66 Chapter 66
Although it is not safe to travel through the ruins of Granence at night, since neither Moller nor Urruti have the heart to kill the two dozen or so people trapped in the oasis, they must prepare for their own safety. Staying overnight near the oasis was not a wise choice - there were a dozen mages and an experienced mercenary group on the other side, and if they found a solution to the dilemma after a night, it would be their turn to settle the score.
Fortunately, there are pontoon ships that have been collected from the Fire Serpent Mercenary Group, and if they can float forward, at least they don't have to worry about the attack of the Earth Demon Scorpion.
This kind of magic item is very easy to operate, much easier than the magic flying carpet, Moller just glanced at the structure of the magic array, and knew how it operated, after his explanation, Urruti could get started, and Eriba could use it freely after two or three attempts.
The pontoon boat is not large, and under normal conditions it can only carry one person. Fortunately, Urruti is not too heavy to hold Rex, and Ereba and Moller's physique is also much smaller than that of the prime of life, and Eriba is carrying the injured Moller, and the two of them together are only afraid that they are lighter than the fat giant axeman of the Fire Serpent Mercenary Regiment, so they are not overloaded.
The pontoon will spew magical light and strong air currents from the bottom of the boat as it advances, and if the invisibility function is turned on, it can block the magical light, and when the group moves forward at full speed in the night, they only leave two slips of dust and sand on the desert that are stirred up by the wind.
There were no dangers along the way, and at dawn, they finally re-entered the territory of the Three-Eyed Tribe, and everyone relaxed when they saw the hot and bold Kunta patriarch again.
The Quinta patriarch saw at a glance that Mole was seriously wounded, so he strongly suggested that they should live in his tribe to recuperate, and Mole did the same, so he readily agreed.
That afternoon, Moller received news from the Quinta Patriarch that the men who worshiped the Mage Regiment and the Giant Eagle Mercenary Regiment had also left Granence - they were not eligible to enter the Three-Eyed Village, and could only pass through the woods on the edge of the territory and pay some tolls - and they left in a hurry, not thinking that the culprit who had led them into the trap lived inside the Three-Eyed Tribe, which had always been xenophobic!
At this time, the situation of McCann City was not clear, and Moeller would not rush back, so he cultivated in the room arranged by the Patriarch of Quinta, in addition to meditation and channeling magic, when he was fine, he would also make some simple potions to treat common diseases such as wind and cold, dysentery, etc., and give them to the people of the tribe.
The priest of the Three-Eyed tribe was a quiet young man, who had only taken over the priesthood after the death of the old priest two years earlier, and was said to be more capable than the old priest who taught him, and he also had the ability to heal, but more in the healing of external injuries - the ointment he gave to Moeller was miraculous, and in one night it completely cleared the two horrible scars on Moler's body.
It was also after talking to the young priestess that Moeller confirmed that he did not reject the use of magicians' potions to cure diseases, so he made potions and gave them away.
Rex finally woke up after a day and a night of sleep, and when he woke up, he shouted, "Brother Moller, I'm so hungry!"
Without Moeller's hands, a group of aunts and sisters in the Three-Eyed Clan kept sending delicious and home-brewed fruit wine, and Rex's stomach was like a bottomless pit, and he was hungry again after a while after he was full, and he could eat at least seven or eight meals a day, and he also ran to the toilet more than a dozen times.
Moeller saw that although he ate like this, and the absorption was normal, he never gained weight, so he confirmed his guess in his heart, and let him go.
Three days later, Moller received a summons from Madame Plume, knowing that the affairs of McCann were over, and planned to go with Uruti, leaving Ereba and Rex with the Three-Eyed Tribe.
Ereba has been learning archery with the hunters of the Three-Eyed Tribe for the past few days, and with his good skills, he quickly became one with everyone, and his archery skills have also improved a lot, and Rex's small clothes and pants are obviously a little short after three days of eating and drinking, and Moller does not want to take him to McCcan City to show the resourceful Lady Pleme any clues, so he simply leaves them both behind.
After a few days, McCann City completely changed, at least fifty well-equipped guards were stationed at the city gate, many of them were middle-level powerhouses, when Moller and Urruti approached, there were hundreds of bloody heads hanging on the city wall, most of the heads looked like the typical bright silver heads of the Earl of Weilan's family, but they were all adults, Moller looked at it carefully, and then walked through with a cold heart.
The guards were very strict, and even wanted Mole and Urruti to open the magic bag for them to check, but the young man who looked like the captain of the captain saw the appearance of Urruti and Moller, his eyes flashed, and he stopped his men and let the two of them in.
The city's once bustling streets were now deserted, not only were there not a single small traders, but even pedestrians were pitifully few, and many of the shops along the streets were closed, but there were many cavalry and wagons pulling goods passing by non-stop.
"It looks like it's a war!" said Urruti with some distraction, although as an orphan raised by orcs, he didn't have much feeling for this country that bullied his relatives, but as an ordinary person, he still couldn't help but feel a little apprehensive in the face of a war that would cause countless lives to be lost - especially since she played a little bit of a role in promoting the war.
Moeller also showed up all the way, but he was afraid that the change of ownership of McCann City had become the fuse for an all-out war between the Rose family and the royal family, and at this time, this geographically important city had become a transit point for the soldiers and supplies of the Rose family.
For the sake of convenience, and in order not to cause trouble for himself, Moeller's cooperation with Madame Pleme was very secretive, and this time they met again at the shoemaker's workshop.
"Congratulations on Madame on her ascension to the throne of the city!" said Moeller, smiling and congratulating Madame Pleme, whose face had not changed.
"This is thanks to the help of Mr. Moeller and the Warriors of Urruti. Madame Plumme smiled and invited them to sit down.
It was the first time Uruti had met the head of the Swan Lady Mage Regiment, the new Lord of McCann City, and it was hard to imagine that such a gentle and elegant lady would be the ultimate victor in overturning the Earl of Welan family's two-hundred-year rule over McCann City!
However, as a top mercenary, she has no fear of the powerful, as an excellent mercenary, one of the necessary abilities is to negotiate tasks with various magnates, bargain and ask for payment, so she is not polite, and after taking a seat, she asks straight to the point about the three rewards that Moeller said.
Lady Preme naturally can't repay the debt, she has just taken the position of the city lord, and it is the time to encircle all forces, mercenaries are one of the largest forces in the city, and it is not a good idea to offend a top mercenary by breaking her promise.
Urruti couldn't help but be overjoyed to see that her long-cherished wish had been fulfilled, no matter how calm she was. However, although Madame Pleme is willing to help borrow a large magic airship, the cost of maintaining the airship to fly to the distant land of cats is at least 30,000 gold coins - although this is much cheaper than buying a ship ticket, Uruti's savings are still not enough, and even if she has a reputation as a money-loving mercenary, she has only saved 20,000 gold coins in her ten years as a mercenary.
Faced with the shortfall of 10,000 gold coins, Urruti suddenly began to worry, and Mrs. Preme smiled when she saw this, and said, "I have another escort task of 1,000 gold coins here, and Miss Urruti will be able to solve the problem of shortage of funds by taking over this task." ”
"A thousand gold coins, it's only a tenth. Urruti is naturally very eager for a thousand gold coins, but even if she gets a thousand gold coins, she is still nine thousand, and she doesn't know when she will be able to save enough!
Madame Plumme smiled and said, "The destination of the mission is the city of Balembaton in the south, where the roads are inaccessible in times of war, and there must be a shortage of supplies in the north. ”
Uruti's eyes lit up, and he was already a little moved.
Madame Pleme then handed Moeller a handwritten letter from Mephistopheles. In the letter, Mephistopheles first expressed his high praise for Moller's achievements in helping Lady Preme seize the sovereignty of McCanne, and also sincerely affirmed his strength and his own vision, and in order to express his gratitude, he also enclosed a box of materials for the complete set of materials for the dragon scale armor......
In the letter, Mephistopheles also asked Moeller to visit the city of Barenbottom, and asked him to meet the Duke of Leiden, the lord of Barlumbottom, as an emissary. He said that although it was a thousand miles to Barlumbaton and it was very hard, he didn't like the bloodshed of war, and Balembottom, far from the flames of war, was a suitable place for Moller......
I have to say that Moller, who had just seen a string of heads on the city wall, felt that this mention was very intimate, and only thought about it for a while before agreeing.
Madame Pleme's task to Urruti was to escort the eldest daughter-in-law of Count Weyland, who had married Earl Weran's eldest son nine years earlier, and was the second daughter of Count Leiden, and because of this, she was able to survive, and Madame Pleme had to arrange for someone to escort her back to her parents' home.
Moeller's acceptance of Mephistopheles' offer was naturally tantamount to accepting Madame Plume's task, so he frowned and said, "The eldest son of Count Wehrand has already been executed, right?"
Madame Pleme understood what Moller meant, and said with a smile, "Don't worry, Madame Millen has no children with her husband, and she has three other people, and if any one of them had an accident, she would be sadder than her own husband's death—even if it was very limited!"
So this duke's daughter and her husband are in an open marriage, and they don't have much feeling, and they are a woman who is cold and selfish by nature?
Moller only felt that there was less trouble, while Urruti scoffed at the corrupt life of the aristocracy.
