C18 Nausika

Outside the outskirts of the Wind City.

The nature of the world was once again incredible to Link.

After leaving the Wind City for more than ten kilometers, the ground had been covered with more and more flourishing flowers and plants. The intoxicating fragrance of all sorts of plants mixed with the smell of fresh soil made people feel relaxed and happy.

Every angle is a good landscape painting.

Lin Ke could not help but sigh. He felt as if he was immersed in a dream, as if he was in a fantasy where his beauty was unreal and indescribably comfortable.

"Oh right, what did you do a few days ago? "It's not in front of me," Rincewind said, unable to stand Daisy's surprised, naked, contemptuous gaze as she began to change the subject. It's just that she didn't know how to ride.

"You can't ride a horse!"

"…"

"Actually, mother. She took me back to grandmother's house for two days. I miss grandmother a lot, too. She's so good. She even gave me a lot of sweets. She dotes on me!"

"Big brother has bought you a lot of things, but I've never heard you praise me before. However, Sixth Aunt must be very lonely in the family all the time, so you shouldn't always be fooling around. You should spend more time with her."

"I want to stay with her too, but ever since my father passed away, it seems like she doesn't like me anymore. Sometimes, she doesn't want to take me with her. Hmph, my brother is the best, and she even brought Daisy to hunt."

"Alright," Lin Ke's eyes were filled with warmth and love, "Sixth aunt isn't easy either, we just have to communicate more with her in the future, how could she not like Daisy? Daisy is so cute, by the way, we must catch a few Whirlwind foxes to give to your mother and your aunt when we go to Lan Mountain, they will definitely be very happy."

"Yes, yes," cried Daisy, "but brother, you don't know how to ride!"

"…" Lin Ke was speechless. "Can you stop talking about this matter? Very soon, I'll be able to leave after a short rest!"

Being yelled at, Daisy pouted her lips in grievance. Then, she saw the black brat standing behind Lin Ke, and her interest was piqued, "Eh? Aren't you the one who hates people? Big brother, why did you bring this annoying black kid here! "Hmph, I'll get Grandpa Seven to hit you!"

Lin Ke suddenly felt a headache coming on. He quickly called Xue'er over. It was with great difficulty that he managed to coax this small problem like Daisy away. On the other side, a tall and sturdy middle-aged man walked over with a strange smile.

"How's it going, little Cohen?" It was the captain of the guards, Brooke. Can you still hold on? To be honest, I watched you guys grow up, but I really didn't know that you really couldn't ride a horse, haha. "

"It's not funny at all, Uncle Brooke," Link said helplessly, but there was nothing she could do about it. "But this time, I'm determined to learn how to ride a horse, even though I'm a spellcaster."

"'Will' riding is not a simple matter, fortunately, spellcasters like you don't have to ride your mounts as skillfully as those knights. Although your hunting time is a little short, at least you can master some skills, and don't have to be as sad as now, I have some confidence, I can teach you some basic skills." Brooke was an old retired soldier, Cohen had once heard Rhine talk about Brooke being a powerful knight, probably because he had lost his companion magical beast during battles, so he chose to follow Rhine into the city. I know that your father has amazing shooting skills! "

"Don't expect too much, my shooting skills really aren't that good," Link suddenly lost some of his interest. If his hunting game was added with so many expectations, it would be a bit boring.

"Where else would there be a second Aetherburg?" Brooke laughed in a low voice, looking at Lin Ke with ridicule in his eyes, "Young Master Lin Ke is focused on his training, he doesn't care about anything else. Young Master Lin Ke is focused on his training, but he doesn't care about anything else.

Looking at Brook, who was laughing heartily, Lin Ke probably had a hard time on the road. He glanced into the distance and muttered, "So the feudal fiefdom is here, and the family is always holed up in it."

Who knew that Brooke's hearing was exceptionally good. He curiously looked at Lin Ke and asked, "There's actually someone in the family that can say these words to you. Who exactly is it?" He looked at the two beautiful girls who were playing with Daisy in the distance. That's not right, then it should be that little girl called Lilisse? That's not right either? "It shouldn't be …" Brooke thought that he didn't reveal anything as he glanced at the black kid Neil who was standing behind Lin Ke …

"Oh, I suddenly feel better all over, I think we need to leave immediately! I went in the carriage and looked forward to the view of Nausika! " Link stood up and ran away.

Brooke was left laughing on the spot.

"It's a lot more slippery, but I like it, haha!"

The endless meadow was dotted with wildflowers.

The sun was shining and the wind was low.

On a wide path in the middle of the grassland, a mid-sized convoy was moving like a small fish in a green sea.

The interior of the carriage was extremely spacious. It was made of soft, thick brown furs, with a light beige skin around the edges. Under the illumination of a small magic lamp emitting a soft sunlight, the interior of the carriage seemed exceptionally warm and quiet.

Rincewind was lying on his stomach in the padded compartment, mesmerized by the view from the window curtains, which were occasionally blown up by the wind.

In this world, there was probably no one who had experienced the world of reinforced concrete in their previous life. People who hadn't seen even the tiniest bit of green in a few years felt an indescribable sense of familiarity when they saw the waves of grass.

So Linke's happiness was lonely.

Luckily, the two beautiful girls accompanied him in the carriage, allowing him, who had not had much experience in love in his previous life, to feel strangely carefree. Of course, there was also that chattering, indefatigable little Daisy who spent all day with them and didn't have to busy himself with ordinary things like in his previous life and camouflage himself.

"Tell me about Sister Ciel," Link said softly, thinking that even talking out loud would spoil the beauty. "And there's also Aitberg, you have to see it. It's not polite not to know anything about it."

"Yes, if we follow this road to the northwest of the Wind City, we'll be able to walk out of the plains and enter the mountain region. The mountain range is so low and flat, but at the same time, because of the storm in the east, the sea breeze is blowing into the valley, making it even faster and fiercer, compared to the windy city with the four seasons," Xue'er said as she followed Selina and ran west, she understood the industry situation of the Moutes family very well, "Nau Sica is actually quite close to the outskirts of the mountain range, and there are also about two hundred households scattered around the area.

Lin Ke secretly nodded his head. Even if Cohen didn't want to pay attention to anything else, he had known that in a sense, Nanako was the foundation of the clan's longevity. Even if the environment here was vile, it would still be worth it.

Compared to most of the nobles in the empire, Rhine clearly had a long term vision. This was the product of the unique experience and courage of the founder of a new family. It was a good start for a family to have their own positive cultural heritage.

"NaUuka lacks special resources, and most of the people rely on hunting to survive. This has always prevented her population from growing significantly, but it has also created the people here who are born with a strong physique and fearless courage, and the majority of the guards in Aitt Castle, in addition to the housekeepers and professionals left behind, all come from NaUika herself." Snow paused and put her hair back behind her ears from time to time as a breeze blew through the carriage, "In addition, Aitai Castle is also one of the best supply points for mercenaries and adventurers entering Lan Mountain to hunt.

"Sister Xue'er knows a lot," Daisy was quiet for a long time. When she finished, she looked at the latter with a lot of envy.

"Daisy will understand a lot when she grows up," she said with a smile, brightening up the carriage.

Linke looked at the scenery outside the carriage as he digested Xue'er's story. Gradually, a frame of mind formed in his mind.

"How beautiful." Even after looking at the scenery for a long time, he still couldn't help but exclaim in a low voice.

However, Daisy, who was very close to him, heard his words. Her eyes darted around and she roughly understood that Lin Ke was praising the scenery outside the window. She could not help but pout, "Big brother Cohen is a guy who only knows how to cultivate in the family. You said you would take me to the most beautiful place on the continent, don't tell me you want to change your mind? "

Linke smiled and didn't answer. He only pinched Daisy's delicate white face when she looked at Snow, which made Daisy angry. Daisy slapped him on the butt.

Ah!

At dusk.

Without Linke, the burdensome convoy finally arrived at Naukika before sunset.

Rinkey didn't choose to stay in the carriage, instead, he got back on his big black horse. Although it hurt his butt, after a day of study, he finally found some feeling of being able to ride a horse, which made him a little excited.

The road began to narrow down, and it was difficult for the large carriages that Link and the others were riding on to travel in parallel. They had to walk in a straight line to avoid affecting their speed.

On both sides of the road, there were not many steep slopes. The mountain was continuous, and the group of people continued to walk in the valley. The strong wind that blew towards them made them unable to open their eyes.

After walking along a narrow valley path for a long time, the wind had obviously died down.

In the center of the valley was a humongous mound, covering a wide area. From afar, a strange spindle-shaped castle could be seen standing in the middle, surrounded by a group of stone houses like stars surrounding the moon. Even so, the buildings still occupied only a small piece of land in the middle of the mound, and the rest of the open space was filled with people growing crops.

At one end of the castle, facing the direction of the canyon entrance where the hurricane was coming from, a huge and shocking windmill stood on the tip of the castle, slowly rotating without stopping.

The mound was surrounded by a small river that ran down from the mountain, and a wide stone bridge led to the road leading out of the central mound. At the end of the bridge, near the mound, there were two arrow towers and a checkpoint, the first line of defense for Novisika.

Perhaps it was because the rainy season hadn't arrived yet, but a large area of the riverbed had already dried up, and the small rivers were still considered shallow.

"What a paradise," Link sighed.
