She Is Not a Witch

Vol 3 Chapter 83: Journey night

The next day, Lorrain Hill came to the Adventurer's Hall to meet.

Pushing open the half-covered door, and walking into this slightly sultry and noisy hall, the girl glanced around, and soon found a group of caravan members sitting at the round table. Their cloak has the shamisen logo on the buckle, which means they belong to the Roentgen Chamber of Commerce.

After finishing her clothes briefly, the girl stroked the hem of her skirt with her armband, and then stepped forward.

"Hello, are you a member of the Roentgen caravan? I have received a mission to participate in the escort." Lorrain Hill asked a man standing at the table and doing nothing.

The man in the brown-gray cloth heard the sound and raised his head, looked up and down the blond ponytail, the slightly sassy lady swordsman, and nodded.

"Yes, it's us." Then he turned to shout.

"Miss, the guard we want is here."

On the other side of the round table, a woman surrounded by several people who was discussing and explaining matters turned her head, while continuing to talk to the people around her, she nodded to indicate that she knew it.

One minute later, after the explanation and instructions were completed, the merchant lady got up and walked over.

"Hello, I’m Charlene from the Roentgen Chamber of Commerce." The business lady looked about 20 years old, with light brown skin, wearing a dark red dress with straps, and a woven shawl on her arm, which made her look more. Kind of elegance.

"Hello, my name is Messia." Lorrain Hill nodded, put his hand aside and moved a little hesitantly.

Although she knows the court etiquette of the empire, she doesn't know how to greet ordinary people or adventurers.

Seeing the girl's slightly restrained appearance, Charlene smiled, and then stretched out her right hand. Lorrain Hill reached out and held it.

After a brief handshake, Miss Charlene asked Lorrain Hill to sit down.

"The arm armor is very heavy. I began to see you move lightly. I thought it would be very light."

"This, because some stainless steel was used in the construction, so the protection will be better." Lorrain Hill explained a little embarrassingly.

"Hehe, this is also a good thing. Being professional will be more reassuring. If you report in a light skirt, I will be a little worried, although I heard that you are a master of Sequence 4."

The two briefly talked for a while, and Charlene also had a preliminary understanding of the swordsman lady, who seemed to be a new adventurer with superb skills but little actual combat experience.

Although there is a gap between the perfect guard candidates in the centrifugal eye, it is already very cost-effective to spend the money to get the masters of Sequence 4, and it can't ask too much.

Today the southern provinces are not stable. Although the regent has put down the rebellion on the bright side, many dangerous elements still remain in some mountains and remote corners. Some of them are deserters, some are children of nobles in the past, but are now wanted by seizures, and some are those who lost their homes during the war and became bandits.

In such an environment, it is natural that the stronger the guard, the better.

"Miss Messia hasn't eaten yet, or else join us in the meal now, and then we can set off." After staying for an hour, the other entourage of the caravan also arrived one after another. At this time, Miss Charlene invited the girls to eat together.

"Okay, thank you." Lorrain Hill looked at the new mercenaries and adventurers curiously, then nodded.

Soon after, the personnel in the Adventurer's Hall brought plates of food to serve the caravan personnel.

"Here." A wooden plate was also placed in front of Lorrain Hill.

There are baked square bread on the wooden tray, and a bowl of steaming potato and vegetable soup. The potatoes were cooked very thoroughly, giving the soup a sticky feeling. In addition to the vegetables cut into small pieces, one or two pieces of meat could be found, which shows that this lunch was quite rich.

For those on the move, this kind of food is already very good, and it is still considered that Miss Charlene invited everyone for free.

Several mercenaries said thank you, and then ate them with big mouthfuls. Judging from the way they looked, it seemed that this kind of food could only be eaten by a half.

Tear open the bread, Lorrain Hill tried to eat as quickly as possible, and then finished the vegetable soup, filling his appetite with a warm feeling. Although the materials are mediocre, the food provided in this adventurer's hall is surprisingly good.

"Now let's go." After seeing everyone basically finished eating, Miss Charlene stood up, clapped her hands, and let the lads around start to work.

"Good Le~"

A group of caravans walked out of the hall, and then went to the stables at the back to pull out the carriage and count the goods.

"Miss Messia, just sit with me." When Lorrain Hill didn't know what to do, Miss Charlene's voice came not far away.

Then she asked Lorrain Hill to walk over and sit with her in the back of a carriage.

Soon, the convoy set off and the group headed out of the city.

The roads of this era are not the flat roads in the memory of girls, but the roads full of gravel and mud. The carriages are bumpy and swaying along the way, and sometimes you can hear the squeaky teeth of those carriages loaded with goods. Voice.

"Get used to it." Miss Charlene put down the account book in her hand and looked at the quiet girl sitting aside.

"Well, used to it." Lorrain Hill nodded. In fact, she didn't have much experience in traveling alone, and she didn't know how to find topics and deal with strangers.

It feels like it's back to its original shape, the girl complains about herself in her heart. Although she knows a lot in theory, she can't do it in practice.

If the Pullman boy is here, he might have been acquainted with the people in the Chamber of Commerce a long time ago.

"Haha, I feel a little uneasy when I first came out, just get used to it. If you are sleepy at this time, you can take a nap and take a nap."

"Taking a nap? This is not so good, after all, it's here to be a guard."

"You still lack experience. When you are about to rest, look at the mercenaries who are accompanying you. Many of them are lying on the roof of the car and sleeping."

"In the daytime, there are usually few people directly attacking, because they have seen it all the way, and there is time to prepare and wake up the entourage."

"But it's different at night. Many attacks happen at night, so most adventurers and mercenaries take turns to watch at night to ensure vigilance and combat power."

"In addition, be careful even in densely forested places. Such places are also suitable for ambushes."

"That's it, I know." The girl nodded.

"Very good, let's take a break now, the journey is still long, try to save energy and physical strength." Miss Charlene suggested.

"Yeah." Lorrain Hill nodded, then moved back, leaning against the cargo ring, and the sword was holding him in front of him.

After closing his eyes, Lorrain Hill felt something draped over him after a while.

"Looking so young..." Miss Charlene's emotional voice heard in her ear, and then the rustle of the pen across the page.

Along with the bumps of the carriage, Lorrain Hill fell into a half-sleepy dream, and only woke up at dusk. She rubbed her eyes, uncovered the blanket on her body, and walked off the carriage. At this time, the sun was already sinking, and there was a little afterglow among the flaming clouds, shining on the upper branches of the branches on the side.

In the surrounding open space, caravan crews are setting up tents, and others are making fires and cooking, coming and going.

Seeing everyone busy with things, Lorrain Hill felt a little uncomfortable standing aside, and wanted to find something to do, but didn't know what to do.

After scanning the surrounding area, she saw Charlene standing in the distance talking to someone, and walked over.

"Here we need to add a brazier at night to light it up. In addition, the wagon that makes people go disgraced. There are a pile of iron chains and bells in the cargo of the wagon, which are taken out and tied to the mountain forest to the east."

"The woods there are too dark to see clearly. I am afraid that someone will sneak in at night.

"Okay, Miss."

"Well, remember to leave a pile of bonfires at the beginning and the end of the camp at night. Let the night watchman divide into two groups, take care of each other, and walk back and forth from time to time, so that you won’t be able to fall asleep, and you can also check the situation on the other side. Let people sneak in without knowing it."

"I understand, it's all customary."

"It's good to understand, I'll emphasize it again, it's better to spend more energy to do this kind of thing than to be negligent."

"Yes."

"That's it, you go to work first, remember to arrange a batch of personnel before dinner."

After speaking, the middle-aged man beside Miss Charlene left.

Charlene, who turned around, saw Lorrain Hill and waved her to pass.

"How's your sleep?"

"It's okay." The girl was a little embarrassed, obviously she was working as a guard, but she was sleeping.

"Hehe, I've adapted pretty quickly." Seeing that the blonde girl was a little embarrassed, Charlene smiled and patted her on the shoulder.

"At night, it will be a burden for you. You have to take turns to watch the night with other mercenaries."

"No problem." The girl nodded.

"Well, get used to it slowly. By the way, if you are bored at night, you can chat with those mercenary uncles. Although they love bragging, some knowledge and experience are still very useful, especially for newcomers like you. ."

"Otherwise, let me think about it. Remember to prepare a blanket, it's still colder at night."

"If you really encounter a night attack, remember to wake others up, and then respond carefully. Although the attackers are generally not strong, they use methods but they have no scruples. Poisoning, sprinkling ashes, setting fires are all possible. ."

"That's it. Before it's dark, turn around and get acquainted, and then come over for dinner."

After speaking, the Miss Charlene patted Lorrain Hill again, and then walked to the middle of the camp.

Lorrain Hill picked up the scabbard, looked back at the surroundings, and then walked up the hillside to the east, which was relatively high and could overlook many places.

This is a clearing near a small river, with a hillside to the east, a river to the west, and a slightly flat field in the north-south direction. Even if it is night, if you want to attack from the plain, it is probably easy to find, so it is also the east. Pay more attention.

The mountains are full of fallen leaves, and a few stones are exposed from the fallen leaves, and there are moss in them, which does not look like the usual people passing by.

Lorrain Hill held the sword and patrolled the surrounding area. When the sky was about to press down, he heard the sound of bells ringing in the camp and walked back.

Dinner is still boiled potatoes and vegetables, paired with naan bread, everyone sits in a group, eating and talking.

"I heard that your wife gave you a boy this time. Congratulations." After the caravan sat down, they talked to each other about housework.

"Hey, although it's also a happy event, but I feel a lot of pressure. I can't drink recently. I have to save some money to buy meat for the child's mother to eat."

"Haha, it's really hard not to drink. But for the sake of children, he is still a good man." The companion smiled and patted him on the shoulder.

"It's okay, I'll give you some drinks when I have alcohol. It's fun." Several people chatted and laughed again.

The campfire where Lorrain Hill sits are all temporarily hired guards. There are about 10 people. Most of them are wearing armors. The ages are generally 30 years and above. Except for the girls, there are only two younger faces. .

Wearing a dark green robe with cloth on his head and a row of potion bottles tied to a belt around his waist, he looked like an alchemist. The other has a face like a thin monkey, with a scimitar slung by his side, and wearing a light leather robe without armor.

The two of them are not very lively personalities. One was busy flipping through the thick and yellowed book on hand while eating, while the other looked straight at the campfire, seeming to be in a daze.

"Come on, little girl, have some hot soup." After the girl sat down, a bearded uncle handed over a bowl of boiled hot potato soup.

"Thank you." Lorraine Hill took the hot bowl, smelled a slight mushy smell, it seemed that the cooking time was not short.

After a simple dinner, a group of mercenaries assigned the following order, and Lorrain Hill was assigned to guard the middle of the night.

At night, the caravan members returned to the tent to sleep, and only a few figures remained by the campfire.

The flames were burning cracklingly, and everyone was sitting on the wooden piers beside the bonfire, some checking their belongings, and some stroking their weapons against the firelight to see if there were any curls or dullness, and whether they needed to be polished.

"How old is the little girl, she will come out to work at this age." The bearded uncle sat across the bonfire, looking at Lorrain Hill in a daze and asked.

"Me? Probably 17." The girl said something against her conscience, her conscience aching.

"It looks pretty much the same." He picked up the wooden branch and set aside the dark fire.

"Didn't you continue to study? At your age, it should be the time when you make the fastest progress."

"Well, I want to make some money first and exercise."

"Exercise is really good, but to make money, it is better to take advantage of this to practice a higher sequence. Even if you are at home, someone will send you money over, ask you to help." The uncle said of his cliche experience.

"Forget it, I didn't look like it myself, so I didn't mess around with it, haha." Then, he seemed to think of something again, and touched the back of his head.

"You sit here now, I'll go and inspect as usual." After a while, he picked up the rough sword on his side and walked towards the night.

At this time, the campfire became quiet again, and under the summer night sky, there were a few crickets in the surrounding grass from time to time. The field reflected by the fire was dark and there was no end in sight.

After the girl sat for a meeting, she looked at the other two people. One was the young man with a scimitar before. He was now gently stroking the blade in his hand. The sharp arc blade reflected bursts of light against the fire.

"It's a good knife." The other mercenary on the opposite side held the sword and leaned on the cargo box, squinting at the opposite side of the bonfire, and said in his heart.

The young man holding the knife did not reply, but slowly retracted the knife into its scabbard and placed it on his knee again.

This knife looks a bit incomplete. Lorrainhill's light blue eyes lightly looked at the virtual screen in his sight, and gave an evaluation of the knife from above.

[Grey Dusk Scimitar] (Incomplete Gold Grade): It was built by a master craftsman hundreds of years ago, and now many places have been damaged, and the pattern array is also incomplete, but the surface has been repaired, and it looks like new.

Compared with this good scimitar, this young man's strength is average, only War Sequence 3, and his evaluation is only an excellent bronze level.

After watching Lorraine Hill for a while, he withdrew his gaze, and at this moment the uncle also walked back, but unlike before, at this moment the big sword on his shoulder pierced through two big fishes, and the fish's tail was shaking from time to time. Fan a few traces of water.

"When patrolling, I went to the river and walked around and got two fish as a midnight snack." He sat down again, picked up two branches, pierced the fish, and baked them by the campfire.

"After the baking is done, one person and a half, let's alleviate the greed." As he said, he took out a small salt shaker from his arms and sprinkled a little.

Soon the grilled fish exudes a tempting fragrance, and at this time the other two also turned their eyes to the grilled fish that was gradually browning.

"Haha, it's almost done, no hurry." Seeing the two of them look over, the uncle smiled a little, and then the grilled fish was divided into two halves, skewered with branches, and handed to several people.

"Thank you." At this moment, the silent young man finally spoke, his voice unexpectedly clear, which did not match the dull appearance. U U Reading www.uukanshu.com

Until then, when a few people were eating fish, the atmosphere gradually became lively.

"Where does this little brother come from?"

"I'm from the heart province."

"No wonder, the accent is so positive."

Hearing these words, Lorrain Hill keenly noticed that the young man frowned, and then quickly relaxed, as if he didn't want to attract the attention of others.

Then another mercenary and the uncle began to chat. Both of them were in the career of mercenaries. They shared a lot of topics. From the climate in the south of the empire to which seasons there will be beasts, and from the personality of the northern woman. The swords of a certain workshop are of good quality.

Although Lorrain Hill couldn't speak, he knew a lot of useful knowledge.

He was also pricking his ears to listen. At this time, the girl found that the young man was in a daze, and that it was true to listen carefully. The feelings were also a novice, but it was better to pretend.

From his appearance, he should not have much experience in traveling outside, like a child of a big family, but looking at the extraordinary sequence of his training, it is very average, there is no trace of physical exercise, and it does not seem to be carefully cultivated. Son of the nobility. Feeling a bit contradictory, Lorrain Hill analyzed briefly.

At this moment, she suddenly noticed something, and briefly swept her eyes around, slowly placing her hand on the hilt.

There were a few partridge-like bird calls in the distant mountains and forests. If you didn't pay attention to it, you might have been submerged in the surrounding insects.

Did you notify other people, or pretend to go on patrol, and solve it halfway, Lorrainhill hesitated for a few seconds.

"Thank you uncle for the grilled fish, I will also go on patrol and walk around." The girl with golden ponytail stood up in the slightly surprised eyes of several people, and asked the patrol to walk around.
