Chapter 11: After that, it's hard in the middle

"Although I am not good, I do not want to squander my ill-gotten gains. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info," said August.

"Whatever you want, big guy. Serena said.

"In a place like Tree Bottom Village, I don't think there would be someone with such financial resources to buy your stolen goods. Klinos said.

"Do you have any good ideas, Clinos the Wise?" said Serena.

"There are many ways for mages to make money, and some tricks on the street will not starve to death. Klinos said.

Scraps of copper could not support the cost of the journey, but Ogst was determined not to use Serena's dirty money, so he had to do so.

"There are many bounties everywhere, robbers and wild beasts. It's not a big bounty, but it's enough to cover our expenses along the way. Augerst said.

"Well, our Stick of Truth expeditionary team is now going to be bounty hunters. Serena said dissatisfiedly, "What's next? Rise to fame, increase your rank and become a hero to be admired by all? For the sake of a more ambitious goal, I advise Mr. Augst not to pay attention to these small details." Serena said.

"There was also a man who had given up the ideals and morals he had always held, and now he went to hell with remorse. Augerst said.

"Keep holding on to this, and you'll soon follow in his footsteps, dying in a broken grass hut with remorse. Serena said.

But I will go and be with the Holy Spirit and enjoy the riches that I have accumulated in life. Augerst said.

The two men were about to fight, and Klinos came out and interrupted:

"How good, the happy team discusses problems together, why don't we ......"

"Uh, shut up. Hurry up and hit the road. Serena knew that Klinos was going to have another tirade, so she stopped the boring quarrel.

The five of them began to continue their march towards the village at the bottom of the tree, and the surrounding scenery slowly receded in a dry atmosphere.

The road is difficult to identify, and at each distance there is a mound of stones to tell the traveler that he is on the right path. This is not the case in more remote places, where roads flow everywhere, mostly dead ends or lead people around the mountains and forests.

If there is a road to a certain place, a piece of colored cloth will be laid on the pile of stones that are most signposted. The family coats of arms of the local noble lords are depicted on them, and few people have cared for these obscure marks since the 160 years of the empire, and many of these colored cloths have been washed away by wind and rain. There are also some that drift with the breeze, wordlessly telling the original years.

The air is moist and earthy, and the sunlight that shines through from time to time makes people feel warm. In this situation, Clinos sang to himself:

The road outside the window is long and long

Winding, rugged and foggy

The sophistication of bonsai is still fascinating

What's more, the exterior of the house is fascinating

The road outside the door is long and long

Winding, rugged and foggy

The story in the book is fascinating

I'm about to set out on my way

Singing and singing, he was already far away from Gerdo, and when he looked back, he couldn't see the charred land. Distance can be far away from places of disgust, and time can also dilute sad emotions. Soon Abel's mood was also brightened by Klinos, and he watched with interest the butterflies and bees flying around.

Serena had always traveled alone, always accompanied by danger and loneliness, and for the first time felt the joy of walking on a forest path. I also wondered why I didn't find a partner earlier, so that it would be a lot more interesting along the way.

There are more and more flowers on the road, and there are more places where natural sunlight shines. The trees began to thin out and were replaced by dense shrubs. Some people may think that ferns are similar to shrubs, small plants that are not very tall. But most of the shrubs rise to a height of four or five meters outside the garden. But they don't want trees like that, they don't have trunks, they just have a lot of twigs. I would like to mention that roses and moons are all shrubs.

In this way, you can imagine what kind of sea of flowers the five people are in. The season of July is the time of these flowers, and the fragrant fragrance will choke people. The ones that bloom are moonflowers, dogwoods, junipers, and gorse. There were many more who could not be named, even by the most learned scholars of the Empire.

The birds chirped happily in the sky and seemed to have fallen in love with the place. It is called the Garden of Ellantil, and legend has it that an elf built it to please his lover. The mysterious magic continues to this day, and the unattended garden has not been destroyed by thousands of years of wind and rain.

They walked like this all day, and they didn't feel tired. Klinos proposes to spend the night here, and although the sun is still a few hours away, the beauty is coming to an end.

Augst said that he should speed up his travel, but he couldn't deny that this was really a paradise on earth, and it was understandable to delay a little longer.

Abel had a lot of fun here and found a flock of guinea fowl. Although they ran fast, they could not escape the grasp of the great hunter Abel, and the four poor guinea fowl became the dinner of the Truth Stick Expedition.

The charming scenery and the sumptuous dinner, all the unhappiness before has been washed away by all this, I am afraid that everyone is reluctant to leave and stay here. Build a place like Gerdor, but there are no demons or nobles here. Although in the small team, there are already two nobles with a good reputation.

Everyone sat around the fire and chatted, and there was no wind or accident to let the flames escape, as if ancient magic still protected the place. Able stood in front of them and told how quick and cunning these dinners were, and how he caught them with great difficulty. It was as if these guinea fowls were quicker than Alcarima's sword and smarter than Klinos's mind.

Serena asked Klinos, "Will you build a garden for your lover?"

"If I had a lover, I would turn the whole world into a garden, assuming I could. Klinos said.

"It's unbelievable that the heir of the White family didn't marry a wife. Serena said.

"Well, I'm not interested in those family marriages. How many ladies from aristocratic families wanted to marry me, and many wealthy merchants also sent gifts. But alas, my parents are long gone. Otherwise, maybe I'll marry the daughter of a business partner as they wish. Clinos said, "You should look at the noble ladies, none of them are as good-looking as you." ”

"Oh, even if it's a polite compliment, I'll gladly take it. Serena said, "I could have married the nobles of Timora, and I would have had no worries about food and clothing." Just ......"

"It's just that your ambitions are bigger than that, aren't they?" said Klinos.

"Who is the connoisseur of mind reading now?"

"Forgive me for interrupting, please don't stop. Keep your word for it. ”

"It is true that my ambition is far greater than that, and I am used to walking on the tip of a knife, and I cannot do the things of having children, good wives and good mothers. Serena said.
