6. Departure
"Mr. Harley, do you really believe he can do it? He's just a mercenary, not even a warrior. Sitting in the carriage, Du Ruen's expression became very quiet, not as indifferent as in Sean's cabin before, and the change in his face before thinking about it was just a kind of aristocratic means.
Harley's face was not as serene as Drouen's, but he was a little unconvinced: "According to my investigation, he did emerge from that forest." And now, we can only trust him, if we can't deliver the goods within the deadline......"
"I see." Durune nodded, and said nothing more, "Then everything will be done according to him." ”
At Halley's signal, the carriage that stopped at Sean's door finally moved forward.
And in the house, Sean, who watched the carriage leave, did not have a look on his face as relaxed as he had talked to Harley and Durune before. Because he knew very well that no one in this world could understand the horrors of the Starfall Forest better than him, and if he only went to the Minod region through the Starfall Forest, he would not be too nervous, after all, in the early days of the game, in order to evade taxes, he had traveled through the Starfall Forest to the Minod area to sell goods and goods.
So, how to safely and effectively cross the Starfall Forest to Minod, Sean remembers clearly.
But to get to the kingdom of Putoloa, it's a bit difficult.
"Otherwise, we won't accept this commission?" Cecilia looked at Sean, who was frowning, and said, "I don't like that fat man anyway. ”
Seeing Cecilia's somewhat worried eyes, Sean's brows finally relaxed: "This commission is indeed a bit difficult, but we can also slaughter each other." We're in desperate need of money right now. ”
"But even if we don't have any money, aren't we doing well now?"
"We may be okay now, but will you always be your magic apprentice?" Sean rubbed Cecilia's hair and smiled, "Your talent is very good, so there's no way I'm going to let you waste time here." Although you can increase some practical experience by following me as a commission, it will also affect your meditation and study time, so in order to fill this gap, we need enough mana crystals to speed up your cultivation. ”
Cecilia pursed her lips and didn't say anything more.
Although she is still young, it doesn't mean that she really doesn't know anything, at least Cecilia can still tell who is really taking care of herself.
"And the Kingdom of Portoroa is a kingdom that values the power of magic, and we may be able to harvest more magic materials over there." Sean blinked, "At a smaller price." ”
Hearing Sean's words, Cecilia finally burst out laughing.
"Prepare well, with the situation of Harley and that nobleman, I believe that the results should be in the next day or two."
"Yes!" Cecilia nodded earnestly, then turned to leave.
Looking at Cecilia's back as she turned to leave, Sean's eyes once again looked in the direction of the carriage leaving outside the window.
In fact, he still hasn't said a word - that is, he needs a lot of experience points to level up now, only in this way can he live better in this world, after all, this is a world where the strong are respected. You must know that in the Miracle Continent, young people of Sean's age are at least second-order occupations, and there are even some so-called geniuses who have reached the fourth-order or even higher ranks.
However, he has been stuck in the first order because of the problem of experience points, which naturally makes Sean feel a little helpless. After completing the quest "Wandering Darkness", his level has been raised to level thirteen, but if he wants to advance to the second-order profession, he needs level thirty, and he naturally needs a lot of experience points to do so. Because Sean knows very well that what really restricts his development is not the rank barriers that people in this world are afraid of, but the "experience points" that people in this world cannot understand. …,
Although Sean didn't know exactly how to get experience points, through this year's training and the situation of the "Wandering Darkness" dungeon, he knew at least one thing: the higher the difficulty of the commission, the more experience points will be gained, and in addition, it seems that experience points can also be obtained from battles in the dungeon.
As long as he knew these two points, Sean believed that he would soon be able to rise to level 30 and then take up the inauguration of a second-order profession.
And this is one of the main reasons why he will accept this commission. Another reason is naturally because the Kingdom of Portoroa is one of the few kingdoms on the northern side of the Miracle Continent that mainly relies on the amount of mana, so for the sake of Cecilia's future growth, why should he go to this kingdom once.
In the next few days, Sean was not busy with anything else, he and Cecilia were still doing what they should do, of course, if any client came to the door, Sean would not refuse, even if it was a small thing like asking him to help find a kitten and a puppy, he was happy to do it, anyway, as long as it was a commission, how could there be a hundred or so experience points in the account, and the accumulation of sand into a tower was still considerable.
In fact, there are actually several mercenary groups here in Hadas Town, but it's not that Sean doesn't want to join, but these mercenary groups don't bother to let him join at all, after all, Sean's current rank is only a first-order [mercenary], so he naturally won't be bored with himself. However, after hearing about Cecilia's existence, several mercenary groups wanted to invite Cecilia to join, but unfortunately Cecilia refused, so they even resented Sean and Cecilia.
But these things, neither Sean nor Cecilia will care.
On the fifth day after the last time Harley and Durune left, Durune knocked on Sean's door again at the quiet of dawn.
"Are you all set?" Sean glanced at Du Ruen, who was already dressed in military uniform, and asked calmly.
"It's all ready, I just want to ask you if you can go right now." Du Ruen said with a solemn expression, he was not as frivolous and impetuous as the last time, and his whole body really exuded a knightly temperament, not a noble atmosphere, "If you can, then we will set off immediately, the others are already waiting at the edge of the forest." ”
"Naturally, there is no problem." Sean nodded.
In fact, as early as a few days ago, he and Cecilia had already prepared everything, because Sean saw a very serious look in the eyes of Harley and Durune, but he originally thought that the other party would come to him in two days at most, but he didn't expect that it would be six days later, presumably the other party must also regard this trip as a very serious and serious matter.
There was hardly any time for small talk, and after each of them had brought something that had been prepared before, they got into the carriage that carried Durune.
Soon, the carriage was heading towards the Starfall Forest.
The Starfall Forest wasn't too far from the town of Hadas, and it wasn't particularly close, and even if there was a carriage, it was already nightfall when the three of them arrived at their destination on the edge of the Starfall Forest.
As soon as he got out of the carriage, Sean saw that a temporary camp had been set up here at the edge of the forest, and many people were busy at the moment, and from time to time there were shouts, as if they were preparing something. Judging from what he saw in front of him, Sean knew very well that there were definitely more than ten people in this camp, and there were also a lot of commodities and materials piled up in the camp, which seemed to be obviously a medium-sized caravan traveling state.
This scene made Sean's brows not wrinkle. …,
"It's just a cover-up." Seeing Sean's brow furrowed, Durune guessed what he was thinking, "There are only ten people who really want to cross the Starfall Forest, including you. However, I was not able to bring the priest with me, so in addition to you and me, Mr. Halley, the other six men had three of Mr. Halley's bodyguards, two marksmen, and one soldier who knew how to use first aid. ”
"First aid?" Hearing this word, Sean subconsciously asked.
"Yes." Durune was a little strange about Sean's performance, but he didn't feel puzzled by this, "Speaking of which, I also know some first aid methods, but it's really not as good as old Peter's handling, he's a real fighter." ”
Hearing what Du Ruan said, Sean already knew in his heart: this person known as Old Peter, his rank would definitely not be a second-order [warrior], but a third-order [elite soldier] or [veteran]. If this is the case, Sean is even more sure of this trip, because he knows very well that whether it is an elite soldier or a veteran, these two ranks can be regarded as the more powerful existence of the same rank in the game, and the only pity is that only NPCs can be employed.
Soon, under the leadership of Du Ruan, Sean met with the other six people in the camp who had already been prepared.
It's just that the process of meeting is not so friendly.
"You're saying we're going to follow this little imp's orders the whole time?" A middle-aged man with a full beard frowned after hearing Harley and Durune's introduction, "He's a mercenary!" How can these greedy scum be up to the task? ”
Sean glanced at the wooden bow on the middle-aged man's body, and then turned to look at a middle-aged man who was about the same age, but with a murderous aura on his body: "What do you say is your name?" ”
"Peter." The middle-aged man glanced at Sean, although there was a little disdain in his eyes, but the habit left over from many years of joining the army made him not oppose Sean's command, "They all call me Old Peter." ”
A golden glow appeared in Sean's eyes.
