The construction captain looked sincere.
Kant was slightly taken aback.
He didn't understand why Fatis' father didn't go through the construction workers from Suno, but made a big circle and let these construction workers from the Rhodok Kingdom Veruga deliver the letter from home
This is undoubtedly redundant, superfluous.
But on the retina, the system dialog box pops up suddenly.
[Ding...Temporary task release]
[Temporary task: Fatis's letter from home]
[Task Reward: Double Recruitment (Constant)]
[Introduction: Family affection is an indelible emotion. When a wanderer is still looking for redemption, the old father with gray hair longs for the child who made a mistake to return to his side.]
Temporary tasks appear.
Kant scanned the introduction first, and couldn't help sighing softly: "That's right."
As the introduction said.
This is the gray-haired old father's concern for the child who made a mistake.
He understands the plot, and he also understands the story of Fatis.
Originally radiant, the eldest son who was given great love and most sustenance by his old father, accidentally killed his own younger brother because of a dissolute courtesan. When he came back to his senses, he was in great pain and chose to exile himself, looking for redemption.
But as their brother's father, wouldn't the old man feel even more sad
For Fatis, he lost his brother.
For his father, it was the loss of two sons.
With the passage of time, time has diluted the gap. As an old nobleman, he has entered his old age, and he is always concerned about his son who has made mistakes. He hopes to return to his side, inherit the family, and start over.
"I will forward this letter to Fatis."
Kant opened his mouth, and at the same time reached out to pick up the thin letter from home and put it on his chest.
"Thank you very much for your help, my lord." The construction team leader hurriedly bowed to salute.
After all, asking Kant, who is a nobleman, to help deliver the letter is tantamount to disrespect for a commoner like him. If he encounters a stubborn old man with a bad temper, it is absolutely possible to ask the soldiers next to him to drag him down and whip him a few times.
"It's okay." Kant waved his hand.
Turning to look out the window, the night was already dark.
The light from the stars and the moon is like adding a layer of tulle to this world.
"Let's all rest."
Kant stood up and walked towards the second floor.
Manid and the five Salander riders followed. They all slept on the second floor.
After all, it is a post station, and occasionally it can be used as a hotel. There are three rooms on the second floor, and there are three Chase shops after tidying up. Not to mention them, even the 10 desert robbers can sleep when they come.
But for safety's sake, it's best for the 10 desert robbers to stay on the first floor.
These soldiers had no objection to the arrangement, and the construction workers dared not have any objection.
They brought blankets from Veruga, and they can be laid on the ground, not to mention that there is a fireplace in the living room, and the burning wood emits enough heat, which is much better than sleeping in a sandpit.
On the second floor, Kant has his own room.
After saying goodnight to Manid and the five Salander riders, he closed the door and lay down on the wooden bed.
No undressing.
Kant reached out and touched the letter from home in his arms.
His face was a little gloomy and uncertain.
Although he readily agreed when there were many people, but now he hesitates because Kant doesn't know if he, the current general, will choose to leave if he passes this letter from home to Fatis.
Such a thing has never happened in the game, because it is a virtual world controlled by the program.
But now it's the real world.
Fatis has his own thoughts and beliefs, and he also has remorse for his deceased brother and guilt for his old father. Maybe he will really leave the sentry oasis and return to Su Nuo in the system.
Now, let's be honest.
Kant didn't want to give this letter to Fatis, even if the temporary mission failed.
"Double the recruitment."
Scanning the task rewards above, Kant narrowed his eyes slightly.
Even if the number of recruits can be doubled, so what, it can't keep up with the value of Fatis.
This is a knight from a military aristocrat who is familiar with the Swadia Kingdom's army configuration and combat policy. He is equivalent to the general who will lead the Swadia army in the future. How could he let him go at will
Exhaling heavily, Kant had a gloomy look in his eyes: "Trouble."
Compared with the virtual world where data is king, reality is really troublesome.
Manid, these soldiers, and the construction workers all saw that Kant took the letter.
Even if Kant could order them not to speak out, Fatis' father could entrust this construction team or other construction teams, and it would not be long to hide it.
"Forget it, it's just a letter."
Kant closed his eyes, simply not thinking about these troublesome things.
He knew Fatis' character, and it was definitely the standard of a righteous knight.
At the most difficult time in the entrepreneurial stage of Sentry Oasis, he, a general with high hopes, chose to leave, which may leave an indelible impact on his heart.
Opening his eyes, Kant closed them again.
He knew Fatis was a good man.
Good people persist.
Fortunately, he is not.
The night solidifies.
The light from the station shone through the windows onto the sand outside.
Time passed little by little.
The distant sky lit up with a fishy white.
dawn.
In the kitchen of the inn, the smell of food has already appeared.
Desert robbers are baking bread and dried meat by the charcoal fire in the fireplace.
And just outside the post station, the construction workers from Viruga had finished unloading the materials on the carriage, and were busy with tools, and carefully began to dig a well beside the post station.
Kant also woke up.
Go down the stairs, where Manid is arranging chores.
After talking for a few words, the Sarande rider and the desert robber came over to have breakfast together.
They still have a lot to do.
"Lord, are you leaving?" The building leader was also a little surprised.
Kant nodded: "That's right, you guys have to work hard here. We have left some food and water. I think you also have your own bread and water, so what you left is air-dried meat."
"Thank you so much, generous lord."
The building leader immediately bowed down to thank him.
Kant chuckled: "Dig the well, and when we come back from afar, I hope to drink the clear water in the well."
"Absolutely." The construction leader nodded gratefully.
Without saying much, Kant continued to lead the team forward.
This post station is only one of the missions. Even after Kant reached the Stone Pass, he would inspect the surrounding Sanvaya Mountains, looking for an open space where he could arrange a logging camp, so that he could send camel teams and farmers to cut down the timber and transport it back.
Charcoal is absolutely indispensable in the process of boiling refined white salt.
The sun rises, time passes.
Early morning, morning, noon, afternoon, dusk.
Just when the sun was slanting westward, emitting layers of dim yellow light, and dyed the desert golden, the Sanwaya Mountains, which were originally like a majestic dragon, were already close at hand.
Kant's line is correct.
But when he stared at the coherent Sangwaya Mountains in the distance, a gap suddenly appeared there.
It is said that it was the canyon that appeared in the anger of the gods.
But now, it is the only channel through which Nalun Desert can communicate with North County of Xiongshi Principality.
Stone Pass is located in it.
Built on the south side of the canyon, close to the Lion Principality, the whole body is built with stones and wood from the Sanvaya Mountains. It is not a strong and defensive castle. It can deal with the castle without siege weapons, even armor and iron Gnolls with very few weapons can be called more than enough.
"Here we are."
Leading Manid and the cavalry to move forward, Kant breathed a sigh of relief.
A wide canyon lies ahead.
The fractures of the mountains on both sides are quite smooth, as if they were cut and removed directly, forming two cliffs.
The yellow sand has spread into the canyon with the wind.
There are broken stones and sand everywhere, and there are many dead trees that have fallen from the cliffs on the top of the mountain. Not many people have cleaned them up. They have accumulated here for many years, making walking on the road a bit troublesome.
The space of the canyon, which is close to a kilometer, is still considered empty.
The horse rode a short distance.
Just a thousand meters in front of them, the stone wall built by relying on the cliffs on both sides of the Jianshi Pass appeared in front of them.
