Chapter 711 - The Best Hiders Cannot Escape From Patient Searchers (2/2)
“I would love to get on it, but look behind you,” said the girl teasingly.
Roland looked back, only to see that Andonara was staring at the girl rather angrily.
“If I get on your cloud, you woman will probably slash me.”
At this moment, every player knew that Roland’s woman was a queen and a Great Swordsman.
Her strength was almost unparalleled, and she could be quite jealous. “Then I’ll just follow you.” Roland hopped on the cloud.
At this moment, Andonara ran to him and said, “Roland, I’m coming with you.”
“Defend the home for me,” said Roland solemnly, “in case this is a ruse or distraction. If both of us are gone, the defenses of Delpon will be weakened by at least two thirds.”
“Okay, got it.” Andonara was reluctant to let him go.
She was getting more and more attached to Roland,
Especially after they slept together. When nobody was around, she even wanted to stick herself to him like a dodder.
Roland flew all the way to the west with the Summoner girl.
He had to admit that the Summoners really had a lot of advantages.
The white horse galloped at full speed. When it tired, the girl would summon a new one.
Just like that, it took them only half a day to travel more than seven hundred kilometers.
The Summoner girl was quite at ease, since she didn’t have to walk. She could also regenerate her magic power on horseback.
Roland, on the other hand, had spent almost one third of his magic power on the Cloud Flight spell.
After they reached a desolate place, the Summoner girl waved at Roland. Roland descended from the sky and asked, “What’s wrong?”
“This place is about fifty kilometers from the enemy’s nest.” The girl sat on the horse and stared at Roland in the eyes. “You’re too obvious a target in the sky and may alarm the enemy.”
That was indeed true.
Roland looked at the lush woods up ahead and felt a headache.
“The trees here are too dense. I’m not good at moving in the woods. It may take me a whole day to cover the fifty kilometers on foot.”
That couldn’t be helped. As a Mage, Roland always traveled by flying or teleporting.
He had never walked through a forest before.
He could pass through the woods that weren’t too dense on foot.
However, this wild forest had a lot of vines and weeds growing indiscriminately on the ground.
Roland would rather give up, knowing that he couldn’t make it through.
He couldn’t create a trail with magic, which might alarm the enemy.
“Why don’t you take my horse?” The Summoner girl patted her horse. “We can ride it together.”
Roland was slightly surprised. “You don’t mind?”
“Why would I?” said the Summoner girl with a smile. “It’s just like carrying someone on a motorbike.”
Fair enough.
Roland got on the horse.
The Summoner girls of the Phoenix Guild had all chosen the elven bloodline. They were all half-elves.
One of the features of the elven bloodline was their high mobility in the woods. When they walked in forests, all plants would miraculously make way for them.
Roland had the elven bloodline too, but it was in a different branch.
When the Elven Summoners leveled up, they would become more and more intimate with plants.
Roland, as a Sword Dancer, which was a sub branch of Mages, would be more intimate with elements after he leveled up. The two routes were different.
A pure-blooded elf would be strengthened in both ways no matter which route they took, except that they would be better at one aspect than the other.
The white horse moved through the woods, and the Summoner girl summoned a lot of creatures to protect them. The vines and weeds ahead of them were separated, creating a path that was wide enough for a medium-sized creature to pass. The white horse trotted on it gracefully.
Roland sat behind the girl and smelled a vague fragrance from her.
The fragrance was very enjoyable.
However, his heart was absolutely tranquil.
That couldn’t be helped. Andonara had already drained him the previous night.
Vivian had joined them too. He couldn’t have weathered through it without taking a Dragon Meat Reagent.
The two of them were silent all the way.
Roland didn’t want to speak, because he didn’t want anyone to think that he flirted with her.
The fifty kilometers took about two hours.
After they reached the dark back of a hill, Roland vaguely saw fluorescence up ahead. When he got closer, he found that it was a unicorn that was glistening in the dark.
Roland jumped off the horse and walked over.
Four girls were chatting there. They all exclaimed to see that Roland was riding the same horse as their partner.
The girl who rode the horse was rather shy. “Stop making a fuss or I’ll bite you.”
The other three girls instantly laughed.
Solisa, on the other hand, approached Roland and said, “We searched for more than two months and finally found them.”
“Where are the liches?”
“Right behind this hill, there’s a flat ground and a lot of altars,” said Solisa. “Based on the investigation of the animals under our control, at least ten liches are there. There are also a lot of Warriors and at least thirty thousand bodies, which seem to be all from players. It’s enough for them to fight a war.”
Roland thought for a moment and said, “I was told that many players sold their bodies for money. This is probably where their bodies ended up.”
Solisa said in disdain, “Aren’t they afraid that their bodies will be used for evil?”
Generally speaking, few of the players who sold their bodies were girls.
It was because when they thought that their bodies would be at the mercy of the liches, who might do disgusting things such as cutting their guts out, they all dropped the top.
But of course, there were also unconcerned female players who would sell their bodies multiple times to raise initial capital.
“Why would you stand if you can make money by lying down?” Roland didn’t consider it morally unacceptable that the players sold their bodies for money. “Have you seen those liches?”
“I haven’t. They all wear wolf masks.” Solisa leaned against the tree and crossed her arms before her unremarkable breasts. “Also, we’ve noticed many professionals who had unique vibes. Although they wear wolf masks too, I think they’re players.”
“Then this is definitely our destination.” Roland took five bags of gold coins from his system Backpack, because it would be easier for them to take and count this way. “This is your reward that we agreed upon.”
Solisa squatted and opened a random bag. Her eyes were almost blinded by the glittering gold. “Didn’t you say that the five hundred gold coins would be paid over a year?”
“I’ve changed my mind.”
Roland was very rich at this moment.
The Church of Light had delivered two large sums of gold coins to him in the past two months. Plus the incomes from the previous months, he had a thousand gold coins in his treasury even though he had spent a lot.
It wasn’t a big deal for him to make a full payment.
Putting the five bags of gold coins in her system Backpack, Solisa asked with an adulating smile, “Boss, do you need muscles or fighters in the battle later?”
