The next morning, Junia came over to inform Lulunaka of their decision.
"I'll pay you accordingly. If you need anything that I can provide, I'll satisfy you," Junia said to Dina.
Junia said to Lurunaka. Lurunaka was cooking in an iron pot. The broth in the pot was boiling.
The aroma from the iron pot was refreshing, but Dina's face did not look too good.
"I can get such a generous reward just for being a guide?
I didn't know that I could be so lucky. "Lulunaka chuckled after hearing the amount of reward that Junia could provide.
"If possible, I don't want to look for you," Junia said.
"But only you know what's going on with the current disaster, and only you know how to get to this dungeon … If it's someone else who knows, it's not a matter of liking or disliking. It's a matter of credibility."
"That's a good judgment."
Lulunaka smiled. "Compared to others, the me you know is more trustworthy, right?"
At this point, Lulunaka put down the spoon that was stirring the iron pot and clapped her hands. "In that case, you should have experienced being teased and betrayed by those so-called arcane explorers, right?
Those are valuable experiences. Don't forget them. "
Lulunaka was probably right. When Junia heard this, his face did not look too good.
He did not say anything else and just turned to leave. "When you're ready, we'll gather."
Looking at Junia's back as he left, Dina, who was sitting aside with her chin in her hand, suddenly asked, "Who's that great and powerful knight?
Even such a big shot is so polite to you. "
"How is he polite? He's changed from a rebellious brat to this indifferent person." Lulunaka sighed. "I don't know what went wrong with his education."
After hearing Lulunaka's words, Dina thought for a while before continuing, "He doesn't look like your child."
Lulunaka nodded. "I'm an unmarried girl. How could I have a child?"
"She's clearly just an old woman …" Zendina whispered as she handed over a bowl filled with meat soup to Zhang Heng.
The bowl was filled with soup, and there was a large amount of meat. The aroma was very stimulating.
However, upon seeing such a sumptuous breakfast, Dina's expression wasn't one of joy. Instead, it was as if she had eaten a sour fruit.
Lulunaka was still smiling brightly. "What's wrong?
The larvae of rock crab are very delicious. Although the raw material is a little disgusting, after eating it, you will forget all the irrelevant things. "
Dina looked as if she was facing a formidable enemy. "Have these larvae ever eaten meat?"
Lulunaka narrowed her eyes. "Check if the villagers are being used as food in the digestive system. I've confirmed this before."
Dina hesitated for a moment before finally taking the bowl.
While the young ladies were enjoying their special breakfast, Junia gathered the knights who were ready to set off.
He gave an order that no one else had thought of. He ordered the knights to continue patrolling the area, protect the fleeing refugees, eliminate the threats that had appeared on the surface, and warn all the lords and nobles nearby.
Only Jessica was left by Junia's side. Gade was responsible for leading the rest of the knights to carry out Junia's orders.
When the knights brought the rested horses over and were about to set off, Gade stood beside Junia and said in a regretful tone, "That's great. I also want to go on an adventure with you.
Not everyone could talk about the adventures they had with the great knights.
Why Jessica and not me? "
"She's a woman. It's inconvenient," Junia said. "And in some situations, she can provide more help."
Gade wasn't angry at Junia's blunt words. As he said, Jessica, who could use magic and was an excellent knight, could provide a lot of help sometimes.
"Maybe you'll need my hammer to open up a path for you."
"If you do that underground, you'll probably be buried forever," Junia said.
Gade didn't dislike Junia's frank and somewhat unreasonable way of speaking. In fact, it was one of the things that he admired about Junia.
Jessica came over with her and Junia's horse. She smiled at Gade and said, "You're not part of it this time."
"Next time."
Gade sniffled and walked over to the knights. He waved at Junia and the others. "Remember to bring me along next time!
Of course, there must be a pitiful girl to accompany me! "
The pitiful girl Gade was referring to was naturally not Jessica. There was no need to confirm who he was referring to.
After Gade left with the knights, Jessica looked at Lurunaka and Zendina, who were packing their things on the other side.
Behind the two girls was an excessively large carriage and two mules chewing on hay.
"A pitiful girl. He really dares to say that."
To Jessica, Dina aside, Lulunaka didn't look like a girl no matter how she looked at it.
"To him, any girl is a friend," Junia said as she got on her horse.
Junia said as she turned around and mounted her horse. "I hope he won't suffer a loss because of this."
"That's hard to say."
Jessica also got on her horse and smiled at Junia. "He doesn't seem to see me as a girl."
"Before a girl, you're a companion," Junia said. "That's his judgment."
The two rode over to Lulunaka and Dina, who happened to be sitting in the driver's seat.
"It's great to have a horse. My two beasts can barely pull it!" Lulunaka shouted to Junia.
Junia looked at the two mules that were starting to move slowly and said to Lulunaka, "You should let go of these two poor beasts!"
Lulunaka just shook her head and didn't say anything.
The carriage began to move forward, and Junia and Jessica followed behind it.
Jessica followed beside Junia and suddenly said, "There's always a rumor about you. It's said that you were raised by elves or fairies.
I always thought it was just a silly rumor. Now, it seems like there's any truth in it. "
Jessica didn't make up a story. Such a rumor had never disappeared around Junia.
For a hero of unknown origin like Junia, it was easy to imagine that he was raised by some special and wonderful existence.
"There's also a rumor that I was raised by a devil," Junia replied.
