Chapter 173: The Return

Before dawn, Dio and the wild man returned to the woods, and Gordon and Raymond did not sleep all night, and when they saw Dio's figure, they immediately greeted him, and Raymond preemptively said, "Why did you come back?

"Conflict?" Dio smiled, "If there is a conflict, then you will never see me again." ”

"What?" Raymond was stunned.

"Judith is over there. Theo said.

"Judith......? Judith the Firefox?!" Raymond shouted.

"That's her. ”

Raymond and Gordon looked at each other, although their strength was much stronger than when they first met Judith, but it was still a lot worse to face Judith's True Scarlet Dance with the combat power of three radiant warriors, and it was useless to add that wild man. What's more, Judith must have her own helpers, an extreme samurai leading a group of radiant samurai, and the difference in strength between the two sides is too great.

"I'm grass...... How could that dead woman be here?!" Raymond muttered.

"Dio, what are we going to do?" asked Gordon softly, and at this moment, even the most impulsive Gordon had the idea of retreating.

"Let's go back. Theo said.

"We didn't do anything, just go back?" Raymond shouted again, "Give them all of the Star Fragment Mine?!"

"Who says we didn't do anything?" Dior felt a little amused, and the roles played by Gordon and Raymond were completely reversed.

"Huh?" Raymond looked at Dio with a suspicious look.

"At least, I know now, Judith wants to send back all the shards of the stars that have been found. Dio said with a smile.

"Where?" asked Raymond.

"Wherever Franvi is, he will be delivered. ”

"They've discovered the mines! Do they need to send them away?" said Gordon, "as long as Franvi and his bandit are transferred over at once." ”

"He won't. Theo said.

"Why not?"

"I thought about it on the road. Dio said slowly: "Gordon, you say, is it the strength of the Marquis of Sain, or the strength of Franvi?"

"Marquis of Sain, of course, or Franvi would have become the de facto lord a long time ago. Gordon said.

"So Franvi must stay there and contain the Marquis of Sain, and not let the Marquis of Sain send an army to blockade the plains of Chris. ”

"Makes sense. Raymond nodded: "Franvi's advantage is that he is flexible, if he really swims around the marquisate, it will make it very difficult for the Marquis of Sain, and send most of the warriors to the plain of Chris to find the star fragments, his marquisate will be in danger, and only send a small number of warriors...... It's hard to control the situation. ”

"Moreover, the storage of star fragments is limited. Dio added: "It's like a cauldron in an open field, in which a fragrant broth is boiling, and the first person to rush to the cauldron will always have the greatest advantage, he will eat meat when he wants, drink soup when he wants to, and even spit a few mouthfuls into the pot or sprinkle urine after he has eaten and drunk enough." ”

"You're disgusting......" Raymond smiled wryly.

"I'm sure Franvi would have done that. Dio said lightly: "Every time Franvi drags Marquis Sain for a day, his people can find a large number of star fragments, if he can hold Marquis Sain for a month, I think there is not much meat left in the pot, Franvi will leave satisfied, because he has already gotten the most, a bandit group, and a marquis with the highest authority in the plains of Chris to rob the minerals...... That's impossible, Franvi should know that. ”

"Okay, okay......" Raymond muttered, and then his eyes widened suddenly: "What about us? Franvi ran away satisfied, Marquis Sain can still hold the cauldron and continue to eat and drink, whether it is broth or saliva, Marquis Sain can always get a lot of benefits, what about us?!"

"We have things to do, too. Dio laughed.

"What else can we do?" Raymond shook his head, "in terms of time...... It's too late, damn Franvi!"

"We can grab Franvi and make him spit out everything he just eats. ”

"What are you kidding?" exclaimed Raymond, "even the Marquis of Sain can't do anything with Franvi, can we catch him?"

"Hijacking his convoy?" Gordon's eyes lit up.

"That's right. Dio nodded: "There is only one way to cross the plain of Chris! all we have to do is to be prepared, if necessary...... We'll also need the help of the barony, with Uncle Donn, Spike and Steven, and the warriors led by Judith the Firefox will never be our match. ”

"What if they don't take the big road?" said Raymond.

"Have you calculated the speed of the carriage in the wilderness?" asked Theo, "if they go on the main road, they will be able to rush back in ten days, but if they go through the wilderness, they may not reach the barony in a month, and every day of delay will increase the danger." ”

Raymond didn't think about it and stopped talking.

"What's more, the terrain of Chriss Plains is very flat, and there is almost no shelter to provide. Dio said: "Walking on the big road, others will think that they are caravans, sneakily marching in the wilderness, isn't it clearly telling others that they are strange?"

"What if they're going to transport the star fragments to the secret lair?" Raymond had a new idea.

In fact, Raymond's caution is not superfluous, and repeatedly asking questions from all sides will make Dio's ideas more mature and more thorough.

Dio pondered for a moment: "Maybe it's not a big name, Franvi has been stagnant in the realm of the Extreme Warrior for too long, he needs this batch of superb star fragments, to stay near the marquisdom, to contain the energy of the Marquis of Sain, this is already the limit of his patience, it's hard to imagine that he will transport the star fragments back to the lair." ”

Raymond scratched his head, although Dio's judgment was unfounded, it was reasonable, and it was impossible for anyone to be 100% accurate in estimating this kind of thing, as long as there were six or seven percent possible surnames, it would be worth a try.

"And what are we waiting for?" said Gordon, "it's time to go back." ”

"If we really robbed Franvi's stuff...... Do you think he's going to cry?" Raymond said with a smile: "He looted everywhere, and now we have robbed him, retribution...... Hahaha. ”

"We need to be careful, too. Gordon said, "Franvi will fight with us." ”

"Don't be afraid. Dio smiled: "Sophia's mentor is coming, and Franvi's greatest skill is to escape, hide, and want to attack our manor head-on, and he is still a little short." ”

The return journey took a little shorter time than when they came, and the wild man gave them a way to explore the way, saving them a lot of trouble, and when they got out of the hinterland of the plains of Chris, several people galloped all the way, and the wild man also showed jaw-dropping physical strength, he actually galloped behind the war horse on two legs, and the horse was foaming at the mouth, but he did nothing. Moreover, as long as he can do it, he must rush to do it, such as collecting firewood, setting up sentry posts, etc., but he also eats a large amount, and Raymond's meal is not small, but it is not half that of the savage, and whenever he sweeps away the food of the night like a wind and clouds, he always shows an embarrassed and silly smile.

In fact, Dio and the others were even more embarrassed, it seemed that there was not an extra friend around them, but an extra slave, and more importantly, they also took so many star fragments from others for nothing. In another world, Dio, who was induced by a bad professor, has always regarded the phrase "diligence" and "hard work" as a derogatory term: why should the working people be diligent? Why should the working people have to work hard and complain? Now he found that this sentence was really suitable for the savages...... Within the agreed half a month, Dio and the others finally returned to the manor, and the warriors guarding the gate of the manor saw the figure of the roaring beast from afar, and immediately ran inside, and it didn't take long for Sophia, Isabel, Xueni, and the students of Santis Academy to welcome them out.

"Big hero, are you willing to go home?" exclaimed Isabel with a grin.

"Big hero?" Dior was stunned.

"Yes, Sophia always says you go out and do very, very important things, and I asked her what the hell was going on, and she wouldn't tell me. Isabel said: "Those who can do great things, of course, are big heroes." ”

"Of course it's a big deal. Raymond answered, and then he and Dio looked at each other, took out a water bladder, pulled off the cork, poured a small piece of shiny something out of it, and threw it at Isabel.

They have been discussing how to improve the plan and how to get the most out of the road in the past few days, and now is a good opportunity to hand over their cards to Isabel.

The secret can't be hidden, and they are not qualified to monopolize it, and the first bite of meat must be the largest and most delicious, tell the secret to the students of Santis Academy, and when the reinforcements from Santis Academy arrive, they have already swallowed the first bite, and then together with Santis Academy, they can compete with Marquis de Sain, which can also be mixed with a few mouthfuls of soup to drink, with their current status and strength, it is already very good to be able to do this.

Isabel took the fragment of the star, and when she sensed the majestic source power fluctuations contained in it, her face immediately changed, and Xue Ni leaned over and picked up the fragment of the star, and her face also changed.

"Where did you get it?" asked Xue Ni, handing the star shard to Sophia, with a solemn expression.

Sophia also looked a little surprised, she didn't understand why Theo and they confessed their secrets in public.

(I've been quietly writing the code word, and now it's time to say a few words.) Actually, I am very dissatisfied with the writing of this book, and whenever I have time, I will reflect on what went wrong, and besides, it doesn't feel right now. How to say, when I wrote "Lost War" and "Empire Turmoil", I didn't have an outline at all, I didn't know how to write that thing, and when I wrote "The Legend of the Assassins", I only set up a simple structure, and there was a main line, when I wrote "God of War", the outline and setting were very detailed, and in this "Divine Codex", the outline and setting are called a perfect...... It took me more than a month to write a chapter without writing a chapter.

Overly detailed preparation, there are benefits, at least I won't be as tired as before, in the worst time, three thousand words can take me seven or eight hours, every time I start to code words, I have to spend a lot of time to think about the plot, and then I can start writing. Well, now that I don't brag at all, the plot changes in the future are all in my head, and as long as I sit in front of the computer, I can write it immediately.

However, suddenly I had a very strange feeling that I was sitting in a workshop and repeating the same kind of work over and over again.

A lot of the ideas and inspirations generated in the process of coding words were excluded by me, because they didn't match the plot changes that had been set, and they didn't match the outline, and I couldn't change the main line because of one idea, in that case, the workload would be too huge.

For example, I'm like a worker who packs mineral water, all mineral water bottles are the same, I can't paint flowers and grass here as I want, no matter how good my painting skills are, if I have to do it, I will be fired.

Stiff and lacking in spirit, I couldn't write the tone I wanted.
