Chapter 229: Yo, You

"How much longer do we have to wait in this town?"

A low, irritable female voice with the metallic resonance unique to her bloodline rang out in the room.

Even without looking up at the speaker's expression, one could feel her thick impatience through her tone.

"We've been in town for two days, and it's been almost a month since we left Niumu. No matter how good the disguise is, they must have discovered it over there by now."

"Who knows, a whole team of Zi Xun Cavalry might already be on the way!"

"If we don't leave Pan Yun Xing Sheng Sheng, none of us will be able to run!"

The increasingly high-pitched and sharp tone woke Weirouer, who was leaning on the sofa by the fireplace in the living room, from her meditation.

Her neat ponytail swayed lightly, and her gaze looked toward the direction of the sound subconsciously.

She saw the only dragonborn in the team, "Sawa," who was covered in dark yellow scales, opening and closing her big mouth that could swallow a whole goblin cub, complaining to Wood about staying in Hegu Town for too long, which might attract unnecessary danger.

Regarding this, Weirouer actually felt that the other party was exaggerating too much.

After all, the team had only just prepared the supplies needed for the next journey yesterday afternoon.

If this half-day of time was enough for the pursuers behind to catch up, considering there were so many days of travel ahead, they were destined to be unable to leave Pan Yun Xing Sheng Sheng without avoiding battle.

Of course, she quite agreed in her heart with Sawa's behavior of urging and applying pressure.

After all, it was called an escort, but for their employers Haian and Wood, it was equivalent to running for their lives.

Every minute and every second was precious and worth cherishing.

For Weirouer herself, it was the same.

Wishing she could split every second into two, she had arrived in Hegu Town two months early, just to not miss this opportunity, which was the only one she could determine the specific whereabouts of the few people recently, and join the team.

And utilizing the arrangements made in advance during this time, including but not limited to the fabrication of her identity background, the rationalization of her own actions with the help of memories in her brain... plus some small means unique to spellcasters.

Even though she had never met Wood and Haian before this, she still successfully became a member of this secret team as an escort at a suitable time and appropriate place.

As for the reason why Weirouer went to such great lengths to join the team.

Naturally, it couldn't just be because of such a City Lord's second son from a remote city in the kingdom, or the two professional guards whose combined professional levels were probably only around five.

With the height she had once reached, and the confidence and foundation given by the massive amount of memories in her brain, even if the King of the Servia Kingdom stood in front of her, it wouldn't change her attitude.

Magical radiance flickered deep in Weirouer's amber eyes, and what was reflected in her pupils was the tall and straight figure of the dragonborn "Sawa."

This female dragonborn, who looked not very easy to get along with and likely possessed the bloodline of a brass dragon, was currently just an ordinary adventurer who hadn't gone far on the professional path and made a living by taking on various bounties.

But Weirouer clearly knew what height the other party would reach in the future.

The fierce breath under the blessing of the dragon bloodline, and the pair of magic dragon wings that could almost cover an entire street, made this dragonborn, who had an impure bloodline, mediocre talent, and a grassroots background.

In the early stages of the disaster, save the lives of many intelligent creatures in Pan Yun Xing Sheng Sheng.

But at the same time, the dragon flame from the heart was hotter and hotter, the thin sword stained with monster blood in her hand was sharper and more piercing, and she, who was trusted, was chilling when she betrayed, and the impact caused was even worse.

Not only did it cause the fall of several important heavy towns that could have supported for many years in the disaster as the front line of human defense, and countless people paid with their lives, and the hard work of many years was destroyed.

It also caused many human resistance forces such as "Master Moor" and "Man Quan" to die, the entire Pan Yun Xing Sheng Sheng was completely occupied, and Niumu, as the center of the province, was reduced to a dead city.

Until today, Weirouer still remembered the dead spirit cloud that enveloped the entire Niumu Cheng, condensed by dead souls and wails, re-projected by her colleague using memory magic.

Sawa was the main cause of all this tragedy.

And it was precisely because of this that Weirouer chose her as the first target that needed to be cleared in her plan.

Of course, it was also because the other party's current strength intensity was relatively average and within the range she could deal with.

And the distance was close, in Pan Yun Xing Sheng Sheng, and she even knew part of the other party's clear growth route, knowing that she would pass through Hegu Town as a guard for the Niumu Cheng Lord's second son during this period and complete an escort mission.

"Killing Sawa should at least be able to obtain more than 0.05% of the 【Fate Aspect Deviation Rate】, which can be said to be a very good start."

"But still have to hurry."

Limited by the few rigid and stubborn great existences above the River of Time, Weirouer could not, nor dared to, seek help from friendly forces that were absolutely reliable in her memory.

Everything had to be relied on herself.

Therefore, after realizing that she had the possibility of changing the future ending, she used the memories in her brain to formulate an extremely detailed action plan for herself, while improving her strength as fast as possible, she also screened the key nodes in her memory that could lead to world-line changes.

And the dragonborn Sawa was an extremely important part of the early stage of the plan.

The other party might make certain contributions to the people living on this land in the future, but compared to the bad influence caused by her betrayal.

It was absolutely necessary to strangle such a traitor in the cradle.

Time was limited, and she didn't have so much energy to study the other party's mental journey, to figure out whether Sawa had a heart of betrayal from the beginning, and the friendly actions in the early stage of the disaster were just to confuse those strong people and borrow the resources of the alliance to grow rapidly; or was it because of other reasons in the later stage that led to betrayal.

Carrying the heavy mission that could crush a steel-like will, Weirouer couldn't consider so much, and everything was based on the principle of efficiency first.

She only needed to know that once Sawa died, there would be no betrayal from the other party in the future, Pan Yun Xing Sheng Sheng and Niumu Cheng could hold on for a few more years under the impact of the disaster, and she would be one step closer to success.

As for why she didn't solve her directly the first time she saw the other party, but joined the escort team temporarily as a teammate.

It was because of a secret in Sawa's growth path.

This dragonborn with a mixed bloodline had talent that couldn't be called high, and the clan behind her was just ordinary, without any deep background.

Under normal circumstances, the resources she possessed were not enough to support her promotion to transcendental, or even higher.

Completing one job change and becoming a veteran professional below transcendental was already the limit.

But the other party in the previous life rose rapidly like a snowball.

Perhaps the future her might have obtained investment from various forces because of the initially rising strength and the corresponding improvement speed shown.

But all this, after all, needed a starting point.

A key node that allowed her to transform from a bottom-level adventurer into a potential figure worth betting on.

And according to the investigation of Sawa's growth process in Weirouer's memory, the other party's change started precisely from this escort mission.

Whether it was magic equipment or high-quality combat technique inheritance, the other party must have obtained some kind of urgent thing in this commission and turned it into the cornerstone of her rise.

Based on the principle of maximizing benefits, needing to improve strength as fast as possible, Weirouer naturally wouldn't let go of this opportunity.

Thoughts flowed in her brain.

The complaining sound of Sawa in the living room in front was getting more and more ear-piercing.

"Who else are we waiting for?"

The fine scales under her neck that protected her fragile vital points trembled rustlingly because of the fluctuating emotions of their owner.

The cold vertical pupils reflected Wood in front, and Sawa was extremely restless.

"It's just an escort mission. At most, there are some climate-less robbers on the road, or a few goblin communities. We are already enough."

"And to be honest, in just these few days, what kind of helper can you find in town?" ===== CHAPTER 230 =====
