Chapter 134: To the Abyss
Taking a few deep breaths, Ling Xuan suppressed the excitement in her heart and said to Rondelo, "Mr. Rondello, I know that your team needs an excellent partner to explore the abyss this time. However, if you believe me, I can tell you in all seriousness that you have found it. ”
"Found it?" Rondello was stunned.
"Yes. The person I'm talking about is this Mr. Leo," Ling Xuan said, "Trust me, he is definitely the best person for you." In fact, I can't think of anyone better fit. ”
Roundelo frowned slightly, looked at Ling Xuan and said, "Do you know him?"
Ling Xuan nodded and said, "I didn't know it was him before. I didn't know until I just saw the mercenary number. I didn't expect him to show up here and choose your squad. ”
Londello was a little dazed for a moment.
He came from the Cairo City branch of the Ice Star Mercenary Regiment, and this time he was ordered to be transferred to Lulian. And in the two or three months that Lulian has been around, he has some understanding of this beautiful director of the Mission Hall, although he is not a close friend.
In his opinion, Ling Xuan is definitely not a person who likes to brag or be alarmist. She is mature and steady, and she has a very good sense of proportion. Whether it's good or bad, she will tell you in the most appropriate tone, without adding or subtracting a point.
Londello had never seen Ling Xuan praise a person in such a tone, as if if he refused, he would make a mistake that he would regret for the rest of his life. Even the mere hesitation can seem like an idiot.
Roundelo turned his head to look at Roy, he couldn't understand why this young mercenary, who was not amazing, would be so highly praised by Ling Xuan.
As he spoke, everyone had already entered the mission room.
Originally, Rondello was going to make it clear to Leo as soon as he came in. He would rather give up this expedition than risk his team's lives. However, Ling Xuan's words made him hesitate a little.
The atmosphere seemed a little silent for a while.
The members of the team, their eyes were focused on Rondelo. Everyone was waiting for his decision.
There was a moment of silence. Rondello activated the central magic array and brought up the topographic map of the mountainous area of Shimizu County. When the lines of undulating mountains and rivers appeared in front of everyone's eyes, he said seriously: "Now, let's talk about our mission ......."
Hearing Rondelo's words, Roy and Ling Xuan glanced at each other and both showed a hint of a smile.
The rest of the squad looked at each other in disbelief.
After a prayer hour, the door to the mission room opened, and Rondello and the team rushed out. Walking at the end, Roy turned the hallway. I saw Ling Xuan waiting outside.
"Why are you ......" Ling Xuan stared at the completely different face in front of her, her eyes fluttering.
"I'm a heretic of the Holy Cult now," Roy said with a smile, "and that's all it could be. ”
"Ling Shuang and Ling Xue thought you were dead," Ling Xuan covered her mouth and said with a smile, "They thought I didn't know, and they cried several times in private." Even the royal family and the Grand Duke were rewarded. They weren't very interested, and my mother was embarrassed to show off to the neighbors. ”
Lady Judy, the mother of the three sisters, looked a little mercenary. Roy couldn't help but laugh too.
The twin daughters made meritorious contributions to the fjord war, and the royal family and the Grand Duke's reward were really a lot. The knights of the Jin Dynasty are registered, and the noble knights named in the heraldic court are certain, and there are also quarries, and a civilian family has become a nobleman.
Partially. The daughter is in a bad mood, and the mother can only take care of the affection and can't go out to show off. It was just too torturous for Judy.
"Speaking of which, you haven't been a guest at home yet, but I've invited you several times. Ling Xuan complained, "Now it seems that it will be impossible in a short period of time." I can't make sure my mother's mouth keeps it a secret. ”
As he spoke, both of them laughed.
"Did Ling Shuang and Ling Xue go to the Imperial Capital?" Roy asked.
Ling Xuan nodded and said, "Well, the big competition of the three major training camps is about to start, and they are going with Dean Gustas. Go to see the world, and by the way, accept the knight canonization ceremony in the imperial capital. The ceremony was held by the royal family for those of them who had made a name for themselves in the fjord. ”
Roy nodded.
Ling Xuan's gaze turned around on the members of the Runderro mercenary team who were walking through the corridor, returned to Roy, and said with concern: "It seems that the others still don't trust you very much." ”
When Rondello decided to let Roy join him in the Abyssal Exploration, the other team members didn't look very good. Everyone couldn't believe that it was Londero's decision. They thought that once they entered the mission room, Rondello would tell the other party the truth, and then find another way.
It was only because of the trust in Londelo and the good discipline that everyone remained silent. If it were a different mercenary team, I was afraid that it would have been quarreled a long time ago.
Ling Xuan saw this qiē in his eyes, so he was somewhat worried about the difficulties that Roy faced when he went to the abyss.
"It's okay," Roy said lightly, shrugging his shoulders, "and they'll take me." ”
"I believe that," Ling Xuan smiled slightly, and admonished, "Be careful." The discovery of the abyss ruins this time has been concerned by the main hall and adjusted to an SS-level mission. The benefits are great, but so are the risks. While I'm looking forward to seeing you accomplish your mission, safety matters. ”
As she spoke, she frowned and said, "Be especially careful of the people of the Thunderstorm Mercenary Regiment. In the abyss, they can do anything. By the way, did you bring your Eagle Feather Badge?"
"Brought it. Roy said.
"When you need it, show it up," Ling Xuan said, "The mercenaries in the Mission Hall will admit it." If anyone dares to attack you, it will be against the mission hall and all the mercenaries. ”
"I see. Roy smiled, turned his head and saw that Landelo and the others had already packed up their bags by the stable and were ready to leave, he waved his hand to Ling Xuan and said goodbye, "I'm leaving." Say hello to your parents on my behalf. ”
"Okay," Ling Xuan chased, "Be careful and safe." ”

..................
Moments later, Rondero's team was on their way to Shimizu County.
The sound of horses' hooves was rapid, and eight horses galloped past in the scorching sun, leaving flying dust behind them.
"Verbosity, mother-in-law," grumbled the dwarlock on the way, "and now I finally understand why the captain would let this boy come with us." It turned out to be hugging a woman's thigh. ”
Although the dwarf warlock's voice was not loud, everyone could hear it clearly, including Roy.
Everyone looked at each other, and they were a little embarrassed for a while.
The conversation between Roy and Ling Xuan just now was in everyone's eyes. This seems to explain why Captain Rendelo suddenly went against the norm and led this rookie who everyone didn't like and didn't trust much to explore the abyss together.
However, everyone has worked together for many years and has a lot of trust in Rondelo, even if they are somewhat dissatisfied, but no one has spoken out as openly as Lacios.
"Racios, say a few words. One of the knights frowned.
He turned to Roy and smiled, "I haven't introduced myself yet, my name is Lake." The guy next to me is named Larry. ”
As if to ease the embarrassment caused by the gnome warlock, the glorious knight named Larry who was introduced turned his head and nodded at Roy. ”
Lake pointed to the others and said, "This short man's name is Racios, and he has a good heart, but his mouth is a little broken. The thief was our scout, named Franco. As for the names of the two ladies on the team, they will have to tell you themselves. I can't call the shots for them. ”
Roy turned his head to look.
"Tu Su. The barbarian warrior said briefly, then shut her mouth and rode ahead.
The female mage smiled at Roy and said softly, "It's okay for you to call me Afu." ”
As she spoke, she yelled at the dwarf warlock and smiled, "Don't be angry with him. This time, he was going to find someone to protect him. Outcome...... Otherwise, you can protect me and let Tu Su protect him. ”
"No way!"
As soon as Afu's words fell, the dwarf warlock and the barbarian female warrior spoke at the same time.
Roy couldn't help but laugh. Such a situation was completely unexpected by him. If elves and dwarves are two incompatible races, then gnomes and barbarians are simply natural enemies.
Gnomes have a lively personality, a much better temper than the grumpy dwarves, and love to joke, but have a fatal flaw, which is that they are too talkative. And he loves to lie and play tricks on people.
Barbarians, on the other hand, are straightforward by nature, do not speak much, and hate to be verbose. Do anything, do it with your hands, never move your mouth.
If these two people were to get together, it would be a disaster.
Roy was sure that if he did what Afu said, in less than three minutes, Tu Su would be annoyed to death, and Lacios would be beaten to death.
Seeing Tusu and Racios glaring at him at the same time, Afu stuck out her tongue and looked helpless at Roy.
Roy smiled and didn't speak. Although everyone was talking to him, he knew that no one trusted him. In their eyes, they are a drag on this team. They are guarding themselves carefully, afraid that they will not know when they will make a mistake.
In front of Londelo, there were some things they couldn't say, but they must have hoped that they would be able to leave consciously. Even from the eyes of Lake, who has the most kind attitude, there is a kind of contempt.
Nothing to say all the way. After two breaks, the team rushed to Shimizu-gun.
"The front is mountainous and the road is difficult to walk. At the edge of the jungle, Rondello jumped off his horse and said to the crowd, "Franco explores the way, Lake and Larry take care of the left and right, Ave and Lacios walk in the middle, and Tu Su is behind." ”
As he spoke, his gaze fell on Roy's, a little hesitant, "Leo, you ......"
"I'll follow you, Captain. Roy said...... (To be continued......)
