Chapter 81: The Road
The next morning, Aaron had a regular breakfast at the inn, and then went to see Chris to see how he had decided and whether he had accepted his employment. If you refuse, then you have to go to Andrew to reintroduce a mercenary group.
As soon as he walked to the mansion where Chris lived, he saw him walk out head-on, and when Chris saw Aaron, he immediately walked up quickly to greet him, and greeted him with a smile: "Master Aaron, what a coincidence, I was just going to look for you." ”
"Looks like your Hurricane Mercenaries have already made a decision!" Aaron nodded slightly at Chris.
"Yes, I gathered all the members of the group last evening, and after some discussion, I decided to accept your employment according to the commission price given yesterday. Chris affirmed.
Before going back yesterday, Aaron had already said the commission price for hiring them, the total reward for completing the task was an intermediate magic crystal, and half of it was paid in advance, if calculated according to the ratio of magic crystals and gold coins here, that is, 5,000 gold coins.
I have to say that the price given by Aaron is already very high, an escort mission is equivalent to a commission of 5000 gold coins, which can be regarded as the price of a big task, and this is only as a reward for an escort mission, which is extremely rare in similar tasks.
The other members of the Hurricane Mercenary Regiment had just returned from a mission, and according to convention, they would have to rest for at least a month or two before taking on the mission again, but this time, the high commission made them all give up the idea of resting.
"By the way, Master Aaron, when are we going to leave?" Chris asked again.
"We'll leave tomorrow, you tell the other members of the group to hurry up and prepare, and we will leave early tomorrow morning, don't delay the time......" The question of the time of departure, Aaron had already decided last night, no matter whether the Hurricane Mercenary Group finally accepted the hire or not, it would be tomorrow, and he didn't want to waste too much time here.
"No problem, I'll let you know later, I wonder if you have any other special requests, such as food and drinks?"
"It doesn't matter if it's food, I don't have any special requirements, but if you want to find a large carriage, at least two ordinary carriages of about the same size, I have a special use. Aaron thought for a moment, then commanded.
Asked Chris to prepare the large carriage in order to have enough space to put the real yàn equipment, so that he could carry out some real yàn in the carriage, as for food and drink, Aaron did not have any special needs, anyway, most of the time was spent with nutritional drugs, saving meal time.
After some discussion, Aaron leaves and Chris immediately runs to inform the other members that they are ready to go.
After leaving, Aaron went to the city to buy some things, mostly practical utensils and ordinary materials, to be moved to the carriage tomorrow.
Soon, the day passed.
Early in the morning, Chris drove the carriage to pick up Aaron, followed by four members on horseback, and together, the entire mercenary group had a total of five people, just a small mercenary group.
Although there are not many people, all of them are veterans and have more experience, and the youngest of them is twenty-seven or eighteen years old, unlike some mercenary groups, they are all young people in their early twenties, and they know at a glance that they have just been formed, and they are not very experienced.
"Master Aaron, we are all here, this is the deputy head of the regiment, this is the ......" Seeing Aaron, Chris briefly introduced him to the other members of the mercenary group.
"It seems that Chris is the Great Sword Master, and the others are the deputy head of the group, Rango, who is good, and the other three are more average. Looking at the other members of the Hurricane Mercenary Regiment, Aaron had a general idea of the overall strength of the team.
As the head of the group, Chris is naturally the strongest person in the team, and all the physical elements have reached more than 10 points, according to Aaron's understanding of the Great Sword Master, as long as the three values of the body exceed 10 points, he belongs to the ranks of the Great Sword Master.
Obviously, that's exactly what Chris is. Among the remaining four, only the deputy head is closest to Chris, but he is still a little short of the Great Sword Master, the other three are obviously inferior to the deputy head of the group, and the youngest one is the worst.
It doesn't matter how strong the Hurricane Mercenary Regiment is, this time it's just going to Tamira City, not to fight, and there are not many requirements in this regard, as long as they can reach their destination quickly and smoothly.
After asking the Hurricane Mercenaries to help carry everything onto the carriage, Aaron also entered the carriage, and then the convoy slowly moved towards the direction of Tamira City.
Not long after the convoy left Ark City, Heim slowly followed the convoy, keeping a certain distance.
In the carriage, Aaron carefully cut a small corner from the burning gem, half the size of the nail of his little finger, cut off this small piece, put it in a vessel, and then used the flame to burn it.
When a small piece of burning gem that had been cut out came into contact with the flame, it did not burn all at once, but was burned for a long time before it was gradually ignited, and a deep red flame appeared, and then the whole piece burst into flames.
When burning, only the flame is darker, there is nothing special about it, and there is no sound or movement.
"I don't know if it's really the same as the information says, it can continue to burn for decades!" Looking at the burning burning gems, Aaron was very curious about the description on the data, and this time he cut off a small piece to verify whether it was true or not.
Of course, he didn't want to wait until it burned completely, he only needed to burn it for a few months, and then extinguish it, and let the chip calculate the amount of gems consumed during this time, which would almost be able to calculate the total burning time.
After observing for a while, Aaron put the burning gem aside and began to sort out some real equipment to prepare for the next one.
After setting up the real equipment, Aaron took out a glass bottle, which contained a slowly beating heart, the same one that had been dug up from the blood man earlier. Nearly ten days have passed since the last time the heart was dug out, but the heart has been able to stay alive and not stop beating.
Just two days ago, Aaron noticed that his heart was beating slower than before, and later after an attempt, he found that just by soaking his heart in the blood for a period of time, it would return to its original beating speed.
Aaron was very interested in this heart, which could continue to beat after being three-dimensional, and had long listed it as a key object.
Time passed very quickly, Aaron was concentrating on his research, and suddenly felt the carriage stop, and then Chris's request came: "Master Aaron, it's getting dark now, I'll set up camp and rest, and I'll leave tomorrow morning, what do you think?"
"It's getting dark so soon!" Aaron was a little surprised, feeling that time was passing a little quickly. "Okay, just camp and rest on the spot as you say, and besides, don't prepare my portion for dinner, and don't disturb me. ”
"As you wish. ”
"Oh, I almost remember! We were followed by a strange black creature along the way, and I tried a few times before but couldn't get rid of it, so I had to report it to you. Rex continued.
Don't think about it, Aaron also knew that Chris was talking about Heim, so he said casually: "Don't worry about it, just let it follow all the time, it's just one of my pets." ”
"No problem!" said Chris, and stepped back to give orders about the camp.
In this way, Aaron stayed in the carriage for several days, spending most of his energy on the heart of the blood clan and the alchemical notes for making the banshee veil. The materials used to make the banshee veil are relatively high-end, and Aaron doesn't have any of them at the moment, and he has bought a lot of ordinary materials before, just hoping to find some materials that can be used as a substitute.
There are material records of Pascal's defective products in the notes, which are very helpful to Aaron, at least you can avoid a lot of detours, as long as you let the chip analyze and select according to the material characteristics recorded in the notes, you can reduce the actual range to the lowest extent.
Unconsciously, 165 days have passed since the time of departure, and Aaron has almost arrived at the destination of Tamira City, escorted by the Hurricane Mercenary Group, nothing has happened along the way, and it seems that he will arrive almost half a month in advance.
During this period, Aaron rarely left the carriage, and basically hid in it every day for a real yàn test, and occasionally held it for too long before he came out to breathe. Of course, daily meditation every day is essential, and after this period of meditation, his mental power has probably increased by nearly 2 points, and his current spiritual power has just reached 18 points.
The Burning Gem had been extinguished by Aaron a few days earlier, and judging from the fact that this thing had been burning for a few months, it was true that it could continue to burn for decades.
However, there is no progress in the replacement materials of the Banshee Veil, mainly because there are too few types of materials, and the information in the database is not rich enough, and it is hoped that it will be larger after further collecting various materials and materials in the future.
As for the research of the blood heart, Aaron has not made much progress for the time being, but during the preparation of the zuò potion, it was discovered that the mutant thorn vine has a harmonizing effect on some potions and has a strengthening effect.
"Master Aaron, the city of Tamira is two miles ahead, and we are almost there. Aaron was in the carriage when suddenly Chris's report came.
"It's finally here!"
As soon as he heard this, Aaron immediately put down his things, leaned against the car window, and poked his head out to look ahead. In the field of vision, a magnificent city appeared on the horizon in the distance, and the momentum was extraordinary.
