Chapter Seventy-Three: Difficulties
There were six people in the team, with Gosko at the front and five people behind the carriage to ensure the safety of the carriage. But now that the vignetting powder has been delivered safely, a few people don't look so nervous.
With thick curly hair and a circled beard, Gausskoll looks very unkempt. He didn't care that Joel didn't answer the question, shook the rain on his raincoat, and scolded with a big grin: "We just came back from Cariton to deliver the Dark Corner Powder, and now we're about to go down to the vein corridor again! My brothers and I are so busy that we don't even have a chance to catch our breath, damn it! There have been a lot of strange things in the past two days, the plague has not been cured, and these monsters in the forest are restless again! The hospital just now was full of sick and half-dead patients, and they didn't listen to each other, it's really unlucky!"
There's nothing wrong with Gausskoll's group!Joel is in good spirits, now is his chance to perform!
"It's okay, let's go down first. Don't blame me for not helping you hunt, and we don't have a light burden on our shoulders, so we can't spare time to walk around the forest with you. Gausskoll added that they were in fact very short on time. The task of transporting vignetting powder, when to leave and when to return, was all calculated in time, and Gauscol didn't even have time to buy a bottle of wine on the way.
As soon as Goskol finished speaking, the men behind him were about to leave in a carriage.
"Uncle Gauscol," Joel hurriedly walked up and said solemnly, "we encountered a lot of anomalies while hunting in the forest, and my companion and I guessed that it might be that Becrond had come to the Demonic Mist Forest!"
Goskoll's right foot, which was about to be raised, paused for a moment, and he looked back at Joel incredulously.
It wasn't just Goskoll, but even his five companions were sluggish.
"You...... What do you say?"
Goskoll couldn't believe his ears and asked Joel again.
"I said we guessed that Bernrod might have reached the vicinity of the Demonic Mist Forest. Without hesitation, Joel repeated it again.
Gausscoll and his companions looked at each other, not knowing what to say for a moment.
"Joel, little brother Joel!" Goskoll was stunned for four or five seconds before he figured out what he was going to do next. He walked up to Joel, put his right hand around Joel's shoulder, and said to Joel sympathetically, "I know that with your strength, the hunt in the forest for the past two days must have been very difficult. Let me tell you from the experience of a person who has come before you, the more you have to keep up with your physical strength and a clear head! You can't keep up with the big army? It's okay! Everyone is about the same strength, why are they faster than you? Now it's a little faster than you, sooner or later, ......."
Gosko was about to talk about it, but was immediately stopped by Joel. He said with a little crying and laughing: "Uncle Goscol, the past two days have been very hard, and I have almost lost my life several times, but I am not crazy! I am telling the truth, Bernard has indeed arrived in the Demon Mist Forest!"
Goskoll glanced back at his companion with a wry smile, presumably telling him that he might need more time here. The expressions of Goskol's five companions were also a little strange now, as if they wanted to laugh but forcibly held back.
"Becrond's coming?"
Gosko asked Joel in a childlike tone. The corners of Joel's mouth twitched, but he couldn't help but nod and said, "Yes." ”
Goskoll nodded in satisfaction, seemingly satisfied with Joel's answer. He walked around Joel, looked up at the rain falling in the air, and asked, puzzled, "Where is Bernrod?" ”
"At our feet, sir. ”
At a moment when the situation was a little ossified, Vince spoke. When he saw Goskoll like this, he couldn't help it with the anger that Joel had just extinguished. If Joel and Goskoll were really allowed to say a few more words, he was a little worried that the two of them would be knocked unconscious and thrown here.
"Foot?"
Goskoll was stunned by Vins's answer.
Before Vince could explain further, Joel was the first to say, "Yes, Bernard is supposed to be a monster that can operate underground. ”
Poor Gauscol couldn't figure out what was going on, and he asked, confused, "How do you know that Becrond is an underground monster? ”
He seemed to have guessed something, and said with some seriousness: "Carriton's rumors cannot be used as a basis for our judgment, we are employees of Darkmoon, professional hunters, and we must be even more cautious when it comes to hunting, especially when it comes to legendary monsters like Becrond." ”
He let out a long breath and said slowly: "What's more, the current situation is so grim......"
In the misty rain and fog, Goskoll and his party of six all looked at Joel and Wens silently, Joel suddenly felt heavy psychological pressure, and his palms suddenly oozed sweat.
Goskoll didn't want to spend any longer, and he needed to remind the young man of what he was doing now. Caryton had reached a critical point of life and death, and if a big oolong was to be made because of the selfish desires of a nobody, the consequences would not be affordable for him as an ordinary Darkmoon employee.
"Joel, although we are a bit of a big age difference, the days of drinking together are not too short. Gauscol's voice softened again, he didn't want to be too his friend.
"Tell me honestly, are you trying to make up a reason to escape into the leyline corridor?"
Some words, though unpleasant, always have to be said. The moment Joel listened, his face suddenly turned pale!
Goscol sighed inwardly and continued, "To tell you the truth, I won't blame you for wanting to back down, but I won't send you into the leyline corridor either. We are all members of the Darkmoon, and the honor of the Darkmoon is far greater than my personal desires. But I can give you my gear if you need it. Hope this helps you at least a little. ”
Goskoll's words were so resolute that Joel stiffened his head and said, "Can you give us a chance? I'll prove us right!"
"How can I prove it, will I send you into the leyline corridor?"
Joel was a little dumbfounded by Goskoll's question, but said, "Yes." ”
Goskol's face also became a little ugly, and Joel's stubbornness was beyond his imagination.
Vince had thought that he would be almost successful in convincing his companion to go to the leyline corridor, but he was still too young, and after Rebein, the ice ladder was stuck in front of him again.
He rubbed his eyebrows a little painfully, and said in a low voice, "Sir, why don't you ask how we know how we know for sure that Bekrond has come to the Demon Mist Forest?"
Gauscol wanted to get back to work as soon as possible, but shipping vignetting powder was the most important part of the job, and it was no fun to miss the shift. But now Joel and Vince, the two young men, are determined to enter the leyline corridor, which gives him a splitting headache.
He turned his head and said to his five companions, "Go back to your shifts first, and I'll go back after I'm done here." If the boss blames him, he will put all the blame on me. ”
He fumbled in his arms, pulled out a card, and tossed it to the Darkmoon employee closest to him, saying, "My identification, take it." ”
The man who received the identification nodded and said, "Then we'll go first, you try to hurry." ”
"The dark moon is above. Goskoll saluted.
"The dark moon is above. The man replied.
The five men left with a little bump in the carriage.
As he passed by Goskoll, the man, who was clearly Goskoll's confidant, whispered in his ear, "Stay safe. ”
Goskol nodded imperceptibly.
If the two of Vins are desperate to escape, then Gaussko will have to prepare for the worst.
Soon, the sound of the wheels rolling of the carriage was lost to the sound of the rain.
The burden on Goskoll's shoulders was lifted, and his nervousness disappeared a lot, and his expression was much lighter.
"Tell me," Goscoll said, turning to Vince and Joel, "tell me how you determined Berrond. ”
He waited for the two of them to answer, leaned directly on the trunk of the tree, and took out a cigarette to light it.
Unfortunately, the rain was a bit heavy, and Goskol's match was not lit for a long time, and Joel saw this and turned on the soul seal, and a flame brewed on his finger.
"Thank you. ”
Gausskoll nodded, put the cigarette to his mouth, and leaned in.
Suddenly, Goskol's body froze, and he suddenly remembered what his henchman had told him before leaving.
Now his head is almost in the other's arms, and in such a posture, it is easy for the two of them to kill themselves in an instant.
The hairs on Goskoll's body stood on end, and this instinct of danger had saved his life more than once over the years.
The fine raindrops fell on his face, but he didn't dare to wipe them......
"Hiss......"
Gray smoke filled the air, and the cigarette in Gauscol's mouth was lit. Seeing that Gosko had not come, Joel walked over to help him light it.
"Are you alright? Uncle Goskoll?"
Joel shook out the flames from his fingertips as he stepped back.
Gosko bit his cigarette, retracted his head, and said with a reluctant smile, "It's okay, it's okay." Tell me, time is running out. ”
After he came back to his senses, he shook his head a little incomprehensibly, how could it be a threat to him that there were just two small hunting assistants in front of him?
Even if he was defenseless just now, how could these two people kill him in an instant? He was the one who had been crawling in the depths of the leyline corridor for many years.
Gauscol was a little amused by his strange instincts.
