Volume VII Section 53 Recuperation
After listening to Hess's speculation, everyone couldn't find any loopholes for a while, so the sudden acceleration of the miasma was also believed to be caused by many days of rain.
At this time, Kerton continued: "After discovering that a large number of soul masters appeared, Chico and I continued to observe for a while until we were able to confirm that they were all heading in one direction, that is, the mushroom-shaped peak. ”
Then, as soon as we thought it was too late, we hurried back to the camp. ”
After explaining the matter in general, Kerton looked at Lornell and said, "Although I have not personally seen the Divine Tree Ridge, I also agree with the Hess brothers that that mushroom-shaped strange mountain must be the Divine Tree Ridge. ”
"Brother Lornell, what do you think we should do now?"
Kerton suddenly called Lornell a big brother, which surprised Lornell and made him unable to answer for a while.
For Kelton and Lornell, at first, Kelton didn't have a good look at this Lornell because he was hired by the dead Brent, but this can't be blamed on him, mercenaries are only loyal to their employers, and their main goal is to complete tasks.
For a figure like Lornell, who is neither an employer nor has little to do with the task, Kelton naturally does not take a second look.
However, since the Stone and his party killed Brent, Kerton and Chico not only failed in their mission, but even their employer was killed, although it was an extremely shameful thing for the mercenaries, and they would be punished by the mercenaries, and even blacklisted. Immortality is not allowed to set foot in the mercenary's house.
In a sense. Kerton and Chico during the time they returned to the mercenary's office. He is free, he does not need to protect his employer, nor does he have any pressure on the task, it is a situation in which he is not bound by things, and he is allowed to do as he pleases.
And the reason why Kerton took the initiative to get closer to Lonaire was actually a little selfish.
After all, Lornell belongs to the same organization, the Obliteration Gang, just like the dead Brent. If he can explain to himself that the employer was killed because of his death, then the mercenary office will definitely reduce the punishment of Kerton and Chico and give them a lighter sentence.
At this time, Kelton had already formed a temporary team with Lornell, so he was more sure of his purpose, and now he wanted to get along with Lornell as much as possible, hoping that he could return to the mercenary station with him afterwards. Say something nice to yourself and Chico.
Lornell, of course, doesn't know what the hell Kelton is fighting. However, seeing that the other party's words were flattering, and there was still the same purpose, he put aside the previous festivals of the two sides and greeted them with a smile.
Lonell smiled, "Hehehe. Brother Certon, you and Brother Chico have had a hard trip, and I think it's better to rest first, but we are now a small team, and the decision of the team will naturally be left to the captain. ”
Lornell is a man who is strong in calculation and cautious, and what he said is just right, not only showing that he has the intention of releasing his suspicions with Kelton, but also giving the decision of the team to the stone, so to speak, this seemingly random sentence has the magic of killing two birds with one stone.
Kelton naturally heard the meaning of reconciliation from Lornell's words, and his heart was suddenly happy, but after all, the small friction between him and Lornell was just a personal matter for the entire team, so he took the overall situation into account and followed Lornell's words, moved his gaze to the stone, and waited for his answer.
Stone was originally the captain of Hess, Navia, Boqi and Berry, although there was an extra group of Dark Soul Master teammates at this time, his strength was still the strongest among everyone, so the position of captain was still him.
At this time, the stone was thinking about what was going on with those miasma and why it suddenly dissipated faster, but he couldn't think of a strong conclusion for a while, but he definitely wouldn't agree with Hess's statement that it was affected by the weather.
If such a sparse light rain could easily dissipate the miasma, then there would not be such a large group of miasma in the Divine Tree Mountain Range, and it would never have been permeated by the miasma for a whole hundred years.
Of course, the stone will not make this matter clear, the Divine Tree is an inevitable thing for him, and he will definitely not say these things that are unfavorable to the current situation until he has a definite conclusion.
After all, it is only when everyone has no worries that they can exert 100% of the team's combat power, so that they can obtain the sacred tree and those barks with one heart.
Seeing that everyone had looked over and waited for his decision, the stone turned his mind and began to ponder.
After a while, the boy had an idea, and said, "Brother Certton, you just said that you and Brother Chico discovered that strange mountain peak and those people yesterday morning, that is, from the camp we are currently in, it will take a day and a night to reach the place where you said it is. ”
Kerton glanced at Chico, then said with a straight face, "Yes, it does take a day and a night, but it is also because of the weather, if the rain stops, the time should be reduced a little." ”
Hearing this, the stone nodded slightly, and said: "In this way, no matter what, it is better for us to take a break for the time being, after all, only in a good state can this trip have a chance of success, besides, we originally had to wait for others to compete for the fruit of the gods before we could enter the scope of the god tree post." ”
Stone's plan is actually very simple, first of all, Kerton and Chico, who have just returned, must be tired after a few days of continuous travel, and he is responsible for collecting intelligence, even if he is not in a hurry, he is not able to sit well, lie down well, so it is very necessary to let the two of them have a proper rest.
Secondly, there were the four of Erin, Golan, Lornell and Burr, who had been working all night yesterday to kill many of the staring birds, and before Kerton and Chico returned to camp, they were also in a state of meditation and rest.
It can be said that the current state of these four people is compared with Kelton and Chico. It's not much better. After all, it takes soul energy and soul power to hunt and kill a staring bird. In addition, it was a whole day and a night, which caused them to be listless at this time, and their whole body was weak.
However, the most important thing is the state of the stone itself, after many days of continuous soul energy overthrow, and the fact that he experienced a weapon rampage because of the failure of soul transformation just now. Although there is still a certain amount of soul energy in the body, if it can be restored to its full state, it is naturally a beautiful thing that cannot be sought.
For these reasons, and what the stone just said, he would wait for others to fight for the fruit of the gods before acting, so it was decided to let everyone rest for a while.
Naturally, everyone also understood the intention of the stone, and the state of the team was indeed not suitable for immediate action, so they found a vacant space in the wooden shed and began to meditate and rest.
And Hess, Navia, Bo Seven, and Berry, the four imps. Still the same as before, each found a place in the camp. The vigilance began again.
For a moment, the camp was suddenly quiet, if it weren't for the light rain still falling in the sky, and the roof of the shed that hit was sparse, then this place must be called peace and harmony.
Time passed quickly, and the eyes of the stone were closed and opened, and it was night, and at this time, a "bright pearl" for lighting had already been placed in the wooden shed.
The range of illumination that can be used for the "Bright Bead" is determined by the soul energy that the soul master has input into the bead, and at this time, the stone and the crowd are located on a flat ground deep in the mountains, so the Bright Bead only exerts a small amount of brightness, but does not completely exert its effect.
Besides, as long as it can illuminate a certain area and make the inside of the wooden shed visible, then it is already enough.
It didn't take long for the stone to open his eyes, as if to say yes, and the others also ended their recuperation, and at this time, everyone's faces were full of vitality and vigor, although they could not be said to be in their heyday, but they were much more energetic than during the day.
Seeing that everyone had woken up, Shi immediately made a decision and said to everyone, "I'll go and call the others back, everyone wait here for a while." The other people that Shi said at this time were Hess and the others who were in charge of vigilance, and since they were about to start acting, they naturally had to gather everyone and then set off together.
The kid got up immediately, but Lonel also stood up suddenly, he hurriedly waved his hand to stop the stone, and said, "My lord, you wait first." ”
Lornell's call made the stone stop and stand still, not knowing what it was going to do.
Without hesitation, after Lonell stood still, he immediately spoke: "Lord Stone, leave this matter to Burr to do, the position of the guard is chosen by him, let him go, and he can be more efficient." ”
For such trivial things, the stone will not have any objections, so he directly nodded in agreement, since someone is willing to run errands for himself, it is better.
Burr did not hesitate to get up decisively, jumped out of the hut, and disappeared to the edge of the camp in the face of a modest wind and rain.
Seeing Burr leaving, Lonell continued to say to the stone: "Lord Stone, just by taking advantage of this moment, we"
But before Lornell finished speaking, the stone hurriedly interrupted: "Brother Lornell, now that we have met, you don't have to call me an adult all the time, just call me Stone." ”
For the things on the title, the stone does not have a trace of obsessive-compulsive disorder, and it is not necessary to put on a shelf, so that an older uncle keeps calling himself an adult, and it always feels that something is wrong.
The stone is kind-hearted, but when Lonel heard it, he began to make a big fuss, and he said with a straight face: "It's not proper, it's absolutely inappropriate, if there is no extraordinary relationship between the soul master and the soul master, then you need to distinguish between the inferior and the inferior by the level of strength." ”
"If I call the adult's name directly, it is a disrespectful performance to the adult, and even an insult, and, hehehe, only the different names can better reflect the strength of the adult. ”
Lornell was speaking eloquently, feeling that if he didn't do so, he would have committed some unforgivable felony, but when he said this, the others present felt a little embarrassed.
It can be said that whether it is the two siblings Erin and Golan present, or the two mercenaries Kelton and Chico, or even Burr, who is close to Lornell, they directly call the stone by name, but according to Lornell's words, this becomes disrespectful to the stone, and even insults the stone.
Of course, everyone just thought that Lonell seemed to attach great importance to the things in the title, and did not deliberately want to target someone, so everyone only looked embarrassed on their faces and did not say anything.
It's a stone, after listening to Lonaire's remarks, he secretly said in his heart: "This Lonaire and Brother Oleer really have a fight, both of them attach great importance to these nothingness, and they both have the determination to dare not speak, which is really a headache." ”
Thinking of this, Shi could only wave his hand helplessly, and continued to say secretly: "It's really a dead brain, if you want to call it that, then call it that." ”
However, on the surface, the kid still said very politely: "Brother Lonell, did you have something to say to me just now?" (To be continued.) )
