After a sleepless night of tidying up.
Fourteen people sorted out a huge pile of stuff.
First, two cartloads of saplings were intact.
Of the three overturned carts of saplings, two carts could be made out.
But in the end it only took one car.
There was no way, the carriage pulling supplies was smashed.
They needed a horse-drawn carriage to haul supplies.
Fortunately, the pots and pans are still intact.
In addition, there were not too many of them, so it was easy to clear out a set.
So, in the morning, they sorted out three carts of saplings and one cart of supplies.
There was not much food left.
In addition to some dried meat and tattered vegetables, food such as rice and noodles were scattered on the floor.
Even if you carefully collect the upper layer, you won't be able to collect much.
But they still collected some flour and rice mixed with sediment.
If you wash it carefully when cooking, it can still be swallowed.
After all, compared to being hungry, eating some food with sand and soil is not too sad.
Unfortunately, the dry bread was either trampled or splattered with blood, making it soft and inedible.
However, they still used one night to dispose of Man Niu's body.
The materials that can be sold are kept as their spoils. Meat was temporarily smoked and grilled as food.
Therefore, they would have a cart full of supplies the next morning.
After a short catch-up sleep for two hours.
Fourteen people rode extra horses and drove four carriages, continuing toward the canyon fortress.
Jon and Fairmont rode their horses and led the way.
Nok and Leo became coachmen and drove two carriages.
There were two carriages left, driven by two Lark members who knew how to drive.
There were four horses left, two of which were occupied by Sister Sophia, and the other two were occupied by two people who knew how to ride.
The remaining four members of the "Lark" were placed one on each carriage to act as the carriage's guard.
In this way, fourteen people and four carriages slowly set off on the road.
The season has entered late April, and the water in the Ghana River has become turbulent.
Going north along the road along the river, the banks are covered with wildflowers in full bloom, and fist-sized death bees are collecting nectar, making people afraid to appreciate the beautiful scenery of the mountains up close.
The Ghana River is located between mountains, thus forming a fertile grassland in the vast wilderness.
After walking for a day, I could no longer find any trees that could block the sun. There were only dangers of flowers and grass half as tall as a person on both sides of the road.
No one knows whether there is a bucket-sized giant prairie anaconda hidden behind Cao, or a color-changing cheetah that is proficient in sneaking.
Or maybe a pack of scavenging wolves.
Nock and his party were just like this, walking on the endless grassland. If it weren't for the trade route trampled by millions of people on the grassland, Nock felt that they would have even thought they were lost.
Although I really want to walk along the riverside, in some areas, the riverside will meander for a long way.
By walking along the trade road, Nok and the others could reach the next section of the river and set up camp before dark.
Camping on the prairie is dangerous.
Therefore, when setting up camp at night, the team first surrounded the city with carriages.
Then a cloth made of tattered tents will be used to surround the car to form a wind-proof fence.
But there is a certain risk in doing so. It is easy to be surrounded by wild beasts and monsters without even realizing it.
Fortunately, besides Nok in the team, Sophia is also proficient in detection techniques.
Therefore, the two took turns to keep vigil, and so far, they were relatively safe.
In the past two days, after the team tasted porridge cooked with rice mixed with gravel, they gave up the idea of continuing to drink porridge.
There is really too much soil, even if the rice has been washed many times.
If you only eat the top layer of porridge in the pot, you can't avoid eating sand.
Fortunately, they killed ten bulls that night and took the best parts of their bodies and baked them into dried meat.
So, the group of them changed to cooking broth with beef jerky.
The broth contains only salt and a few crushed dried vegetable leaves.
Simple beef and vegetable soup is their dinner.
As for the daytime, the boiled water boiled at night was poured into the water bag, and the dried meat was eaten to fill the stomach, so that the horses could eat grass and rest.
In order to reduce the fatigue of the horses, except for Jon and his two horses, the other horses took turns pulling the cart.
But even so, something happened on the third day.
During the lunch break, a rogue horse sitting by the river was bitten by a giant anaconda lying in wait and dragged to the bottom of the river.
The frightened people did not dare to stay any longer, so they calmed down the frightened horses and ended their lunch break hastily.
Those who lose their mounts can only get on the car and act as escorts.
Later, Nok thought about it and decided to change the three carriages pulling the saplings into three horse-drawn carriages, and use rope harnesses instead of reins.
Then the man who lost his mount got on the carriage to act as a guard, exactly two guards per carriage.
Although the supply cart only had two horses, they did not have much supplies, so they were not left behind because one horse was missing from the cart.
Instead, the entire team's speed suddenly increased.
At dusk on the third day, they finally left the grassland and entered the jungle.
"According to the map, you can see the Canyon Fortress through the jungle."
"Then at the current speed, can we reach the fortress in the dark?"
"No. It is estimated that it will be close to midnight when we arrive at the fortress. The city guards will not let us station under the city."
"Okay, we'll camp outside the forest. We'll go through the jungle to the fortress tomorrow."
After Jon, who was acting as a scout, exchanged opinions with Nok, Nok began to give orders to set up camp outside the forest.
It has been three days since we were separated from Freya and others, and I don’t know if they are still waiting for them in the fortress.
If she thought that Nok and others were killed, she would be in trouble if she left directly.
They don't have the official documents or tokens to clear the customs, and only Freya's identity can allow them to pass unimpeded.
Jon had already explained this to Nok on the road.
If Freya wasn't waiting for them in the Canyon Fortress, they wouldn't even be able to enter the Canyon Fortress.
Unless they go back and obtain the approval certificate for going to the Royal Capital from the mayor of Maple Town, as well as the customs clearance certificate issued by the Adventurer's Guild, they can enter the Canyon Fortress.
It stands to reason that these should be ready when they set off.
But because Freya, the Marchioness, was in the team, the privileges of the nobility allowed her to pass unimpeded.
Therefore, the group never considered this at all.
After completing the mission, the Royal Capital Adventurers Guild and Lady Freya will issue a pass certificate to allow the escort to return home.
But who would have thought that they would get separated halfway.
We found an open space away from the water source to camp in the downwind area outside the jungle.
Nok and others began to prepare dinner.
The reason why we deviate from the water source is because it is close to mountains and jungles, and there must be many wild animals.
If you are too close to a water source, you may be attacked by animals after drinking water.
Nok and Leo were lying side by side on the carriage pulling supplies.
The food needed for tonight has been taken away by the women, and no one will bother them now.
"What are you going to do next?"
Leo asked Nok in a low voice what his next plan was.
"Act according to plan. Now that we know that Freya is completely coming for me, there are more things that can be manipulated."
"Be careful and don't get yourself into trouble."
"I understand, that is a beautiful snake, I don't dare to take it seriously."
"That's not what I meant. I meant don't be careless and feel complacent about being tricked by them. The background of someone who can make a Marquise willing to be a pawn must not be simple."
After listening to Leo's advice, Nok finally faced his own mentality.
"I understand, I won't underestimate them. I must be careful."
Nok assured Leo.
"That's good. After meeting that woman, what are you going to do with Sophia and the others?"
Leo mentioned the sisters casually.
"Why, are you really attracted to those sisters? Are you reluctant to part with them?"
Nok teased.
Leo quickly explained: "No. I just think that if you don't have specific arrangements, I have something to ask them to do."
It was rare for Leo to take the initiative to make a request, and Nok wanted to agree to Leo's request.
But when he thought about his arrangement, he could only reject Leo directly.
"Sorry, Leo. I have plans for them."
"oh."
"Don't you ask me why?"
"unnecessary."
"I plan to have them take a boat north to the Royal Capital after passing the Canyon Fortress. After repairing the Royal Capital, break them into pieces and go to Seine City to find out information for me."
"You're thinking……"
"Well, Freya only said that it was suspected to be Makina's body, but there was no specific information about Jasmine. I have to confirm the specific information.
If Makina's body really appeared near Anos' house, he would definitely have nothing to do with it. "
"Anos..."
Leo repeated Anos' name with a complicated expression.
During the days in Tarn Village, Anos was quite interesting to him.
If he really killed Makina, don't blame Leo for avenging Makina himself.
This is what Leo owes Makina.
"Then search, search hard. If you can't find it in one day, then search for a month. If you can't find it in one month, then search for a year!
Find the real culprit and kill him with my own hands. "
Leo's murderous words made Nok happy.
"Don't worry, I will definitely catch him in front of you and let you do it yourself."
Leo is no longer as indifferent to anything as he was when he first left the Lion Heart Kingdom.
He was now as full of emotion as a flesh-and-blood human being.
Nok felt that his life with Leo could be bloody, cold, and full of intrigues.
But it must not be a cold and heartless life.
"time to eat!"
Sophia came over openly and called Nok to eat.
However, the eyes that looked at Leo always flickered.
"Ahem, you guys chat, I'll go eat."
Nok couldn't stand this atmosphere, so he left the two of them behind and walked towards the lit bonfire.
It was still a camp surrounded by cloth, leaving a doorway leading to the river.
More than ten people gathered around the fire, carrying bowls, and started their dinner.
Jon and Fairmont were sitting in a corner, with a woman sitting next to them.
This is something we have reconnected with in the past few days.
Nok didn't care, only warned him to negotiate good terms, and if there was no trouble again, Nok would never give him mercy.
The remaining few looked down upon Jon and Fairmont, but were very interested in Leo.
Although Leo's posture as a murderous god that night made people shudder.
But for these women, it has an inexplicable attraction.
At least, that's what Sophia thinks.
As for Knock, his performance that night was too ruthless.
Especially the scene where Sophia and Sofia are punished.
Let the girls keep away from him, but he is the happiest one in peace.
Especially when the three-horse carriage was replaced, the girl acting as the escort directly changed places with Sister Sophia.
Later, it was Nok who took the initiative to switch carriage driving with Leo, leaving Leo and the sisters Sophia alone along the way.
This made the girl changing cars very resentful.
Because that girl is Correa.
Maybe it was because of the differences in their horoscopes, but Corelia didn't take the initiative to say a word to Nok along the way.
However, Nok fell in love with her.
It's not the kind of affection that I like, but I discovered the secret hidden by this girl.
"Sorry, I thought I had updated two chapters today, but I didn't expect that I updated today's first chapter at about 11:50 last night. I thought it was updated at 0:05. So, there is one more chapter for me After taking a shower, continue coding."
