Chapter 16: Departure

"Where's Fran?"

When Geo woke up, it was already afternoon, and he looked around and couldn't find Fran. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Geo got up and got dressed, and walked over to the table and sat down.

"Are you awake?"

Fran opened the door and walked in.

"Hmm. ”

"Grab a bite to eat, we'll go when it's dark. ”

Fran said, placing the food on the table.

“......”

Hearing Fran's words, Gio fell silent.

"Where are we going?"

"Go to Westman to the north, but we'll first go to the underground black market on the borders of the Duchy Tucker. “

Fran said.

"What kind of country is Westman?"

"The holy land of magicians, the cradle of warriors, there are the best schools there, you are too young now, and learning is good for you. ”

"Hmm. ”

Hearing Fran's words, Geo nodded.

In the evening, Fran walked out of the hotel with Geo.

"Shall we leave now?"

"No, I negotiated with a caravan and went with them. ”

"Oh, so, was that what you went out for?"

Geo asked.

"Well, the two of us are too easy to be targeted by thieves. ”

"That's true. ”

A female elf and a child, no matter how you look at it, they are easy targets for bullying.

"Let's go, they should be almost assembled at the town gate, let's go over. ”

"Good. ”

Geo took his dagger and followed Fran.

When she went out, Fran had already covered her whole body with her cloak, after all, Fran's appearance was definitely very outstanding, and Geo's knife was also wrapped in linen.

This makes the two of them look similar to normal hunters, and although Geo is a bit younger, it is not uncommon for them to learn from older hunters at this age.

"Oh, here you are. ”

The leader's butler nodded at Fran.

"Well, what about our position?"

"Go to the third carriage, and it's all cloth. “

"Good. “

Fran nodded and led Geo to the carriage.

"Is it just the two of us in the car?"

"Well, the team is small, only 5 wagons. Moreover, there was a carriage with people sitting on it, and they did not hire many guards, except for their own men, who only hired five people, and they would not go to the northern border with a large team until they reached the capital. ”

"Aren't so few people afraid of encountering thieves?"

"Hehe, thieves will also choose targets, teams like ours are all cloth, not a very valuable thing, and there are more than a dozen guards, robbery is not very cost-effective, so the chance of attacking us will be much smaller, of course, special circumstances are not ruled out. ”

Fran explained to Geo.

"Oh, I see. ”

Geo nodded.

"In our group, the team of thieves is generally no more than 30 people, too many words are not good, mainly because we are not on the border now, too many thieves will attract the pursuit of the state. ”

"How long will it take us to get to the capital?"

"If it goes well, it will take about 5 days, and the steward of the team leader said that they will not stay in the towns along the way for too long, and will walk along the main road all the way, and the same at night. ”

"Is it in such a hurry?"

Geo was a little confused.

"Well, actually, I think it's strange, but I think it's because of the people in the carriage, I haven't seen the people in the carriage yet, but looking at the cautious and careful appearance of the butler, the identity should be good, and I feel that there is a very strong person sitting in the carriage. “

Fran said earnestly.

"Is it strong?"

"Well, I probably won't be able to beat him head-on. ”

"That's it. ”

Geo bowed his head in thought when he heard Fran's words.

"I've been practicing hard lately, but it's still too reluctant to think about using it in battle, the Demon Hunter's Inheritance has only learned one trick now, and the basic training has been learned, so you have to work hard. “

Shaking his fist, thinking of Leno and the people of the village, Geo made up his mind and reached out to take the dictionary out.

"Don't be in a hurry. ”

Fran persuaded.

"Well, I'm not going to push myself. “

Geo laughed.

Seeing Geo's serious appearance, Fran sighed in her heart, she didn't say anything, the departure of Leno and the people in the village put too much pressure on Ligio, Fran didn't know how to make Geo forget, remembering the peaceful days, Fran was a little nostalgic, but unfortunately, what was lost will never come back.

After a day on the road, without incident, the team came to a clearing and stopped to prepare dinner.

"Whew~, my waist is about to break when I sit in the carriage. ”

The hired mercenary got out of the car and sat by the fire while preparing dinner and chatting.

"Let's go, I didn't eat anything at noon, go down and rest, I'll go get something to eat." ”

Fran got out of the car with Geo and started the fire.

Seeing that Geo and Fran didn't mean to be with the other mercenaries, the mercenaries were not a little surprised.

"Who are those two people?"

"I don't know, I just know that I was hired like us. ”

"Uh...... It's really unsociable."

A mercenary complained.

"Hehe, don't worry about it, they're just hired together anyway, and it's not in the same carriage as us. ”

"Yes. ”

Ignoring the mercenaries' arguments, Fran pulled Geo to settle the dinner on his own.

"Don't you have to say hello to them?"

"It's okay, don't pay attention to this, you must know that our identity is very sensitive now, although I don't know if the nobles have issued a wanted notice, but I have a hunch that it will not be too long, and too much contact with these people can easily arouse suspicion. “

"Oooh. ”

Geo nodded earnestly in understanding when he heard Fran's words.

Without saying anything, the two settled dinner, climbed into the carriage and sat down, waiting for the team to leave again.

As night came, the torch-lit men led the way on horseback, and the carriages followed.

"Do you want to get some sleep? ”

Fran said to Geo.

"It's okay, it's just dark, it's not very sleepy, and the road is too bumpy. ”

Geo rubbed his neck and said.

"Hehe~"

Hearing Geo's words, Fran reached out and hugged Geo over, resting his head on his lap.

"Sleep, I'll make you a pillow. “

“......”

Geo could only close his eyes helplessly.

In the middle of the night, Geo woke up.

"Fran, won't you sleep?"

"It's okay, I just squinted for a moment. ”

Fran handed him the kettle.

"Are you still walking?"

Geo took a sip of the kettle.

"Well, it looks like they're in a hurry. ”

"I don't understand. ”

"Hehe, it's good for us to arrive early anyway. ”

"That's right. ”

Without dwelling on the question, Geo lifted the cloth from the carriage window and looked outside.

"It's going to be a little bit before dawn. ”

"Well, it's going to be a long time, won't you sleep?"

"No, I can't sleep. ”

Geo said.

"In this way, then I'll sleep~"

"Huh?"

Before Gio could react, Fran hugged him and held him in his arms.

“......”

Geo was speechless as he looked at the way Fran used him as a pillow.

Seeing Fran close her eyes, Geo didn't move anymore.

"There are only a few places where the inheritance can be fully understood, and it will not be understood until Weisman learns the ancient characters well. ”

Geo thought helplessly.

Although I have a dictionary in hand, the dictionary is not a panacea, and many words are not found on it at all.

At the end of the day, Fran woke up.

"Hmm~~ It's so comfortable. ”

Fran rubbed Geo's face and said with a happy expression.

“......”

Looking at Fran's appearance, Geo was a little speechless.

"It's almost dawn. “

"Hmm. ”

Fran looked at the sky outside, took out two dough from the package, and handed them to Geo.

"Eat a little, this time is the most likely time for accidents, thieves know that this time is the time when people are the most lax, if you want to start, they will generally choose this time, and it is rare to do it during the day. “

Seeing that Geo didn't want to eat much, Fran persuaded him.

Hearing Fran's words, Geo didn't say anything, and resigned himself to nibbling on the dough, although he really didn't have much appetite, he still chose to eat it, after all, no one knew if it would happen.

"Whew~~ I'm sleepy. “

The mercenary who walked in front yawned.

In an instant, he seemed to hear something, and years of experience told him that something was going to happen, and subconsciously rolled off the horse.

"Ugh. “

A cracking sound came over his head.

"Enemy attack!!"

The mercenary who reacted broke out in a cold sweat and screamed.

The two who heard the voice were stunned, and instantly took the weapon in their hands and sat in the carriage to stand guard.

I didn't go outside at the first time because I didn't know how many archers there were, and I was too anxious to go out and instead provided the other party with a target.

The whole team reacted quickly, and the lighting magic on the carriage lit up.

The mercenaries stood in front of them with shields and stepped out of the carriage, while several men with shields also walked out of the carriage on the butler's side.

"What a situation. ”

"Someone attacked me. ”

The mercenary who had just ridden his horse pointed to the bow and arrow on the ground and said.

At the moment of seeing the bow and arrows, the faces of the people who got out of the carriage also became solemn, and they looked around vigilantly.

Fran also poked her head out and took a look at the situation.

"How?"

"There shouldn't have been many people attacking, they didn't launch a direct attack on us, and they were very experienced, it looks like they should have come towards the people in the carriage. ”

"How?"

Geo asked.

"If you want money, you should solve us as quickly as possible, and then take the things away, and clean up the traces is the right thing to do, so as to avoid the pursuit of the official army to the greatest extent, and the other party did not do this, obviously they have enough patience to wait for us to make a mistake, so that they can judge that the other party is here to kill." ”

"That's right. ”

Geo took note of these experiences, which will help him well in the future.

"What are we going to do?"

"Get out. ”

Fran finished holding Geo and getting off the other side of the carriage and crouching behind the shadows.

Fran saw the leader's butler, nodded to him, and ran through the shadows with Geo towards the bushes by the roadside.

And Geo, for the first time, will see how the elves in the night solve the hidden enemies.
