Chapter 35: Departure

Early the next morning, Chen Rui simply finished breakfast and came to the mercenary building with his bags. Kerry and Abby both woke up early and stayed with him.

The three of them walked silently along the way, and the atmosphere became a little depressing. Kerry took out a bracelet made of black crystal beads from his bag and handed it to Chenrui, "This is a bracelet made by Lily herself for you, obsidian." Peace be upon you. She said she had something to do today, so she won't be here to see you off. ”

Chen Rui didn't speak, took the bracelet, and brought it to his wrist. The black beads are full and round, reflecting a dark golden light in the sunlight. Chen Rui knew that this must have taken a lot of Lily's effort, and his heart couldn't help but move. He knew that Lily seemed to feel sorry for him, but that was in the past. After all, they are friends who grew up together, and the friendship between them is still there.

"Take care. Kerry patted Chenrui on the shoulder. They sent Chen Rui to the door of the mercenary building and did not go in. should be for them not eligible.

"Boss, you must come back alive. Abby shouted at Chenrui as he walked into the mercenary building.

"I'll be back!" Chen Rui turned around with a smile and shouted equally loudly.

At this moment, in the coffee house inside the mercenary building, a bald man in blue clothes took off his sunglasses and pointed at Chen Rui at the door, "Brother Yu, wouldn't it be him you invited?" Why do you look a little dumb?"

Yu Si, who was sitting on the side, took a leisurely sip of coffee, "Yes, it's him." Don't underestimate him, he's the number one person in this year's primary test. ”

"But the battle is a matter of the brain. The bald man retorted.

"Alright. He's not stupid either. At least in this mission, he is our partner. Filly, let's go meet him. Set off early and try to get to Berni in the evening, otherwise we will have to spend the night in the Gobi. Huss drank the coffee from the cup in one gulp, threw the boss a royal silver dollar, and walked out with the bald Filip.

"Hello, Chenrui. Yu Si greeted Chen Rui from afar.

Chen Rui walked over with a smile.

"This kid is a refugee. Fili whispered to Si.

Compared with Fili and Yusi, Chen Rui's outfit is indeed shabby. The pants and jacket made of pale yellow coarse cloth, and there are two or three patches on the trouser legs, which are left over from the cultivation of the gambling war during this time. The only brand new things are that rucksack and the cheapest sneakers.

"Don't be like this. Yu Si frowned slightly. Fili is the son of Fernandez, the deputy mayor of Luke Town, on the edge of Tzu Chi Monastery. Although they are also Terrans, their families are rich and powerful. He is fourteen years old and is already a cadet of the Royal Military Academy. Originally, he was going to be stationed in the frontier to deal with the demon clan, but due to the relationship between his family, he still stayed in the interior.

However, for the sake of his growth, his family asked him to go out for training, so he formed this ice cream battle team with Yusi and Margo to go out for training.

Huss was also a cadet at the Royal Military Academy, a few months older than Fili. However, his family is average, and due to luck, he was not sent to the front this year. Of course, this is more or less influenced by the Filips. Hus's father was a defender of Deputy Mayor Fernandez.

"Okay. I won't embarrass you. Fili said.

Although their voices were not loud, Chen Rui still listened. Of course, his heart became unhappy, so he stepped forward to greet Huss and did not pay attention to Fili.

Yu Si sighed, "Let's go." We have to get to Bernier today. After speaking, he took out a map from his pocket and handed it to Chen Rui. "This is for you. It is marked with a roadmap of our mission. After arriving in the town of Bernier today, rest for the night and enter the Algaolu Mountains tomorrow. I know of a six-winged golden snake that can be back in four or five days if I'm lucky. ”

Chen Rui spread out the map and looked carefully at the standard route. It seems that Yu Si has made sufficient preparations in advance. In addition to marking the route to travel and the places to rest, there are also some nearby preparation points that can provide supplies. Even the possible location of the six-winged golden snake is clearly marked.

The three of them exited the mercenary building through the back door and came to a stable. Filip pulled out two batches of horses from it. He came to Chenrui's side and handed him the reins of a horse. "It's for you, man. ”

Chen Rui was taken aback. "For me? What about Big Brother Yusi?"

"He's a knight and has his own mount. Don't think I want to take care of you, I'm just afraid that you will walk slowly and can't keep up with us. You haven't ridden a horse yet. Fili asked.

Chen Rui nodded embarrassedly.

"Boss, what do you think? This kid can't ride a horse. Fili turned to Huss and asked.

At this time, Chen Rui saw Yu Si also come out of the stable, leading a snow-white unicorn. "You teach him. If that doesn't work, let him be your back, and let the other horse carry the goods. "Yu Si is worthy of being the captain, and his aura is very powerful.

Fili said impatiently, "Boy, you ride yourself." I don't want you to sit behind me. ”

Of course, Chen Rui didn't want to lose face in front of these two companions on the first day, so he pulled the horse, stepped on the horse with his left foot, and rode on it with one turn.

Filip was also happy to see Chenrui's agility. With a flick of the whip, the horse kicked off the ground with both legs and ran.

Chen Rui gripped the reins tightly with both hands. Thankfully, Grandma Bess taught him basic riding lessons, although not on real horses.

Fortunately, this horse is quite docile. Chen Rui grabbed the reins with both hands, and the horse slowly stopped and walked slowly.

"Look, I knew this kid was clever, right? Yu Si was very happy to see that Chen Rui was in control of his mount. At first, he was worried that Chenrui would not be able to ride a horse, which would affect their itinerary.

"Hmph. I hope this kid has a better brain, otherwise he won't come back. In my noble capacity, I will not protect this little refugee. Fili snorted and rode his mount to follow.

The three of them rode horses and soon arrived at the gate of the Tzu Chi Monastery. The three of them picked up the mercenary documents at one time and scratched them on the card reader at the door.

After a beep, the door slowly opened.

A gust of wind swept the yellow sand in the face. This is the second time Chen Rui has felt the sandstorm outside. Although it was night last time, and this time it was daytime, the knife-like wind cut on the face was really painful.

Chen Rui squinted at the sun above his head. The sun was like a white disc in the wind, and it looked dim and small.

"Dust cover, bring the dust cover. You little refugee won't run out of money to buy a dust cover. Big brother, do you want to give him a dust cover?"

Chen Rui couldn't see the face of Fili, who had put on the dust cover, but from his urgent voice, he could hear concern.

There was a hint of warmth in Chen Rui's heart. "From now on, I'm part of this ice cream squad. ”

Chen Rui took out the dust cover from his canvas bag and put it on his head, and Fili walked over and examined it carefully. Then he gave a thumbs up to Huss, which meant good.

The three men and three horses soon disappeared into the wind and sand, and in the distance there was only a small speck, and in front of the speckled was the undulating, endless Algaolu mountain range.
