Chapter 149 On the Road

The sky is a little gloomy. {《》 }(,《》)

The wind mixed with water vapor passes through the forest, bringing coolness.

"Boy, it might be raining."

Old Walker narrowed his eyes, carefully observed the thick clouds above his head, and then came to Rhodes and spoke. Hearing his reminder, Rhodes also stopped. He looked at the road leading to the depths of the mountains in front of him, and saw no trace of human habitation wherever he could see.

"It probably will take how long."

"Maybe it will take at least half a day to one day."

"It's getting late, so it's too risky to keep moving forward. Let Shanna and the others go nearby to see if there is any place to hide from the rain, and then search for it."

"OK."

Hearing Rhode's decision, Old Walker nodded, then he turned around and whistled loudly to the others, making a gesture that was unmistakable that only mercenaries would understand. After seeing the gesture made by Old Walker, Shana immediately took the mercenaries such as Lando to find a place to hide from the rain. At the same time, he also collected some magic plants and looked for prey to make dinner, while the others sat aside and began to rest.

This is also a change that Rhodes made to the mercenary group. Unless mercenaries receive commissions, they generally do not look for and collect magic plants. Except for those herbs that have temporary effects on healing wounds and healing wounds, the other magic plants are of little significance to the mercenaries. But now Rhodes asks them to collect all magic plants when they go out for adventure. After all, unlike other mercenary groups, Rhodes' mercenary groups have alchemists who can refine potions, and with Labis, these magic plants have a place to use. As long as these magic plants are refined into potions, they can not only increase the mercenary group to a certain extent, but also a good way to make money. The only disadvantage is that the source and variety of materials under Rhodes are too limited, so there is not much profit. But Rhodes believes that as long as there is enough time, these are not a problem.

Just like when he went to Gao Cliff this time, Rhodes equipped each mercenary with a set of strictly accurate and complete potions - three bottles of fire burning agent, two bottles of healing agent and one bottle of protective potion. The fire burning agent can be used to apply to the weapon to form a burning flame, which has a considerable effect on those undead creatures, and the protective potion can form a translucent wind shield on the side of the user to resist the attack.

Although due to the limitations of raw materials and levels, the effects of these potions are very limited. Even the healing potions can only be used to treat some minor injuries, but they still make the mercenaries cheer. You should know that magic potions are very expensive luxury goods on the market. Mercenaries can't afford these things. Even former mercenary commanders like Shana can only lie outside the window and drool. Many mercenaries spent almost their entire life savings to buy a bottle of magic potions, but this bottle was still watched by them as if they were looking at treasures and would never be used until their lives were at stake. Now they can get so many bottles of magic potions without spending a penny. This is just like dreaming for many people, and the price is just to let them spend some time collecting some magic plants in the forest that they think they can't use in daily life. Such a good thing is impossible for the mercenaries to refuse.

So after receiving the order, everyone immediately scattered and searched for magical plants everywhere in the forest. Of course, in places close to people, most magical plants are not large in number, and the types are not rare. However, Rhodes does not have the capital to form a special collection group like in the game to collect treasures in those deserted areas, and just use them at will.

If he could, he would rather hope that Marlene could make some magic scrolls. Unfortunately, this time the lady went out, obviously she didn't consider having to do enough food and clothing by herself, so she didn't carry the materials and props used to make magic scrolls at all. The materials circulating outside were expensive, and Rhodes was not yet able to spend money with her hands, so she could only grit her teeth and forget about it.

Retracting his eyes from the mercenaries who were walking around, Rod looked at the three girls who were happily chatting.

Anne was still as idle as ever. It was strange that when there was no mission, she was like a hibernating bear, looking drowsy at any time and anywhere. After receiving the mission and starting to act, the girl immediately showed infinite vitality. At this moment, she was standing in front of Marlene and Lijie, pointing fingers and not knowing what she was saying, but looking at her excited look, it should be a very interesting topic.

Lijie's performance gradually changed. After the battle of the Black Robe Mage, she became much happier than before. Rhodes didn't know what happened to her, but seeing her change in the positive direction still made Rhodes feel very relieved. For an adventurer, a good attitude is very important. Now Lijie can get out of the shadow of the past, which is also a good thing.

As for Marlene, she still sat quietly next to her, listening to the conversation with her elegant and gentle smile as usual. Although her age is not much different from the other two, her attitude and temperament are much more mature than the previous two.

What made Rhodes a little confused was that Marin also told him that the Shania family had agreed to her request and allowed her to stay here. Unless something important happened, she would not have to consider leaving. This surprised Rhodes. He could not understand why the Shania family made such a decision. However, since he couldn't figure it out, Rhodes no longer thought about it. In any case, having such a powerful help is only beneficial for Rhodes.

Shanna's movements were very fast. Before the heavy rain poured down, she found a cave not far from the road. After confirming that it was not a place for wild beasts or bandits, everyone quickly entered it. Before they could settle down, heavy rain fell from the sky and began to write a new movement.

"call…………"

The bonfire rose in the cave, dispelling the strong coldness brought by the heavy rain. The delicious broth that Old Walker had prepared long ago also brought heat enough to resist the cold wind, which made the mercenaries who were already exhausted because of the journey much more comfortable. They sat together in groups of three or three, chatted and laughed in a low voice, or prepared their own weapons and tools, ready to fight at any time.

Looking at the scene in front of him, Rhode couldn't help but feel a little nostalgic. Although in the game, players could not stop because of the bad weather, hunger, thirst, and heat, before stepping into the dungeon or facing the final boss battle, they would sit together like this, resting and talking, waiting for the next battle.

But at that time, he could also join in, but now Rhodes only feels that all this is a bit far away from him.

He is not from this world.

Although he is familiar with this world, Rhodes is not an avid fan. He is more willing to talk to his companions about the latest mobile phones, current affairs news and pop music. After expressing contempt for the brain-dead fans, he laughed and chatted with jokes that were not elegant. There were also complaints about some people complaining that they were not easy to find a job recently or that the housing prices plummeted, and that he had cheated his father before buying a house.

That is his life.

But now……

Rhode shook his head, retracted his thoughts, and closed his eyes.

There must always be something change.

Thinking of this, Rhode couldn't help but sigh.

And just then, he suddenly heard a crisp sound of bells.

"bite………"

Rhode opened his eyes and looked out the cave. Under the light of the fire, a thin figure appeared at the entrance of the cave, holding a long wooden stick in his hand, and the golden bell hanging on the top of the curved staff emitted a dark light under the illumination of the flames. Behind the figure, five or six white lambs could be vaguely seen.

As the head of the security guard, Shana quickly met her. She walked to the other side and whispered a few words. Then the red-haired mercenary turned around and reported to Rhodes.

"Sir, she is a shepherd. She wants to hide from the rain here. Do you want her to come in?"

"Come in."

After hearing Shanna's report, Rhode did not say much, but nodded and responded. After all, this cave is not small, and it is still fine if a few sheep and a person are stuffed in.

After receiving Rhode's reply, Shana quickly turned her body and put the other party in. It was not until this time that everyone could see clearly what the uninvited guest looked like.

She was wearing a washed white, wide and even somewhat unfitted old cloak, completely covering the other party's thin body. Judging from her figure, the shepherd was probably younger than Anne, but she looked twelve or thirteen years old, and her little hands holding the wooden stick were pale and thin, almost skinny. Facing the mercenaries, the shepherd also looked very well-behaved. She lowered her head to the others to express her gratitude, while skillfully driving the flock and taking them to the depths of the cave. After taking the sheep into the corner, she sat down.

"Sitting there will catch a cold. Do you want to come here to roast the fire together?"

Looking at the shepherd's thin figure, Lijie couldn't help but initiate an invitation. When she heard her invitation, the shepherd raised her head curiously, looked at everyone with some hesitation, then slowly stood up, then walked to the side of the fire and sat down. Lijie smiled and stretched out her hand, and brought her a bowl of hot soup.

"Come on, have some soup to warm your body."

But this time, facing Lijie's enthusiasm, the other party stretched out his hand and waved it, obviously a very clear rejection.

"You're welcome. If you suffer from cold and get sick, it's not going well, right?"

Marlene also persuaded her, in fact, without her speaking, anyone could clearly see the body wrapped in a wide cloak trembling. It was obvious that this was a sign of wind and cold.

“……………………………”

However, even so, in the face of the two of them's persuasion, the girl still shook her head and refused.

And at this moment, Anne, who was curious about peeking at the girl hidden in the cloak, suddenly jumped up screaming.

"Captain, come and see you! This is too much!"
