"Nice to see you again, IMON."
In the port of volantis, the air is filled with a strong smell of fish, flowers, feces, decay and decay.
Mia, the girl with a red ponytail on fire, still had two daggers tied to her thighs. When she saw him, she took the initiative to say hello to wesselis.
Naturally, the expedition is not mandatory. Many mercenaries join in and have the right to go back before signing the contract.
After all, everyone knows that exploring the ruins of varelia is very dangerous. It can be regarded as a narrow escape. If it is not forced to a dead end, no one will choose such a road.
But unfortunately
There are not a few people in this world who are forced to die.
"I'm not sure if I'm glad to see you, Mia."
Weiselis, who was wearing leather armor, heard Mia's voice, turned and looked at the girl in front of her, shook his head and said.
Mia was the first volantis he knew. It was also wesselis who put down the king's airs and made a friend as an ordinary person for the first time after coming to the world.
In fact, compared with being a high king, his words and deeds are watched by countless people. Wesselis's freedom in volantis these days seems to be more in line with his inner yearning, because he was an ordinary person in his previous life.
This is a dangerous idea.
Robert thought so, and then he died.
Since becoming a king is like a canary trapped in a cage, of course, he can't act recklessly, so wesselis cherishes this opportunity to go out alone.
But because of this, wesselis joked that he didn't want to see the girl, because the varelian ruins were in danger.
Mia's character is lively and straightforward. Naturally, she knows that it's not that wesselis doesn't want to see her friend, but that she worries about danger for her.
"It's all right. I'm glad to see you. It's enough."
The girl looked very optimistic, narrowed her good-looking eyes and smiled.
Mia may have a defect in her appearance. She is not a beautiful girl, but her eyes are beautiful and sunny.
"I believe the gods will bless me."
"If he wanted me to die, I would have died many years ago."
When wesselis heard Mia's words, his eyebrows widened slightly and smiled a little.
This feeling of free chat is really good, instead of facing all kinds of stereotyped and respectful faces every day. Mia's optimistic attitude also affected him and his mood became much more comfortable.
"Do you know our route this time?"
"No, we are not qualified to know such secrets."
Mia shook her head like a rattle.
"These are the secrets that big people can know."
"Yes."
Wesselis thought about it and nodded approvingly, without further questioning.
In his hands, he has a road map drawn by Jillian that year. In theory, this route can reach this lost civilization through the layers of obstacles in the sea of smoke.
Just after so many years, and now the fog riots, what kind of things and changes must have taken place in the sea of smoke. This road map still doesn't matter. Wesselis doesn't know.
However, he did not expect to succeed in exploring the secret at one time. He mainly followed the large forces to let them explore the way. If he failed this time, he could call bellerian to take him away and look for another chance.
But while wesselis was talking to MIA.
Woo——
A melodious horn sounded from the port of volantis, and twenty warships of different sizes were ready.
On the coast stood thousands of explorers, most of whom were slaves.
Volantis's consul is powerful, and the tiger party has lost its dominant party position in nearly 300 years since the end of the bloody century war.
The elephant party has always firmly controlled the volantis government and maintained the position of more than two consuls.
Wesselis and Mia were not very conspicuous in the vast crowd. He met the 'boss' who organized the operation, the only ruling official of the tiger party, malajo megaya.
This is an old man with bare teeth and little hair left. However, riding on the elephant's back, he still wears military clothes and bright eyes, which is worthy of the reputation of the tiger.
"This is an old tiger. If it's not necessary, you'd better not provoke him."
"IMON."
Mia whispered in wesselis's ear.
Wesselis claimed to be an adventurer from telosi in the expedition.
Telosi is not far from volantis, but it is not too close, and telosi also has many people with silver hair and purple eyes such as wesselis, so it is not strange.
Moreover, telosi is very close to westero, so some residents on the island can speak westero's common language, and wesselis happens to be able to switch between the two languages seamlessly. Naturally, there is no doubt.
Wesselis nodded slightly when he heard the girl's words.
"Well, I know."
Then he felt the stern eyes of the Archon maragio's Pro guard, and the two closed their mouths together, not wanting to make trouble for themselves.
Malacho megaya, the "late tiger" in military uniform, is sitting on the back of the elephant, with a straight back and a loud voice, while weseries below is lack of interest.
He didn't know how many times he had heard this stereotyped morale boosting routine, and he had always played the role of speaker before.
He thought that his impassioned speech had brought the soldiers' excitement and high morale.
Now, mixed in the crowd, wesselis only heard the whispers and sneers of the people around him, and discussed whether the old thing could be 'raised'.
"It turned out to be such a taste to listen below."
Wesselis had not heard it for a long time, so he forgot this feeling. Now it seems that he will reduce his speaking time in the future.
And when wesselis was distracted.
The old consul malajo finally finished his speech. Then the old man rode an elephant and left the scene surrounded by guards.
Of course he doesn't go by himself.
Everyone knows that exploring the ruins of Valeria is a matter of near death. Volantis has been killed several times before.
History has proved that the probability of surviving has increased a lot with more people, but no one can guarantee that he must be the lucky one.
This expedition is just a counterattack by the tiger party. We want to look forward to finding some ancient technologies, precious treasures, even magic, dragon eggs and so on left by Valeria from the ruins.
