Chapter 331: The Unofficial History of the Moon Sea
The wasteland orc Kong Er was sitting on the outskirts of the woods near the beach, now very speechless.
Although I didn't take care of the oversized backpack during the escape just now, it was indeed my own fault;
But this human pervert, as a druid, can't even use spells to purify water...
Can't that be solved by the first-level divine spell [Purification]?
Isn't it through this that the druids of the Gray Haze Forest were able to supply large amounts of nutrient solution for farming to the wasteland tribes?
This low-level spell is on the same level as the short stick used by that pervert!
The human pervert who always throws a bunch of fireballs didn’t even learn it!
Fortunately, these orcs in the wasteland lived a life of sleeping in the open air when they were young, so skills like getting water and making fire were naturally no problem for them.
With an unhappy look on his face, he took a sip of the clean water filtered through plant branches and leaves. After making sure it was drinkable, he threw the half-filled water bag to Ivan who was lying dead next to him in a bad mood.
At this moment, Alvin looked like he was about to die.
He unscrewed the lid of the water bag and began to drink it in big gulps.
"Hey! Please leave some for me!"
Kong Er watched as the clean water that he had filtered out with great difficulty was drunk up by Ivan, and he was even more speechless.
Who on earth just ran for half an hour at the speed of a 100-meter sprint?
The poor wasteland orc licked his dry lips and continued to filter the dew from the stems and leaves of plants.
As for the water on the other side of the beach——
An orc living in a wasteland really doesn't know how to turn sea water into drinking water.
After taking a breath, Alvin reluctantly returned the water bag to Kong'er and made an apologetic expression to the orc who was obviously looking at him in a bad mood.
Then he pulled out a crude map and compared it carefully with the surroundings, hoping to see some recognizable landmarks.
After a while, when Kong'er was finally holding up the full water bag and was about to drink it heartily, Ivan suddenly let out a few strange noises, which scared Kong'er so much that his hands trembled and the water spilled all over the floor.
"Human pervert! Is there something wrong with you?"
The extremely thirsty orc stood up in anger and stared at Ivan, only to find that the human's face was now ashen.
"Kong~er~"
This human pervert called him in a strange tone. If the tone didn't sound very compassionate, Kong Er would probably have been unable to resist beating him up.
"We... are lost..."
……
Outside the eastern side of the entire gray haze forest is the Moon Sea.
There are very contradictory records in history about this deep and mysterious sea.
At the end of the Second Age, when the two giant regimes of Ishtar and Misdren were fighting each other, it was said that a considerable number of high elves took a boat across the Moon Sea and fled to another continent.
The elven civilization that remained believed that those elves that escaped the war crossed this sea and established a civilization known as the Sun Elves;
Below the Moon Sea are the less fortunate high elves who were trapped in the seabed forever due to a shipwreck.
According to Istar's records, the other side of the Moon Sea is believed to be the ancestral land of human civilization - the Far East.
The humans there have a highly developed civilization and city-states that are so powerful that they make other races tremble in fear.
Because of the existence of the Moon Sea, a natural barrier, the human race on the west side has been completely separated from the ancestral civilization;
That's why we have been fighting with the elves' Misdren for so many years but have not been able to defeat them.
Since the beginning of the Third Age, both Misdren and Ishtar have gradually disappeared into history and have become legends in themselves.
The newly born human civilization seemed to have not continued to develop along the path of magical civilization because of the magical disaster that destroyed Istar.
Arcane spellcasters are no longer the only members of the political community;
The expansion method of the human kingdom also changed from expansion by force to annexation and alliance, and the irreconcilable racial conflicts between human civilization and other races no longer broke out as frequently as before.
Therefore, many explorers and adventurers began to travel among the planes.
A considerable number of them have explored the vast lunar sea.
Unfortunately, the magical navigation technology of the Middle Ages has been lost, and so far, no explorer has been able to reach the other side of the Moon Sea.
But there is one thing that is completely consistent in the records of different races.
That is, the Moon Sea is very dangerous.
Low-intelligence and savage humanoids occupy the shallow seas, while mysterious giant fish occupy the deep seas.
There are even many adventurers who returned from the Moon Sea claiming that they saw a terrifying sea monster in the center of the Moon Sea that was larger than a city.
According to the map provided by Rillifane, the Miral River, which divides the Gray Haze Forest into north and south, converges at the upper reaches of the estuary of the Moon Sea, which is the Breath of the Moon Sea.
The Miral River flows from the human kingdom through the Haze Forest. It is wide and has fast-flowing water.
Before entering the lunar sea, like all river estuaries, the width of the water surface rapidly expanded from about 100 meters to nearly 500 meters.
Although it cannot catch up with the big rivers on Blue Star, it is already the main source of water in the haze forest area.
Every summer, due to the lunar current, seawater will flow back into the Miral River from the estuary, causing periodic floods in the upstream basin of the estuary.
This phenomenon is like the Moon Sea breathing, exhaling foul air towards the Miral River.
This is how the Moon Sea Breath got its name.
The soil that is "moisturized" by sea water once a year is completely different from the black soil of the haze forest. Therefore, there are all low plants that adapt to the high-salt soil, which forms a sharp contrast with the haze forest with towering trees.
According to common sense, if Alvin and Kong'er want to find the Breath of the Moon Sea, they just need to go to the Miral River first and then hire a small boat to go downstream.
But for some reason, the old skeleton Rillifan directly opposed this proposal, and with a stern face, he asked Alvin to avoid the Miral River and pass through the forest along the forest path.
Alvin now had some doubts as to whether Rillifane, the old monster with a bad taste, knew that the beach at the end of the path was full of upright crab-men, so he deliberately created some trouble for himself.
"Okay, I finally understand this map full of circles and crosses.
Old Skeleton is a conceptual artist.
When it comes to drawing maps, our druids have to be very skilled..."
Alvin put away the paper in his hand and looked far to the south for a while.
"It's the other druids."
Kong Er followed behind him and added in a cold tone.
This earless orc is still angry, and it would make him feel better if he confronts the pervert out of habit.
And what he said is true. Alvin is a half-baked guy and still hasn't learned [Tree Shaping].
