Chapter 262: Departure (I)
Albert's last muttering did not escape Green's ears, but the young duke had long been accustomed to following the mysterious past of the mage, and although he was surprised that Al was also a lawless fellow, he still did not have the desire to find out.
It's a matter of course, just let it be.
It didn't take long for Zorro, a werewolf dressed as Orion, and Bel Adona, the standard image of a martial artist, to walk out of the store carrying several packages large and small. The group greeted and took the distribution of supplies from each person from the stiff attitude of Zorro, Green glanced at it slightly, dry food and drinking materials were readily available, and even the special walking props in Tania were prepared - a kind of sole attachment called sand net racket, which can increase the force area and prevent the feet from falling into the desert when walking, although heat is a prop that gradually spread after the independence of the barbarians, but the practicality is absolutely passable. Lord Jinlunga, who nodded secretly, opened the other packages and checked the other necessary materials, all of which were readily available, and then relieved himself with satisfaction.
Green looked up and looked at Albert.
At least when it comes to spending money on goods, these two guys not only don't play tricks, but they are quite dedicated, and so far, they are quite sincere.
"So where do you go next?" The first part of the procurement was completed, and Green asked knowingly.
Zorro looked up and glanced at Green.
“…… Furry pens. ”.
Tania's corrals are equivalent to the stables of the human kingdom, and other countries such as Endymion, Nigon, etc., have similar supplies. Due to the different topography of each country, relying on horses alone cannot adapt to all the terrain, just like the Barron Empire and the Kingdom of Rhodeland are located in the meadow plains, galloping horses is the best way to hurry, but once you leave the border, step into the snowy regions of Endymion, the deserts of Tania, the tunnels of Nigon, and even the lava fields of Euver. It is necessary to change the mount, which is often referred to as the matching "foot power" of travelers.
The barbarian kingdom of Tania generally has two types of terrain, the Gobi and the desert, so the application of foot power is also different. In addition to the most common horses, Tania also often uses camels as their customary foot force. However, the first two have poor adaptability to barren mountain terrain, and the only thing they can rely on is to move forward on rugged mountain roads. There is the third type of leg power: the camel beast, a tough creature that looks like a beef cow but is related to the camel.
- Its birth may also be an interesting topic, but I think it's better to skip it.
Otherwise at least two animals will cry.
Green had ridden this steady foot on more than one occasion, so he wanted to test the sincerity of the two. Soon, a little test resulted in a perfect match between the two of them, who did not choose the most expensive camel beast, but the second most expensive one.
"Why don't you buy the most expensive one?" Samael deliberately asked in a voice that could be heard by both of them, "Don't you have a proverb, 'You get what you pay for'?" ”
For the stout camel beast, the little fox felt very novel. Jumping from Green's shoulder to its broad back, it ran around excitedly. The camel beast inherited the docile temperament of the ox and the camel, but he turned his head and glanced at the little guy with big eyes drooping his eyelids, and the tear bell that felt the sight suddenly stopped, and looked back at the camel beast with a curious face, and after looking at each other quietly for a few seconds, the tear bell suddenly lowered his body, and his little paw gently pulled twice on the camel beast's back. The latter chose his trust in the little fox, and turned his head to continue to eat grass quietly.
It's my little fox.
Admire the communication between the tear bells and the camel beast. Green's face was full of joy, and suddenly he heard Samael finding fault on the side, so he had to reluctantly correct: "That's not the common saying of Rodland, it's the proverb of the Chewes." ”
"And, Ah, Samael, you have been right in deciding to travel the world—and not just to meet Your Highness. You really lack experience and knowledge, usually the most expensive part of a commodity is not the best quality, but a luxury for the rich merchant or nobleman to show his status, in other words, it is useless, this is the most basic common sense. Albert put a hand on the back of the camel's neck. While it is easy to gain the trust of the other party, do not forget to lose a sentence or two.
The owner of the foot power shop listened from the sidelines, and the smile on his face suddenly stiffened.
"So, these two guys are quite honest, aren't they?" Samael raised his eyebrows in surprise, and looked back at the two men who were placing their luggage on the camel, as if they were still a little distrustful.
Strange to say, Samael was obviously not too wary when he met Grimm in Jinlunga, otherwise the young duke would not have recruited him easily.
Prejudice against xenobiotics, perhaps?
Green shook his head, usually unhappy and Delga didn't see anything unusual about him, and it was difficult to explain why Green.
Over there, Zorro and Bel Adona skillfully tied up their luggage on the camel beast, and after the demonstration of the young lord on Green's side, they packed up and rode the camel beast. At this point, the preparations came to an end, and the next task was to trek through mountains and rivers to the settlement of Beamon.
"So, you two, let's go now?"
Zorro glanced at his companion, then nodded, and grabbed the reins of the camel beast's belly with his legs, and the camel beast slowly lifted his steps and walked smoothly outward.
"He who has no confidence in manipulating the camel beast walks in the middle, and it itself will follow its own kind." Green admonished, holding the restless little fox to keep up with Zorro's pace. As long as Zorro's information is true, even if he finds the old settlement that Beamon has abandoned, he can use his experience and Albert's magic to find out where they are now, and he has never worried about how to "convince" Beamon to join his camp.
As long as you can find it, you can reach the first step of the Behemoth Legion.
Green was so convinced.
As long as you can find it
Golden Lunga, the city of origin.
It's been a few days since the kingdom's hero, Duke and Duke Greenfield, left the realm, and this time, Kim Lunga also had to face a parting. Although it was not as good as Green's farewell when he left, the lineup was still strong enough to shock the people.
There were not many people who came to see him off, only one person to be exact.
Lilith, the agent of the Golden Lun plus collar and the head of the Wizarding Department.
can make Green's most trusted woman see off in person, and the friendship naturally does not need to be mentioned, and the identity is obviously not an ordinary person. In fact. The Golden Lunga collar is rarely referred to as a "human" because it is a gnoll, a white gnoll.
Timid Altyn, that's its name.
It was joined by the swamp troops, trained by Acesis, armed with hammer-wielding gnolls, and lizardmen with strong bows and arrows. Even the one that Lilith took care of. The female wyvern who volunteered to provide her and Havestasia's bold transformation will also go with her. Except for the head chef Langhua, who asked to stay because he didn't know when Green would return, this is all the troops that Altyn took with him when he fled.
And now, it's going back to the south of Tytalia, the damp swampy land.
Risking your life.
Only for the sake of the one whose heart silently swore allegiance.
“…… The swamp provided is hot and humid, dog, you are used to staying here, the fur may not be used to it, you better hide first to get used to the climate. If you delay a little, your lord won't mind. Standing under the gates of the outer walls of the City of Origin, Lilith took the trouble to advise. Although Altyn is of a different race, there has never been such a thing as racial prejudice in Kinlunga, not to mention that it is still one of the first veterans to join Kinlunga-although it was forced at the beginning, Lilith has a deep relationship with it no less than Havestasia, and after instructing him for a long time, he said that his eyes were red.
In Kingenga, only Lilith will call him "Dog". It may sound like an insult—in fact, Alkin thought so at first, but at least that's how it has been. It has become a symbol of friendship between the two. If the person whom Altyn respects most is Lord Grimm, and the person he fears the most is the military chief Assesses, then the person closest to him is undoubtedly Lilith.
"Ah, bad yes, that. Miss Lilith, don't cry, I'm just going back to my hometown, and there will be no problem...... Probably...... Ahhh......h The gnolls and lizardmen who were already lined up behind were silent. It shows that he is well-trained, but his heart is also full of reluctance.
They never complained, and many of them were ready to wander around for a lifetime, and no one thought that one day they would find a place like home outside the swamp.
They are reluctant to leave.
But they are also clear to everyone, and if you want to protect your homeland, you can't do nothing.
So when Altyn, whose reputation as "cowardly" spread throughout the territory, found them and offered to return to Titalia to gain the power of his former ally, the snakeskin, everyone agreed without hesitation.
In the process, no one had the idea of escaping.
"The swamp troops can't just be a dream of adults."
Altyn grimaced, but his tone was extraordinarily tough. It stretched out its furry paws, and the soft pad pressed against Lilith's hand.
"Rest assured, Miss Lilith, trust us, we will succeed."
Then it turned, not daring to look at Lilith again, and walked away, and behind the gnolls and lizardmen neatly made a way, and when Alkin had passed, they all greeted the amiable human lady at the door, and Lilith had always been the best of them except the lord.
Goodbye, Miss Lilith, we'll see you again.
A silent goodbye, in Altyn's heart. He walked to the front, rejected the steed brought by the human soldiers, snorted, and led the team quickly. Lilith stood under the city gate, holding back her tears, only seeing Algin's back, but she didn't know that the jackal, who had finally become handsome for so many seconds, quickly collapsed her face.
Southern Marshes ...... It's still so dangerous when you think about it!
Will it die?
The gnoll shook its head, knowing that it wasn't smart enough to do everything like Lord Albert.
At least I can't die until I gain power for my lord.
So, then don't want to. (To be continued......)
