At the gate of Qiyan City, there were a lot of people who had nothing to do to see them off, obviously they were on an expedition, but they seemed to be triumphant. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

On the white Avenue of the City Gate, a convoy of dozens of cars and several horses slowly moved forward.

Under the white city walls, a dense crowd gathered near the convoy, and the Altai Chamber of Commerce was responsible for the entire exploration trip, but I heard that Knight Captain Mack also participated in it in the name of cooperation, in short, this exploration also represents the importance of Strange Rock City to the exploration of unknown areas to a certain extent.

In order not to reveal his level of naming, Leo unceremoniously requisitioned the name of the Chamber of Commerce, and the Altai Mercenary Regiment was formed.

"The two adults of the mercenary group are discussing the itinerary, don't Mr. Leo need to come over?"

Lindsay stepped out of the convoy curtain and whispered beside Leo.

"I don't know anything about the way, and it's the first time I've been to Strange Rock City."

Leo withdrew his gaze from the crowd on both sides and said softly, the only path he had traveled in the other world was from Taiyan City, passing through the Black Wilderness, the Servant Forest, and finally on the way to the convoy road to Strange Rock City.

"If it's you, don't worry about the monster no matter how strong it is." Lindsay was stunned for a moment, her eyes rolled slightly, and she changed the topic, "Presumably, with the contract with the Altai Chamber of Commerce, you can achieve your goal in just a few months, and after that, you-"

No, not months, in order to save time, Leo actually plans to end the contract in a month.

Hiding his true thoughts, Leo didn't say anything and looked up at Lindsay, who hesitated for a moment, but also calmed down and looked at each other with an honest gaze.

"Do you remember what I said, there's a Taeyan not far from here..."

Leo smiled, it seemed to him that the girl must be worried about being left behind.

Although due to his intervention, the Altai Chamber of Commerce no longer pesters her, but the identity of a pagan alchemist still exists, and it will definitely be difficult for her to survive as a little girl.

"No, you misunderstood what I meant, you can help me solve the threat of the Altai Chamber of Commerce, which is a favor that I will repay with my life."

"I want to travel with you."

As if pulling out the weight hidden in her heart, Lindsay interrupted Leo's words and said with a serious expression.

She wasn't asking Leo for a way to shelter her, she was thinking about how to repay the favor.

"Take care of your food, clothing, shelter and transportation, even if it's that... as long as you don't mind."

As if thinking of something, his face suddenly turned red, but after looking at his immature body, he became unconfident again.

Leo was a little dumbfounded, things were really unexpected.

I wanted to use the agreement with the Altai Chamber of Commerce to complete the contract with Lindsay and find out the information about this continent at the same time, but he only felt that time was pressing, and he was used to being alone unconsciously, as for bringing Lindsay or something, he didn't think about it.

What's more, there is also an Iros by his side, and the enemies he needs to face in the future are all the powerhouses of this continent, and bringing him by his side will only encounter a series of disasters.

But then again, looking at Lindsay's sparkling eyes, no one could say no to such a request.

"You may be bothered, sorry-"

As Leo pondered how to answer, Lindsay noticed his slight hesitation and hurriedly apologized.

"I remember you said that you once found a ruin that contains the work of an ancient alchemist, right?"

Leo tactfully shifted the subject and avoided an awkward scene.

On the night she rescued Lindsay at the tavern, the girl mentions it when she tries to prove to Leo that she is not lying, but he doesn't pay much attention to it at the time.

Lindsay was stunned for a moment and looked around warily, as if to make sure that no one was eavesdropping.

"Yes, that's why I'm called a pagan alchemist—"

Her brown eyes were a little dim, and it wasn't a good memory for her.

Lindsay's master was not only a scholar of relics, but also an alchemist with a good craft. However, Astaire was not a country where alchemy was prevalent, and sensing that his knowledge of alchemy had reached a bottleneck, he decided to take the risk of studying the lost alchemy from the long-lost dwarves of the continent.

The dwarves did not believe in the moon gods, so their unique alchemy was also considered heretical.

She was lucky enough to find the dwarven ruins, but their alchemy, like the temptation of demons, made her master fall deeper and deeper.

Eventually, due to a variety of reasons, her master embarked on the path of escape, and in order to survive, Lindsay learned the techniques of alchemy notes and made a "sobering potion" from ordinary lake water.

However, due to the flaws in the technique she learned, the duration of the "sobering potion" is only half an hour, and once it is exceeded, it will revert to ordinary lake water, which is why she was accused of fraud by the law enforcement knight.

Although her knowledge of alchemy was low, Lindsay was a well-deserved master of relics, and during the three years she studied relics with her master, she had mastered all the knowledge she had acquired.

This seemed to give Lindsay one more reason to travel with him, and Leo listened to Lindsay's story, looked at Qiyan City, which was no longer in sight, and showed a warm smile.

"If you really want to travel with me, I'll think about it."

It is certainly not possible to give an answer now, so a delaying tactic is the best option.

As Leo pondered, the convoy slowly stopped, and at this time it had entered a path between Strange Rock City and the Hidden Forest, where it was a step in the itinerary to rest and reorganize for a while.

The leaders of the two mercenary groups, as well as the heads of the adventurers of Strange Rock City, went to the rear of the convoy to receive dry food and fresh water, and distributed them to the members one by one.

Unexpectedly, Nala Cook, the leader of the "Smiling Honey Sword", walked over with a trio of bacon, and her long red hair passed by some male mercenaries, their faces full of awe and obsession.

"It's bacon that we brought with us."

It should have been a very polite move, but the atmosphere was instantly frozen by her cold words.

Perhaps it had never been polite to anyone else, and Nala Cook's delicate face was a little reluctant, but Leo could tell that she had something difficult to say.

Leo and Lindsay took the bacon, and she breathed a sigh of relief.

"If you have anything to say, just say it."

Could it be that the dignified leader of the A-class mercenary group also has any requests or something, Leo's first thought was the distribution of benefits.

"As you can see, there are only four members of our 'Smiling Honey Sword', and if you can, I'd like you to allow Angela to withdraw from the fight-"

Nala Cook's blue eyes reveal firmness, which means she's not joking.

The members of the mercenary group do not participate in the battle, and this is the first time Leo has heard of such a request.

Angela is the deputy head of the "Smiling Honey Sword", the boy with a warm face in the council at the beginning, but it's a little strange to take this kind of female name.

Shaking his head, Leo dismissed the messy thoughts, and then said, "Everyone in the Altai Mercenary Regiment must participate in the battle, this is the rule. ”

"If there's anything hard to say, please let me know."

Nala Cook had a complicated expression, presumably bothered to tell her secret to a stranger like Leo.

"I'll make up for his fight."

He refused to say why, but Nara Cook still stuck to his ideas.

“・・・”

After looking at Nara Cook quietly for a moment, Leo ended the conversation with a wave of his hand.

The horn of departure whined, and Nala Cook seemed to have something to say but could only prepare to go, getting up and leaving where Leo and Lindsay were.

"She doesn't look like a cautious person."

As Leo looked at the departing back in thought, Lindsay spoke up.

"Hehe, maybe."

Leo smiled and touched Lindsay's head, casually.
