messenger from the wasteland

Chapter 143 This is (knocking on the blackboard)

On the Loftov Plain, three carriages were traveling unhurriedly on the road, the wheels of the carriage creaked, and the wind blew the trees and grass on the plain, making a reassuring sound.

The Silver Sword team sat leisurely in their respective carriages. Dwarf John took a wine jug from his waist, uncorked it and took a big gulp into his mouth, then wiped his mouth with satisfaction.

He would drink "a little" wine from time to time, um, "a little" for him, God knows why there is so much wine in his flagon, maybe it is a piece of space equipment.

The lizard man Jill sat quietly beside him, holding a clean handkerchief and wiping a short knife in his hand. He loves cleaning very much, which can be seen from the shiny blade he polished, too. Because of this, he didn't like to sit with dwarves.

Glancing at the unscrupulous dwarf beside him, Jill sighed, turned sideways and sat a little further away.

Lily is obediently holding a magic book and sitting in another carriage. She likes reading magic books very much, which makes her very knowledgeable about magic. She even knows some very advanced magic formulas, but she cannot use them because of insufficient magic power. .

As for Lorna, she was driving the carriage with two dark circles under her eyes. In the past few days, because of the supervision of the team members, she never once harassed the client's entourage, um, that is Chu.Excessive depression made her unable to sleep at night. On the third day of departure, she hadn't slept for two nights.

Mann was lying on a carriage in the middle and taking a nap. It was rare to see the sun in the sky today. The winter sunshine is always called a gift from the gods by the people in the mainland, so it should be cherished.

As for how to cherish it, what better way than to lie in the sun and take a long sleep?

Mann was in a deep sleep, his mouth was drooling, even the bumps of the carriage couldn't disturb his sweet dreams.Seeing his smirk, he probably dreamed that he was lying on piles of gold coins again.

The person sitting next to him glanced at him for the first time, shook his head helplessly, and wiped the drool at the corner of his mouth with a wicked cloth.

Chu didn't want his saliva to be left on the carriage she was sitting in.

Originally, everyone thought that this commission or business route would be spent safely like a trip.

But at noon on the third day, the Silver Sword team seemed to have noticed something strange.

At noon that day, everyone parked their carriages on the side of the road to rest. Dwarf John lit a bonfire and sat by the fire boasting about his cooking skills. I can't walk anymore.

But obviously, the other members of the team didn't take it seriously. They had been traveling together for so long, so they naturally knew about John's situation. He always put alcohol in everything.

Perhaps this is a necessary seasoning for dwarves, but for ordinary people, it should not be acceptable to use wine as water.

If the dragon could not walk when he smelled his food, he should be drunk.

Lizardman Jill caught a few hares and came back to make barbecue. As usual, Mage Lily will cook.

Lily is the only one among them who can make food for humans to eat. Although she looks a little weak, she is an adventurer after all, and she will not be as shameless as an ordinary girl.

She cooked a few rabbits very neatly, and after the meat was roasted, the faint smell of meat soon permeated the path.

Mann was immediately attracted and prepared to sit down and eat together. At this moment, Lorna, who had been paying attention to Chu, finally couldn't bear it and asked the question she had been wanting to ask two days ago.

"Isn't she coming to eat?" Lorna pointed to Chu who was sitting not far away.

"Oh." Mann shrugged and said indifferently, "She doesn't need it."

As he spoke, he picked up a baked hare and took a bite.

"Well, it smells so good."

Mann, who was focused on the food, didn't notice that the members of the Silver Sword team had weird expressions on their faces.

Lorna didn't mention that they hadn't noticed yet, and after thinking about it carefully, she realized that Chu didn't seem to have eaten anything for three whole days.

Generally speaking, even the most hungry lizardmen would not go without food for such a long time, let alone just an ordinary human at first glance.

At the beginning, it must not have been treated unfairly.

However, Mann is the client after all. Even though they had some doubts in their hearts, the members of the Silver Sword team finally endured it and did not ask any questions.

Until the night of this day.

At nightfall, the team stopped again.Because there is still some way to the nearest supply city, they simply set up a campsite, lit a bonfire and prepared to sleep on the roadside for a night.

They still didn't eat at the beginning of the dinner, and the members of the Silver Sword who discovered this all kept silent tacitly, which made the dinner much quieter than usual.Mann also seemed to feel something different, but he didn't know what happened.

After resting after dinner, the few of them were going to sleep, Mann said with a smile and waved at Chu.

"Chu, then please keep watch tonight."

"En." Chu Yong E made a hoarse voice, nodded flatly, and walked to the side to find a place to watch the night.

She doesn't need to sleep, so the task of vigil has always been given to her.

But the Silver Sword team didn't know this. They looked at each other and saw a trace of solemnity in each other's eyes.

Just like eating, they found out after thinking about it that the task of vigil for three consecutive nights was assigned to Chu, which meant that they hadn't slept for three consecutive nights on the first day of the new year.

Even a physically powerful adventurer can't stand such torture.

Not being allowed to eat or sleep, this is no longer unfair treatment, it is clearly abuse.Even if they were Mann's followers at first, they couldn't stand it anymore, and it would kill people.

But Chu's plain expression made them even more nervous. This meant that Chu was used to this kind of treatment, or that Chu didn't dare to show his fatigue and pain, for fear of being punished more severely by Mann?

The four members of the Silver Sword team who had figured it out in their brains gave each other a serious look, and went back to their resting places without making a sound.

In the evening, Mann fell asleep, sleeping soundly in his sleeping bag, and he didn't notice the slight sound not far from him.

The members of the Silver Sword team all got up, they sat around together, frowning and discussing what they saw and heard today.

"You should have seen it during the day." Dwarf John folded his hands on his chest, sat cross-legged on the ground, and blew his beard: "I hope I'm not the only one who has such thoughts."

"That follower is being abused."

There is a dangerous light in the eyes of Jill the lizardman. Until the last era, the lizardmen were an enslaved race with a history of blood and tears.So in their eyes, any form of slavery and abuse is unacceptable.

"I don't know for sure, but I feel the same way."

Lily held her staff in both hands, pursed her lips, carefully glanced at Mann who was lying not far away, and whispered.

"I originally thought he was a good person to get along with. I didn't expect such a young child to..."

Mann was only twelve or thirteen, a child even to Lily, the youngest in the squad.

"You know people, you know your face, but you don't know your heart, Lily." Lorna pressed the hilt of her sword at her waist, and gave her answer in a cold voice.

"We should help that follower."

"What about the mission?" Lizardman Jill asked. If they did this, the client would probably unilaterally cancel the mission.

"It's nothing more than a few months without drinking." Dwarf John knocked on his flagon and grinned: "Just bear with it and pass."

The lizardman closed his eyes. It is usually the calmest one in the team, but this time, it wanted to choose to be impulsive.

It opened its eyes again, nodded and answered: "I agree."

"I agree too." Lily stated her position in a low voice.

"Yes." Lorna replied heavily: "Then I'll go and talk to that follower, so that we can have a showdown later."

"Okay, I'll leave it to you." No one else in the team objected.

Lorna took a deep breath, stood up, and walked towards Chu who was standing on the hillside in the distance.

Finally being able to talk to this long-awaited person, she was somewhat excited. Although the situation in front of her was grim, she still couldn't help thinking that maybe after her hero rescued the beauty this time, the other party would fall in love with her uncontrollably .I may have a few excuses, but with the other party's insistence, I have no choice but to accept it.After that, the two will fall in love, and after a period of epic love, they will enter the palace of marriage together.

On the wedding night, she will take off the last cover for herself and reveal everything to herself...
"Hmm." Thinking of the last step, Lorna covered her nose, stood at the foot of the hill, covered her chest and bent down.

She felt a little heat in her nose.

Calm down, Lorna, now you have to calm down, solve the problem in front of you first, and save her from the scary boy is the most important thing.

Thinking of these in her heart, Lorna straightened up again, looked firmly at the figure on the uphill, and walked up.

ps: People are outside during the day, so the update is a bit late, I'm sorry everyone.
