Chapter 338: On the Road
In the Truth Thoughts branch of the Grey Rain Country, Anya, an important test subject for punk, has already sparked a little love with a mage named Micaka, but this matter may not spread in a short period of time, let alone the punk in the Maple Leaf Kingdom.
At this time, when the glow of dawn was shining in the silent wilderness, Punk and Ben Rachel, who still knew nothing about what was going on in their old home, were riding two mana rays and "floating" towards the royal city of the Maple Leaf Kingdom, the City of Maple Flowers, at a pitiful speed that was slow for a master-level powerhouse.
Although the punk is a little impatient in terms of speed, there is no way, and flying into a city quickly is not a visit but a provocation.
As he approached the royal city, which had already revealed some shadows, the punk also casually observed the natural scenery along the way. It's just a pity...... The scenery along the way is not beautiful at all, although the name of the city is called the city of charming maples, but in fact, the natural landscape that punk sees is really incompatible with this poetic name.
The royal city of the Maple Leaf Kingdom was built next to a sleepy volcano called the Sleeping Dragon, which thousands of years ago erupted from small-scale activity in a supermassive volcano that almost completely covered the area, and after thousands of years of precipitation, the land around the Maple City turned into this strange reddish-brown soil.
However, the volcanic ash here does not bring a lot of nutrients to plants like the earth, and in the Faeron plane, the volcanic ash often contains a large amount of fire element precipitation, and the bursting characteristics of these fire elements are not at all what ordinary plants can bear, so this brown-red land is almost barren, and it looks very desolate with strange rocks.
However, generally speaking, this desolation will only be reflected in the natural environment, in the vicinity of a natural volcano that is nearly two-thirds higher than Mount Everest on the earth, the production of various ores must be very rich, judging from the information that has been outdated for hundreds of years from Ben Rachel, when the Maple Leaf Kingdom was still flourishing, this charming maple city was nicknamed the "Ore Capital".
Of course, the Ore Capital or anything doesn't matter to Punk and Ben Rachel, and Punk only cares more about how much help the Maple Leaf Kingdom can give themselves in the "great cause" of "slaying dragons".
Ben Rachel, on the other hand, has a much more bizarre focus:
"Is this Jonny Zodas really a nobleman? Could it be that his etiquette was taught by the Stalker Mentor? Truth Thoughts should have informed him of our arrival a long time ago, right? It's almost at the gates of the city, and the Zodas family's welcome party is dead? Is this the attitude of the Zodas family towards their helpers?".
Bunrachel, who had been punked on his way overnight, couldn't have complained anything to the punk, so now, the fat old man had shifted all his complaints to Jonny Zodas.
However, the punk decisively ignored Ben Rachel's complaints.
In fact, he himself was not surprised by Jonny's attitude.
First of all, considering the characteristics of "reaching out under the coffin - death for money", to what extent is Jonny uncertain in order to issue a task in Truth Thought, although this kind of thing is voluntary by Jonny, but it is estimated that no one will be happy after being "blackmailed" with all their belongings.
On the other hand......
Punk remembered that Ovac was so unfathomable that he was far from the information that Jonny said "just promoted to the fifteenth level" and "no professional level is a big lizard", and Punk didn't believe that Jonny Zodas, who had been against Ovac for hundreds of years, didn't even know the true strength of the other party, which showed that Jonny Zodas had started to deceive people in order to find a helper.
Jonny's scam was strictly successful, and due to the loose task system of Truth Thoughts, Punk and Ben Rachel were fooled, but Jonny must have understood that he couldn't be deceived for a while, and the deceived helper would soon expose the scam, and then this beam would inevitably be settled, and considering this, it makes sense for Jonny to simply dispel the idea of making friends.
Therefore, in the eyes of Punk, Jonny's actions so far have been quite expected, and now he is pretending not to know about the arrival of his two "guests" in the royal city.
Punk has a lot of confidence, a plan, and a way out, and has seen enough big scenes through Vedrashia's memories, so he is calm and calm.
But...... This is not the case with this Rachel.
This fat old man is an "academic" mage who has spent most of his life in business, and he is a little discouraged when he sees that he is about to meet Jonny Zodas, who can no longer be trusted, and is about to set off to face the mysterious Ovac.
Speaking of which, many people are so contradictory, when they are passionate and ruthless, they are not afraid of heaven and earth, and when they are about to play with their lives, they are likely to be scared and their legs and stomachs turn tendons.
Although Ben Rachel was not frightened into anything, he couldn't help but ask Punk endless questions:
"I said, Brother Saian, do you have any good plans, don't tell me that you really want to break into Ovacin's lair! Ovacin is a spellcaster, my old arms and legs can't stand the toss......"
"Don't worry, it's just a last resort, I'll find a way to lure Ovacin out and fight, and then you just need to throw a fireball in the back."
Seeing that Ben Rachel began to grind endlessly, and it was impossible for the punk to smash it with a "kinetic blast", he could only patiently explain his judgment to Ben Rachel:
"Isn't Jonny Zodas recruiting troops on a large scale? I think his plan is good - to attack the Dragonroar Kingdom with a large-scale war regardless of losses, I believe that if the army of the Dragonroar Kingdom can't hold on, Ovacin will definitely be tempted to take action."
"Hey, you're not kidding, are you?"
Listening to Punk's words, Ben Rachel's eyes widened in surprise.
"With the old, weak, sick and disabled forces of the Maple Leaf Kingdom, don't say I'm biased, the Dragon Roar Kingdom can fight seven or eight Maple Leaf Kingdoms together! I think if it weren't for Ovac for fear of driving Jonny Zodas crazy, the Maple Leaf Kingdom would have been swallowed by the Dragon Roar Kingdom by now............
At this point, Ben Rachel seemed to think of something, and he looked at the punk with some wariness:
"Don't tell me you're going to slaughter ordinary soldiers and sabotage, Truth is an organization in the "orderly" camp, and if you do it too blatantly, you'll be in trouble to attract the "investigation team".
"Who said I'm going to get in trouble"?
Looking at Ben Rachel's incomprehension, Punk didn't say anything more, he just looked coldly at the looming City of Charming Maple Flowers, and his white fingers lightly ** a very old storage ring.
"I don't want to force the church of Tyre, the god of justice, to do it............ My plan is actually quite simple! It's just to help Jonny add a "somewhat controversial" army, take it easy, and trust me, as long as you are careful about the "steps", no one can accuse us. ”
With the casual sound of punk, a breeze gently swept through the gray ground, and the smoke and dust raised temporarily obscured the shadow of the city in the distance......
Ben Rachel was not very satisfied with such a mysterious answer from Punk, but when he looked up and saw the cold pupils under the shadow of Punk's hood, he still closed his mouth in a bit of a daze.
