Early the next morning, the leading officials asked all the mercenaries to knock on the door of the guest room one by one and ask them to bring out all the orc prisoners and prepare to set off. It is normal to think that their own duty is to transport prisoners, and this happened. In this situation, they can only pay for one day's room rent out of their own pocket. After ensuring the safety of their team, they can start work.

Sheldon and others worked together to pull the carriage out. Under the still chilly morning sun, the ordered team was about to leave the town. Today's town seemed different from yesterday's, and I always felt that something was missing. In the alley It's deserted, even though it's early morning, and even though most people are still asleep in bed, you can't hear even a little snoring.

"Those people seemed to have gone to the square yesterday." Merlin said to Sheldon, "I don't know what they went to see."

"I don't know who that person is..." Sheldon pressed his temple with his hand, "I don't even know how I got to him yesterday. But those in charge He seems to have some brains, and he wouldn't do such a weird thing and leave us in the wilderness. Hey, someone will definitely reimburse our room fee. Don't expect to take out even a small amount from their hands. Share the money, haha.”

Pelelius yawned and stretched with blurred eyes: "Morning... I always feel that this morning is strangely quiet. Alas... I don't have breakfast, it's really terrible."

The work contract stated that the mercenaries had to take care of their own food, clothing, and accommodation, so there was no use complaining. The carriage was already in place, and Merlin and Sheldon were still the first to ride in the same carriage with the orcs every day. They sat at the back of the car and looked at the empty streets, feeling a faint chill in their hearts.

Now that autumn is gradually approaching, Sheldon should add some clothes, Sheldon thought. Yesterday, everyone in the town was jumping alive in front of him, why is there no one there now?

The wheels ran over loose or hard stone slabs, making a creaking sound. Merlin's buttocks gradually began to tremble, and the scenery in front of him began to move slowly. Anyway, all this had nothing to do with them after all, they resisted Mostly just as a witness to this strange thing.

Before the carriage could speed up, Merlin and Sheldon saw a middle-aged man with long gray hair following behind the carriage, pulling on the outside of the carriage. For a moment, they didn't understand what this guy wanted to do.

He was carrying a big satchel on his back, and his clothes were neither new nor old. They had been worn for three or four days in a row, but they didn't smell much. Although his face was full of wrinkles and pockmarks, it didn't look greasy or dirty. .This shows that although men usually don’t pay much attention to their personal image, they also pay attention to hygiene.

"Can you give me a ride?" he said, "Although I don't know where you want to go, I feel that as long as I follow you, I can get where I want to go."

"Sir, we are escorting a team of prisoners to the vicinity of the Tata River on the king's order. We don't know exactly where it is." Sheldon said gently, "Please forgive me for not being able to agree to your request."

"Aha!" As a result, the half-aged man grabbed the frame of the carriage fiercely, jumped lightly with his feet, and easily stood in the crowded carriage, "Yes, that's exactly where I want to go. !Thank you for your help!”

"Uh..." Sheldon held Merlin's hand, "I just said-"

The man squeezed Merlin's small body out of the way expertly, and acted like a rogue naturally: "Oh, we're all here, it's fate, isn't it? Come on, help me, the things here are precious!"

Sheldon resisted the idea of ​​pushing this guy out of the car, and carefully took Merlin's hand, using his eyes to signal the orcs inside to squeeze the position a little so as not to hurt the child. Although Merlin initially

He also looked a little confused, but for some reason, he didn't care anymore.

This man seems to have a natural ability to get close. Whether it is his face or every move he makes, he exudes a strange affinity that makes people who want to say no shut their mouths.

With a clang, the big bag behind the man hit the floor inside the carriage. Then he looked inside the carriage, and his gray eyebrows suddenly raised: "These seem to be the ones that held the ceremony in the Vatican not long ago.

I didn’t expect that it took two years after the rebellion for this whole thing to come to an end. It’s really strange.”

"Sir, what's your name?" Merlin looked at the old man's always smiling eyes, and the corners of his mouth could not help but slightly curve upward.

If he read it correctly, this man should be the one who told everyone not to believe the missionary's nonsense last time. But in this time and space, they actually met by mistake.

This was one of the reasons why Merlin didn't make any noise about driving him out.

"You can call me Mr. Laurent." Laurent smiled heartily, "What a cute kid, isn't he? He looks like he has a very good talent for magic!"

Sheldon could clearly sense that the way this guy looked at Merlin didn't look like he was looking at a person, but as if he was looking at a piece of very fine emerald.

Laurent opened his hand towards Merlin. On it were several thin metal sheets and a few screws: "I make toys. If you don't mind, let me make you a toy. During this journey,

Add a little fun."

Merlin nodded vigorously, while Sheldon sighed helplessly and simply closed his eyes and ignored the matter.

This guy is indeed a bit weird, but with Sheldon's eyesight, there is no way to conclude that he is dangerous to Merlin. If he stops him now, the atmosphere in the car will become very awkward.

"What is this?" Merlin moved the metal piece in Laurent's hand, "Uncle, your hands are so rough."

Laurent laughed flatly and said: "Of course, I have been a toy all my life, how could there be no traces? Next, please let me perform a fun magic trick for you. You will definitely be surprised and forget it.

Wink!"

The rough big hands suddenly closed together, and Laurent's old face mysteriously slid in front of Merlin's face, getting very close to him. His hands quickly closed together, wrapping these bits and pieces in the middle. He rubbed them back and forth,

Shake it up and down, and a muffled sound of tinkling bounces in the small space in your hand.

"Watch it!" The old man suddenly threw up the thing in his hand, and golden spots appeared between his fingers.

I saw a small golden flying machine floating miraculously in the air. Its two large wings almost occupied most of the body, and a sphere in the middle as big as a bird's eye glowed with a dark oily sheen.

Phew! The two wings of the aircraft folded downwards, and it actually dived straight down from the air, almost plunging into the hard ground! At that critical moment, these wings seemed to have their own vitality,

He simply folded upwards, and with the breeze, the little guy's body floated swaying in the wind!

"Come on, hold out your hand!" The man was very satisfied with Merlin's surprised look. "It will be yours from now on! Within a month, wherever you want it to fly, it will fly there."

No matter where it goes, even to the ends of the world, it will definitely fly there by the wind without hesitation!"

This small flying toy landed smoothly on Merlin's palm. Although it was such a small sphere, its two large wings could actually fit inside the ball.

Sheldon looked at the toys in Merlin's hands with interest, and then looked at Laurent, who seemed as childish as Merlin. He couldn't help but sigh in his heart that bringing Merlin here finally achieved something. The little boy excitedly threw the ball

When it was thrown up, two golden wings were drawn out from the small ball, leaving graceful and smooth traces in mid-air.

No need to look, there must be traces of magic in this little thing. But when you think about it carefully, the producer's fantastic techniques are amazing. Can you reach this level after being a toy for a lifetime? Sheldon is not like that

think.

But as long as he is not a bad person and does not have any ideas against Merlin, there is no reason for him to do something that is not good for everyone.

They were about to reach their destination in three or four days. Lu, the wolf-orc man, saw Merlin playing happily, and his heart gradually became anxious. He promised himself that he would let them escape. But how to save them, he still has to worry about it now.

A mystery. Time waits for no one...

He was about to be sent to the guillotine...

Until evening, the man did not leave Sheldon's team. Instead, he stayed in the team like a rogue. After driving for a day, Tara and his party finally arrived at the location provided by the team that had previously escorted the prisoners.

The streets and alleys that were obviously full of life the day before were now strangely deserted. Everyone followed Tara and kept calling around to see if anyone lived here, but they didn't hear a single reply.
Chapter completed!
