Chapter 66: The Fallen Lion [I.]
As the morning sun shone through the fading clouds on every inch of the Gold Digger's Station, Cohen and his party were waving goodbye to the Duke brothers' caravan, looking at the Edgar caravan that was fading away, Cohen turned to Rachel and said, "Let's rest for a while, let's leave in the afternoon." ”
The dwarf shrugged his shoulders indifferently, and said with a heroic smile: "As long as there is good wine, I will have no problem setting off tomorrow!" After saying that, he pushed open the door of the inn, sat back on the table, raised his wine glass, and drank happily. "Maybe that's a good result, too!" Cohen looked at Rose and Shelly, and the last trace of guilt in his heart finally dissipated, and he quickened his pace a little towards Rachel, and sat down at the table with him to drink.
At this time, Rose lifted the brim of his hat, showed a delicate face, and said, "Sister Xuelu, what did you say to Cohen yesterday, and why did he suddenly accept Mr. August's soul seal, and make a five-year contract? Uncle Duke was even more exaggerated, crying and shouting for Cohen to accept the five million gold coins as a thank-you gift, and it was the first time that I had seen someone give so many gold coins as a thank you gift after I had been traveling with Captain Vandal for so long. ”
"I didn't say anything, it's just that he untied his heart knot!" Xuelu rubbed Rose's red face and smiled, "Go and pack your luggage, we're going to the Lion Crusader City in the afternoon!" Rose nodded, and trotted towards his room to pack his things.
Xue Lu sighed, she naturally knew that the behavior of August and Duke last night surprised everyone, and she was the only one who knew that the five million gold coins given by Duke were just the final payment for the high-purity flame Clesia crystal, and she spent a little bit of caution to persuade Cohen to accept this huge amount of money.
As for parting ways with the merchant group, it was really helpless, the endless forest after being baptized by the storm was already difficult to move an inch at this time, and it would take at least half a month to open up a new road, and the other merchant groups sent spies to learn that they could not pass through the endless forest for the time being, and they all changed their routes to take a sparsely populated path around the endless forest. Duke and Dylan felt that time was pressed last night, and there was not much time left before the auction opened, so they naturally chose to change their route in a hurry.
When Xuelu pushed open the dilapidated wooden door of the hotel, Cohen and Rachel were drinking happily, and the two saw Xuelu and pulled her over directly regardless of Sanqi Twenty-One, perhaps it was yesterday that she confessed her heart to Cohen, the originally cold Xuelu finally showed a little affinity at this time, and she was not so resistant to the contact of the opposite sex, and when the thick-skinned hands of a dwarf like Rachel, who was full of ore and wine, pulled her wrist, she looked at the frolicking two with a smile, and her heart was extremely calm.
"Snowdew, I made a bet with Cohen that you could let everyone fly through the Endless Forest to the Lion Crusader City!" Rachel picked up the barrel cup on the table, poured a glass of home-brewed juice and pushed it in front of Snowdew, motioning for her to sit down. Xuelu sat down with a grin, raised her glass and said to Rachel, "Then thank you for trusting me first!" After saying that, she gently touched the wooden cup in Rachel's hand, and took a sip of juice with a light touch on her lips.
Seeing Xuelu actually take the initiative to toast to herself, Rachel suddenly felt flattered, and she didn't know what to say, she raised the barrel glass and sighed, after all, since he drank until now, no girl has ever toasted him out of gratitude. For the dwarves who are heavy drinkers, being toasted is a supreme honor, a sense of identity that is far greater than any other way.
"I'm telling you the truth, hahaha!!" Rachel laughed heartily, and he couldn't be better at this time.
"Then Cohen means that I can't let you fly directly to the Lion Crusader City, right?" the corners of Xuelu's mouth curled in a charming arc, and her small hand held the wine glass and kept spinning, looking at Cohen thoughtfully.
Looking at Xuelu's charming lips, Cohen felt a little hot in his heart for no reason, and quickly raised his wine glass to take a big sip of rye wine, wiped the wine foam from the corner of his mouth, and said with a smile: "After all, when I went to Crescent Lake last time, I probably knew the flight distance of the Clear Sky Wings of the Lunar Road, and it took at least two breaks to get from the Gold Digger's Station to the Lion Crusader City. ”
"And what's the bet between you and Rachel, can you tell me?" Snowdew winked at Cohen, an indescribable strange feeling that reminded Cohen of the ambiguous scene yesterday, the slippery lips, the thin waist that was juggling... Thinking of this, Cohen's eyes no longer dared to make contact with Xuelu's, so he quickly lowered his head and whispered: "The bet is that the loser must promise the other party one thing, no matter what!"
Shelly looked at Rachel and said, "If you win, what would you want Cohen to do?"
"Cohen said that if he lost, he would take us to the Fallen Purple Flower Street in the Lion Crusader City to drink, and let Rose and I see the paradise of men, saying that there was the most mellow wine in the entire Noah continent. As she said this, Rachel had a look of extreme yearning. If there was a hole in the ground at this time, Cohen felt that he would definitely go down without hesitation, but he didn't expect that his drunken joke last night actually made Rachel say it, and it was in front of himself and Xuelu.
Sure enough, when she heard about the fall of Purple Flower Street, Xuelu's brows furrowed for no reason, and she slowly turned to look at Cohen, and said with a smile: "I didn't expect you to have such a hobby?"
"That's just drunken jokes, don't take drunken jokes seriously!" Cohen said at a loss. But when Rachel heard that Cohen's promise last night was just a joke, he slammed the table and said angrily: "Then you mean that you deceived me last night, a simple dwarf?" At this time, Cohen wanted to die, looked at the two of them in a dilemma, raised his wine glass and drank the rye wine in the glass, without looking at the two of them, and ran away as if he was running away.
"Don't run, you make it clear!" Rachel looked at Cohen who ran away with a smoke, and quickly stood up and was about to chase after him, but who knew that Lu Dao Xuelu shook his head with a smile and said, "He didn't mean to lie to you, he was just shy!"
Rachel looked at Xuelu inexplicably and asked, "What do you mean?"
"Don't worry, Cohen will take you and Rose to Fallen Purple Flower Street, he is a warrior who keeps his promises, and it was just a little joke I made with him!" "Xuelu smiled very happily, she suddenly felt that teasing Cohen was something that made her extremely excited, perhaps, it was the vague ambiguous relationship between them that made her heart feel a burst of sweetness.
"I'll go up and pack up my things, and I'll come back to you later!" Shelly picked up the flask herself, poured Rachel a full glass of rye wine, and headed straight to the room on the second floor.
"How did these two become nervous?" Rachel pursed his lips disdainfully, picked up the wine glass on the table and took a sip, then picked up a piece of stewed and cooked meat, and after biting a piece beautifully, the old god was there, cocking Erlang's legs, and muttering in his mouth: "I'm really looking forward to it, the mellow wine of Fallen Purple Flower Street!"
At this moment, Xuelu, who was packing up her clothes in the room, was happily thinking about how to use the opportunity of the bet between the two to make her relationship with Cohen go further, because her mind was full of Cohen's sentence "In the future, I will protect you!", Xuelu felt a slightly sour feeling in her heart that made the whole person in an indescribably wonderful artistic conception, maybe this is the so-called love, right? Xuelu thought of it, and smiled even sweeter.
And the reason why Xuelu is so confident is that her perception of Clear Sky Wings during the time she was in the underground cave was actually promoted from the beginner to the middle level, and now with the blessing of the spell, Xuelu is confident that she can fly from the Gold Digger Post to the Lion Crusader City, and then turn back without any accidents. Thinking that Cohen couldn't fly out of his Five Finger Mountain, Xuelu actually hummed the song in her memory happily.
In the afternoon, Cohen and his party walked out of the gold hotel after a delicious lunch, only to see that the long-lost scorching sun was radiating a scorching light, and the gold prospector's post after the storm was illuminated by the scorching sun, and the air was filled with a heavy smell of earth.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Shelly walked up to Cohen quickly and smiled, "Is your bet with Rachel still valid?"
Just as Cohen wanted to say something, Rachel walked up to the two of them and said viciously to Cohen: "If you dare to say that the bet is invalid, the next time you return to the dwarf clan, I will definitely let the most 'beautiful' girl in the clan entertain you!" After speaking, he raised the no-return tomahawk in his hand, slashed a few times in front of Cohen, and left.
Cohen sighed helplessly towards Xuelu: "As you can see, my bet with Rachel is still valid!"
"That's good!" "That's good!" Xue Lu smiled and blessed the Sky Wings to everyone, and then flew up first, floating in mid-air to confirm the direction of the Lion Crusader City, and shook her little head at Rachel, and said, "Let's go, let's let Cohen lose convincingly!" After saying that, he urged Gu Sky Wings with all his might, and disappeared from everyone's sight in a blink of an eye.
At this time, Rachel smiled at Cohen, stretched out a thumb and pressed it down, and said defiantly: "Xuelu and I are waiting for you at the outpost, remember to honor your bet, haluha!" and then shouted and chased in the direction of Xuelu.
Rose looked at Cohen, who was stunned, and asked, "What's wrong with them?"
Cohen smiled bitterly: "Anyway, it's not a good thing, let's go, let's go too, otherwise we may not be able to feel the Battle Lion Crusader City before dark, and sleeping in the endless forest is not a good thing." After saying that, he scratched his head, and Rose and the two of them urged the Wings of the Clear Sky to fly in the direction of the Crusader City one after the other.
At the same time, the Lion War Crusader was inside the city.
A little fat man with an honest appearance is constantly stringing around in the streets and alleys, behind him three warriors in black suits holding two daggers and quickly chasing after the little fat man, in order to delay time, the little fat man from time to time to push down the debris around him to slow down the pace of the pursuers, but his physical strength is limited, at this time it is already the end of the crossbow, exhausted, and he is about to be caught by the pursuers behind him.
Suddenly, a small hand suddenly stretched out from a door around the corner, grabbed the little fat man's upper body and dragged him into the door, just when the little fat man kept struggling and was about to bite on his arm, a familiar voice came from behind him: "Your Highness Elvis, it's me!"
"Camille, is that you?" the little fat man suddenly quieted down and exclaimed.
"Don't make a sound!" a small hand gently covered the little fat man's mouth, and the two of them quietly squatted under the windowsill by the door. After a while, three black shadows flashed outside the windowsill, and a hoarse voice came from the window: "Hurry up and find that little guy, otherwise how can you give an account to the adults?"
At this time, the little fat man suddenly broke out in a cold sweat, this voice was too familiar to him, why would it be him?
