Chapter 25： six days

Chapter 25 Six Days

The carriage is driving on the main road.

Although it is the main road, it is only a relatively spacious gravel road, and the ground is not smooth.

The iron-clad wooden wheels of the carriage bumped and bumped, and Chen Lun sitting in the carriage was not very comfortable. Fortunately, soft leather is padded under the buttocks and the back, and cotton is filled under the leather, which makes the bumpy process less painful.

Floye seemed very happy.

She leaned against the window, looking left and right. If it weren't for the black satin covering her eyes, maybe it would make people think that she was curious about the surrounding scenery.

Chen Lun noticed that Floyd raised his chin slightly, and his small nose twitched twice, as if he was sniffing the fresh air outside. The shimmer of light from the rising sun shone on her face, making it crystal clear.

"Uncle Walsh."

Chen Lun poked his head out and shouted at the bald man driving the carriage ahead.

"Mr. Jack."

Walsh turned his head, picked up the round cap that covered his head and responded respectfully.

"Jack" is just a pseudonym made up by Chen Lun casually, and he also realized that other identities may be used in the future. Chen Lun made up the reason why he entrusted the Silver Dragon Chamber of Commerce to **** him and Floy to Amber City this time.

Brothers and sisters who came from the countryside went to big cities to join relatives...

As for why they can take out 5 gold pounds for travel expenses without blinking, who made this pair of brothers and sisters lucky and moved the Red Apple Church.

It was the Red Apple Church who sponsored the poor siblings.

Thanks to Brother Will, Brother Stoulton and Father Carter... oh, and Bishop Newman who is far away.

They are all very good people!

Chen Lun has already thought about it, and whoever wants to inquire about his origin will thank him at that time, pretending to be eager to tell everyone he meets. As for the fact that the Red Apple Church in his "hometown" Feicui Town was burned down by gangsters, Chen Lun said he didn't know.

As long as you howl in pain, you will be moved to tears.

"How long will it take us to go to Amber City?"

Chen Lun asked aloud.

"If all goes well, it will arrive in the evening of the seventh day."

Walsh thought for a while and answered truthfully.

Generally speaking, if ordinary civilians want to cross such a long distance to another place, they basically take a train or a ship, plus walking.

But Emerald Town is too remote.

The nearest train station or pier has to travel through mountains and rivers to get there, which is quite backward and closed. On the road in the wild, you have to be careful of robbers and robbers who are elusive, and you will lose your life if you are not careful.

The world of The Mysterious Age is quite magical.

Developed urban steampunk, backward country sword and magic, strange places directly black technology. It is simply an era of Elizabeth, Victoria, and Yanan across time and space.

"Seven days..."

Chen Lun couldn't help but look at Floyd next to him. He knew that the girl's life span was less than two months.

More than a tenth of it will be consumed on the way, and even less time is needed to find the materials needed for the mission. The situation is quite urgent.

Floy seemed to notice Chen Lun's gaze on her, and turned to "look" at him, smiling. She heard what Walsh said, of course.

"It doesn't matter, just treat it as a trip... I have never been to a place that is too far, and now I think about it and look forward to it."

"Then I can't let you die. Since you like traveling so much, after your 'disease' is cured, I will take you to see further places."

Chen Lun was talking, and suddenly thought of a scene.

The inaccessible places he traveled alone in his previous life did not lack beautiful and shocking scenery along the way. If there was a Floyd with him, wouldn't the player kneel down on the spot when he saw it?

Hey my mother, BOSS takes people for a walk!

Of course this is impossible...

With his intervention, the trajectory of Floyd's fate has begun to shift. There will be no more of that empty Yujie who kills without blinking an eye, the dead nun of the Red Apple Church.

Only herself, Floy.

Froy seemed to feel Chen Lun's smile. Although she didn't know what he was thinking, she was also infected by positive emotions, and the smile became more obvious.

Walsh, who was acting as the coachman, felt a little bit emotional, Your Excellency Jack is really a good brother!

For the sake of her seriously ill sister, she did not hesitate to travel long distances to treat her!

He was so moved that he even thought of the eldest lady and young master of his chamber of commerce. I want to receive less remuneration and refund some employment fees.

But after thinking about it, Your Excellency Jack is an extraordinary person, so he must not be short of money, so the idea of ​​refunding the money was immediately dismissed.

After thinking about it again, I want to add money.

…

Six days later.

The carriage was stopped suddenly.

It is very annoying to be interrupted suddenly when approaching Amber City, Chen Lun couldn't help frowning.

The road was full of dust and dust, and I couldn't take a good bath or eat a good meal. The environment of the hotel that was temporarily stopped on the road was not very good, and Chen Lun still wanted to enjoy it seriously after going to Amber City.

At this time, there was a noisy sound from outside the carriage.

Chen Lun's compartment was knocked twice, and then the curtain was lifted.

An accompanying guard stood outside and bowed his head respectfully, and said to Chen Lun:

"Your Excellency Jack, unfortunately we encountered robbers.

But please rest assured, with the credit guarantee of our Silver Dragon Chamber of Commerce, we will swear to protect you and Miss Floyd to the death. "

Chen Lun nodded silently.

"I trust you guys."

Generally, escorts like this are hired, and there are seven or eight fully armed guards accompanying them, and they don’t hesitate at all when they encounter small-scale robbers and bandits.

The curtain was lowered again, and Chen Lun heard Walsh negotiating with the other party.

But for some unknown reason, the conversation collapsed, and there was a crisp sound of metal friction accompanied by shouting and cursing outside.

Immediately afterwards was the collision of swords and swords.

"Want to go down and have a look?"

Floy said softly.

Chen Lun suddenly felt a little strange, this place is not far from Amber City, why there is such a wave of bandit organizations. And when they saw their well-equipped and well-acted guards, they dared to confront them head-on. These bandits were either large in number or relied on, or they had bad brains.

"Stay in the car and don't move, I'll go down and have a look."

Chen Lun nodded and said, opened the curtain and got off the carriage.

As soon as he went, he saw the guards and robbers fighting not far ahead.

The situation was as Chen Lun expected, dozens of robbers were massacred one-sidedly in front of the guards.

Their rusty axes and sickles slashed at the armor of the guards, causing no effective damage at all, while the sharp swords of the guards could easily cut through their leather armor and linen clothes, and the knife saw blood.

"Mr. Jack."

Walsh, standing by the carriage, saluted Chen Lun.

"Why did they suddenly start fighting?"

Chen Lun nodded in response, and then asked.

Walsh seemed a little angry, he pointed to the gang of robbers and said:

"I originally wanted to send them some money, but these guys insisted on checking the compartment...

Even if I, Walsh, die here today, it is impossible for these dirty **** to run into your Excellency and Miss! "

Chen Lun knew that the bald man was talking about the scene, and he knew his status as a superhuman.

Originally, Chen Lun didn't intend to get involved, but what Walsh said next caught his attention:

"Your Excellency Jack, I suspect that these people are engaged in human trafficking..."
