Chapter 21: Actually, I'm a zombie
Five days later, nearly 600 kilometers from the Citadel of Visaldo, outside the city of Sumenassas, which had been abandoned for hundreds of years, because of the existence of the festering crypt of Sumenassas, the land of the undead.
The three rutted carriages came in the direction of Vesaldo, and slowly stopped at the chorus of the coachmen.
More than a dozen mercenaries wearing simple leather armor or metal chain mail, who almost carved "I am a mercenary" on the door of their heads, jumped down from both sides of the doors of each carriage and the back and forth of the royal hand, they spread out and carefully passed around to make sure that there were no predators and evil beasts, and the closed doors of the three carriages finally opened slowly.
"It's a painful trip that almost breaks people's bones!"
While muttering such complaints, Luo Wei, who was dressed in all kinds of fine magical equipment, jumped out of the carriage in the middle.
However, after complaining, Rowe turned around again, and greeted Catherway, who was decorated with various colorful magic ornaments, and got out of the carriage.
At the same time, two foot knights of different sizes in full armor and an archer wrapped in white cloth and a ghost face also jumped out of the two carriages in front and behind, and the three of them had the same characteristic - their eyes shone with a dark green color.
There is no doubt that these so-called infantry knights and ghost-faced archers are the three mighty corpse servants of Luo Wei.
"Mr. Rovi, this is the ruined city of Sumenas, according to the mercenary escort agreement you signed with us, escort you and your servants here, and our Bronze Dragon Mercenary Group will complete the task specified in the contract. β
A bearded man with a broad-edged sword on his back. walked up to Luo Wei and said to Luo Wei respectfully.
"Hmm. It's been a hard work for you along the way. Luo Wei nodded at the bearded man. He tossed a bulging money bag to the other party: "I admit that you have strictly followed the mercenary agreement. β
The bearded man opened the money bag, and began to tap the golden gold coins in the money bag in front of Luo Wei, but when he counted half of it, his face changed slightly: "Mr. Luo Wei, did you give the wrong money bag?" This bag of gold coins ......
"This bag of gold coins contains thirty more coins. Luo Wei interrupted the bearded mercenary, and he smiled and said, "The extra twenty are a small amount of money for everyone to buy new boots." So you don't need to worry about anything, because I'm very satisfied with the service of your mercenary group. β
Hearing this, before the bearded man could say anything, the mercenaries who were scattered around the guard cheered together-
In this mercenary mission, the Bronze Dragon Mercenary Group sent a total of fifteen mercenaries, and the reward for the task was sixty gold gaytons for the whole journey.
Originally, after deducting the mercenary group's reserve fund, each mercenary could basically get a reward of one and a half gold Gadon for this trip, and it was already very happy that this kind of mercenary mission with no risk could get so much reward, but I didn't expect to be at this destination now. The escorted Luo Wei gave away an extra thirty gold coins, so that no one could get at least one gold coin. No matter how you think about it, you need to express the joy in your heart with cheers, right?
"Thank you very much for your generosity!" After making sure that Luo Wei was not joking, the bearded strong mercenary hesitated slightly, and then calmly accepted Luo Wei's additional gift, and said in a heartfelt tone: "Mr. Luo Wei, the Bronze Dragon Mercenary Group is looking forward to cooperating with you next time." β
"If there is a chance in the future, I will. β
Luo Wei replied.
"Then......" The bearded strong mercenary put his legs together and bowed to Luo Wei: "I wish you all the best, Mr. Luo Wei, and say goodbye at the inferior level!"
"I wish you all the best, Mr. Rowe!"
The other mercenaries also shouted.
After Luo Wei also said goodbye, the mercenary team that sent Luo Wei from the Visaldo Castle to the ruined city of Sumenass after six days of nearly 600 miles, turned the carriage and disappeared like a storm in a moment.
"Rovi, are we really going to the festering crypt of Sumenassas you mentioned?"
When the carriage of the Bronze Dragon Mercenary Group was far away, Catherway asked Luo Wei like this.
Catherway's reason for asking this question is to go back to that night six days ago-
That night, after throwing more than 2 million yuan and completing a crazy purchase, Luo Wei temporarily deposited the last hundreds of thousands of gold coins in the Fendan Kos magic props store.
Then Rowe instructed Mrs. Anna to find pen and paper, and spent half an hour writing a long letter, and after the letter was put into the envelope and sealed, Rowe wrote on the envelope, "Felicia Snod receiving".
"Lady Anna, please help me send this letter to any temple of radiance and let the temple people help deliver it to the headquarters of the Night Watcher. β
Luo Wei handed the sealed letter to Lady Anna.
"Deliver the letter to the headquarters of the Nightwatch......er?
Lady Anna took the letter, and she began to rummage through her memory, trying to find the "Felicia Snood" on the envelope, but she undoubtedly failed.
At this time, Luo Wei took the initiative to take out his bluffing badge of the Holy White Night and showed it to Lady Anna.
"Felicia's child, who grew up with me, is now training at the White Night Watch headquarters, and it shouldn't be a few years before she becomes an official Knight of Glory. β
In a conspicuous tone, Luo Wei told an out-and-out lie.
Brilliant Knight?!
Lady Anna gasped, she certainly knew what the Brilliant Knight meant.
"Luckily, I'm not too bad, and my magic mentor is also an eight-...... Well, anyway, I'm going to trouble you, Madame Anna, for I must make a trip to the ruined city of Sumenas to investigate something. β
Luo Wei did not let Lady Anna go, but told a lie with his face half-covered by the pipa.
Madame Anna is very smart, otherwise she would not have been able to sit in the position of the "manager" of the Visaldo branch of the Fendankos magic prop shop, but smart people always think too much. So she easily made up all the false information that Luo Wei wanted to pass on to her-
Luo Wei's childhood sweetheart. That is, Felicia is a highly gifted apprentice brilliant knight. This is evidenced by the Holy White Night badge displayed by Rovi. And Luo Wei himself is not bad, because he has a powerful eight-ring necromancer teacher, so Luo Wei will have the Ring of Naraku.
And Rowe, who released these fake news, of course, is talking nonsense without any purpose, and he has only one purpose - to prevent Mrs. Anna from eating black when she sees money.
In fact, this is also the most important reason why Luo Wei will throw away two million gold gatons to maximize his combat power, and he directly wears all the magic equipment on his body after he buys it. All of them made it as difficult as possible for Lady Anna to eat black, and forced her to finally give up this evil idea.
This is not to say that Mrs. Anna really has this plan to eat black, but it is just a precautionary measure that Rowe does not want to give birth to such a plan. The heart of guarding against people is indispensable, and how dangerous the human heart can be, Luo Wei, a former forensic doctor, is far more experienced than ordinary people.
Rovi's words may have helped, because Mrs. Anna happily accepted the errand to deliver the letter for Rovi, and then according to Rovi's request, after dawn, she found the most reliable mercenary group in the city of Vesaldo, that is, the task was perfectly completed and sent Rovi to the bronze dragon mercenary group on the edge of the ruined city of Sumenas.
Before parting. Rowe gave the silver necklace that could unleash healing spells to Cynthia, who had been with him all night at the Fendankos magic shop. and asked Cynthia to hand over the spiked shield to Sacradin.
Then, returning to the Wizards' Guild to pick up Catherway and the three undead minions, Rowe set out on a wild journey in a bumpy carriage.
After six days of peaceful suffering, Rowe finally arrived at the ruined city of Sumenas, and then there was the scene ahead.
The six days spent on the road are not only equivalent to Luo Wei reading books for six days in a row, making up for all kinds of useful knowledge, but also means that Luo Wei has relied on the bone card to achieve a three-month journey of the living, and finally came to an end.
If nothing happens, after dark tonight, Rowe will be transformed from a living person back into a zombie.
Luo Wei felt that an accident was unlikely, because he could clearly feel that the life force in his body was about to be exhausted.
To be honest, Luo Wei is quite nostalgic, he prefers to live as a living person compared to zombies, but ...... Nine times out of ten, life is unsatisfactory, how can a thief ever do everything to fulfill people's wishes?
So, after Catherway asked the question of whether she really wanted to go to the festering crypt of Sumenassas, Rowe replied with a rhetorical question.
"Catherway, remember what I said to you in that broken carriage before crossing the Ingush River?"
Luo Wei asked rhetorically.
"When, of course I rememberβ"
Catherway hung her head shyly, apparently thinking that Rowe was talking about the one who was going to renew her relationship.
Luo Wei knew in his heart that Catherway had misunderstood, but he did not point out Catherway's misunderstanding, but smiled and gently took Catherway's cold little hand.
"How did it feel on the day you were resurrected?"
Luo Wei, who was holding Catherway's hand, asked softly.
"It's good, I can breathe, I can sleep, I can eat or something, it's like, it's like a dream. β
Catherway replied, her tone tinged with a hint of reluctance.
"Do you remember when I was in the deserted Green Hill Manor, and I told you that day that I had just woken up that day, and I had slept for a hundred years?"
Rowe could understand Catherway's thoughts, for he could relate to the feeling, but he was quick to ask again.
"Remember, for the sake of the time, you and Evillio's child quarreled like two children. By the way, Evillio hasn't come out to see us for a long time, could it be that the carriage is running too fast these days, and he hasn't kept up, right?"
Catherway's face was filled with a knowing smile.
"In fact, while crossing the Ingush River, Evillio separated from us, solemnly entrusted you to me, and went somewhere else to do what he wanted. β
Rowe finally thinks about Catherway and confesses to Evillio's whereabouts.
Perhaps thinking of this possibility a long time ago, Catherway looked at Luo Wei and asked in a low voice after being silent for a while: "Evillio has been with us for a hundred years, so it's normal to want to go out for a walk...... Right?"
"When the eagle has hardened its wings, it longs to fly freely on its own, and sooner or later it will turn this idea into reality. β
Rowe replied with such an analogy, and Catherway was silent for a few more moments, then finally looked up at Rovi and finally nodded.
"Okay Catherway, I'm going to tell you something else, I guess you may not be able to accept it, but it's true-" Luo Wei looked solemn, and then said to Catherway solemnly, "Actually, I'm a zombie. (To be continued......)
