Son of the Olden Days

Chapter 164: The night is coming

The dark period is midsummer in 717, with thunder shining sun, hot and no wind.

It's another day of departure.

"Unexpectedly, the life and death relationship between us... is so fragile that it can end with a few fodder." Sol looked at the mule brother who was hiding behind the little daughter of the farmer's family, and his tone was a little sad. This guy was obviously short. Tian has been bought by the little girl with a few handfuls of fodder.

"Yeoh~Yeoh!" The mule poked out the mule head cautiously from behind the little girl. I acted coquettishly and rolled towards a seven or eight-year-old boy, just to escape your clutches today, so did I. It's not easy, the mule brother obviously has some emotion.

At first, I brought a mule on the road, but it was just for fun to relieve the loneliness in the wilderness. Now that Brother Mule has his own pursuit, Saul no longer insists on it.

The farmer's family enthusiastically entertained Sol for a simple meal, so Sol gave them his mule brother before leaving, hoping that they would take good care of the ambitious mule and horse.

For an ordinary farmer, a mule and horse is not a small labor force, and it is a good hand to grind wheat and pull carts. For this reason, the farmer's family enthusiastically sent Sol to the door, standing in a row and watching him away.

"Damn, I was opposed to keeping such a thing at the beginning. See it, it's a white-eyed wolf, oh no, white-eyed mule. What kind of feelings can be between humans and animals, and it's not the boss between you and me."

As soon as he started walking in the wilderness, Timo scolded angrily. He kept emphasizing that the true and unforgettable relationship was just like between him and Sol, almost dispelling Sol's disgusting enthusiasm.

The next journey didn't change much, and the general direction was still toward the southern main city of Odrensa. At this time, Sol is still more than 30 territories away from the main city of Odrensa, and there are more than a dozen territories away from Pandora, the relay point halfway.

Just as Sol and Timo started their journey again and opened their hearts to each other, a group of people also rushed in.

This group of people obviously have extraordinary temperament, no matter how they dress or talk, they seem a little mysterious, and they just keep their heads down all the way.

Their bright armors have blinded them all the way, but the most noticeable thing is their strength. I don't know how many eyes they have attracted along the way.

This is a team that has been active in Dark Cross Tier B missions all the year round, the Third Squadron of Dark Cross, they came this time to finish the mission that the seventh team was almost wiped out last time.

The configuration of the team is still the captain of the heavy shield, a man with a square face named Jerodir, who looks a little rigid. There is an additional deputy captain, a swordsman named Walliston, with flowing hair, but unfortunately his face is as square as the captain.

There were eleven people in the team, seven men and four women, five more than the six in the seventh team. One of them is a little girl from the Emilton family who was invited to assist in the task, named Lorna, a third-order magician.

The remaining ten people are all team members, with a heavy shield player, three swordsmen, three wizards, dark archers and summoners, and one illusionist each.

In terms of tactics, regardless of the scale of the battle, the captain is responsible for attracting most of the damage, and the three swordsmen switch between offensive and guarding, while ensuring the safety of the wizard.

The dark archers who have blessed the high-level eagle eye technique will be responsible for wandering around the team, responsible for blocking or cooperating with the wizards to gain a long-range advantage. As for the summoner and the illusionist, they also have their own methods and areas to take care of.

In terms of strength ranks, the main and deputy captains of the ten are ranked fifth, and the rest are all fourth ranks.

Such a team, even if it wants to destroy a territory with a main city, can be said to be easy and without pressure. However, when they arrived at Kayin City in Candela Territory, the team suddenly stopped.

They received a mission assignment from the Dark Cross in early summer. They did not receive it by themselves, but directly assigned it. Although there is no clear time limit for such a task, it is clearly an urgent task that must be paid attention to.

So the squadron reached Pandor City directly by teleportation, and then marched all the way south. It took just over a month to arrive at Kayin City in Candela Territory, which is only one territory away from the ruined ancient capital of Carlot. That's it.

The target of this mission, a young man named Thor Drake, is also approaching Candela's territory.

This is the result obtained by the little Tier 3 girl Lorna in the team. Through her natural magic affinity, she succeeded in receiving the magic mark left by Lilian, the seventh squad mage of Dark Cross.

At this time, Lorna turned her head and looked toward the south, and she could see a small green flame representing the young man of Sol, slowly approaching Candela, brightly and darkly.

Retracting her gaze, Lorna fell on the bed tiredly.

The interior decoration of this hotel room can only be regarded as ordinary and tidy, but Lorna can still feel a sense of warmth brought by a small space, unlike the spacious mansion of her own home, which is only empty every time her father is not at home. Icy.

She has just passed the coming-of-age ceremony, and at the age of less than fifteen, she already has a soft figure.

Long smooth light blue hair that reaches the waist, big clear eyes that can be sharp and charming, a small bridge of nose and a small moist mouth, coupled with impeccable white and delicate skin, the beautiful and outstanding pedigree of the aristocratic family for generations She got a good inheritance here.

It is said that her mother has one-third of the sea descent, and this blue hair is inherited from her mother.

People always like to judge the affinity of magic elements by hair color, so Lorna was often mistaken for the water magician in the past, but unfortunately what she has mastered is some relatively unpopular natural affinity.

It can be seen that people always have their own troubles, no matter what social status you have, there are always various troubles.

Lorna's biggest worry at the moment is the recent decline of the family, after all, it is not easy to return from prosperity to desertedness.

But this is not the main reason. Lorna is actually not afraid of hardship, and even if the family fails to squeeze into the twenty-four seats of the council, the family will not be far away.

She just didn’t want to see her father who was holding on to the family’s glory and not letting go. His health seemed to be getting worse and worse recently. It seems that since his brother died in the secret realm and his mother left one after another, his life has become more and more pleasing. not enough

Turning over and sitting up, Lorna changed into a loose dress, and slowly rubbed her stockings off her slender and tight legs. Then gently stepped on the smooth and delicate white ankles on the small round stool, and began to treat the blood blisters on the soles of his feet.

This forced march for more than a month was far from what ordinary people could bear, but Lorna never complained.

As for the specific target of this crusade, although Lorna is one of the few people who have seen the description of the mission, she hasn't seen whether the opponent is a human or a devil, and what kind of ability she has.

But that has nothing to do with herself. She has a clear position of herself in this mission, and she probably played a role in scouting the enemy. As for combat, if the entire squadron can't handle it, a small third-tier will not change much.

It's not that Lorna doesn't want to do more. If the task is completed beautifully, she will get a higher evaluation. Although it may not help the family's plight, this is the only thing she can do at present.

It's just that in such a scene, it should not be my turn to express any opinions.

"Boom~Boom" the door of the room was knocked suddenly.

Lorna stood up and adjusted her dress, then opened the door suspiciously, and saw the female mage Serena standing outside the door.

When we came to the captain's room, there were four people sitting at the table, including Lorna, all of whom had seen the task description.

This seems to be a meeting about pre-war deployment? Lorna was a little flattered to be invited to participate with her own little strength.

The four of them were a little silent for a while, Lorna kept the etiquette quietly, and suddenly noticed that the hands of the deputy captain Valiston and the female mage Serena were clasped together under the table. Oh, this is obviously a couple.

Turning to look at Captain Jerodir, he is sternly bowing his head in thought. A gold coin on the back of the hand keeps turning around on the back of the finger, but it will not fall off. There is a rigorous beauty brought by repeated regular movements.

Oh, this was obviously the captain's habit of thinking, Lorna judged.

"Ah...cough, I asked you not to watch juggling. Let's talk about it. What are your thoughts and opinions about this mission? Feel free to say what you want." Captain Gerrodier saw the other three people staring at his gold coin performance. , Coughed twice.

When this question was asked, Lorna frowned secretly, because this question was destined to have no answer, or that no matter how the four of them guessed, they might not get more than the description of the task.

Seeing some cold spots, captain Gerrodier was also a little helpless. To be honest, this was really the most nonsense task he had ever taken. The task description also marked a few words in bold red, which seemed extremely dangerous.

Suspected? Is that right? How dangerous is extreme danger? How to face it? Really a ghost knows.

At present, the only thing that can be used as a reference is the sacrifice of the seventh team. Faced with such a team alone, to be honest, even the fifth-tier Gerrodier himself dare not say that he is absolutely crushed.

A battle is often complex and changeable, and the competition of pure strength is only one aspect. In addition to observation and judgment, the grasp of opportunities, the cards of their own means, and too many reasons, the balance of victory is always swinging.

Sometimes it is because of ignoring a tiny point, which finally brings the whole face to collapse.

Therefore, the whole team suddenly stopped at Kayin City, and the target was also actively approaching here. It is said that a young man who was still a Tier 1 at the time had to use a squadron to encircle and suppress. This in itself is not a funny joke. .

Maybe the seventh team just rushed all the people directly, and finally ended in pain.

The four people at the table began to speak enthusiastically, complementing each other, and conjecturing together. However, the four people participating in the meeting are very clear that all guesses will always be just guesses before they actually see and face them.

Seeing that the atmosphere was almost over, Captain Gerrodier told the real purpose of this temporary meeting.

"Uh... I heard that the other party is just an ordinary young man about fifteen years old. Maybe Miss Lona from our side can go there first..., uh, I mean, try to get in touch with the other party first, and see if you can get it. What useful judgment."

Captain Jero Dir froze, awkwardly and tactfully revealing his thoughts.

This was undoubtedly a very dangerous step, and putting the burden of the team on the shoulders of a little girl was not in line with Dark Cross's usual killing style, and Jerodier felt embarrassed.

A gleam of light flashed through Lorna's eyes. It turned out that she was here waiting for herself when she invited herself to the meeting.

"Of course, this is just a suggestion. If Miss Lorna feels dangerous, she can refuse, we can fully understand it." Jerodier added in due course, and the others hurriedly agreed and nodded.

"No, I'm willing to take a risk. I will contact him in Windyu Town, and even try to form an adventure team with him, go to the Wailing Lake outside Windyu Town to face powerful enemies together, and take the opportunity to try his battle. strength."

"Then I will come to Kayin City with him, when you receive my news and start doing it, how about it?" Lorna smiled confidently, showing a soft and elegant smile.
