Thea, who was wearing a plain long dress, had a hint of pleading on her delicate face.

Every time I see her blue eyes, I think of the sea, the sun, the beach......

I don't know what kind of magic she cast, the shallow green scales on her body have completely disappeared, her skin is delicate and fair, and her fish tail has completely disappeared. Leg contour.

Surdak asked, somewhat confused:

"Thea, what's the matter?"

Thea hung her head slightly, her long green algae hair still wet, and there were small droplets of water running down the ends of her hair.

Her long wet hair clings to her forehead, making her face even more beautiful.

"Viscount Surdak, I can go with you to Tarappa to dare ......," Thea said with courage.

Her imperial Chinese language should have been learned from Signa, with the slang peculiar to the city of Hylansa, and when people in other places say 'Talapakang', the tail will definitely not rise.

"You want to go on a mission with us?" Surdak asked.

"Hmm!" Thea replied in the affirmative.

Surdak thought it was a little strange that a Cana merfolk had offered to go out with him on a mission.

When Surdak said goodbye to Signa and Nika just now, Thea sat next to her, and Surdak didn't avoid her, and now he felt a little regretful when he saw her knocking on the door and looking for her......

“…… It's a Luther Legion, and it has nothing to do with you! Surdak stood at the door of the room and said to Thea: "In addition, this mission is also dangerous, I can't take care of you during the mission, this is not a simple field experience or exploration......

Thea's eyes widened, and she said very seriously: "If necessary, I can join your cavalry battalion, then it will have something to do with me." ”

Seeing Surdak reaching out to close the door, she quickly squeezed half of her body to the door frame, and said stubbornly, "Do you think I'm a burden? I'm a weaver who graduated from the Seven Realms Sea Witch Academy and have the ability to manipulate the water element, and I thought I could help. ”

She lifted her pointed chin, revealing her delicate neck and collarbones.

Surdak scratched his head in annoyance, he didn't want to discuss with a Cana merfolk whether she was worth it......

Surdak said bluntly:

"If you just want to leave, I can take you to Bena City, and then give you an airship ticket for Ignas City, I heard that the Ignas City Airport Pier is built on a 100-meter-high sea cliff, as long as you arrive at the Airport Pier, you can jump into the Endless Sea with a light jump, of course, how to return to the Seven Seas, you have to figure out your own way, it is estimated that you will have to swim thousands of kilometers......"

Thea was slightly stunned, she didn't expect Surdak to say this.

Surdak then added:

"Originally, I thought I would be doing this when I took Signa and Nika to Hiranza City when the weather warmed up, and since you're a little homesick, I can take you to Ignath City this time."

Thea had no idea that Surdak had already thought of sending her home.

However, once the Cana Sea Clan has an obsession in their hearts, they want to complete this matter, and this is an equivalent exchange for them...... The Canahai don't need alms.

"I want to help you complete a mission, get an airship ticket to Ignas City, I feel the need to show my worth, please trust me to help you." Thea said with some stubbornness.

“…… I believe in your strength, but forget about this mission, you don't need to venture over there. Surdak patted the girl on the shoulder, but she didn't expect her shoulder to be so slippery.

He was slightly stunned, and then quietly withdrew his hand.

Thea also blushed, her eyes a little misty...... The moment the fingertips of that hand touched her shoulder, Thea felt like an electric shock, as if an electric arc had crawled through the tip of her heart, and her whole heart was a little numb.

Surdak felt that the atmosphere was a little wrong, and even Selena, who was packing, looked at the door.

He hurriedly said, "I can take you back to Bena City, and if you do what you say, you can leave Dodan Town with us tomorrow morning, but this road will also take a week on horseback, and it will be by land during this time, and there will be no contact with water, are you sure you can?" ”

"I can."

Thea puffed out her mouth, revealing three thin gills on the left and right sides of her chin.

Surdak nodded and said, "Alright then, see you tomorrow morning, I think you can use the little time you have left, and you may be able to say a brief goodbye to Signa and Nika......"

It's clear that you look down on mermaids! Thea curtsied, and turned away a little depressed......

……

Surdak returned to the room, and Selena had stepped into the steaming tub and sank her body.

Resting on the pillow next to the bathtub, she picked up a glass of hot milk and drank it in one gulp.

Winters in Dodan are cold, and being able to soak in the tub at home is definitely an addictive treat.

The bathroom is only separated from the bedroom by a wall, Surdak watched the mermaid Miss Teng Teng run back to her room outside the window, and then turned around and lay on the soft and thick bed, with her head resting on her hands. The legs are flat out and the insteps are stacked on top of each other.

"When I first arrived at the White Forest Plane, I heard that Wilkes City was like spring all year round, and I thought that there was no spring in the White Forest Plane." Surdak said with self-deprecation.

"It's too far from Wilkes......," Selena sighed.

The door to the washroom was open, and there was no obstruction to the sound of the conversation.

"By the way, tomorrow the Epson and the shoemaker from the tailor's shop will bring in their modified miner's uniforms and anti-smashing shoes...... Surdak said.

He thought for a while and said: "The miner's uniform must be wear-resistant and strong, and the other thing is to make the price low, after all, it is an order of thousands of sets, and it will be done in winter and summer in the future, and it will be issued once a year." Last time, there were no pickaxes, chisels, ropes, and kettle hooks on the belt of the sample, and I asked him to take it back and change it, and this time you should focus on the improvement in these areas. ”

"The anti-smashing shoes are a little more demanding, and I want to have a stone the size of a basin on the upper of the shoe without hurting the foot. And the shoes can't be too bulky, the last sample was smashed by me, since we have such a good hard carapace material, if the shoemaker still can't do it this time, I will take this batch of orders to the city of Bena. ”

"And I commissioned Malacombe to buy a batch of pickaxes mixed with lapis lazuli, and when it arrives, you have someone sharpen the pickaxe blade twice with a file, and if it still files twice, the iron filings will fall, so throw it back to him."

"It is said that I don't need to make uniform clothes for the miners, let alone customize leather shoes for them, in fact, these are needed sooner or later, which can make the mine form a certain centripetal force and sense of superiority."

The sound of watering came from the bathroom, and only after it subsided did Selena say:

"I know, the tailor shop owner and the leather shoemaker have been so troubled by your demanding demands that if it weren't for the large number of orders, and the fact that every miner's uniform and every pair of shoes is earned, I think they would have gone far."

Thinking of the silence of Surdak yesterday when he threw his miners' suits at the feet of the tailor shopkeeper, Selena couldn't help but laugh.

Surdak sighed and said, "The requirements are a little harsh, but it is also an improvement for them, they don't want to stay in Dodan Town for the rest of their lives, they have to find a way to get out of here, then this step can't be avoided." ”

Selena changed the subject: "That mermaid lady wants to leave here with you, will it be troublesome?" ”

Surdak snorted: "The Luther Legion doesn't even have this privilege in the White Forest Plane, so what kind of garrison is there, I will bring her to Bena City safely." ”

Selena said casually: "I'm just worried that you will be in trouble, originally you had a little tension with the noble circle of Wilkes City, according to the laws of the Green Empire, every citizen cannot help a slave who is fleeing outside, if you find a slave who is fleeing outside, you have to report it to the local security team, when you take Thea through the portal of Wilkes City, try to be careful, don't be discovered by them." ”

"Know ......," Surdak said, "rest assured...... In fact, it doesn't matter whether this kind of thing is taken care of or not, but when you meet, you can help it, and as you can see, Thea has become good friends with Signa and Nika, and just because she is a friend of Signa, I can't stand idly by. ”

"That's it...... I can't go to Ignas City, so I can only put her on a magic airship, and give the captain a little money, and I should be able to send her back to sea safely. ”

"It's quite pitiful to think about, she lives in the town of Dodan, just like we live alone on a desert island!"

"Okay." Selena said.

There was a rumbling sound of running water next door, presumably Selena getting up from the bathtub......

……

In the early morning, there was still a faint mist around the town of Dodan.

The withered yellow grass in the distance could not be seen, and even the construction site of the Warrior Academy not far away had become a blur under the mist.

A faint layer of mist clings to the surface, and the higher you go, the lighter it becomes.

Samira rode a Gubolai horse, and waited with the two-headed ogre Gulitham on the bridge at the entrance of the town, obviously there were two bodies, but three people were chatting, and most of the time, Gulitham and the Brain Flower brothers were constantly raising the bar, as if quarrels had become a part of their lives.

Surdak was a little curious, Gullitm found an ogre mate in the future, could it be that the four of them got together and quarreled......

Seeing that Surdak was followed by two people, the Chester Great Swordsman was a little surprised.

"This is Victor Magician of the Hylantha Magic Guild, and he is traveling with us to prepare to return to the Hylantha Magical Guild."

"This is Miss Thea of the Cana Sea Clan, and she is returning to Bena City with us, and will transfer to Ignath in a magical airship."

Surdak introduced to the Great Swordsman of Chester.

The Archswordsman of Chester nodded politely to Victor, he glanced at Miss Mermaid, and had some other thoughts in his mind, so he whispered to Surdak, "How can there be a Cana Sea Clan in Dodan Town...... Dark, you always have something to surprise. ”

Surdak smiled, not arguing.

……

This road is basically riding horses during the day and resting at night.

In order to be able to take care of Victor and Miss Mermaid Thea, the Great Swordsman of Chester did not choose to camp in the wilderness, but stayed in hotels in the towns along the way as much as possible.

The white forest plane is actually not much to describe in the winter wilderness, the further south you go, the less snow covers the grass, and when the group arrives at the outskirts of Wilkes, the grass here is still slightly blue, not all yellow.

And Wilkes City is also much warmer, and there is no need to wear thick cotton clothes at all.

When entering the city, the Chester Great Swordsman rode directly through the drawbridge of the moat of the North City Gate, and the guards at the city gate stood up straight and saluted the Chester Great Swordsman.

Thea was wearing a magician's black robe with a thick hood on her head.

Victor wore it the same way, but his hood was open, he wore a magic badge on his chest, and he kept a straight face.

The guards, including Samira and the two-headed ogre Gulitham, passed through the gates without any checks.

The moat here is not even frozen, there is no wind, and there is not a trace of waves.

The Great Swordsman of Chester did not return to the military headquarters, and directly led Surdak and his party to the Civic Center Square.

……

The streets of Wilkes City are very lively, full of all kinds of clamour, the aroma of fried food wafts far along the street, fried chicken, fried fish, french fries, ......

The ogre, with his tall body more than three meters tall, lined up in front of the fried chicken stall, his body hung with heavy chain mail and iron plate armor plates, and when he walked, he inevitably made a clanging sound, which frightened the citizens who were queuing up to buy fried chicken.

The stall owner was crying with a sad face, looking at the two-headed ogre with a vicious image in front of him, and he was speechless at all.

The ogre's voice sounded like a drum, and he patiently asked the stall owner, "How much does a fried chicken cost?" ”

"One...... One...... One...... A silver coin ......," the stall said, stammering.

The ogre Gullitam calculated, took out a golden gold coin from the gap between the belt under his belly, threw it to the stall owner, and said loudly: "Then I'll buy forty ......."

After speaking, he smiled at the brain flower on the side and said, "You eat twenty, I eat twenty, there should be no problem, right?" ”

Only when talking about eating, the ogre brothers do not quarrel, and their opinions are easily unified.

“…… Two! At this time, the stall owner suddenly said another sentence.

"What two, I'll buy forty, he ...... He has twenty ...... I'm twenty! Ogre Gulitham yelled at the stall owner.

"A silver coin...... Two! The frightened and sweaty stall owner finally said his words completely.

Putting the fried whole chickens into a cloth bag, loading, loading, the stall owner stopped with an embarrassed expression.

The two-headed ogre looked at Surdak and his party who had already walked into the central square, and urged the stall owner: "Hurry up, hurry up, I'm in a hurry!" ”

"Only...... Thirty-two fried chickens......" said the stall owner in horror.

Gulit looked at the fat chickens piled up next to the oil pot and asked, "Isn't there still one over there?" ”

"Those...... It's just been oiled once, and it's not cooked yet. The stall owner found out that this ogre was actually reasonable, so he was not so flustered.

Gulit waved his hand again and again, shouting, "Quickly put it on, I don't have time to wait......"

After the stall owner had filled the fried chicken, he picked up the cloth bag and chased after Surdak's back, ignoring the stall owner......

The stall owner shouted loudly in the back: "Guest, I haven't asked you for change yet......"

Gulit didn't look back, and chased after him.

Brain Flower turned to the stall owner and said loudly, "The rest is a tip!" ”

This stall owner probably met a local tyrant who tipped more than he paid for chickens, so he took out the gold coins in his palm and put them in his mouth and took a bite, and then he was completely relieved, watching the back of the two-headed ogre leaving...... There were some mixed feelings.
