"There are several ships listening at the port. Warrior, you can take whichever ship you want." Sodir was stunned for a moment after listening to Aaron's request. After reacting, a seemingly malicious smile suddenly appeared on his face, and he pointed at the coast to the north of Jandvik. You could vaguely see a few small boats parked there.
"By the way, this is the chart that our Horde has compiled over thousands of years. I think it should be of some help." Sodir enthusiastically took out a chart drawn with an unknown animal skin from his house and handed it to Aaron.
"But..." Thorri seemed to want to say something, but was glared at by his father, who did not dare to say anything more and silently walked away from the crowd.
Aaron naturally noticed the little drama between the father and daughter, but before he could ask what was going on, Sodir had already changed the topic, pointing to the sea outside Jandvik and said to Aaron, "Warrior, I think you are not good at sailing. The most important thing about sailing on the sea is not to lose your direction."
Aaron nodded. Aaron naturally understood what Sodir said. However, because he didn't know what Sodir wanted to say, Aaron agreed and looked at Sodir, waiting for his last words.
Sodir pointed at the sea area and continued, "There are several islands on the sea outside our village. Warrior, you can head towards those islands first, and then go directly south to reach Stormheim."
Aaron nodded thoughtfully, Sodir This suggestion is not bad. With landmarks to guide the direction, Aaron it will be easier for them to sail.
After thanking Sodir, he exchanged some vessels and food filled with fresh water with the Vrykul people in the village for everyone to eat and drink while sailing on the sea.
Thanks to Kul Tiras people who have done business on Broken Isles, Vrykul of Jandvik is actually willing to accept the gold coins used by Aaron.
"I feel like something is wrong." On the way to Jandvik's port, Aaron expressed the strange feeling in his heart with some hesitation.
"Of course something is wrong." Xal'atath said matter-of-factly, "That guy didn't even look at me. For a Vrykul, if Val'kyr is facing Val'kyr, he should at least express respect and emotions like running over and kneeling down to lick her."
"Have you discovered it a long time ago?" Aaron glanced at Xal'atath and said dissatisfied, "Why didn't you tell me earlier?"
A smile appeared on Xal'atath's face that seemed a little unbeatable to Aaron: "You didn't ask me. Besides, this kind of thing doesn't affect you in finding that shield."
"By the way, what does kneeling and licking mean?" Vereesa keenly noticed a certain word that Xal'atath said.
"Kneel down and lick, that's..." Xal'atath thought for a moment with some trouble, then suddenly stopped moving, retracted his wings, and hung in the air as if he were sitting in the air. His temperament suddenly changed. He stretched out a foot towards Aaron, raised his chin slightly, and said in a majestic tone, "Kneel down, I give you permission to lick my toes."
As soon as these words came out, Vereesa and Stellagosa looked at Aaron in a subtle way. Aaron shouted angrily at Xal'atath: "Are you done yet!"
"Isn't this just to make it clear? Do you see so many images?" Xal'atath said lightly without any remorse, his wings vibrated, and he flew towards the simple port ahead.
"Um, Aaron, I don't mind you... um..." At this moment, Vereesa walked beside Aaron and said in a voice that was not much louder than a mosquito's hum. A blush appeared on his cheeks. After saying that, he ran away immediately, without giving Aaron a chance to explain.
"Friend, your hobbies are really unique." Even Stellagosa joined in the fun, patted Aaron gently on the shoulder, and said with some emotion.
"I... I'm not!" Aaron explained feebly, feeling like he was being suppressed from the inside, and couldn't help but feel a little downcast.
"Aaron, come here quickly!" At this moment, Vereesa, who had already run to the port, waved to Aaron.
Aaron ran over carrying food and water packed into several wooden boxes. He saw Vereesa frowning and looking at several boats docked at the port. Aaron put down what he was holding and almost vomited blood when he put down the things in his hands.
These ships are basically intact, because they are used by Vrykul. The models of these ships are large enough to accommodate a dozen human-sized creatures on the ship without feeling crowded. The interior of the cabin is also relatively clean, with no disgusting garbage or anything like that, and Aaron and the others do not need to clean it up again.
The only problem is that the sails hung on these boats are in tatters. Even a layman like Aaron who knows nothing about navigation can tell that these sails must be useless.
"That guy..." Aaron looked back at Jandvik, intending to go back to the seemingly loyal Sodir patriarch to get a intact sail, but maybe After the battle with Einar just now, he couldn't control himself. Aaron was so angry that he stepped on the trestle, and his foot penetrated the deck. Aaron almost fell down.
After struggling to pull the foot out, Aaron looked down at the rotten trestle in disbelief. He just stamped his foot a little harder and trampled through the trestle. Those Vrykuls didn't fall down with just one kick.
"It looks like these pieces of wood haven't been replaced for at least several decades." Vereesa picked up a broken piece of wood, observed it, and made a conclusion.
"In other words, have these Vrykuls abandoned this port a long time ago?" Aaron's face turned a little ugly. He vaguely understood the reason why Sodir had a strange expression when he talked about these ships before. However, the trestle was getting more and more broken. Aaron looked worriedly at the wooden boats docked next to it. If these boats were also broken, then Aaron would have to find other ways to distinguish Shield's Rest.
Carefully stepping on the rotten trestle to the boats, Aaron took out his shield and tested the solidity of the boats. Fortunately, at least one boat was made of materials that had not completely decayed.
Aaron loaded the supplies onto the boat, beckoned others to get on the boat, tried the paddles fixed on the boat, and after finding that he could row the boat, Aaron began to row the boat according to the route marked on the dilapidated map given to him by Sodir, preparing to go to Stormheim.
"Aaron, I was thinking, why did those Vrykul abandon the port and still have these ships?" Vereesa sat on a wooden box and said to Aaron.
Aaron thought for a while and said, "Because it is more dangerous to go to sea?"
"I think so too." Vereesa nodded, pointing to the map in front of Aaron and continued, "So that map..."
By this time, Aaron had understood what Aaron meant. Since Vrykul was afraid of the dangers at sea and did not dare to go to sea, the reliability of the route on this chart was very questionable.
Aaron thought for a while, got rid of Stellagosa and went to investigate the location of the mark on the route. After Stellagosa flew back, he brought back some not-so-good news: there was a group of Naga occupying a small island in front of the route.
"It turns out that guy had this intention." Aaron had the intention to return to Jandvik to teach that cunning Sodir a lesson, but he just stayed with his thoughts. Aaron began to look at the crude charts and study a route that bypassed those Naga.
Fortunately, with Stellagosa's aerial reconnaissance, Aaron and the others were able to bypass the scattered Naga wandering outside the camp and successfully broke through the sea where the Naga were entrenched.
"This calculation is too easy to see through." After confirming that Naga would not discover it, Aaron let go of the oar and said with some emotion.
"After all, it's Vrykul whose brain is full of muscles." Xal'atath catered to him and looked down upon Vrykul.
After passing through this somewhat dangerous sea area, everyone found that the scenery on the shore had changed. The originally flat coastline was replaced by towering boulders. It could be clearly seen that these layers of boulders formed towering cliffs. Aaron understood that he had entered the range of Stormheim.
