After a series of previous incidents, the sky gradually darkened, and the guards were all absent-minded and tired, not only because of the battle just now, but also because of the defection of Captain Faric. "It seems that today is not the right day to travel," Duck thought as he watched the guards, and ordered to rest in place for the night, and then set off early tomorrow morning.

A bonfire was lit by the carriage, and the guards did not sit down, but sat by the side of the mountain road, eating dry food, and no one was in the mood to talk. Lucy sat by the campfire in a daze, his mood was very heavy, since he was rescued by Lianhua from Captain Faric, he had never spoken, Duck was anxious in his eyes, and he couldn't persuade him, so he just sat quietly beside Lucy.

On the other side of the mountain path, Lianhua and Liao sat there eating. Originally, Lianhua was sitting alone, and Li Ao came with him, whether it was the guards or Luxi's side, the atmosphere was weird, he didn't like it very much, so he ran to Lianhua and sat down.

"Don't you have to go over and have a look?" Rio looked at Luci as he ate his dry food. "Luci isn't doing very well. ”

"Something has to be experienced. She didn't look back, Lianhua ate dry food by herself.

"Hey, you're really cold!" Regarding Lianhua's attitude, Li Ao was not surprised at all.

"Then why don't you go?"

"Hahaha, it was too windy just now, I didn't hear what you said!"

“...”

"It was really thrilling just now!" Thinking of the reward for the mission that almost flew away just now, Liao was afraid for a while.

"Isn't someone very strong?"

"It's not strong! I single-handedly killed the three minions on the other side, and also blocked the head of the assassin. Give me a little more time, I'm sure I'll be able to take him, the main thing is that this sword is not easy to handle. "Being looked down upon by Lianhua, Li Ao is not happy.

"What about leaving it to you alone?" Lianhua said unhurriedly, adding fuel to the fire.

"Heads-up, heads-up !!" Hearing this, Li Ao raised his eyebrows, put down the dry food, stood up, and waved his fist at Lianhua.

"..."Ignore.

Li Ao was just joking, and when he saw that Lianhua didn't pay attention to him, he just did it. He sat down again, picked up the dry food, and ate it.

"You just used the 'Shura Seal'?" Li Ao didn't look at Lianhua when he said this.

"I also saw you use 'Beacon Fire Thousand Miles' and 'Blazing Slash' just now!" Lianhua didn't look at Li Ao either.

"Hahaha, I think I should have been wrong just now!" Li Ao turned his head and smiled mysteriously at Lianhua.

"Hmm. ”

Then the two of them ate dry food very tacitly and did not continue the topic just now.

Lucy's eyes that were originally looking at the bonfire were gradually attracted by the two people in the distance, and his originally dull gaze became firm, and he got up and walked towards the two people on the side of the mountain road.

"Can I sit here?" Lucy's voice came from behind the two of them.

"Yes, yes, of course it's no problem!!" Li Ao said and moved towards Lianhua, and as a result, Lucy walked to the other side of Lianhua and did it.

"Thank you for saving me, Mr. Lianhua. Lucie's voice trembled slightly, and two clear tear stains could be seen on her delicate and beautiful face by the moonlight.

"The duty lies. ”

"Will you chat!" As soon as Lianhua finished speaking, Liao slapped him on the shoulder, and his eyes kept giving Lianhua a look.

"I'm not very good..."Lianhua has a thorough understanding of her own shortcomings.

"Hahaha," Lianhua's answer drew a burst of laughter

"What's the outside world like?" Lucy asked seriously, looking at Lianhua and Li Ao.

"I don't know the outside world, I rarely go out, and at home I just cultivate, cultivate. This time, I finally found an opportunity to come out. But after so many days, it's really fun. Li Ao also had no answer to Lucy's question, in fact, this was the first time he had gone out in the true sense, "B-class mercenary, can you tell me?" After speaking, he elbowed Lianhua on the lower side.

"I don't know. Seeing Liao and Luci looking at her suspiciously, Lianhua then explained, "You have to feel this yourself!"

"Huh, you don't know?" said Liao with a look of disbelief. "You're a 'B' mercenary!"

"Everyone's experience is different!"

"Uh-huh!", Li Ao was a little surprised that Lianhua actually gave such an answer. But when you think about it, it's true.

"Well, so I'd like to see more!" Lucy sighed.

"I heard that you are going to the imperial capital? There is still some time on the way, so you can take a look at it. Liao comforted. "The world is big, bigger than we imagined. ”

"Hmm!" Lucy nodded vigorously.

"It's not that simple. ”

Hearing Lianhua pour cold water again, Li Ao instinctively wanted to refute him, but after thinking about it, "Indeed! But it doesn't matter, the road has to go to know, right." ”

"After escorting me to Ryan Town, Mr. Leo and Mr. Lianhua, where are you going?" Lucy didn't want to talk about that heavy topic, so he diverted the subject.

"No, sir, we're about the same age, just call me by my name. "Liao is not very interested in this kind of polite salutation. "Actually, I want to go to the imperial capital to see, I heard that it is very prosperous, and there is everything. ”

"I should go to the imperial capital!" Unexpectedly, Lianhua also went to the imperial capital.

"What a coincidence, we can be together. Hearing that Lianhua was also going to the imperial capital, Li Ao was excited, "But I still have to go to other places and do some things, you have to accompany me." ”

Lianhua didn't speak, but she didn't seem to refuse.

"That's great! If I can get to the imperial capital safely, you are welcome to come to my house, well, Liao and Lianhua, sir. ”

"Just call me Hua. ”

"Yes, yes, definitely. ”

The three of them talked a lot together again, well, basically Lucy and Liao were talking, Lianhua would occasionally join them, everyone chatted happily, and the haze that had been shelved in Luxi's heart gradually dissipated.

"I feel like you've known each other for years. Lucy said half-jokingly, half-seriously.

"Not at all!" Li Ao and Lianhua actually said in unison.

A meteor streaked across the sky, as if witnessing something!

Duck had been watching the three chatting people from a distance around the campfire, and seeing that Lucy's mood was getting better and better, the heart that had been carrying it was also relaxed a lot, and then a bold idea appeared in his mind.

After a night's rest, the next morning, the group was back on the road. Compared to the tense atmosphere of the previous days, it was much more relaxed now, but the guards had not yet come out of the captain's defection, and they all looked listless. As a result, the task of command fell on the senior mercenary Lianhua. Lucy didn't sit in the carriage all the time like before, but often stepped out of the carriage and walked and chatted beside Lianhua and Li Ao. Dake also gladly accepted the young master's move, and did not stop it, and at the same time, he agreed more and more with that bold idea.

Four days passed like this, except for a small wave of bandits and individual beasts encountered on the road, there were no emergencies, and the bandits and beasts were easily dismissed by Liao. Now the group has entered Ryan Town and walked towards the Mercenary Pavilion in Ryan Town.

A counter in the Mercenary Pavilion to accept quests

A male staff member with glasses is carefully verifying mission information.

After reading the task power of attorney presented by Duck and the task acceptance form in Lianhua's hand, he first congratulated the parties involved in the task, and then registered Lianhua and Liao with the magic crystal display. It is worth mentioning that just now, Liao spent 5 gold coins and officially became an "E" level mercenary, and the money is still on credit.

"Congratulations, mission accomplished. This is your reward, please check. After the male staff member finished the registration work, he handed Lianhua a magic crystal card containing the reward gold coins.

At this point, this escort mission is officially completed!
