Chapter 522 Rotten Swamp (Part 1)

"Everyone, you should have heard what 'Earl Brenda' said just now." George, who was sitting on the chair with his legs crossed, looked at them with a half-smile and said: "But I want to make one point - what you did today Everything will be free of charge - it can only offset the fines and punishments imposed on you by the Cathedral."

The word 'Brenda' did not seem to make the adventurers directly think of that legendary figure. And they never imagined that such a legendary figure would follow someone like an aide.

But the word "offset punishment" made them all hang their heads and say nothing more - today was simply the worst day. In their hearts, the whole world seemed to have turned gray. And this is the only road left in front of us.

After seeing these people nodding, George said with satisfaction: "Of course, if you do equally well tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, and are willing to sign a long-term employment agreement, I think Lord Salman will help you. Those friends will pay the pensions they deserve, and you will also receive the rewards you deserve."

"Are you serious?!" The leading adventurer couldn't help but widen his eyes.

The three words Salman are indeed more effective than any name.

After hearing these words, many adventurers looked at the fat noble next to George in disbelief. After they repeatedly looked at Count Salman's fat face, they felt more and more that this nobleman's figure was very similar to the legendary Lord Salman.

And the respectful attitude of the Canglan knights behind this noble towards him was not fake.

Suddenly, what George said to them suddenly became extremely true.

The fat man in front of them suddenly became a light that pierced the dark world in the hearts of the adventurers, filling their hearts with hope and fear at the same time.

Count Salman did not reply to the adventurers, but asked the leader's name: "What's your name?"

"My name is 'Paul', my lord!"

"Okay, Paul." Earl Salman nodded and said, "I guarantee that this reward will definitely be more than eight thousand silver foxes. Of course, if you plan to use these rewards in exchange for something else, you can do that. Mention it to me - but first, you must show enough loyalty and virtue."

Loyalty and virtue are often symbols of knights. Earl Salman did not make any promises, but at this moment, the light in front of the adventurers had reached the sky.

Title and land are the best destination for every adventurer after their career ends. If you can become a knight of the Canglan family in the future, how much money will you need?

Thousands of silver foxes are really far behind compared to one 'noble knight'

And the young man with a half-smile on his face, who had been sitting in a chair playing with ancient gold coins. The identity is obviously more unusual

Maybe it's Prince Alfonso, and this is the only prince in Elda who has such qualifications (people at the bottom, even low-level nobles, don't understand the changes in the domestic political situation).

"Sir! Please give me your orders!" Paul said looking at George and Alfonso. The excitement in his heart could no longer be hidden at this time. At this moment, other adventurers also felt as if they had suddenly returned to heaven from hell.

"Yes." The gold coins in George's hand stopped spinning. He nodded slowly and asked, "Okay, show me the way. We need you to take us to the banshee's lair."

""

These words were like a basin of ice water suddenly splashed on the adventurers, making them feel cold all over.

Paul opened his mouth and looked at the priest William with a cold smile on his lips. In the end, the words "We will never accompany anyone to die again" could not come out of his mouth.

The destination Paul mentioned was in the center of the lower left corner of the map (the far right of the map is the lake), which is exactly the most dangerous swamp maze area that Brenda had mentioned before.

The adventurer had taken the mountain road before and went around to that side. We walked for two or three days in total.

"Also, you can take the lake route. We have a boat. It will be much faster than the mountain road." Paul suggested.

"I don't recommend taking the lake detour. Although there is a waterway from the lake to the destination, and it seems closer. But here at sunset, the water level will start to drop. At that time, the boat may have to dock near the lake The rest of the way is going to take a lot of time on foot,” Brenda said.

After hearing this, the adventurers were a little surprised. This kind of water level drop only occurs in the deepest areas of the swamp. And those who have not been there at night will not understand this situation.

In fact, this was indeed the case. Although Brenda did not go deep into this swamp maze because of the shadow. But it can be said that except for the small area he was most suspicious of, other places were 'lit' on the map in his mind.

It's just because he hasn't been here for a long time, so maybe no adventurers know so much about certain things.

In addition, there is another reason why Brenda does not recommend walking in the lake-their group, if they are in the water. Then I am afraid that the combat effectiveness will not be able to exert one tenth. And there is nothing big in this deep lake. Once the boat capsizes, then maybe everyone except Soraya and other people with wings will be dead - Anubis can only fly a few kilometers and cannot bring people ashore.

"Sir, we will take a boat down the mountain forest in the center of the map and reach the destination before dark." Count Brenda said with great certainty.

Paul and others had great doubts about this matter. First, he was not sure whether there was a river passing through there. Secondly, there was silt everywhere in the entire Dragon Teeth Swamp, which made it impossible for ships to pass.

In fact, the adventurers thought it was stupid to use a boat in this swamp.

"Sir, Paul and others are indeed familiar with the place - there is a dense forest blocking the middle channel of this river. But I know that the shortest part of that dense forest is about one kilometer. In addition, there is a lot of silt in the second half of the road, but I don't think this is a problem."

George nodded after listening to Brenda's words and understood what he meant.

The dense forest and silt are indeed not a problem. Even if the dense forest is a little longer, it will not be a problem, because Hillyak can hang a net on a forest. Let Anubis take the boat to rest on the big net in the dense forest. As for the swampy areas with silt, it was easy to deal with - as long as someone pushed, the boat could go as fast in the swamp as in the river.

After seeing the customer was so stubborn, the adventurers didn't say much. According to their thinking, it would be best if they couldn't go.

The boat finally followed Brenda's route and headed for the dangerous swamp area. Halfway through, the adventurers who had been staying in the cabin suddenly felt the boat shaking violently. When they opened the curtains, they suddenly found that the boat seemed to be able to fly

And it seemed that it was not just flying

The surrounding forests became denser and the fog became thicker.

Gradually, the boat entered the river in the second half of the journey and began to go deep into the swamp area. Most of it was water and silt. In the first section of the journey, the grass and trees on the land were still very dense, but as the boat continued to move forward, these grass and trees began to turn yellow, and then the grass was completely replaced by dense fungi and ferns, and the surrounding trees were also covered with parasitic fungi, and they looked rotten and weird. Many trees were covered with tumors, which looked very disgusting. The mosquitoes in the jungle began to grow larger, more deformed, and more manic.

Perhaps because the swamp jungle smelled the breath of humans on the boat, many fungi stretched out their tentacles from the inside of the trees, like leeches, waving in the direction of the boat.

Dense green algae began to appear in the river, in large patches, like thick plastic foam. There were also many dead fish floating in it. As the adventurers said, these algae and underwater silt have completely blocked the river.

But the boat did not stop and moved faster and faster.

Originally, this should have been an extremely exciting thing, but the adventurers were chilled because they found that there was something wrong with the boat.

Paul and others couldn't help but look at the surrounding water. There were many dead faces in the water, pushing the boat.
