Chapter 14 Departure
Rick didn't know Linda's intention, but he chose to believe in the friendly little girl.
Besides, he also heard about Siva. If Siva's companions had been missing for a month in the Land of Death, then he thought that the mission had actually ended before it even started. Staying in the Land of Death for a long time would not be a good thing even if he had money.
"Protect us for two weeks... is it a coincidence?" Qin Lun's eyes flashed. They were Torrell who entered yesterday morning. It was noon the next day. A complete natural day passed, which means they only had two weeks left to stay.
Rick said that if he only stayed in the Land of Death for a week, it was automatically filtered by Qin Lun. If I really couldn't find Ilisten in the Land of Death and had not received the plot mission, there was no need for him, Hill, Rand to go back to the Baldur Gate, and let them take Siver back alone.
"Hill, what do you think?" Qin Lun asked quietly on the team channel.
"Didn't we make a decision long ago? No matter whether it is a coincidence or not, as long as they are not from the Ambori Church, that is the best choice." Hill's words finally helped Qin Lun make up his mind.
"Do you have only these three people? When will you be able to set off?" Qin Lun raised his head and looked at the three people with a smile.
"Yes, we only have three people. If we sign the agreement, we can set out at any time. We have prepaid a batch of materials to the mercenary union." Rick said cautiously, "But it is best to ask employer Sever Hulan to confirm with us in person."
"Of course, I'll take you up there." Qin Lun bowed and spread his hands towards the stairs leading to the upper floor of the tavern.
...
"Winnie, do you feel something is wrong?" The three young men from the Rose Mercenary Group came out of the Oak Barrel Tavern, all with a hint of doubt on their faces.
The process of signing an employment contract with Severe was very smooth. The noble child, who was called Taser, was finally as motivated by the president of the Chamber of Commerce, quickly checked the contract and completed the procedures with them.
But what made them feel was that the three people around Sifu were not as circulated by mercenaries, but were guards who came to Teser's hometown. It can be seen that Sifu was not as majestic as the head of the family in front of them.
"It's unknown yet, but I can't see any problem." The female mage wearing a hood no longer had her previous mischievous appearance, and said in a pondering voice, "Sifol Hulan doesn't look like she was kidnapped by those three people, and the contract only requires us to protect the employer's complete personal life and find their missing companions, and there is no text trap."
"No matter what, we only recognize Sivour as the employer anyway. If there is anything wrong with those three people, at most we can escort Sivour back to the Baldur Gate immediately." The tall knight gave a final summary to the two companions.
The three of the Rose Knights were very capable in their work. After sending the contract back to the mercenary union for safekeeping, they returned to the Oak Barrel Tavern with their supplies.
There are ten strong wildebeests at the entrance of the tavern. This creature is gentle and has a mixed recipe. If you have a little grassroots in the wild, you don’t need to be fed specifically. Compared with horses raised by humans, it is not as fast as possible, but has better endurance and more weight-bearing. It is the best partner for long-distance travel.
There were seven of the ten wildebeests for them to ride, and two were pulled by a caravan containing the supplies used for this adventure, and the last wildebeest was used for replacement.
These supplies include food and water for seven people for two weeks, tents and two tins of tin, as well as simple cooking utensils, insect repellents and a small amount of medicine. The real wild adventure is different from what many people imagine. The more you prepare, the smoother the itinerary.
Sometimes, adventurers will encounter deserted situations for hundreds of miles, and there will be harassment from various wild creatures. At this time, it is a problem to pick some dry firewood at night to make fire. Carrying a little tinder can deter the wild beasts.
The seemingly bulky cookware and tent are even more indispensable. Adventurers in the world of Torrell often travel thousands of kilometers. Except for the apostles like Qin Lun, no one can say that they are not ill and do not dare to be sick.
When the God of Plague is showing its might, the gods with powerful divine power will retreat, not to mention ordinary people on the ground. Especially the adventurers with strong combat power, if they are really sick, it just confirms the saying: illness comes like a mountain of falling, and illness goes like a thread.
Eating cooked food and sleeping well are the biggest skills for adventurers and mercenaries to survive in the wild.
Qin Lun and others were also very happy to see that the Rose Mercenary Group was so capable, and they saved a lot of time. After inviting the Mercenary Group to spend lunch, they set off directly in the afternoon. After about half an hour, they passed the east gate of the Bald Gate and began to go to the Land of Death.
"You seem to be a little doubtful. Since you have become temporary partners, I think you can ask me openly!" Qin Lun drove his horse close to Rick and said sincerely.
After leaving the Baldur Gate, Qin Lun and his friends really relaxed. Such a difficult force in the Anboli Church put some pressure on them.
Rick and his two companions looked at each other and became silent. The female mage, Winnie, did not ride a horse, sat on the seat of the caravan, and looked up at Qin Lun.
"You don't look like Mr. Severe's escort."
Because the wind in the wilderness was strong, the female mage's face was no longer covered with a veil, a melon-shaped face, a cherry mouth and a pair of big peach blossom eyes, which was indeed naturally charming. However, her nose was small and delicate, and a pointed arc was slightly raised at the top, inexplicably making a face that was originally charming and charming, and her charming temperament was destroyed, like a naughty and beautiful girl who would never grow up.
"Philal and the others are indeed not my guards, but friends who have worked with me once." When Sife heard the voice, he rushed from behind. It would be better for him to answer such questions involving trust between the two parties.
"You don't seem to be close, why should you pay to help Mr. Severe go to the Land of Death to find companions, or do you have other plans in the Land of Death?" Lago, the thief among the mercenary, asked a sharp question.
"We have no other plans in the Land of Death. As shown in the Mercenary Contract, we are looking for our missing companions." Qin Lun shook his head and smiled bitterly, "Sifer said that we had a cooperative relationship with him. In fact, Sifer organized the expedition team to the Land of Death, and there were two members of us who were our common partners."
"Are you talking about Sever's missing companion and your companion?" Knight Rick and his two companions looked at each other in surprise. This conclusion really made them unexpected.
"Yes, there are only three people we really want to look for, one is the old butler of Mason of the Hulan family, the other two are our common friends with Sivo, an elf druid, and the other... is Ms. Lauvita's Templar Knight." Qin Lun simply told him.
The three mercenaries in front of him are all very strong. Instead of causing misunderstandings and delaying actions in the later stage, it is better to make it clear now. Anyway, this does not conflict with their mercenary contract.
"The believer of the Elf Druid and Ms. Lauvita? This combination... is so funny!" The thief Lago showed a strange expression and said with a smile, "You have so much trouble to find them. Those two should be great beauties, right?"
"You want to care?" Seeing his companion showing a despicable expression, the female mage covered her face and knocked the thief's head with a "bang".
"We believe you, but you should know that no matter what the inside story is, the Rose Mercenary Group will only follow the contract." Rick did not watch the two companions fight, and said seriously, "We will help you find the missing companions, but the only object of protection is the employer."
"Of course, except for Sivo, the three of us do not need your protection." Qin Lun showed a sunny smile, coupled with the handsome appearance of the moonlight elf, which made the three mercenaries stunned.
Qin Lun's words were just polite. In fact, their purpose was the same. As long as they were not divided into two teams, if a fight occurred, the Rose Mercenary Group would not be able to just watch the wall. Otherwise, if it was reported, they would really not have to do mercenaries.
"Yo, my face turned red, my face turned red." Lago suddenly pointed at his female companion and shouted. Everyone turned their heads to look, and they found that there were two blushings on the face of the mage Winnie.
"You're dead!" Winnie blushed, gritted her teeth and added a flying technique to herself, floating from the carriage.
"Crack, you're really here!" Lago's face changed, he turned over and rolled down from the horse's back, and ran to the distance. For a moment, the speed was actually two points faster than the galloping horse.
"Please forgive my two companions." Seeing such a shameful internal strife, even for the steady Knight was a little embarrassed, but he quickly came back to his senses and asked, "If this is the case, why didn't you explain it clearly before in the Baldur Gate?"
When Qin Lun and the other two were all looking at Rick's question, they all saw that the Rose Mercenary Group was not large in number, but everyone was not simple. Especially the leader of the Knight Rick, who was steady and meticulous in his mind, was at the forefront of the questions he asked.
"That's because my identity is a bit special and is not suitable for publicizing it at the Baldur Gate." Qin Lun said in a deep thought, "The only thing I can guarantee is that my identity will not hinder this commission. As for the future, it has little to do with you."
Rick nodded, cleverly not asking about Qin Lun's identity. As long as it has nothing to do with the mission, it would be a bit inappropriate for him to find out the background of others. After all, the employer did not ask the three people in the Rose Mercenary Group to find out their identities.
Seeing that Rick had eliminated most of his doubts, Qin Lun stopped talking.
"Huh?" Just as he wanted to drive his horse back to Hill and the others, he suddenly frowned and looked up at the air. A trace of silver-white light flashed in his right eye.
"What's wrong?" Rick, who was beside him, was very sensitive. He immediately looked up and saw a small black dot in the sky. However, he quickly relaxed and said to Qin Lun with a smile, "It's too small, not like the 'eyes' released by the tracker."
