Chapter 143: It's Clear (2/2 for the Scarlet Elite Hall Master)
Zax took out a bottle of milky water from his package, gritted his teeth and twisted the cap of the bottle, pulled out the gold coins he had just been given by the Forsaken, and poured the water on top of them. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
This bottle contains concentrated holy water, and its value is not cheap, a bottle of holy water can cost nearly a gold coin.
In the wilderness, adventurers and trade caravans would take these things with them. Their highly effective healing abilities are favored by adventurers and caravanserais. After all, not every adventurer, caravan will have healing powers. And these holy waters are also a means for the Holy Light Church to gather wealth and help believers, which is a kind of sustainable development.
The holy water itself has a certain effect on restraining and purifying necromantic magic, and adventurers in the wild will always pour holy water first when they encounter something unclear.
Zax poured holy water on the gold coin, and wisps of light smoke soon began to rise from the gold coin, dissipating into the air.
"I knew there must be these things on these undead!"
Zax muttered, picked up the gold coins on the ground again, and put them in his backpack.
"Let's get better soon, I really don't want to stay here anymore." Zax looked at the dilapidated house and said to himself helplessly, "I've been here for a long time, and I feel like I'm going to get moldy, and I smell all over my body." ”
Outside, the ruins of Lordaeron were busy in the night, and countless undead were busy on the road leading to the original palace. They walked in an orderly manner along both sides of the road. The Forsaken who came out carried sacks of dirt on their backs, while the Forsaken who walked back reasonably pushed or carried rocks.
Night fell, the sky darkened, and all that remained of the ruins of Lordaeron was the faint noise of the night, and the undead who did not know how to get tired.

Scarface sat by the fire, a map in hand, checking the results of the past few days.
On the side, Mina and Harrow were holding another map and checking the terrain one by one.
"Here, there used to be a river." Mina pointed to a location on the map and said, "We called it the Sodo River. It is in the mountains behind Thirbercher, and it flows to the endless sea. ”
"No, when we went, there was no river there, only a dry riverbed." Steven leaned over and chimed in, "I dug up there for a while to confirm it. The dirt down there has been dry for a long time. ”
"You don't know." Mina was not in a hurry, she patiently explained to Steven and Harrow, "The river originates from the heights of the mountains behind Seberchel and is influenced by the mountains. Only in the year when it is soft and humid does the water flow down the mountain. When the weather is cold, the river will freeze at high altitudes, and the downstream will lose its water source and dry up. ”
"So, we're still going to mark the river. So as not to bring mistakes to the decision-making of the corps commander. ”
Mina picked up her pen and drew a line on the map, marking the name of the river on it. On this map, a large number of symbols and names have been densely marked.
The map is almost complete.
"I really didn't expect our mission to go so smoothly." Naomi shaved her nails with a dagger, "I thought I was going to have to deal with those gnolls and the scourge." ”
"If it weren't for this heavy snowfall, we might still be playing hide-and-seek with those gnolls."
Mina said with a smile.
In the past few days, while investigating, they have encountered various situations. In the most typical case, because the wind and snow were so strong that they obscured the ground tracks and sounds, they actually rushed into a jackal's camp. Luckily, the gnolls spotted them, but because of the weather, only a few rushed out to chase them, and finally left the gnolls tribe without danger.
"yes." Naomi couldn't help but laugh at the thought of this, she turned her head to look at Scarface, "I didn't expect the captain's ears and nose to fail, and I didn't find that gnoll tribe." ”
Scarface shrugged and didn't speak, continuing to look at the drawings in his hand.
"There's nothing wrong with the human settlements you marked on the map, right?"
After a while, Scarface asks Hamilton, pointing to the human symbol on the map.
"No, we went in and talked to them for a long time. In their camp, there were several very powerful adventurers who took in and sheltered the humans. ”
Hamilton affirmed, "I know what it means, so I remember it well." ”
Scarface looked down at the map in his hand, which marked the human camp dotted, with only a few small people and hundreds of large ones.
He counted the human settlements above and made a rough estimate. The woodlands of the northern Silver Pine Forest alone are home to tens of thousands of surviving refugees, and these refugees are crucial to the Legion's future plans.
Scarface closed the map and placed it in his inner pocket, looking at the rest of the people in the house.
"Tomorrow, we're going to have someone go to the entrance to the Haru Gorge and wait there for the Legion Commander."
"Sergeant Hamilton, you and Corporal Harrow go to meet the Legion Commander, and we continue to refine the map here."
"Don't stand guard tonight, Steven and I will be the night before and after, when you leave tomorrow, be careful along the way, don't get caught by the undead on the island." Scarface admonished, then he looked at the crowd and said, "Rest, Steven, you come in the first half of the night, and I come in the second half of the night!" ”

For several days, the weather did not improve. From time to time, the news of the collapse of houses in the town of Gadar was also a little annoyed by the snow, which also made Locke a little annoyed, although everything had been prepared, but the weather had been like this, and he had to wait helplessly.
On this day, Locke opened his eyes again, and the room finally became a little brighter, and the sky finally dawned.
These days, he is always looking forward to the next day, expecting the next day to be a good day, and as a result, he always can't sleep well at night. Locke felt like he was losing sleep.
He rolled over with a skelet, wearing his padded jacket and armor, and he couldn't wait to push open the door and walk out.
Outside, the heavy snow finally stopped, and a hazy sun appeared in the sky, which emitted a faint light, and even then Locke couldn't help but be overjoyed.
He hurriedly rushed into the house, tidied up his belongings, and after getting dressed, he rushed all the way to the legion headquarters.
In an excited mood, he directly lay on the table and ordered. Lines of generic text fluttering from the tip of the pen appeared on the paper, and Locke dropped the pen in his hand and blew on the paper.
"Someone! Give this order to Britst Herald! Let her pass on the order! Locke shouted to the guards at the door.
"Legion Commander! It's too early, right? Major Bridget was afraid she hadn't gotten up yet. The guard walked in, and said hesitantly, "It's a bit of a bad time to call her at this time..."
"Oh well! I'll go on my own. Locke thought about it and decided to knock on the door himself, and he continued to give the order, "Go and inform the captain of the Norris Wing, and say that the sky is clear, and let her release the scouts." Just tell her that she knows how to do it! ”
With that, Locke strode out of the headquarters, he was going to knock on Bridget's houses.
Locke excitedly rushed all the way to Bridget's house. Along the way, the soldiers who got up early to clean up the snow on the ground looked at the excited regiment commander in amazement.
"Open the door! Bridget! When is it? You're still sleeping?! Get up! There's something to do! Locke slammed into Bridget's house, and there was no movement inside the door.
After waiting for a few minutes, there was still no movement inside, and Locke couldn't help but get a little anxious, "Hurry up!" If you don't get up, I'll knock the door open?! ”
"It's coming! What are you anxious about! Don't I need to wear clothes?! Bridget's dissatisfied voice came from inside, "What's wrong with having a job?" When is it now? Don't let people rest yet! Is being your herald so devoid of human rights?! ”
Locke heard Bridget muttering something inside the house, and soon the voice came closer, and the door was opened a crack, and Bridget showed half of her face.
"Why are you doing this?" Bridget could finish speaking, Locke pushed open the door and walked in, he stood in Bridget's house with some excitement, waving the command in his hand.
"It's sunny! You know? It's finally clear! We can get out! Get the order across! ”
Locke jumped, waving the command in his hand in front of Bridget.
It wasn't until the excitement had passed that he realized something was wrong. The female man in front of her was only wearing a thin autumn coat and pants. Especially in her chest, where it was bulging like a hill, Locke couldn't help but feel embarrassed.
"Hehe," Locke touched his nose with his hand, looking embarrassed, "why did you get up dressed like this." ”
"Nonsense! If I don't get up again, you're going to smash my door!" Can I not get up? Brigitte said with a cloaked glare at him.
"You clean up first, you see you like this." Locke's eyes looked elsewhere, not daring to look directly at Bridget, "There is no woman-like..."
It's really her boobs that are too stiff, not only that, but big...
It's so eye-catching.
I didn't expect her armor to be so capitalous...
"I'm the man you call me! What a woman! Brigitte sarcastically mocked Locke without hesitation.
"Quick! Put on your clothes and armor! I'll wait for you outside! I said you're not a woman, you're not a woman? Do you feel a little confident? Locke turned to leave the house, but as he passed Bridget, she grabbed him.
