Ninety-one The expedition is imminent

Out of curiosity, I followed Salvador and Hotty to meet Aardman. He's got the train and supplies to Casablanca, and the people he's recruited are moving the supplies to the train.

Aardman could have been promoted to marquis, but he refused because the expedition kept him busy.

He was wearing a vest, which had become very dirty from carrying heavy loads, and with sweat dripping, he now looked like a low-level bricklayer.

There was a miasma of smoke and a stinking gutter, and I covered my nose with a handkerchief to show my noble status and elegant manners.

Aardman put a large box on the train and asked, "Is the kid who attended the funeral back?" And the Juggernaut of the Black Coffin? ”

I saw that these people were rude and dirty, as if they had been released from death row, and frowned, and said, "Sammy, do you really want to go with them?" ”

"We've already discussed it," Salvador said. ”

I said, "It's time to employ people there, so would you like to leave?" ”

He sighed, "I'm sorry for Brother Missey, but I've told him, and he's agreed, and blessed me and Hotty. ”

I walked past them, looked at them, touched them, and said, "Why is this so dirty?" I'm afraid that I don't even have clean dishes and chopsticks, I don't even have a toilet to sit on, I don't even have a towel to wipe my hands, and I'm afraid that there are no vegetables and fruits at night, will I sleep on a hard iron bed? My Sami has never suffered this kind of hardship since she was a child, how can she live this life? Don't let him get bogged down. ”

The barbarians burst into laughter, Salvador's face turned red, and Hotty said, "Don't talk nonsense, he's used to it when he was a knight!" ”

I'm a very wife-loving person, and Lamia definitely doesn't want Sammy to go to that kind of weird place and do weird things.

I thought I had to mess with it, so I put my hands on my hips and said to Aardman, "Alas, Count, I tell you, you must treat our Sammy well." Where's our Sammy? is an honest child, and the most obedient and sensible, don't bully honest people, do you hear? If it is not good for him, I will go to the scepter and complain to you. ”

Salvatore shouted, "Langi, don't say it!" ”

I said, "What? Look at you, dare to talk back to me before you leave? I'm here for your good, you're learning from them! You feel like your wings are stiff now, and you can fly away, right? Okay, you go, you go! If you leave, don't recognize me as my own mother.... No, it's my brother-in-law! ”

"Salvador, go to the back, there's still goods to be moved," Aardman said. ”

El Salvador wanted to leave, so I pulled him and said, "Sammy, remember, you have to eat vegetables every morning, noon and evening, and you have to brush your teeth, and you have to brush your teeth for three minutes. Yes! By the way, you can see that there are all strong men here, and all of them have incredible muscles. You have to be careful, they are all looking at you with very philosophical eyes now, and when you go to bed at night, you'd better get a lock to block your back...."

He roared and sprinted to the pile of containers, and I wanted to chase after him. Aardman stopped in front of me and said, "Hello, Juggernaut. ”

I had no choice but to say, "Why did you lie to my brother-in-law about some expedition?" What is Casablanca? Is this expedition dangerous? ”

Aardman smiled and asked rhetorically, "Do you know why I let Messena win?" ”

I replied, "Because you don't want to be a duke?" I don't know, you're a demon hunter and therefore don't want to stay in the dungeon? ”

He said: "Mirse has shown the power of the devil, and if I were the same as before, he would have died." I don't care if it's a duke or not, but demons, blood clans, these aliens, I don't care about killing them. ”

I thought to myself and asked, "Then why did you change your mind?" ”

Aardman: "You tell me that story, the story about the Bloodlines being human, and I was touched by it. ”

I breathed a sigh of relief and said, "It's good that you can listen to me, but why do you think Miser isn't the kind of depraved demon?" ”

Aardman said: "The four shadows he summoned are not aimed at my vital point, he does not want to kill me, even when he is about to be defeated, or even when he is about to be slaughtered by me. ”

Milsey can be regarded as a good man with a good reward, and when I hear that a good man has a good reward in such an era, I almost wonder if I am really crazy.

Aardman looked at the old train, his cynical expression was rare with joy, and said, "I think Misser is the material to be a duke, he will be very strong in the future, he will be far superior to me, even close to you, and he is different from Dunn, very similar to Bostetus, he is very stubborn, and stubborn people are not easily corrupted." ”

I only heard the words "even close to you", which filled my heart with a bad feeling, I don't think I'm a jealous person.... No, I'm actually a very jealous person, and Missey wants to be on a par with my Black Coffin Sword Saint? Hmph, how is that possible? One mountain does not tolerate two tigers, how can others sleep peacefully on the side of the couch? I've got to figure out a way to distract Misser and get stronger, maybe I should give him a matchmaker and try to squeeze this kid dry....

Aardman: "Do you feel the change?" ”

I asked, "What's changing?" ”

He flicked his hand in the air, which made me think that he had the potential of a literati and inkman, or at least in full swing, and he said, "After the Battle of the Rift, the demons are withdrawing. ”

"Withdraw?"

Aardman replied, "I've been fighting demons for half my life, so I can feel it. The Battle of the Rifts not only stopped the Anno Empire, but also made the demons feel something. These brainless beasts are finally scared, they are leaving us, leaving the territory of the Sword and Shield Society, and before long, there will be no more demons on the ground or underground. ”

I rejoiced, "Really? If that is the case, it would be great news. "The biggest difficulty we have encountered at the moment is the mutated sun, and the ubiquitous demons, among which the demons are the most troublesome because the sun brings chronic mutations. If the demons are not there, it will be several times easier for us to scavenge waste, and humans can go to various places to settle down. Our trade will be more developed, and our population will grow very quickly.

Aardman said, "I found someone to calculate the area of influence of the Seal Rift, which is about three hundred kilometers in radius, and to be precise, it just includes Bunsa. Unfortunately, the Black Coffin and the Cry are out of range, and the demons are now running to you. ”

I exclaimed, "Wow! Affection: We are your trash can? You've cleaned up the garbage, we're in bad luck. ”

Aardman laughed, "There must also be a huge rift near the Black Coffin and the Cry, and if you close the rift there, the demon will leave." ”

"Where's that rift?"

Aardman spread his hands and shook his head: "I don't know, maybe this rift is like a human disease, there is an incubation period, and there is no sign yet, I estimate that it will be soon." You can also look for it, usually the place with the most demons is the Rift. ”

I think the rift is like an ember crystal, we have to find it, and when we find it, maybe we can use the rift system energy, or we can close the rift to ensure safety, the question is, where do I go to find the kind of bomb that Ambrosa gave me? That's the power of ten nuclear bombs.

"Casablanca was the dungeon metropolis of the Sword and Shield Society a hundred years ago, but a hundred years ago, it fell, the demons captured it, and they multiplied there, and it was a big lair," Aardman said. Originally, it was a dead end to want to set foot there, but now it's different. ”

I nodded, "The rift is closed." ”

Aardman was overjoyed and said, "Indeed, when the rift closes, most of the demons of Casablanca will flee, and there are buried artifacts, technology, food, and water from the Sword and Shield Society. The expeditionary force I lead will purge the remnants of demons and return the cursed city to the Sword and Shield Society. ”

I frowned and said, "Just a hundred of you?" Who are these people? It doesn't look very strong. How many demons are left? ”

Aardman replied, "A friend of mine is good at statistics, and he thinks based on a model that a rift can get 98 percent of demons away. I expect that there are more than a thousand demons left in Casablanca, which can be handled. ”

"And those black demons and lava demons, you can't just be small."

"The guys I'm looking for are tough guys, bad guys from Dunn, Baudelaire, and Neff that got them in jail," Aardman said. Those three guys probably fell, so I bailed them out without incident. Their martial arts are very good, and they are not afraid of hardship, most of them are unconcerned, and we can let it go. ”

I wanted to tell him that if he stayed, he would probably become the next duke, because Neve and Baudelaire were dead, and the two vacancies, one would probably be given to the little apprentice of the Scepter, Ray Python, and the other would be none other than Aardman.

But if you think about it, that's not what he's after, so why should I say more?

"Casablanca is a long way away, 150 kilometers from here, and the train can only get us to Grohe for 100 kilometers, and the remaining 50 kilometers are not easy to walk, and the traffic is blocked," Aardman said. So, there are barren mountains and mountains. When I asked Norman for military action, she didn't say yes or agree with what I called the 'Demon Evacuation Theory', she said that we should devote our energy to dealing with the Anno Empire, so I had to do it myself. ”

I said, "Norman is right, and there is no urgency in the Casablanca matter. ”

Aardman: "No, there is a very important secret hidden in Casablanca, and the Anno Empire is pervasive, and that secret cannot fall into their hands. ”

I sighed and asked, "If you clean up Casablanca, you can just take the mountain and be the king there." ”

Aardman said: "I haven't written a word yet, don't you put up a flag for me?" ”

I laughed and said, "Take care of Salvador and Hotty." ”

"No one is going to take care of anyone, but as long as they're willing to fight, they can eat well and sleep well," Aardman said. ”
