Jonah saw the first ray of sunlight streaming into room A51 from the narrow window, illuminating the sleeping face of Xibi Tianmei in the bed next door. Only then did he realize that he had insomnia - it was a long sleepless night.
He turned his head and glanced around. The unicorn stood in the center of the room, his head lowered, and Elliot lay prone on the saddle, breathing long. Jekong's bed was empty, and so was Long Ji's bed.
.
A rustling sound came from the head of the room. Toba slowly sat up from his bed, which was too petite for his body size. He quietly put his big feet on the ground, put on his boots, and put on his clothes.
Putting on his coat, he walked quietly and hunched over to the outside.
His deliberately gentle movements still woke up the Rose Knight. Elliot and his unicorn opened their eyes at the same time, "Mr. Chamberlain, it's still early, there is still an hour before departure time." He straightened up and said,
He moved his joints slightly and whispered.
"I want to go to the powerless people to see what delicious food there is." Toba replied in a low voice, glancing nervously in the direction of Jonah, for fear of disturbing the astrologer's sleep. Jonah immediately closed his eyes.
Eyes, pretending to be sleeping soundly. "There should be a morning market at the underground food market today. I'm going to buy some materials and make a pot of meat porridge for the astrologer. His body is too weak."
Elliot smiled and said: "Half an hour ago, Sir Jekong and Miss Long Ji had already set off for shopping. In order to let the head of the room sleep a little longer, they secretly took away your wallet. Miss Long Ji asked us
Say sorry to her."
Toba touched his waist and widened his eyes: "Why don't you call me!"
"Miss Long Ji specifically said that your snoring is a natural hypnotic agent, and it is the best auxiliary treatment method for all patients who lack rest." Rose Knight blinked.
Toba touched his head: "Really? I've never heard of it."
Elliot patted the unicorn's neck gently, and the riding beast turned on the spot with a light and feather-like pace and walked outside without making a sound. "Let's go to Mr. Eight Eyes to update the information. This is the place.
I'm sorry to bother you. The room leader's stay in the room is of great use." He turned back to Toba, bowed his head slightly, and the unicorn crossed the threshold and left the room.
Toba was stunned for a while, then slapped his forehead: "Yes!"
He tiptoed back to his bed, sat on the bed, closed his eyes slightly, and snored evenly and rhythmically.
Xibi muttered something in his sleep, smiled sweetly, turned over, hugged the pillow tightly, and fell into a deep sleep.
Jonah closed his eyes tightly and pretended to sleep, and there were sour ripples in his heart. He was just an insignificant role in this troubled world, unable to resist the torrent of fate. Why did the Lord God give him such an excellent partner and let him receive such hard-to-repay love?
?
Listening to Toba's snoring and thinking wildly, Jonah unknowingly took a nap. When he opened his eyes again, the room was empty. Looking through the empty door, the Pitchfork team members were gathering.
What are they talking about outside?
Jonah slowly got up, overcame the dizziness caused by weakness and lack of sleep, dressed neatly, and walked out of the door, "Master Astrologer!" Toba saw him, immediately took off his hat and bent down and said: "Good morning! Have a good sleep.
What? The meat porridge is cooking on the stove in the back, it will be ready soon!"
"Hey brother, look at your two dark circles!" Sibi jumped over and touched Jonah's face.
The unicorn stretched out its head and sprinkled its soft mane on Jonah's shoulders. The astrologer's apprentice reached out and touched the face of the riding beast affectionately, and smiled at everyone: "Sleep well! I'm still a little dizzy now, maybe
You must have slept too much. When should we set off?"
Long Ji nodded at him and said nothing. Ye Kong still stood beside him like a bamboo pole, but there was a warm luster in his gray eyes.
"Depart after breakfast... In view of your health condition, Mr. Astrologer, we still recommend that you stay at Cherry Ferry. This is not an easy journey." After the Rose Knight saluted, he considered his words.
"You are very weak and will hold you back!" Xibi patted the new tenant on the shoulder and said with a smile.
Jonah squinted his eyes in the dazzling sunshine and patted the deerskin bag beside him: "Don't worry, I promise to keep up with everyone. In addition, before I fell into coma, I made a lot of "Failed Streamers" engraved with the energy storage star array.
Each stone can become a very powerful weapon, I believe I can play my role."
"Yes, yes, I know, I know, very beautiful fireworks!" Xibi clapped her hands, but Long Ji glared at her, sticking out her tongue and not daring to speak.
Toba rubbed his hands and looked at Elliot in embarrassment. The Rose Knight smiled helplessly and made a gesture of affirmation.
"Then please pay attention to your safety, Mr. Astrologer. I'm afraid you won't be able to protect you... Bah! What are you talking about! Let's have breakfast. We have a famous saying in our mushroom farm: A good breakfast is better than a good meal.
Lunch and dinner require good food. If you don't eat more, where will you have the strength?" The head of the room changed the subject and brought steaming meat porridge and wheat cakes from the stove at the back of the room.
Each guest room in Cherry Crossing is equipped with a simple camp stove, but A-class tenants rarely cook their own food. The high accommodation fees force them to live on fast food, and cooking and dining are the most vulnerable.
During a sneak attack, no one wants to make fun of their own lives. However, the Pitchfork team currently accepting Cherry Crossing's unprecedented VVVH-level unfixed target mission has received unprecedented comprehensive protection from Cherry Crossing protectors, so Toba can leisurely put the pot.
The tempting steam is rising from the stove without worrying about the numerous snoopers around.
After tasting the meat porridge once, Jonah was no longer wary of such horrible-looking food. He swallowed a big spoonful and gave a thumbs up: "It's delicious!"
Toba blushed and rubbed the back of his head: "The compliment from Mr. Astrologer is my greatest honor..."
Xibi, who was sitting on his shoulder, curled her lips and said: "Tch, that's because you haven't tasted authentic Bazelar cooking. After the mission is completed and Sister Long Ji and Eli leave, I will take you to the Province of Avilia."
Try what Bazelar delicacies are and thank me after you swallow them with your tongue, brother!"
"Eat." Long Ji said briefly. For some reason, Xibi always obeyed Long Ji's words, pouted her mouth, lowered her head obediently and ate the wheat cake.
Jonah glanced at the Knight of Rose, "Another story." Elliot replied in a low voice.
Long Ji glanced at them. The Eastern woman was obviously not in a good mood today, her eyes were as sharp as knives filled with cold air. The two men also dealt with the food on the plate honestly.
Breakfast ended quickly, "So, everything is ready? Let's go then?" Toba put away the tableware, clapped his hands, and announced in his usual non-authoritative tone.
Elliot looked back at Jonah, who was riding with him. Jonah clamped his legs on the unicorn's back and nodded.
"Let's go." Rose Knight confirmed.
The sun shines on the lush alluvial plain in the northwest beyond the Holy River. The dark blue sun hangs in the clear sky, and the golden sunshine is still shining. It is another good weather for traveling.
Toba strode forward with long legs, Xibi was jumping in front of him and behind him, Long Ji was on guard from the side, Elliot and Jonah were in the middle of the team, followed by Jekong. Their clothes remained unchanged for thousands of years.
The southerner in a rust-colored coat stared into the distance expressionlessly, his red hair fluttering in the wind.
The team left the Cherry Crossing area and entered the area of the powerless. Jonah looked at the low shacks passing by and suddenly thought, could Mr. W be watching his daughter on the expedition somewhere? The arrogant northern elf vs. Sibi
His emotions were not well concealed. Looking back now, every time he met Xibi, his eyes were clearly full of deep attachment and deep-seated regret - that kind of emotion is called "father".
A wide-brimmed hat decorated with feathers flashed past the corner of his eye. Jonah looked back, but did not find Mr. W. Maybe he saw it wrong, he thought.
The speed of this trip was obviously much faster than last time. Soon the dense vegetation gave way to the desolate landscape covered with black rocks, and he once again entered the dark canyon path. Jonah felt that it was far removed from the memory of the last time he went to Sukasa Canyon.
, already as far away as a lifetime ago.
"Do you need a rest?" Toba slowed down and turned around to ask.
Elliot looked around at everyone's situation, turned to ask for Jonah's opinion, and replied: "No, let's continue, Mr. Room Chief."
"Understood." Toba's big boots rumbled over the rocks, leaving the road behind him. Sibi rushed up to his shoulders, sat firmly, and swayed his legs: "Ellie, you
Where do you think we can meet the queen and her pursuers?"
Rose Knight replied: "In the morning, Mr. Eight Eyes' information pointed out that a team hired by the royalists headed by Mr. Dan had set off last night along the canyon in the direction of Bazeral. The mission was to help the two queens.
We arrived at Cherry Crossing smoothly. This team was temporarily formed and is currently the strongest combat force in Cherry Crossing besides us. Its members include the spiritual warlock Hasalqin..."
"Warlock! What a trouble!" Xibi complained.
"Fallen magician, holder of the Moon Halo Mandala, Jeffta..."
"Mage Breaker! It's so troublesome!" Xibi also complained.
"The thief Sigma? The tree snake and the power releaser Omicron? The cave horse..."
"Break thieves, break freers! What a trouble!" Sibi complained again.
"Fighter Gwadar..."
"Broken warrior! It's so troublesome!" Xibi complained again and again.
"That's it," Elliot concluded.
Xibi gasped: "This combination should be stronger than us, right? The V2 'Debris' team has been dismantled? So has the 'Sick Dog' team?"
Rose Knight nodded seriously: "Mr. Dan found a loophole in the additional clauses and completed the operation under dad's eyes, spending a lot of money. The V2 team was originally a mercenary team of the old nobles and wealthy businessmen, but Hasa
Erqin and Guadal were bribed by Mr. Dan and were disbanded; as for the 'Sick Dogs'...it was actually a team of Jeffta alone, and of course it no longer exists."
Xibi's eyes widened and he didn't know what to say.
"Ellie, what do you think?" Jonah asked from behind.
"We believe that although this team cannot compete head-on with Zavi's army, it can at least ensure that the Queen's team will not be entangled by the enemy. After all, there are Bazelal's senior knights protecting the Queen; therefore, according to many previous intelligence
According to analysis, we can encounter them before dusk today at the latest, and the battle location is estimated to be in Sucasa Canyon. Your Excellency, Astrologer." Rose Knight replied.
