Chapter 17: News to Estil 1

The six of them had been walking for three days, and they should be able to see the walls of New River Valley today. The peaks of the Oulder Mountains are also on the horizon www.biquge.info tell you how far you have traveled to the east. Although he left Kanta and advanced to the south for more than half a month, he still stayed in the northern realm. The sun was at its most vicious during the week, and everyone was eager to get on horseback and get out of the hard trekking.

Klinos and Ebner followed at the back of the group.

"The expedition is getting bigger and bigger. Abner said.

"yes, things are getting more and more troublesome. Clinos said, "I didn't want that, if I were alone." Dead, dead. Now I have to think about whether others will follow in my footsteps when I die. ”

"Ask me to join you on your adventure, don't you care if I'll die?" said Ebner.

"How can I say that...... "you are very clever and obedient." I'm not going to put you in any dangerous plan, and if things don't go right, I'll ask you to turn around and run. ”

"Good idea, but what if I don't run?"

"I think I can find a solution. Klinos said.

"Maybe you can ......," said Ebner, "and I'm sure others will do your bidding." ”

"Not necessarily, Serena doesn't look like someone who listens to advice. Klinos said.

"They honor you, you are their prophet, their wise man, and their savior. Abner said.

"That's why things are getting more and more troublesome. Klinos said, "My actions may make all the people in front of me jump around and die in the next second." ”

But they are still obliged, just like they are to die for the country or the emperor. Abner said.

"That's the last thing I want them to do, and no one should die for that. Clinos said, "That would only be a victim of a magnificently violent faΓ§ade adorned with lies, and it would make no sense to repeat it over and over again." ”

"Then don't let them fall victim to their own ideals. "Find the Stick of Truth and put an end to all this mess," said Ebner. ”

Noah stood on the hill and turned back to the two and called out:

"Mr. White, New River Valley City!"

Looking at Klinis, New River Valley is still a small dot. But its huge dams, the giant lakes formed by the Silver River, are already in sight. The dam is much wider than the Silver River, and the water that has been stopped has risen to a depth of at least 100 meters.

"Why do they need such a big dam?" Abel asked.

"Dams can store water so that there are no water shortages during the dry season. Noah said.

"There isn't much drought in the city of New Valley, although it's easy to farm and prevent natural disasters," August stressed. But why build such a big dam and just enough to flood Old River Valley City. ”

"Looks like you can walk there before the sun goes down. "You can have a soft mattress tonight," Ebner said. ”

"And ale!" said Noah, "isn't anyone looking forward to this?"

"I don't drink. Klinos said.

"Then you lose the rare joy of life. Noah said.

"Serena?" said Clinos, "is your way working here?"

Serena replied impatiently, "Different doors, the stepping stones are the same. ”

"Good. "I need to get a message across, with a very loud voice," Klinos said. Let it fly through the forests and rivers and let everyone in Astir know that Klinos White has rescued Noah Sanders, and Noah Saunders will return to Astir safe and sound. ”

"Your message will be brought to Estel with the fastest carrier pigeon, but I will ask for payment. Serena said.

"I think you owe it. Klinos said.

Noah didn't understand and asked, "What did you do and why?"

"I'm saving your life, Mr. Sanders. It is by no means a way to hijack the help of the Sanders family with public opinion, because there are countless ways for me to consult the Sanders family documents. Clinos said.

Noah was even more confused, not knowing what Klinis was planning.

Thanks to the vast reservoir, it is surrounded by farmland in New Valley City. Everyone thought they were getting closer to the city, but the city at the end of the golden sea of wheat didn't seem to have changed.

The group couldn't help but speed up their progress when they saw the fields, but when the sun was setting in the west, they were still quite a long way away from New River Valley City.

Panting, Clinos said to Abel, "Do you want to go to heaven?"

"Aha?" Abel tilted his head, puzzled.

"I propose that we finish the rest of the flight. Clinos said, "But Abel's sword is unsheathed, and the runes will ward off my magic, so we'll have to find someone to take it to New River Valley City." ”

Serena said, "I'll take my sword to the New River Valley, and I'll need to get some information. ”

"Perfect. Klinos said, "We're ready to take off!"

Abel clenched the sword in his hand in a panic and said, "I haven't agreed yet!"

"Are you afraid of heights?" asked Ebner.

Abel was embarrassed and didn't speak, just clutched the sword in his hand tightly.

"I assure you, it's been a smooth trip. Clinos said, "There will be no accidents. ”

"Don't waste your time, my lord. With that, Serena snatched Abel's sword.

"Give it back to me! That's mine!" Abel jumped up to grab it.

Serena drew a perfect arc with her sword, dodging Abel's scramble. As soon as he turned around, he pointed the tip of his sword at Abel's nose and said, "You can try to get it back." ”

The tip of Abel's nose almost felt the chill of the sword, and he froze.

Serena put her sword away and said, "Don't waste time, I have something to do." ”

"That's dangerous!" shouted Noah.

"I think it's more dangerous to sleep in the fields tonight. Klinus looked at Serena helplessly and said, "Let's go, it's not right, let's fly!"

After Clinos finished speaking, Able felt his feet off the ground, held up by something, and his eyes were bigger than he had just faced with the blade.

"Wouldn't it be hard to fly with 4 people?" August also writhed his uncontrolled body in mid-air.

"You underestimate me, Mr. Pendragon. Klinos saw that everyone's flying skills were stable, and shouted, "We're about to go!" so for your own safety, try not to move, or pull the rune-laden sword out of its scabbard. But rest assured, Ebner and I are both experienced mages, and nothing will happen. ”

"Are we experienced mages?" said Ebner, leaving everyone at a loss for words.

"Uh, do I want to walk on the ground with Serena?" said Noah, trembling.

"Don't talk nonsense, don't worry. Clinos said, "And don't move, hold on!"

In an instant, several people flew in the direction of New River Valley City, and Serena heard Abel shouting:

"What do you want me to hold onto!?"

With screams and complaints, the men slowly disappeared from Serena's vision.
