Chapter 6 The Vulnerable Guest
At nine o'clock the next morning, I asked Xiu'an to drive a magic car to the temporary base established by the Engineering Office of the Infrastructure Promotion Department of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce near the east gate of Flantis City, and met Taylor as scheduled.
As soon as I got off the car, I saw a middle-aged man standing next to Taylor who looked about forty years old, wearing a black magic robe, with dark skin and a little dazed temperament.
"Let me introduce, Sordaq, these two are colleagues I mentioned to you yesterday. This is Yoshuan, this is Winnie. This is..." Taylor's puzzled eyes fell on Hawatt.
"This is my little nephew," explained Winnie. "Come on, Hawat, Aunt Taylor."
"Hello Aunt Taylor." Hawat immediately shouted in a crisp voice.
"Call me sister, I'm not that old." Taylor immediately smiled, reached out to pinch Havat's face, turned to Yoshu'an and said to Yoshu'an: "Yoshu'an, this is what I told you yesterday, I want to take your ride to the Chamber of Commerce. "
Yoshuan smiled and stretched out his hand to Sodake: "Hello, Sodake Magician. I heard Taylor say you want to join our New Flight Chamber of Commerce, and I am here to welcome it on behalf of the Chamber of Commerce."
Sodak, with the usual dullness and lack of sociality that most traditional magicians have always been, just stretched out his hand and held it casually with You Xiu'an, then immediately shrank back, forced a smile on his face, nodded and said, "I don't know if I can be attracted by your chamber of commerce."
Yosuan glanced at Sodak's chest without any trace. He found that the level badge that represented the third-level magician was hanging on his chest, and he couldn't help but frown slightly.
Judging from his appearance, Sodak is at least over forty years old this year. Some people even believe that he is fifty. However, at his age, he is still a mere third-level magician, which is enough to prove that his magical talent is not outstanding at all.
Generally speaking, it is probably not enough to enter the Magic Research Institute of the New Air Chamber of Commerce at his level.
However, if you only enter the Chamber of Commerce to serve as an ordinary magic circle drawing technician, there should be no big problem.
But anyone knows that entering the Magic Research Institute of the New Flying Chamber of Commerce is much better than just being an ordinary skilled worker, so even if Yoshuan is not optimistic about the prospects of this Sodak magician, he would not say that he could not join the Magic Research Institute of the Chamber of Commerce at all.
So he just smiled and said, "Don't worry, our Chamber of Commerce welcomes all magicians who are determined to devote themselves to the magic industry. I think you will definitely be able to find your own place in the Chamber of Commerce."
Taylor, who was standing by, was obviously aware of Sodak's magic level. He heard this and showed a deep smile on the side. Then he said to Winnie: "Since you are here, I'll treat you to lunch before leaving?"
Winnie shook her head: "I'm afraid this won't work. It will take more than ten hours to return to the main base of the Chamber of Commerce from here. If we set out now, we might rush back in the evening. If we have lunch before leaving, we won't expect it today."
"Why are you so anxious? You can rest in Anweimar City for one night before leaving, so as to save you from being so tired on the road. Besides, I remember Winnie, you haven't got your driver's license yet? You must have only let Yosuan drive alone on the way, and rest for one night in the middle to avoid being too tired on the way." Taylor said in confusion.
"It's okay, I'm used to it." Yo Xiu'an shook his head. "I have been driving around like this for the past two years. It's common for driving for more than ten hours at a time, and it's nothing."
Taylor glanced at him and couldn't help but shake his head: "You have been running around all over the ground in the past two years to promote infrastructure. It's really hard. But there are benefits. Look. If you weren't this job, how could the Chamber of Commerce equip you with such a newest high-end magic sedan? The original price of this car was 2,300 gold coins, and if you were asked to buy it yourself, it would probably take several years to afford it."
"Several years? I'm afraid I can't afford it for more than ten years." Yoshuan shook his head with a smile. "Okay, let's not talk about this anymore. Taylor and I are rushing to set off. Sordaq Magician, are you ready for all your luggage?"
Sodake took the bag in his hand: "Those are just these things, I was ready yesterday."
"Okay, put the bag in the trunk. Then we get in the car and set off."
Yoshuan helped Sodak put his simple and shabby greeting into the trunk of the magic rubber cart, and then let him sit in the front row. He waved goodbye to Taylor with Winnie.
After the magic car started, it was not long before it drove out of Frantis City and drove quickly towards the southwest.
Sodak, who was sitting in the passenger seat for the first time, seemed to be riding in a magic sedan. As soon as the car started, he sat firmly in his seat with a slightly nervous expression and did not dare to move at all.
It was not until the Magic Sedan drove out of Frantis that he relaxed a little and began to look at the decorations inside the Magic Sedan curiously, and asked YoshuAnd a few questions from time to time.
For the past two years, Suan has been driving around in this magic sedan, and his driving skills have long been perfect. After leaving Frantis City, the road is not as dense as the roads in the Kingdom of Lampari and the Dutch of Stantin, so it is extremely smooth. He has been speeding up and almost drove the magic sedan to the highest speed.
Sodak looked at the scenery on both sides of the road outside the car window and quickly retreated, and became a little nervous again.
On the contrary, although Hawat, who was sitting behind, was riding in a magic sedan for the first time, he became even more excited as the speed continued to increase. He widened his eyes and looked at the speeding scenery outside the window, shouting non-stop.
In just about an hour, the magic car had already driven to a place a hundred kilometers away from Frantis.
After the magic car just entered the woods, Sodak, in the passenger seat, suddenly turned extremely pale and ugly, and he suddenly covered his mouth with his hands.
While driving, Yosuan was paying attention to his situation. Now that he saw him like this, he immediately understood.
This Sodak magician is probably the first time he has taken a magic car, and then he finds himself...motion sickness...
Yosuan slowly slowed down the magic car and stopped beside the highway.
Without saying a word, Sodak opened the car door and rushed out, rushed into the woods, held a tree trunk with one hand, lowered his head and started vomiting.
Hawat looked at Sodak in the distance in surprise and asked Winnie: "Auntie, what's wrong with him?"
"Nothing, he's just motion sickness and wants to vomit."
"Then why didn't I feel motion sick?"
"Because everyone is different, some people will get motion sickness, some people won't. And you are a child and you are in better health," Winnie explained.
Hawat said oh, looking a little proud, and raised his little arm with a smug look on his face and gestured in front of Winnie.
Seeing that Sodake might not be able to come back for a while, Yosuan opened the car door and got out of the car. After coming to the side of the road, he took out a Hanru grass cigarette from his arms and lit it and started to suck it.
After a while, seeing that Sodak had basically stopped vomiting, he took out a bottle of warm water and a pill from the car and walked over.
"Give it, Sodak Magician, this is a medicine that can relieve motion sickness. You rinse your mouth first, and then take the medicine to get better."
Sodak turned his head and looked at the water and pills in Yosuan's hand with a weak look. He didn't even have the strength to make a puzzled expression. He reached out to take the water and rinsed his mouth hard, swallowed the pills in one mouthful, and let out a long breath.
"We..." When Yosuan was about to say something else, he suddenly heard a rumbling sound from Sodak's stomach, and he was stunned.
Sodak squeezed an awkward smile to Yoshuan and pointed to the depths of the woods in the distance.
Yo Xiu'an could only barely control the smile that was almost unstoppable and nodded slightly to Sodak.
"Go, we'll wait for you."
Sodak immediately rushed towards the depths of the woods as if he was running for his life.
After a while, he had disappeared into the dense jungle and could no longer see people.
Yosuan looked at the direction where he disappeared with a strange expression, then took out the same pill from his arms, looked around, and couldn't help but mutter: "Strange, will those elves still have side effects of diarrhea after taking the motion sickness medicine? After returning, I will tell the Yege tribe about this situation."
Perhaps to avoid embarrassment, Sodak ran far away so that he could not hear any sound.
Of course, he was not so interested in listening to the sound of others having diarrhea. He turned around and came to the magic car, took out some food prepared in advance from the trunk, and handed it to Winnie and Hawat each.
"It seems we will have to wait for a while, so we can just solve the lunch now."
Winnie took it in confusion and asked, "Didn't you agree to have lunch in Ferroyce City at noon?"
Yoshuan shrugged: "Our guest has something wrong. I think he doesn't want to eat until lunch, I'm afraid he won't think about eating this day."
"What's going on with him?" Winnie frowned and looked deep in the woods, but she could see Sodak's figure.
She was about to ask again, but suddenly she heard a rustling sound on the other side of the woods. After a while, about twenty people came out of the woods with various weapons in hand and instantly surrounded the magic car.
A strong man in the lead glanced at the magic car and Yosuan standing next to the car, then looked at Hawat and Winnie in the car, let out an extremely hideous laugh, raised the huge long sword in his hand, and said loudly: "Hey, you two, if you don't want to die, just be obedient to me!"
Yosuan and Winnie looked at each other in shock.
Is this... encountered a robber? (To be continued)
