Sword and Magic and Taxi

　　 Under Zhao Mai’s suggestion, the Paladins added some new equipment, especially things that can save lives in the swamp environment. Although they were unwilling to replace the temple armor with lighter leather armor, they finally agreed to reduce their load and prepare some swamp boots with a larger contact area.

　　 This kind of ugly shoes like duck feet makes it difficult for the female knights to accept. In addition, they are even more reluctant to put a layer of "thatch cloak" on the shiny armor. Zhao Mai explained to them that these local thatch can effectively reduce mosquito infestation and avoid the decline of combat effectiveness due to diseases. And in an emergency, you can also lie on the ground and use a cloak to disguise as a haystack to avoid the sight of beasts.

　　 "We will not back down," said a tall female knight.

　　 "Towards victory towards the heart." Zhao Mai smiled slightly: "Not towards beauty towards the trap."

　　 "It's no problem to prepare more. The cloak and moor boots are widely used by the people here, so it makes sense." Harou said, "Go and prepare, sister Elaine."

　　 "Yes, Captain Hyrou." When the Paladin named Elaine was about to leave, he dragged the tall Paladin beside him and dragged her out.

　　 These movements all fell into the eyes of Zhao Mai and Harou, making them feel a little embarrassed. Zhao Mai scratched his head, then stood up: "Thank you for your refreshment, Ms. Haruer, I'm full, and now I need to go back and continue meditating. Let's say goodbye."

　　 "Wait," Harou said, "Do you think Mr. Butcher is going out to ask for information, is this a good idea?"

Zhao Mai nodded: "This is not a question of good or bad, but the only feasible idea. I have tried it. The residents here are very wary of outsiders. They are afraid that they may leak something and cause harm by inexplicable enemies. How should I put it, the people here are in a very nervous state. If they don't handle it well, they may cause chaos. I think it has something to do with fighting with cunning goblins all year round."

Hazel also nodded: "I feel that way too. People here are very weak in faith. They don't believe that justice and kindness can bring harmony and tranquility. In other places, the Paladins of Aomede can easily be obtained. Help, but I’m afraid it won’t work here. Even if you buy it with money, it’s hard to get the real news."

"So, Butcher is our only and best choice." Zhao Mai said: "He never talks about his own life experience, but I can see confidence in his eyes, confidence that can solve all of this. It is because of this that I am willing to believe him this time."

　　 "I really hope I have such confidence." Harouer smiled and waved goodbye to Zhao Mai.

　　 Two minutes after the druid left, the door opened again. The tall female saint who had just left walked in again, her face with a heavy cloud of sadness.

　　 "What's the matter, Sister Camilla, what's the matter? Don't we have any gold coins to purchase equipment?"

　　 Camilla bit her lower lip and shook her head. After hesitating for a while, she said, "Captain Hajol, do you like this Druid Mike?"

　　 Harouer was taken aback, his face flushed slightly, but said in a slightly annoyed voice: "Of course not anymore. This is not when discussing personal relationships. Why do you think so?"

"Since you met Mike, you have become dependent on him. Sometimes you will follow your advice. We are the goddess's expeditionary knights, and we have a mission on our body. Carrying Mike has slowed our speed, and now there is another unknown source. Butcher joined. The man was so fierce that he almost clashed with us."

　　 "So, what does this mean?" Harouer shrugged.

"This shows that you are slowly losing the dominance of this team, and Mike became the leader without knowing it." Camilla said with an anxious look: "Hayrou, this expedition was given to you by the goddess. In the test, you must not fail. This is about raising your class and gaining greater power in the temple."

"You know I don't like power very much." Harou said with her hands folded and her mouth narrowed: "Of course, I also know that the promotion of the class can better lead you to complete tasks and win the favor of the goddess. But in the end we asked for it. It’s the goddess’s favor and the realization of its own value, isn’t it? Besides, I don’t think there is any problem with the current approach. Mike has been just suggesting and not ordering anything. I don’t think he is grabbing the leadership of the team."

"He's controlling you." Camilla put her hands on Harou's shoulders, and hugged her firmly in her arms: "What I worry about most is that you are too young to taste the taste of love, and I don't know this. This kind of relationship between men and women may contain poison. I also think Mike is very low-key and useless at first, but I don’t know why, he has a great influence on you. He is just an apprentice druid, there should be no place to attract you . Does he have a certain quality that makes you involuntarily close?"

　　 Harou was pressed on Camilla's chest, and after struggling a few times, he finally got rid of the danger of suffocation. Fortunately, I made a fuss like this, otherwise it would be really difficult to conceal Harou's flustered eyes and shameful look. If there is anything special about the Druid, it is his extraordinary knowledge and extremely fast on-the-spot response, able to handle things in unexpected ways. Harou has only seen this trait from her mage father, but maybe this is just the image of the father in the story of her mother's chatter? She wasn't sure what kind of attitude and feeling she was, but she firmly believed that there was nothing wrong with what she did.

"Sister Camilla, don't be like this, I'm not a kid anymore." Haruer pointed to the holy emblem on his chest: "I am still the paladin of the goddess, and the goal of the expedition is the most important thing for now. ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ will not be affected by other distracting thoughts. You have to have confidence in me, don't question my orders, let alone my motives, understand?"

　　 "Understood." Camilla nodded, but then said: "Wait until we find the Arch Druid, don't we need Mike to continue following us?"

　　 "Maybe, let's see how things change then." Harou's frowned, as if she didn't like the idea of ​​leaving Zhao Mai. She defended: "Maybe...we have found the Archdruid."

　　 "You mean Zhao Mai, it can't be him."

"I have a weird feeling, vaguely. I was wondering what the archdruid was referring to. Mike said that in the druid community, the elder and the strong are called elders. It is not called Archdruid. Is there a possibility that Archdruid does not measure combat ability, but knowledge?"

"You never think that Mike is a druid? I can't imagine a situation like that." Camilla shook her head vigorously, and said, "I think the druid is in the front, not in the back. And, even if We can't find the Archdruid, we still have the ability to complete the task and destroy the monsters of Lamashtu!

　　 "The goddess's will is to find the archdruid first. You should not change this."

"Of course, I won't question the goddess' will, I'm just showing confidence." Camilla said: "Captain, you have to fully believe in the sisters, we are your sword and shield. Mike, at best, is just a passerby. , Won’t stay long."

"I see, you can go out, sister Camilla." Harouer said with a smile ~www.wuxiaspot.com~Book friends are welcome to visit and read, the latest, fastest and hottest serial works are all at ~www .wuxiaspot.com~For mobile users, please go to read.
