Chapter 25: Departure: Yuexiu Basin
Midnight dragged his tired figure back to the room, thinking about Xue Zixin's joining, and the snickering joy in his heart, because the second brother of the was not noticed by the brothers. He fell into bed and fell into a deep sleep. The change in the small sky placed on the pillow was also not perceived......
Downstairs, Bo Changyan's spirit has been in a state of excitement, putting out a stack of books borrowed from the college's library and rummaging through them. Do a detailed look at where they're going next. Even pay attention to the strange things around him, and there are several broken weapons of the continent pressed under those books, and you can know that these books are the remnants of a long time ago by looking at the dilapidated appearance of the books......
......
In the early morning, the sun rises in the east, and a whole noisy sound has been lingering in Changyan's ears, "coo", "coo". stopped as Chang Yan waved his hand to drive away, and after a while began to chirp again.
Changyan was really angry by the noise, raised his head, his eyes squinted, he wanted to sleep for a while, but he was disturbed by a stupid bird who didn't know where, he looked around, and the crying stopped, and he didn't find his goal. Thinking about it as it is. I changed my position and prepared to continue sleeping on my stomach.
Chang Yan had just fallen asleep when our initiator flew down slowly from the second floor and pecked Chang Yan's head with his beak.
"Your uncle's dead bird!" Chang Yan covered his pecked head and glared angrily at the culprit in front of him.
Chang Yan saw a smile that revealed obvious mockery in the bird's eyes, and that kind of cheap look coincided with the figure of Xiaotian who often frolicked with him.
"Ugly bird, you're hairy. Will you fly?" Chang Yan looked at the full-fledged Xiao Tian and exclaimed. also forget the contradiction between the two just now.
"Boss, wake up, your birds will fly!"
Xiaotian didn't like Changyan to call him a bird, so he flew up, and one swooped down on Changyan's body, Changyan couldn't dodge, and his clothes were scratched. simply counted the old and new hatreds together, and the two jumped up and down in the hall.
woke up Zong Ming and Midnight, who were still sleeping in the room, and He Qianjun, who had just washed up. Seeing that the brothers woke up, they pointed to the little sky flying in the sky, and they all came around, and the little guy flew around, landed on the table, folded his wings, walked on the dining table with his head held high, and his little eyes rolled around, walked to Midnight's side, jumped on Midnight's shoulder, and rubbed Midnight's neck affectionately with his head.
Chang Yan, who had messy hair, was very hurt in his heart, why is this difference so big.
"Second brother, hurry up and wash up, we'll have to go out to get the task later!" Zong Ming kindly reminded.
"Come on, come on, show you the results of my night!" Chang Yan happily patted the stack of books on the table, handed over a few documents to a few brothers, and then went upstairs to get a change of clothes.
"The second brother is so fierce that he even drew a map. Midnight took the hand-drawn map and exclaimed with emotion, which marked the route map of the caravan of the mercenary group, and the kind of demonic beasts that were prone to appear in each area were clearly marked.
"Big brother, isn't this legend your dagger, which feels very similar?" Zong Ming handed a piece of torn paper to He Qianjun. After reading it, He Qianjun folded the paper and said to Zongming with a smile: "Third child, I want to eat the flatbread you baked, the kind with bay leaves, and some porridge cooked by Linghezi, I drool when I think about it." ”
Zong Mingle stood up happily: "Wait a minute, do it immediately." ”
"Wait for me, I'll give you a hand. Midnight shouted as he twisted his body.
"Then you go and help me pick some lotus flowers. Zong Ming pointed to the pool of spiritual lotus at the back of the courtyard.
Midnight wiped his mouth and nodded.
He Qianjun looked at these materials seriously, the content was very detailed, the supply of the surrounding towns, as well as the surrounding villages, and the location of the magic tower were also clearly marked. even circled one of their missions, a four-star demonic beast, the magic core of the Flame Lion.
"Yuexiu Basin, there are dozens of villages around, this monster should have flowed from the side of Tianao Mountain, it has injured several families, and a few hunters are missing, this animal is also smart, it runs away when it hurts people, and never stays in one place too much, the surrounding villagers ask the Magic Association to send someone to deal with it, because our academy is the closest, and this task will be handed over to us, and another S-level task I heard was issued by the tutor who escorted the special enrollment back this time, and asked for a three-star shadow beast's magic core. Changyan took a shower and came out to explain the information he had obtained.
"Shadowbeasts shouldn't be in that area, and if just a Shadowbeast Core isn't enough to be an S-class mission, there's something wrong with that. Changyan took a sip of water and calmly analyzed.
"Be careful, put on all your armor before you go. And that dagger to confirm that it's okay?"
"Don't worry, boss, I took out all the daggers in the library, the dagger should be a replica, and the artifact on the picture for you is the god of punishment, which was lost in the last Great War. His whereabouts are unknown. Now there are also a lot of imitations, all of which are going for the name of these artifacts, but the boss of you, the grade is definitely not low. It can also affect people's mental power, which is already considered a high imitation!"
The two discussed the route and optimized the destination route map. It wasn't until the end that Changyan came back to his senses: "Boss, did you say six people?"
"Second child, you stared at others with those eyes last night, and you still had the heart to listen to what we discussed?" He Qianjun said angrily. The words were speechless for a while.
Chang Yan, who has always been very thick-skinned, doesn't seem to be good at such a situation.
......
After everyone comfortably finished breakfast, they went to the agreed place to gather, Chang Yan went to the bounty table to pick up the task, and registered the names of the team and the team members. The two S-class tasks were filled in with two big characters.
Xiaotian, who could just fly, had been hovering in the air within a hundred meters of several people. After Xue Zixin and Ji Qingxi arrived, the group rushed to the "Yuexiu Basin", and Changyan introduced the details of the mission in detail along the way. The main thing is to talk to the new members.
At this moment, Changyan is finally normal. Look at the map you drew and find the branch of Chongyang Trading House. The group rented a carriage and disguised themselves as children of the family who traveled and played, He Qianjun, Shu Ziye acted as guards, Bo Changyan and Ji Qingxi became the children of the family, Xue Zixin was Ji Qingxi's personal maid, and Xi Zongyuan was Bo Changyan's follower.
For the sake of safety, everyone went to the Yuexiu Basin with the caravans. During this period, a protection fund was also paid to the mercenaries who guarded the caravan, although the team of sixty or seventy people, the overall speed was much faster than they imagined. Although this caravan hired only a two-star mercenary group, whose name has been registered by the Mercenary Guild: Firefly, their leader is indeed a genuine three-star junior fire magician, and the members of the group are very familiar with the surrounding routes.
Except for a noon stop to eat something, it didn't take long for the caravan to continue its journey......
Chang Yan opened the curtain of the carriage and watched the sun gradually go down, arranging tasks for the two of them. The two people who were driving the car shouted, "Escort He, when the caravan stops in a while, I'll fetch some water for the young master, so that we can wash up." Chang Yan observed the surroundings as he spoke, and under the perception of his spiritual power, he noticed that one of the errand runners of the caravan was eavesdropping on the movement here, and he couldn't help but wonder in his heart. He shouted to Midnight again: "Shu Guard, rest for a while and trade some food for us and the caravan." Are those those that people eat at noon? Get some delicious food for the young master!" Chang Yan scolded at midnight. is a child of a family who is not deeply involved in the world.
Chang Yan's spiritual power sensed that after Xiao Er retreated, the corners of his mouth curled slightly. I thought that I should be acting well!
In one of the carriages of the caravan, Xiao Er, who had just eavesdropped, ran over and whispered to the people in the carriage and shouted, "Second Master!"
"Well, how's the investigation going?"
"Confirm that it is correct, it is a child of a family who simply goes out to play, and he is still a doll who does not know the world. ”
"It's good that there is no danger to us, and we will help when we can, this kind of person, we don't provoke, and we don't stammer. After this walk, you can go home and rest for a while. The middle-aged man kindly talked to the child, who was about the same age as Midnight. After confirming that this group of people was harmless, I felt a little relieved. But the information revealed by the middle-aged man's eyes could be felt that he seemed to be worried about something......
In the evening, the whole chamber of commerce rested on a meadow, and a few miles further on there was a wood, and tomorrow the people passed through the forest, and then through a swamp, they reached their destination.
The firefly mercenary group was responsible for guarding the perimeter, the caravan pulled the horse aside, gas bonfire, set up tents, and with the permission of the firefly mercenary group, the caravan chef began to light a fire, set up a few big disasters in the middle of the crowd, put in the cut mutton, put the salt and start boiling...... On the other side, the iron frame was erected, the boiler was made, and the posture of roasting the whole sheep was obvious.
He Qianjun, who was nominally out to fetch water, came back with two empty bamboo tubes.
"You useless waste, hey, young master, what do I want you for?" Bo Changyan stood on the carriage and looked condescendingly at He Qianjun who was looking down at He Qianjun, who had been following them, and at this time, Xiao Er, the merchant who had been following them, ran over.
He said respectfully: "Childe, you are wrong to blame him, the caravan will not be stationed near the drinking place at night, and it is still six or seven kilometers away from the nearest river!"
"Why don't you camp in a place where there is a river, isn't it very inconvenient!" Chang Yan asked, pretending to be puzzled.
"Childe doesn't know, we are driving, what we are most afraid of is that we are by the river, the monsters will go there to get water, if we really encounter those monsters that can't resist, our entire caravan will be wiped out, we can't afford to take this risk" Xiao Er said seriously.
Chang Yan had a look of sudden realization on his face, and the three people in the carriage were holding back a smile hard, this time they were impressed by this acting group.
"Childe, if you don't mind, my lord invites you to tonight's all-sheep banquet, this sheep is the most famous black goat here. Xiao Er asked politely.
Chang Yan sniffed the aroma of beef in the air, and praised, "It's so fragrant, little second brother, bring a good one for me and the master's family, and we will definitely visit in person to thank you later." As he spoke, he handed a medium magic crystal to Xiao Er, and Xiao Er didn't shirk it, stretched out his hands and took it and bowed to Chang Yan and retreated.
"What's the matter, boss?" Changyan asked with concern.
"I'm afraid it's not going to be calm tonight. He Qianjun looked at the back of Xiao Er's departure, sighed and said lightly......
Tonight's night is exceptionally quiet......
