Chapter 125: Escort Mission (1)

The time Leo spoke of really came.

Although it didn't come very quickly.

On the day I finished my training and became a full member of the Temple Guardian Warrior Regiment, the task of escorting the Fox Clan Emissary Regiment fell on my shoulders.

This morning, we gathered at the training ground as usual, and Captain Billy issued the mission.

"Nine guardian warriors and two priests are needed to escort the fox envoy group back to the fox territory," Billy said, "The list on the side of the priest's house has not yet been determined, on our side, see if anyone takes the initiative, if not, we will forcibly appoint it, after all, this mission is relatively long, and it may take more than a month......

Although Leo had already said something about the plot direction and the like, I couldn't help but be a little surprised when I heard Captain Billy say it with my own ears.

Leo wasn't surprised at all, but just asked me, "It's the end of summer now, and it's almost autumn when you come back, how is it, are you afraid of the cold?" ”

I said, "What's there to be afraid of?" It's just a bit of a hassle...... I promised my dad that they would go back for the recovery festival. ”

"In time," Leo said, "I can understand, if you have money or not, go home for the New Year......

"What does Chinese New Year mean?" I asked, "Do you have a holiday?" ”

"Almost," Leo said, "in short, a lot of people will rush home before the holidays." Of course, there are also some positions that are too important, such as certain armies guarding the frontier, and certain special industries...... But after all, it's only a minority. ”

"Understood," I said, "and I'm going to sign up?" ”

Leo said, "What are you waiting for! ”

I raised my hand.

Captain Billy hasn't finished explaining the task requirements yet: "Also, for the etiquette between the two clans, the Bloodhoof Army can't count on it, we have to cooperate with the leading priest and be prepared to avoid friction...... Uh, Bihon, what's your problem? ”

I said, "Captain, I'm signing up!" ”

All the civilian guardians seemed to know that I was going to say this, and they all looked at me with strange smiles.

The noble guardians also looked at me with strange eyes, including Hicks, whose training period was still over.

"Bihon, your training period is just over, isn't it?" Captain Billy thought for a moment and said.

"Yes, Commander!" I say.

"Good!" Captain Billy said, "If everyone else is as active as Bihong, the reputation of our guardian warriors will be much higher than it is now!" Okay, the requirements are pretty much said, you guys, who else asks to take the initiative to participate in the mission? ”

As a result, the others still did not raise their hands.

"Who is the priest leading the group?" Someone asked coldly.

"Didn't you say it's still undecided?" Without waiting for Captain Billy to answer, someone said.

"It depends on who leads the team...... said the person who asked the question.

Captain Billy said, "No matter who leads the team, someone has to go!" ”

"Then, count me in!" Dole the scalper suddenly raised his hand.

"Yo," Leo said in amazement, "what does this scalper, who is full of money and fortune, think?" ”

Brad muttered in a low voice, "This shrewd boy is also making stupid ......"

At this time, Hicks suddenly raised his hand: "Commander, I also want to participate!" ”

"Hicks?" Captain Billy was surprised and said, "Isn't your training period not yet complete?" ”

I looked at Hicks in surprise, and he also looked at me and said, "You just said that the escort mission is to leave the day after tomorrow, so my training period will be enough by then." ”

Captain Billy pondered for a moment and said, "Since you took the initiative to ask for it, then, I agreed!" ”

"Captain!" Hicks' cousin, Anta, raised his hand, "I'm asking to participate too!" ”

As he spoke, he glanced at me.

Captain Billy looked at Anta and then at Hicks, and agreed: "Now there are four people who have taken the initiative to participate, and there are still five left, who else?" ”

This time, no one took the initiative anymore.

Captain Billy's face sank for a moment, and he whispered, "In that case, I'll name it." ”

He then named five people.

Of the five, there were two noble guardians and three commoner guardians, but not including the ones who were more familiar to me.

The nine-man escort team was confirmed, and Anta, as the temporary squad leader, served as our leader. But in reality, the real leaders of the escort were the two priests.

On this day, we began to prepare.

A few of the families who lived in Thunder City went straight home. Naturally, people like me who come from other places can move freely, stay in the temple, go out to buy sundries, buy equipment, anything.

The next day, we were all about ready when we received a message from Captain Billy.

The men sent by the Priests' House were the male priests who commanded us on the day they discovered the underground labyrinth, and the priests of Atayal!

"Oops, I didn't expect that!" Leo said in surprise.

I'm already happy to know why!

Several other people who participated in the mission were similar.

Many people who didn't participate regretted it, and patted their thighs and shouted: "I knew it was Atayal priest, I should have signed up too!" ”

Of course, there are many people who are indifferent to this.

In short, the personnel of the escort mission are determined.

And the protagonist of the matter, the Fox Clan Emissary Group, did not move at all.

In fact, since a suspicious fox man appeared on the night of the discovery of the underground labyrinth, the fox envoy group has never left the priest's courtyard.

To be precise, the Fox Clan's envoy group was trapped in the residence and couldn't get out at all.

Because I have been to the priests' house so many times, not only have I not met the priest of Atayal, but I have not even met a single fox clan......

As for what they went through, I'm afraid no one knows except the priesthood.

The escort mission starts in a day's time, and when the time comes, something will always happen between me and that fox priestess Erica, and I, I must be prepared to face it all!

In the past two days, the five of us civilian guardian warriors quickly became acquainted with each other, and became much closer than before, especially the scalper Dole, who had nothing to talk to me.

We found a common topic – reckoning, or arithmetic.

"It's strange," said Dole, "that besides us scalpers, there are also minotaurs who are good at arithmetic!" ”

I said, "Actually, it's not that hard to do the math. ”

Leo interjected, "I'll just watch you pretend to be thirteen ...... quietly."

I knew he was laughing at me, after all, without his help, I didn't know at the beginning, but unfortunately, even if I was lying, I didn't have to worry about being poked, so I didn't feel ashamed at all.

Before leaving, Dole and I had a friendly arithmetic game, and I won easily with the help of Leo.

The content of our competition is to calculate the selling price and income of a bunch of goods, which is actually a bit complicated, for example, there are fewer people who sell expensive and buy, and more people buy when they sell cheaply......

To be honest, I didn't even understand the question, but Leo said confidently: "Xiao Yu is dead, the content of elementary school mathematics can't even be used at the junior high school level......"

So, in Dole's shocked and even adoring gaze, I quickly figured it out.

"Bihong, you, it's a pity that you don't go to be a businessman!" Dole said regretfully.

"It's a pity that there are too many things," I said, "and they say it's a pity that I don't be a priest!" ”

"It's true, you guy, you learn everything so fast, and your brain is still bright! But......" Dole sighed a little at first, and then changed his words, "It's a pity, you are from a civilian background, otherwise, in another ten years, I am afraid that the position of the head of the Guardian Warrior Regiment should belong to you!" ”

"Well......" I said with a smile, "I'm afraid you're going to say it's a pity again, because I don't have the plan!" ”

"What?" Dole asked curiously, "Aren't you going to work in the Guardian Warriors?" ”

"Well, I'm too sure for now." I said, "My wish is to defend my hometown and my people, and if I need to, I might do something else, like join the Bloodhoof or something." ”

"Your thoughts, really strange," said Dole, "I thought you were very unusual when you refused to be a priest. ”

"Haha, how can the life of a great man be bound by a simple identity?" Leo smiled and said, "Only by going farther and seeing more widely can we leave a legendary story that future generations will continue to praise!" ”

Leo's words made my heart warm.

That's right, to become a great and powerful character, of course, you have to learn from the heroes of legends, go on adventures, rescue the weak, defeat strong enemies, and continue to create miracles for future generations to come!

"Well, it sounds a little unreliable, but the person who said this is you, and I believe it a little," said Dore, "I heard that your ancestor was the patriarch of a thousand years ago, what is the name of the strong man of Minotaur?" ”

"I'm not sure, probably." I say.

"I support your idea!" Dole said, "In the future, if you become a strong man or a celebrity, I can also touch your light and tell future generations that I used to be your friend!" ”

"Of course!" I say.

"Well, it's really full of speculative ideas, and it's worthy of being a scalper!" Leo said.

"Do you mean a scalper in your case?" I asked.

"Not a serious businessman." Leo said.

"Dole is a very serious businessman." I say.

"Haha, this involves the flawed legal provisions used by you savage civilizations." Leo said, "It's a bit deep, and you may not understand it yet." ”

"There's a chance to have a good conversation, now is not the time," I said, "and you have to be ready." ”
