Chapter 13: The Journey
Outside the reception room
"Wait. Lianhua, who walked out of the reception room, called out to Lucy, who was walking in front.
"What's wrong?" Lucy turned and stopped when she heard Lianhua's voice.
"Give me the hand!" Lianhua didn't explain, but handed the strap hand to Lucy.
"Huh?" Lucy blushed and hesitated, but didn't stretch out her hand.
Lucy's expression made Li Ao laugh when she saw it.
"Just in case. Seeing that Lucy didn't mean to stretch out her hand, Lianhua stepped forward and grabbed Lucy's right hand.
"Shadow Veil!" Lianhua shouted, and the black fighting spirit rushed towards Lucy, wrapping Lucy in it, and then the fighting spirit slowly faded again, becoming looming.
"Huh?" Lucy looked at the black vindictive aura surrounding her in confusion, "What is this for?"
Lucy can't see the changes in herself, Li Ao can see it very clearly, with the fading of the vindictiveness, Lucy is also fading a little bit, faintly visible, if you don't look carefully, you can't really see it.
"That's it, Lucy, you're invisible now, and I can't see you clearly. Liao nodded to Lianhua with satisfaction, and explained to the faded Lucy.
"Huh?" Lucy, who was surrounded by vindictiveness, still didn't quite understand. Stealth?
"Hurry up, I won't be able to support it for long. Lianhua didn't explain again, but urged. It has only been a while since the skill was activated, and Lianhua has already begun to sweat, which shows that this skill consumes him a lot.
"Let's go!"
Lianhua led Lucy to walk beside Li Ao, and the three of them quickly left the mercenary hall.
As Lianhua expected, there was always a pair of eyes watching them in the mercenary hall, and they didn't continue until they saw that they were two people leaving. Instead, they stayed and waited for the main target that was still in the reception room.
In about 10 minutes, the three of them came to the hotel room opened by Lianhua last night.
"Huh~" As soon as she entered the room, Lianhua let go of Lucy's hand, and the person leaned forward, looking like she was about to fall.
Fortunately, Liao on the side reacted quickly and held him up, so that Lianhua did not have a close contact with the floor.
"Lianhua, are you alright?" Lucy asked nervously when she saw Lianhua fall.
"Just a little tired. Lianhua replied weakly, maintaining the "Shadow Curtain" for a long time like this is still a bit difficult for him now.
"It'll be fine after a little rest. Liao helped Lianhua to the bed he slept in yesterday so that he could rest.
"It's okay. Hearing the answers of the two people, Lucy was also relieved.
With Lianhua's ability, it has been restored at lunchtime, and lunch is sent to the room by the inn to eat, and in the afternoon, Lianhua and Liao went out once, and Lucy was ruthlessly left in the hotel, Lianhua and Liao went out to buy some daily necessities and Lucy's clothes dressed as men, and the flowers were naturally Lianhua's money. Unexpectedly, the clothes she bought back, Lucy wore them unexpectedly well.
The day passed like this, and if it hadn't happened in the evening, we would have been alone for the first day.
"I said, why do you want me to sleep on the ground!!" Li Ao shouted at Lianhua dissatisfiedly.
After dinner, the time is not early, and then we will leave early tomorrow morning, everyone decided to rest early, to rest, then the problem comes, this room has a total of 2 beds, of course, it is necessary to decide how to sleep at night, how to allocate beds. Lucy is a girl after all, and she has no problem sleeping in a bed, so what about another bed...
"I'm paying for the money. Lianhua replied confidently that the money for opening the room last night was indeed from Lianhua.
"What money is not money, talking about money hurts feelings. ”
"No feelings. Lianhua didn't eat Li Ao's set at all.
"I slept well, I won't disturb your rest. Saying that, Liao had already cheekily climbed onto Lianhua's bed.
"Go away. Lianhua kicked at Li Ao.
"Don't go. Li Ao flashed Lianhua's kick and looked at Lianhua and replied seriously.
"Let's go. Lianhua kicked again.
"Nope. Liao continued to flash.
That's it, Lianhua kicked, Li Ao Shan, although the two of them didn't use their fighting spirit, but the strength was still there, and after a few rounds, the bed announced its surrender. As soon as I heard it, there was a sound of "boom~", and the bed fell apart completely, leaving only a piece of bed board intact, and the two people were also made to ashes. Well, now there are no beds to sleep in.
"Hahaha. Lucy burst into laughter at this scene.
The bed is broken, the board is still there. Liao originally wanted to sleep with Lianhua, but after seeing Lianhua's cold eyes, he immediately dispelled this idea, if Lianhua got up in the middle of the night to give him a dagger, it would be more than worth the loss.
This night, in Lucy's bed, Lianhua's sleeping board, and Liao slept quietly.
The next morning, it was not yet dawn.
Thirty guards and a carriage were slowly driving down the deserted street, and was still sitting outside the carriage and driving the carriage in good spirits. The young male mercenary was nowhere to be seen, presumably in the carriage as planned.
On a small hill outside the town, the three Lianhua had been waiting there, and Lucy waved her hand vigorously at Duck on the hill, silently saying goodbye. It's just that Dark, they didn't notice. The three of Lianhua had been watching Dark's group drive out of Ryan Town, watching them drive in the direction of the imperial capital.
"Let's hit the road too. It wasn't until Duck and his party disappeared into the horizon that Lianhua spoke slowly.
"Let!!'s go," Li Ao responded with a wave of his hand.
"Hmm. Lucy, who was dressed in men's clothes, wiped the tears from her eyes and nodded vigorously.
After saying that, the three of them went down the hill and headed for another road.
Watching Dark's party in the dark, not only Lianhua and the three of them, but also another figure. However, he didn't notice the three people on the hill, but watched as Duck and they left, and the shadow flew back to the town of Lane.
At this time, the sun is slowly rising.
What is the feeling of leaving your parents and elders for the first time? Sad, scared, it should be more of a novelty.
At this time, Lucy, who was walking on the road to the next village, was perfectly interpreting this. For the first time, out of the sight and control of her elders in a real sense, Lucy saw everything very novelly, from the fields on the side of the road, the farmers who ploughed, the carriages that came and went, and the grass and flowers that were as small as they had never seen before.
Lucy stopped and looked, Lianhua and Liao were very patient with her, and sometimes Lucy would ask questions, such as looking at the fields by the roadside and she would ask, "What is this?", "What's going on here?", looking at the farmers who are farming, she would ask, "What are those people doing?", "Why are they farming?", looking at the passing carriages she would ask, "What are the carts on?", "What are these people doing?", and so on. These questions can stump Li Ao, who doesn't go out often, but it can't help the "B" level mercenary Lianhua, who is also abnormal, and answers Lucy's whimsical questions one by one. Li Ao was surprised, it turned out that this product was still very gentle to girls.
Three teenagers of the same age became closer during this day.
So on this day, I didn't go too far, but fortunately, in the big town of Ryan Town, there are many nearby towns and villages, and before night fell, Lianhua and his group of 3 people finally walked to a small town.
As soon as I entered the town, I saw that people were all walking in one direction, and some were trotting.
"Excuse me, what are you doing here?" asked curiously, Liao casually stopped a villager who was on his way.
"I heard that a theater troupe is coming to the town to perform a play, and it's still free, and everyone is rushing over! The villager kindly replied. "If you want to go, hurry up, otherwise there will be no good position. ”
"Drama!!" Li Ao suddenly became interested. "I haven't seen a play yet. ”
"Me too, can we go to the play?" another thing that I hadn't seen before, and Lucy's novelty was brought up again.
"Let's go. ”
"Yay!!" Liao and Lucy shouted.
The three of them quickly caught up with the flow of people and went to watch the drama.
