Chapter 0170 - Escort Mission
Nock has been lying in bed for two days, and the "Holy Light Redemption" can even be reborn with a severed limb, so it is naturally not a problem to make up for the physical deficit.
However, in order to hide from the world, he still lay in bed for two days.
When Father Molière left Maple Leaf again, Nock took Leo with him, packed his bags, and sneaked out of the church.
As early as the day before, Nock had filmed Leo to inform Freya that she should go to the Adventurers' Guild to issue a silver-level escort mission. Escort the saplings of Danfeng Bailu back to the royal capital.
Leo had already secretly taken on the task yesterday and did not make any noise.
Freya's convoy was ready early in the morning.
The route has also been set a long time ago.
So as soon as Nock and the two arrived, Freya gave the order to set off.
Along the way, you need to pass through no less than 30 large and small towns, and it takes almost two months.
Of course, it is also possible to take the west side, then take the sea route north along the coastline by sea boat, go directly to the northern port, and then turn east to Pali.
However, in the spring, there is still ice floes on the sea route, and it is easy to run into the reef and the speed is slow. On the contrary, it is not as fast as the land route.
In addition, the saplings needed to be watered from time to time, and it was impossible to do it by sea, so this route was naturally canceled.
Therefore, the most suitable route is the more difficult overland route.
Walk north along the Garner, through the Gorge Fortress, into the Dokosom Mountains, into the Dokoso hill town, divert to Felien, enter the plain and walk twenty francs north to see the end of the Seine.
Continuing north along the Seine, you will meet the city of Vatio, the terminus of the Seine.
Take a boat north from Vatio City to the ferry port in Pali!
From there, disembark and continue north for three distances, which is the royal capital of Pali.
This is the perfect route for saplings that need to be watered frequently.
Except for a brief scarcity in the mountain town of Docoso, there will be no shortage of water along the way.
Whether it is the Ghana River or the Seine River, there is no shortage of water at this time, and even because the flood season is approaching, the river is very well watered.
Perhaps the team also has a headache about how to prevent excessive rainfall from causing the saplings to draw too much water and waterlog.
All in all, the route is ready-made.
The team is ready-made, and the carriage is still ready-made!
The carriage and the troop, prepared by the mayor of the town, were registered with the adventurer's guild as a rank-free mission, along with the seedlings of the red maple dew.
The difficulty is not high, but the task time is too long, and it takes almost half a year to go back and forth.
As a result, what was supposed to be a silver-level escort mission became a non-level escort mission, which paid well, attracting many adventurers and adventure teams to sign up.
In the end, Jon felt that lone adventurers were not good for management, so he decided to ask for an adventure party of thirty people and two adventure teams. All are bronze-level.
The party is "Black Bear", and the team is "Lark" and "Unicorn".
The Black Bear Adventure Party is responsible for the safety of the team, while the lark and unicorn teams are responsible for transporting and protecting the saplings.
The convoy was only responsible for protecting Madame Freya's carriage.
In addition to these personnel, the team also hired two chefs with high salaries to accompany them, both from Maple Town.
Then, there was Nock and Leo, who got into the carriage.
The difference, though, is that Nock gets into the luxurious carriage that Freya and Charlotte are riding.
Leo rode in a horse-drawn carriage that transported daily necessities.
When a team travels far away, in addition to goods and personnel, it is naturally the most important thing to live in.
But for Freya and her team, the goods are important, but the food is even more important.
Therefore, it is understandable that Leo, as the strongest person in the team, guards the lifeblood of the team.
At least, that's the reason Freya gave.
As soon as Nock got into the car, he was "dizzy" and naturally agreed with this statement.
So, Leo was ordered by Nock to go to the wagon that hauled the food.
The wagon that hauled food was repurposed from a wagon that hauled goods, but it was reinforced and heightened around the perimeter, and the roof was also covered.
It was full of dense food, and the taste was a little cloudy.
Fortunately, the carriage is not closed, otherwise Leo really wouldn't want to play this scene.
In short, Nock laughs and laughs in the luxury carriage, and Leo has nothing to do in the supply cart.
The other mercenaries and guards did not dare to complain.
Especially the members of the "larks" and "unicorns", they all carry the safety of the sapling carriage.
All the members of the "Unicorn Fairy" are men, and they are all hunters.
Therefore, he took on the heavy responsibility of driving a car as a coachman, although he became a coachman, but the bow and arrow did not leave his hand, and if something really happened, the coachman standing on the carriage would become a sniper.
Most of the members of the "lark" are women, because the captain and the vice-captain are a pair of sisters, and there are naturally many female adventurers under their hands.
The most important thing is that the members of the lark, in addition to their tanned skin, are not bad.
Even the appearance of the sister flower captain can be called a "beauty".
They are responsible for watering the saplings and looking after their survival.
However, in the past few days, the work of going to the river to fetch water has been robbed by other men.
These men are members of the "Black Bear" adventure group, as well as members of the "Unicorn".
If it weren't for their carelessness and inability to do fine work, I'm afraid they might even finish the watering work for the female members of the "lark".
There is no way, whoever makes the whole team, they are women.
Everyone else is men.
Originally, the team would not have been so unbearable.
It's just that there is a movement in the luxurious carriage in front of you that makes people blush and warm their ears every day.
This makes adventurers who are preparing for a two-month journey how to survive!
The men did not dare to fight the idea of the nobility, so they naturally set their sights on the female adventurers in the team.
Fortunately, the men were quite rational and knew that they could not destroy the harmony of the team, so they did not play any overlord with a bow.
Instead, it relies on pleasing female adventurers in exchange for the opportunity to kiss Fangze.
They are all adventurers who lick blood on the knife edge, and they are already under a lot of pressure.
Both men and women, after listening to the "noise" for a few days, their hearts are ready to move.
Therefore, it is not only the men of the team who miss women, but also the women who miss men.
Fortunately, the captain of the "lark" was quite sober and warned the members of the team not to mess around.
Even if you want to drill into the woods, you must stop in moderation and don't make trouble until you don't have the strength to go on the road the next day.
In this way, a good escort team, the painting style has become smoky.
Even Freya's bodyguards occasionally hid into the woods with female adventurers.
Both Nock and Freya know this.
However, neither of them stopped this behavior, and even Nock vaguely felt that it was the result of Freya's deliberate indulgence.
Although he rides in the same carriage with Freya and Charlotte these days, he doesn't have the pleasures he has every day as adventurers out there think.
Although it was inevitable to move hands and feet, there was no real battle.
Nock is not stupid, this is the wild, the wild where unexpected situations can occur at any time, exhausting yourself and making your hands and feet soft?
What's the difference between that and looking for death.
It's just that the two women didn't intend to let him go, and they kept confusing him intentionally or unintentionally, wanting to continue to talk from him.
Nock just accompanies the two of them to act, occasionally subduing two abrasive goblins with his hands.
Every time the two goblins wanted to play for real, Nock always refused on the grounds that it was unsafe in the wild.
However, when the party entered the villages and towns, Nock was inevitably sacrificed and slept with the two of them.
Therefore, Nock admits that the ethos of the team is somewhat influenced by him, but not much, just a little.
In this way, all the way north, the team walked for two weeks.
It passes through two towns and three villages.
Supplied food in the village and repaired the wagons in the town.
The trip was much slower than expected.
However, the group didn't pay much attention to it, but were very satisfied with this journey.
In particular, after the female members of "Lark" gradually let go, the atmosphere of the team was obviously high.
But the combat effectiveness has also decreased significantly, which is seen by Leo, who has been idle.
During this period, it was not that there were no female players of the "lark" who wanted to hook up with Leo.
It's just that Leo is a bit picky.
He didn't mind if the woman had another man, but he didn't mind if there were other men when the woman was with him.
Although he could understand the reason why these female adventurers were so indulgent, it didn't mean that he could accept it.
The reason why these women indulge is not only to release their inner pressure, but also to protect themselves.
After all, they have been targeted by so many male adventurers, and I really don't give them any sweetness, but I'm afraid that the team is really going to be chaotic.
When the time comes, the "black bear" and the "unicorn" will besiege them, and presumably the employer will not care.
After all, even if there is no "lark", the rest of the people will be enough to complete the task of guarding.
As for whether the "Black Bear" and the "Unicorn" will take action against their employers after besieging the "lark", there is no need to worry about this.
The laws of the kingdom and the punishment of the adventurers' guild are not something they can bear.
Commoners killing nobles are complicit in the crime, which is a great crime of extermination.
If no one knows, kill it.
But this kind of escort task that has been registered kills the employer, hehe, even a saint-level powerhouse doesn't dare to do it.
However, if you kill the adventurers of the same team with the tacit consent of your employer, there are many more places where you can operate.
The aristocracy does not care whether the commoners live or die.
As long as it doesn't threaten them, they will definitely turn a blind eye to this kind of thing.
Even, if "Black Bear" and others take refuge in the aristocracy, they can still get the protection of the nobles.
Blaming the death of the "lark" on an accidental death during the mission, or an accident due to lack of strength, etc., can completely prevaricate the union.
Without evidence, even the unions will not punish them, even if they are suspicious.
Therefore, the behavior of lark members is purely for self-preservation.
Leo can understand it, but he can't.
After all, in his opinion, if they don't want to, they can find a reason to quit when they enter the town, and then find a nearby adventurer union to quit the mission.
They have a task in their hands to receive the voucher.
Trying to quit a mission is just a loss of money.
But these people do not quit, but protect themselves in this way, which means that it is their own choice.
How could Leo take a fancy to them?
On the contrary, it is the sister flower of the "lark" that has not been involved, which is intriguing.
After all, the top management of "Black Bear" and the captain of "Unicorn" have not expressed interest in the sisters.
One night, Leo even discovered that the sisters had been blocked in the woods by several of the "Black Bears".
Obviously, it was going to be rough, but in the end, it didn't work.
This made Leo very confused.
However, although Leo was puzzled, he would not go out of his way to investigate these things.
All he had to do was take care of his own safety and Nock's.
Although the three Nocks stayed in the carriage almost all day.
However, when the team is resting and cooking, and when camping in the evening, they will meet Leo.
Leo has access to Nock's message every day.
Leo will also quietly pass on the information he has every day to Nock.
There is no peace along the way, only that there is no major danger.
Rogue thieves have not been encountered, but small monsters have encountered quite a few.
On one occasion, I even encountered a herd of migrating beasts.
Several heads were hunted by the team for food.
It's just that after camping today, Leo, who was taking a walk after cooking, felt that the atmosphere was a little wrong.
Except for the adventurers on night duty, most of them actually went into the woods with the larks.
It's still the kind of group of men and one woman.
Even the two cooks who had been hired to cook were actually brought into the tent by a female adventurer.
It's kind of weird.
After all, dealing with male adventurers is for self-preservation, and what is the hobby of finding two fat-headed and big-eared guys?
Just when Leo was confused, he found that Freya's bodyguard was also missing.
At the same time, Leo senses that someone is approaching him.
He instinctively tried to touch his shield, but it was empty.
Forgot, his shield was put on the cart.
Because he was used to relaxing after camping, he didn't bring out his shield!
"Who! Who's there! ”
"The terrain of the Kingdom of Fran is not entirely based on the terrain of the country in reality. Because the terrain in reality is not difficult. The southeast is all mountainous, hilly and plateau. North-south transportation, if you walk, you can travel the whole country from the west. Therefore, the Dokosom Mountains cross the kingdoms of North and South France, changing the topography of the north and south, making the protagonist's journey more bumpy and adding to the story."
