chapter18

Takales tapped the table with his knuckles gently, as if he was pondering, before returning to the inn, he actually didn't really want to take Filsi's mention, he always felt that although the people of the two gold coin group were nesty, everyone was a mercenary group, and it was natural to advance and retreat together, and it was not good to leave anyone behind, but now when he heard Rhodes say this, and then looked at the two gold coin groups that were so frightened, he had to take Filsi's construction—— He didn't think a group of terrified people could help him in the mission.

Takales said, "Huck, Rod, we can understand your concerns, so let's do it, you don't have to follow us for the Muyuehua mission, you can stay in Marion City and do logistics work." ”

Huck asks: "What do you mean by logistics......"

Tacales said: "Help the mercenary group do publicity, recruit new people, and go to the mercenary union to stare at what new tasks are booked, anyway, don't let the people of the Eagle Mercenary Group rob it, you can do it, right?" ”

Huck said, "Yes, Captain, we can do it!" ”

Ryan asked weakly, "Then the people of the Eagle Mercenary Regiment are going to fight with us?" ”

Tacales said: "If you can fight, you will fight, and if you can't fight, you will run." ”

Ryan said, "Oh, good. ”

"All right," said Tacales, "so be it, everyone adjourns. ”

As soon as the meeting ended, the two gold coin groups quickly ran away.

Monthama swore and said, "A bunch of soft eggs! ”

Tacales said, "I have chosen all of them, and even less so those who have been screened out, be content." ”

"We should collect more information about the Forest of Terror," Lub said. ”

Monthama covered his face in horror and said, "Ah, the thief he has spoken!" ”

As soon as Lubu moved his hand, the dagger he hung at his waist was in his hand, and the dagger spun in a circle, and the handle hit the back of Monhama's head, hitting the man in the face and hitting the table. His series of actions were so smooth that there was only an afterimage left, and Tacales couldn't help him if he wanted to.

A red mark came out of his nose, and he slapped the table angrily, but he dared not speak, who let him not beat Lubu, so he had to snort twice to show his dissatisfaction.

Filsey said, "I don't think the horror forest is as terrifying as Rhodes said, otherwise Monroe wouldn't have even mentioned it." ”

"Well, Monroe is also a local, and he's an apprentice apothecary, so maybe he has something to do." In any case, we have to do this task, and if we retreat at the first difficulty, what kind of mercenary group will we be. ”

"Yes! Then let's go to sleep and recharge our batteries! ”

When they woke up, several people were ready to go, they first went to rent a carriage, and then went to the Chengxi Medical Center to pick up Monroe.

Monroe carried a large box, almost the height of him, as if he was carrying a coffin, according to him, this was the sealed box used to hold the moonflower.

Monhama asked in amazement, "How big is this moon flower?" ”

Monroe said, "The size of a grown man." ”

Monthama imagined a flower about the size of a human being, and it was a little chilly.

The carriage of five was drawn by two horses, the carriage could seat three or four people, and the groom seat could seat one or two, and they decided to take turns driving, with Tacales and Monhama acting as grooms first, and the other three as masters in the carriage.

Takales smiled and said, "This is the first time the two of us have been in a carriage." ”

"Yes," said Monthama, "this is our first time as grooms. ”

Tacales said, "Haha, fortunately the horse is obedient, otherwise we would have been miserable." ”

"Trained horses," said Monthama. ”

The two men were rejoicing, the wheels of the carriage pressed against a big stone, the carriage shook, the two horses were also frightened, neighed and ran forward, Tacalas and Monhama in the groom's seat could not react, and the body was about to fall off the carriage as soon as they pouted forward, but fortunately Lub grabbed the belt of one of them with one hand, and then pulled back the two people who were out of their seats, and as soon as they pulled them back, he squeezed into the middle of the groom's seat, took the reins, and the horse was immediately docile under his comfort, and ran obediently at the pace.

Tacales asked, "Can you drive a carriage?" ”

Lub said, "Yes. ”

"Awesome, you can steal and drive a carriage," Tacales said. ”

Lubu said: "It's miserable, you don't know swordsmanship or drive a carriage." ”

"I'm your leader," said Takales, "so you should give me the respect you deserve!" ”

Lub lifted the two purses and said, "All your money is mine." ”

Takales and Monhama subconsciously touched their waists, and their money bags were indeed gone!

Lub hung his wallet on his waist, and Takales and Monhama were about to grab it, but Lub lifted his elbow and blocked it sideways, and he threw the reins away, and when he leaned back, he retreated into the carriage, and Takales and Monhama could not pursue, so they had to take the reins with great force.

Through the curtain, Monthama said to Lubu in the carriage, "Hey, Lubu, you are the one of the five of us who can drive the carriage, and you should be the coachman." ”

Lub asked, "Are you princes or princesses?" ”

"Neither," said Monhama. ”

Lub said, "Then you are not eligible." ”

"You ......" said to Monthama

Lub said, "The money bag is with me." ”

Monhama was silent.

The two brothers and sisters, Tacales and Monhama, glanced at each other, and both saw the raging fire in each other's eyes, and they silently swore to themselves that one day they would become high-ranking knights and beat Lub to cry and call his mother to let him be their groom!

Inside the carriage.

Filsey, Lub, and Monroe each sat in one direction, none of them talked, they were not talkative, they were not familiar with each other, and they belonged to different professions, so they could not start a common topic for the time being.

Filsey cleared his throat, and it was up to him to break the silence, and he said, "Monroe, we heard a little bit about the situation in the Terror Forest, can you add something to us?" ”

Monroe asked, "What did he say?" ”

Filsey repeated Rod's words, and Monroe nodded and said, "Yes, he's right. ”

"I'm sure you've got a way to get us through the Horror Forest," said Filsie. ”

Monroe said, "You have faith in me. ”

Filsey said: "You don't look like a brave and unscrupulous person, if the horror forest is really that terrifying, you will not do anything rashly and enter the horror forest with us." ”

Monroe said, "Ah, what a man you are...... It's tiring to get along with people who are too smart. ”

Filsey smiled.

Monroe's large box contained many bottles and jars, filled with herbs and potions for various ailments and wounds.

Monroe poured a bottle of green powder into five paper packets and handed them out to everyone to keep close to them, saying, "This is insect repellent powder, which can disperse a thousand species of insects and five hundred species of prey." He took out another candle and said, "This is a contemplative incense, when lit, it will emit a fresh fragrance, covering a radius of ten meters, within this range, our emotions will basically not be affected by the horror forest, but once it is out of this range, I can't give any guarantees." ”

"So, in the Forest of Terror, we have to move in groups, and we can't be too far apart from each other," Filsey said. ”

Monroe said, "Yes, I have read the books related to the Terror Forest, this contemplative incense is customized for the characteristics of the Terror Forest, the effect should be very good, pray that our journey will be smooth sailing." ”

Filsey said, "I hope so." ”

Although the Terror Forest is only a hundred miles away from Marion City, and it can be reached in half a day if you rush at full speed, there are too many detours on the way, and the road conditions are not good, often uneven gravel roads and muddy dirt roads, which greatly limit the speed of the carriages, and they cannot reach the Terror Forest when night falls.

The sky was too dark, there were few stars, and the road was not easy to walk, so after discussing it, several people decided to sleep in the open for one night, after all, even if they arrived in the horror forest now, it was impossible to enter it at night.

The tents that Tacales bought at the grocery store were large and small, the large one could accommodate three people, and the small one could accommodate two people. The distribution method for these five people is: a tent for the three of Takales, Filsey, and Monroe; A tent in Monhama and Lubu.

Wanting to cry without tears, Monthama asked Tacales, "Why am I sleeping with Lub again?!" ”

Tacales said: "Anyway, you are in the same room with him in the inn, you are used to it, think about it, Filsey and Lub are not familiar with each other, Monroe is new and does not know anyone, where can he bear the natural cold air of Lubu, and wronged you." ”

"Then why don't you share a room with Lub?" said Monthama! ”

Takales said: "I'm the head of the regiment, I always have to communicate more with the new members, and I haven't lived with Lubu, it's all up to you, Amon, you can do it!" ”

Monthama wants to duel with Takales!

Once the tents were allocated, the five of them built a campfire to cook. There were no wild animals in this area, so a few people had to scatter and pick some edible fruits, and boiled a small pot of soup with water, with their own hard bread, and hastily settled dinner.

Filsey said, "Let me keep vigil first, and you will sleep." ”

Monhama said, "Is it necessary?" It's sparsely populated, and it's not too close to the Forest of Terror, so there's no danger. ”

"It's better to be vigilant," Filsey said. ”

Takales said, "Then I'll accompany you." ”

Filsi said, "No, if you and Monhama want to drive, you must keep your body safe, why don't you come and accompany me." ”

Lub glanced at Firsie, and if he didn't object, he took it as a tacit.

"Well," said Takales, "if anything happens to wake us up, you two will sleep if we are fine for an hour." ”

Filsey said, "Good. ”

Filsey sprinkled a circle of insect repellent around the tent and sat down in front of it, while Lub stood with his back against a tree, playing with his dagger boredly.

"We never had a good conversation," Filsey said. ”

Lub said, "What do you want to ask me?" ”

Filsie said, "Since you have guessed my intentions, then I will not go around in circles with you, who are you?" ”

Lub didn't answer and asked, "Who are you?" ”

One of the two people raised their heads, the other bowed their heads, their eyes converged in the air, and burst out with scorching tongues of fire!
