Chapter 47: The Mercenary Squad

The direction to the imperial capital was the opposite direction of Anthony's Magic Tower, and he began to march towards the interior of the empire, and Fei Lun sat in the carriage, comfortably enjoying the scenery outside the window.

Due to the obstruction of Philo City, on this side of Philo City, there are no longer forests and meadows, and humans have opened up a large area of fertile land here, planting a plant that is more similar to wheat, which is most suitable for making bread after grinding, whether it is black bread or white bread, it is very delicious.

And the small villages began to increase, with the city of Philo to block the beasts that came out of the Shining Gold Mountains, these villages were very safe, and Faren saw many children running after them curiously, and then they were dragged back by their own families, and they saluted Faeron's carriage with their heads pressed, all evil classism, but I like it.

"Captain Lawrence, how long will it take us to get to the Imperial Capital?"

Feron poked his head out of the carriage and said to the strong man who was on a par with the carriage, this strong man was the captain of the mercenary hired by Anthony, a mercenary who had just been promoted to an intermediate warrior, and led a mercenary team of about twenty people to be stationed in Philo City, specializing in some escort tasks, and this time he was favored by Anthony and became Feron's protector.

"Young Master Fei Lun, we are going to travel around the clock this time, and we will only rest at night, so it will not take half a month to reach the imperial capital, and I guarantee that Young Master Fei Lun still has time to visit the imperial capital before you report to work. ”

Lawrence said respectfully, not only because of Anthony, but also because of Fei Ren's identity as a top student of St. Phili's Academy of Magic, they know what St. Phili's Academy of Magic represents, and there are only benefits and no disadvantages in building a good relationship as soon as possible.

"Oh, will we spend the night in the wilderness?"

"Yes, Young Master Fei Lun, in order to be in a hurry, we will miss some towns, but Master Fei Lun don't worry, we have walked this road many times, and the camping place is also used by us often, it is very safe, Master Fei Lun, you can rest assured." ”

Lawrence was confident in this, and it was not once or twice that they were escorted to the imperial capital, and it was an exaggeration to say that he could know where to camp and where to fetch water with his eyes closed.

"Of course I don't worry, with your protection from Captain Lawrence, I'm not worried at all, I'm just asking, I'm just curious. ”

Faren smiled, he was just a little excited, camping in the wild, activities that he had always wanted to carry out on the earth, but it was a pity that his group of fox friends were all otaku, and none of them were willing to accompany him, so he could only give up, and he was finally able to experience it in the Red Earth Continent.

After already knowing what he wanted to know, Fei Lun once again enjoyed the scenery with peace of mind, this is a pollution-free, pure natural scenery, which can never be found on the earth, even the remote countryside has been polluted by industry, and the land will be planted with chemical fertilizers and improved seeds, and on the red soil continent, magicians will not talk nonsense to study genetically modified, only old farmers will figure out how to grow high yields of food, Fei Lun feels that if there is a chance, he should really go and see how the halfling people clean up the crops, it is said that the best quality food on the mainland is planted by the halflings, and it is probably Yuan Lao's status on the earth。

In addition to the crops, Pheren also saw all kinds of domestic animals and poultry, all of which were similar to those on earth, such as a nearly one-meter-tall chicken, cows the size of baby elephants, and hairy mammoths, all of which seemed to be larger than those on earth.

After leaving Philo City, the village gradually decreased, until there was no longer a shadow of the village, but people are not uncommon, due to the development of commerce in Philo City, there are many merchants who come and go, every time Yujian is a long convoy, and the people accompanying him are also hundreds of people, except for the necessary merchants, the others are mercenaries.

After getting tired of seeing the scenery, Fallon poked his head out and chatted with Lawrence, verifying the travelogues he usually read in books with Lawrence.

"Young Master Fei Lun is really knowledgeable, he knows more than me, who has traveled from south to north, and I admire a learned person like Young Master Fei Lun, I really hope that my child can become a magician in the future." ”

After talking with Feren, Lawrence had to admire Feren's knowledge, and it was obvious from the conversation that Feron was a person who had never been out, but when it came to the humanities knowledge everywhere, it was the head of the way, although some of it was not quite in line with reality, but it was definitely not far behind, and there were even some that Lawrence himself didn't know, and Fallon could say a thing or two.

Lawrence's words to Faeron are not compliments, he does envy these magicians, every day just need to read a book, sit (meditate), which is like himself, every day is to live with his life, he is ready to fight for another year or two, save some money to marry a wife to live a small life, and go to the temple a few more times in the future to see if he will be blessed by God, and he can become a magician if he has a child in the future.

"Actually, I admire Captain Lawrence, you go from south to north, although you don't read many books, but when it comes to experience, no matter how many books you read, there are not as many as yours, I still envy your life more. ”

People outside the walls envy the life inside the walls, and the people inside the walls want to get out of the walls.

"Young Master Fei Lun still don't have such thoughts, you haven't experienced it personally, the hardest thing on the mainland is not to be a soldier, not a civilian, but our mercenaries, every time we do tasks with our heads, our team is a good point, there is this Taiping business line, other mercenaries, often have to go to dangerous places to do tasks, if one accidentally has to leave a few lives to complete the task, Young Master Fei Lun still don't envy us." ”

Listening to Faeren's curious words, Lawrence shook his head with a wry smile, as a mercenary, he is the one who knows the hard work of mercenaries best, don't look at their team of more than twenty people, these people have already changed a few stubbles, the previous ones are either dead or disabled, and they take some severance gold nests in the corner and wait quietly for death.

Seeing that he mentioned Lawrence's sadness in one sentence, Pheren didn't say anything more, and after a few polite words, he retracted into the carriage and rested.

"Head, what did the eldest young master say to you? Are you pointing fingers again, these nobles just have a lot of things, and they can't be wronged a little. ”

After Lawrence finished his conversation with Pheron, he was walking back and forth in the group, and when he passed by a team member, he was pulled and asked.

"Piri, honestly guard against your position, what is a lot of things, just the young master in the carriage, you can't beat people with ten, and you suspect that there are too many things. ”

Lawrence made a face and taught this young man a lesson.

"No, isn't it just a little magician who has never been out, head, you don't know that those inexperienced little magicians have more or less died in the mouths of beasts that we can easily kill. ”

The young mercenary named Piri didn't believe what Lawrence was saying at all.

"You know a fart, do you know where this young master is going to school? St. Philip Academy of Magic, one of the four major magic academies in the mainland, the people who came out of it either went to the Royal Magic Wizard Group, or were co-opted by the big family, and besides, this young master is definitely not comparable to those tender birds, I can feel the blood on him, he is definitely a person who has seen blood, and he honestly escorts this mission, if he can get in touch with this young master, there will definitely be no harm in the future." ”

Lawrence knocked on the door of Piri's head, Piri was his countryman, so he was unrestrained in front of him, dared to joke, and was also the most careless one.

"Got it, got it, head, you're just too cautious, how many times have we walked on this road, what's the danger, I think this task is to send us money. ”

Piri didn't care about Lawrence's lesson at all, he was still careless, in his opinion, Lawrence was just a little fussed, and what a light-hearted character this trip had to make nerves.

"You stinky boy, you dare to talk back, even if you go a thousand times and ten thousand times, you should be careful or be careful, if you are not obedient again, after this mission, you should go home, you are so careless, one day you will lose your life, I don't want your family to blame me for not taking good care of you." ”

Piri's hard mouth made Lawrence very angry, he was careful to save himself countless times, and he also let him see how many self-righteous people lost their lives, and now Piri's attitude, Lawrence doesn't want him to die.

"Don't, head, I can't do a good job, if you drive me away, my mother will definitely let me go farming, I don't want to farm, I will listen to you." ”

Seeing that Lawrence was angry, Piri quickly became honest and didn't dare to smile anymore.

"Hey, if it weren't for your family's face, I would have driven you back a long time ago, whether you listened to it or not, prudence can save your life, I won't say much, you can weigh it yourself. ”

After saying that, no matter what Piri thought in his heart, he continued to patrol the team.

"The head is just too careful, it's all nerves, hurry up and finish this task, and go back to the imperial capital to be comfortable, isn't it?"

After Lawrence left, Piri grimaced at his back, and then laughed with the person next to him, he didn't listen to Lawrence's words at all, and thought about where to go when he got the bounty for this mission, he already liked the life of a mercenary, so when Lawrence wanted to drive him away, he was so flustered, from thrift to luxury, from luxury to thrift.

Because the whole team has a means of transportation, Lawrence's mercenary team is riding horses, so the team is moving fast, and Faeron's worries about not being able to catch up with the reporting time have disappeared without a trace, and there is experienced Lawrence, I believe that he will definitely be able to reach the imperial capital according to the expected time.
