Chapter Eighty-Seven: That's Why You Took Me

Li Yu asked Tom to bring the name of the person he brought with him, Redeo.

Reio was born into the Wettin family, but he was only fifteen years old, perhaps because he had been imprisoned in a dungeon, and he was very thin, with thin arms and legs, and was not as tall as his peers.

looks a little weak, but he has a bulging belly, and his voice is soft.

Tom didn't say anything, but the few lizardmen warriors on the team clearly didn't like the orc kid very much.

Reio is not a member of the Black Dog Guard, nor has he learned swordsmanship, so his combat ability is about equal to zero.

Considering the danger of the trip, bringing such a burden with you will undoubtedly further increase the risk of mission failure.

As soon as he joined the team, many outspoken lizardmen came to Tom to protest, and even suggested that Tom simply find a place to leave people on the way.

It wasn't until Tom told them that it was Li Yu's decision that the lizards quieted down and stopped making a fuss.

Tom then looked at Reodio and asked, "Do you know how to ride a horse?" ”

As if he hadn't seen the lizardmen pointing at him just now, Reio nodded calmly, "My father taught me when I was nine years old. ”

"Very well, you can go to Cinta and pick a horse you like, then go back to your lodgings and rest for the night, say goodbye to your father and mother, and we will set off at dawn the next day."

"My father and mother are dead." "I don't have to say goodbye to anyone, and I've already dug a graveyard for myself, paid my neighbor four silver coins, and if I don't get my body back, he'll bury my beloved flute in it." ”

"Uh...... It's always good to be prepared. Tom shrugged, "Anyway, welcome to the team, we'll be on our own when we leave the green." ”

"Saturday and Merlin the Prophet will guide us."

Tom had always thought that this was just a simple blessing, because the Hughes of the Church of Shuangxiu also liked to put it on their lips.

It wasn't until five days later that they disguised themselves as a caravan and came outside the city of Scale.

Tom sealed the weapons and all sorts of holy weapons with oilcloth and hid them in barrels, intending to sneak into the city.

But before he could put it into action, he received a bad news.

This is news from other caravans and travelers, since the cathars of High Priest Martina are about to arrive under the city of Scale, in order to prevent spies from sneaking into the city first, since two days ago, the city is no longer allowed to enter and exit freely.

Only those with a pass warrant issued by the Raimundi family or the Silvermoon Church are now allowed to pass through the city gates.

Tom was dumbfounded, if he couldn't enter the city before the cathars, then it would be even more impossible for High Priest Martina to surround the city of scales.

As for waiting until the end of the battle between the two sides, Tom didn't think about it at all, and the devil knows how long the cathars will besiege the city of Scales, and Clara will probably not survive that time.

But in the face of the towering city walls, Tom is also a little helpless now, and seeing that his captain is in a hurry, the lizardman warriors are also anxious, but Reio still looks the same as before.

After getting along with each other these days, Tom also found out that this kid was probably locked up for too long before, and his family was dead, his personality was a little gloomy, and his speech was quite poor.

exudes a temperament of "why is this world not over yet", just like a mushroom on a cloudy day, which makes people not want to approach.

However, Tom didn't want to get close to Rodeo, but Rodeo came to him.

Tell him to find a place where the terrain is relatively high, the surrounding area is open, and no one disturbs him.

"Is there a way for us to get into town?" Tom was shocked when he heard this.

But then I saw Reio shake his head and say, "No." ”

“………… Then why are you asking me to find you high ground? Tom asked.

"As I said, Saturday and Prophet Merlin will guide us, and since you have nothing to do on your side, Captain Jerry, of course you have to turn to Prophet Merlin."

"Merlin Prophet?" Tom wondered what was wrong with his ears, "Do you know how far away Prophet Merlin is from us?" It took us five days to get from the Green Fields to the city of Scales. ”

"You are a Black Dog Guard, and you should never doubt the Prophet's divine powers." Reio reminded.

"I don't doubt the Prophet's powers," Tom said, "I just don't know how else we can rely on Prophet Merlin when we're so far apart?" ”

"That's why the Prophet asked you to take me." "Let's go, I can put you in touch with the Prophet." ”

Tom was skeptical, but did as Redeo had told him, finding a hillside near Scales for him.

Reio looked around, looked up at the sky overhead, and lifted his clothes.

Tom realized that there was a package wrapped around Reo's lower abdomen, which seemed to be out of place with his size, and Roe Visual opened the package and carefully took out a black box from it.

In addition to this, there are all kinds of small parts hidden elsewhere on his body.

Under Tom's astonished gaze, ROE Visual expertly removed the small parts one by one, assembled them together, and then set up the antenna and debugged the machine.

Then began to utter the words, "O Saturday my lord, your faithful believers hereby plead that you may use your mystical electromagnetic power to make my call at this time reach the ears of the prophet Merlin across the mountains and rivers." ”

After Reio finished speaking, the only thing that answered him was a murmur.

Undeterred, however, Reio held out his thumb and little finger, pointing to the sky, and the other three fingers in one place, pointing to the ground, the most common prayer gesture in the Tsubasu religion.

Then he repeated the previous prayer over and over again.

About the seventh time a miracle happened, and another voice came from the black box, answering him.

"Ah, is it Reo, can you copy it?"

"I'm Roe Visual, Lord Prophet, and I can copy it, I can copy it." Reo's voice was also excited, even though he had practiced many times before, and even tried longer distances.

But every time he can successfully communicate, he still feels incredible.

Not only him, but Tom on the other side also widened his eyes.

It's not that he hasn't seen a holy weapon that can communicate in the air, after all, when he slayed the dragon before, Li Yu brought the radio walkie-talkie to the green field, and even Tom brought two for this operation to keep in touch with the team.

But ordinary walkie-talkies have a distance to use, let alone from Green Field to Scaly City, even if they patrol the territory of the Arias family, they can't hear the sound of the other side when they are far away.

Tom had no idea that one day he would hear a voice from Greenfield in Scaly City.

It should be a change today, and I have been checking the information for too long, and the code word has not been checked for more time ~ kneeling.
