Chapter 864: Get the first step
Then why did you reject him? Why not take his advice and return to the Knights, to return to him? Think about it, there will be a solution to the problem. Shandi didn't mean to keep Xu Kai, but gave him advice, what an unpredictable girl.
"I don't know what to do......" Xu Kai still had a hard time making a choice, and he was in a dilemma.
"Listen, Minenda. I was orphaned when I was 6 years old, and the war took my loved ones. I was adopted by the Church in Enugu, became a faithful member of the Church, and then joined the Pope's hand on a mission for the Pope, doing whatever it took for His Majesty's orders. Minenda, that's the path I chose. We are constantly making choices in life, but we cannot predict the outcome of our choices. Nevertheless, we have to face it bravely. ”
"Shandy......" Although Xu Kai has not fully recovered from the incident of meeting Weiss, he also feels that the burden in his heart is being reduced little by little for Shandy's words. For the first time, he felt a hint of kindness and tenderness in the cold woman in front of him.
At that moment, there was a knock at the door. "Come in." Then, Shandy turned to Xu Kai. "There may be some news."
A young man dressed as a crew member walked in.
"How's it going, is the route to Anies clear?"
"The current is very complicated, plus there are storms, and there are so many reefs in the Anies Sea that it is impossible to get there in the current situation. And...... Are you going to go to the Mermaid Sanctuary, it's stupid. It is said that merfolk can seduce their crew with their beautiful singing voices. to drown ships at sea. It's a risky thing to think about, and I won't do it if I have more money. ”
"Oh well. Thanks for the message. Shandy said coldly. It seems that she didn't expect much from this person either.
“…… I'll tell you one more thing. She heard that if she could catch a merfolk and let her go, she would call out to her companions and swim back to the merfolk sanctuary. That's all I know, goodbye. With that, he left without looking back.
"Catch a mermaid...... Shandy said softly. conAd1();
"What?! Do you want to do that? Xu Kai was a little surprised.
"Didn't you hear what you just said, if you catch a mermaid and let her go, she will return to the mermaid sanctuary, if we follow behind. It's easy to find Anies. ”
"No! We can't do that. We shouldn't involve merfolk in this war, they have nothing to do with the world. Xu Kai couldn't help but shout, and a cruel feeling came to his heart.
"Minenda. So what do you say should be done? For now, this may be the best thing to do. Shandi stared at Xu Kai with a stern gaze. Don't raise objections without thinking, and now you should follow my commands. ”
"There must be a better way...... Xu Kai began to think, he didn't want to hurt those mermaids, and he didn't think that this method would work.
"Oh well. Just do what you want. Be sure to find the Merfolk Sanctuary before the Black Wolf Knights. Then bring back the information of the heavenly machine. Shandy paused and said, "If you can do this successfully, then I will break the agreement with you and let you resume ziyou." ”
"Got it, I'll definitely succeed in bringing back the news." Xu Kai's tone was very firm, and he was a little surprised by the second half of Shandi's words, but at the same time, he also had new hope in his heart.
At night, the storm continued. And Xu Kai and Vala stood on the shore. "It seems that the wind and waves will not stop in the next few days." Vala said worriedly. "What do we do next?"
"We pass through the Dora wetlands and then head towards the Anies Sea." Xu Kai thought for a moment. Then the decision was made.
"Dora Wetlands? There are a lot of magical beasts inhabiting there, and if you want to cross there, it is very dangerous, and you will definitely be attacked by magical beasts. And it was full of swamps and bushes, which were very unfavorable for the march. Vala was surprised by Xu Kai's decision.
"Vala, in such weather, neither we nor the other side can sail. conAd2(); In this case, there is only one way to go through the Dora Wetlands. If we can take a risk, we can get to Anies before the other person realizes this. Xu Kai said calmly.
"I see. If you're going to fight in wetlands, be prepared in advance. Vala felt more and more trusting of the young man in front of her.
"Vala, why are you helping me? Is it just to avenge his father? Xu Kai asked suddenly.
"Everything that happened was implicated in the Black Wolf Knights. Why my uncle did this, I want to find out. Moreover, I want to protect Duno with my own strength. Minenda, when I was in the Orabe hills, I already felt that my sword should fight for you. ”
"Walla ......" Xu Kai didn't know if Walla liked him, and his eyes unconsciously stopped at her. Although this Vala is heroic, stronger than men, and superb swordsmanship, she always retains the blood of the royal family, and she is a complete beauty embryo, and she is still a little heartwarming when you think about it......
"Alright, let's get ready. The storm seems to be unstoppable, so we're heading for Dora Wetlands, and we're sure to get to Anies before we do. Vala's words made Xu Kai regain his confidence, and he couldn't help but silently read in his heart: "Vala, thank you......"
The Dora Marsh is a large wetland that covers almost the entire Baustan region, and due to the harsh environmental conditions, few people live here, so it has become a paradise for magical beasts.
Xu Kaijun began to travel through the Dora Wetlands, where the road was much more difficult than expected, with harsh terrain, changeable weather, and demonic beasts that appeared and attacked at any time. Fortunately, there were sufficient preparations in advance, otherwise this force would probably be stuck here.
After eliminating the demonic beasts that stood in the way, after a little rest, Xu Kai was ready to move on. At this moment, a familiar voice came from behind: "Please wait a minute, Minoda-sama." ”
"Huh? Is it Sauen? For this voice, he had heard it many times in the dungeon and on the shore of Manulife Lake, and Xu Kai knew that Xiuen was Shandi's right-hand man, why did he appear here. conAd3();
"Mi-chanda, Mistress Shandy has sent me to assist you, please let me join your team." Xiuen said respectfully.
"Shanti......" Xu Kai didn't know what to say, could it be that she sent Xiuen to spy on her?
"If Lord Xu Kai disagrees, then I will retire and will not embarrass the adult." Xiuen also seemed to see through what Xu Kai was thinking.
"Alright then, Xiuen, I'll ask you for more help in the future." Xu Kai felt that even if Shandi sent him to spy on him, he would have nothing to hide or disadvantage to her, after all, she saved his life, and this kindness still had to be repaid, so it didn't matter whether he was monitoring or not. If Shandy wanted Xiuen to help her, it also happened to add a strong combat power to her troops. Thinking of this, Xu Kai nodded and agreed that Xiuen had joined his team.
After some hard work, Xu Kai's troops finally crossed the Dora Wetland and came to Bangxian Island.
Xu Kai and Vala came to the beach. "Look, Vala, across the side is the Anies Sea." Xu Kai happily pointed to the front and said.
"But...... I can't see anything. Vala's eyes widened, looking in the direction of his finger.
"Ahh Xu Kai suddenly exclaimed, "What's the matter?" What's wrong, Minenda? Vala was also baffled by him.
"Look ahead, there's a ship! It's the flag of the Duchy of Besca! Is it Vess, he won't be here so soon, so who the hell is that? Xu Kai felt both surprised and a little frustrated, he didn't expect that he had worked hard to pass through the Dora Wetland, but he was still preempted by others.
"When the chaos retreats, the land will appear, let's get closer and take a look." Vala proposed, Xu Kai was silent and nodded.
Soon, the retreat was over, and the land was revealed, and Xu Kai and Vala led the soldiers to walk quietly towards the group.
"Tap, don't alarm them." When they were about to get close to those people, Xu Kai said softly to Vala, and then ordered the soldiers to stand by, and the two of them stepped forward to hide behind the rocks to observe their movements, only to find that there was a shivering mermaid around them in the middle of them.
"The upper body is a human and the lower body is a fish, what a wonderful creature, I heard that you can lure men into the sea and eat them, is that so?" One of the Besca soldiers asked the merfolk.
"No, it's not like that......" replied the mermaid in a trembling voice. Xu Kai saw clearly at this time, if she didn't look at the lower body, she was a very beautiful girl, and the current fright made her face pale and trembling, Xu Kai couldn't help but feel a trace of pity for her.
"What are you going to do with this, kill her?" A knight asked his companion.
"Yes. Lord Vess has sent us here on a mission, but now we should have our own opinions and act on the right spots. Kill her so that the rest of the merfolk don't get the news of our arrival and take precautions. "Looks like this guy is the captain or something.
"Hey, hey, wait a minute, I heard that eating mermaid meat can lead to immortality, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity." A rude strong man looked at the mermaid with a greedy gaze.
"Ahh Don't, please don't ...... like this" When the merfolk heard this, they took a few steps back in fright, looking at the men with pleading eyes.
"Mirenda, should we help this merfolk? She looked too helpless. Vala couldn't stand it anymore and said softly to Xu Kai. (To be continued......)
