The steam car is very noisy, popping and clanging.

The speed is not fast, it is more than forty miles.

It was also very bumpy, and of course it was also related to the bad road conditions. In this era when gravel roads are the mainstream, it is normal for the road surface to be uneven, especially now in late autumn when it is humid and rainy, and mud is also a common situation on the road.

Bad roads, broken cars, and the driver Sacco looks a little stinky fart. Because the car is his.

Kane was perfectly able to understand Sacco's sense of superiority and pride.

After all, for a young orc, having his own steam car is like driving a broken jeep in an era when most people rode bicycles.

It's not just about having money, it's about having power or access.

Sacco was the latter, his father was a veteran technician, and his grandfather was also a veteran technician, the kind that followed the gnomes.

He has also been exposed to it since he was a child, and he passed the qualification certification of assistant technician at a young age, which is almost equivalent to being born in the middle of the country for a half-orc, and was admitted to MIT.

So Sacco does have the capital of a stinky fart, and not just because of a steam car that doesn't know how to get it.

And he and Olaf, the half-orc kid whom Kane suspects to be the child of destiny, are small. The kind of friendship between the father and the son.

It is not difficult to speculate from this that Olaf's life experience is not simple, after all, things gather people in groups, and the three generations of Hammerstone are rare craftsmen among the orcs, which determines that in his life and work, even if he interacts with the coolie class, it is difficult to form a deep friendship.

It can even be said that even if it is a life-saving grace, if there is a huge disparity in social status, it will gradually drift apart due to the lack of common topics, and no matter how heavy the feelings, it will be difficult for each other's children to play together.

So, while Olaf was careful to protect his privacy, Sacco had a bit to show off, especially when the topic tickled him.

So the inadvertent information was revealed, and Kane quickly gained something.

This will naturally help him in how to get along with the child of destiny.

Moreover, Kane is also very careful about proportion, and does not use confusion control magic to achieve his goals.

Although strong, he is able to override the will of the whole world and take the child of destiny. But the final result of that is most likely to be the child of destiny being abandoned by the world.

This is what he doesn't want to see, and he still expects the Son of Destiny to guide him and join the ranks of the trendsetters of the times.

He believes that not only can he not interfere in a domineering manner, but he cannot even provide too much convenience.

strain their muscles and bones, starve their bodies, and empty their bodies......

This set is often the standard configuration of the child of destiny.

Especially in the early stage, it is through these tempering that the mud and sand can be washed away and the real gold can be seen.

"By the way, Brooks, where are you going?"

The one who asked Kane was Grum, a male orc who had muttered about Kane before.

Although they are friends, Kane is keenly aware that Groom's role in this small team is that of Sacco's follower.

But the actual status is stronger than that of his followers, because the beautiful female half-orc Yakali is his sister.

In terms of appearance, Groom is not inferior to his sister, and belongs to the type where the impact of his name is very different from his actual image.

However, Kane believes that Grum is more depressed than proud of his handsome face, because his beauty belongs to the feminine beauty, not to mention in the half-orc group, even in the human group, this beauty is easily called 'sissy', and only in the blood elf group, such beauty has a market.

The problem is that Groom didn't have the temperament common to a blood elf male who was intellectual, elegant, or arrogant, and his temperament was tacky.

To use a poisonous tongue as an analogy, if he pretends to be a woman and goes to the street with Yakali, then in the old driver's seriousness, Yakali will be the kind of high-end goods with little experience, and he can sleep until he earns, and he is an old bus that is suspected of being played badly, you can get on, but you have to beware of it.

Kane could feel that Olaf wasn't too interested in Groom.

Groom's treatment of Olaf is only superficially passable, the kind of 'for the sake of Sacco's face, I don't care about you'.

From this point of view, Sacco is less like the son of a craftsman, but more like the son of a merchant, in addition to loving to talk and behave, he also plays a very slippery game of social games, successfully acting as a lubricant between Sacco and Olaf, and can make all three people, including Yakali, grateful to him.

If Kane weren't more inclined to the child of fate, he should be the kind of character who is usually low-key and can always play at a high level at critical moments, and he will inevitably suspect that Sacco is the child of destiny, Liu Xiu, who is particularly powerful in terms of viewing and employing people.

And Yakali, in Kane's eyes, is a typical red face.

Externally, Yakali's appearance, coupled with the fact that orcs are generally discriminated against, can easily cause trouble.

Internally, Jacali clearly preferred Olaf, but enjoyed Sacco's thoughtfulness and ability to create a conversation, while traveling was less boring and talkative.

After all, Yakali is also a young girl with no experience, beauty is not her fault, she likes beautiful things, she likes to follow her feelings, and it is also a common characteristic of girls of this age, how can she force her, like a person who has come over, to understand that the relationship between the sexes is the most taboo and unclear, and should be selected in time, and the importance of not giving the rest of the hope and the opportunity to be wrong?

Anyway, in Kane's view, just because of this Yakali, this small group has already booked tickets for internal and external troubles, and then added adventure elements, demonic elements, and the framework of the road movie script entangled with grievances and grievances.

"I'm going to the Vergau Hills. Kane is also gambling when he says such an answer. Bet that Ofrah and his party are not going to the Elwin Forest area.

Although there are many large towns, people are generally more enlightened, and they are relatively friendly to orcs, it is unlikely to be the destination of Olaf and them.

Because of Olaf's depression and lack of interest in sightseeing and chatting, it shows that they have something to do, not an ordinary, young, half-adventure, half-playful trip.

And, according to Kane's profile analysis of Olaf, Olaf's sullenness was in no way caused by unpleasant interactions with the locals in Lakeside Town.

Olaf is not so stingy, and he will not affect his mood too much because of this kind of thing, not to mention that what they encountered in Lakeside Town was only some verbal discrimination, all of them said that they were people who left their hometowns, not to mention half-orcs, but ordinary travelers, and they definitely had a high psychological estimate of this kind of problem, so how could they be angry?

After making such a judgment and further speculating about the purpose and destination of Olaf's trip, Kane believes that it is neither a good thing nor a good place.

Olaf's gloom and unhappiness came not only from what he had to do, but also from his sense of responsibility to the rest of the group, after all, he was the one who pulled them into the water, and he was under pressure.

Taking this as background information, Kane analyzed it and concluded that the Olaf Xenomorph's final destination was the most likely to be in the Twilight Forest region.

If it's farther away, say to the Valley of Thorns, then it shouldn't be by car, but by airship.

The Lands of the Damned, the Swamp of Sorrows, are also not suitable for driving, mainly because these places are dangerous, and the upwind trail area where Medivan's Tower Karazhan is located is a dangerous pass, the roads are dangerous, and the creatures that infest it are also dangerous, and there are still hordes of ogres entrenched there. It is said that there are even demons left over from the Legion's Temporary Period.

Therefore, if it is to go to the Swamp of Sorrow or the Land of the Damned, Olaf and their small gang of four people are a bit out of place, especially Yakali, can they still shout cheers when they encounter evil people and evil things?

It was with this in mind that Kane believed that the most likely place for Olaf to go was the Twilight Forest area.

Although it can also be called the rear of the Stormwind Kingdom, due to frequent disasters and wars, a large number of people have been withdrawn, so that the rear is empty, and there are all kinds of bad things that have been taken advantage of.

Red Ridge Mountain was taken advantage of by the Blackstone Mountain forces led by Nefarian, and became a place for breeding black young dragons and hybrid dragons.

The Twilight Forest, on the other hand, is eroded by darkness and is even more mysterious and gloomy.

Although according to the latest information, this was already hundreds of years ago, and then the Storm Kingdom eased up and vigorously rectified it.

After several generations of efforts, the undead creatures in the Quiet Garden Cemetery area have been completely eradicated, the werewolves entrenched in the Rotten Orchard area have also been hunted and killed, the ogres entrenched in the Volgu Hills have also been driven to the Valley of Thorns, and even the most troublesome and almost brewing catastrophe in the Crow Ridge Cemetery has become a real life garden and soul habitat.

Kane knew that the power of darkness was difficult to govern and eradicate, and the environmental characteristics of the Twilight Forest determined that darkness was easy to breed there.

Darkness is not only hidden in the dark corners of the room, but also in the depths of the dense forest outside, and it can also lie dormant in the depths of the human heart.

And, the darkness is super patient.

Therefore, Kane has reason to believe that there is already a deadly undercurrent surging in the Twilight Forest area today, beneath the seemingly peaceful surface.

So, Groom asked, and he gave him the name of Raven Ridge, and he really planned to go there.

The Child of Destiny doesn't need the Virgin's pampering, and he doesn't find an excuse to linger on the fence.

What he arranged for himself was the kind of drama of 'fate separates us and meets again', when he leaves, he will silently pay attention, and then reappear at the right time, come and go, and the relationship deepens.

On the contrary, even if you don't think he has a plan, you will be bored with this kind of dog skin plaster that can't be shaken off.

Sure enough, when he said 'I'm going to Raven Ridge,' Groom let out a 'tsk!' sound, glanced at Olaf next to him, and stopped talking.

Olaf took over and said, "We will go to Jugan Town, theoretically with you all the way, but we have some special secrets, it is not convenient to carry you all the way, and the farthest can only be to send you to Night City." ”

Kane smiled and replied, "If it's not convenient, just take me to the three forks, and I can take a boat down the Dark River all the way west and enter from the north side of Raven Ridge." ”

When Grum heard this, he hurriedly responded: "This idea is good, taking a boat is better than taking a car, it is not affected by bumps, and the journey is safe." ”

Kane was still laughing, but didn't answer.

Olaf shook his head and said to Kane in a sincere tone: "Let me tell me what I know, and if I offend you, please don't be angry, and use it as a reference." As far as I know, Raven Ridge was called a long time ago. Now it's called Ping'an Town. ”

After a pause, Olaf continued: "Ping An Town, not Ping An. One of my comrades-in-arms, a native of Ping'an Town in the Twilight Forest, had an accident at home, rushed back, and never returned. I do not have the authority to investigate the relevant information, but I can be sure that it is not an ordinary incident. Because that comrade-in-arms was close to a few of us before leaving, he was somewhat thorough. ”

Olaf added: "To the north of Ping'an Town is a huge cemetery. I'm sure you should have some idea of there as well. It started as a funeral business, and it is very famous, and even many people in Stormwind were willing to send their deceased relatives there for burial. Until now, Ping'an Cemetery is the largest cemetery in the kingdom. ”

"In the years of frequent wars, the rear was empty, and terrible things happened there, which were later vigorously rectified. But in recent years, there have been many bad news such as disappearances, special diseases, and attacks by wild animals. And the north side of the cemetery, all the way to the Dark River, is a deserted area that is inaccessible and for safety reasons, I don't recommend disembarking there. ”

"If you have to take a boat, I suggest you take a detour to the junction of the Darkwater and the Angry Waters, trace the river upstream, and then follow the mainland from the south side of Mortwick to Raven Ridge. More than two days trip, but safe. ”

"Or maybe it's a good long bus ride from Nighttown. I heard that the people of Night City, because of historical reasons, are relatively open-minded and less hostile to outsiders, including our race. And the three-way ......"

Olaf shook his head and said meaningfully: "You have to be careful of those who drive and sail, especially if you are a traveler who only travels on the road. ”

Kane smiled and said, "In these years, even in our clan, there are not many people as kind as you, and I am really lucky to meet them." As the saying goes, listen to people's persuasion and eat well. I'll listen to you, go to Night City, and then take the long bus. ”

Grum, who was across Olaf, pouted on the other side of the carriage and muttered, "Whoa!

In fact, he wanted Kane, an outsider, to get out of the way as soon as possible, but in his small gang, his right to speak was not very good, even if he had a little thin noodles, he had to use it in key places, rather than wasting it on an outsider who didn't like it.

So he picked a thorn in his words.

It's also Kane's fault, the superior has been in power for a long time, and unconsciously, his words have a tone of commentary. What are you talking about these years, people are not ancient, and I don't look at how old he is playing, he is old-fashioned when he speaks at a young age, doesn't it look like he is pretending.

Grum's muttering, Olaf heard something, didn't say anything, but remembered it in his heart. He hated this kind of person who only talked little and was happy. Sacco, who was driving, showed a thoughtful expression, and then sensed the gaze from the side, so he turned his head, put on a gentle smile, and asked thoughtfully: "How about it, do you want to breathe, and after a while, the sun will completely go down, I guess you won't be interested in getting out of the car......"
