Chapter 290: The Road (1)
In the northern part of the Misty Continent, a caravan of hundreds of people was resting next to an avenue, and many people were eating. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
The road ends in the city of Kalinik, but it is still far from the end.
"Old Sain. ”
A young man sitting in the carriage laughed and said to a slightly wealthy old man next to him, "You are going to make a lot of money in this business, right?"
"Haha. ”
The old man laughed to himself, "Avery, you're a clever lad. Do not do this with us for more than three years. You can buy a manor in your hometown, buy a few beautiful maids, hire a few servants, and live a happy life as a manor owner. ”
"Three years?!If I work for another three years, I'm afraid my life will be lost. ”
The young man cursed. "A newcomer like me always has to do the most dangerous things. Alas...... After another year, I'll go back and buy a beautiful woman and live a happy life. Lord of the Manor? ”
The old man laughed: "You are a newcomer, of course you have to do dangerous things." However, your share is also high. By the way, Avery, there are several beautiful women in our convoy this time, all of whom were piggybacking on the road. ”
"Miss Raphne, you say?"
The young man's eyes suddenly lit up, "If I have a woman like that, even if I am allowed to work for another ten years, I am willing." That figure. That temperament, tsk...... But the family is obviously a nobleman, and the old servant is obviously not a weak hand, so I can only think about it. ”
As he spoke, the young man looked battered.
"You know that people are nobles, and even if Miss Laphne is willing to marry you, you will not be able to enter that circle. ”
Old Sein shook his head, with an angry look, "I'm talking about that Miss Mayco, people want to look good, they have to have temperament, and the most important thing is that they have good martial arts, there is absolutely no problem to keep you safe, such a girl is IKEA IKEA." ”
"Is it that good? A girl with a cold face all day long, as if someone owed her money. Avery muttered, his eyes looking not far away.
A short distance away by a campfire, a young girl in a blue samurai suit was spinning a large boar's leg above the campfire...... The meat has turned golden brown under the flames, and with the seasoning she sprinkled casually, it exudes an extraordinarily rich aroma.
Merco...... Naturally, it was Merlene, who was a mercenary warrior at this time. Although she uses a pseudonym, she doesn't make her face too ugly because of her girl's nature.
After enlightening the spirit puppet that day, Merlin finally decided to participate in Poseiman's exploration after consideration, so she still maintained Merco's appearance.
According to Poseiman, because someone might have their eye on the secret map in their hands, all the participants rushed to meet in the city of Karinik separately, and until then, there was no need to make any contact.
Although I feel that the other party is a little too careful, but fortunately, there is plenty of time, and the best thing is that if this mission leaves the Misty Continent, the secret law mark may not be able to contact her, and if there is something in the academy at that time, she will not be able to contact her...... In fact, it's not that Mei Lin is cold, if she really catches up, she doesn't mind fighting for the interests of the academy, and at present, she should focus on improving her strength as soon as possible.
After some consideration, Merlin decided to continue to travel as a mercenary and disguise her wizarding identity as much as possible...... This is not entirely due to secrecy, but rather because there is a long way to go from Nales City to Kalinik City, passing through the battle area of the Sun Hill and the Dark Wizard Alliance. These two forces and their affiliated groups are now extremely sensitive to the wizards who travel to and from the area, and wizards who have nothing to do with this war rarely enter the area unless it is absolutely necessary.
Merlin also has no way, to go to Kalinic City must pass through this area, although this area is full of war, but surprisingly, business has been more ample room for development, as long as it is not a hostile force, those wizard organizations welcome the appearance of various caravans, but as a result, there are more thieves, so the mercenary's remuneration is also rising...... Sometimes Merlin herself thinks that one day, if she is really boring to be a wizard, it is not bad to change her career to become a mercenary, because she feels that she has a desire for adventure in her bones, and there is a violent factor in her genes, and she will never willingly guard a manor to live that ordinary life.
'Grunt', a strange sound interrupted Merlin's thoughts, and she turned her head to see the doll-like teenager standing behind her, staring salivating at the barbecue on the campfire.
"Master Lane, what's the matter?" Merlin decided to tease the little boy.
The boy, who was clearly dressed as an aristocratic man, joined the team halfway through with his sister, Miss Raphne. Along the way, most of the affairs of the siblings were solved by an old servant. However, on the second day after joining the team, the aristocratic boy haunted Merlin for various reasons, just to eat all kinds of food.
In fact, there are quite a few people like Ryan in the team, and the barbecue made by Merlin is absolutely delicious, and it will attract many people every time.
Ryan's sister is a very beautiful girl, and she should be a year younger than Merlin...... It can be seen that although it is a noble family, the two sisters and brothers are not rich. When Ryan first came, he came secretly, but was later reprimanded by Raphne, so he couldn't bear to come. In the end, Merlin was a little unbearable, and lied that the money for the barbecue had been included in the travel expenses, which barely appeased Raphne's self-esteem.
"I ...... My sister asked me to give this to you, it's cold, and it will be warmer under the clothes. Ryan took out his hand behind his back, but it was a lambskin jacket.
Merlin was stunned for a moment, and then she realized why Laphne had left that piece of leather tomorrow, but she had been busy in the carriage all day.
The sheepskin jacket is not exquisite, but the stitches are very good, and it can be seen that it is a heart, and Merlin is a little moved in her heart.
With her status, there are really not many things that can make her look at it, but this leather jacket is really different...... This is made especially by hand for her!
It's been many years, and it's the first time someone has made a dress for her...... In Merlin's distant memory, only her mother had ever done this, and at that time...... Warm memories enveloped Merlin's body, and for a while she entered a daze mode.
'Ga~'
A night falcon swept past the caravan, making a shrill cry. Mei Lin's heart sank, and she immediately exited the daze mode.
"Ryan, call Captain Shearer, the captain of the guard, and return to your sister as soon as you're done. Merlin commanded hurriedly.
Ryan was stunned for a moment, then obediently ran towards another campfire. (To be continued.) )
