After the little girl Angelina left, Oss took the dagger and walked to the place where the sentry was.

After getting closer, Oss realized that Raleigh had come to the neighborhood at some point, and as Oss approached, the three of them looked at him in unison.

"Augustine, did you find anything good when you went to buy items from people in small towns so late?"

Oss smiled humbly, "Lord Raleigh, I only rarely stay in a small town like this, and I am a little curious to see what is useful. ”

"Oh, really? Then I'll look at what you bought, I'm a little curious. Raleigh said lightly.

Oss handed the dagger over, and Raleigh glanced at it, but did not take it.

"How did you buy a broken dagger, and how much did you spend?" Raleigh was puzzled when he saw that it was a dagger with two notches. "You've been deceived, Augustine. I'll help you recover the money, where there will be good things in such a small town, there will only be cheating. ”

"Don't bother, Lord Raleigh, it didn't cost much, I like this dagger. Oss hurriedly explained.

He was originally distressed about the little girl, but he was afraid that giving money directly would hurt her self-esteem. So just by buying a dagger, the little girl has something to gain, how can she recover the silver coins at this time.

Raleigh then suddenly said, "You, I understand." Well, good things have been done, so let's go and rest. ”

Oss nodded hurriedly, and walked towards his cart. It's just that he has turned around, and he didn't see that after he left, Raleigh's face gradually became gloomy.

"Kindness overflows, so you're still a good man, Augustine. The voice was so small that only Raleigh himself could hear it.

Sometimes, contradictions and hatred come so suddenly and inexplicably. What you have and what he doesn't have will make him feel inferior. Or if you are noble and dirty, you will appear to be despicable. This is true of the world, and so it is of the human heart.

The night was uneventful, the town was quiet and peaceful, and the only movement was two birds flapping their wings in the middle of the night.

When the sky was slightly bright, all the members of the unicorn mercenary group woke up from their sleep. After eating, harnessing the horses, and making some preparations, Barber set off again with the mercenary group.

Drive north from Kumaranka for about 12 prayers to reach the City of Mercenaries. However, the unicorn mercenaries chose to follow the perimeter of the Chaos Forest, walk northeast for three prayers, and then plunge diagonally into the depths of the Chaos Forest. Barber estimated that it would take about twenty prayer days to reach the area where the Huaxia Chamber of Commerce was located.

It's spring, and the trees are lush and green, and the whole green blocks a lot of sunlight, so that the soil covered with dead leaves is only dappled with light spots at the end.

The wheels creaked, and the horses made a dull snort from time to time. After ten days of prayer, the unicorn mercenary group finally completed half of the journey. Just yesterday, Head Barber inquired about some news about the Huaxia Chamber of Commerce in a small town.

The information was provided by the leader of the small town, who said that there was a town called "Hope Town" one prayer day away from their town.

He once met two people who claimed to be from the Huaxia Chamber of Commerce in Hope Town, and those two people brought a large number of farm tools and books to Hope Town, and they taught the residents of Hope Town how to quickly reclaim wasteland and grow food and tobacco.

They also opened a primary school in the town of Hope, where all school-age children can attend school for free, and they teach literacy to the students every day, and even teach all kinds of enlightenment, including but not limited to professional awakening, combat, literature, arithmetic, ......

In the end, the leader also told Bobble that the name of Hope Town "Hope" was taken by those two people, and when Bobble asked what the names of the two men were, the leader shook his head, and finally thought for a while before saying that they seemed to call themselves "Dandelion".

Captain Bobble had spent the whole day in a trance, and he could still clearly remember the envy and anticipation in the leader's eyes, for the two "dandelions" had told the leader that soon there would be people like them in the small town where the leader was.

In the afternoon, the deep green forests and dense jungles come to an abrupt end, replaced by a large area of well-groomed farmland with wheat growing in good condition. In the middle of the farmland, a road that can accommodate two large cars running side by side stretches straight into the distance.

The sight in front of them shocked everyone in the Unicorn Mercenary Regiment, and they couldn't believe that there could be such neat, fertile farmland and such smooth roads in the depths of the Forest of Chaos. Isn't it their impression that everything in the Forest of Chaos should be disorganized?

After walking through the road for about ten minutes, a mid-level town came into view, which made all the members exhale, because the town in front of them was still the humble appearance they remembered, otherwise they would definitely wonder if they had gone in the wrong direction and ended up in the hinterland of the Holy Empire.

But when they got down the town, the mercenaries noticed something different. First of all, there is a plaque hanging above the gate of this town, which reads "Hope Town". Then they discovered that hundreds of people were repairing the walls on the outskirts of the town.

This makes the mercenaries look at each other, the towns in the Forest of Chaos are always the first purpose of saving money, how can it be possible to arrange for the residents to repair and strengthen the city walls without collapsing?

The farmland, the roads, and everything in front of them just now have subverted the mercenaries' perception of the Forest of Chaos.

So, with curiosity and questions, they stepped into this city of hope.

The houses are still simple, but the streets are clean. The inhabitants were still dressed in shabby, but their faces were bright. The woman carrying a bamboo basket to sell her belongings was missing, but there were two grocery shops near the camp where accommodation was provided. The children who were running around on the road were gone, but there was a loud sound of reading.

The entire unicorn mercenary group was silent, and all the members watched it all in amazement.

Suddenly, a middle-aged mercenary on a war horse muttered to himself, "Is this still a forest of chaos?"

No one answered him.

After setting up camp, Captain Barber first made a round, and then asked Raleigh and Morsi to manage the people and start resting and cooking. Finally, with two escorts, he walked to the residential area of the town.

At the edge of the residential area, a small patrol of town guards stopped the three Barbers. Barber quickly explained that he wanted to enter the residential area for a visit.

A middle-aged man in the team who was obviously the leader of the squad showed a familiar expression, he didn't embarrass the three of them, but only indicated that it was okay to visit, but it was necessary to have four of his team members follow.

Bobble agreed to the squad leader's request, knowing that this was the right thing to do, just as he would certainly not allow the townsfolk to enter and leave the mercenary group's camp at will.

The first stop on Barber's visit was a grocery store not far away.

There is a distinction between the two grocery stores. At the entrance of the first shop hangs a vertical wooden board with the words "Department Store" written on it. Barber didn't understand the word department store, but when he walked in, he found that the shop was full of daily necessities, parts of carriages and carts, as well as "knight" cigarettes and "beast blood" wine.

The wooden board at the entrance of the second shop reads "weapon", which is easy to understand. Sure enough, after Barber entered, he saw a dazzling array of weapons inside, and the most conspicuous place in the shop was a low-level demon spirit sword.

After leaving the grocery store, the second stop on Barber's visit was the Town School.

Bobble was very interested in this school, which he had heard about yesterday, but unfortunately, Bobble was not allowed to enter the school, and he was stopped by another small team of guards stationed at the entrance of the school.

Bobble had to offer to meet the two "dandelions", but he was refused. The squad leader in the guard told him that the two "dandelions" were giving a lecture and could not be disturbed now.

However, despite being refused, the squad leader promised Bobble that after the lesson, he would inform the two "Dandelions" of Bobble's request to meet. Bobble nodded, and finally stopped at the entrance of the academy for a long time.

Of course, the guards did not call the two "dandelions" directly dandelions, they called them mentors.

The third stop on Barber's visit was the tall observation posts that stood at the four corners of the town.

Barber was also not allowed to approach the observation post, but fortunately, the all-wooden observation post was five meters high, and Barber could clearly see it even from a distance.

At the top of the observation post was a platform with a sturdy guardrail, on which stood two guards who were intently surveying everything around the town. And within the reach of the two guards, there was a large gong, which was obviously used for early warning.

Eventually, Bobble wanders around town, and then discovers blacksmiths and medicine clinics that would never be possible in other towns.

Thoughtfully returning to camp, Bobble locked himself in the cabin where he belonged. Today's visit has shocked him so much, so much that he needs to digest quietly for a long, long time.

Hope, Dandelion, Mentor.

These three words lingered in his mind, and eventually intertwined, presenting him with hundreds of positive, vibrant faces.

"This is the fucking kingdom of heaven. Bobble burst into a foul mouth, venting the shock and anticipation that had accumulated in his heart.

And while Barber was quietly thinking and waiting for the two "dandelions" to reply, a cavalry team of two hundred people appeared in a forest twenty miles away from Hope Town.
