Chapter 141: Back to Reality

Seeing the blue sky again and breathing in the clean air, El's mood suddenly brightened. The weather is getting cooler in autumn, and the wheat fields on both sides of the road have begun to turn yellow, and it looks like they will be harvested in another month. This year's grain is growing well, and if there are no accidents, it will certainly be another bumper year. For the vast majority of civilians living in this world, this is the beauty they want to see most in their lives.

The Istaron exiles had finally left the cursed land and returned to the human world they knew, and after all the hardships they had endured, the children's faces finally showed a relaxed smile, but the wind and sand also left a mark of resilience on their faces.

For a whole day, El lay on the roof of the carriage, basking motionlessly in the sun, and the autumn sun was so abundant that he could not open his eyes, and he simply buried his head and fell asleep. This journey in the brown soil hills is already extremely difficult for ordinary people, and the responsibility on his shoulders is even heavier, and he has experienced many hard battles along the way, which can be said to be physically and mentally exhausting. He didn't want to think about anything now, he just wanted to lie down on the soft straw stack and rest quietly.

Lolana added another guest to his carriage, and Thomas, the gold-bearer, was given special privileges for his hidden status, allowing him to rest in the carriage during the day's journey, and to be treated with a cup of hot tea in the utmost luxury. But every now and then, the eldest lady will take the gray goblin family out of the car, and then let the kobold Apache take care of the driving, and Palanti will guard the carriage and kill anyone who sees anything suspicious.

When El rescued Thea, he didn't realize Thomas's hidden other identity, and it was only after being reminded by Lolana that he suddenly realized it. The purpose of his exchange for Roger's gold hand was only to take a fancy to his connections as a smuggler, and he thought that he might be able to help this guy a little after he left the brownland hills. However, Lolana clearly has a bigger goal, hoping to get information about the Truth Society from Thomas.

After escaping Istalen, both El and Lolana thought they had escaped the clutches of the Society of Truth, as the remaining orphans and widows were of no meaning to the mysterious and powerful Society of Truth. Male lions may hunt hares, but they are never interested in ant nests, at most they are just peeing. The distance between the two sides at the level of the food chain is too far away that there is no possibility of communication at all.

However, reality taught them a cruel lesson, and when Quezalas appeared, Lolana deeply realized the incomprehensible madness of the Truth Society, and its omnipresent tentacles. Since fate had arranged two unpleasant encounters, it would not be surprising that even a third encounter occurred. Just in case, Lolana decided to start digging deeper into the movements of the Truth Society.

In fact, when it comes to understanding the Truth Society, General Hank, as the commander of the Night Watch, is an internal member of the Truth Society, while Thomas, the gold pointer, only undertakes a task of transporting logistics supplies and can only be regarded as a supernumerary member. However, General Hank's concealment of Thomas's true identity is understandable, but it also reminds El that he cannot truly trust him. On the other hand, he has been stationed here for decades as the commander of the Night's Watch, and he really doesn't know much about the current internal situation of the Truth Society.

"So why do you think you can get information from me about the Truth Society?" Dian Jinshou shook his head, put down his teacup and smiled bitterly, "Miss Lorana, you should know what kind of organization the Truth Society is, they will only absorb talents with excellent talents, and a smuggler like me is just a small errand runner. Don't talk about them, even if you're an employer, you won't tell me about a businessman like me, right?"

On the contrary, I think a successful businessman must know his employer well, and you are clearly such a successful businessman. Lolana tilted her head and smiled, "Of course, I also know that this is indeed a bit difficult for the strong, so I only need you to be on the side of the Truth Society...... Ledger!"

"Ledger?" Thomas's eyes changed, he carefully looked at the girl sitting across from him, and a meaningful smile appeared on his face: "It's really disrespectful, I didn't expect Miss Lolana to be a colleague." ”

"An outsider would never know that for a businessman, the ledger is the most important source of information. Even if you've sworn a secret or signed a contract with the Truth Society, it has nothing to do with your ledger, because it means nothing to outsiders. Lolana whispered.

"As you said, only a truly successful businessman has the ability to get what he wants from a mere ledger. I admire how far your wisdom has been. Thomas looked at Lorana with a little respect and fear in his eyes.

"Your request is indeed reasonable, but ...... In the hurry of coming out this time, I didn't take the account with me. He groaned for a moment and said with some hesitation.

"Mr. Thomas, there is no need to detour between us, you are now our prisoner, and you are not qualified to negotiate terms. Luo Lana smiled lightly, showed the cute little tiger teeth at the corners of her mouth, and said in a low voice: "If you can correctly realize your current situation and put yourself in a clear position...... Then there is not necessarily no possibility of cooperation between us. ”

"Of course I know very well that you will not let me go. Thomas snorted coldly and said with a bitter face: "I already know that you will have a holiday with the truth, and you will not let me reveal the news to the truth society." ”

"I'm glad you're aware of this, but I must say that your mind isn't quite open yet. Lolana picked up the teapot, kindly refilled Thomas's hot water, and continued with a smile: "In fact, it is not that we have a holiday with the Truth Society, but that the Truth Society is going crazy on its own, and I think you have seen this with your own eyes. Why can't we let you go? Why should we be afraid that you will report to the Truth Society, and why don't we consider the benefits and losses before you show your allegiance to the Truth Society...... Yes, it is interests, we are all businessmen, and businessmen talk about integrity, never loyalty. ”

El gouged out his ears and turned over and buried his head in the straw, deliberately lowering his keen hearing. A black-hearted businessman lady is enough for him to have a headache, and now the two profiteers are together, and all that flows out of their mouths is jet-black venom, and they feel that their spirits will be polluted if they listen to it. Now that he knew Luo Lana's plan, he didn't have the heart to continue to pay attention to this matter. No matter how many madmen there were, there was no way they were really insane enough to line up to get him in trouble, so he decided to continue his rare vacation and relax his brain and muscles at the same time.

However, this kind of good wish was destined to be difficult to achieve, and it did not take long...... Or maybe a long time later, when El was already asleep, he was awakened from his dream by a sudden wave of magic around him. He struggled to open his eyes and glance at it, and saw a mirror erected in front of him. You don't have to guess to know that there will be no second person in this team who can use magic to connect with you.

"We received a reply from Churkin, who agreed to our request. Tiana's voice came from the other end of the mirror, the girl's voice low and soft, almost putting El back to sleep.

"Hmm...... Good news. El rubbed his eyes and replied in a daze.

"There's also bad news, according to the scout's report, there are a lot of displaced people ahead of us. According to the homeless, the plague has spread throughout the northern part of the kingdom of Oakrant, and now there is panic within the kingdom. Tiana's voice grew serious.

"Hmm...... Isn't that what we expected?" said El as he rolled over, his eyes closed, and he mumbled.

The plague plague broke out from the north, first sweeping through the seven northern counties led by the Timberwolf Ranstat family, but due to its remote location, it never received the attention of the upper echelons of the kingdom. When the plague crossed the natural barrier of the Yunlu Mountains, the entire northern region of the Oakland Kingdom was in danger.

Originally, with the power of the Temple of Life and the White Lion Family, the spread of the plague could be completely suppressed, even in the face of the mastermind behind the spread of the plague, he had the power to fight. But I didn't expect the Truth Society to sell its teammates at such a critical juncture. After the fall of Isttalon, the northern part of the kingdom of Oakland was like a gateway wide open, and there was no other force to stop the plague.

That's why El and Tiana decided to take a detour through the brownland hills. The harsh ecological environment along the way, although it caused a lot of losses to the exiles, successfully kept the plague behind. Even if it is a plague that represents death, there is no choice but to deal with the brown soil hills where birds don't poop and no grass grows.

"There's even worse news. Tiana was silent for a while, then lowered her voice and said,

"Hmm...... Hmm?Can we be more unlucky?The Truth Society's group of neurotics are coming to the door again?" El sat up, rubbing his head in pain. Tiana's words directly dispelled his sleepiness, he knew that the girl's character had always been strong, and if it was a trouble that she could solve by herself, she would definitely not use her own strength.

"I just got the exact news that our next destination, Sword Fort, has closed its gates and does not allow the homeless to enter. Tiana said.

"Uh...... Then kill them. Elman blurted out nonchalantly, having spent so much time in the brown hills that he had killed so many people that he had almost forgotten the rules of the civilized world.

"Good idea, but not viable. Tiana replied earnestly. Beechcraft Tip: How to quickly search for the books you're looking for
