The space inside the carriage is not narrow, but for the little lion, sitting for a long time is really painful. She then asked Uriel: "Can we really just take the car?"
"real."
"Walking little by little, passing all the small towns and cities along the way?"
"You said it all along the way." He sighed.
"So, I can go with you to find Aiken along the way?"
He really wanted to say no. But time waits for no one. At least Roma is with him, but those children have not yet been found. You must know that Manai and his party traveled all the way from the Ice Territory to the north. Obviously, Sister Barnsa was not the only clergy involved in this sinful transaction. Joey said that this is a complete industrial chain, so according to the address in the transfer letter, every church from Iron Claw City to Knight's Bay is suspected. Do you want him to watch these children being sold without intervening? "I ask you to go back by yourself, can you do it?"
"If it's an assassination like today, I'm not sure." She shook her head hesitantly, "These assassins are too despicable."
"If you aim at the enemy from a few hundred meters away, you would be even more despicable," the ring laughed at her. "Nightingales are not knights. Their justice is to give people sudden death. Decency will be left at the funeral.』
The Nightingale Uriel first faced was the Windrunner, when he and Gunther "Button" sneaked into the branch church headquarters in Blumnot, and the Nightingale followed them all the time. The Black Knight attracted by Gunther did nothing to him, but Windrunner's magic almost killed him. It can be seen that no matter what occupation, doing the work of a nightingale is fatal.
None of this is the point. Uriel thought to himself, he didn't expect that after so many detours, he still had to take Roma with him. Alas, perhaps this was what Otto had destined. After all, our goals are unified. Since the facts cannot be changed, he has already begun to think about what help Roma can bring to him. She probably never thought about this problem herself.
The little lion is a windrunner, but the quick mysterious profession won't help much in battle. She was like the apprentice before coming to Blumnot. She could only be beaten against those who were slightly more proficient in techniques and mysteries. It doesn't matter that Uriel is a knight, but Roma is a little girl after all, and she must not be like this. The legendary adventurer Yasukawa wanted her to become an archer, but he may not have had this consideration in mind.
The wheels struck the gravel and the carriage tilted. "Where is the first stop?" asked the little lion.
Thanks to Mr. Linde's suggestion, they obtained a more detailed map. "Redwood forest." Uriel tried to steady his shaking arms. Originally, he planned to read the newspaper in the car, but luckily he didn't. "There is a village there. A small place like this cannot be spared."
Roma was completely fine with that. "I listen to you!" she said confidently. Her posture and expression were the same as when she promised to be obedient in the shimmering forest, but the apprentice knew that there was no hypocrisy in this sentence.
He put away the map and arranged his weapons. "Then you will be my mercenary." Uriel said.
They take turns keeping vigil against wild beasts, bandits and mysterious places. The driver is an honest middle-aged man with dry white hair. Uriel also had to guard against him. It’s not surprising that there are all kinds of people among the adventurers. Mortals can also kill the mysterious ones. The carriage stopped and went through a wilderness.
There are not only redwoods in the redwood forest, but the green is submerged in the torrent of golden and red torches, and is dispensable. Smoke marked the direction of the village, but the first place they arrived was the fishermen's inn on the river bank.
This is an inn for mortals. There are few mysterious creatures in Eastman's countryside, and if the owner only accepted adventurers, he would quickly go bankrupt. As the carriage approached the small house made of firewood, stones and thick straw, two men emerged from behind the fence, holding spears and iron forks.
Roma also saw them. In fact, her eyes were sharper than Uriel's. Archers need excellent eyesight, this is not a mysterious advantage, it is the foundation of the profession. "These people came to welcome us and brought weapons," she said.
"Perhaps they are wary of bandits." Uriel told her, "There are few travelers who don't take boats near the Golden Bird River. As long as there is a horse under their crotch, these people will be worried."
"I think these people wanted to rob. We didn't ride horses, but took carriages," she pointed out. "Speaking of which, why do you have to take the car?"
Is it my fault? You're being targeted. Uriel couldn't figure out what was going on in her little head all day long. At this time, pursuing speed is the last resort, and hiding your golden retriever is the most important thing. "No matter who they think we are, it's always good for you to show less face. Besides, these are just mortals. There's nothing to be afraid of if there are a few more people."
"I'm not afraid of adventurers either!" the little lion declared.
The truth is not that absurd. The villagers are not here to rob. Attacking two mysterious creatures head-on is something that no ordinary person can do. Uriel thought to himself, of course, they might not think that there are two mysterious creatures enjoying the journey in the carriage. The person holding the iron fork should approach the carriage first and force it to stop. The man with the spear was stronger but followed behind.
"Outlander. What do you do? Where do you come from?" "Tiecha" asked.
"I'm just a traveler. I want to go from Six Finger Castle to Knight's Bay. The ticket is too expensive, so I can only walk slowly." The coachman relayed what Uriel taught him.
"How many of you are there? Open the door."
"Three people, and a child." The little lion barked, his eyes rolling. She thought of it as a fun game.
"Want to spend the night?"
"It depends. If your beds are harder than the wood of the carriage, we will leave immediately."
"Why choose? There are always fleas in the feathers." Despite this mutter, they lowered their weapons. "Brace, you go take care of the horse." "Iron Fork" is older, and Blaise seems to be his son.
These two people are not villagers, but the innkeepers. It takes courage to open a shop on the river bank outside the village, and it is understandable to be vigilant about every customer. Arriving in front of the hotel, Roma jumped out of the car, and the owner's attitude became more relaxed. A young man, an old rickshaw driver, and a little girl make up less than two people. "There will be hot water at night." Brace put the iron fork on the wooden stand, turned around and went out again.
"But we charge by the bucket." The store owner added.
"There is the Golden Bird River outside the door." Roma said, "What do I need hot water for?"
"When you have a stomachache in the middle of the night, you will know how to use it." The store owner snorted, "My wife broke her body and died. The body was buried in the redwood forest."
"Human beings are so fragile." The little lion commented.
"Fragile is a relative term. As I was praying to Gaia to save this damn inn, the wind blew down the sign. My daughter and I were pinned underneath, but the old thing survived and she ran to her mother. There. I really don’t know how that woman would curse me.”
"What's the use of cursing you? Her son still has to be looked after by you. If you ask me, it's enough for her to pray for you."
"As if you understand." "Steel Fork" seemed a little annoyed.
"Maybe it's because I will also become a mother in the future." Roma said, "It's always right to think in advance. At least it's better to be too early than too late." Her words made the store owner turn around without saying a word and cook a pot. Boiling porridge. No matter how she spoke next, the other person would only respond with the syllables "um" and "ah". The funny thing is that the little lion didn't think anything was wrong.
Uriel wanted her to shut up, but interrupting her seemed suspicious, so he took out the newspaper himself. His wish soon came true. Brace suddenly returned to the hotel and greeted his father: "We have guests again! They came by boat."
"Why don't the gods want to do it in order when they answer my prayers?" "Tiecha" muttered. He picked up the thing again and suddenly looked back at the apprentice. "Follow me and give her hot water for free. You said you were going to Knight's Cove? No one without weapons would dare to go so far."
He knew what he was worried about. "What if it's just a guest?"
"Free is free. Not for you. I love kids."
Uriel had nothing to worry about Roma, unless she wanted to get the bow back from Sauron the Ring. A ship floated up the Kinque River. Its sail was big enough to serve as a mouth rag for the steel giant. When the girl statue on the bow of the ship approached them, the strong wind blowing almost blew the entire inn into the sky. It is the largest and most luxurious ship Uriel has ever seen, and it cannot even compare with the "Mermaid Song" at the Six Fingers Fort Pier. If he could take Roma on board the ship, he would surely be able to reach Knight's Bay before dark... But this was just a delusion. What is more eye-catching than the statue is a colorful flag on the bow. This is the ship of the Oath Keepers, and Strigoi has a place in it. It could only carry his enemies.
"I never expected that such a noble guest would be welcomed here." He blurted out, only then did he realize his rudeness.
"Tiecha" laughed. "Even if I am an enemy, I will feel honored!" He put down his weapon and stared at the exquisite paintings on the side of the ship. "This guy is a passing whale and can't swim into the shallow water."
Only then did Uriel realize that the redwood forest was not the Yellow Hat Avenue, and it was impossible for a ship of this size to stop on such a small river bank. Sure enough, the Oath Keepers ship slowed down twenty yards away, but didn't stop at all. The majestic sail gradually drifted away and disappeared into the river bend. He felt relieved. "Looks like I'm going to earn a few buckets of hot water for nothing."
"As long as you stay here, I will make a lot of money." "Tiecha" said, "Only the church can stay in the village. Other hotels are not suitable for children. Well, she will no longer be a child." The second part of the sentence The apprentice quite agreed.
