Chapter 955: Exploration Departure

"Your hat is so silly, it looks like a refugee in exile."

"You're stupid, okay? I've never seen anyone wearing a green hat. It's winter now. You should wear a white hat even if you're pretending, okay?"

Rubens and Stiga had become the talking-heads of the team, bickering with each other wherever they went. In order to assist Rody in investigating the ruins, they went to the market in Houlier City to buy their own "outfits". Compared with the clothes worn by the dragons themselves, their current equipment can be described as rustic, which also caused them to start complaining about each other's aesthetic standards...

"Essien, where did you buy this sheepskin jacket? It looks very warm!"

Rubens turned the topic to the tall and taciturn Essien, who pointed to the market on the other side of Elsa Village. Rubens' eyes lit up, and he turned his head and said, "Roddy, let me go and have a look." !"

"Let's go, let's move freely first, and we will gather at the entrance of the village in half an hour."

Rody waved his hand: "I'll go to the village chief first, you can do whatever you want."

Kardashian is dressed as a mage, which is similar to her usual clothes. As an ice dragon, she can't feel the cold at all, but she still wears a thick cloak and hood in order not to show her flaws. Iskar was really into the show, he was carrying an exaggerated backpack, imitating the gesture of passers-by rubbing his hands and exhaling, and asked in a trembling tone: "Shall we go to a wine or tavern for a while? "

Nata wanted to laugh inexplicably, Kardashian rolled her eyes: "Is this really a stage play..."

Stika was dragged by Rubens to the market to choose a hat, and the remaining four went down to the tavern led by Nata. Lando had already gone far away from Rody at this time, he couldn't help turning his head, he always felt that this group of people gave him a strange feeling - seeing Rody's face was calm, he still couldn't hold back: "My lord Prime Minister, they are... The mercenary you found?"

Speaking of mercenaries, this group of people is really not polite. They don't call the dignified Prime Minister by his first name, and they all have a hippie smile. And Rody didn't care, and said casually: "Yes, some friends who are mercenaries."

He didn't have any more explanations, and Lando couldn't ask more. With the strength of this wood elf, he really can't realize how strong those mercenaries are... After staying in the market for a long time, Lando can be considered to have dealt with all kinds of people. The smell is very obvious, they are doing the business of killing, the smell of blood is easy to detect.

But these guys... are not new to the industry, are they?

Just as he was thinking, the gate of the village chief's wooden house was already in front of him, Lando stopped moving forward, and felt three or four steps behind: "Master Luo Di...here we are."

"OK, thanks."

He was very polite to Lando. After knocking on the door, Brody with a haggard face came to open the door. After seeing Rody, he was stunned for a few seconds, then rubbed his eyes, and then he was about to salute—" Your Excellency the Prime Minister..."

Roddy supported him: "Shh, keep it secret."

Brody nodded immediately and stopped speaking, let Rody walk in and quickly closed the door.

After entering the house, Rody didn't put on airs. He sat in front of the fire and talked with the wood elf village chief about what happened recently. Seeing his sad face, Rody asked, "Is the situation bad?"

"At first I didn't take it seriously, thinking it was just some village chiefs who were having trouble with me. But in just one month, almost all Wood Elf villages have cut off contact with us. This must not be an isolated behavior. I doubt Butty did it, but there's no proof. Tried to search, but..."

He didn't shy away from it, and said truthfully: "A few days ago when I was looking for Frank, I encountered a killed earth dragon on the way. It was obviously warning us with force. I think the current strength of Elsa Village may not be able to deal with it." Something like an earth dragon, so I didn’t dare to go on.”

Listening to his narration, Rody felt strange: "Killed the earth dragon, but didn't take anything except the magic crystal, just put the corpse there to warn you?"

"My lord, I think... this may be Frank's helpless warning.

"

Brody continued: "Just yesterday, similar corpses of monsters were found on the road to two other villages. They were all killed and blocked in the middle of the road. If they really fall out with me, send them directly It's enough for a person to say a word, why do you need to do this? I know the temperament of those old guys, they are not cruel and cold people, and they suddenly did this, maybe there is some difficulty behind it that cannot be spoken out."

Rody didn't know the village chiefs of other villages, so he could only accept Brody's statement. But the current situation in Elsa Village is obviously a bit weird—except here, the other Wood Elf villages in the entire Quiet Whispering Forest have been cut off. He pondered for a moment and said to Brody: "Don't go anywhere recently. There is also a curfew, so remember to stay safe."

Brody nodded vigorously, and he must now implement 100% of what he said to Rody: "Then... If your lord needs my help here, please tell him at any time."

Back then, Brody could still call Rody by his name, but now he is already a standard subordinate posture. Rody knew that this was unavoidable, so he was not humble, stood up and responded: "The development of Elsa Village is not bad, I will go to the forest with a few friends, just don't make my identity known."

After saying that, he said goodbye and left, but Rody didn't immediately go to the village entrance to find Kardashian and the others. Instead, he put on his hood and came to the guard post on the outskirts of the village alone. I was stunned, because his appearance often appeared in "Karen Times", but at this time, the soldiers in Elsa Village did not believe that the dignified prime minister would come to such a place where no shit.

Rody didn't talk nonsense, he took out a badge and a piece of paper: "Check it out."

The soldiers standing guard immediately stood at attention and saluted. After taking the things, he took out a small magic circle and put the emblem on it to confirm his identity. At the same time, the literate team leader in the sentry was also called over. After seeing the content on this piece of paper, his expression changed drastically, and he stood upright and said, "My lord Prime Minister!"

"I'm not sending you guys to fight, but I need to get a few things."

He explained a few words, and the soldiers understood immediately, and pulled out a long metal pipe about half a meter from the sentry post. After taking it, Luo Di thought about it: "There are still rich people here?"

"Report to the Prime Minister! Since the distribution started last month, we have been checking every day, and the spare number is more than four!"

The soldier's answer satisfied Rody. He carefully checked the integrity of the magic circle of the pipe in his hand, and after confirming it, hung it on the side of the quiver behind him.

After leaving the guard post, Rody arrived at the gate of the village on time, and found that Kardashian and the others were already waiting here. Stiga had finally replaced the green hat and was arguing with Rubens whether it was better to use a knife or a sword. The others listened to their slander with helpless faces. Seeing Rody coming, Kardashian immediately showed a look of "relief": "Let's go, let me listen to the two of them talking, I can't help but hit someone."

Roddy hurriedly arranged the task: "Nata leads the way directly to the place where the attack was made. Let's try to find it before dark. If you encounter an attack on the way..."

"Then let them experience what despair is!"

Rubens waved the knife in his hand and posed as if singing an opera. Luo Di felt that this guy's secondary illness was indeed not serious, so he said helplessly: "I mean...after being attacked, don't rush to wipe out the other party. Our purpose is to find out the identity of the attacker, so we mainly focus on capturing alive. If you encounter other mercenary groups..."

Seeing that Rubens was about to speak again, Stiga pressed it back for him directly: "Can you die if you stop talking nonsense?"

Nata's shoulders twitched twice, and she suppressed a smile. Rody coughed dryly: "Stika is the most sensitive in the forest, it would be best if he could find the ruins, if not, the news of other mercenary groups is also very important - but... if they have malicious intentions, what should we do? How to deal with it."

"That's right! My long knife is already hungry and thirsty!"

Rubens grinned, took big strides with a relaxed face, and started walking out of the village. After walking a few steps, he realized that the others were heading in another direction under Nata's leadership - so he could only trot awkwardly and catch up with the team.

Five giant dragons, a prime minister and a wood elf, this powerful "mercenary group" quickly disappeared in the vast sea of ​​​​Whispering Forest.

I'm going to climb a mountain tomorrow, so I'll add 2,000 words later, sorry.
