Style: Fantasy Author: Lingnan NanshankeWords: 4239Update Time: 24/01/13 08:29:58
Nok lay in bed for two days. "Holy Light Redemption" can even regenerate a severed limb, so it's natural to make up for his physical shortcomings.

However, in order to conceal the truth, he still stayed in bed for two days.

When Father Molière left Maple Leaf Town again, Nok took Leo, packed his bags, and sneaked out of the church.

As early as the day before, Nok filmed Leo to inform Freya, asking her to go to the Adventurer's Guild to issue a silver-level escort mission. Escort Danfeng Bailu's saplings back to the capital.

Leo had secretly accepted this task yesterday without making any announcement.

Freya's motorcade was ready early in the morning.

The route has already been set.

Therefore, as soon as Nok and the two arrived, Freya ordered to set off.

Along the way north, you need to pass through no less than thirty towns, large and small, and it takes almost two months.

Of course, it is also feasible to go west, then use a sea boat to go north along the coastline, directly arrive at the northern port, and then turn eastward to Pari.

However, there are still ice floes on the sea in spring, so it is easy to run into rocks when sailing, and the speed is also slow. On the contrary, it is not as fast as the land route.

In addition, the saplings needed to be watered from time to time, which was not possible by sea route, so this route was naturally cancelled.

Therefore, the most suitable route is the more difficult overland route.

Go north along the Garna River, pass through the canyon fortress, enter the Dokossom Mountains, enter the Dokossom Mountain City, change the route to Felion, enter the plains and walk twenty leagues north, you can see the end of the Seine River.

Continuing north along the Seine River, you will encounter the city of Vattiou, the terminus of the Seine River.

Take a boat north from the city of Vatio and you can go directly to the ferry in Pali!

Disembark from there and continue three distances north to reach the royal capital of Pali.

This is the perfect route for saplings that need frequent watering.

Except for perhaps a brief water shortage in the mountain town of Dokoso, there will be no shortage of water along the way.

Whether it is the Ghana River or the Seine River, there will be no shortage of water during this season. Even because it is approaching the flood season, the river water is abundant.

Perhaps the team also has a headache on how to prevent excessive rainfall from causing the saplings to absorb too much water and die from waterlogging.

All in all, the route is ready.

The team is ready, and the carriage is still ready!

The carriage and team were prepared by the mayor. Together with the seedlings of Danfengbailu, they were registered with the Adventurer's Guild for a mission without level requirements.

The difficulty is not high, but the mission is too long, and the round trip takes almost half a year.

Therefore, what was supposed to be a silver-level escort mission became a non-level escort mission with generous rewards, attracting many adventurers and adventure teams to sign up.

In the end, Jon felt that solo adventurers were not conducive to management, so he decided to hire an adventure group of thirty people and two adventure teams. All are bronze level.

The adventure group is "Black Bear", and the adventure team is "Lark" and "One-horned Fairy".

The "Black Bear" adventure team is responsible for the team's safety, while the two teams, the Lark and the Horned Fairy, are responsible for helping transport and protect the saplings.

The escort is only responsible for protecting Lady Freya's carriage.

In addition to these personnel, the team also hired two chefs with high salaries to accompany them, both from Maple Town.

Then, there were Nok and Leo who got into the carriage.

However, the difference is that Knock got into the luxurious carriage that Freya and Charlotte were riding.

Leo was riding a carriage transporting daily necessities.

When a team travels far, apart from goods and personnel, living supplies are naturally the most important.

But for Freya and her team, although goods are important, food is more important.

Therefore, as the strongest person in the team, there is nothing wrong with Leo guarding the lifeblood of the team.

At least, that's the reason Freya gave.

As soon as Nok got in the car, he was so fascinated that he naturally agreed with this statement.

Therefore, Leo was ordered by Nok to ride in the food carriage.

The carriage that pulls food is modified from the carriage that pulls goods, but the surroundings are reinforced and raised, and it is also covered with a roof.

It was full of dense food and the taste was a bit muddy.

Fortunately, the carriage was not closed, otherwise Leo really wouldn't want to act in this scene.

In short, Nok was laughing and laughing in the luxury carriage, while Leo was doing nothing in the supplies carriage.

The other mercenaries and guards did not dare to complain.

Especially the members of "Lark" and "Horned Fairy", they all loaded the sapling carriage with safety.

All members of the "One-Horned Fairy" are men, and they are mainly hunters.

Therefore, he took on the heavy responsibility of driving and being a coachman. Although he became a coachman, he never left his hand with a bow and arrow. If something really happened, the coachman standing on the carriage would turn into a sniper.

Most of the members of "Lark" are women. Since the captain and vice-captain are sisters, they naturally recruit many female adventurers.

The most important thing is that apart from their tanned skin, the members of Lark also have good looks.

Even the appearance of the sister captain can be called a "beauty".

They are responsible for watering the saplings and taking care of their survival.

However, in the past few days, other men had taken away the work of fetching water from the river.

These men include members of the "Black Bear" adventure group and members of the "One-horned Fairy".

If it weren't for their rough hands and feet and their inability to do fine work, I'm afraid they might even do the watering work for the female team members of the "Lark".

There is no way, they are the only women in the entire team.

Everyone else is men.

Originally the team wouldn't be so miserable.

It's just that there are sounds that make people blush every day from the luxurious carriage ahead.

How can this make adventurers who are preparing for a two-month journey endure?

The men did not dare to pursue the nobles' ideas, so they naturally focused on the female adventurers in the team.

Fortunately, the men were still sensible and knew not to disrupt the harmony of the team, so they did not use force to act like a bully.

Instead, he relies on pleasing female adventurers in exchange for the opportunity to have a romantic relationship.

They are all adventurers who lick blood from the edge of the knife, so they are already under a lot of pressure.

Whether it is a man or a woman, after listening to the "noise" for a few days, their hearts are ready to move.

Therefore, not only the men in the team miss women, but the women also miss men.

Fortunately, the captain of "Lark" was still sober and warned the team members not to mess around.

Even if you want to go into the woods, you should stop it in moderation, and don't make it so that you don't have the energy to hit the road the next day.

In this way, what was originally a good escort team turned into a mess.

Even Freya's guards would go into the woods with female adventurers from time to time.

Both Nok and Freya knew this clearly.

However, neither of them stopped this behavior, and even Nok vaguely felt that this was the result of Freya's deliberate indulgence.

Although he was riding in the same carriage as Freya and Charlotte these days, he was not having fun every day as the outside adventurers thought.

Although it was inevitable to use hands and feet, no real battle took place.

Nok is not stupid. This is the wilderness, where unexpected situations can happen at any time. Will he be exhausted and weak?

What's the difference between that and courting death?

It's just that the two women didn't intend to let him go. They kept confusing him intentionally or unintentionally, trying to get more lies out of him.

Nok just acted with the two of them, occasionally subduing the two annoying goblins with his hands.

Every time the two goblins wanted to play for real, Nok always refused on the grounds that it was not safe in the wild.

However, when the team entered villages and towns, Nok still had to sacrifice himself and sleep with the two men.

Therefore, Nock admitted that the team's atmosphere was somewhat influenced by him, but not much, just a little.

In this way, the team walked all the way north for two weeks.

Passed two towns and three villages.

Food was supplied in the village and carriages were repaired in the town.

The journey was much slower than expected.

However, the group of people didn't pay too much attention to it. Instead, they were very satisfied with the journey.

Especially after the female members of "Lark" gradually let go, the atmosphere in the team became obviously high.

But the combat effectiveness also dropped significantly, which was noticed by Leo, who had been doing nothing.

It’s not that there weren’t any female members of the “Lark” team members who wanted to hook up with Leo during this period.

It's just that Leo is a bit picky.

He doesn't mind if the woman has had other men before, but he does mind that the woman had other men when she was with him.

Although he could understand the reason why these female adventurers were so indulgent, it didn't mean that he could accept it.

The reason why these women indulge is not only to release their inner pressure, but also to protect themselves.

After all, he has been targeted by so many male adventurers. If he doesn't give them any sweeteners, he is afraid that the team will really be in chaos.

When the time comes when "Black Bear" and "One-horned Fairy" besiege them, their employer will probably not care.

After all, even if the "Lark" is missing, the remaining people are enough to complete the task of guarding.

As for whether "Black Bear" and "One-horned Fairy" will attack their employer after besieging "Lark", there is no need to worry about that.

The punishments imposed by the kingdom's laws and the Adventurer's Guild are not something they can bear.

When civilians kill nobles, they are guilty of conspiracy, which is a serious crime of genocide.

If no one knows about it, just kill him.

But killing the employer under such a registered escort mission, haha, even a saint-level powerhouse would not dare to do it.

But if you kill the adventurers in the same team with the employer's acquiescence, there will be more options.

Nobles do not care about the lives of common people.

As long as it doesn't threaten them, they will definitely turn a blind eye to this kind of thing.

Even if "Black Bear" and others take refuge with the nobles, they can still get the protection of the nobles.

Attributing the death of "Lark" to an accidental sacrifice during the mission, or an accident due to lack of strength, etc., can completely excuse the union.

Without evidence, the union will not punish them even if they suspect it.

Therefore, the behavior of the members of the Lark is entirely for self-preservation.

Leo can understand it, but he doesn't like it.

After all, in his opinion, if they don't want to, they can find a reason to quit when they enter the town, and then find a nearby adventurer's guild to quit the mission.

They have mission receipts in hand.

If you want to quit the mission, you just have to lose some money.

But these people do not quit, but instead protect themselves in this way, which means it is their own choice.

How could Leo like them?

On the contrary, the sisters of "Lark" have never been involved, which is intriguing.

After all, the top management of "Black Bear" and the captain of "One-horned Fairy" have expressed their interest in the sisters.

One night, Leo even found that the sisters were blocked in the woods by several senior officials of the "Black Bear".

It was obvious that he was going to use violence, but in the end it was nothing.

This made Leo very confused.

However, although Leo was confused, he would not go out of his way to investigate these things.

He just needs to be responsible for his own safety and that of Nok.

Although the three of them stayed in the carriage almost the whole day.

But when the team took a break to cook and when they set up camp at night, they would meet Leo.

Leo can grasp the information delivered by Nok every day.

Leo will also quietly pass on the information he masters every day to Nok.

Not to say it was peaceful along the way, I can only say that there was no major danger.

We didn't encounter any bandits or thieves, but we did encounter a lot of small monsters.

On one occasion, we even encountered a herd of migrating ordinary wild beasts.

A few were hunted by the team for food.

However, after setting up camp today, Leo, who was taking a walk after dinner, felt that something was wrong with the atmosphere.

Except for the night watch adventurers, most people went into the woods with the "Lark" people.

Or a group of men and a woman.

Even the two cooks who were hired to cook were actually brought into the tent by a female adventurer.

This is somewhat strange.

After all, dealing with male adventurers is for self-protection, so what's the point of finding two fat-headed cooks?

Just when Leo was confused, he discovered that Freya's guard seemed to be missing as well.

At the same time, Leo noticed that someone was approaching him.

He instinctively wanted to touch his shield, but found nothing.

Forgot, he put his shield on the car.

Because he was used to relaxing after setting up camp, he didn't bring out the shield!

"Who! Who is there!"

"As for the terrain of the Kingdom of France, it does not completely refer to the terrain of the country in reality. Because the terrain in reality is not difficult. The southeast is covered with mountains, hills and plateaus. With north-south transportation, if you walk, you can travel across the country from the west. Therefore, the Dokosom Mountains cross the northern and southern French Kingdoms, changing the terrain of the north and south, making the protagonist's journey more bumpy and adding to the story."
