Chapter 104: Emerald City
Back to the hotel.
On the horizon, on the eastern horizon, a new day is coming.
Those who were ready to get up early and hurry up had already packed up in the inn room, and after settling the bill with the innkeeper, they left in a hurry.
In one of the rooms, Denise of the mercenary team was standing, fully dressed. On the bed, lying on the bed was Zack of the mercenary team, wrapped in gauze, with a pair of eyes exposed, looking at the roof blankly.
Denise's eyes flashed and she said, "I'm sorry, Zack, I'm leaving with Uncle Mura." You're too badly injured to stay, but I've asked the innkeeper to help you find someone who can take care of you, a very diligent fellow at the inn, who will do everything for you. As long as you don't give up, you will definitely recover your health soon, and when the time comes, you can return to the squad and continue to earn commissions with me and Uncle Mula. β
Zach didn't say a word, didn't agree, didn't refuse, didn't seem to have any interest in these things. He continued to look at the roof, not moving, if it weren't for the occasional round of his eyes or a round, he would really be suspected of being a dead man.
The atmosphere in the room was somewhat oppressive.
Denise bit her lip and couldn't help but say again, "Really...... I'm sorry. β
"I know you like me, and because of me, you're the way you are. But...... I really can't stay with you, goodbye. Denise spoke, stepped forward and hugged Zach's head, kissed her forehead, and quickly turned around and walked out of the room.
In the room, Zack's eyes flashed on the bed, his lips opened and closed, and he said in an undetectable voice, "I...... Forgive your ......"
Denise didn't hear the words and disappeared out the door.
"Da Da Da", Denise walked forward in the corridor, stopped when she passed a certain room, turned her head to look inside the door, and saw that Cole, who was worse than Zack, was lying on the bed in the room.
"Da", Denise stepped in, Cole saw Denise appear, immediately widened his eyes and shouted, "You...... You can't do that, Denise, I tell you, you can't do this, you can't leave me in this dirty, smelly inn, they're going to kill me!"
"No, Cole, Uncle Mura will pay the innkeeper for your deposit with him, and the innkeeper will find someone to take care of you, so you don't have to worry about your safety. Denise said, her tone a little stiff.
"No! no!" Cole became even more agitated, "you don't understand! it was the money that gave them money, and they would have killed me in order to get rid of it." I don't want to die, please, Denise, take me away, take me away!"
"Cole, calm down. Denise said coldly, without any emotion on her face, "You should know very well that it is impossible for you to leave with me and Uncle Mura, and it is your only choice to recuperate well in the inn, who let you ...... So stupid. β
"I ......," Cole said.
Denise didn't want to ramble any more, and turned and walked out the door.
Cole shouted in despair: "No! You come back to me, come back to me! Even if I really do stupid things for a while, you can't leave me here! I want to see Uncle Mura, I want to tell him! You come back to me!"
Cole twisted his body as hard as he could, moved to the side of the bed, pulled his neck and shouted for a long time, but he didn't see any response, and his voice suddenly became a little vicious: "Denise, I curse you, I curse you for not dying well......!
Suddenly, there was another sound of footsteps outside the door.
"Da Da Da ......"
Cole's eyes flashed, and hope was reborn, and he stopped cursing, poked his head out, and asked, "Denise, are you back?"
"Da Da Da", the footsteps got closer and closer, and then a one-meter-two figure, a curious probe entered the room.
The next moment, Pandora and Cole looked at each other.
There was a sudden silence in the room, and Cole was already close to the body next to the bed, and with a "bang", he fell uncontrollably to the ground, falling down heavily, making Cole can't help but let out a scream.
But Cole was not in the mood to cry out in pain, he just screamed and stopped, his whole body already enveloped in great fear. Staring at Pandora with wide eyes, Cole's pupils contracted uncontrollably, and his whole body trembled, like a helpless child blocked in the corner by a villain, and he said, "You...... Don't come, don't come! I'm wrong, I'm really wrong, please don't come, I'm beating me......"
Pandora ignored it, and slowly tried to approach: "Big squirrel?"
Cole cried out in horror, "I...... I'm not a squirrel, I'm really not, please let me go, I was wrong. Ah, don't come, don't come!"
At this time, there was another sound of footsteps in the corridor outside the door, and Richard appeared in Cole's sight. Glancing strangely at Pandora, Richard asked, "What's wrong?"
"Scaredβ"
"Gone, in a hurry. Richard said, not asking much why.
"Oh. Pandora replied reluctantly, glanced at Cole again, then turned and walked out with Richard.
Cole let out a long breath as he felt his life come back, and then he felt a tremendous amount of pain welling up from all parts of his body, drowning out his senses.
Outside the inn, Richard took Pandora and glanced slightly at Denise and Mura, who were about to leave, and without saying anything, turned and walked forward.
......
Half a day later.
Richard took Pandora and appeared in front of a majestic city, looking at the royal capital of the Emerald Kingdom called "Emerald City", his eyes flashed slightly.
This is a typical medieval city, with a wall of more than ten meters high, and a wide moat, in the war of cold weapons, it can become a strong fortress, can become a meat grinder for enemy soldiers, so that the enemy can not break through several times the number of troops.
However, probably due to the long period of peace, the city wall is not very well maintained, and although it is majestic, it has been clearly damaged. There were cracks the thickness of thumbs in many places, and the corners were covered with dark green moss and lichen, like piles of vomit.
The moat is even more stinky, and even in winter, you can smell feces and stinky water. It is no wonder that medieval cities rarely had a well-developed drainage system, and a lot of household waste and excrement were dumped directly on the street or into the moat. Therefore, on the modern earth, some historians jokingly refer to medieval cities as "built on dungheaps".
But this will not stop people from yearning for the city, even if the current city called "Green Gold City" is dirty and messy, but its bustling business and the royal palace built in it still attract many people to gather like moths to a fire.
Richard pursed his lips and pulled Pandora through the city gate.
