Chapter 95: some gossip on the road
From Tarakhan City to Loka Town, according to the normal speed of the so-called "hurried march" - that is, when you are on the road during the day, you will walk about three hours longer than the average army, only eat dry food, do not cook with fire, and do not set up camp - about It takes four days.
This is also the reason why when the barbarians invaded, the rescue team led by the former earl arrived late-the deceased former earl was very meticulous and cautious, and he would not find any loopholes for others.
Of course, the traversers don't need to be in such a hurry. They take advantage of the carriage and set off every morning. After the afternoon is almost there, they rest when there is another village. Just like a group of ordinary adventurers, there is no hurry.
It had been so long anyway, if Erica the Fraudster wanted to do something, it would have been done long ago. If she hasn't had time to do it, she certainly won't be racing against time to do it now.
Reality is not a game, there is no possibility that things have been pending until the player triggers a certain branch of the plot, and it will start immediately.
The group of them stayed overnight, and from time to time they let the old Liu, who could fly, go out for a walk, to find out if there was a bandit camp nearby, and if they found it, they would make some extra money by the way. After a few days, I got a lot of money.
"I've always had a problem." Sitting on the carriage, playing with a few sparkling gems, Lao Liu suddenly said thoughtfully, "Are there so many robbers in this world? Why do we go all the way, from time to time Can they meet? And they are so rich..."
"Actually, it shouldn't be too much." Jian Shisan said uncertainly.
Xingzhao answered bluntly: "I suggest you change your car in the afternoon, go to Wusian's car to ask questions, there are two-legged bookcases and strategy madmen, and they will definitely be able to give you the answer."
"Little Sister Xingzhao, can't you be more polite?"
"Why should I be polite to the guy who yelled, 'Where did you come from, little loli! Jian Shisan, do you believe in peace religion? Is this your child bride?'
The vicious face of Lao Liu suddenly collapsed, and he said weakly: "I drank too much and talked nonsense! It's been so many years, you're still thinking about this..."
"Why don't I care? Tell the truth after drinking."
The griffins bowed their heads in dejection, and simply formed a ball and huddled in the corner of the carriage to sleep.
He used his wings as a quilt to cover his body, but it was quite warm.
In another car, Panda and Tiger are discussing how the Lord of the Magic Sword will fight.
"I think you should use stealth to fight," Panda said. "You can turn into shadows or fog, and hide in places where others will never notice. Then suddenly shoot, sprint at three times the speed, and almost no one will be there. can react."
"This method is stable, but it's too passive. I want to fight more actively."
"Then just practice hard and try to get used to high speed as soon as possible." Panda shook his head, obviously not optimistic about this, "But to be honest, I don't think there is much hope. The acceleration of your magic sword is not the acceleration technique. It's a kind of 'changing your own time' effect, but simply 'improving your speed'. It's not easy to rely on exercise to make your reaction ability reach the point where you can adapt to three times the speed."
"Actually, you can consider finding some red dye for tigers, bleaching and dyeing the middle of the hair, and then using glue to make a horn." Horus said with a smile, rubbing his golden beard.
Tiger of course understands what he means - the red has horns and triple speed, which is a famous joke on the Internet, from the allusions of the famous character Char in the "Mobile Suit Gundam" series. One of the earliest anime mask people, he claims that no matter what the body is, as long as it is painted red and the horns are added, the speed can be tripled...
"Then do I have to change my surname to Xia?" He smiled and asked.
"Xiahuhu? It's better to change the surname Lei." Shukuang laughed and joked, "To convince people of Leihu with virtue, this is a celebrity!"
Everyone imagined the appearance of Tiger Wen Crepe's "convincing people with virtue", and couldn't help laughing.
For them, life is easy and stress-free.
But for the city defense officers and intelligence officers of Tarakhan City, the days were trembling and miserable, and it felt like a year.
After being reprimanded by the earl again, the two people who had had many conflicts in the past and are now sympathetic to each other groaned and walked down the road, like two roosters that had been defeated.
"It's strange, why can't I find any clues?" the new intelligence officer said with a sullen face, "It doesn't make sense! Whether it's a dignified legendary paladin, or a demon believer who can build a manor, it's impossible not to. Leave a clue!"
"Every hotel in the city has been checked in detail, and in the last few months, there is no one who looks like an old paladin." The city defense officer also said with a bitter face, "It really makes no sense! Among the warriors, the young and strong are still alive, and there is not a single problem. To say that this time, it can only be an old senior in a certain church who has already retired..."
The two looked at each other in dismay, kept shaking their heads, and returned to their official residences, urging their subordinates to continue their investigation.
The Count stood at the window of the study, watching them walk away, then sat back in his chair and remained silent.
After a while, he asked, "Any clues?"
"I have mobilized my lord's followers to inspect this area. Judging from the current situation, it is not necessarily a legendary paladin." There was a sharp voice in the room where there was no one else.
The count frowned and asked, "What does this mean?"
"The breath of the legendary paladin, even after a long time, I can clearly feel it. It is certain that no legendary paladin has ever come to Tarakhan City and the surrounding areas."
"Then, what's the matter with that 'scourge'?"
"I don't understand either." The voice became a little hesitant, "I went there to see it, it is indeed 'God's Scourge'. But the power seems to be weaker than the general 'God's Scourge' - My lord also faced it directly at the beginning.' Scourge', the final blow of a legendary paladin sacrificing himself, should be far more powerful than that."
The count was silent for a while, showing a little concern, and asked: "That paladin... is it coming to track me down? Will the affairs between us leak out?"
"That's a question to ask yourself."
"That's not it! Apart from myself, even my wife and son don't know the transaction between us." The count's expression calmed down again.
"I really don't know who the guy who believes in, wants to do things with me!" After a long time, he said to himself with gloomy eyes, "If you let me know, I promise to make him regret why he lives in this world!"
