Chapter 830
The end result of the scarcity conversation did not go entirely smoothly.
It can only be said that under Ronald's extremely patient explanation, Zeno reluctantly accepted his statement.
In other words -
this man still chose to stick to his own ideas, just to avoid causing too many conflicts, so he chose to get along with the members of the expedition team in a tactful way.
the next day.
The expedition left camp and moved on.
While Ronald was in action, he recalled his conversation with Zeno yesterday, and couldn't help but joke to Giovanni:
"Giovanni, in your past adventures, have you ever encountered a situation like this?"
Ronald Nader was originally just a casual chat on the road.
But unexpectedly, Giovanni actually nodded!
"In fact, we have encountered this situation before."
"When I was in Vinni, my companions and I once went to look for a legendary ancient temple. As a result, after my companions and I left the city and entered the mountains, the king of Vinni Then they sent their own troops right behind us, clearing out the wilderness and claiming it as their own territory." "
Even when we finally found the temple - those soldiers would My companions and I all gathered around the temple and declared on the spot that everything in the abandoned temple belonged to the king of Vinny. We, the discoverers, were not even allowed to study written records. "
..."
Isn't this too realistic?
Listen to Giovanni talk about his adventures.
While Ronald complained in his heart, he subconsciously looked back at Zeno and Shiva.
Compare it to the situation Giovanni once encountered.
Maybe these two stubborn city-state inspectors are unexpectedly easy-to-talk types?
"Giovanni, what happened to you after you were besieged in the temple?"
"Having made it this far, Vinny's people probably won't simply let you go. How did you escape in the end?"
Rona De continued to ask curiously.
The leader of the expedition explained in a nostalgic tone:
"The final result is actually quite complicated."
"Because we were surrounded in that temple, the situation was very critical. In that case, one of my In panic, a companion touched the position of a certain sacrificial instrument. That thing seemed to be connected to some kind of mechanism, which immediately caused the collapse of the temple structure." "In the end, the collapse even spread to the mountain. No matter whether
our expedition team or Vinny's army finally managed to escape from the ruins in great embarrassment."
At this point, Giovanni suddenly noticed something.
Then he looked at Ronald beside him with questioning eyes:
"It sounds quite strange."
"How could a normal mechanism cause such a terrifying scene of landslides and earth-shattering? Ronald, do you think it's possible? ——There is actually a relic left by a magician like you, so it led to such an exaggerated scene in the end?"
When Giovanni asked, Ronald was also a little curious.
So he confirmed the information:
"Where is the specific location of that place? Are there any other buildings around it besides the temple?" "It
's in the Orslot mountains north of Vinny. Starting from the town, we walked a whole distance... … Regardless of the search time, if we go with a clear target, it will probably take two weeks to reach the location of the ruins." "
Then I think it should be the handiwork of the caster." After receiving such information, Ronald quickly made a decision Judgment, "Even if we break away from the city and build a temple in the mountains, it will take two weeks to get out of the mountains. This is still too outrageous." "
A human settlement the size of a temple will definitely need to communicate with the outside world under normal circumstances. Contact, even the caster."
"So based on your answer, I can only say that there is a high probability that it is a special stronghold established by the caster to control the number of people." "..." The
leisure
time on the road is passing by like this. Pass.
In this atmosphere, the expedition team continued to head north.
Because of the safety guarantee provided by the sea lantern, the expedition team can still move forward at a normal speed even in an environment like the Arctic ice cap.
But on the third day of setting foot on this continent.
Another urgent problem appeared before them.
So far, one-third of the supplies prepared by the expedition team before departure have been consumed, but there is still a long way to go before the final goal.
If calculated based on the normal consumption rate of materials...
they can indeed reach the North Pole of the planet before the resources are exhausted.
But if you want to return safely...
then the number of resources will definitely not be enough.
It is precisely because of this phenomenon that two members of the expedition team were obviously a little uneasy as they moved forward. Whenever the team was taking a break, as long as Ronald looked over, he could see the two of them looking back in the direction they came from.
For an expedition team.
This is definitely something very bad.
Generally, after this situation occurs in a team, it will most likely continue to ferment and expand. As an experienced explorer, Giovanni certainly could not let things develop as they pleased.
So that night.
The two simplest suggestions were made by him in front of everyone.
In order to be responsible for the lives of the expedition members, Giovanni believed that there were two safest options -
first, they continued to move forward.
The team will turn back after reaching the North Pole, but this time the goal is not to return to the Lato Gioia continent from the mountain top road, but to use the impact of spatial changes to return directly to the southern hemisphere from where Zeno and the others entered.
Second, regardless of whether it can reach the North Pole, the expedition team must turn back before more than half of its resources are consumed.
In this way, the materials can also ensure their safe return to Entrod.
Both options have pros and cons.
As the initiator of this expedition, Giovanni wanted to hear the opinions of the expedition members.
Before camping for the night.
Nine people lit a bonfire and sat in a circle. While having dinner, Giovanni introduced his two simple ideas and then asked others around him for their opinions.
"Of course, this is actually just my opinion."
"If you have any better ideas, I will be happy to accept them."
As a hunter, Yavik immediately spoke:
"In terms of supplies, we can actually supplement them. "
Water problem - there is ice everywhere in this place, we can just boil it and use it safely."
"But as for the food, I'm a little unsure. The animals here are all types I have never come into contact with. I can't confirm the difficulty of catching them and whether they are edible. And if someone is injured during the hunting operation, The consequences will be very dangerous."
While raising this opinion, Yavik simply moved his eyes to Ronald.
As someone who has just learned about the existence of the mysterious side.
Javik's idea is also very simple.
You spellcasters with various abilities should be able to handle this problem, right?
