Chapter 080. Arrive at the Solid Stone Pass
The captain of the building looked sincere.
Kant, on the other hand, was slightly stunned.
He was a little puzzled as to why Fatis's father had gone around in a big circle not through the construction workers from Suno, but for these construction workers from Viruga, the kingdom of Rhodok, to deliver letters home.
This is undoubtedly redundant, redundant.
On the retina, the system's dialog box pops up suddenly.
γDing... Temporary Task Release]
[Temporary Mission: Fatis's Letter Home]
[Reward: Doubling Recruitment (Constant)]
[Introduction: Family affection is an indelible feeling, when the wanderer is still looking for redemption, the old father who has gray sideburns, but longs for the child who has made a mistake to return to his side. γ
Ad-hoc tasks appear.
Kant first swept the introduction, and couldn't help but sigh softly: "That's right." β
As the introduction says.
This is the old father with gray sideburns, and his concern for the child who has made a mistake.
He understands the plot, and he knows the story of Fatis as well.
The eldest son, who was originally radiant and was given the most love and sustenance by his old father, accidentally killed his own brother because of a dissolute courtesan, and when he came back to his senses, he was in great pain and chose to self-exile in search of redemption.
But isn't the old man, who is their brother's father, more sad in his heart?
For his part, Fatis lost his brother.
For his father, he lost two sons.
With the passage of time, time has diluted the estrangement, and the old man, who is a nobleman, has entered his old age, and he is always worried about his son who has made mistakes, hoping to return to his side, inherit the family, and start over.
"I'll pass this letter on to Fatis."
Kant spoke, reaching out and picking up the thin letter and placing it on his chest.
"Thank you very much for your help, my lord." The construction leader hurriedly bent down and saluted.
After all, asking Kant, who is a nobleman, to help deliver the letters, is tantamount to rude to a commoner like him, and if he encounters an old stubborn man with a bad temper, it is absolutely possible to let the soldiers next to him drag him down and whip him a few times.
"It's fine." Kant waved his hand.
Turning his head to look out the window, the night was already dark.
The light of the stars and the moon sprinkled like a veil of tulle to the world.
"Let's all rest."
Kant stood up and walked towards the second floor.
Manid and the 5 Salander riders followed, all sleeping on the second floor.
After all, it's a post station, and it can occasionally be used as a hotel, and there are three rooms on the second floor, and it's 3 chase shops to clean up, not to mention them, even if the 10 desert robbers come over, they can sleep open.
But for the sake of safety, it is better to have 10 desert bandits on the first floor.
The soldiers had no objection to the arrangement, and the construction workers did not dare to have any objections.
They brought blankets with them in Viruga, and spread them on the ground, not to mention the fireplace in the living room, and the burning wood gave off enough heat to make it much better than sleeping in a sandpit.
Coming to the second floor, Kant had his own room.
He said goodnight to Manid and the five Salander riders, closed the door and lay down on the wooden bed.
Didn't take off your clothes.
Kant reached out and touched the letter in his arms.
His face was a little gloomy.
Although he simply agreed when there were many people, he was a little hesitant now, because Kant did not know if he would choose to leave if he handed this letter to Fatis, his current general.
Nothing like this has ever happened in a game, because it's a procedurally controlled virtual world.
But now it's the real world.
Fatis has his own thoughts, his own beliefs, and he also has remorse for his dead brother, as well as guilt for his old father, and may really leave the sentry oasis and return to Suno in the system.
Now, let's be honest.
Kant did not want to give the letter to Fatis, even if the temporary mission failed.
"Double the recruitment."
Sweeping over the task reward above, Kant squinted slightly.
Even if the recruited troops can be doubled, it can't catch up with the value of Fatis at all.
This is a knight from a military aristocracy who is familiar with the troop configuration and combat policy of the Svadia Kingdom, which is equivalent to the general who will lead the Svadia troops in the future, how can he be let go at will?
With a heavy exhalation, Kant had a haze in his eyes: "Trouble." β
Compared to the virtual world where data is king, reality is really troublesome.
Manid and the soldiers, as well as the construction workers, saw Kant take the letter.
Even if Kant could order them not to speak out, Fatis's father could entrust this construction team and other construction teams, and he couldn't hide it for long.
"Forget it, it's just a letter."
Kant closed his eyes and simply didn't think about these troubles.
Fatis's character, he understood, was definitely the standard of a knight of justice.
In the entrepreneurial stage of the Sentry Oasis, at the most difficult time, he, a general with high hopes, chose to leave, which may leave an indelible impact on his heart.
Opening his eyes, Kant closed them again.
He knew that Fatis was a good man.
The night froze.
The light from the inn shines through the windows and onto the sand outside.
Little by little, time passed.
In the distance, the sky lit up with a touch of fish white.
At dawn.
In the kitchen of the inn, the smell of food has appeared.
Desert robbers bake bread and dried meat over the charcoal fire in the fireplace.
And just outside the inn, the construction workers of Virugalai, who had finished unloading the materials on the wagon, were busy with their tools, and carefully began to dig a well next to the inn.
Kant also woke up.
Walking down the stairs, Manid was arranging chores.
After a few conversations, he asked the Salander riders and the desert robbers to come over for breakfast.
They still have a lot to do.
"Your Lord, you're leaving?" The construction leader was also a little surprised.
Kant nodded: "That's right, you work hard here, we have left some food and water, and I see that you also have your own bread and water, so what is left is air-dried meat." β
"Thank you so much, generous lord."
The construction leader immediately bent down and thanked him.
Kant chuckled: "Dig the well, and when we come back from afar, we hope to drink the clear water from the well." β
"Absolutely." The construction leader nodded gratefully.
Without further ado, Kant continued to lead the team.
This post was only one of the missions, and even after Kant reached the Solid Pass, he would survey the surrounding Sanwaya Mountains to find an open space where a lumber yard could be arranged, so that camel caravans and farmers could come and cut the timber and transport it back.
Charcoal is absolutely indispensable in the process of boiling refined white salt.
The sun rises and time passes.
Early morning, morning, noon, afternoon, dusk.
Just as the sun was slanting in the west, emitting layers of dim light and dyeing the desert golden, the Sanwaya Mountains, which were still like a majestic dragon, were already close at hand.
Kant's route was right.
And as he gazed into the distance, in the coherent Sanwaya Mountains, a gap appeared abruptly.
It is said that it was a canyon that appeared out of the wrath of the gods.
But now, it is the only passage that can be connected between the Naren Desert and the North County of the Lion Principality.
The Solid Stone Pass is located in it.
Built on the south side of the canyon, near the Lion Principality, it is not a strong and defensive castle built entirely of stone and wood from the Sanwaya Mountains, but it is more than enough to deal with the gnolls who have no siege weapons and few armor and iron weapons.
"We're here."
Leading Manid and the cavalry onward, Kant breathed a sigh of relief.
The wide canyon is right in front of you.
The fractures of the mountains on both sides are quite smooth, as if they were cut and removed, forming two cliffs.
The yellow sand has spread into the canyon with the wind.
There are crumbling stones and sand everywhere, and there are many dead trees that have fallen from the cliffs on the top of the mountain, and not many people have cleaned them up, and they have been piled up here for many years, making the road a little troublesome to walk.
The canyon space, which is simply close to a kilometer, is quite empty.
The horse rode a short distance.
Just a kilometer in front of them, a stone wall built against the cliffs on both sides of the solid stone pass appeared in front of them.
