Chapter 72 The last time
"This is our route." Raymond drew a finger on the map. Zheng Yichen looked at the route pointed out by Raymond. The route was through mountains, forests and rivers. of.
It is not a straight line, but it is almost a straight line. It is not like a normal road. If you want to reach the Dusk Church, you need to take a lot of detours. If you don't take detours, it is not the way for normal people to take it.
"...It's very difficult, but it's acceptable." John looked at the route pointed out by Raymond and said, "Isn't this the route required by the employer?"
"Of course. No." Raymond shook his head. John looked less vigilant. This was the route required by his employer, so he had to consider some additional risks.
The escort commission they accepted only required that things be delivered within the agreed time, but if they had to follow the employer's route... who could guarantee that the employer had no other intentions?
Since the employer did not have such a requirement, John continued: "Then we can continue to adjust the route."
Walking in a straight line is not necessarily fast, and it is not a plain.
If you want to reach your destination in a straight line, you must be able to fly, and there are no means of transportation like airplanes in this world. To walk in a straight line sometimes you will inevitably have to climb over mountains and cross rapids.
If you want to be efficient, you can only find places on the map that can be passed quickly. Even if some of those places are more dangerous, they are very skilled and can accept any danger.
"How big is the 'suppression' we are sending?" asked another demon hunter. If the suppression is too big, their route adjustments will become even more limited.
"It's not big, just a box." Raymond gestured at the size of the box. What Zheng Yichen wanted to complain about was that the box should be big enough to fit a human head.
"This way there will be no problem. Leave the route planning to me." John said confidently. A box that can just fit a human head is not a burden at all. As for him to plan the route It’s not just a random job.
When he was young, he traveled extensively, and his ability to use many weapons was accumulated during those years. The more places he traveled and the more people he met, the more he learned.
“What exactly is that suppressor?”
Zheng Yichen was also very curious about that thing. There were things with special power in this world, and the Hell Sword in his hand was one of them.
Raymond smiled and shook his head: "Don't be too curious about this. I've seen that box... It doesn't feel like a good thing. There are many locked chains on the box. , we just need to send this kind of thing to the place, too much curiosity can cause trouble."
John, who stared at the map, then said: "Yes, it would be dangerous if there is any ancient curse inside. In the future, if you find any abnormal containers outside, be sure not to open them easily.”
“I’ve learned a lesson.” Zheng Yichen nodded, put away his curiosity, and then said half-jokingly: "Uncle John, when you retire in the future, you can write one or two biographies about yourself if you have nothing to do. Maybe it will become popular."
"Biography? Who would read that kind of thing." John shook his head, Zheng Yichen's The proposal was exciting, but he didn't know his own culture yet. That stuff couldn't be written by rough guys like them. Why not try it with a bard?
"Two days of preparation time, then everyone will gather here." Raymond said.
"I will plan the route in these two days." John said seriously.
"I have to go back and arrange some things." Zheng Yichen did not stay with Raymond for long. He returned to his residence and said to Katrina: "Find a suitable buyer recently. Don't be too anxious. Just find the right one within a month." Zheng Yichen found the map at home and spread it out directly. Zheng Yichen had written down a lot of details on the map that Raymond had taken out before, and he could mark the main places. He didn't plan to stop by. Going to a nearby city was mainly due to the long distance and he couldn't take Katrina and the others with him on the escort mission.
Let them go to a city very close to the Dusk Church? This is such a wise idea. There are no airplanes or high-speed trains. But let it go. If something happens on the way, I probably won’t be able to find them in the future. They are witches, but they are the kind of people who can’t even see a wolf. A soft girl who can beat me...
This witch's combat power is a bit weak, even Elena, who has necromancy. She can use necromancy to summon powerful undead to possess her, but the summoned undead will make her enter a semi-crazy state. state, she was very powerful in that state.
It's as if the muscle restrictions are lifted and she becomes violent. However, that is linked to the basic attributes. Her strength is not strong. If she becomes violent, her strength will be increased by XX%. How much can it increase?
It’s better to stay in the city, wait for him to come back, and then move together. We have been stuck in this world for several months, and we don’t care about wasting an extra month or two. time.
"Okay, that's it. I'll try to come back within a month, and I'll keep the gun." Zheng Yichen made the arrangements for the future. He kept the shotgun and pistol, and took away the hand cannon. .
This is also the longest commission that Zheng Yichen has been out for. Before, it was only a week at most.
"It's getting late, let's take a rest." Katrina said softly.
Elena looked at Zheng Yichen and Katrina in the living room with a smile, then returned to her room with Zheng Yichen's laptop in her arms. She would sort out all the knowledge she had mastered when she had nothing to do. Recording it into a computer is more convenient than a book, but it requires electricity and is easy to break.
The good thing is that others don’t know how to use this thing. Even if someone from the church comes here, it is impossible for her to find out any knowledge related to magic, unless they can use a computer and know how to use it. Crack the code.
"You must come back safely." In the middle of the night, the girl hugged Zheng Yichen tightly and said reluctantly.
"...I won't leave in two days." Zheng Yichen gently patted the girl's shoulder. He always felt that it was very unlucky and dangerous to talk about this kind of topic at this time.
"I know, you should have a good rest when you leave."
Have a good rest tomorrow, the day after tomorrow, and the day after tomorrow. That means you don't need to rest today and tomorrow. So why don't you sleep tonight?
Zheng Yichen did not go to Raymond's home to exercise the next day. It was time to set off the day after tomorrow. Zheng Yichen checked his things one last time: "Just use birdshot and buckshot for weapons. You have practiced before. Guns, as for the rest...wait for me to come back."
At the meeting point, John and others are ready. Their equipment is considered luxurious among witchers, with new wallets and new maintenance. Later weapons and so on.
"Hahahaha, this is the last commission, it needs to be a bit ceremonial." John patted the brand new leather armor on his body and said with a smile: "In the future, this equipment will be proof of storytelling. ”
