Chapter 287: An Unquiet Journey
【Recruitment】Set sail for a new round of recruitment!!!!
The carriage was moving along the paved road, and Rhodes looked up and looked out the window, where the glow of the setting sun was passing through the dense woods, with a touch of lazy orange glow rendering the verdant woods, beside him, Christie snorted softly, turned his head slightly, and continued his good dream.
"It's almost, Mr. Rhodes."
Marlene followed Rod's gaze, glanced out of the car, and then spoke.
Although the journey from Deep Rock City to Golden City is not difficult, it is not easy, because Golden City is not on the way to the trend, so Rhodes has no way to leisurely take a floating boat to Golden City, he can only choose to take a horse-drawn carriage, pass through the Late Autumn Mountain Road, and then arrive at Platinum Town, and then take a boat down the Emerald River from there, if the road is smooth, then Dafeng will be able to reach Golden City in five days.
Although this kind of long-distance journey is very accustomed to Rhodes and others, it is no different from hell for "otaku girls" like Christie and Labis, who are not in good health or rarely go out. Especially Christie, the girl's body simply can't withstand the too harsh journey.
Because of this, Rhodes specially spent a lot of money to hire two luxurious, comfortable six-wheeled carriages, this kind of carriage is very strong, stable, and the interior space is also very large, the carriage can seat up to eight people, soft and comfortable sofas can make people forget the fatigue of the journey, and even be able to leisurely lean back for a nap, this kind of carriage is also used by many nobles when traveling, and this time the carriage that Rhodes rode in was given to him for free by the patriarch of the Keller family and the city lord of Krause, Not only has the entire carriage been completely renewed, but even the logo on it has been modified to the emblem of the Starlight Mercenary Regiment, no matter what, the Starlight Mercenary Regiment is also fighting on behalf of the Parfield region, even if it can't compare to the other party in terms of strength, it has to be face-saving.
Originally, Rod didn't want to take Christie out, he knew that this trip was not as easy as many people thought, and now many people in the Starlight Mercenary Group think that this is just an ordinary festival, everyone just goes to participate in the excitement, and the excitement is over. But Rhodes knew very well that this matter was not so simple, and it was very likely that they would encounter obstacles and troubles in the Golden City that they had never encountered before. And Christie, in such a situation, must be prone to problems.
But in the end, Rotrei decided to take her with her, because it was also an opportunity for Christie, and the winner could ask Lydia to fulfill one of his wishes, so for Rod, this was the best chance to heal Christie's body. Although he originally had this calculation in mind, at that time, Rhodes was at most thinking about performing well at the Midsummer Festival, and then attracting Lydia's attention, and then he would brush up on His Highness's favorability before making such a request.
But now that Lydia has directly put out such a tempting condition, then of course Rhodes will not be polite.
That's why he took Christie with him, and Rhodes didn't go to find these two carriages for this purpose, so that Christie could rest well, so as to avoid any problems with her because she was unwell before she arrived in Huangyi City.
Now it seems, maybe because of the smooth journey, or maybe because she hasn't been with Rhodes for a long time, Christie is very well-behaved and happy. But the long journey still made her tired, and three hours earlier, the girl had put down her paintbrush and fell into a deep sleep by Rhodes. …,
"Almost."
Hearing Marlene's inquiry, Rhodes glanced out the window, then nodded. Seeing his statement, Marlene also reached out and gently knocked on the car window a few times. Soon, the horse-drawn carriage that had been speeding down the road slowed down and began to look for a suitable place to camp.
Eventually, the carriage stopped in a clearing next to the woods, and after a day's carriage, Anne, who had been bored for a long time, was the first to jump out of the carriage and cheerfully began to prepare to clean the camp and set up the tent, while in the other carriage, Lando, Joey and the others also quickly got out of the carriage and began to help in the same preparations. They placed two wagons on either side of the camp, one on the left and one on the right, and tied the horses to the trees on the side. Marlene recited the incantation, and soon created a ravine on the outskirts of the camp to keep out the beasts and other dangers that might arise. Anne, on the other hand, was running through the woods, venting her day's vigor as she began to look for prey for dinner. Even Lijie was not idle, she searched the woods for firewood to make a campfire at night.
On the surface, this seems to be much like an ordinary trip.
But only Rhodes knows that the leisurely one is probably only now.
When they stepped into the Golden City, it meant that their battle had begun.
And at this time, the figure of Seven Love appeared by Rod's side.
"What are your plans? Master? ”
"Intended?"
Hearing Qilian's inquiry, Rod raised his eyebrows, and didn't seem to understand what Qilian's words meant. But hearing Rod's rhetorical question, Qilian chuckled without pressure, and then she glanced at the busy people outside, and raised her finger meaningfully and put it to her mouth.
"Of course you can't let them hear it, right? Master, how sure do you think we are of this midsummer festival? ”
"I'm only 100 percent sure."
In the face of Qilian's inquiry, Rod did not hesitate at all, and gave a direct answer without even a little pause.
"For me, winning is everything and I'm not going to let up anything in order to get there......... Why, can't you wait? ”
"A little bit."
Hearing Rod's words, Seven Love chuckled and jumped out of the car, and then the girl stretched out her hand and took a turn outside the car.
"Although I also know very well that the master is not such a person, but now it seems that you really haven't changed at all, but it's okay to say this, for me, such a master is the one I am most familiar with and assured...... "So master, do you need my help?"
"This time you don't need to do it, it's just the four major mercenary guilds, and you don't need to go out in person."
However, to the surprise of Seven Love, Rod gave such a surprise answer, her eyes widened curiously, and she looked at Rod in front of her with a trace of doubt, and then secretly turned her head and glanced at the people who were busy arranging the camp and cleaning, and then the girl frowned slightly, and then showed an expression of sudden realization.
"So master, you had this idea? That's why you're going to let old Mr. Walker and his men get to the Golden City first? ”
"That's right."
Hearing the speculation of the Seven Loves, a smile flashed in Rod's eyes, although his expression did not change at all, but at this moment, Rod's eyes became like a hungry wolf.
"The four mercenary guilds are against us in the head, especially considering that His Royal Highness Lydia has made a brainless statement this time, they will definitely not let go of this opportunity. But that's fine, in this way, they won't care about a little shrimp like us, this is also an opportunity for us, but it's not enough to just have a chance, we have to create our own winning ............, since we can't fight head-on, then we have to take another way. ”…,
"Is there anything I can help with? Master? ”
Hearing this, Qilian had completely guessed Rod's thoughts, her eyes were shining at the moment, and her big fluffy tail was also flicking, obviously a little impatient.
"Of course, by that time ..............."
But this time, Luo Xian's words were not finished, because at this time, suddenly there was a noisy noise not far from outside the carriage. This made both Rod and Qilian shut their mouths, and at the same time glanced at each other with some confusion.
What happened?
Before Rod could go to investigate, he saw Labis running over from the side, panting. Seeing her appear, Rhodes and Seven Love closed their mouths at the right time, but soon, what Labis said still surprised them.
"Regiment, Captain! Something happened! Something went wrong!! Sister Lijie is going to fight with someone! ”
"Huh?"
Hearing this, Rod frowned, and then he raised his hand and motioned for Labis to calm down.
And at this time, Christie, who was sleeping in Rod's arms, also opened her eyes in a daze, she shook her head, and looked at Labis in front of her with a hint of confusion and dazedness, like Rod, she didn't know what was going on in front of her at all. Sensing Christie's confusion and uneasiness, Rod first gently stroked her head to calm the girl down, and then continued to ask.
"What the hell is going on?"
"Yes, that's right............ Just now we were tidying up the camp when suddenly a caravan came from the opposite side......... They want this place too, and these people have a fierce attitude, Sister Lijie reasoned with them, but these merchants don't seem to listen to us at all, and they want to drive us away, and Sister Marlene is also ......... there now,"
"Boom!!"
Labis hadn't finished her words, and there was no need for her to finish them, because at this moment, the huge explosion and the smoke that suddenly came from behind had already explained everything thoroughly...... )
