Chapter 53 A sudden rainstorm

He has the body of a lion, speaks Common Language...and also curses a lot.

Ron always felt that he should have seen it in some work in his previous life, but he really couldn't remember clearly.

"Anyway, you guys should go to our trading post to take a rest first. We also need to go back and rest now, and then we will go to the location you mentioned. Maybe we can still find your goods."

Since he had no clue for a while and everyone was not in good condition, Ron could only suggest Su Linna and the others to go back to the trading post to rest and wait until tomorrow.

"Well, our horses should have been eaten anyway, and there is no other place to go." Su Linna had no choice but to say.

"But I still ask you to open up a safe passage in the delusional land as soon as possible. If, if you can really do it, there will definitely be a large number of businessmen and guilds willing to spend a lot of money to buy a road and pass through here!"

After all, the robbers in the Gobi Desert are still very humane. In many cases, they will just spend money to eliminate disasters. They may even spend money to hire a gang as bodyguards to ensure the safe passage of the caravan, but the monsters here in the fantasy land do not agree with this kind of deal. model.

If Ron and the others can really accomplish this feat, all those towns that rely on exploiting timid businessmen can take a break.

But regarding this matter, Ron was noncommittal - they were all still wandering around the periphery, and as far as they knew, they basically knew nothing about what kind of existence there would be - very few people could survive from the depths of delusion. When they came out, the so-called "crossing" delusion of these businessmen was just a side trip.

…

"Healing potion, blazing glue, poison..." After returning to the trading post, Su Linna and the others settled down in the guest room, while Ron and others began to work. He asked Lavinia to help them make the A collection of alchemical potions to carry around - both for healing and combat applications.

Ron is also planning to learn two more commonly used spells from Lavinia in case of emergency.

Victoria frowned and walked around the nearby villages built by the villagers. When she held a shield made of scrap wooden boards, her eyebrows came closer.

"This thing definitely can't resist the claws of an energy gryphon, although I have only heard of those creatures."

"I would like to lend you the tower shield, but you probably can't lift it." Ivy said without raising her head while washing clothes with the borrowed soap starch.

In addition to reciting a spell, the spell caster sometimes also needs the coordination of gestures and materials, otherwise the spell casting may easily fail. Therefore, most spellcasters will avoid carrying heavy armor and shields, and it is best to wear a light robe like Ron's.

Even if Victoria could lift the tower shield, she could only be used as a half-baked warrior since she couldn't cast spells, and her role as a priest was over.

"Forget it, let's make do with it." Victoria took out the guest form registered a few days ago, "I'll go back to Frome Town when I have free time."

As for the other two, there is nothing to prepare for. For Sera and Drayford, being healthy and getting enough sleep is the best preparation.

"Oh, are you going out?" Early the next morning, Su Linna saw Ron and others gathering at the door and greeted them.

Her eyes fell on Victoria's "shield", and the latter obviously noticed the sight of the bronze dragonborn. He turned his head in embarrassment and urged Ron to leave quickly.

"Actually, you don't have to be so embarrassed. This is the normal behavior of adventurers. It's different from guards, right?" Ivy comforted, "When I was most embarrassed in the past, I had to 'borrow' some from the farmland on the roadside. Using farm tools as weapons to complete commissioned tasks is pretty good for us now.”

"But you are the least qualified to comfort others right now, right?" Ron glanced at her, "That person's current equipment is probably the most valuable in the team, right?"

"You get what you pay for!" Ivy put her hands on her hips and retorted, "Without me, all the trophies you collected would have been exchanged for healing potions!"

This is true. In so many battles in which the weak defeated the strong and the weak defeated the strong, thanks to Ivy's death in the front, otherwise Victoria and Sera alone would definitely not be able to hold up the defense line.

Ron, the mage, couldn't find a foothold. It was convenient to prepare spells - just use the shield spell.

The noisy journey along the way was one of the regular routines of their team, but it was a pity that the weather was not kind to them. After traveling for half a day, the sky suddenly turned gloomy, and lightning flashed across the cloudy sky, followed by the horizon in the distance. A muffled thunder rolled over.

The storm is coming.

"Ah! I hate this damn weather!" Sera shook the water on her body angrily like a cat, "This place is no different from the north before. Heavy rain comes at any time!"

"My clothes are sticking to me!"

"That's because you haven't seen the rain after autumn - the town of Frome is too dry." Victoria raised her "shield" to block the rain. "The continuous drizzle has been pattering for several months. It’s called annoying.”

What bothered her the most was the duty of standing guard during that season. Regardless of whether she was wearing long boots or short boots, she couldn't even think of running away. Once she took them off when she got back to the dormitory, she couldn't even think of leaving anyone in the house - it was still raining outside.

"The weather in Rose City is pretty good. There will be many handsome guys and beauties taking this opportunity to have sex in the rain, and then my pub will make money," Ivy said with a smile, "And in that kind of weather, mom can't wander around. ——The stories she tells are as delicious as the scones she makes!”

Ron could feel the obvious alienation between Sera and Victoria: Ivy's past was a real and critical blow to two people whose families were not so happy.

"We didn't have scones to eat at that time," Drayford muttered, "but rainy days are great weather! The prey's view is blocked and they are not as active, so it's a good time for hunting!"

Ron didn't join in the conversation. He grew up in the South when he was a child, and grew up in a northern town as a teenager. After studying, he went to a place further south, so whether it was a downpour or a continuous drizzle, he had experienced it. If anything, he didn't really like the rainy season in autumn and winter - it was extremely cold in the room, especially when he was cleaning instruments for experiments.

The ultrasonic cleaning machine in the laboratory is what he is most willing to use at this time. Although the buzzing is annoying, the water inside is usually not too cold.

"This should be the place where they were attacked," Ivy's eyes penetrated the rain curtain, pointing to a rough field beside the road.

There, a carriage overturned on the side of the road and seemed to have been violently dismantled, with broken boards scattered on the ground.
