Chapter 17: Clear Water

The team moved quickly in silence, and by the time the first rays of dawn appeared, they had reached Duland's outpost.

The news of the expedition had already reached here, and Durand didn't dare to embarrass them like last time, so he obediently removed the barricades and let them go, he left Gordon aside, and greeted Darien and Whitemayne affectionately.

Gordon didn't care about him, and the barriers and prejudices between people were not so easy to eliminate.

After a short rest, the team set off again, and a clear chirp suddenly came from the sky overhead, and Unas looked up, and a golden griffin carrying the knight on his body flew forward quickly, and soon disappeared into the distant mountains.

Gordon said to him, "The griffon knights have been dispatched, and Lord Tairosus must have already set out. ”

Unas, the mount collector, blushed a little at the golden griffon, and stared at the sky in front of him, thinking that he would have to get one sometime.

Gordon didn't care about his wandering, and said loudly in a voice that everyone could hear, "We must speed up, it will be a joke to be caught up by Lord Tairosus." ”

"Full speed ahead!"

"Yes!" More than 30 people in the vanguard team listened to the order in unison, and all the staff sped up and waved the horsewhip in their hands, and the speed of the team suddenly increased by several gears.

After a short march, a green meadow appeared in front of him, and the plants in the Tirisfal woodland were more or less affected by the plague and turned gray in color, but the Poisonous Spider Canyon was an exception, still green and green, and I didn't know what the principle was.

As he passed through the valley mouth, Unas craned his neck and looked into the valley, but there was nothing but a deep green, not to mention elves and dwarves.

At this moment, Gordon suddenly raised his hand to make a gesture, and at the same time slightly flicked the horse's head, and led the team to cut into a forked path.

Unas never asked where Gordon's dreadlord lair was, because the terrain here was too different from the game, and even if he knew, he couldn't find a place, just follow Gordon, but then he couldn't help asking, "Where is our destination this time?" ”

"The lake," replied Gordon, "we are few of us to take the trail, and not to go the way we came." ”

Unas couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, it seemed that he wouldn't pass through the sentry of the ninth squad, the equipment on his body and the war horse under him were all borrowed from Perion, and it was a good thing that he didn't have to face the dead fat creditor.

……

Clear Lake is a medium-sized inland lake in Gallonshire, where the Vanguard Squad arrives before dusk.

There was not a trace of wind around, a faint white mist shrouded the entire lake, the calm water seemed to emit a vague green light, and a few dead fish floated on the surface of the lake on the shore with white bellies.

Gordon raised his fist and motioned for the whole team to dismount and rest, and marched for almost a whole day, only resting a little at noon and eating some dry food, and the soldiers were all sleepy and tired, and they sat down on the ground one after another.

A soldier brought two buckets of lake water, Unas's water bladder was already empty, and he hurriedly rushed to get up, the water in the barrel still looked quite clear, but it was likely to be polluted and had to be purified before drinking.

The soldier took out a small bottle of potion, dropped a drop into each of the two buckets, and said, "It will be purified in a while." ”

Unas also had this thing, and during the break, Gordon gave him a short bow, a bag of iron arrows, three days' rations, and three bottles of potion, but he didn't expect it to be so useful.

Several soldiers began to light a fire to cook, and he also took out a tripod and a pile of pots and pans and began to prepare dinner.

Whitemayne leaned against a boulder with a pale face, the rapid march reminded her of several escapes long ago, and she began to regret her rash actions a little.

She looked up at her targetβ€”the alien of unknown origin, yes, in her mind, Unas was a foreigner, she had never seen a human of this kind of appearance, this person was probably mixed with the blood of other races, aliens were not credible, not even half-bloods!

Cruel orcs and trolls, capricious elves, stubborn dwarves, humanity has suffered too much from these aliens, and she will not allow a single alien to be mixed in with them.

The man was talking and laughing with the soldiers to purify the water, and his performance was a little worse than his, and a self-deprecating smile hung on Whiteman's lips, and his body and mind seemed to have become weak after staying in the comfort of the convent for so long.

But this is the Light's test for me, and I will surely expose the evil deeds of this alien race!

Unas was asking the soldiers for advice on other uses of the potion, when he suddenly felt a man's back on his back, and turned around to find that the big white leg was staring at him fiercely, and he whistled, wanting to tease her.

Whitemane looked away, she stood on tiptoe, raised the white cross staff in her hand high, and prayed aloud the sacred scriptures, and circles of golden light spread out around her body.

The golden light touched Unas's body, and he felt his body loosen and his spirit shook, and the golden aura that circled one after another seemed to take away fatigue and bring vitality.

The spell lasted about ten seconds, dispelling the fatigue and pain of a day's march from everyone's march, and the soldiers bowed to Big White Leg in thanks, and she nodded back.

The spell seemed to only benefit others, and Whitemayne's face was a little pale, but it was worth it to be loved by the soldiers, and she couldn't help but smile victoriously at Unas.

Unas didn't get her point at all, and for the first time he got the smile of the goddess of jerking, he smiled and nodded at Whitemane stupidly.

She didn't see the imaginary expression of Unas, the big white leg almost jumped to her feet, she threw away her staff, and sat on the ground regardless of the image, so frightened that Darian, who was standing on the side, thought she had fallen, and hurriedly came up to help.

Unas inexplicably thought it was amusement and laughed.

It was getting late, and it was not easy to march at night, and the soldiers began to camp after dinner, and Unas pounded the bowl with a spoon, and had little appetite.

Gordon sat down in front of him and turned on the mocking mode again: "I thought it was a noble lady who was picky, it turned out to be Lord Unas, the Holy Favorite." ”

This soul must have been an anti-rider before, this hatred pulled the bar, Unas rolled his eyes and ignored him.

"Military rations are always full, regardless of taste, and if you don't want to go hungry, you have to swallow them," Gordon admonished, and continued, "and two or three miles further along the lake, there is a fishing village, where I was attacked last time, and you can come with me to investigate." ”

After saying that, he didn't wait for Unas to agree, got up and walked towards Darian.

Unas picked up the bowl helplessly, this soul was determined to eat himself.

Darien sat in front of the tent in a daze, and Whitemane rested early, his Sally's sister's stubborn personality had always given him a headache, but this time he was able to join the vanguard through her.

Darian has long wanted to go into battle to kill the enemy, but since the death of his mother, his father has projected all his love on him, he has been protected too well, he has been a probationary paladin for too long, and he also wants to be like a big brother, follow his father to fight side by side with him, and even become a legendary hero like his father one day.

My father always said that he was not ready, and this was a great opportunity to prove to everyone that he was already a proper paladin.

At this time, he noticed that the discoverer of the Dreadlord, Joseph Gordon, the vanguard officer of this operation, was walking towards him, and he hurriedly stood up.

Starting from today, because of the matter of Unas, there seems to be an invisible wall between the two sides, and there is basically zero communication, and this famous "Flame Knight" is willing to take the initiative to break down barriers, which is naturally the best.
