Chapter 12: Miscalculation
"You're Ronin Quest?!" Tyran's face changed, he hesitated for a moment, turned his head to look at Xu Mo and asked softly, "Cole, do you really have to participate in this reconnaissance mission?" ”
As Tyran asked, the room fell silent, and the atmosphere became extremely dull.
"I've had some magical accidents and killed several fellow mages!" Luo Ning's eyes darkened, and he suddenly broke the calm with a speech, "Cole, you have to change your attention, it's still too late!" ”
Xu Mo glanced at Luo Ning in surprise, the mage's confession gave him a new understanding of this nerd, but he immediately replied with a smile, "I am a mercenary stalker, death is my lover, and it is my fate to dance between life and death." Now that I've made an employment agreement, I'm not going to go back on my word! Don't worry, I'll help you complete the reconnaissance mission! ”
"That's right, if you are afraid of death, even the strongest warrior will become a coward!" Tailan's eyes lit up, he stood up, and bowed deeply to Luo Ning, "I was rude just now, Master Luo Ning!" ”
"No, it's okay!" Luo Ning looked up and replied blankly, then lowered his head again and sat down in his seat dejectedly. It seems that the previous magical accident hit him hard, and he still can't get rid of the heavy self-blame.
"It's time for us to go, Knight Bridget!" Tailan glanced deeply at Luo Ning and Xu Mo, and stood up to say goodbye. When he walked to the door, Tailan paused, took out a small ornament from his arms, turned around and handed it to Xu Mo.
"This is ......" Xu Mo took the silver cross pendant and looked at Tailan suspiciously.
"This is the knight badge of the Silver Hand that my father, Tirio Fordin, gave me, with my name on it. He's now the leader of the Silver Crusade, and if you don't find me in the Eastern Plaguelands, you can go find him! Tyran smiled and said, "Good luck, Brother Cole! ”
"So do you, Tyran Ferding Paladin!" Xu Mo smiled slightly and sincerely blessed him.
Seeing Tyran and the beautiful knight Bridget disappear at the end of the corridor outside the door, Xu Mo turned around and stared at Luo Ning with an ugly face, "Say, what's going on with the red dragon!" ”
"This nerd didn't tell you the details of Grimbaatar, and you agreed to his hire?" The elf beautiful girl's eyes widened, and she looked at Xu Mo with an idiot expression, "Shouldn't you be like him, a nerdy stalker?" ”
"......" Xu Mo rolled his eyes helplessly, he couldn't say that Lao Tzu pretended to agree to come down in order to get rid of Tyran and Bridget.
"Necrus, the orc leader of the Dragonthroat Clan, has used an artifact to control the Red Dragon Queen Alexstasa, and now the sky of Grimbaatar is the airspace of the Red Dragon, and even the northern wilderness wetlands of Kazmodan have scattered Red Dragons." The elf beautiful girl explained in detail.
"The Northern Wilderness Wetlands are also there? Then you have to gamble your luck on a griffin ride! Xu Mo was embarrassed and furrowed his eyebrows tightly.
"Don't be so nervous, there are very few red dragons in the wilderness wetlands, and if we go out day and night, we won't run into them!" The elf slapped his little hand and said indifferently.
"Oh, that's good. By the way, are you also a mercenary hired by Luo Ning? Xu Mo breathed a sigh of relief, looked at the female elf and asked curiously.
"No, I'm the Elven Ranger Winresa Windranger. Like Tyran and Kogan, I and the Elven Elders of the Silvermoon Council have come to the Alliance's meeting. After the meeting of the Alliance, I accepted the commission of the Genus Kenrito to escort Ronin to Kazmodan. Winnesa waved her hands back, tilted her head, and bowed gracefully, "Nice to meet you, mighty Phantom Stalker!" ”
"Hello, Winresa!" Xu Mo smiled and stroked his chest with his right hand, bowing down.
"Alright, Master Ronin, cheer up! Tomorrow I'll introduce you to Warlord Kogan Flamebeard, who is not only a mighty earth warrior, but also the leader of a team of griffon knights. We can ask him to borrow a few griffons to give us a ride and take out this damn reconnaissance mission! Xu Mo smiled and patted Luo Ning's shoulder, "You should think about how much you need to pay me!" ”
"Kogan Flamebeard?" Luo Ning and Wen Leisha raised their heads and looked at Xu Mo at the same time, with surprised expressions on their faces.
Ronin blinked, not quite sure, and asked, "Cole, do you mean those dwarves who duel with you at noon?" ”
"yes!" Xu Mo looked at Luo Ning, and suddenly there was a hairy uneasiness in his heart, and a very bad premonition came to his mind.
So he immediately looked back into the corner of the room, and found the dwarf girl Amira curled up in the corner, snorting and soaking in a quiet sleep, and immediately felt a lot more relieved. The dwarves shouldn't leave her alone!
"The dwarves left in the afternoon, and it's been at least six hours by now, and if you ride the griffons, you probably have almost reached Ironforge." The Elven Ranger's next sentence shattered Xu Mo's illusion like a thunderbolt.
Xu Mo froze in place, his face was blue and white for a while, and after a while, he took a deep breath, stretched out a finger with the last trace of hope, and pointed at Amira in the corner, "No, she's still here!" ”
"Then I don't know!" Winetha pouted and shrugged her shoulders.
Holding back the torment in his heart, Xu Mo pretended to smile and perfunctory a few words to Luo Ning and the two. As soon as the two of them were sent out of the room, he immediately jumped into the corner, picked up the dwarf girl, grabbed her shoulders, and woke up Amira like a rattle, "Amira, wake up, wake up!" ”
"Huh? Have you eaten? The dwarf girl rubbed her eyes and asked in a daze.
"Amira, where's your Uncle Cogan?" Xu Mo asked anxiously.
"Kogan? He's not my uncle, what is he? Amira tugged at her pigtails, "Oh yes, it's a nephew, yes, Cousin Kogan!" ”
"Uncle or nephew! Where is he? Xu Mo had no interest in studying the messy generations of dwarves, so he hurriedly asked.
"Amira doesn't know!" The dwarf girl held her hands on her belly, the fat on her big round face wrinkled, and said with a sad face, "Amira is hungry!" ”
"They really had to leave her behind!" As if being drenched from head to foot by a basin of cold water, Xu Mo wailed indignantly, "First Luo Ning, then Kegan!" Lao Tzu won't be the plot character of this world! ”
"Amira is hungry!" Amira sat on the ground and looked at Xu Mo with blank eyes.
"Eat, eat, eat, just eat, your Kogan nephew left you behind, you know? I guess you can't even carry a griffin with this fat body! Looking at the short and ugly dwarf girl, Xu Mo's heart swelled with irritability, and he blurted out a string of vicious curses.
"Woooooo The dwarf girl, who was not very mentally sound, suddenly sobbed in fear when she saw Xu Mo's fierce expression. Bean-sized tears rolled down from his eyes, and his dirty little hands wiped stains on his round face from time to time.
"......" looked at the sad Amira, Xu Mo suddenly felt a burst of guilt, sighed, squatted down and took out a delicate pastry from the storage space, and handed it to Amira.
"Woo~~Woo~~" Xu Mo's approach made the dwarf girl shrink her fat body to the corner of the wall, but she was tempted by the pastry, Amira slowly stopped crying, but she still didn't dare to reach out and take the pastry.
Xu Mo had no choice but to put the pastry in front of her, take a few steps back, and turn his head not to look at her. Emira then carefully picked up the pastry and nibbled on it in small bites.
"Isn't it delicious? These are also for you! Amira, who was concentrating on dealing with food, didn't notice that Xu Mo was already standing beside her with a large plate of pastries in her hand at some point.
"Amira still wants it!" Amira took the pastry in both hands and stuffed it into her mouth, and the sadness just now had been thrown away by her.
"Eat slowly, drink some water!" Looking at the carefree Amira, Xu Mo suddenly found that she was not so dirty and ugly, at least compared to some humans, the heart of the dwarf girl was as pure as a snow-white lamb.
"By the way, Kogan asked me to give this to you, and he said that he could exchange this for something delicious with you." The dwarf girl suddenly remembered something, stuffed the pastry in her hands into her mouth, wiped her hands on her short skirt, and pulled out a crumpled letter from her bosom.
"Oh?" Xu Mo's eyes lit up, he took the letter paper, and looked at it carefully, but he only read a few lines, and he couldn't help but scold.
