Chapter 9 Let’s go!
Two or three days had passed since that night at the brothel. During that time, Roger had set up a stall at the Mercenary Guild for two days, but he really didn't recruit many people. He was worried about the newcomer, and the veterans looked down on him, so he simply didn't go on the last day. He stayed in the hotel and carefully studied the newly developed Guardian Eye.
Under Lilith's careful care, Carol's condition has improved, her internal injuries have begun to dissipate, and her fighting spirit has slowly gathered.
Surprisingly, it was through Carol that Roger learned that she was actually an eighth-rank swordsman. That day, she was captured because she was besieged by two swordsmen of the same level and a magician. Hearing this, Roger wanted to recruit her, but when he remembered that she was the deputy leader of a mercenary group, he gave up the idea.
Ever since learning that Randy had an A-level order, Elfa and Matar were eager to try. They had been practicing in the empty courtyard of the hotel these days. In his spare time, Roger could always hear the clanging sounds of metal and the roars of Elfa and the others coming from the courtyard.
Sometimes Randy would join in when he felt like showing off his skills, and the three of them would fight back and forth, making the entire courtyard a mess with dust and potholes everywhere. Although the innkeeper felt sad that his nice courtyard had been ruined into such a state, Roger had already paid enough gold coins as compensation, which made him feel a little better.
Because the task list has a handover time limit, mercenaries in nearby towns must rush to their location and hand over the task to their employer within seven days after receiving the task, otherwise the mercenary union will invalidate the task list and issue a new one. So Roger estimated that it was time to set off for the employer's location today.
Carol's injuries have recovered a little, and she is ready to return to the Land of freedom. Roger did not try to keep her, but because he was worried that she was injured and something might happen on the way, he asked Lilith to go with her and send her to the border.
With such a high-level demon by her side, there will generally be no problem as long as they don't encounter beings of the level beyond them. Roger felt more relieved.
Although Carol didn't know why Roger arranged for a magic apprentice to go back with her, she saw that Roger and Lilith were very friendly to her in the past few days, and she and Lilith had a very good relationship, just like a pair of sisters. She thought that Roger was afraid that she would be bored on the road, so he specially asked Lilith to accompany her to relieve her boredom.
The four men saw Lilith and Carol off, then bought four good horses and hurriedly set off for their destination, the island in the middle of the lake - Klin.
To the east of Kulun City, about half a day's ride on horseback, there is a vast freshwater lake called Meadow Lake. The lake covers an area about ten times the size of Kulun City. The water there is clear and looks sparkling blue from a distance. In addition, the shores are lined with green trees, birds are singing, and flowers are blooming. The scenery is picturesque, so it is also called the "Sapphire of the Goddess."
