3. The escape route (3)

After entering the tent, Soso did not go to bed immediately, but took out the blanket that Dillin had prepared for him from the space bag, covered it tightly and then lay down. Without Dillin by his side, he could only do things like covering the blanket by himself.

He looked at the tent and felt depressed.

The discussion outside the tent faintly came in through the curtain. Although their voices were light, Soso still heard Olive seemingly opposing something.

After a while, his consciousness gradually drifted away, and Oloff lifted the curtain and came in.

Suo Suo thought about it, but heard him say coldly: "Go to sleep."

"Oh." Sosuo readjusted his sleeping position and whispered, "Good night."

No response.

What will happen tomorrow?

Suo had insomnia for ten minutes to think about this problem.

The next day, when Souls rose, Oloff was packing things with Seton and the others.

Fiona came out of the woods and saw Soso, smiling affectionately: "There is a stream passing through the forest. Do you have toiletries? We're waiting for you here."

"Some." Sosuo walked along the position she pointed at.

The stream is very cool.

Soso remembered that it seemed that the weather was still warm when he entered St. Pades, and his hands were not as cold as it was.

He washed slowly, and after confirming that his whole face had been washed several times, he put away the things and walked back. Without Dilling by his side, he not only had to get used to his own things, but also to do everything well and perfectly.

"Wood, your scar is so sexy."

The laughter of the Charlotte Mercenary Group activated the entire quiet morning.

Suo Suo looked at the stout man in front of him curiously. His skin was very dark, the best protective color for action at night. His eyes were a lot of white, and when he looked at him, there seemed to be a flash of light. Most importantly, his teeth were very white. When he grinned, he felt a gloomy feeling with the newly added scar on his right cheek.

"I'll introduce you." Fiona said, "This is the deputy commander of our mercenary group, Wood. He is a seventh-level knight."

"Hello." Sosuo saluted him.

Oloff and Sitton keenly noticed one side of Wood's body, and seemed to want to get out of the way, but stopped halfway.

Wood laughed at Fiona and said, "You haven't introduced who this little guy is yet."

Fiona looked at Seitong's face, saw him nodding slightly, and then said, "He is the second prince of Gu Lan, His Highness Soso."

"Oh?" Wood showed a look of surprise. "Is our employer this time actually a royal family? That's a great honor."

Fiona was about to explain Soso's experience when she was suddenly interrupted by Seiton and said, "Let's get in the car first."

"Okay." Wood was busy setting off the road.

Soaring closer to Fiona, "Are we going to keep on the road?"

Seeing the obvious uneasiness on his face, Fiona spoke softly and said, "Your mission is beyond the scope we can currently bear. Therefore, the leader of the group must call on other members of the group to vote whether to continue to undertake this task. Of course, if the mission is cancelled, we will refund your corresponding gold coins, but not all of them."

She tried hard to liven up the atmosphere, but Suo's face still dimmed uncontrollably.

Fiona patted his shoulder, not knowing what to say. Although she tried her best to persuade Seton and Olive to continue the mission last night, Olive was very opposed. As the leader of the regiment, Seton has not yet made any statement, but she knew very well that if most members of the regiment opposed it, Seton would never deny the result.

The carriage still headed towards Bott City.

Before the mission was clearly terminated, they still followed the original agreement and took the small path to the south.

The team members returned to the team one after another.

Sosuo felt that there were always many eyes looking at him on weekdays.

Fiona had fewer and fewer opportunities to get along with her. Every time she appeared, she was always followed by Wood. He didn't like Wood's gaze when he looked at him, but he couldn't tell why, because Wood was smiling when he looked at him. Perhaps, he just didn't like the row of white teeth he showed.

Setong wanted to manage the entire mercenary group, and they were so busy that they were nowhere to be seen every day. Olive often wandered around, but the air conditioning on his body made him always alone. Soso didn't dare to get close. He found that although there were more people in the mercenary group, he was becoming more and more lonely. He wanted to ask Setong several times whether he would continue his mission, but he was interrupted by others with various reasons. Fortunately, the route had not changed, so he had to default to everything as usual.

Just as he began to adapt to this environment, Saiton suddenly came to his tent. From the day Wood appeared, Soso had been treated as a person and a tent.

"I've been wronged by Your Highness these days." Seton is Fiona's brother, and they are all people who are easy to get close to and give birth to good feelings.

Sosuo hurriedly said, "No, you are too polite, I live very well." This sentence is of course a kind lie.

Whenever he was lonely, he missed Dilin even more, and fortunately he would see him soon. Calculate the time, they had not met for nearly three months before they separated. He had to find him before Dilin completed all the trial missions and set off for St. Pades. He knew that in order to prevent him from returning to St. Pades, Marina and Purdou were guarding the border of Goulan.

Saitong sat down slowly and pondered: "Our Charlotte Mercenary Group has a total of 32 members. As of yesterday, all of them have joined the group."

Are there thirty-two? Sosuo only felt that strange faces always flashed in front of him, and he had never counted them seriously.

"The vote on whether to continue the task you entrust was twenty-nine votes against it, and three votes agreed." Saitong looked at Soso's face turned pale and said, "So, I decided to go to the nearest Meixiu City tomorrow to terminate our agreement."

Suo's lips shook, his expression was extremely depressed, but he nodded slowly, "Okay, I understand. I'm sorry for causing trouble for you these days."

Seitong only felt that his heart was pulled up by something. But he was an eighth-level knight after all, and had a will of almost steel. He quickly calmed down and said, "But don't worry, I will refund you six hundred gold coins. With this money, you can find another mercenary group. Maybe someone is willing to take risks."

Suo looked up and said shyly: "We have walked nearly half of the journey, and there are too many six hundred gold coins. You should get a little more."

Saitong put aside his face and stood up and said, "It was us who took the initiative to terminate the agreement. This price is already our advantage."

"Thank you." Suo Suo's white and tender face was full of gratitude.

Saitong smiled, then turned around and got out of the tent, letting out a deep breath, looking up, only to see Fiona standing not far away, looking at him mockingly. "Fiona." He called in a low voice.

Fiona shook her head back to her tent. There were other women in the mercenary group, so he didn't have to squeeze in a tent with Saitong.

It's been dark very fast these days.

After dinner, Soso did not go back to the tent early as he did last few days, but sat silently watching them talk and laugh.

This is the last time I have had a meal together. He thought. Maybe he should cherish this time.

Fiona came over with a roasted chicken wing, "I roasted this chicken wing myself, let's have a little more."

Although Soso could no longer eat it, he was not good at refusing, so he took it silently.

"Hey. What are you talking about?" Wood followed Fiona's butt and chased after him.

A trace of disgust flashed in Fiona's eyes, but she quickly laughed: "The more you talk about your scar, the more you look, the more you look like an earthworm that can't get into the skin."

Wood sneered, "You said it was sexy last time."

Fiona said: "I didn't see it clearly last time."

Soso looked at Wood, then Fiona, and suddenly said, "Are you pursuing Fiona?"

Wood and Fiona were stunned at the same time.

Wood looked at Fiona awkwardly, "Your Highness the Prince really loves to joke. Haha."

Fiona said lightly: "It's not funny at all."

Wood shrugged and walked towards another girl tactfully.

Fiona suddenly whispered to Soso: "Don't sleep tonight."

Suo Suo was stunned and was about to ask what he meant when he saw the girl next to Wood coming over and pulling Fiona and saying, "My hair is messy, please help me sort it out."

Fiona patted Soso's shoulder meaningfully and let the girl pull herself away.

The dinner party ended soon, and Soso returned to the tent, with Fiona's words still circling in his mind.

Don't sleep? Why?

The surroundings gradually became quieter.

When he lay down, his eyelids became a little heavy, but reason always reminded him to stay awake when he was about to fall asleep.

About an hour passed.
