Verse 111: Go Far Away (2)
Old Hoffman listened to Marlin's request to accompany Logan and Mimian out, and Marin unexpectedly agreed.
"That's right, you kid has been nesting in this small part of Fort Carter for a long time, it's time to go to the central provinces to see the world, although those nobles in the north are old-fashioned, but at least they are orthodox enough."
Old Hoffman said to himself, took a small bag from the drawer and threw it over.
Marlin caught it, a little heavy, 20 pounds to say the least.
"By the way, since you are going over there, give what you have in your hand to the bishop of the Goddess of Harvest in Pamir City, and tell him that this is what I owe him, and he will understand."
"Okay." Marin nodded without saying a word.
"Aren't you curious?" Hoffman Sr. asked.
"Curiosity is a cat's worst enemy, and so are humans." After Marin finished speaking, he raised his eyebrows: "By the way, I'm going to bring Faye, Jessica, and my sister Maya." ”
"No problem, but bring this." Old Hoffman put a few badges on the table: "This badge can bind you, if something happens to any of you, or if you are attacked, these badges will be broken and your last coordinates will be passed back, and then I will take all the people and kill him upside down." ”
Marin nodded and put away his badge: "Then I'll go first, mentor." ”
"Go ahead, go see the outside world, and remember, beauty can't last forever, so have fun."
Since old Hoffman said so, Marin took the girls and the prepared luggage with peace of mind and marched towards the Central Province with the team composed of Logan and Mimian.
The Mimi family and Logan's family supported the two children's actions this time, and four carriages and a wagon followed the whole process, and if it weren't for Mimian's apprenticeship promotion ceremony, both families would have been able to prepare at least one team of private knights.
Originally, they were very worried, but after hearing that Marin was helping for free, they were finally relieved, and Marin was shocked to realize that he had a lot of fame in the aristocratic family of Fort Carter.
Marlin then heard from Logan that his name had taken the direction of the Nighthoof, and Logan had heard older students say more than once that Marin's story was used to scare his younger siblings, and it was said to work well.
This made Marin very unhappy, and he decided to wait until he came back to continue the training battle at noon every day, and carry out the re-education of the love of Little Branches, Iron Fist and Flying Legs to the end.
Oh, by the way, Twig has recently got a new name - Fio.
Maya helped it take it, and Twig had recently been able to transform itself into an elemental creature, and Maya thought of naming it that day when she saw Twig transform herself into a fairy.
Although the twig can't speak, it only needs to lie on Marin's head, and as for Milani, he can only be aggrieved and pick it up on Maya's head.
As for why...... Why do you need it, Milani can't beat Fio at all.
The grudge between these two little bastards doesn't matter to Marin, whoever has the biggest fist can sit on top of Marin's head.
After all, natural selection, but Milani also has an increase in fruit every day, which makes the little squirrel have no complaints.
After all, as long as it's a head, who isn't lying down.
It took a week to get from Fort Carter to the Pamirs, so high speed made Marin a little curious, and later learned that the infrastructure between the major cities in the United Kingdom of Sidney was complete, and they took a major road from Fort Carter to the Central Province, and this section of the road in Fort Carter was maintained by the nobles and chambers of commerce in Fort Carter, and the streets of each area were the same.
There are even small villages between cities.
Marin spent their first night in the middle of Fort Carter and Higdi, the largest of the three western provinces of Higdi, and the capital of Fort Carter.
It is said to be a very large metropolis and the home of the Kanna family.
As for why the Cana family lived in Fort Carter, according to Faye, Fort Carter has a better environment, cleaner air, and most importantly, the sea and the sea breeze usually take away a lot of unnecessary trouble.
Then Marin thought of Paris and London...... Oh my God, can you not go into the city.
With the fear of the unknown, Marin checked the parking lot at the back of the hotel again, and after confirming that the mercenary team in charge of the escort was doing their duty, Marlin asked Fio to give their dwarves a treatment - their dwarves were hit by an arrow in the knee before the mission, although they were able to walk, but the wound was not completely healed, considering that it was the mercenary introduced to them by the elf who fought against Chaos with Marin, Marlin agreed to their request to bring the dwarven shield guard and do a divine magic treatment for him once a day.
This made the mercenaries grateful to Dade - the divine spell used to heal the mercenaries costs money, but Marin is here for free treatment, and the healers of their mercenary team have also confirmed that Fio's healing technique looks like treating minor injuries, but the healing effect has caught up with the treatment of serious injuries.
After yesterday's first treatment and today's second treatment, the dwarf's knee was completely painless, and in his words, if he was asked to climb the Hasami fortress now, he would be able to jump all the way up like a goat.
"You were introduced by that Mr. Cisse, so I'm relieved." Marin nodded: "The rooms in the hotel are full, so you can only rest in the tent, and the safety of the carriage at night will be handed over to you." ”
Marin is responsible for the safety of the girls tonight - this kind of small village has a record of being attacked by spirits, and the hotel is not too peaceful, Marlin must first take care of his companions, especially Logan and Mimian, you must know that recently I have always seen the two people who love each other either live and die or die together, Marin is a little scared.
He couldn't just take the mercenaries and the girls back to Fort Carter the next day, and tell their families that they weren't able to protect them last night, but considering they died together, it was a blessing.
It's no wonder, the two adults must not eat Marin alive.
"No problem, Mr. Marin, leave it to our Blood Rain Team here." The commander of the mercenary team, a middle-aged man with long Mediterranean hair, nodded vigorously.
Marin responded with a smile on his face: "Then I'll go first." ”
………………
As Marin left, the dwarf sighed, "I have never seen such a talkative nobleman. ”
"He's not a nobleman, he's a noble priest." The halfling in leather armor rolled his eyes at the big boss in his ranks.
"It's the priest of the Harvest Church." The other halfling added.
"They're apprentices." As a human being, the female mage sighed: "Don't mess with that young master. ”
"But in any case, a very good transcendent." The barbarian in the team moved his wrist as he said this: "He treated my wrist yesterday, I feel very good, my wrist has been hurting since the injury last year, and I am fine after being treated by him." ”
"At this point, we need to ask our lovely therapist lady." The gnome wiped the musket in his hand as he turned his head to look at the healer in the group.
Then the little girl gave him a blank look: "I can only use the four-ring technique, and I am not as good as Mr. Marin." ”
"If you can face up to your own shortcomings, you will make progress." The gnomes grinned to the base of their ears.
Then the next second, the therapist shot an air hammer out of the tent, and caused the team members to laugh.
The middle-aged man smiled and shook his head: "Jerry, you and Lao Tie Fist are responsible for the first half of the night, and Sharif and I are responsible for the second half of the night." ”
"No problem." The dwarf and the halfling in leather armor got up and walked to the exit of the tent, where they passed by the dwarf who came back with his waist covered, and the old dwarf patted the dwarf on the head: "Don't make our little cutie angry next time, or the next air hammer may hit you on the head." ”
………………
Back at the hotel, Marin began to set up defenses - first he chose to strengthen the exterior wall of the first floor of the hotel, although it was only a very ordinary mud to stone, and the walls made of bricks and mud were turned into an all-stone structure, and the person in charge of the hotel was a little flattered, and Marin did not want the room fee he wanted to be refunded.
After all, as a hotel, he can keep the rooms clean, and he deserves the room money.
Then on the second floor, Marin also strengthened the exterior walls, and at the same time renovated the interior walls, opening up a few rooms with a few small doors suitable for children's movements, which will be repaired when he leaves tomorrow, and now it will be opened for the convenience of the time.
As for the windows, Logan and Marlin reinforced several of them with sandbags, and the others were simply treated with detonating traps - if something tried to enter the room by hitting the window, a directional mine made by Marin through the tool shop would shoot silver-seeping lead and fragments in the direction of the window.
Unless it's a ghost, anyone else will face a moving 'wall' of deadly fragments and lead pellets.
"I'll be in the middle of the night." Logan said.
Marin shook his head: "I'm in the middle of the night." ”
………………
Logan naturally couldn't compete with Marin, so he could only wake up Marin in the middle of the night, looking at the radiant Marin, his face was full of doubts: "You only slept for about four hours, is it okay." ”
Of course, Marin has no problem, and the awakening of the bloodline allows Marin to sleep less than four hours to recover his fatigue.
According to Ferrero Elder, as Marin chooses a formal sequence, while his physique increases, he will gradually become immune to diseases, and he can go for several days without rest without feeling fatigue - of course, the premise of this is to choose a sequence that can greatly increase his physique, if he becomes a mage, then Marlin needs to sleep at least eight hours a day - this is the easiest and only way to recover the psychic energy of the spell other than to drink the potion.
"It's okay, you go to sleep." Marin took the revolver handed over by Logan and patted Rogan on the shoulder: "Go ahead." ”
So Logan lay down on the bed, and Marlin went to check the girls' rooms.
Maya slept very lightly, and as soon as Marin passed, her ears pointed at Marin, and then she raised her head: "Brother." ”
"I'll check it, it's not my own room, can't you get used to sleeping?" Marlin noticed that Lilim was sleeping very dead, and it seemed that the little lamb really didn't recognize the bed.
"Hmm...... Brother, I kind of understand how hard Dad is out there. Maya said with a pout.
Marin nodded, his sister could understand his father, which made him very happy: "Sleep, I'll go to another room." ”
After saying that, Marin pushed open the door, and there was an earth element blocking the passage on each side of the corridor, and when they heard the sound of the door opening, they immediately cast their eyes on it, confirmed Marin's identity, and then turned their heads back.
Marin gently pushed open the door to Faye and Mimian's room, and after making sure that the two of them were sleeping on the bed, Marlin closed the door, and then entered Jessica's duty room through the small door.
"Marlin." When the wolf girl saw Marin, she immediately laughed happily: "It's okay on our side." ”
"It's fine, Kloss."
"She's in the room over there."
So Marlin went over to look again, and saw that the bunny girl had rolled herself up with a blanket.
It really doesn't look like a lady's sleeping position.
Back in the duty room, Marin was about to leave when Jessica came over and gave Marin a kiss on the forehead.
This made Marin a little puzzled, wait a minute, isn't kissing the forehead something the elders do to the juniors?
But despite his doubts, Marlin smiled and returned Jessica a kiss.
"I'll go downstairs and take a look, you pay attention upstairs, and if there's a problem, blow the whistle to wake everyone up."
"Leave it to me, Marlin, and be careful."
Saying goodbye to Jessica, Marlin walked out of the duty room with the revolver, and the elemental creature leading to the first floor in the hallway made a small empty space for its owner, and Marlin slipped through.
The lights on the first floor were still on, and several caravans were still drinking there, this caravan belonged to the Chamber of Commerce of the Eastern Kingdoms, and their end would be Fort Carter, sell the beautiful blankets, and then buy salt at Fort Carter, and then take it back to the interior.
The caravan consisted of about fifty wagons, and several squads of mercenaries were guarding them.
Also because of the large number of people, they did not stay in a hotel, but set up a camp on the edge of the village, and these mercenaries must have sneaked out to drink.
Marin's presence made the mercenaries nervous, but when they found out that it was Marin, they immediately took off their hats and saluted - Marin had treated two mercenaries who had been injured on the previous journey, treating their broken bones.
"Young Master Marin, you're keeping vigil." The mercenary in the lead noticed the gun in Marin's hand and asked with a smile.
"Yes, come down and take a look, I'm worried that the store manager's daughter is looking at the first floor alone, and it's not very safe." Marin looked around and put away his gun after confirming that there was no danger.
"You don't have to worry about this, when our caravan passes by, we will help Mr. Storekeeper." After the mercenary finished speaking, he smiled at the thin girl: "Little Lena, are you right?" ”
"Yes, yes, but if you drink less, I'll be more at ease." The store manager's daughter pouted.
Marin could only smile - not letting the mercenaries drink, what difference was that from killing them.
Then Marin thought about it, there is still a difference, killing them is a knife kung fu, and not letting them drink is afraid that it will make them unbearable more than killing them.
