It was finally dawn.

It was only when Jonah saw the first rays of sunlight shining through the narrow window into room A51, illuminating the sleeping face of Sibbi in the next bed,—— that he realized that he had lost sleep.

He turned his head sideways and looked around. The unicorn stood in the center of the room, head bowed, and Elliot lay prone on the saddle sheath, letting out long breaths. Jekoon's bed was empty, and so was Ryuji's bed.

I heard the sound of Suosuo, it was the head of the room. Toba sat up slowly from his bed, which was too small for his size, quietly put a pair of big feet on the ground, put on his boots, put on his coat, and tiptoed out of the house.

His deliberately light-hearted movements still woke up the Rose Knight. Elliott and his unicorn opened their eyes at the same time, "Chief, it's still early, there's still an hour before the time to go. He straightened up, moved his joints slightly, and whispered.

"I want to go to the powerless and find out what is delicious. Toba replied in a whisper, glancing nervously in Jonah's direction, for fear of disturbing the astrologer's sleep. Jonah immediately closed his eyes and pretended to be asleep. "There should be a morning market in the underground food market today, I'm going to buy some ingredients and make a pot of porridge for the astrologer to drink, his body is too weak. ”

Elliot smiled, "Half an hour ago, Lord Jekong and Miss Dragon Queen had already set out to go shopping, and in order to let the head of the room sleep a little longer, they secretly took your money bag, Miss Dragon Queen asked us to say sorry for her." ”

Toba touched his waist and widened his eyes: "Why don't you call me!"

"Miss Long Ji specifically said that your snoring is a natural hypnotic drug, and it is the best adjunct treatment for all patients who lack rest. The Rose Knight blinked.

Toba rubbed his head, "Really? I haven't heard of it." ”

Elliott patted the unicorn on the neck, and the rider spun in place with a soft, feather-like step, pacing outside without making a sound. "Let's go to Mr. Hachime to update the information, and we'll trouble you here. The roommate's stay in the house has a big effect. He turned back to Toba, bowing his head slightly, and the unicorn crossed the threshold and left the room.

Toba was stunned for a while, and slapped his head: "That's right!"

He tiptoed back to his bed, sat on it, closed his eyes slightly, and snored in an even, rhythmic sound.

Sibi muttered something in his dream, smiled sweetly, rolled over, hugged the pillow tightly, and slept deeply.

Jonah closed his eyes and pretended to sleep, and his heart rippled with acid. He is just an insignificant little character in this troubled world, powerless to resist the torrent of fate, why did the Lord God give him such a wonderful companion and let him receive such an unrequited love?

Listening to Toba's snoring and thinking wildly, before he knew it, Jonah took a nap. When I opened my eyes again, the room was empty, and through the empty door, the Pitchfork team members were gathered outside and chatting about something.

Jonah got up slowly, overcoming the dizziness caused by weakness and lack of sleep, dressed up, and went out the door, "Master astrologer!" Seeing him, Toba immediately took off his hat and bent down, "Good morning!

"Hey dude, look at your two dark circles!" Sibby jumped over and touched Jonah's face.

The unicorn stretched out his head and sprinkled his soft mane on Jonah's shoulder, and the astrologer's apprentice reached out and stroked the rider's face affectionately, and smiled at the group, "I slept well! When are we leaving?"

Long Ji nodded at him, not talking. Jerkon still stood beside him like a bamboo pole, but there was a warm glow in his gray eyes.

"Departure after breakfast. ...... In view of your health, Lord Astrologer, we still recommend that you stay in Cherry Crossing. It's not an easy journey. The Rose Knight saluted and considered his words.

"You're weak, you're going to be held back!" Sippy said with a smile as he patted the new tenant on the shoulder.

Jonah squinted his eyes in the dazzling sunlight and patted the deerskin bag at his side: "Don't worry, I promise to keep up with everyone's footsteps, in addition, I made a lot of stones engraved with the 'Failed Streamer' of the Energy Storage Star Array before I fell unconscious, each of which can become a very powerful weapon, I believe I can play my part." ”

"Yes, yes, I know, I know, it's a beautiful firework!" Sibi clapped his hands, and was glared at by Long Ji, sticking out his tongue and not daring to speak.

Thoba rubbed his hands together and looked at Elliott, and the Rosenkavalier smiled helplessly and made an affirmative gesture.

"Then please be sure to pay attention to your safety, I am afraid that I will not be able to protect your lord when the time comes...... Let's have breakfast and breakfast, we have a famous saying in the mushroom farm: Eating a good breakfast is more important than eating a good lunch and eating a good dinner, if you don't eat more, where will you get the strength?" the head of the room changed the subject, bringing steaming porridge and wheat cakes from the stove in the back of the house.

Every room in Cherry Ferry is equipped with a simple marching stove, but A-class guests rarely cook their own food, and the high cost of accommodation makes them have to live on fast food, and cooking and dining are the most vulnerable moments, and no one wants to joke with their lives. However, the pitchfork squad, which is currently receiving the unprecedented VVVH-class unfixed mission of Cherry Ferry, has received unprecedented and comprehensive protection from the Cherrycross Protectors, so Toba can leisurely put the pot on the stove and steam temptingly, without worrying about the many saliva snoopers around him.

After tasting the porridge once, Jonah was no longer wary of this horrible food, he swallowed a spoonful and gave a thumbs up: "Yummy!"

Toba blushed and touched the back of his head: "The astrologer's praise is my greatest honor......"

Sibi, who was sitting on his shoulder, pouted and said: "Cut, that's because you haven't tasted authentic Bazeral cooking, and when the task is completed, after Sister Long Ji and Eli leave, I will take you to Yaviria Province to taste what is Bazelar cuisine, and thank me after you swallow your tongue, brother!"

"Eat. Long Ji said briefly. For some reason, Sibi always obeyed Long Ji's words, pouted, and obediently lowered his head and nibbled on wheat cakes.

Jonah glanced at the Rose Knight, "Another story. Elliot replied in a low voice.

Ryuhime glanced at them. The Oriental woman was obviously not in a good mood today, and her eyes were as sharp as a cold knife. The two men were honest about the food on their plates.

Breakfast was over quickly, "So, are you ready?" said Toba, packing up his dishes, clapping his hands, and announcing in his usual non-authoritative tone.

Elliott looked back at Jonah, who was riding with him, and Jonah nodded with his legs on the unicorn's back.

"Let's go. The Rose Knight confirmed.

The sun shines on the lush alluvial plains to the northwest on the other side of the holy river, and the deep blue sun hangs in the clear sky, and the golden sunlight is still sprinkled. It's another great weather for a trip.

Toba strode ahead with his long legs, Sibi staggered in front of him, Ryuki on the side, Elliott and Jonah in the middle of the group, followed by Jekong. The southerner, dressed in a rust-colored coat that had not changed for 10,000 years, stared into the distance with an expressionless face, his red hair fluttering in the wind.

As the team left the area of Cherry Ferry and stepped into the powerless area, Jonah watched the low shacks pass by, and suddenly wondered, could Mr. W be watching his daughter from somewhere? The haughty northern elves did not hide their feelings for Sibi very well, and now that he recalled that every time he met with Sibby, his eyes were clearly filled with deep attachment and bitter remorse,—— which was called "father".

A wide-brimmed top hat with feathers flashed out of the corner of his eye, and Jonah looked back to see Mr. W. Maybe it's a mistake, he thought.

This time the pace of the journey was obviously much faster than the last, and soon the dense vegetation gave way to the desolate black rocky landscape, and once again entered the dark canyon trail, and Jonah felt that the memory of the last trip to the Sucazar Canyon was a lifetime away.

"Do you need a break?" asked Toba, slowing down and looking back.

Elliot looked around at the crowd, turned to Jonah for advice, and replied, "No, let's continue, Chief." ”

"Understood. Toba's big boots rumbled over the rocks, leaving the road far behind. Sibi slipped up his shoulder, sat firmly, and swayed his legs: "Eli, where do you expect to meet the queen and the pursuers?"

The Rose Knight replied, "In the morning, Mr. Hachime's intelligence indicates that a team hired by the royalists led by Mr. Dan had set out yesterday night and headed along the canyon in the direction of Bazeral, with the mission of helping the two queens reach Cherry Ferry smoothly. This team was formed improvised, and it is currently the strongest force in Cherry Cross besides us, and its members include the Spiritual Warlock Hassarchin......"

"Warlockbreaker, trouble!" Sibby complained.

"Jeff Tower, Fallen Mage and Holder of the Moonhalo Mandala......"

"Magebreaker, trouble!" Sibby complained as well.

"Sigma the Thief Tree Serpent and the Power Releaser Omicron Cave Horse ......"

"Broken thief, broken releaser!, trouble is dead!" Sibbi grumbled again.

"Warrior Gwadar ......"

"Broken Warriors!, trouble is dead!" Sibbi grumbled repeatedly.

"That's all. Elliott concluded.

Tsibi gasped, "This combination should be stronger than us, right?V2 'Crumbs' team has been broken up?"

The Rose Knight nodded with a serious expression: "Mr. Dan found a loophole in the additional clause and completed this operation under Daddy's nose, spending a lot of money. The V2 squad was originally a mercenary army of old nobles and wealthy merchants, but Hasarchin and Gwadar were bought by Mr. Dan and disbanded...... In fact, it was Jeffta's one-man team, and of course it didn't exist. ”

Sibby's eyes widened and he didn't know what to say.

"What do you think, Eli?" Jonah asked behind him.

"We believe that although this team cannot compete head-on with the Zavi army, it can at least ensure that the queen's army will not be entangled by the enemy, after all, there are also the high-ranking knights of Bazelar to protect the queen, therefore, according to the previous intelligence analysis, we can encounter them before dusk today at the latest, and the place of battle is estimated to be in the Sukasa Gorge. Your Excellency the Astrologer. The Rose Knight replied.
