Chapter 57: Jerichia (2)
"Sage Cassian, have you heard of his name? Committed to solving the environmental problems of the wilderness, he has been studying the flora and fauna there, and is a well-deserved expert in this field. ”
Yericia put down the exquisite teacup, looked at Mu Kai, with a hint of anticipation in his eyes, and said, "So, I want to trouble you to go to the wasteland, find Kasian, and tell him about the World Tree." Originally, this matter should have been handled by me, but there is news from the ivory tower, it seems that there is a new development, and I must rush over as soon as possible, so can I ask you about this matter? ”
Mu Kai hesitated.
Hearing Cassian's name, he basically guessed the content of Yericia's commission, it would take a lot of time to go to the wasteland, and besides, the scope of the wasteland was so large, it was not easy to find someone.
"Don't worry."
Parina knew what Mu Kai was hesitating about, and said to him, "Of course, the course will fall behind, but proper training is also necessary. ”
This student's cherishing of time is not comparable to even the mages in the ivory tower, which is also one of the things worth admiring about Mukai.
"Alright, I'll leave tomorrow for a trip to the wasteland."
Now that the teacher has spoken, Mu Kai knows that this matter cannot be shirked.
Parina's words also make sense, after every mission, his strength, the strength of the entire mercenary group, will improve significantly, and there are countless mutated creatures wandering in the wasteland, which is not only a dangerous place, but also a place where you can improve your actual combat ability.
Shut up in a room all day to read, that's what scholars do.
A smile appeared on the elven elder's face, and he said to Mu Kai sincerely, "I am really grateful, then please." ”
"Rest assured, I'll find the sage as soon as possible."
To be honest, Mu Kai doesn't have much confidence in his heart, of course he will do his best, but in the vast wasteland, looking for people is like looking for a needle in a haystack, and whether he can find it or not depends on some luck.
"You also need to have a guide."
Parina said to Mukai, "Edith of the Warriors' Guild, you know her well, right?" That little girl also has some connections with the Hunters' Guild, and I heard that the tracking technology has been passed on, so I'll say hello to their president, and you can invite her to come along. ”
"That's great, it's still the teacher's thoughtfulness."
Mukai remembered how Edith sat in the reception hall reading an adventure novel, and there was no way to connect her with an experienced hunter, but he still believed the teacher's words, and if Edith was really good at tracking, the task would be much easier.
Now that he agreed to help, Mu Kai quickly said goodbye and left, and there was still a lot of preparation to be done before leaving.
"Hey, wait."
The young elf named Leygien caught up.
"Take me."
"Huh?"
"Go to the wasteland, take me with you."
The young elf looked at Mu Kai very seriously.
"Aren't you going to report to the Sentinels?" Mu Kai looked at him suspiciously.
"I don't want to be a sentry, I stand stupidly all day, and I finally ran out."
"But that's what Jericia said."
"I'm not one of his men, I just happened to meet them on the road."
The elf pursed his lips disdainfully, and said with some smugness, "Tell you, I slipped out on my own." ”
"Why sneak out? I've heard that your village is beautiful. Mu Kai asked casually.
"Alas, I grew up there since I was a child, and I don't think there's anything good, how big the outside world is. A lot of people have left recently, so I'm running out, hey, take me with you. ”
"I'll think about it."
Mu Kai said casually as he walked.
The guy in front of him didn't look like an elf at all, his personality was jumpy, and he didn't have any scheming, Mu Kai couldn't help but want to tease him.
"What else are you considering, my swordsmanship is good, I have passed the knight's certification, and the song is also good, what song do you want to hear? I'll sing it to you...... Hey, hey, wait for me, and the sketch is great, I can paint you a portrait......"
The young elf followed behind and desperately sold himself.
Back at the hotel, Mu Kai found that the guy didn't have a penny.
Except for the set of Misoli armor that could be regarded as an antique, and the elven sword hanging from his waist, he couldn't pull out a single gold coin.
When Mu Kai paid him for his room and food, he looked at him carefully, and the guy looked at Mu Kai with innocent eyes from beginning to end.
Because it may take a long time to leave, Mu Kai summoned the main person in charge of the mercenary group and had some things to arrange.
Clone is approaching the Temple of Inheisa on a new mission.
Those lizardmen are getting more and more fierce, and even the priests dare to rob and kill, the Holy See is very angry, and is discussing the crusade against the lizardmen, this task must be participated in, and to obtain command.
Ari and his team are tasked with assisting the Elven Envoy in investigating the matter of the "Holy Maiden of Light", and Yana was originally arranged to carry it out, but she insists on going to the wasteland with Mukai.
He was accompanied by Kaizhe, Grizzly, Cardina, Saline, and a hard-nosed elven knight, Ray Gene.
Everyone went to prepare the materials that might be needed on the way, the weapons and equipment had to be repaired, the soul bombs and various potions had to be prepared, and there was no place to find supplies in the wasteland.
Mukai's chores have always been handled by Yana, and now there is another one, and Leyjinn not only has no money, but also knows nothing about these things, but happily runs errands with Yana, and has completely become a small sidekick.
As night fell, Mukai estimated that Parina should have communicated with the warriors' union, and was about to visit Edith, but the big-eyed little girl rushed to the door in a hurry.
"Really? Kai, are you going to the wasteland? ”
"yes."
Mu Kai nodded.
"Haha, that's great."
Edith clapped her hands and laughed happily, her big eyes narrowed like crooked crescents.
Mu Kai was confused by the girl in front of him, when did a place like the wasteland have such an attraction?
"It turns out that you want to go too, I was still thinking about how to tell you about it."
"Fool!"
Edith glanced at Mu Kai, couldn't help laughing, and said: "Do you know, I just received a commission from the Hunters' Guild to go to the wasteland, and I am in trouble, and now that someone is with me, I can rest assured, I don't want to go alone in such a terrible place." ”
Mu Kai suddenly became worried about the trip to the wasteland, this guide is not very reliable in any way.
"Well, I heard you're good at tracking?"
"What? Not convinced? I've been trained in hell by Hamil for two years, so it's not a problem to find someone, don't worry! ”
Seeing Edith confident, Mukai still couldn't rest assured.
"Oh, by the way, what are you doing in the wasteland?"
"A member of the Hunters' Guild was tracking a group of mysterious people and lost contact with him when he arrived in the wasteland, and Hamil commissioned me to investigate."
Edith said this, and Edith looked cautious.
"It is said that it is related to 'Celine's child'."
