Chapter 33: Early Morning
The surrounding mercenaries let out a burst of cheers in unison when they heard Daisy, who was the leader agree.
Cornelia looked at Zhao Xi's side face, and there was a sudden fluctuation on her expressionless little face, Zhao Xi didn't see it, but Dorothy on the side saw it clearly.
Dorothy looked at Cornelia and then at Zhao Xi who stood up, and smiled sweetly.
"It's kind of useful, even if you make a contribution this time. ”
Cornelia muttered something in a voice that only she could hear, and then stood up and hid behind Zhao Xi.
The minds of the mercenaries on the side were all on Zhao Xi's body, and the eyes attracted by Cornelia suddenly decreased a lot.
Among mercenaries, it is a rule to worship the strong, although the strong man does not necessarily refer to strength, excellent leaders and some people with specialties are also counted.
But strength is definitely the most important link, especially for self-motivated mercenaries.
Any extraordinarily strong person may be an opportunity for them to become stronger, and it is not a big man who can be a mercenary.
They lack the most important way to exercise, so the strong ones who have stepped into the transcendent are their best teachers.
The guests of honor at the meal were all happy, although Zhao Xi did not tell them about his swordsmanship, but he still didn't mind instructing them on some sword skills.
The mercenaries were a little disappointed that they didn't learn what they wanted from Zhao Xi, but in the end, they still gained something, and the simple guidance made some of the mercenaries stunned.
They also knew that it was impossible to exchange some food for the most important sword inheritance, and they felt that they were very profitable when they got some guidance.
After all, they usually don't have access to a few transcendentals, let alone extraordinary guidance, most of them are exploring on their own, forming their own style of training methods in battles again and again.
Most of the mercenaries who broke through to the transcendent almost followed this path, and only a few had a good teacher and were mercenaries.
As a reward, Zhao Xi also ate all kinds of food sent by the mercenaries, including salted meat with a strong flavor, pastries with a strong milky aroma, and a glass of fruit wine made by the mercenaries themselves.
You must know that mercenaries are forbidden to drink alcohol when they go out on a mission, for fear that they will drink too much and make mistakes, but some mercenaries will secretly drink two sips in order to satisfy their hunger.
Zhao Xi also got a small cup, which could only moisten his throat.
However, this fruit wine has a stronger flavor than the fruit wine brewed by the kobolds, and this Zhao Xi drinks it like the fruit wine he drank before, and the kobold tribe has more like fruit juice drinks.
In fact, some mercenaries brought a pot of mushroom soup, and Zhao Xi looked at the colorful mushrooms in the pot and was a little timid.
Although the mercenary who brought the mushroom soup patted his chest to ensure that it was absolutely non-toxic, and he also demonstrated and drank a large bowl, Zhao Xi still smiled and refused to drink the mushroom soup that looked strange.
The more colorful the mushroom, the more poisonous it is, which has been deeply rooted in Zhao Xi's heart, and even if it is non-toxic, it is a little difficult for him to swallow.
Il, who was patrolling the area, saw the excitement in the neighborhood and thought something was going on here.
When he walked in and took a look, he saw that the protagonists of this small banquet turned out to be the two people he hated the most, so he couldn't help but snort coldly and walked away.
Zhao Xi naturally sensed Yi'er's arrival, but the other party had no intention of making trouble, and he didn't take the initiative to trouble the other party.
The approachable image he had managed to build up among the mercenaries could not be shattered just because of a miscellaneous soldier.
The mercenaries are already the most well-informed in Shyderea, and maybe they will be used again in the future.
That's why Zhao Xi will instruct some mercenaries to form a good fate, maybe when this good karma will blossom and bear fruit, and give him an unexpected harvest.
However, Daisy, who led the mercenaries, did not speak, but sat quietly with food on the side, looking at Don who was talking to many mercenaries while eating.
She didn't rashly say that Don En was a nobleman, otherwise the scene would not have been so enthusiastic.
She felt that Tang En's concealment of this matter must have his reasons, she didn't need to expose Don En's identity in advance, she would do a disservice, and maybe she would be hated by the man in front of her.
Daisy couldn't tell what kind of feelings she had for Donne, including gratitude, curiosity, admiration, and appreciation.
She didn't know if she liked it, her mother hadn't taught her that, except for some necessary knowledge.
Although Daisy is already twenty years old, there may already be children in the country at this age, or even more than one.
However, for mercenaries, twenty years old is still a young person, and some twenty-year-old mercenaries are still rookies who can only make trouble in their own team.
As far as the red-haired mercenary was concerned, she still had zero experience in love, but she was sure that she had a crush on the aristocratic young man, and more than that.
Dorothy on the side was quietly hiding in the corner, her eyes constantly sweeping over one mercenary after another, and the more she looked, the more dissatisfied the girl's expression became.
Finally, when she looked at Daisy, Dorothy smiled a little, as if she had seen some rare treasure.
"It's the first time I've seen anyone other than Donn who smells so good. ”
......
Since it wasn't Zhao Xi's vigil yesterday, he got up early in the morning rarely.
Looking at Cornelia and Dorothy, who were still asleep in the carriage, Zhao Xi smiled slightly, but this smile looked very obscene to others.
"You usually have such a poisonous mouth, and you don't look like a pig when you fall asleep. ”
Looking at Cornelia's sleeping face, the clerical girl's expression did not change in the slightest when she fell asleep, which really made people suspect that she was not a real person and more like a doll.
He scorned the blonde girl who was sleeping next to him, and then turned his gaze to Dorothy, a glance that almost didn't show him a loss of spirit.
I saw that the buttons of the girl's blouse were unbuttoned at some point, revealing a large piece of snow white from the gap, and looking at Zhao Xi's dry mouth.
Because the clothes worn by the three of them are all men's looks, they are looser for the two women, so when the buttons are opened, the gaps exposed are enough to see the scene inside.
Although he had seen it all when he was healing, this half-concealed scene had already made Zhao Xi's little heart beat wildly, and even reminded him of the amazing elasticity when he was injected with the potion.
But soon Zhao Xi woke up from his loss, quickly looked away, swallowed his saliva, and hurriedly escaped from the carriage.
But Zhao Xi's movements were a little big, and when she got out of the car, the carriage made some noises, and Dorothy sat up in a daze when she heard the movement, and her loose clothes slipped off her body.
She didn't realize anything wrong with this, and after seeing that there was nothing wrong with her, she lay down and fell asleep again.
Probably because of the cold in the early morning, she unconsciously put on her shirt and wrapped it tightly, and the snow-white skin was not exposed.
Zhao Xi appeared and gradually calmed down after washing his face with the water he was carrying, and patted his face with both hands to drive away the beautiful picture in his mind.
"I'm really perverted if I think about it again!
Just when Zhao Xi hypnotized himself and wanted to forget the scene he saw when he got up in the morning, there was a sound of gentle footsteps around him.
Zhao Xi looked in the direction where the voice came from, and found that it was David, who looked sleepy, and he was listless, as if he hadn't slept all night.
"Don, why did you get up so early!"
David yawned heavily, barely opened his eyes and saw Donn on the other side, and said hello.
"Don't you too, don't you need to take a little more rest?"
Zhao Xi looked at David, who looked sleepy, in surprise, and seemed to think that it was strange that he was sleepy like this and didn't have a good rest.
"I want to rest too, but I kept hearing people crying last night, and I couldn't sleep at all. ”
Speaking of this, David came to his senses and began to complain to Zhao Xi non-stop.
"Crying? Who wouldn't go to bed and cry all night?"
Zhao Xi also felt a little strange and didn't understand why David heard such a strange sound.
"Who's to say it wasn't, I thought it was someone's prank, but I walked around the camp and couldn't find the source of the sound. David said with a sad face.
"This..."Zhao Xi didn't know what to say for a while.
"I also met Captain Sid yesterday and I asked him if he heard the cry, and Captain Sid said no, thinking I was having a nightmare. ”
David can be regarded as having found someone to talk to, and poured bitter water on Zhao Xi.
"Was Captain Sid's vigil yesterday?" Zhao Xi touched his chin and said, "Maybe it's because you're too nervous, can you still hear it now?"
"Not anymore, but how can I scout the environment like this! I'm afraid I'll fall asleep while walking. David looked bitter.
"Why don't you take a leave of absence with Captain Cook and sleep in the carriage all morning, and I'll take you for a while?" Zhao Xi thought for a while and said.
"Really?"
David's eyes seemed to glow with gratitude, and he grabbed Zhao Xi's hand, as if grasping a life-saving straw.
"Yes, you can, but I'll leave it to you today to collect firewood for dinner. Zhao Xi pulled out his dead right hand, which was grabbed by David.
"Don't say one day, ten days is fine, Don En, you are simply my savior!"
If the system could display the favorability, it is estimated that David's favorability towards Zhao Xi would directly explode now.
Although Zhao Xi felt that it was a very comfortable thing to be thanked, it was still strange to be looked at by a man in his twenties with that kind of look.
"Alright, okay, you go back and talk to Captain Cook, I'm here for your mission. Zhao Xi took two steps back slightly.
David nodded hurriedly, and then quickly put it aside, how could there be a little decadent look just now.
Zhao Xi looked at David's distant back, and muttered in his heart: "Hearing crying in the middle of the night, isn't this the routine of horror movies?"
He looked up at the woods around him, which were as barren and deserted as before, unchanged.
"Oh no, this is another big problem!"
As the voice fell, Zhao Xi stood alone and began to light a fire to prepare breakfast for himself and Cornelia.
