Chapter 25: The Calm Before the War
Disappointed...... And then there was resentment. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Zari had tried to neutralize Martin's hostility as much as possible, but to no avail. Martin's vigilance remains high.
No, Zari has no intention of clashing with Martin again and plotting to kill him behind his back. She was resentful because of Martin's actions because of his vigilance.
Although Zari agrees to follow Martin to her sister. But Martin still made a very rude move. Because he was still wary of Zali, he used a lot of means.
After a careful search of the clothes, Martin handed them to Zari for her to wear back, and Zari thought to herself that the other party would probably have to change her treatment a lot. But she soon became disappointed.
As Martin put away all her weapons. Zari also thought that it was not unusual for her weapons to be confiscated because she was not fully trusted. And he hoped that Martin would soon return those weapons to himself.
And then when Martin put away all those magic items, Zalik was a little unhappy, but she didn't expect that Martin would have an even more depressing behavior!
After she was dressed, Martin still let her reach out his hands and carefully tie her up with a strong rope. Martin is very experienced when it comes to kidnapping people. While tying the knot, Martin reminisced about the past. When he first met Liucrexia, he also tied up Liucrexia so seriously. Thinking of this, he couldn't help but smile lightly. And Zali can't laugh at it.
After that, Martin was not completely reassured, he took out a bottle of potion, shook it to stir the sediment well, and let Zari drink it.
As soon as the bottle was opened, the potion smelled strange, but Zari still frowned and drank the disgusting thing. Although she didn't say anything, she thought silently in her heart, it seems that the relationship between Mr. Martin in front of her and her sister is very ordinary.
After drinking the potion, Zari opened her mouth and let Martin see that the potion had indeed been completely drunk. Then, in a sarcastic tone, Zari said, "I say, does my sister owe you a lot of money?"
"No!" Martin was confused for a moment, then remembered why Zari asked. He smiled helplessly. I thought to myself, "Who made you so dangerous, I just solved four adventurers some time ago!"
Finally, after a brief finishing touch, Martin began to identify the dagger.
After several tricks, Martin reluctantly discovered that although the shape of the dagger was similar to the holy object to be pursued, it was not the holy object. It seems that the Northland tour will continue.
Now it's a little more cumbersome, and it's definitely more cumbersome to travel.
In the past, Natasha rode on another pony that was used for transportation and transportation purposes with an empty warhorse, while Martin rode on a stone horse that had been transformed into a magical object. Now that one more person has been added, the method of travel needs to be changed a little.
Zali's weight is very light, and theoretically she won't get tired of riding on that war horse all the time. It's just that Martin's circle of ropes is tied down, and her hands can't control the horse at all, and besides, she is a dark elf who crawled out of the underground world, and she probably can't do any equestrian skills, so she can't be expected to ride a horse by herself while being bound.
Other than that, it's a shared mount. Martin decided to let Zari sit in front of him so that it would be easier to keep an eye on.
Hearing Martin's arrangement, Zari was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "That's good, I thought you would choose you to ride high on your mount, and then hold the rope that binds me in your hand, and drag me forward on foot! ”
Hearing Zari say this, Martin frowned, he knew Zali's unhappiness. But what could he do? He decided to be cautious, even if it would continue to offend Zari, even if it would make Sasri a little embarrassed in the future.
But Natasha didn't have those concerns, she directly sneered: "It's definitely not like that, because that's slowing down the speed of travel too much!"
Martin didn't care about that, he carefully placed Zari on his mount, then covered her with a cloak large enough to cover her, and set off for the village where he had been.
After meeting the village chief, Martin explained the matter very succinctly, and then directly accepted the bounty promised by the village chief and led Natasha and Zari away. He didn't stay in the village too much. There is still a long way to go, so we must hurry.
It must be said that Martin's own experience of taking risks is indeed insufficient. He overlooked a rather important issue.
That's the cave where Zari came from the ground to the surface.
If the cave allowed Zari to come to the surface, what about the other uninvited guests?
Since that cave can emerge with a dangerous character like Zari who kills four adventurers in one fell swoop, will it be more powerful?
Martin didn't think about it.
So, at the end of the day's hard work, Martin casually set up camp. There was no consideration given to whether it was time to travel a little further and set up the camp elsewhere.
Although there were only three people, it took a lot of effort to set up camp because of the snow. However, Natasha is a nomad, and Martin is also a druid who knows how to survive in the wild. They got it all done pretty quickly. Looking at the comfortable camp, Zari couldn't help but feel that there were still many benefits to traveling with these two people.
What was particularly surprising to Zari was that Martin actually massaged her after untying her.
For the enjoyment of massage, Zali is no stranger. In fact, underground, she often enjoys slave massages. What surprised her was that Martin, such a noble and powerful figure, would deign to massage himself as a captive.
Martin didn't know what Zali was thinking. He concentrated on loosening Zali's bloodline. Even because I worked too hard, I sweated a little on the tip of my nose. He smiled and said to Zali, "Hands and feet are very important, we have to live on them for the rest of our lives." Although I will loosen the bindings for you from time to time along the way to let the blood flow, it is still not enough. Gotta give you a massage. You are such a good wanderer, you can't be abolished because of my improper operation!"
However, after Martin's massage, he still ruthlessly tied Zali firmly with a rope.
"Is it okay for Zari to squeeze into a tent with you?" asked Martin Natasha. "After all, the gender is different, and it's not convenient for me to be with her. ”
"No problem. Natasha replied cleanly as she helped Martin put Zari in her sleeping bag.
Inconvenient, it is quite inconvenient to carry such a captive. Originally, two people went out to take risks, and it would be difficult to keep vigil and something like that, plus such a captive! If it was an ordinary captive, there was no need for special binding methods, and there was no need to loosen the binding for a night. But Zari is a wanderer, and a wanderer is definitely a profession that is good at playing with ropes, and it is possible to break free from the bondage if he is not careful. Therefore, Martin had to tie her up in the tightest way possible. But in that case, you have to loosen the other party's blood every once in a while. If you do that, it will inevitably affect your sleep a lot.
It seems that at least continue to make up for sleep on the way to the road...... Martin thought so. Natasha is a nomad who is an excellent rider, and for her, taking a nap on horseback could not be easier with Martin keeping an eye on the road. Martin didn't have that good riding skills, but as a Starch Spencer Druid, he also had a special way to make up for sleep, and that was dolphinization.
Dolphins are marine mammals, and for them who have to use their lungs to breathe, once they fall asleep, they can't breathe. They alternate between the left and right sides of the brain to rest. In addition, their sleep is also of the type known as slow-phase sleep. Being ready to respond to external stimuli is like a dozing student who can hear the teacher's voice and may be slurred when called up.
In addition to this, as a Starch Spencer who has taken over the Dark Elf trait. Martin's sleep requirements are also short. Sleeping only four hours was no big deal for him.
Before going to bed, Martin released the bat guard as usual. At night, it is an excellent watchdog with the help of sound waves.
Just as Martin's little camp was falling into a peaceful sleep. A group of uninvited guests emerged from the cave where Zari had walked out.
"Following the instructions on this magic item, we're not very far from that remnant. ”
"Hopefully the instructions for this magic item are correct, and hopefully that guy hasn't thrown away her amulet. ”
"There's no way she's going to throw away the amulet of the family she belongs to. Don't worry too much, we'll catch up with her tonight!"
"Well, let's start the forced march!"
With a flurry of silent sign language, the message was conveyed. Then, the dark-skinned creatures continued the night as they moved forward rapidly.
The night is full of fear of the unknown for human beings. And for them, it is an excellent shelter, and they are like fish in water in it.
Not much fear of being discovered, they traveled quickly. Although there were a few breaks on the way, they were satisfied to see that the goal was getting closer and closer. Before dawn, they will definitely be able to get to where the target is.
They wondered why the target hadn't moved, and wasn't night the perfect time for her to hurry?
But no matter what, they have to move forward and know how to complete the task......

Speaking of which, in my book review section, there are also people who say that they are going to the United States or something.
A person has absolutely the right to go elsewhere and live a better life. For example, how many of the college students who have come out of the mountain villages will return to the mountain villages? Don't they all want to stay in the cities? For example, the college students who have come out of a small city like Zhangjiakou will definitely want to stay in a big city like Beijing.
So, if you go to the United States, go to the United States. The United States is indeed developed, and the quality of life in the average American is indeed much higher than that of the average Chinese.
However, please don't put on a pretense of "I went to the United States because the American people cook persimmon oil!"
There are more democratic and free countries, why don't you go to India and Mongolia with persimmon oil!
Those countries are quite in need of people with lofty ideals to build ah. Why don't you see you revitalizing the country in the past!
So, you go to the U.S. because the quality of life in the U.S. is higher. So, please don't pretend to be a righteous man who has defected to the free world.
I have a high school classmate who studied in Australia, and when he talked to me, he said he wanted to stay there. But he didn't think it was because the people of that country were boiling persimmon oil. He just felt that the country would be more suitable for him to live.
In fact, I suspect that some people subconsciously feel that the matter of moving will be attacked by others, and it is difficult to explain, so they moved out of the banner of defecting to the people to cook persimmon oil.
If you want to go, you can go, people should be free. However, don't make up some lies such as "the female college student who questioned Clinton back then is now married to the United States" to cheer yourself up! It is true that Ma Nan is married to an American, but the problem is that Ma Nan chose to stay in China, and she could easily get a long-term immigrant visa but did not get it.
