All-Professional Master of Darkness - Chapter 367

c367 Return trip

Seeing Lanwu again, Varif and Gross burst into tears of joy. Although they had learned from Grez in advance that Lanwu was safe and sound and had survived the black sandstorm, they were both afraid that it was just an illusion.

After a brief exchange, Lanwu realized that Gross and the others had really suffered enough along the way. In their eagerness to find his trace, the two deliberately avoided demonic creatures such as sandworms, so they took a lot of detours. However, it was not completely useless. The two found the remains of Mashif in a hidden cave.

Lanwu became depressed when he learned that Mashif had died. The Twin Seas are unpredictable and quite dangerous. Over the past thousands of years, in addition to the teleportation array, only Mashif has been able to cross the Twin Seas 100%. Because of this, the successive generations of Jehain will control the teleportation rights of Lugaoin to the port of Kurast to prevent Lugaoin from losing a lot of talent like the Rogue Camp.

“We can always find a way.” While comforting them, Varif took out a sea chart and placed it on the table in front of them: “This is the Gemini Sea chart I found from Mashif. It records the route to Kurast Harbor. Give me some time, and I will send you safely to Kurast Harbor.”

This is good news in the midst of bad news. Although Mashif is dead, fortunately, Varif found the relevant sea chart. As long as there is a record of the route, Varif, the title heir who also inherited similar experience, may not be unable to allow the group to arrive safely at Kurast Harbor.

“Then we will go to cut wood first, and then try to transport it back to Lu Gaoyin for shipbuilding.” Lan Wu immediately made a decision and called Gross to go out and explore the way to find the whereabouts of that kind of wood.

“I’ll go to gather people.” Grez is also a man of action. He immediately got up and went to gather people who are willing to go out to cut wood.

Several people divided the work and cooperated, and soon put the shipbuilding plan on the agenda. Fortunately, due to the great changes in the world, various biological plants have grown very fast. It didn’t take long for Gross to bring back the news. So the people who had already gathered left the underground temple under his guidance, and after about an hour of rapid march, they arrived at an oasis.

At this time, Lan Wu had taken off his shirt and started to cut wood bare-chested. This kind of tree is very similar to the palm tree on Earth, but the texture is harder, water cannot penetrate, and it is difficult to ignite. I don’t know if it is because of the great changes in the world, each tree is at least three people hugging the thickness, which is very suitable for shipbuilding.

No need to call. Except for a few civilians who have not yet fully integrated the power seeds, a total of 140 people immediately took out heavy weapons such as two-handed axes. In groups of three or five, or alone, each of them chose a big tree in this oasis and started to move.

One by one, the big trees that looked like palm trees fell down with a rumble. The trees are hard, but they can’t stand the power of numbers. More than a hundred junior professionals quickly cut down more than 20 trees and piled them into a small hill on the sand.

“You, you, and the rest of you come here.” Gretz pointed at a few people to be responsible for clearing the branches and crowns of these big trees for easy transportation. He brought a dozen carpenters to build transport vehicles.

As night fell, Lan Wu and his team stopped sweating. In one day, they cut down about fifty trees that were at least three people’s arms thick. At this time, Gretz had already built three carriages for transportation. Seeing that Lan Wu and his team had stopped cutting wood, he shouted to Gross: “Go back and bring the rest of the people. I’ll build the remaining vehicles, load the wood and go back directly.”

Gross took out his staff and teleported away without saying a word. Early the next morning, he brought the remaining twenty people carrying large and small bags to the oasis. At this time, Gross and his team also built the remaining carriages. A full twenty carriages loaded with huge trees stopped on the sand. The wheels were deeply sunken in the sand.

“Can you move in the desert like this?” Lan Wu squatted down and looked at the carriage that had almost half of its wheels sunk, expressing deep doubt.

“Trust my experience.” Gretz laughed loudly, without any explanation, and called on the others to eat and drink and get ready to go.

No one objected. When they learned about the existence of the paradise of New Tristram, everyone was eager to go to that peaceful paradise as soon as possible. After eating and drinking, more than 160 people were divided into 20 teams, one team was responsible for a carriage. Soon, the team was ready.

At this time, Gretz took out a bag of magic gems and inlaid several gems on the bottom of each car in turn. Inlaid the last gem. He stood up and shouted: “Let’s go.”

The heavy carriage slowly moved. Each team of eight people pulled the carriage with all their strength. Strange to say. As the carriage entered the desert, the wheels seemed to float on the water, leaving only shallow marks on the sand. Although each carriage was carrying almost five tons of wood, it still drove forward steadily.

Lan Wu understood where Gretz’s confidence came from this time. Although he didn’t see it with his own eyes, he guessed that this must be some special magic circle inherited from Gretz. It was engraved on the bottom when the carriage was built. He was convinced. So he changed his staff and summoned three zombie dogs.

Zombie dogs are tireless and powerful, and they are perfect for pulling carriages. When the magic power is exhausted, you can summon them again. Only three zombie dogs can handle a carriage. Just an extra reserve team to replace the tired people at any time.

Because of the heavy carriages, Lan Wu and more than 160 people did not hold back at all. Whenever they encountered attacks from sandworms or demons such as catmen, they would immediately burst out and take them down directly. It was just the right opportunity for these newly-professionals to practice their skills.

After two whole months, the convoy arrived at the ruins of Lugaoin in a dusty manner. Although the vehicles were covered with scars and looked tattered and would soon fall apart, in fact, the vehicles made of this special wood were quite sturdy, and even the powerful front claws of the sandworms could not break them.

After two months of tempering, these new professionals have become elite soldiers who have fought a hundred battles. Everyone’s eyes were extremely firm, just like Virgil, and they became qualified warriors.

At this point, Gretz was worthy of being the head of the mercenaries and was very experienced. He knew that everyone was now tense, and once they relaxed, they would be like a serious illness. They could not recover without resting for three to five days. Although Lan Wu did not say it, he knew that this divine grace had always been anxious. So he immediately gave orders and urged everyone to start building the ship immediately.

Three days later, Gretz walked up to Lanwu, was silent for a while and said calmly: “I need to escort them to New Tristram safely. Sorry, I can’t accompany you to Kurast Harbor.”

“Not only you, but also him.” Lanwu shrugged his shoulders and raised his chin towards Gross who was standing not far away and looking at the newly built boat: “You need a guide. And without him, you can’t enter New Tristram. Don’t worry about us. You know, I’m good at creating miracles.”

“May the gods be with you.” Gretz gave Lanwu a hug and sent a sincere blessing.

Not long after, Lanwu and Warriv jumped on the boat, raised the sail, and sailed into the Twin Sea under the complicated gaze of Gretz and others.
