Chapter 41: The Arrival of the Destination
After an afternoon of complete sleep, the team finally rested from the fatigue of constant fighting and travel.
"I've been tired to death for the past two days, and I've been either on the road or fighting. In a private room at the inn, Saura Occam spoke to the crowd with a sleepy expression. At this time, the night has just fallen, and the afterglow of the sun can be vaguely seen in the distance. And after an afternoon of rest, the team was already hungry at this moment, so after everyone woke up, Roland led everyone to find a private room in the inn to eat and chat together.
"Big... Miss Marris, when will you be able to show us your hands again, I can't stand it anymore after eating these canteen-like meals these days. Seeing that everyone ignored him, after picking up a piece of barbecue and eating it, Sora Occam changed the subject again. Indeed, this journey has basically been spent in inns or inns, so everyone's meals are solved in inns or inns, and after getting used to eating the food cooked by Yan O'Felil, to be honest, even Roland himself now misses the food cooked by Yan O'Felil.
"Yes, when Miss Maris is free, you can show us a few more hands. Sure enough, after listening to Sora Occam's complaints, the interest of the team was aroused by Sora Occam again, and Solo Christine, who couldn't bear it, asked next.
"Okay, hurry up and eat, after eating, we will go out for a walk, and we will only care about finding a place to rest at noon. Now that I've rested enough, I've eaten enough, and I'm out for a walk. Although Roland also missed the food prepared by Yan Ofeliel, but somehow, he only wanted her to make it for himself to eat, so Roland interrupted what they wanted to say without waiting for everyone to start on this topic.
"No, no, I haven't rested enough. When Roland first made this proposal, Ronald Nice was the first to come out and oppose it. After speaking, he pretended to be very tired.
"I don't go out either, the last time I went out, I didn't encounter any good things but worked all night, I see that after eating, I should go back and rest early, and I have to go tomorrow." Trosa, on the other hand, still looked honest, and before Roland could react, he told his thoughts.
"I ...... I don't go either, hehe, tired. Why don't you go out with Miss Marris. And Sora Occam, who was originally the most active, also looked very tired when Roland looked at him. As everyone knows, he originally planned to agree to go out, but he had no choice but to change his words when Roland looked over under the pull of Roe Ide and I. Ward on the side, as well as the signals of other people. And the rest of the crowd also looked like they were not well rested, and they silently objected.
"What do you see, Miss Marris?" Helplessly, Roland could only look at Yan Ofeliel on the side and ask, in fact, Roland was still a little pleased with this situation.
"I... I didn't go either, everyone looked very tired, and besides, I had to hurry tomorrow morning. Yan Ofeliel whispered with her head down. In fact, Yan Ofeliel also wanted to go out shopping, as a lady, who didn't like shopping, it was good to look at it if she didn't buy anything, but after seeing the reaction of the rest of the team, she still changed her attention after Roland looked at it, especially after inadvertently seeing the meaningful gaze of Sora Occam. In the end, Roland had to give up the idea of going out for a walk, so he had to return to his room and start cultivating, although the Prince of Ceylon told everyone not to improve his strength, but this did not affect Roland's accumulation of existing strength. At the same time, due to the improvement of his own strength before, he also took advantage of this time to consolidate and familiarize himself. As he gradually entered a meditative state, Roland began to scan his mental and physical parts over and over again. When he first arrived at the orange halo, Roland only felt that the huge difference between the orange halo and the red halo was in perception and reaction, if the red halo person can only perceive people and things within one meter of themselves, and deal with them within this perception range, then the range of the orange halo can reach a distance of three meters. And the coordination and recovery ability of the body are also several times stronger than when they are red, which is why the team can't defeat an enemy at the beginning of the orange halo when fighting against bandits. But as the realm slowly consolidated, Roland gradually felt the inadequacy of his cognition. Because if you simply think that the combination of spirit and body can improve your strength, then there is no need to have such a level to block everyone's cultivation path here, that is, to find your own path, for why to find your own path, what role the choice of this path will play in the future cultivation Roland is still deeply puzzled.
After observing herself carefully and finding no problems, Laura did not delve too deeply into this problem, but slowly improved her mental level.
"Are you ready, let's go. The next morning, the well-rested people gathered at the door of the inn, and after packing up their things and getting ready, they continued to their destination under the leadership of Roland.
Not long after continuing to set off in the northwest direction, everyone galloped along the fork in the road towards the northeast under the leadership of Roland, and did not continue to drive northwest. And it was Roland's change of course this time that allowed Roland and others to escape a catastrophe.
After turning a fork in the road, the Whispering Team once again moved away from the bustling road, and as the distance progressed, the pedestrians on the road became more and more scarce. Crops and fields that used to be ubiquitous are gradually being replaced by woods and meadows.
"Young master, how far do you have to go, except for the ground here that is a little flatter than my hometown, everything else is almost the same. After a day of riding, Sora Occam asked without losing her words.
"Rest for the night today, leave early tomorrow morning, and if it goes well, you will be able to reach your destination tomorrow evening." After looking at the map, Roland spoke to the crowd.
"Sora Occam, you and I. Ward go around and do some guard stuff by the way. The others packed up the camp first. After seeing that everyone had no opinions, Roland said to everyone. The group had left the plains earlier, and now they were on the outskirts of the mountains, and they had found a woods to camp for tonight, and after Thora Occam and I. Ward had returned from their rounds, and Yan Ofeliel had already prepared a supper and waited for them, although there was no good food for the dinner, but the wolves who had been waiting for a long time were very satisfied with the elaboration of Yan Ofelil.
"Tonight out of Yan Ofeliel, two people in one post, two hours in one shift, Sola Occam and I. Ward first, me and Ro Ide second, Solo Christine and Mont Feral third, Cuthbert and Inheim fourth, the rest of Ro Nice and Inheim fifth, everyone pay attention, now we are far away from the town, in this kind of place at any time there may be accidents. At the end of the dinner, Roland arranged for the crowd to arrive. As it turned out, there were times when luck was sometimes, and nothing happened to the team that night, so after a good night's rest, everyone continued to gallop towards their destination. And since the mountains here are much flatter than the Blair Mountains, in the middle of the afternoon, everyone has already arrived at the purpose of this mission.
When they received the task, they thought about this destination in many ways, but they definitely didn't think about what they saw in front of them. At this moment, the Whispering Squad was fiercely blocked out of a valley. From a distance, it looks like a normal valley, but is steeper than some of the valleys on the road before. From the outside of the valley, I can only see a lush greenery inside, and it is not the slightest bit that it has reached the late autumn.
"Come and stop the road, this is the place where our lord lives in seclusion, if there is nothing to do, please go back, our lord does not like to be disturbed. Outside the valley, an old man stood quietly in front of Roland and the others, and said to everyone. After the team arrived, the old man suddenly appeared in front of everyone's eyes like a gust of wind, blocking everyone from continuing to advance into the valley.
"This gentleman, I don't know who the owner of Guigu is, and I have been ordered to come here and ask for a letter to be forwarded to a man in Guigu. Seeing the sudden appearance of the old man, Roland dismounted and said politely.
"In this valley, my master and I are the only two of us, and since we have a letter to send, leave it to me. The old man didn't let Roland and the others go in because of this, and still stood outside the valley and said calmly.
"I can't answer the little one, sir, and the order requires me to deliver the letter to the recipient myself. Roland did not agree to the old man's request, but still insisted, although it was clear from the old man's expression that the old man was from the valley, and did not want everyone to disturb the master of the valley.
"Oh, tell me who your letter is going to for, and if there is no man in the valley, you won't have to spend any more time. After listening to what Roland said, the old man seemed to be a little interested.
"Give it to a man named Esquire. After speaking, Roland quietly looked at the old man in front of him.
"Are there any tokens?" Sure enough, after Roland said the name, a trace of surprise flashed in the old man's eyes, and after thinking for a while, Roland asked.
"I wonder what this is?" said Roland, handing over the swarthy token his father had given him.
"Wait here. After receiving the token, a trace of solemnity flashed in the old man's eyes, and he said a word to Roland and then quickly drifted towards the valley.
"Young master, who is this old man, so dragged. After confirming that the old man was far away, Solo Christine said indignantly.
"Take it easy, this old man is not simple, maybe none of us are his opponents. Looking at the old man who was looking away, Yi Ward said solemnly. The others did not say anything, but still stood outside the valley and waited quietly.
"Everyone, please come in!" the old man went as fast as he could, and after a while he reappeared outside the valley, and his tone was much better than before, and he was no longer in a tone of rejection. The Whispering Squad followed the old man and walked towards the valley.
