Act 257 From Maltaha to Deharan (Part 2)

In fact, even if there is no danger, traveling here is still a purely manual job. It was fine when we arrived here on the first day yesterday. In fact, including the time they stayed in Maltaha, they were just traveling in the swamp. Just half a day. Maltaha is built on a highland, and the environment around the town is much better than deep in the swamp. But today, as we go deep into the swamp, troubles are coming one after another. Coupled with the weakening of physical strength, Delphine is very difficult to survive. It was hard to hold up quickly.

For this reason, Brando deliberately slowed down and let Huanghuo and Mr. Liu walk in front. He came to Delphine and looked at the prime minister Qianjin who was sweating profusely and almost exhausted but still clenching his teeth and saying nothing. She couldn't help but shook her head, thinking that no wonder she said she saw her own shadow in Ling. At least in terms of showing off her strength, the two were exactly the same.

"Are you dissatisfied with the slow pace of this vicious woman like me?" Upon noticing Brando's arrival, before the other party could speak, Delphine smiled weakly and laughed at himself.

"Do I have such sinister intentions in your mind?" Brando replied angrily. He originally wanted to help, but being described in this way still made him a little dissatisfied, although he knew that the other party might have done it on purpose.

"Isn't it? Your Excellency, isn't he deliberately trying to drive me away? In fact, I also understand that men are like this. After eating and wiping them out, they throw aside women who have lost their use value. , it’s best to let her fend for herself.”

"What do you mean by eating everything?" Brando almost missed the point and staggered - and why is this statement different from last night? He couldn't help but gape at the woman.

Seeing his dull expression, Delphine couldn't help but chuckle. She was originally Rushta's number one beauty. Although she had an enmity with Brando before, she let down her guard now - or she did it deliberately. But at least this smile made Brando realize that her title as the Flower of the Imperial Capital was definitely well deserved.

The prime minister's daughter has a slender figure, and her snow-white neck is extremely beautiful and dazzling. Even wearing the robe of a sheep-headed cultist cannot completely hide her beauty. When she smiles, that warm smile seems to overflow from her purple eyes. . This kind of warmth can infect people's hearts, and Brando can't help but feel a little moved in his heart.

But this slight heartbeat also made alarm bells ring in his heart. It was not his fault for being timid, but it was actually the other party's previous bad record that made him still have lingering fears.

But he still had nothing to do with the other party.

In fact, after getting along with each other these days, especially since the other party has sincerely helped him many times, coupled with the long conversation last night, he understands that he can no longer simply deal with the other party's stay or even life and death.

"I'm kidding you, sir." Delphine pursed his lips and smiled: "Of course I still remember what I said yesterday. I am so disgusting to you, sir, I will definitely leave when the time comes."

I don't know why, but hearing what the other party said, Brando didn't feel as relaxed as he originally expected. Originally, he should be happy to be rid of this scheming woman. Even if he was not happy, he should at least be relieved.

But I don’t know why. Instead of feeling relieved, he felt a little uncomfortable.

The prime minister's daughter noticed Brando's expression. Smiling slightly, she seemed a little happy, but her expression quickly dimmed again. Originally, he wanted to tease the Earl of Tonigel a few more words, but when the words came to his mouth, he was not in the mood to say it anymore, so he fell silent.

"……Do you need help?"

Brando was silent for a moment. Then he asked dryly.

"How are you going to help me, help me move forward?" Prime Minister Qianjin asked with a roll of his eyes.

Brando thought for a moment and felt that this proposal was a bit stupid. He helped the prime minister's daughter move forward. It doesn't seem to be of any additional help to the other party's current situation besides being able to monetize it.

What he originally wanted to do was to lift the opponent up and fly up, just like what he had done to Instalong and Fang Qi.

However, he suddenly realized that his idea was a bit ill-considered, at least it was too rude for a lady.

"Looking forward and looking back is not something that your lord would do?" Delphine replied: "Where has your courage gone to challenge the empire in the battle of Ampelsel?"

Brando glanced at her, suddenly approached her, bowed slightly, put one hand through her knees, and held the back of the prime minister's daughter with one hand, then straightened up, and at the surprise of the prime minister's daughter, Brando While shouting, he hugged the opponent sideways and flew forward.

Delphine probably didn't expect Brando to do this at all, and there was a rare look of surprise on her face. However, she curled up in Brando's arms, hesitated for a moment, then did not speak again, and just silently pressed her cheek against hers. on the latter's chest.

"Mr. Earl," she whispered, "if one day I can no longer survive in the empire, will you take me in?"

“As a friend, Fir Collar will always have an open door for you.”

"Thank you." Delphine's eyes flashed, but he felt a little regretful.

An hour or two later, Brando and his party finally met Fang Qi south of Maltahan. Although this guy did not lose himself, but as Brando expected, in the past night, the other party Not a good life.

The first problem is the mosquitoes in the swamp. This seemingly trivial problem is actually the biggest trouble for travelers after nightfall in the Tauchik Swamp. Under a perfect body, as the person's strength increases, his physique will also increase. The enhancement of physical fitness can enhance people's immune system, which can greatly improve the body's recovery ability and resistance to various diseases and toxin invasion.

A strong body can make people not afraid of contracting any disease when faced with mosquito bites. In fact, invading bacteria and foreign proteins have been completely destroyed by the immune system before they have passed the first line of defense. It is a pity that it is not possible. Infection is one thing, but there are no missing steps that should be taken. The skin will be red, swollen and swollen. Although it recovers very quickly with the blessing of the strength above the elements, you will still feel discomfort and itching.

No matter how strong Fang Qi is in the elements, as long as he has not reached the final step of perfecting his body, he will inevitably have to face these problems that ordinary people have to face.

Brando knew that this arrogant man had not made any preparations before entering the swamp, which was why he was so weird when the other party made that request yesterday. They were miserable last night despite the deworming medicine. Not to mention that this guy stayed alone in the wild all night. He could simply imagine how miserable this guy's situation was.

In fact, he is not afraid that the other party will escape alone, and this is also the reason.

When they saw Fang Qi appearing in front of them with his face, hands and any exposed skin tightly wrapped, even Huang Huo couldn't help but smile. This guy's dress was simply too cute in Brando's eyes. Like a terrorist from the previous life, only a pair of eyeballs were left under the hood, spinning outside. He also glared at him fiercely, presumably because he realized that he had been tricked again.

"You damn guy," Fang Qi couldn't help but said as soon as he saw him, "Did you deliberately not remind me?"

His voice was a bit loud under the veil, and even Princess Magdale couldn't help but glance over, wondering what kind of inhuman treatment this guy had suffered. Only Delphine broke away from Brando's arms because of this. His mood had not calmed down for a while, and his face showed a rare blush. Didn't have time to notice what was going on here.

Brando couldn't stop snickering in his heart. He was very familiar with Fang Qi's outfit. When he ventured into the swamp for the first time in his previous life, he didn't read the guide posted by his senior sister on the bbs. As a result, he forgot to bring some necessary things. Not even two days into the trip, he was dressed exactly like Fang Qi. As a result, he was laughed at by other people in the group for a long time.

about his experience at that time. Senior Baijia has only two words: She deserves it.

And now, this is exactly what he wants to say to this arrogant man.

"Remind you what?" he asked.

Fang Qi pulled off the "scarf" covering his mouth in a few times. But suddenly he realized that he was no match for the opponent, so he could only say angrily: "Give me the deworming medicine."

Brando shook his head, but did not embarrass this guy. In fact, if Fang Qi could take the initiative to bring it up a day ago, he would not hide it. But since this genius gentleman is arrogant, he doesn't mind giving the other party an unforgettable lesson.

However, after this episode, Fang Qi finally seemed to realize that he was not omnipotent, or that he was weak and short-handed, so he got a 'life-saving' gadget from Brando. This genius gentleman finally calmed down a lot and no longer acted alone.

Just as Brando expected, the map Queen Madara gave them was very detailed. Although the road from Maltaha to Hadran was muddy and difficult to navigate, the straight-line distance was not too far, and there were still some holes in some places. Before the Year of the Dragon King, merchants built a trestle in the swamp here. In fact, Hadland was once inhabited before the Sheepheaded Cultists occupied this area, but that was nearly half a century ago. Currently, most of these trestles have weathered and rotted in the swamps, with only a few Part of it survives and can serve as a signpost for travelers.

Following these artificial road signs, the group of people arrived at Hadland early the next morning. However, the closer they got to the port south of Tauchik, the more sheep-headed believers they encountered along the way. It seems that just as the hotel owner in Maltaha said, the living sacrifice ceremony held by the Goat-Headed Cultists in Hadran this time was so grand that the Goat-Headed Cultists from several nearby areas were inspired and gathered here.

In fact, when they were trekking through the night, they encountered several groups of sheep-headed believers who also walked at night. Although the two sides had little intersection, judging from the clothes of the sheep-headed believers, Brando found that some of these sheep-headed believers seemed to be more than just It comes from the area around the Sea of ​​Dead Moon.

This shows that this living sacrifice has been prepared for a long time, and the news has been spread for a long time.

But this is obviously not good news for Brando and others, because they are not here to participate in this Laoshizi living sacrifice, but for the mystery of the emerald.

They didn't look forward to this living sacrifice ceremony at all, and maybe it would be okay if they just destroyed it. But the large number of Sheephead believers gathered here are a problem.
