCs, Qingyi was able to step into the town. Out of the corner of his eye, he glanced at the mid-level guard who looked to be thirty or forty years old, and was a little puzzled: "The game has been revised?" I remember I wouldn't have been questioned before...... Did he recognize me as a necromantic creature? Forget it, let's go to the hotel and stay at the hotel first. Since it's a small town, I'm afraid there's no place to go back to the city. β
Surveying around with a little curiosity, our Necromantic King made his way to the largest and only inn in town. The signature of this inn is a chubby duck, which is very interesting.
"Ah, how long does it take for Uncle Ben to speak?"
"Shut up, Xue Duo!"
"I'm sure I'm shutting up, but we Shadow Fiends don't speak with our mouths...... Well, that's a 'phenomenon'......"
ββ¦β¦ Please shut up. β
"Well, since you're begging meβhey, why are you walking so fast! I didn't mean to be angry with you, don't get me wrong! Hey, hey! It's stingy! β
