"Probably gold coins are used as the unit of measurement." In DeWitt's mind, the impression of the centaur market is always shrouded in a layer of fog.
"Really?" Abel recalled the young owner of the rice shop, and felt a little strange in his heart.
The luminous magic weapon was kept in Abel's arms, the previous plan was cancelled, and the scouts moved forward for about three hours.
"We still haven't been able to reach the flat land we planned." Finally, when it was time to rest, Abel sat on the suitcase and panted.
DeWitt laughed and said, "Leave early tomorrow, and you should be able to get there before noon."
It is not easy to find a suitable place for dozens of people to sleep together in the forest. We spread out in small groups and searched for about 20 minutes before finding a suitable open space.
Claremont struggled to cut down the green plants around the tent with weapons.
From time to time, one or two snakes were found running by. Claremont paid attention to this aspect, and after returning to the camp, he asked the logistics personnel to sprinkle a circle of lime outside the camp.
It's dinner time, today's dinner is also quite well prepared.
It is estimated that the logistics soldiers in the barracks were also very hard a while ago. Now I am looking for opportunities to make up for the lack of the previous few days.
"After completing this mission, what are your plans?" Claremont asked DeWitt and Abel beside him.
"Go back to the barracks and continue to be a soldier." DeWitt said without hesitation.
"Me too." Abel nodded.
"Of course I know that. I mean when I'm on vacation." Claremont looked at the two helplessly and explained.
The importance of this mission is well understood by everyone involved. Although there are not many people dispatched, as long as they can be successfully completed, the participating soldiers will definitely receive rewards from the lords of various countries. Naturally, vacations and the like are also out of the question.
After coming down from the mountain, the reconnaissance team has been going smoothly. This made Claremont unable to bear daydreams about the future in his spare time.
But DeWitt was always lacking in interest: "I didn't think much about it, I should stay at home and rest."
"Where is Abel?" Claremont asked Abel.
"I haven't experienced vacation much, if I have enough time: I would like to visit your country." Abel replied after thinking for a while.
"Really?" Claremont was overjoyed.
DeWitt was also a little surprised: "Dherim welcomes you anytime."
"Yeah." Abel nodded with a smile.
After a while of joy, Claremont remembered something, and said with a mournful face: "But Dherim has to walk for a month to get to the capital of the elf country. There shouldn't be any vacation that can last that long."
"That's right." DeWitt and Abel nodded together after they realized it.
"Abel, why do you want to come to Calradia?" Claremont asked.
"In the past few months, after contacting you, the idea of the human race in my mind has been subverted. So after the mission is over, I also hope to see you and see your country." Abel replied seriously .
Claremont and DeWitt looked at each other, so moved that they didn't know what to say. Finally, DeWitt broke the silence and said: "After we return to the familiar land, let's find time to get together in Cumberland. Although I don't know how long you can withdraw from your team, Abel, we still have the opportunity often You can travel there."
"Huh? Good! As long as you come to Cumberland in the future, I will pick you up." Abel said happily.
"It's a deal." Claremont said with a smile.
Beside the bonfire outside the camp, several Calradian soldiers were roasting their cotton clothes on the fire.
"I always feel that the clothes are getting heavier and heavier." Austin said helplessly, and then pressed lightly on the cotton clothes with his fingers, but the grooves that were pressed did not recover after a long time: it was really sucked Too much water.
Austin sighed.
"Will baking like this really work?" A soldier sitting beside him asked suspiciously.
"It feels like the smell of dampness has become stronger." A soldier leaned closer and smelled it on the cotton coat, and then said.
"Hey, stay away from the fire. Be careful that the sparks will burn a hole in your clothes." Austin yelled, "Isn't this the only way now?"
"I feel that baking for a while is not very useful, so I withdrew." A soldier couldn't wait any longer, picked up his clothes, and was about to turn around and leave.
At this time, an elf soldier passed by and asked curiously, "What are you doing?"
"Moisture got into the cotton of the clothes. It's so damp, we're trying to figure out how to dry it out," Austinger replied.
The elf soldier glanced at the wandering flames, shook his head and sighed, "Like you, by daybreak, you probably won't have any dry clothes."
"Why?" A soldier asked immediately.
"At least in my opinion, the fire didn't do anything to the clothes," replied the elf soldier.
A wave of spiritual power gathered in his eyes, allowing him to see the wandering elements around the fire.
"Then can you help us?" Austin has already seen that the elf soldier is a fire mage. asked hesitantly.
"Impossible, let me bake cotton clothes for you with magic?" Unsurprisingly, the elf soldier immediately vetoed it.
It's already tiring enough to run around on the road all day, and now I have to cast spells to do such unnecessary things. It was too unexpected. At this time, the elf soldiers only wanted to go back to their camp to rest.
When he raised his foot and was about to leave, Austin stayed and said: "As long as you help me with this, I will promise you whatever you ask in the future."
The elf soldier stopped, turned around and said, "Really?"
"Really." Austin nodded sincerely. When he was walking on the road today, he had already sneezed several times.
"So, you are the only one who asked me to help?" The elf soldier said with a smile.
"Me, me, me!" Several soldiers around actively raised their hands.
"There are so many people." The elf soldier made a thoughtful look, and after a while, he nodded and said, "Okay, but your conditions must be the same as his." The elf soldier pointed to Austin.
"Okay!" Everyone immediately agreed.
In the end, the fire mage invited a water elf as 'foreign aid'. The two were at the camp, under the watchful eyes of a group of Calradian soldiers: they had been busy until late at night, drying everyone's cotton clothes decently.
