On the Loftlov Plains, three carriages marched unhurriedly along the road, the wheels of the carriages creaking, and the wind making a reassuring sound as the trees and meadows of the plain.

As the Silver Sword squad sat leisurely in their carriages, John the Dwarf took a flask from his waist, uncorked it and gulped it into his mouth, then wiped his mouth with satisfaction.

Every now and then he would have a "little" wine, well, a "little" for him, God knows why he had so much wine in his jug, maybe it was a piece of space equipment.

Jill the lizardman sat quietly beside him, wiping a short knife in his hand with a clean handkerchief, he loved cleanliness, as could be seen from the shiny blade of his knife, and because of this, he did not like to sit with dwarves.

Glancing at the dwarf beside him, Jill sighed, turned sideways and sat a little farther away.

Lily was sitting in another carriage with a magic book in her arms, she liked to read magic books, which made her very knowledgeable about magic, and even knew some very advanced magic forms, but she couldn't use them because of her lack of magic power.

And Lorna, she was driving the carriage with two black circles, and in the past few days, because of the supervision of the team members, she has not once harassed the client's entourage, well, that is, Chu. The excessive depression kept her awake at night, and on the third day of her departure, she hadn't slept for two nights.

Mann lay in the middle of a carriage and took a nap, the sky today is rarely open sun, the winter sun is always called a gift from the gods by the people of the mainland, but it should be cherished.

As for how to cherish it, what better way to do that than to lie down in the sun and get some sleep?

Mann slept deeply, drooling from his lips, and even the jolts of the carriage could not disturb his sweet dreams. Judging by the smirk on his face, he probably dreamed of himself lying on a pile of gold coins again.

Chu Chu, who was sitting next to him, glanced at him, shook his head helplessly, and wiped the saliva from the corner of his mouth with a black cloth condensed by evil.

Chu didn't want his saliva to stay in the carriage she was sitting in.

Originally, everyone thought that this commission or trade route would be spent as peacefully as a trip.

But by noon on the third day, the Silver Sword team seemed to be starting to notice something unusual.

At noon that day, when the carriage was parked on the side of the road to rest, John the Dwarf lit a bonfire and sat by the fire and boasted about his cooking, and according to his words, the food he cooked could not be walked even if the dragon smelled it.

However, it was clear that the other members of the team did not care, they had been together for so long, and naturally knew John's situation, and he had to put alcohol in everything he did.

This may be a necessary seasoning for dwarves, but for ordinary people, it should not be acceptable to the way of cooking with wine as water.

If the dragon smells his food and can't walk, it's drunk.

Jill the lizardman catches a few hares and comes back to cook the meat, and as usual, the mage Lily cooks it.

Lily is the only one of them who can make food for human consumption, and although she looks a little weak, she is an adventurer after all, and she will not be as bloodless as ordinary girls.

She cooked a few rabbits neatly, and when the meat was ready, the faint aroma of meat quickly filled the path.

Mann was immediately attracted to sit down to eat together, when Lorna, who had been paying attention to the beginning, finally couldn't help but ask the question she had been wanting to ask two days ago.

"Isn't she coming to eat?" Lorna said, gesturing to Hatsu, who was sitting not far away.

"Oh. Mann shrugged his shoulders and said nonchalantly, "She doesn't need to. ”

So saying, he picked up a roasted hare and took a bite.

"Well, that's delicious. ”

Mann, who was focused on the food, didn't notice that the members of the Silver Sword team had strange looks on their faces.

Lorna didn't mention that they hadn't noticed it yet, and after thinking about it, it seemed that Chu hadn't eaten anything for three whole days.

Even the most hungry lizardfolk generally don't go hungry for so long, especially if they seem to be just ordinary humans at first glance.

At the beginning, it couldn't have been treated unfairly.

However, Mann was the client after all, and even though there were doubts in his heart, the members of the Silver Sword Team endured it and did not ask questions.

Until the evening of the day.

At nightfall, the procession stopped again. Since they were still some way from the nearest supply city, they simply set up a campsite and lit a campfire to spend the night on the side of the road.

At the beginning of the dinner, they still hadn't eaten it, and the members of the Silver Sword who discovered this were silent, which made the dinner much quieter than usual. Mann seemed to sense something different, too, but he didn't know what was going on.

After the meal was over, the group was ready to go to bed, and Mann said with a smile and a wave at Hatsu.

"At the beginning, then I asked you to keep vigil tonight. ”

"Hmm. Hatsu made a hoarse voice, nodded flatly, and walked to the side to find the place where the vigil would be.

She didn't need to sleep, so the vigil was always given to her.

However, the Silver Sword Team didn't know this, and they glanced at each other, both of them seeing a hint of solemnity in each other's eyes.

Like eating, they thought back and realized that the task of vigil for three consecutive nights was given to Hatsu, which means that Hatsui had not slept for three consecutive nights.

Even a physically powerful adventurer can't withstand such torture.

Not being allowed to eat or sleep is no longer an unfair treatment, this is clearly abuse. Even if it was Mann's entourage at the beginning, they couldn't stand it, and this would kill people.

And Chu's bland look made them more nervous, which means that Chu is used to being treated like this, or is Chu afraid to show his exhaustion and pain, for fear of being punished more severely by Mann?

The four members of the Silver and White Sword team who had made up these in their brains glanced at each other with heavy faces, and they did not make a sound, and each went back to their resting place.

In the evening, Mann fell asleep, lying soundly asleep in his sleeping bag, unaware of the small voices not far away from him.

The members of the Silver Sword Squad all got up, and they sat around each other, frowning and discussing what they had seen and heard today.

"You should have seen it during the day. John the Dwarf sat cross-legged on the ground with his hands in front of his chest and blew his beard: "I hope I'm not the only one who thinks like this." ”

"That entourage, in the midst of abuse. ”

There was a dangerous glint in the eyes of the lizardman Jill, who had been an enslaved race until the last epoch, with a history of blood and tears. So in their eyes, any form of slavery and abuse is unacceptable.

"I'm not sure yet, but I think so. ”

Lily pursed her lips as she held her staff in both hands, glanced carefully at Mann, who was lying not far away, and whispered.

"I originally thought he was a good person to get along with, and I didn't expect such a young child to be ······"

Mann was only twelve or thirteen years old, and even Lily, the youngest member of the group, was just a child.

"You don't know your face, Lily. Lorna pressed the hilt of her sword at her waist and gave her answer in a cold voice.

"We should help that entourage. ”

"What about the mission?" asked Jill the lizardman, and if they did, the client would most likely unilaterally cancel the mission.

"It's nothing more than a few months without alcohol. John the Dwarf knocked on his flask and grinned, "Bear with it and it's over." ”

The lizardman closed his eyes, he was usually the calmest member of the group, but this time, he wanted to be impulsive.

It opened its eyes again and nodded in reply, "I agree." ”

"I agree. Lily whispered her position.

"Hmm. Lorna replied in a deep voice: "Then I'll go talk to that entourage, so that we can have a showdown later." ”

"Okay, I'll leave it to you. "The rest of the team had no objections.

Lorna took a deep breath, stood up, and walked towards Hatsu, who was standing on the hillside in the distance.

Finally able to talk to this long-awaited person, she was somewhat excited, although the situation in front of her was grim, but she still couldn't help but think that maybe after her hero saved the beauty this time, the other party would fall in love with herself. I may have a few shirks, but at the insistence of the other party, I have no choice but to accept it. After that, the two will fall in love, and after a singing and crying love, they will step into the palace of marriage together.

On the wedding night, she would shed the last cover on herself and reveal everything to herself······

"Hmm. Thinking of the last step, Lorna covered her nose and stood at the bottom of the hill with her chest clutched and bent over.

She felt some heat in her nose.

Calm down, Lorna, now you have to calm down, solve the problem in front of you first, and save her from the terrible teenager is the most important thing.

With this in mind, Lorna straightened up again, looked firmly at the figure on the uphill side, and walked up.

ps: I'm outside during the day today, so the update is a little late, I'm sorry everyone.
