Chapter 22 Cliff Town in the Valley of Heroes
Duro patiently explained, word by word:
"Since the connection between humans and gods was almost severed, the number of professional manuals in this world has been decreasing with each use."
"But all churches insist that God has never fallen silent and will continue to send divine pronouncements to guide the world."
Yue Feng was furious.
"Where did you learn that broken Tu language? It's so inaccurate!"
The other person rattled off a long string of words, and Yue Feng could barely make out a few fragmented phrases.
Previously, the two had been engaging in cryptic "spiritual dialogues," and could barely communicate through hand gestures.
It's nothing more than signaling to each other what to do and who to deal with.
However, when it comes to explaining certain knowledge, they are completely stumped.
Just like when I was in English class as a child, I could understand "you" and "what" in just one sentence.
"I'm sorry... I've never actually learned the Tu language. My ancestors were of the Elemental lineage."
Duro scratched his nose awkwardly, looking somewhat embarrassed.
"But by my generation, there is very little elemental power left in my bloodline, and I can only understand a few words at most."
Upon hearing this, Yue Feng was taken aback.
So it turns out they're two illiterate people communicating in sign language.
"I didn't expect us to be so in sync."
As he spoke, he plopped down on John and cast a spell: changing his body shape.
The "spare tire" on her stomach slowly extended outwards, and her entire upper body also burrowed into her large stomach, eventually forming a rectangular pot lid shape.
A muffled thud was heard.
Like closing a coffin lid, John was slammed to the ground.
"Um...you don't have claustrophobia, do you?"
Yue Feng just asked casually.
The fact that John was allowed to lie down and rest is already considered humanitarian.
If we were to mold him into rock shackles and lock him up for the night, it would only delay our journey the next day.
"Alright, you all go to sleep. I'll keep watch tonight."
Earth elements don't need to sleep; they simply don't have that function.
"No wonder my kind all look so silly and cute, it's because they're sleep-deprived."
Late at night, Yue Feng told jokes to pass the time.
Ding!
The goddess of harvest, Semina, casts a glance your way.
Your good deed has been recognized.
Gain Blessing: Seedling Blessing Lv1
【Protection: Sowing Protection lv1】The seeds you sow will grow more abundantly, and their resistance to disease, bacteria, cold, and drought will increase slightly.
It is said that where Semina lives, there is a vast, golden sea of wheat.
—If you have time in the future, please come and clean my temple.
Yue Feng: ? ? ? ?
"I received the blessing just like that, all fresh and beautiful?"
"And that last part, is it about me cleaning the temple?"
He held the forepaw segment of the rock spider in his hand, completely baffled.
............
The next morning, the morning mist slowly rose, spreading over the meadows and streams.
A cool morning breeze swept across the land, making it the perfect time to set off on our journey.
They were very lucky.
On the way back, we didn't encounter any dangerous monsters or other unexpected events.
Because they were traveling light, it only took them a day and a half to leave the deep mountains and forests and arrive at the main road where there were signs of human activity.
This was all thanks to John, who, as a bandit, was quite familiar with the area.
Looking into the distance, a broken cliff stretches across the horizon.
Do not!
Rather than a cliff, it's more like seeing the edge of the world.
The horizon seemed to be neatly torn apart from the map by an invisible hand, stretching infinitely to both sides.
Yue Feng looked left and right, but couldn't see the end of the road.
A human city-state was built on the edge of a cliff, and the lights of millions of houses shone brightly in the dead of night.
"That's Cliff Town in the Valley of Heroes. We'll be there soon."
Valley of the Brave.
As the name suggests, it is a valley that was cleaved open by a hero's sword.
That's at least what adults say when they're teasing children.
Legend has it that hundreds of years ago, this land was a continuous landmass without any cliffs separating it.
But for some unknown reason, a human hero passed by this place and unleashed a peerless sword technique capable of killing a god, forcefully cleaving open this insurmountable chasm.
Some say that the hero was a god slayer.
Some people even say that he once killed a demon king with a single sword strike.
But no matter how the legendary hero is described.
He did indeed cleave away most of the southwestern border of the Palafro Empire with a single sword strike.
Now, the area east of the Valley of Heroes has become the new border of the empire.
To this end, the royal family of the Pallavian Empire spent approximately two centuries moving the entire capital hundreds of kilometers to the northeast.
Duanya Town.
It is a border town on the southwestern border of the Palefro Empire, famous for its abundant mineral resources.
Numerous small villages are situated on the north and south sides of the town.
Ordinary people here rely on minerals for survival, but rarely mine.
To be precise, there is no need to search for mineral veins in the mountains and fields.
The cliffs that stretch across the Valley of the Brave from north to south are the natural mineral veins upon which they depend for survival.
Mineral prospectors in this area only need to find traces of veins on the cliff face.
Workers who came to quarry and mine would spontaneously gather together, gradually forming small villages.
Even the children here have to learn rock climbing skills from a young age.
When they go out to play on weekdays, they can pick up a few pieces of coal at random. The accumulated amount over time is enough to support a family for several weeks of winter.
After Du Luo showed his merchant identity, the group successfully entered the cliff town.
After entering the city, the group parted ways and went their separate ways.
Duro, Yue Feng, and John, who was tied up, became an eye-catching sight on the street.
This town is far more prosperous than Huangsui Town. Even though it is late at night and almost dawn, many shops are still open as usual.
But this place gave Yue Feng a feeling that it had a touch of romance.
Aren't there a lot of "snack streets" here?
"Wow, you're so strong, buddy! Want to come in and have some fun?"
The soft, sweet voices drifted into Du Luo's ears, sending shivers of pleasure through his body.
"Cough cough, no, no."
Du Luo lowered his head in embarrassment and politely declined each offer.
He avoided the predatory stares, quickly grabbed the earth elemental, and hurried out onto the street.
Before long, the two and the earth elemental arrived at a place called the Ruby Inn.
Next to the hotel was a tavern with a neat and uniform decor.
It is called: Emerald Tavern.
Yue Feng secretly observed the two shops. Judging from their layout and decor, the owners were most likely either brothers or a husband and wife.
The owner of the Ruby Inn was a male dwarf with short, dark brown hair and a large, bushy beard.
His beard was braided into a rough, dirty style, hanging down to his chest and abdomen, giving him a very capable look.
Duro pushed open the door of the inn and casually said to the dwarf at the counter:
"Tom, same as usual, give me a single room."
When the innkeeper Tom saw that it was Duro walking in, he quickly waved and greeted him.
But then they saw a man who was tightly bound behind him, his eyes wide open.
"So you're the kid... Never mind, I'm too lazy to ask any more questions."
"There's only one rule: don't break the beds in my shop."
Duro: ? ? ? ?
