Chapter Sixty-Nine: The Cypress Prairie

"What, you're going to the cypress prairie?" Merlin exclaimed, beside the boulder.

After returning to the team, Noah told Merlin about his intentions, and he didn't say anything about Badam, but Merlin was still shocked.

"Well, what are you going to do over there?" Merlin then asked cautiously.

Noah shook his head and didn't explain further, "Anyway, I'm going over there." ”

Merlin was stunned for a while, "Are you here to inform me, or are you here to discuss?"

Noah was a little helpless, "My original intention was to discuss." ”

Why did he go to the cypress prairie, because he knew that something might happen to Badam, and that Badammu was the father of this body, and since he knew, there was no reason not to go, but as a "child", meddling in the affairs of adults was often powerless and useless, and Merlin had no reason to agree with him to go on such a trip.

According to Noah's original idea, he wanted to leave directly, but after getting along for so long, Noah also admitted that Merlin was his leader, and after hesitating for a while, he decided to discuss it first, but the result of the discussion is not very good so far.

"You're not a messy person, can you tell me why you have to go there?" Merlin asked.

Noah shook his head, "No. "Leaving aside the fact that the reason is not convincing, and the premise that something will really happen to Badam, then the fewer people who know about it, the better.

Merlin sighed, then nodded, "I know, then I solemnly refuse you, I will not agree to you going." Bron, Hale, David, for the rest of the period, you are optimistic about Noah all the time, and no matter where he goes, follow me. ”

The Brons nodded earnestly.

Noah sighed, although he had already realized that this would be the result when he decided to talk to Merlin, he still felt a little helpless.

The atmosphere around the campfire was a little awkward, and Noah got up.

"Where are you going?" the Blons immediately stood up.

Noah shook his head, "I'll go and make it easier, if you want to follow, then follow." ”

Bronn and the others looked at each other, and then looked at Merlin, who pursed his lips, "Forget about this, you can go." ”

Noah nodded, walked away from the crowd, and over the boulder, Noah walked towards Valen's location, of course he didn't really want to be convenient, although he didn't want to do it, but now there was only one way to leave.

At this moment, Noah felt a little lucky, the relationship between them and the Valens was not harmonious, even if they were together, the place where the Valens chose to rest was far away from Noah's location, and there was no need to worry about being discovered by Merlin and the others He went to find Valen.

When Noah approached Valen, Valen and Peter immediately spotted it, and Deli stood up, "What are you doing here?"

Noah walked up to Peter's side, "Don't be nervous, I'm here to reconcile, I don't think there's any need to make our relationship stiff, let's burn the broth, come with us, right?"

Peter's eyes were scrutinizing, "Broth?"

"Well, I hope we can forget about the previous unpleasantness, and I hope you can accept my apology. ”

Peter's face suddenly turned ugly, "What are you kidding!"

Noah lowered his head slightly, lowering his posture, showing full sincerity, he looked at Valen, "I apologize for everything before, but in the previous situation, I only had that choice." ”

Valen was silent, and stood up after half a ring, "Let's go." ”

"Leader!" cried out Peter.

In Valen's ranks, the other two unknown people stood up, they stood beside Valen, and a young man hesitated for a moment, and then also stood up, only Peter, his expression did not ease in the slightest.

"I'm not going!"

Valen wanted to say something, but Noah was the first to speak, "Can I talk to Peter?"

Valen nodded and walked away with the other three teenagers.

"We have nothing to talk about!" Peter said viciously.

Noah shook his head, "I don't have much time. ”

Peter was stunned, "What do you mean?"

"I don't have much time, so I don't have time to talk nonsense about you. Noah said slowly.

Peter took a step back, "What are you going to do?"

Noah didn't answer, the two were already very close, even if Peter took a step back, it was not far away, Noah took a step forward, and came to Peter's side, not giving Peter any time to react, his palm was split on Peter's neck, this time, Noah didn't leave his hand, he started quickly and accurately, Peter couldn't even dodge, so he snorted and fainted.

Holding Peter to prevent him from falling to the ground, Noah dragged him and placed him next to the sawtooth cart of Valen's men, Noah thanked Merlin a little for teaching him how to drive the sawtooth, got into the car, flicked the whip, and the sawtooth beast suddenly galloped up.

The position where the sawtooth beasts of Valen and the others stopped was placed at the end of the villagers, that is to say, he did not have to pass the location of Merlin on the way out, and the wind brought by the rushing sawtooth beast cart blew on Noah's face, blowing his golden hair up, Noah felt a little guilty in his heart, but this guilt quickly dissipated, after all, everything can be perfect.

Driving through the dark forest, Noah controlled the sawtooth beast to move forward at full speed, and it didn't take long for Noah to hear a cry from behind, "Wait a minute! ”

Noah heard it, it was actually Merlin's voice, he didn't expect them to be able to catch up so quickly, but this was also expected, Noah didn't stop, still concentrating on driving the sawtooth beast.

On the sawtooth beast driven by Merlin in the rear, Valen's face was dark and terrifying, he moved around the car for a while, and said to Merlin: "I'm going to do something to your students, you don't have an opinion." ”

Merlin gritted his teeth, "Shoot lightly." ”

As a high-level mercenary, Valen's explosion speed is definitely faster than that of the sawtooth beast, but it takes all his strength to do it, and it can't last long, but now, he is really angry!

Taking a deep breath, Valen jumped out of the car, briefly behind the sawtooth, like a cannonball, he passed the sawtooth driven by Merlin at an alarming speed, and rushed towards Noah's sawtooth car!

The distance between the two sawtooth beast carts was a hundred meters, but the distance was rapidly reduced by Valen's astonishing speed.

Noah seemed to feel something, turned around in surprise, and saw Valen, who was only a few meters away, and in a short period of three or four seconds, Valen actually sprinted nearly 100 meters!

Without any hesitation, Noah jumped up and came to the top of the carriage, and in the short time that had passed, Valen's hand had already grabbed the rear of the carriage.

Noah kicked Valen's hand, even though Valen is a high-level mercenary, his fingers are not made of iron, Noah's kick was very hard, Valen was in pain, and he let go of his hand directly.

"I'm sorry Valen, next time we meet, I'll pay you for your medical expenses!" Noah shouted loudly, he had to shout, the sawtooth beast was moving fast, and as soon as Valen fell, he rolled out more than ten meters directly.

"Stop Noah, let's have a good talk!" Merlin shouted.

Noah didn't stop, sat back in his original position, and continued to drive the sawtooth beast, which had already been talked about before, and there was nothing to talk about now.

The time went from night to day, and all night, the sawtooth beast was moving forward, and the sawtooth beast driven by Merlin behind it always followed from a distance, not approaching, nor falling.

After a night, they had already passed through Wangshan Village, the sawtooth let out a heavy gasp, it was almost at the limit, Noah sighed, and pulled the reins, causing the sawtooth to stop.

As soon as he stopped, Merlin rode up in the sawtooth beast.

The cold wind blew all night, Merlin's face was a little blue, Noah stopped, it wasn't that he changed his mind and wanted to talk about something, he didn't like to talk nonsense, since Merlin was chasing after him, then he just let Merlin have no way to chase it, although Noah didn't really want to do anything to Merlin.

The moment Merlin came to his side, Noah jumped over and went directly to Merlin's side, "Sorry leader." ”

"We're going with you!"

Noah's hand knife stopped a few centimeters from Merlin's neck, "What do you mean?"

Merlin looked at Noah's hand, swallowed his saliva, and said: "I chased you all night, and I also thought all the way, although I don't know why you have to go to the cypress prairie, but since I can't stop you, then I choose to go with you, I am your leader!"

Noah looked at Merlin for a while, "Are you serious?"

"Seriously. ”

"What about Bron and them?" asked Noah.

Merlin didn't speak, and the door of the carriage opened, revealing three pale faces, "We're all here." ”

The road was bumpy, and it was impossible for the Blons to rest, and Merlin blew the cold wind all night, and they were about the same.

Noah was silent for a moment, "Then take a break and hit the road." ”

"Valen's car......" Merlin whispered.

Noah smiled, "Robbed everything, is it possible that you still plan to return it?" Let's not talk about the waste of time back and forth, and now go back, it's not like a sheep's mouth, Merlin's question Noah despises very much, and he just treats him as a fool.

......

......

The cypress prairie, located 600 miles away from Shengcheng, is a vast plain.

The sawtooth beast cart drove in the mountains and forests for five days, and the surrounding trees changed from dense to sparse, and in the early morning of the fifth day, they finally left the mountains and forests and came to the cypress grassland.

The grass in the cypress savannah is green and the soil is soft.

Haier was lying on the car window, showing a look of nostalgia, and Noah was also looking up at the sky, the sky was blue, the grass was green, and the scenery was beautiful.

The sawtooth beast cart drove through the grassland for a long time, and when it came there appeared three people in leather armor, who seemed to be patrol officers, with the badge of the mercenary guild pinned to their chests, and they were not of high rank, just junior mercenaries.

"The cypress prairie is defended by a large number of mercenaries and members of the Wizards' Union, and these patrol officers should all be from the mercenary group. The two sawtooth carts walked side by side, and Merlin explained to Noah.

"Who are you?" the three stopped the sawtooth beast cart, which they recognized as belonging to the First Mercenary Academy, and was not too wary of Noah and the others.

Noah said, "We're here to find the Giant Axe Mercenary Regiment. ”

The three of them were stunned, "Look at your appearance, you are from the academy, what are you doing with the giant axe mercenary group?"

Noah continued: "My name is Noah, my father's name is Badam, he is a member of the Giant Axe Mercenary Group, I am very sorry why I asked him, it is inconvenient to disclose. ”

The three of them were silent for a moment, and one of them said: "I also know that there is a person like Badammu in the Giant Axe Mercenary Group, but I can't just let you go, we will notify the people of the Giant Axe Mercenary Group to pick you up." ”

I didn't expect to be able to pass so easily, Noah was a little surprised and thanked him.

One of the three left, and after some time passed, he returned, and there was a teenager by his side, who was stunned when he saw Noah, and then waved happily, and the three people in charge of patrolling all relaxed when they saw it.

"Noah, I didn't expect to be able to see you here!" The young man who came was Kaka, who hadn't seen him for almost half a year since he was separated in Red Leaf City, and Noah didn't expect him to remember himself and greet him so warmly.

Three guards let them go.

Noah briefly introduced Merlin to Kaka, who sat on Noah's sawtooth cart and headed deeper into the cypress prairie.

The sawtooth beast ran on the grassland, the grassland was very flat, unlike the rugged roads in the mountains and forests, and the sawtooth beast ran very fast.

"Keep going forward, and you can see the stronghold for almost fifty miles, but the people of the regiment have just entered the Demon Beast Mountain Range to hunt, and you shouldn't be able to see Master Badam. Kaka said to Noah.

Noah frowned, he didn't expect Badamu to actually enter the mountain, which was not good news.

It didn't take long for them to meet the stronghold that Kaka had mentioned, during which they encountered two more cross-examinations, but with Kaka with them, the so-called cross-examination was more like a greeting.

Led by Kaka, Noah and the others came to the tent of the giant axe mercenary group.

Tying the two sawtooth beasts to a stake outside the tent, Kaka smiled shyly, "It's sunny outside, let's go in first." ”
