Chapter 39
Chapter 39
At 07:30 in the morning, the team continued to return.
After Tong Zhan had breakfast, he became more sleepy.
He didn't bother to teach the Winged Wolf King who was still grinning at him, so he consciously climbed up to Luo Sen's chest and sat down, and then fell asleep.
When he woke up, he found himself running into Moceline's arms.
Tong Zhan:? !
What happened when he fell asleep!
Seeing that he woke up, Moceline rubbed his head, "Are you awake? Why are you so sleepy?"
Tong Zhan sat upright in an instant, and after opening the distance between him and her, he looked around in confusion, and found that they were still in mid-air, so he asked, "Where's Brother Luo Sen?"
Moceline: "The team leader has something to leave the team temporarily. He saw that you were sleeping too deeply, so he didn't wake you up, so he handed you over to me."
She joked: "Why is little Tongtong so clingy to the leader now? As soon as he wakes up, he asks where he went?"
That's because when I woke up, I was shocked to find someone else beside me...
It's not clingy!
Tong Zhan puffed his cheeks, "Then when will he come back?"
He thought that Lawson's temporary departure from the team was just for a while.
As a result, Mocelin said: "That's not clear. The leader has a lot of things and is busy. It's normal that he won't be back for a while."
Seeing that Tong Zhan was very nervous, she deliberately teased him: "And the team leader doesn't often do missions with us. This period of time has been considered as a relatively long stay at the base."
"In the whole of last year, he only stayed at the base for less than two months."
Tong Zhan:! !
The rest of his drowsiness disappeared completely, and it was hard to digest this information in his heart.
Lawson actually slapped his butt and slipped away while he was sleeping?Maybe it will take more than half a year? !
What about his friendliness? !
Tong Zhan wished he could jump off the wolf's back and catch up with Luo Sen.
It's okay to leave the team, you have to take him with you!
The expression on his face was so shocking that Mocelin couldn't help laughing, "Why don't you ask Oster later? He should be more aware of the specific movements of the leader."
As soon as she finished speaking, the winged wolves received an order from Oster and began to lower their altitude and land, preparing to take a short rest.
Tong Zhan couldn't wait any longer. As soon as he touched the ground, he ran up to Oster, "Brother Oster, do you know when Brother Luosen will come back?"
Oster was turning over and getting off the winged wolf. Hearing the sound, he lowered his head and saw his eagerness, and was a little puzzled.
"The head of the group didn't tell me the exact time to come back. What's the matter? Do you have anything to ask him?"
He jumped down and stood firm, and said: "But I guess he probably went to deal with the few people caught in the ice crystal beast's territory before. If there is nothing else, he should come back after a while."
"If you are in a hurry, I can contact him for you."
Ugh?
He almost forgot that there were still a few prisoners caught by them. Tong Zhan felt relieved and scratched his head, "It's nothing urgent, but he promised to go back and return my sword to me in the morning..."
As a result, this meeting slipped away.
Tong Zhan had reason to suspect that this guy did it on purpose.
Oster was stunned for a moment before realizing that he was talking about the very peculiar epee, so he said, "Don't worry, since the captain promised to give it to you, he won't break his promise."
Tong Zhan kicked the weeds beside his feet unhappily.
Even if he didn't break his promise, it would still delay some more days, and his friendship level couldn't be improved for a while, so he was very angry!
He was not in a good mood, turned around and saw the Winged Wolf King lazily licking his fur, and blinked.
Alas?
Lawson didn't take the winged wolf away?
Seemingly aware of Tong Zhan's gaze, the Winged Wolf King stopped licking his fur and turned his head. Seeing that it was Tong Zhan staring at him, a trace of disgust flashed in his sharp eyes.
Tong Zhan:?
It seems that this wolf really has no consciousness at all!
He twisted his wrist and walked slowly towards the Winged Wolf King.
Anyway, its owner said, it doesn't matter if you don't like it, you can still beat it...
The Winged Wolf King stood up vigilantly, looking at the little one approaching him, sensed a hint of danger for no reason.
It couldn't help lowering its body, and issued a warning sound to Tong Zhan.
Tong Zhan showed a malicious smile, "Don't be afraid, I will be gentler..."
On the other side, Lawson, who left the team, had already arrived near Boulder City.
By going to the teleportation array set up in a hidden location, he directly crossed Tong Zhan's one-and-a-half-day distance to a small forest near Boulder City.
The knight commander has been waiting for him here for a long time. When he saw him coming out of the teleportation formation, he lowered his head and said hello: "Good afternoon, my lord."
Lawson nodded, "Tell me, what did you find?"
On the way to leave Icefield City, he suddenly received a message from his subordinates, but the information transmitted by the communication stone at one time was limited, and he had to come to Boulder City in advance to deal with the matter of the Holy Light Mercenary Group, so he left the mercenary group. team.
Knight Commander: "The seventh detachment sent a message to the subordinates that the Duke of Polico has had some changes recently."
Ok?
Rosen is interested, Duke Polico, isn't that the most trusted mangy dog under his dear uncle?
The knight commander continued: "It was also an accident to find the Duke of Polico, because the seventh detachment originally obeyed the orders of the adults to investigate the information of the customer who posted the mission anonymously."
"It turned out that this client had a very close relationship with the Duke of Polico, and he was very cautious when meeting him."
"Afterwards, the Seventh Detachment followed suit and discovered two people who also had close contacts with Duke Polico. They also issued anonymous missions in the mercenary union."
"It's just that the content of the task is different from yours, but it is also two rare alchemy materials."
After the knight commander finished speaking, he announced the names of the two alchemy materials.
"Are they all alchemy materials?"
Lawson frowned. Although these two alchemy materials are relatively rare, they are not difficult to collect, and they also play an auxiliary role in the application of alchemy.
I really can't see what the people who need them want to do.
Moreover, if the Duke of Polico needs rare alchemy materials, he can buy them directly from outsiders. Why did he publish the mission anonymously in the mercenary union?
"Yes, the subordinates are still ordering people to investigate, but the latest news is that there have indeed been many anonymous missions in the mercenary union recently."
Lawson said decisively: "Continue to investigate, including finding out all the activities of Polico in the past six months, as long as all the contents related to alchemy are sorted out and handed over to me."
He had an intuition that there would be something tricky inside.
"Yes!" The knight commander gave a military salute.
Luo Sen touched the space ring in his hand, and there were ten well-preserved ice crystal flowers inside.
He thought for a while, took out the communication stone, sent a message to the Violet Chamber of Commerce, and walked out, the knight commander followed closely beside him.
"My dear uncle, what happened recently?"
Lawson asked casually after sending the message.
The knight commander immediately said: "Everything is normal. Prince Pate has been busy with the preparations for the birthday celebration at the end of the year. He leaves the palace very late every day. His Majesty has advised him many times not to overwork him."
Rosen raised his eyelids slightly, and snorted softly, "Your Majesty is still the same..."
He raised his eyebrows, and thought of another matter, "By the way, how did you find out what I asked you to investigate yesterday?"
"Returning to my lord, there is no progress yet, but we will send more people to find out whether there is any infiltration of overseas forces as soon as possible."
"Um……"
When Rosen heard the news from the palace, he was not in a good mood. He only told them, whether it was the Duke of Polico or the other side, to be careful and not to startle the enemy.
Then he stopped talking, and the two of them walked out of the grove, and there was already a very simple-looking carriage waiting by the side of the road.
Lawson bent down and got into the carriage, sat on the red velvet cushion and closed his eyes to rest.
The knight commander turned over and rode on the horse beside him, signaling to his subordinates in casual clothes to set off.
"My lord, do you want to go to the city to rest first? A room has been prepared for you."
The knight commander followed the carriage, approached the window and asked.
"No, go to the Whitetop Manor in the west of the city."
Lawson closed his eyes and replied, "You should leave first, just let Hawkeye follow."
The costumes of the Knights are too obvious, with him, even the shabby-looking carriage will easily attract the attention of others.
The knight commander was taken aback for a moment, turned his head to look at the black shadow not far behind him, and replied unwillingly: "Yes, my lord."
Ever since your lord left the capital, the Hawkeye branch of the knight order has become independent and has become your right and left hand, always following your side.
But they can only be stationed in the capital and various places for many years, and they can only see the adults when they have something to report.
Now it is still dismissed because it is too eye-catching...
The knight commander watched the carriage go away sadly, feeling a feeling of falling out of favor.
When will my lord be able to return to the capital...
Lawson didn't know what his subordinates were thinking about, he was thinking about how to deal with the matter of the Holy Light Mercenary Corps later.
Philip is an assassin. He not only ranks first in the entire mercenary leaderboard, but also has strong management and communication skills.
Therefore, it is possible to firmly maintain the second ranking of the Holy Light Mercenary Corps.
The only failure is his younger brother Phil, who is not only lazy but also likes to gamble, causing him a lot of trouble.
But this younger brother is his only family member, no matter how much he has a headache, he still has to follow behind to wipe his brother's ass.
Lawson is not afraid of the consequences of killing Phil, after all, he is not worried about forming hostility with the Holy Light Mercenary Group.
But rather than killing that idiot, it's more useful to use him as a ripping off.
After all, for the sake of his younger brother, Philip would probably not agree without any conditions.
Lawson thought for a while about how to hit the bamboo stick and was more satisfied, but the communication stone suddenly vibrated slightly.
He opened his eyes and took a look, and the Violet Chamber of Commerce replied, saying that they would send someone to set off immediately, and arrive at Boulder City to meet him before tomorrow evening.
Tomorrow evening...
Lawson calculated the time, and estimated that at that time, the team of his own mercenary group should be almost here.
Thinking of this, the corners of his tensed mouth relaxed, revealing a smile.
A certain little guy woke up and found that he was not there. He must think that he is going to talk again, and his lungs are probably going to explode.
He thought about it happily, then suddenly paused.
Well, this little guy won't sue his brother in the future...
Lawson was lost in thought.
