Chapter 81 Reunion
In the Scriptures of the Justice Sect, the 13th day of each month is the day of disability, and believers gather together to sing loud and low war songs.
Today is March 13th.
Donald and his group came out of the inn at the foot of Mount Lapagard, and many believers nearby were heading up the mountain.
There seemed to be some prayer vaguely heard further away.
According to the agreement when they left Demingham, they or Horn Shelley's team, no matter who arrives at Lapagard first, must leave a letter at the city station to state their current location and ensure that the other team can meet immediately after arriving at the destination.
When they came, they sent the carriage here. They had asked if there were any letters stored. The other party's response was that there was no such thing. Therefore, it can be inferred that Horn Shelley had not arrived yet.
"You have to come here every morning to ask, so that they can't get in touch with us by mistake."
After finding a cafe nearby, Donald sat down and told Stephanie.
"Okay...we're we a little too early? After all, Demingham gave us a task of one year, and it's only taken us less than half a year now."
Stephanie was a little concerned about this issue. Although Lapagard's environment was very good, after the freshness passed, she felt a little anxious.
Part of it is because the task has not been completed for a long time, which always makes her feel uneasy...
The main reason is that she is a little uncomfortable with the lifestyle here or feels uncomfortable with the atmosphere here.
Perhaps because Rapagaard is the core missionary city of the Justice Sect, there is a very strong religious atmosphere here.
For a person who has no faith or whose object of faith is not the God of Justice, living here is inevitably a bit restricted.
Of course, I didn't feel this way when I first came here, but when I thought about the possibility of living here for a long time, this feeling did not only appear in Stephanie alone.
"I don't know either. After all, there is no channel for information exchange between us and Horn's team, and their routes seem to be somewhat different from ours. We are in the south of the Ryan Empire and in the north. I hope they can arrive as soon as possible... In fact, I also want to complete the task as soon as possible and leave here. There are still many things waiting for us to do. Wasting time here is not the result I want."
Donald leaned back on the sofa. They were able to arrive in less than half a year because he deliberately speeded up.
The inner sense of urgency urged him to speed up the task.
But only after this was the case, he realized whether the task progress could be accelerated. He alone would not do it.
"Donald, will we stay in Lapagard for the next period of time? Don't forget that we are all... special people, it's okay to stay here for a day or two, and you can pretend to be tourists, but if another team doesn't come here for a long time, we will live here as an outsider for more than half a month, which will easily attract attention."
What Anthony is worried about is obviously more practical. There are a lot of tourists here, and Lapagard never refuses to enter from outsiders, but this does not mean that everyone can stay here for a long time, after all, they are not residents here.
What's more, they are a group of strange disciples themselves. If they are discovered by the Justice Sect, they will definitely be paid attention to.
“This is indeed a problem…”
Donald was thinking about this question, but a noisy sound of horse hooves came from the street outside, interrupting his thoughts.
When I looked up, I saw a team of knights. The armor they were wearing and the flags held in one of them should be believers of the Justice Sect.
As his eyes moved backward, Donald was stunned for a moment, and then a strange smile appeared on his face.
"It seems we don't have to think about this anymore. Look, our other half of the task completion conditions is here!"
Behind the Cavaliers, Horn Shelley and others, Pence, Boglo, Susanna, and Miss Semyr from the Garcia family, appeared in front of him.
This is a state that Donald never expected, and they seem to have just arrived in Lapagard.
"I'll call them?"
When Stephanie saw her best friend Susanna, she couldn't help but want to go out and call her. As soon as she got up, she noticed that Donald was looking at her and pressed down her hand, so she sat back and looked back in confusion.
"No hurry. It's very impolite to stop the Justice Sect team in the street. They obviously have serious business. If they rashly go up, they might misunderstand our motivation. At that time, Horn will have to explain it to us. The situation is not clear now, so it's better not to cause trouble."
The limbs of the horses riding these people had many mud and sand spots on the calves, and they kept sniffing while walking, which looked like fatigue. In addition, these knights looked majestic at first glance, but when you look closely, you can find that several of them looked a little loose, but they just forced themselves to not make a fool of themselves in front of the believers.
Horn and his group looked almost the same as theirs.
It seems that this team has obviously arrived in Lapagard, who has just gone through a long journey and has had many battles in the middle.
Immediately afterwards, Donald saw two prison cars behind the team, with a man and a woman locked in it. He didn't know what it was, but he just shrank in a corner of the two cages.
"Since they have arrived in Lapagard, they will naturally go to the inn to check the letters as we had agreed before. We can just wait in the hotel afterwards. There is no need to fight for these minutes or seconds."
Taking a sip of coffee, Donald said without any haste. Everyone has appeared in front of him and will never disappear suddenly.
After breakfast, the group went back to the hotel to wait for Horn and others to arrive.
Of course, it is not just sitting and waiting, but sitting around the hotel balcony, basking in the sun and eating pastries, while discussing what to say and what not to say when we meet later.
After all, some things are very sensitive, so you should still be relieved in advance in private to save embarrassment.
"We are not going to return to Demingham. This can not only be said, but also we have to take the initiative to say that the contract with the Demingham government after we complete the task is over and go wherever we want, so don't worry about what Horne and the others will think."
After completing this task, Donald was preparing to make a cut with Demingham. This was not a difficult task. After all, strictly speaking, the only ones in their team related to Demingham's government agencies are Donald and Stephanie. Both of them are just the lowest-level investigators and are not important personnel of any government agencies.
"Don't mention the matters we are in Renas and the Howling Forest. The former is our place to stay in the future. Apart from us, the more we know, the less, the better. The latter is my biggest secret now. We must not let others know that I am pretending to be fast now. There is also the matter in Komuer. You can say that you see the dragon, but don't mention the things that come later, especially the contract between me and the dragon. This is our trump card. The deeper the hidden, the better. As for the disease ruins, it doesn't matter. However, Lilo's strength recovery can be hidden and hidden. You can talk more about the phenomena we saw in Corta and the blood clan castle..."
Most of the time, Donald said that Stefini and Julia were remembering, while Anthony said that he was not familiar with those people and could be completely cold at that time, so he could easily avoid communicating with them.
In fact, what really needs to be paid attention to is Stefene and Donald. Julia also took notes purely because she was nervous and worried that Semyal Garcia would suddenly chat with her. After all, they had wanted to spend a long time on Osway Sea.
And as a formal member of Donald's team, she naturally has to protect the interests of the team.
After the discussion was made and checked for the missing points, the few people began to truly enter the waiting state.
At noon, Stefene, who had been leaning against the balcony railing and looking at the street outside, stood up and began to wave his hands outside.
Unexpectedly, Horn and his group found them here.
