Chapter 27: Enemy Attack!
More than halfway through the trip, the journey was safe and sound, Charles's physical fitness has barely persevered after more than half a year of exercise, and the daily meditation and formation familiarization have not been wasted, but Charles doesn't know why his behavior caused the ten soldiers and the Mingda family to show admiring expressions.
Every day, almost everyone here prays that nothing will happen, just like yesterday. Why is it so close? There's one person here who is so special.
After more than ten days of idleness, Xuecai has already been a little impatient, and now everyone is particularly unpleasant, the reason why Xuecai came to the guild to take over the task with great interest is that she feels that she has grown up, and there is no place to display her martial arts? Now it is not the troubled times of the past, where will there be something to do when joining the army, there is no difference from the current training, and there are some skills.
Now more than ten days have passed, what else is there besides rushing, eating, and sleeping every day? Yukina is becoming more and more irritable in her heart, and she says that there are many bandits and robbers on this road, why haven't you seen any of them!
Charles looked at Xuecai, who was training again, and admired it from the bottom of his heart, and after going back that day, he also heard the anecdotes of Xuecai from everywhere, Xuecai did not admit defeat, did not admit defeat, and the behavior of breaking all the way for his dream made Charles particularly fond of it, although the personality is a little hot, but it is good and good, and it is bad and bad, and it is absolutely not hidden, Charles thought of himself, and laughed at himself, no comparison.
"Charles, how is your health, do you want to go to the carriage to rest?" Mingda looked at Charles with concerned eyes, and finally removed the word 'adult' behind under Charles's serious request, but the respect in his heart was deeper, this kind of aristocrats who don't put on a show will be respected by ordinary people, but every time Mingda sits in the carriage, he can't sit steadily, go down and walk for a while, go up and rest for a while, if his physical strength really doesn't allow, Mingda may follow Charles.
"Didn't you say it, I'm also from a civilian background, so I don't have to look like this. Charles chuckled lightly and patted Mingda next to him to sit down.
Mingda agreed perfunctorily, and when Charles spoke politely, his body was slightly restrained.
Charles looked at Mingda's embarrassment and couldn't help laughing, it looked like I was an elder, Mingda was more like a young man, and even called 'sir' Mingda nervously said forbidden, such an identity change Charles didn't adapt for a long time, and wanted to talk about something to eliminate the embarrassment.
"Mingda, what's your cargo? Obviously there are only two carts, why do you need a magician's guard. Charles asked a question that had been hidden in his heart for a long time, and he wanted to ask it several times, and when he saw others asking, Mingda had a perfunctory smile on his face, and Charles didn't open his mouth, and now there are only two of them, Charles couldn't help but ask.
Mingda looked at Charles's calm face, and the smile froze on his face, very embarrassed, whether to say this or not.
"If it's inconvenient, forget it. Charles also has no hobby of exploring other people's secrets, and like himself, there is a secret that no one has ever known.
"It's not inconvenient. Mingda's voice was obviously lowered, his eyes scanned the surroundings, and he looked cautious, "It's just that I don't understand this thing either." ”
"Don't understand?" Charles was puzzled when he heard this, what does it mean to not understand?
Mingda sighed: "Actually, it's not a secret, it's just too weird for me to say, because even I can't explain it myself." ”
"This time the cargo seems to be water. Mingda said an answer that made Charles even more confused, water, transported to a place where water is scarce, and sold at a high price? Charles thought amusedly.
Mingda nodded, with a distressed look on his face: "Speaking of this goods, it is also magical, it was recommended to me by a friend, at first I was 10,000 I didn't believe that I could make so much, how much, Charles is very sorry, I can't say this kind of thing." ”
Charles nodded in understanding.
"But it wasn't until the other party put a few crystal cards directly in front of me that I was so distracted that I believed it. That's just the deposit. "I wasn't so carried away by the money that I immediately asked what it was, and my friend pulled out a bottle and said, 'It's water,' and drank the liquid in my skeptical eyes." ”
"Friends see that I still don't believe it, and take out a bottle, I drank half a bottle, it seems to have a faint sweetness, nothing else, even if I doubt in my heart, there is no way not to believe, I don't want to do it after this time, I always feel uneasy, go back to my hometown to do a small business, and spend this life without losing money or earning. ”
As he spoke, Mingda took out a crystal bottle from his arms, which was crystal clear, exquisitely patterned, and contained a transparent liquid, which was 'water'.
Charles took it and it was very comfortable to touch, shaking gently, without any consistency, as if... Is it water? Charles was also puzzled, opened the cap, and drank it directly.
The entrance is slightly sweet, and the taste is exactly the same as ordinary water, and it is like white water with a little sugar, but it seems to be better than white sugar water, and there is no discomfort when it enters the abdomen.
Charles handed it back to Mingda's hand, Mingda smiled and shook his head: "You take it, if you can know what it is, please tell Mingda, I am really uneasy, of course Mingda must be rewarded heavily." ”
Charles smiled: "It's serious, but this is really curious, I'll ask Principal Clive for you when I get back to school." Charles did not say the next sentence: "Wait until I have received twenty lashes."
"Charles, what's in your hand?" Yukina saw Charles holding a crystal bottle very good-looking, even if Yukina looked like a boy, but like ordinary girls, she was very fond and curious about this handicraft-like crystal bottle. After training, he saw Charles running over quickly with an extremely fine crystal bottle in his hand and asked.
I turned my head to look at Mingda, who nodded, and I handed it over: "This is the cargo escorted this time." ”
"Wow! I'm escorting such beautiful cargo. "This Yukina and Charles's focus is obviously different, the crystal bottle is just a bottle in beauty, the focus is what is inside, but Yukina doesn't think about it so much at all, and she can't put it down.
"Charles, how much is this crystal bottle, I bought it. "Yukina likes it more and more, and she doesn't want to return it to Charles at all. Charles smiled wryly and was about to speak, when a shout was heard in the distance, and a shrill siren pierced the silence of the forest path.
"All on alert! Ready to fight!"
