Relic (8)

As the bounty hunters walked the last leg before they met, there was an extra maiden in the group of four.

After Tia had slept the previous night, the bounty hunters had a discussion, and at first the discussion was generally about who would be responsible for taking the girl to a nearby town the next day, while the remaining three went to join the escort first.

Then the old vulture came up with a different plan.

He suggested that Tia be handed over to the Holy See.

The starting point is that the girl's identity is mysterious, she knows very little about her own affairs, and secondly, the girl knows a lot about the holy relics, and she has an inexplicable confidence in the opinions she expresses, the topic of the holy relics is not something that a random teenage girl can talk about, plus as long as the average person has a holy relic, the best way to deal with it is to put it in the hands of the Holy See, you will not want any Holy See archbishop to appear in front of you.

Gracker: "That's a solution. ”

Laura: "Solution? She's a person, not a problem. ”

Grak: "You know I don't mean that, but in any case, I don't think it's a bad thing to put Tia in the hands of the Holy See. ”

Laura: "Then I'll put you in the hands of the Holy See?"

Grak raised his eyebrows: "No, why do you scare me at everything?"

Laura: "...... I just don't feel comfortable with Tya alone in the Holy See. ”

Old vulture: "We must be clear, even if we split up tomorrow, and then at the end of the escort mission, we will all have to turn back to face this girl, what will we do then?"

Pierce had difficulty interjecting, and his mouth was especially clumsy at such times.

Laura: "Maybe we can take her back to Devonburg and ......"

Without listening to the enchanter's next words, Grak already knew what the other party was trying to say, and he said bluntly: "Don't expect Mr. Merchant to take in Tia like he did last time, do you know what you're doing? Are you planning to stuff people into Mr. Merchant's antique shop when this happens in the future? Laura, there must be a limit to generosity and kindness, especially if we are still the requesting party, you have to know that the decision of the matter is in the hands of the requested party, and why should we ask Mr. Merchant to take Tia for us?"

Laura's eyes gradually darkened, she knew that she couldn't rely on the merchant every time like last time, but she couldn't help but want the merchant's help in the first place, especially when she remembered Mike's healthy and lively appearance.

Old Vulture: "I know that everyone has some opinions about the Holy See, but I personally think that this is the best way, and to be honest, I would be more worried about putting such a girl who has nothing to do with the relics in the ordinary people." ”

"It's just right for you to make some merit in front of the Holy See, and you can still ask for mercy when your past crimes are exposed. ”

The dwarven warrior revisits the past.

The old vulture turned a deaf ear and decided: "Then, as for the placement of Tia, we will take her on the road and wait until we enter the Rock City, and hand her over to the Holy See at the same time as the escort is delivered, but I hope you can pay attention, we need to keep an eye on this girl on the last day, I don't think anyone wants any accidents to happen, right." ”

So, when the sun rose, there was one more girl in the procession.

The team of five people came, and the bounty hunters did take precautions against accidents, but they didn't expect that the accident did not come from danger, but from the girl herself.

Tia's mood is unpredictable, she is sometimes cheerful and lively, she will chase butterflies, she will enjoy the fragrance of flowers, she will hum little songs, she also becomes weird at times, she walks and talks to herself, her mouth chatters strange words, just like last night, there is no logic, she also sometimes becomes mature, she speaks appropriately, and can carefully tell many things for everyone, things from all over the world, as if the history of the whole continent is recorded in her mind.

It's not easy to get along with Tia because you don't know which mode she'll switch to talk to you the next moment.

Roughly, it is Laura who accompanies Tia, as a woman, she knows how to take care of others, and letting Gerak accompany Tia will only cause more trouble, Pierce is too clumsy, the old vulture's words, Laura is not at ease at all, since she met Tia, she found that the old vulture's eyes began to appear different.

This change made Laura uneasy, and she felt that the old vulture seemed to be planning something.

In the midst of Tia's various mood switches, the bounty hunters finally reach the farthest frontier from Devonburg.

As expected, the team was quite large, roughly estimated to be more than thirty people, but the atmosphere in the team was a little unexpected, everyone didn't seem to pay much attention to the escort mission conveyed by the Holy See this time, the bounty hunters were talking and laughing, and many people were talking about how to use the huge amount of money that was about to fall into the bag.

The four first-time bounty hunters from Devonburg had apparently not expected such an atmosphere, and they realized that perhaps it wouldn't be a big deal to be late today.

"You're welcome to join us from the Fort Devonburg Bounty Hunters' Guild, right?"

In the escort team, a man with a sven appearance walked over.

"Hello, I'm Taylor, and I'm the head of this escort team. ”

Old Vulture: "Hello, these are Laura, Gerak, and Pierce, and as for me, just call me Old Vulture." ”

Taylor: "Old vulture...... What a special title, so, what is this lovely girl?"

Old Vulture: "Her name is Tia, huh...... With us, rest assured, we will make sure that she does not make a difference to the escort. ”

Taylor smiled kindly and said, "Well, if you promise." ”

Gracker: "It's a really relaxed atmosphere. ”

Taylor: "This can't be blamed on them, after all, from the time they set out to the time they kept gathering, not to mention monsters along the way, they hadn't even encountered beasts a few times, and they probably hadn't received such a smooth and rewarding mission for a long time, which made them a little carried away." ”

Laura: "That's not a good thing. ”

Taylor: "Indeed, I'll tell them to be more restrained, because it's not over yet. ”

Pierce: "Speaking of which, where did the escorts get shipped from?"

Taylor: "I'm sorry, I can't tell you about this, you can treat it as a secret of the Holy See, and I don't think you want to know too much, right?"

Pierce shrugged his shoulders and stopped asking.

Taylor: "I think you might have some details to know, but before that we take a break and fill our stomachs, and then I'll answer your questions and answer questions that I can answer on the way." ”

......

...

After a little tidying up and a simple lunch, the escort team set off again. There were a total of five wagons in the team of more than thirty people, all of which at first glance were made of iron, leather and other materials, and they looked like a team transporting supplies, but under this cover, each carriage contained a pitch-black iron box covered with charms, and only one of them was the chest where the holy relics actually existed.

Under the double interference, a team of more than thirty people carried the Holy See's treasure, some unknown holy relic.

Taylor takes special care of Tia, and since the five of them joined, he has been with Tia almost all the time, which undoubtedly relieves Laura of a lot of burden.

But in the eyes of the dwarven warriors, Taylor is just a womanizer who looks like Sven's inner scum, for some reason, from the first time he saw the head of this escort team, the dwarven warriors had an inexplicable rejection of him, although he didn't figure out the reason, but Grak didn't like this Sven guy from the bottom of his heart.

Pierce: "Don't be like that, everyone has their own good. ”

Grak: "Huh?"

Pierce was a little hesitant: "That's it, that is, this, this, everyone is different, there is no need to compare with each other, I prefer to stay by your side a little more." ”

Grak narrowed his eyes: "Pierce, you kid don't think it's ......"

Laura: "I don't think so, I just think you're a little jealous of Taylor." ”

Gluck scolded, "I need to be jealous of that kid, why is he the captain of the escort team just because he is young? just because he has grown a little taller? Just because he looks a little bit more handsome?"

Laura glanced at the other and didn't speak.

But the expression on his face was indicating.

Look, don't you know very well, and you say it's not jealousy.

The dwarven warrior was so angry that his nose and inhale rattled.

Pierce: "Don't say it, don't say it, it looks like we misunderstood, hehe, misunderstood, hehe." ”

Grak: "Hehe? I hate to hear people 'hehe' in front of me, it's not that you seem to have misunderstood, it's just that it's an outrageous misunderstanding! ”

Laura: "Yes, yes, we know. ”

Grack: "I'm ...... the"

"Did you find out? The old vulture suddenly joined the conversation, "When Tia was with Taylor, didn't she have a seizure?"

The three of them were stunned and looked at each other.

Listening to the old vulture say this, it seems that the girl walking next to Taylor really didn't "switch mode" once.

Gerak wondered, "What's going on?"

Laura: "Maybe it's because people look more comfortable, not like someone. ”

Pierce: "Huh. ”

Grak gritted his teeth and said, "Pierce, let me hear 'hehe' again, I promise to break your teeth!"

Affected by the atmosphere of the team, coupled with the smooth convergence with the large army, the three bounty hunters seemed to let their guard down a little.

But the old vulture didn't, and he never relaxed a minute or a second, no matter when or where.

This is the secret of his ability to survive until now.

The image of the two men talking happily at the front of the line was deeply imprinted in his eyes, and the old vulture's eyes flickered and darkened, and no one knew what he was thinking.
