The camera returns to the hotel.
In the sky, on the eastern horizon, there is light shining through, and a new day has arrived.
Those who were preparing to get up early and rush on their way had already packed up in their hotel rooms, checked out with the hotel owner, and left in a hurry.
In one of the rooms, Denise from the mercenary team stood, fully dressed. And on the bed, lying on the bed was Zach from the mercenary team, his whole body wrapped in gauze, his eyes exposed, looking at the roof aimlessly.
Denise's eyes flashed and she said: "I'm sorry, Zach, I have to leave with Uncle Mulla. You are too seriously injured, so you can only stay, but I have asked the hotel owner to find someone who can take care of you. You are a very diligent guy in the hotel. He will help you with everything. As long as you don't give up, you will recover quickly. Then you can return to the team, with me and Uncle Mulla. Keep earning commissions.”
Zach said nothing, neither agreed nor refused, as if he had no interest in these things. He continued to look at the roof, motionless. If his eyes hadn't occasionally twitched, he would have been suspected of being a dead man.
The atmosphere in the room was somewhat depressing.
Denise bit her lip and couldn't help but said again: "I'm really... I'm sorry."
"I know that you like me, and it's because of me that you're like this. But... I really can't stay with you. Goodbye." Denise said, stepping forward and hugging Zha. He kissed Ke's forehead, quickly turned around and walked out of the room.
In the room, Zach's eyes flashed on the bed, his lips opened and closed, and he said in an undetectable voice: "I... forgive you..."
Denise did not hear this sentence and disappeared out the door.
"Da da da", Denise walked forward in the corridor. When she passed a certain room, she stopped again. She turned around and looked inside the door. She saw someone bigger than Zach lying on the bed in the room. Poor Cole.
"Da", Denise stepped in. When Cole saw Denise appearing, he immediately opened his eyes and shouted, extremely excited: "You... you can't do this! Denise, I tell you, you can't You can't leave me in this dirty and smelly hotel like this, they will kill me!"
"No, Cole, Uncle Mulla will pay the innkeeper the reward you deposited with him, and the innkeeper will find someone to take care of you. You don't have to worry about safety." Denise said, her tone a bit stiff.
"No! No!" Cole became even more excited, "You don't understand! It was precisely because I gave them money that they would kill me in order to keep the money. I don't want to die, please, Denise , take me away, take me away!”
"Cole, calm down." Denise said coldly, without any emotion on her face, "You should know very well that your injury makes it impossible for you to leave with me and Uncle Mulla in the hotel. Recuperating well is your only choice, who made you... so stupid."
"I..." Cole was speechless.
Denise didn't want to say anything more, so she turned and walked towards the door.
Cole shouted in despair: "No! Come back to me, come back to me! Even if I am really confused and do something stupid, you can't leave me here! I want to see Uncle Mulla, I want to Tell him! Come back here!"
Cole twisted his body vigorously and moved towards the bed. He stretched his neck and shouted for a long time, but there was no response. His voice suddenly became a little vicious: "Denise, I curse you, I curse you to die a good death." ! It’s all you who caused me to end up like this, otherwise... "
Suddenly, footsteps sounded outside the door again.
"Da da da… "
Cole's eyes flashed, and he regained hope. He stopped cursing, raised his head and asked, "Denise? Are you back?"
"Da da da", the footsteps were getting closer and closer, and then a 1.2 meter figure entered the room curiously.
The next moment, Pandora and Cole looked at each other.
There was a sudden silence in the room. Cole was already close to the bedside. With a "bang", he fell uncontrollably to the ground. He fell so hard that Cole couldn't help but let out a scream.
But Cole was not in the mood to cry out in pain. He just shouted and stopped, his whole body already shrouded in huge fear. Looking at Pandora with wide eyes, Cole's pupils shrank uncontrollably and his whole body trembled, like a helpless child cornered by a villain, he said: "You... don't come here, don't come here! I Wrong, I was really wrong, please don't come over, I hit me..."
Pandora ignored it and slowly tried to approach: "Big squirrel?"
Cole shouted in horror: "I... I'm not a squirrel, I really am not, please let me go, I was wrong. Ah, don't come over, don't come over!"
At this time, there was another sound of footsteps in the corridor outside the door, and Richard appeared in Cole's sight. Looking at Pandora strangely, Richard asked, "What's wrong?"
"scare-"
"Let's go, we have to hurry up." Richard said without asking more about the reason.
"Oh." Pandora responded reluctantly, glanced at Cole again, then turned around and walked out, walking away with Richard.
Cole took a long breath, and then he felt that he had saved his life, and then he felt huge pain pouring out of every part of his body, drowning his consciousness.
Outside the hotel, Richard took Pandora and turned his head slightly to glance at Denise and Mula who were about to leave. Without saying anything, he turned and walked forward.
…
Half a day later.
Richard took Pandora and appeared in front of a majestic city. Looking at the capital of the Emerald Kingdom called "Emerald City", his eyes flashed slightly.
This is a typical medieval city, with walls more than ten meters high and a wide moat. In a cold weapon war, it can become a strong fortress and a meat grinder for enemy soldiers, allowing the enemy to invest several times more. It cannot be broken even by military force.
However, perhaps due to the long period of peace, the city wall is not well maintained. Although it is majestic, it has obvious damage. There are cracks as thick as a thumb in many places, and the corners are covered with dark green moss and lichen, like piles of vomit.
The moat is even more smelly. Even in winter, you can smell the smell of feces and stinky water. It’s no wonder that medieval cities rarely had perfect drainage systems, and a lot of domestic garbage and excrement were dumped directly on the streets or into moats. Therefore, on modern earth, some historians jokingly call medieval cities "built on dunghills."
But this will not stop people from yearning for the city. Even though the current city called "Emerald City" is dirty and dirty, with sewage flowing across it, its bustling businesses and the royal palace built in it still attract many people. Moths flock to the flames.
Richard pursed his lips and pulled Pandora in through the city gate.
