Chapter 223: Choices and Plans
"Here, here......"
With An Ling's help, Rowan and Big Yellow Dog dug up a man covered in blood from the ruins of a building.
"It's Uncle Taka!"
"Uncle Taka, how are you?"
Looking at the uncle who was full of blood in front of him but still had a breath of air, Rowan was surprised and anxious.
"Sister, can you help him?"
Rowan anxiously turned back to the girls of the iris and asked for help. @*~~
"Let me see."
Hina stepped forward, only to see the holy light lingering and rising, resting on the chest of the villager uncle.
After a while, Sheena showed an unbearable and helpless expression on her face, shook her head, got up and lowered her body and said:
"I'm sorry Rowan, his guts are all cracked. Already....... β
A completely cracked internal organ is an irreparable injury, and if Sheena had enough mana, there might have been a chance to save it, but now there is nothing left of her magic to do.
"How so?"
Hear Sheena's words. Rowan was stunned, and then with a tear of tears, he shook the shoulder of the villager uncle like a madman.
"Uncle Taka, wake up! Wake up, Uncle Taka! β
"Ahem~"
The shaking villager uncle coughed a few times, spit out two mouthfuls of blood, opened his eyes with difficulty, and looked at Luo Wen.
"Don't shake Rowan, listen to me......"
He said with difficulty.
Luo Wen, who had been noisy, immediately quieted down obediently, and looked at the villager uncle aggrievedly with two big teary eyes.
I only heard the villager uncle say in a very difficult way on the verge of the extreme:
"Attack me, cough~ ours is, it's the Black Lizard Sand Pirates. But you don't think about it, think about revenge. Many of us died, but many others were looted by them. β
"They didn't take our belongings, but there was an underground compartment in the mayor's house, where our village savings were hidden. You ......"
"You use that money, find, find other people's help, taste, try to get other people out of the rescue. Or, or, take that money, don't do anything, and use that money to leave the desert......"
After speaking, the villager uncle did not look at Luo Wen, but put his eyes full of expectations on Maggie.
What he said just now may not have been meant for a naΓ―ve and ignorant child like Rowan.
Maggie couldn't stand the painful and hot gaze of the villager uncle, so she dodged and didn't look over.
The villager uncle suddenly coughed in pain and spat out a mouthful of blood. Then he closed his eyes and died in agony.
"Uncle Taka!"
Rowan shouted, lay on the top of the villager uncle and began to cry.
Sheena sighed reproachfully, bowed her head and folded her hands, and prayed in a low voice:
"May the light and the stars lead your soul......"
The night had covered the sky, and the town of Logan was quieter than ever in the light wind full of blood and sorrow.
The burial of the dead villagers continued until early in the morning.
Except for An Ling, everyone's face was tired and gloomy.
With Amy's help, Rowan found the secret compartment of the mayor's house and found a chest full of gold coins, according to the villagers' uncle.
The gold coins in it are the savings saved by the town's years of trading with traveling merchants, and it is definitely a lot of money, but it is not really a lot.
If one is given to leave the desert and survive outside, these gold coins are more than enough. But to do more important things, I'm afraid it will be very reluctant.
After getting this box of gold coins, Rowan did not hesitate to give all the money to Maggie, begging Maggie and the adventure group to rescue the villagers who had been captured by the black lizard killing group.
However, although Maggie pitied the plight of Logan's plight, she also wanted to help Rowan. But in the face of Luo Wen's request, she couldn't agree directly, but very solemnly held an internal meeting of the adventure group.
In the afternoon of that day, several girls who had barely rested and An Ling gathered together to discuss this matter.
"The reward is a total of five hundred and two gold coins, and the mission is to rescue the kidnapped villagers of Logan Town from the Black Lizard Sand Pirates. That's all.
Please express your opinions. β
Although the task was from a small child, Maggie opened the meeting in the most formal tone and tone.
This is no small matter, it is both dangerous for the current adventuring party and affects their search for this super adventurous goal of Karin's wand.
Making money has never been the main goal of the adventure group, and now to get the candidate for the brave, although it is cruel to the reality, but in fact, this task cannot be taken. Maggie couldn't make this callous decision directly, so she could only hold a small meeting within the group and conclude the matter with everyone's sane voices.
"Black Lizard Sand Pirates!"
Amy spoke first with a blank face, but instead of expressing her opinion, she introduced what she knew.
"The Black Lizard Sand Pirates are an extremely vicious group of thieves in the Grand Desert. He has always been known for being domineering and cruel. As far as I know, at least ten years ago, its leader, the Black Lizard, was a platinum eight-star magic powerhouse. There are three other platinum magicians in his group, and there are no less than twenty gold magicians. Its sand pirate force is no less than 1,000 people. At the same time, he has a lot of magical power. β
"Remember, this is what I knew about it ten years ago."
"Four platinums? One of the platinums that was already eight stars ten years ago? β
Talia was stunned.
"This, that's not something we can compete with, is it? Not to mention the fact that there are thousands of people wrong, more than twenty gold. How do you fight this? β
An Ling glanced at the red-haired girl beside her with a smile, and said curiously:
"Talia, you are scared sometimes?"
"How can this be called scary?"
Taria's eyes widened, and she shook her fist in dissatisfaction and said:
"I'm brave and fearless, but I'm not stupid, so disparity in power contrast, we can't afford to touch it!"
"But ......"
At this time, Sheena spoke up and said with a little nervousness:
"But our mission isn't to shake such a behemoth, right? All we need to do is get the people of Rogan out of their hands. β
"There are many ways to achieve this goal, and if you think about it, you may be able to do it."
Maggie blinked and asked Sheena:
"Sheena, you're supporting us in taking on the mission, right?"
Sheena paused, bowed her head and pondered for a while, then shook her head:
"Hmm...... If you ask me what I really think, I still don't support accepting this task. Because it's really too dangerous, and it's ......"
She glanced at Talia and said:
"And Talia's injuries to her feet have not healed, and we have considerable mobility problems, and we can't accept this task. @ βγ
