Volume 4 Dragon X War Chapter 1 Travel to the island of Quahari
Sure enough, it was even more shabby than expected. Also, there was dust everywhere, almost like ruins. Miria covered her nose with a handkerchief and complained.
"Is this the first time Miria has arrived?" Eugarie asked as she walked.
"Of course, how could you come to such a place. Aren't you? ”
"This is the first time I've been here. Places like this are already familiar to me, though. ”
"Where?" At this time, Blala suddenly asked coldly.
"Huh?"
"I mean, where to find them."
"Uh...... Well......" Yugari said embarrassedly, "Let's find someone to ask." ”
Just in the corner not far ahead, there was a homeless man. So they walked up and asked, "Excuse me, do you know where the Little Starlight guild is?" ”
"......" The homeless man looked Yujali up and down for a moment, then turned his head away with a look of annoyance, ignoring them.
"Excuse me......"
"Hey!" At this time, Miria stepped forward and said unceremoniously, "Take us to that guild and give you a gold coin." As he spoke, he took out a gold coin and placed it in front of the homeless man.
When the homeless man heard this, he immediately turned his head and pounced on the gold coin in Miria's hand.
Miria immediately took her hand back, "Take us first, I'll give it to you when we arrive!" ”
"Cut!" The homeless man pursed his lips, then turned and walked towards a dirty path beside him. Yugari and the others followed. They walked around and around to a simple building, and there was a fairly spacious open space in the middle, surrounded by all kinds of abandoned garbage.
"There! Bring the gold coins! The homeless man pointed to a very dilapidated two-story building next to the clearing.
It's a very, very dilapidated building, and it's not an exaggeration to describe it as crumbling. The entire building is supported by several rusty metal columns, and the walls are barely built of rough stone and wood. Despite this, the surrounding walls are cleanly polished, and in some places there are even simple graffiti, which shows that the owner of the house has always taken good care of it.
The door to the second floor suddenly opened, and a girl with long hair walked out, standing in the corridor of the morning sun with a happy smile on her face, stretching her waist, as if enjoying the early morning sun.
"It's Aegean." Yugari shouted, "Aegean! He shouted and waved.
"Huh? Be...... Jiali. Aegean was overjoyed when she saw Eucaly, and ran down, "Why are you here?" ”
Yugari walked over quickly. After Miria tossed the gold to the homeless man, she followed with Brala.
"How did you find this, sit inside." Aegean greeted Yugari warmly and the others to a room on the first floor.
"This is our conference room, and we usually do events here." As she spoke, she invited Yugari and the others to sit on the wooden pier, and then served them a few cups of hot water.
"Wait until I'm going to call Lei Luo and them." With that, Aegean turned and walked out of the room.
"What a simple room. There's no window, it's like a warehouse." Miria looked at the room with only a few old tables and chairs, and couldn't help but complain.
"Relo! They're here! Hurry up! A sharp knock on the door and Aegean's shouts could be faintly heard on the rooftop.
After a while, Aegean returned to the conference room with some biscuits.
"We don't have anything to entertain you here, don't mind." Aegean said with some embarrassment.
"No need to say hello." Yujiali hurriedly got up and said politely.
"It's rare for you to come here."
"But your guild is still very famous, when I mention it when I ask for directions, people will know."
"That's because we only have five official guilds here. Three of them are all new, so where each guild is, and who it is, basically everyone knows in their hearts. ”
As he said this, Lei Luo and a group of them also walked in. There were some younger children in the crowd, who looked like they were five or six years old. Although their clothes looked shabby, they were clean and did not give the slightest hint of scruffiness. Everyone greeted each other, and the whole room immediately became lively.
"You don't know these kids yet, do you?" Aegean came to the middle of the children and said, "This is a member of our logistics team. Don't look at them small, but they're remarkable. They usually help us a lot in and out of our base. ”
A shy little girl was hiding behind Aegean and secretly watching Miria's side.
"If I had known this, I should have changed into a 'normal' outfit when I came out." Miria complained. Indeed, even though it was just her usual outfit for Miria, it was quite luxurious for everyone here. Miria, who was surrounded by a group of five or six-year-old children, instantly felt very uncomfortable, and her face turned slightly red as if she had a fever.
"By the way, I remember that there should still be some ...... in my magical space" Thinking of this, Miria immediately took out some delicate pastries and said with some embarrassment, "I didn't bring any gifts......
Yugari also came up with a lot of delicious food, which was originally the magic food she had been preparing for battle, and basically had the effect of temporarily improving various abilities. "That's right, everyone shouldn't have eaten breakfast. Let's talk as we eat. ”
"I'm ...... here," she said, and as soon as Blala pulled out a snorting fruit, she was pressed back by Miria, "This won't work!" Miria shouted quietly.
Although Lei Luo and the others were embarrassed to excuse themselves for a while, when Yujiali hugged a child with saliva and stuffed the food into her hands. The child turned his head, swallowed his saliva, and looked at Aegean. Lei Luo, it was inconvenient for them to refuse. As everyone sat around the long table and enjoyed their breakfast, Yugari explained her intentions and asked Relo if they could help find out some news about the Black Wind mercenaries.
After hearing this, Lei Luo was very excited, and said energetically, "What a coincidence! Originally, we were also looking into this, after all, there are a lot of children here. ”
"And the news you are talking about is actually very easy to inquire about, isn't it, everyone?" Aegean looked at everyone and smiled evilly.
"Really?" Yugari asked happily.
"Of course." Aegean explained, "Because their Beast Fang Guild is right across from us." ”
"Huh?"
"Although they have joined the Black Wind mercenaries, they still live in the same place, and they can be seen from here. And ......" Speaking of which, Lei Luo shrugged his shoulders and looked at everyone.
"And it's a bunch of very annoying people." Andy, who was sitting on the side, couldn't help complaining, "Every time I get a task, I always have to publicize it all over the street, for fear that others won't know." I just want to show off my presence in a three-star guild. It's annoying. ”
"But this is the perfect time to take advantage of that. We don't have to ask ourselves to know when they're going to do something. Isn't it great? Aegean said with a grin. As he spoke, there was a cacophony outside.
"Yo, it's an idiot from the Little Starlight Guild. Do you have nothing to do today at home? Several members of the Beast Tooth Guild were walking past the empty field, and the one who shouted at the front, the boy with short brown hair was their captain - Chen Ganglei.
"Maybe I'm afraid that I won't be able to get a task when I go out, and I feel embarrassed." The other boy chimed in.
"Maybe it's even more terrifying if you can't complete the mission."
"Hahaha......"
"And they came, when they said so. So, I'm going to find out. With that, Lei Luo walked out of the room and pretended to shout, "What about you? Isn't it also idleness? ”
"Hahaha." Listening to Lei Luo's words, the other side laughed even more unscrupulously.
"This guy thinks we're just like them?"
"Haha, it's so funny, it's stupid."
"Listen, don't be scared!" Chen Ganglei said arrogantly, "We are going to complete a long-distance mission this time." Move important cargo for our 3-star Grand Guild. Treasure Bay, you haven't heard of it, have you? ”
"Don't tell them about these tall places, they probably haven't even been out of Staris."
"Hahaha."
After speaking, Chen Ganglei led the others through the empty field in a "laughter" and walked towards the street to the south.
"Did you hear him?" Yugari asked excitedly.
"I heard you! I didn't expect to be able to get information so easily, what a blessing. Miria grumbled.
"Then let's go with them without further ado, don't let them get lost."
"Are you sitting in a meeting again?" Aiqin said regretfully, "I finally came once, and I haven't finished breakfast yet." ”
"I'll be back in the future. Next time, let's have dinner together. This is a very urgent matter, thank you so much. ”
"You're polite to us." Lei Luo said sincerely, "We are also very grateful for your help in finding the lost child, if there is anything we can help, please feel free to contact us." ”
"Excellent! Certain! Yujiali said happily, "Then we will be lost first." ”
With that, Yujiali and the others said goodbye to Lei Luo and the gang, and hurried in the direction of the service station.
"What are you going to do?" Miria asked as she ran back.
"Follow them all the way, wait for the goods to be checked, and then find a chance to hide in the box, and then get on the ship in a fool's way."
"How did you get in?"
"Don't worry, it's not easy." Yujiali said confidently.
After the three returned to the service station, they immediately began to pack their belongings. Eugarie greeted Kailin, and everyone rushed to the south gate of the city. Out of the south gate, Eugari and the others hid in the nearby woods, waiting for the arrival of the wagon. Soon, three carriages with several huge boxes and no guild logos slowly drove out of the south gate. Sitting on the last carriage, it was Chen Ganglei and them who were looking around guarding the goods.
"That's it. We'll sneak them up behind and see where we're going. Yugari whispered.
"Okay." Miria and Blala nodded. So, the three of them followed the convoy all the way into the depths of the East Vigil Forest.
"I didn't think there was a road where you could walk with a carriage."
"It is estimated that they secretly cleaned it out for the convenience of transporting goods and being able to hide people's eyes and ears, but it is indeed much closer than walking on the road."
After walking for more than half a day, when the convoy was about to arrive at Treasure Bay, a group of people and horses, about twenty or thirty people, all armed with spears and wearing armor, suddenly came from the forest in the distance. Yugari and the others immediately rushed into the bushes behind them, secretly watching the group's every move through the gaps in the leaves.
A man who looked like a captain at the head stepped forward at this time and began to communicate with the leader of the team. This man was dressed in gray-black armor, with a long sword at his waist, and he was taller than the average person. Not long after he stepped forward, he commanded the guards behind him to surround him, and began to open the crates and inspect the goods. Due to the distance, the line of sight was not particularly clear, and Yujiali only saw that the box contained a lot of green fruits, and the captain seemed to take out one and taste it, but what it was, Yujiali did not know.
After a while, it was supposed to be that there was nothing wrong with the inspection, and the guards began to carry the goods onto their wagons, and when everything was handed over, the two sides turned around and left.
"Let's go, let's go with us." With that, Eugari beckoned Miria and the others quietly followed the guards' carriage in the direction of Treasure Bay.
Following the convoy, they came to the vicinity of a restaurant in Jumbo Bay. The carriage was parked in the driveway next to the restaurant, and everyone but two guards stayed behind to guard the goods.
"Let's take this opportunity to hide in the box." Eugari said to Miria and Blala.
"It's a good chance. But how do you get in? Miria asked.
"Teleport in, of course." As she spoke, Yugari drew her staff.
"Do you know what's inside the box? Is there room left? What if it's a dangerous drug. ”
"Don't worry." "When I was in the forest just now, I saw it clearly. I don't know what it is, but it's safe, and the captain ate one, so it's not a dangerous item. And it's not particularly full...... That's right. It should be enough for the three of us. With that, Yugari began to chant the spell.
The moment the divine light at the feet of the three of them disappeared, they were immediately teleported into the boxes on the carriage, and staggered to the ground on a pile of green fruits. As soon as Miria tried to look up, she slammed into the box, and she didn't dare to shout, so she had to cover her head and snort for a while.
"This ...... That's 'enough for the three of us'! Miria complained dissatisfiedly, "It's like being stuffed into a pile of fruit." ”
"This ...... It's okay, it's okay......" Yujiali, who was also lying on the top of the box and lying on the fruit, said embarrassedly.
"What's okay, are we going to lie on our stomachs until we get on the boat?"
"Well...... Huh? What are you doing, Blala? Yugari asked in surprise when she saw Blala, who was lying on her stomach and eating fruit.
"Eat more and you'll have more space."
“……”
"Anyway, what is this? Miria know what? ”
Through the sunlight streaming in through the cracks in the box, Miria took a closer look. It is a pale green oval fruit with a smooth exterior with occasional dark brown spots and slightly yellowish foliage at the top.
"Hmm...... It seems to be a special product of the country of tranquility, I remember that my father went there to bring it back to me when I was very young, but I don't remember what other value it was...... Don't eat any more! In case something bad happens! Before Miria could finish her sentence, she complained to Brala.
"I haven't eaten for a day, I'm so hungry." Brala said as she ate.
"yes." Yugari said embarrassedly, then took out some snacks from the magic space, and said, "This is the bento I brought from Fiona in the morning, and I was going to eat it on ......the way," and gave some to Miria.
"Did you smell anything?" One of the guards guarding the carriage asked, sniffing.
"No...... It seems to ......"
"The smell of the food, huh?"
"I'm so hungry, after all, they've all gone in to eat. Hold on a little longer, fortunately we're only in charge of delivery, and we'll be fine when we get to the dock. ”
As he said this, a guard came out of the restaurant, carrying a bag of lunches, and handed them to them. "You guys eat here, watch the goods carefully, don't anything happen."
"Yes." The two guards replied in a loud voice.
Around dusk, the convoy arrived at the dock of Jumbo Bay and stopped in front of a nondescript merchant ship.
"Ahh
"What's wrong?" Miria immediately asked alertly.
"I'm such a big idiot." Yugari said dejectedly, "Wouldn't it be nice to come here directly and use a spell to transmit it to the ship, why hide in the box and suffer." ”
"No." Miria clasped her hands to her chest, sat on the pile of fruits, and said, "If it is really a ship of the revolutionary army, with their style of doing things, they must have cast a space spell, and once someone teleports in, they will be discovered immediately." ”
"Is that so?"
"Of course, this kind of defensive spell is something that every important place will consider, it's common sense! Common sense! ”
“…… Is it my delusion? Yugari looked at the fruit around her, "It feels like it's not so crowded now." ”
"It seems like it's true...... Hey, did you eat that much?! Miria suddenly reacted and said as she looked at Brala, who was still gulping down.
"Hmm...... Uh-huh......" Blana said with a nod as she ate.
"No......" asked Yugari in disbelief, "you can't have eaten that much?" ”
Brala pulled out a Screaming Fruit and showed it to Eugari.
“…… I see......" Yugari said embarrassedly, covering her forehead.
