Lord Highlander

   Chapter 942 928. Please take me there

  Sia, who was wearing a plain dress, had a hint of pleading on her delicate face.

  Every time I see her blue eyes, I think of the sunny sea, the sun, the beach...

   I don’t know what kind of magic she has cast. The light green scales on her body have completely disappeared, her skin is delicate, white and smooth, and her fish tail has completely disappeared. She is wearing a thin nightgown, and the outline of her legs can be clearly seen.

  Suldak asked with some doubts:

   "Siya, what's the matter?"

  Sia lowered her head slightly, her green algae-colored long hair was still wet, and some small water droplets were still flowing down from the tip of her hair.

  The long, wet hair clings to his forehead, making his face even more beautiful.

   "Viscount Suldak, I can go to Tarapa with you..." Xi Ya said bravely.

  Her imperial language should be learned from Signa, with the unique slang of Hailansa City, when people from other places say "Tarapagan", the ending sound will never rise.

   "Do you want to perform missions with us?" Suldak asked.

   "Yeah!" Xi Ya replied in a positive tone.

  Suldak found it a little inconceivable that a Janna mermaid volunteered to go out with him on a mission.

  When Suldak said goodbye to Signa and Nika just now, Siya was sitting next to her, and Suldak did not avoid her. Now that she knocked on the door and came to find her, I feel a little regretful...

"...This is a matter of the Luthor Legion, it has nothing to do with you!" Standing at the door of the room, Suldak said to Sia: "In addition, this mission is also dangerous. I can't take care of you during the mission. This is not a simple field experience or adventure..."

  Xia stared wide-eyed, and said very seriously: "If necessary, I can join your cavalry battalion, and then I have something to do with it."

Seeing Suldak reaching out to close the door, she quickly squeezed half of her body to the door frame, and said stubbornly: "Do you think I'm a burden? I'm a weaver who graduated from the Seven Realms Sea Witch Academy." Or, with the ability to manipulate water elements, I thought I could help."

  She raised her pointed chin, revealing her delicate neck and collarbone.

  Suldak scratched his head in distress. He didn't want to discuss with a Janna mermaid whether she was worth...

  Suldak said directly:

"If you just want to leave, I can take you to Bena City and give you an airship ticket for Ignace City. I heard that the airport terminal of Ignace City is built on a 100-meter-high sea On the cliff, as long as you arrive at the airport pier, you can jump into the Endless Sea with a single leap, of course, you have to figure out how to return to the Seventh Sea, and you may have to swim thousands of kilometers..."

  Siya was taken aback for a moment, but she didn't expect Suldak to say that.

  Surdak then added:

   "I originally thought that I would do this when I brought Signa and Nika back to High Lansa City after the weather warmed up. Since you are a little homesick, I can take you to Ignas City this time."

  Siya never thought that Suldak had thought of sending her home long ago.

  But once the Jana Sea Clan has an obsession in their hearts, they want to complete this matter. For them, this is an equivalent exchange... The Jana Sea Clan does not need charity.

   "I want to help you complete a mission in exchange for an airship ticket to Ignace City. I think I need to show my worth. Please believe that I can help you." Xi Ya said stubbornly.

   "...I believe in your strength, but this mission is fine, you don't need to take risks there." Suldak patted the girl Jana on the shoulder, he didn't expect her shoulder to be so slippery.

  He was slightly taken aback, and then calmly withdrew his hand.

  Sia was also blushing, and her eyes were a little blurred... The moment the fingertips of that hand touched her shoulder just now, Siya felt an electric shock, as if an electric arc had crawled across her heart, and her whole heart felt a little numb.

  Suldak felt that the atmosphere was a bit wrong, and even Selina, who was packing her luggage, looked towards the door.

He hurriedly said: "I can take you back to the city of Bena. If you do what you say, you can leave the town of Dodan with us tomorrow morning, but it will take a week to ride on horseback. Land route, and without access to water, are you sure you can do it?"

"I can."

  Siya puffed her mouth, and three thin fish gills were exposed on the left and right sides of her chin.

  Suldak nodded and said: "Okay, see you tomorrow morning, I want to use the little time left, you may be able to say goodbye to Signa and Nika..."

   Clearly looking down on mermaids! Xi Ya bowed her knees and turned to leave a little depressed...

  …

  Suldak returned to the room, Selena had already stepped into the steaming bathtub and sank her body.

  Louching on the pillow next to the bathtub, she picked up a cup of hot milk and drank it in one go.

  The winter in Dodan is very cold, and being able to take a bath in the bathtub at home is definitely an addictive enjoyment.

There is only one wall between the washroom and the bedroom. Suldak watched the mermaid lady running back to his room "Teng Tenteng" outside the window, and then turned around and lay down on the big soft and thick bed, with his head resting on his hands and his legs stretched out. Stack the insteps together.

   "When I first arrived in the Bailin plane, I heard that Wilkes City was like spring all the year round, so I thought there was no spring in the Bailin plane." Suldak said with a self-mockery.

   "It's too far from Wilkes City..." Selena sighed.

  The bathroom door was open, and there was no hindrance to the voice during the conversation.

   "By the way, Epson and the shoemaker in the tailor shop will send over their modified miner's uniform and anti-smashing shoes tomorrow..." Suldak said.

He thought for a while and then said: "Miner's uniforms must be wear-resistant and strong. In addition, the price must be low. After all, it is an order of several thousand sets. In the future, it will be made in winter and summer and distributed once a year. Last time There are no hanging buckles for mining picks, chisels, ropes, and kettles on the sample belt, I asked him to take it back and change it, this time you should focus on the improvements in these areas.”

"The requirements for anti-smashing shoes are a little more stringent. I require stones the size of a washbasin to hit the upper of the shoe without hurting the feet. And the shoes should not be too heavy. The last time the sample was smashed by me, since we have Such a good hard armor leather material, if the leather shoemaker still can't make it this time, I will take this batch of orders to Bena City."

"Also, I entrusted Malacombe to buy a batch of mining picks mixed with lapis lazuli. When the goods arrive, you have someone use a file to sharpen the pickaxes twice. If you still file twice, the iron filings will fall off. Throw it back to him."

   "It is said that I don't need to make uniform clothing for the miners, let alone customize leather shoes for them. In fact, these are needed sooner or later, which can make the mine form a certain centripetal force and a sense of superiority."

  The sound of watering came from the bathroom, and after it subsided, Selina said:

"I know, the tailor shop owner and the leather shoemaker are complaining everywhere because of your strict requirements. If it weren't for the large order quantity and the profit for each miner's uniform and each pair of shoes, I think they would probably run away. .”

  Thinking of how Suldak threw the miner's uniform at the feet of the tailor shop owner yesterday, and they were so silent, Selina couldn't help but want to laugh.

Suldak sighed and said: "The requirements are a bit harsh, but it is also a kind of improvement for them. They don't want to stay in Dodan Town for the rest of their lives, so they have to find a way to get out of here. Then this One step is inevitable."

  Selena changed the subject: "That mermaid lady wants to leave here with you, will there be any trouble?"

  Suldak snorted: "The Luthor Legion doesn't even have this privilege on the Bailin plane, so what about garrisoning, I will bring her to Bena City safely."

Selena said casually: "I'm just worried that you will be in trouble. Originally, the relationship between you and the aristocratic circle of Wilkes City was a little tense. According to the laws of the Green Empire, every citizen cannot help slaves who have escaped. Slaves who fled outside have to report to the local security team, when you take Xiya through the portal of Wilkes City, try to be careful, so as not to be discovered by them."

"I know..." Suldak said, "Don't worry... In fact, it doesn't matter if you don't care about this kind of thing. You just help out when you meet. Since she's Cygna's friend, I can't just sit by and watch."

   "It's just... I can't go to Ignace City, I can only send her to the magic airship, and give the captain some money, and I should be able to send her back to the sea safely."

   "Thinking about it, I feel quite pitiful. She lives in the town of Dodan, just like we live alone on a desert island!"

   "Okay." Selena said.

   There was the sound of rushing water next door, probably because Selena stood up from the bathtub...

  …

  In the early morning, there was still a faint mist around Dodan Town.

   The withered and yellow grass in the distance could not be seen, and even the construction site of the Warrior Academy not far away became blurred under the mist.

  A thin layer of mist sticks to the surface, becoming thinner as it goes up.

Samira rode on a Guborian horse, and waited by the bridge at the entrance of the town with the two-headed ogre Gullitum. Although they had two bodies, they were chatting with three people. Most of the time, Gullit Tem and Brain Flower Brothers are both constantly raising arguments, as if quarrels have become part of their lives.

  Suldak was a little curious, if Gulitum found an ogre partner in the future, would the four get together to quarrel...

  Seeing that there were two people behind Suldak, the great swordsman Chester was a little surprised.

   "This is Magician Victor from the High Lansa Magic Union. He is accompanying us and is preparing to return to the High Lansa Magic Union."

   "This is Miss Siya from the Jana Sea Clan. She will return to Bena City with us, and will transfer to the magic airship to go to Ignas."

  Suldak introduced to Chester Great Swordsman.

Great Swordsman Chester nodded politely to Victor. He glanced at Miss Mermaid and had some other thoughts in his mind, so he whispered to Suldak: "How can there be Janna in Dodan Town?" Sea Clan...Dark, you really can always bring some surprises."

  Suldak smiled, without excuse.

  …

   This road is basically riding a horse during the day and resting at night.

  In order to be able to take care of Victor and Miss Mermaid Sia, Chester Swordsman did not choose to camp in the wild, but stayed in hotels in towns along the way as much as possible.

In fact, there is nothing to describe this large grassland in the winter field of the Bailin Plane. The further south you go, the less snow covers the grassland. When the group arrived at the outskirts of Wilkes City, the grassland here was still slightly pale It is cyan, not all withered and yellow.

  Wilkes City is also much warmer, so there is no need to wear thick cotton coats.

  When entering the city, Chester Great Swordsman rode his horse directly across the suspension bridge of the moat at the north city gate. The guards at the city gate stood up straight and saluted Chester Great Swordsman.

  Sia was wearing a black magician's robe at this time, with a thick hood on her head.

  Victor is also dressed in this way, but his hood is opened, and he wears a magic badge on his chest, with a serious face.

   A group of people including Samira and the two-headed ogre Gullitum, the guards passed through the city gate without any inspection at all.

  The water in the moat here is not even frozen, there is no wind, and there is no wave.

  The Great Swordsman Chester did not return to the military headquarters, but directly brought Suldak and his party to the Civic Center Square.

  …

  The streets of Wilkes City are very lively, filled with all kinds of cries, and the aroma of fried food wafts far along the street, fried chicken, fried fish, French fries...

With a tall body of more than three meters, the ogre stood in front of the fried chicken stalls. He was wearing heavy mail armor and iron plate armor pieces. He inevitably made clanking sounds when he walked, which scared those who were queuing up to buy. The fried chicken citizens dispersed one after another.

  The stall owner looked at the two-headed ogre with a ferocious face in front of him with a mournful face, unable to speak at all.

   The ogre's voice sounded like he was beating a drum, and he asked the paving owner very patiently: "How much is a fried chicken?"

   "One...one...one...a silver coin..." Stammer stammered.

   The ogre Gullitum made some calculations, took out a golden coin from the gap in his belt under his belly, threw it to the shop owner and said loudly, "Then I'll buy forty of them..."

  After speaking, he smiled at the brain flower beside him and said, "You can eat twenty, and I can eat twenty. It shouldn't be a problem, right?"

   Only when talking about eating, the ogre brothers will not quarrel, and their opinions can be easily unified.

   "...Two!" At this time, the stall owner suddenly said another sentence.

   "Two for what? I want to buy forty. He... he has twenty... I have twenty!" the ogre Gulitum yelled at the stall owner.

   "One silver coin...two!" The stall owner, who was sweating profusely from fear, finally spoke out in full.

  Put the fried whole chickens into cloth pockets, pack, pack, the stall owner stopped with embarrassment on his face.

  The two-headed ogre looked at Suldak's group who had already walked into the central square, and urged the stall owner: "Hurry up, hurry up, I'm in a hurry!"

   "There are only... thirty-two pieces of fried chicken..." the stall owner said frightened.

  Gulitum looked at the fat chickens piled up next to the oil pan, and asked, "Aren't there any more over there?"

   "Those...are just overcooked and not yet cooked." The stall owner was not so flustered when he found out that the ogre was actually reasonable.

  Gulitham waved his hands again and again, and shouted: "Put it on quickly, I don't have time to wait..."

  The stall owner packed the fried chicken, he picked up the cloth bag, and chased after Suldak's back, ignoring the stall owner...

  The stall owner yelled loudly from behind: "Customer, I haven't given you any change..."

  Gulitham didn't even look back, and rushed forward.

   Nao Hua'er turned to the stall owner and said loudly, "The rest is a tip!"

This stall owner was probably the first time he met a local tyrant who tipped more than chicken money. He took out the gold coin that was tightly held in his hand, put it in his mouth, and took a bite. The back view of the devil's departure... actually has mixed feelings.
