Chapter 108: Many Calculations
Almost at the same time, somewhere in the city of Tuscaloosa, in a quaint small building, the leader of the Jersey team, who had separated from Fraser earlier, was now nervously hunched over, reporting to the blurred images not far in front of him about what was happening on the road. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info he raised his head from time to time to look at the image projected by the magic array in front of him, the stuffy room made the fat face shimmer with grease, and the sweat continued to flow down his neck into his clothes, and he was so nervous that he didn't dare to wipe it with his hands.
"As I have just reported to you, the elf is indeed in my possession, and Rolandor Henry is looking for it. The Jersey leader bowed his fat body with difficulty, and from time to time he raised his head to look at the blurred image in front of him.
"You have done a good job in this matter, I am very satisfied, and when you return to the imperial capital, I will reward you well!" the figure in the video praised the Jersey leader in a hoarse voice.
"Thank you, Lord, Thank you, Lord, what should I do next!"
"The men I sent have arrived in Newcar, so you can rest for a day in Tuscaloosa!I will let them go tonight, remember that you must follow the main road, do not deviate from the route, if there is no accident you will meet on the road, and everything that happens will be under the command of Rogers, do you understand!" the figure in the video commanded in a low voice.
"It's great that it was Mr. Rogers who led the team, I was still worried about my safety in the second half of the race, and since Mr. Rogers was here, I could finally put the heart hanging in my throat back in my stomach. The Jersey leader patted his chest and looked relieved.
"Alright, let's stop here! Remember, don't make any mistakes. The figure in the image shook for a while after the command, and then disappeared.
Seeing the image disappear into the room, the captain of Jersey let out a long breath, and when he walked out of the dark room, he waved his arms excitedly, hummed a little song and took small steps, and walked towards the hotel where the caravan was located in the moonlight.
But as the so-called a few happy and a few sad, when the leader of the Jersey team hummed a little song and walked happily outside the hotel, Captain Leon was sitting alone in a dark corner of the hotel lobby and drank a sip of wine from time to time, with a sad face on his face, and anyone could see his mood at this time.
With a creak, the door of the tavern was pulled open from the outside, and the sleepy-eyed waiter suddenly opened his eyes, but there was a little inaudible tune in his ears, and then a fat body squeezed in, and after seeing the latter's face, he only yawned a lot, and then buried his head deep in the crook of his arm and fell asleep.
"Looks like you're in a good mood, Jersey!" Seeing the Jersey boss walking in humming a little tune, Captain Leon put down his glass and asked quietly.
"Yo, Leon, you haven't rested yet! Why are you drinking alone, Wizard Krazier? Do you want me to accompany you?" As he spoke, Team Leader Jersey stretched out his chubby hand and pulled away the chair at the table and sat down.
"Come on, come on! I've been waiting for you for a long time, and Mr. Kratzer has eaten hastily and gone upstairs to rest. By the way, what's going on?, what did the Lord say?" Captain Leon poured a full glass for the Jersey leader, and slowly pushed the glass over.
"Guess what, hey, hey!" asked the Jersey leader, reaching out and taking a big sip from the wine glass on the table, pretending to be mysterious.
"It should be a good thing to look at you, otherwise you wouldn't be so happy!" Seeing that the wine glass of the Jersey leader was at the bottom, Captain Leon poured him a full glass.
"Of course, I reported all the ins and outs of the matter to the elder, and the elderman said that we did a good job, as long as we return to the imperial capital headquarters, the elder's head will reward us well, and the team sent by the chief to meet us will set off from Newcar tonight, if nothing else, we will be able to meet them the afternoon after tomorrow, this time my hanging heart can finally be put down." The team leader said with a happy smile on his face and excitedly took the wine glass. "I haven't eaten since the afternoon, I'm dying of hunger!"
"Did the Elder say what the elves were going to do? Captain Leon, who was holding a wine glass, stared at the table and asked with ulterior motives.
"Well...!, the Elder didn't say, but he said that everything would be under his command when we joined up with Roger. Hearing this, the Jersey leader hesitated for a moment before replying, apparently remembering something as well.
"So you're not sure what will happen to this elf?" Captain Leon looked up, his eyes blazing at the latter.
"You can say that, too!, but I think the Elder Grown's vision should be better than mine! Even I see the benefits of sending this elf back to the Elven Forest, he can't see it!"
"I hope the result will be happy for all, otherwise...!," said Captain Leon, who was halfway through his words, but did not say any more, and his gaze turned to a room upstairs, and the meaning was self-evident.
"What do you mean, did Mr. Kratzer have any advice?" the smile on the face of the Jersey leader suddenly disappeared, and he asked nervously.
"No, but he told me a word outside the gates!" Captain Leon said after a moment's thought.
"What?" asked the Jersey leader.
"He said that he was given the task of escorting us to Barstow, and that he would only ensure our safety, and that he would not take care of things that were beyond the scope of his duties. Captain Lyon truthfully repeated to the Jersey leader what Kraser had said to him.
"What does this mean, is Mr. Kraser, too, interested in this elf?" Hearing this, the clever Jersey leader did not know what it meant, and he couldn't help but sit up straight, his eyes fixed on Captain Lyon, hoping to find something on the latter's face.
"I don't know if I'm interested, I just know that this elf wasn't rescued by me, nor by you, nor by our Chamber of Commerce, so I think what he meant was. Captain Leon paused, and glanced at the Jersey leader who was staring at him nervously.
"Whatever he does, we don't have the right to blame him, and... And.." Captain Leon hesitated for a long time and did not finish his sentence.
"You're going to say it quickly! I'm really anxious, what are you selling at this time!" Looking at Captain Leon's expression, the Jersey leader slapped the table anxiously, urging in a low voice, and looked upstairs from time to time.
"It's best if we send the elves back to the Elven Forest, if there is any accident, you should know what the consequences are. Captain Leon slurred his opinion.
"How did I forget about this, yes! We didn't have an agreement with the Krazer mage to protect the caravan for safety accidents, so logically this elf belongs to him, and you are so right, if the Lord sends her back to the elven forest, we will all be happy, and if there is any other outcome, the Krezer mage is by no means a good talker. "After a little thought, the Jersey team leader figured out the key points.
"Yes, his strength is obvious to all, even Dwayne Johnson and that Rolando's bodyguard teamed up to stop him, I don't think Rogers can make much use of coming, his strength is not as good as Dwayne Johnson's. Seeing that the Jersey team leader had figured this out on his face, Captain Leon suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, and now he didn't have to be in a dilemma.
"Well, how did I forget this, I would have asked the elder to understand, and we wouldn't have to think about it here. The Jersey leader patted his head in frustration.
"Well, let it be! I really hope that the Elder will make a wise decision!" Seeing the chagrin look of the Jersey leader, Captain Leon also sighed helplessly.
Neither of them spoke for a moment, and the empty hall was filled with only the crackling of the burning candles, and after estimating with Captain Leon the worst possible consequences, the leader of the Jersey team was no longer in the same happy mood as when he had first returned, and now he found that the matter was far from over.
I don't know how long it took to bow his head and ponder, the leader of the Jersey team looked up sharply and was about to open his mouth to speak, but found that Captain Leon, who was sitting opposite, had left at some point, leaving him sitting alone, and the whole hall was only him and the night watchman.
Early the next morning, after a night's rest, Kreeser walked out of the room refreshed, but was surprised to find that the mercenaries hired by the caravan were sitting in the hall in twos and threes, not ready to set off at all.
After looking around, Krazer found neither Captain Leon nor the trace of the Jersey leader, so he couldn't help but curiously pull a mercenary and ask, but the result was that the merchant would rest here for a day and set off tomorrow. At first, Kraser was stunned when he heard the news, but then he reacted, this should be the result of the report between the Jersey leader and the president Shaquille!
Knowing that the team didn't want to leave today, Kratzer shook his head and glanced back at the room where the elf Monica was, he reached out and touched Thanatos, who was yawning on his shoulder, squinted his eyes and thought for a while, and then walked towards the outside of the hotel. Since you don't have any intention of leaving today, why not take a stroll around the city of Tuscaloosa and see if you can buy something that suits you, and not in vain to visit the city.
But what Kraser didn't expect was that it didn't matter if he went around, but he found that there were many mercenaries in Tuscaloosa City who were looking for some news, and after eavesdropping curiously, he realized that these mercenaries were the same people in the mouths of the two guards when they entered the city last night, and there are still many mercenaries pouring into this Tuscaloosa City today.
Although it added a touch of prosperity to the city, it revealed a trace of uneasy atmosphere, which couldn't help but make Krazer not in the mood to go any further, hastily visited a few weapon shops, and after buying some fruit at a fruit stall that seemed relatively fresh, he hurried back to the hotel where the caravan was, looking at the mercenaries who were still sitting lazily in the hall, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, it seems that these people don't simply don't want to go out, they should all be confined to this hotel by the Jersey leader or Captain Leonใ
Shaking his head helplessly, he walked towards the room where the elf Monica was with the fruit he bought, and for his arrival, the elf Monica was obviously very happy, being confined to this small room had already suffocated her, and it was obvious that the arrival of Krazer made her energetic. And this treatment, Kraser stayed directly until the early morning of the next day, and even slept with the elf Monica at night. Of course, in order not to make the elf Monica feel bored, Krazer told her all the things that happened along the way as an interesting story, and asked some things about the elf forest from time to time.
In the early morning of the next day, Kratzer looked at Monica, the elf lying on the bed, curled up in the crook of his arm, and a trace of inexplicable emotion appeared in his heart, which made him a little inexplicable, but it affected him all the time.
When he finished washing up and led the elf Monica out of the room, he found that everyone in the caravan was ready to go, and it seemed that he was waiting for him to appear.
"Captain Leon, Captain Leon, what's going on? How can it be divided into two teams?" Looking at Captain Leon's busy figure, Krazier couldn't help but shout.
"Magician Krezer, you're up! I thought you'd be able to sleep a little longer!" Captain Leon, busy Captain Lyon, stopped after hearing Krazier's shout.
"What's going on, why split the team into two groups so I can't guarantee their safety. Looking at the mercenaries split in half, Kratzer asked with a frown.
"Here's the thing, you listen to me explain to you, after Jersey communicated with the president last night, there will be a team from Newcar to pick us up, it is estimated that it will meet us this afternoon, there is still half a day during this period, in order to ensure the safety of the period before the convergence, Jersey and I decided to divide the team into two groups, one after the other, so as to greatly ensure the safety of the caravan. If something happens to the front team, the back team can also respond in time, and will not be caught off guard like yesterday. What do you think of this?" Captain Leon quickly explained his decision to Kreeser and looked at him nervously.
"Well, that's a good idea, so be it, I'll do whatever you say, no problem!" said Kreeser after a moment's thought.
"That's great, Jersey he first led a small group of people with the elves, they only rode horses, this speed is relatively fast, once it is safe to meet the people who come to meet us, they will wait for us on the side of the road, and we will bring the carriage to attract the attention of others, so that the safety of Jersey and them will be greatly guaranteed, do you think this is appropriate!" Captain Leon asked cautiously as he looked at the thoughtful Krizer.
