Chapter 6 The Vulnerable Guest
At nine o'clock in the morning the next day, Josiu'an drove the magic car to the temporary base near the east gate of Flanders City set up by the Engineering Department of the Infrastructure Promotion Department of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, and met Taylor as scheduled.
As soon as he got out of the car, he saw a middle-aged man who looked about forty years old standing beside Taylor, wearing a black magic robe, with dark skin and a dull temperament.
"Let me introduce you, Mage Sodak, these two are the colleagues I mentioned to you yesterday. This is Joshua, and this is Winnie. This is..." Taylor's puzzled eyes fell on Hawat body.
"This is my little nephew," Winnie explained. "Come on, Hawat, call Aunt Taylor."
"Hello, Aunt Taylor." Hawat immediately shouted obediently and crisply.
"Call me sister, I'm not that old." Taylor immediately smiled, stretched out his hand to pinch Hawat's face, turned to Joshua and said, "Joshua, this is what I told you yesterday, I want to date you I'm going to the Chamber of Commerce's Sodak Mage."
Joshua smiled and extended his hand to Sodak: "Hello, Mage Sodak. I heard from Taylor that you want to join our Xinfei Chamber of Commerce. I am here to welcome you on behalf of the Chamber of Commerce."
Sodak, with the dullness and lack of communication skills that most traditional magicians have always had, just stretched out his hand and shook Joshuaan casually, then immediately retracted, forced a smile on his face, nodded and said: "I still don't know if I can be favored by your chamber of commerce."
Joshua glanced at Suodak's chest indiscriminately, and found that what was hanging on his chest was only a level badge representing a third-level magician, and couldn't help frowning slightly.
From the looks of it. Sodak is at least forty years old this year. Some people even believed that he was fifty years old. But at his age, he is still only a third-level magician. It is enough to prove that his magic talent is not outstanding at all.
Generally speaking, with his level, he might not be qualified to enter the Magic Research Institute of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce.
However, if you just enter the chamber of commerce as an ordinary magic circle drawing mechanic, there should be no big problem.
But everyone knows that entering the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce Magic Research Institute is much better than just being an ordinary skilled worker, so even if Yue Xiu'an is not optimistic about the prospects of this Sodak magician, he will not speak out about him It is impossible to join the Magic Research Institute of the Chamber of Commerce.
So he just smiled and said: "Don't worry, our Chamber of Commerce welcomes all magicians who are interested in joining the magic industry. I think you, Mage Sodak, will definitely be able to find your place in the Chamber of Commerce."
Taylor on the side was obviously well aware of Sodak's level of magic, hearing this, he showed a meaningful smile on the side. Then he said to Winnie: "Since you're here, shall I treat you to lunch before leaving?"
Winnie shook her head: "I'm afraid it won't work. It will take more than ten hours to get back to the main base of the chamber of commerce. If we set off now, we might rush back in the evening. If we leave after lunch, don't think about it today."
"Why are you in such a hurry? You can rest in Anweimar City halfway for a night before leaving, and you won't be so tired on the road. Besides, I remember Winnie, you haven't got your driver's license yet, right? You can only let Yuexiu along the way Ann drives alone, and taking a rest overnight will save him from being too tired alone." Taylor said doubtfully.
"It's okay, I'm used to it." Joshua shook his head. "In the past two years, I have been driving around like this. It is common to drive for more than ten hours at a time, and it is not a big deal."
Tyler glanced at him. I couldn't help but shook my head: "You have been running around all over the place in order to promote infrastructure construction in the past two years. It is indeed hard work. But there are also benefits. Look, if it wasn't for your job, how could the chamber of commerce equip you? What about the latest high-end magic car? The original price of this car is 2,300 gold coins, if you buy it yourself, it may take you several years to afford it."
"How many years? I'm afraid I can't afford it for more than ten years." Joshua shook his head with a smile. "Okay, let's not talk about this, Taylor and I are in a hurry to set off. Magician Sodak, are all your luggage ready?"
Sodak raised the bag in his hand: "These things are all ready yesterday."
"Okay, put your bag in the trunk, and then we'll get in the car and go."
Joshua helped Sodak put his simple and shabby salute into the trunk of the magic glue car, and then let him sit in the front row, and waved goodbye to Taylor with Winnie.
After the magic car started, it didn't take long for it to drive out of Flanders City again, and headed southwest quickly.
Suodak, who was sitting in the co-pilot seat, seemed to be riding the magic car for the first time. As soon as the car started, he sat firmly on the seat with a slightly nervous expression, not daring to move a little.
It wasn't until the magic car drove out of Flanders City that he relaxed a little, and began to look at the decorations inside the magic car curiously, and asked Joshua a few questions from time to time.
Joshua An has been driving this magic car around for the past two years, and his driving skills have already been perfected. However, the road after coming out of Farantis City is not as good as the Kingdom of Lampari and the Duke of Standing. The various roads in the country are densely packed with vehicles, so they are extremely smooth, so he has been increasing the speed, almost driving the magic car to the highest speed.
Seeing the scenery on both sides of the road outside the car window receding rapidly, Sodak became a little nervous again.
On the contrary, although Hawat, who was sitting in the back, was also riding in a magic car for the first time, he became more excited as the speed of the car continued to increase. He stared at the speeding scenery outside the window and kept yelling. .
It only took about an hour, and the magic car had already traveled a hundred kilometers away from the city of Farantis.
Just after the magic car entered a forest, Suodak's face in the co-pilot's seat suddenly became extremely pale and ugly, and he suddenly covered his mouth with his hand.
While driving the car, Joshua was paying attention to his situation, now that he saw him like this, he immediately understood.
This Sodak sorcerer probably really took the magic car for the first time, and then found himself... motion sickness...
Joshua slowed down the magic car slowly and stopped beside the road.
Without saying a word, Sodak opened the car door and rushed out, and rushed into the woods, holding a tree trunk with one hand, lowered his head and began to vomit.
Hawat looked at Sudak in the distance in surprise, and asked Winnie, "Auntie, what's wrong with him?"
"It's nothing, he just got motion sickness and wanted to vomit."
"Then why didn't I get motion sickness?"
"Because everyone is different, some people get motion sickness, some people don't. And you are a child, so your body is better." Winnie explained.
Hawat snorted, with a proud expression on his face, and proudly raised his small arms to gesture in front of Winnie.
Seeing that Suodak might not be able to come back for a while, Joshuaan opened the car door and got out of the car. When he came to the side of the road, he took out a Hanrucao cigarette from his pocket, lit it and smoked it.
After a while, seeing that Sodak basically stopped vomiting, he took out a bottle of warm water and a pill that he had prepared earlier from the car and walked over.
"Here, Mage Sodak, this is a medicine that can relieve motion sickness. You rinse your mouth first, and then take the medicine, it will be much better."
Sodak turned his head and looked weakly at the water and pills in Joshua'an's hands. He didn't even have the strength to make a puzzled expression. He reached out to take the water and rinsed his mouth vigorously, then swallowed the pills in one gulp. He let out a long breath.
"We..." Just as Joshua was about to say something more, he suddenly heard a rumbling sound from Suodak's stomach, and was taken aback for a moment.
Sodak squeezed out an awkward smile to Joshua, and pointed to the depths of the woods in the distance.
Joshua could only barely control his uncontrollable smile, and nodded slightly to Sodak.
"Go, we'll wait for you."
Suodak immediately rushed to the depths of the woods as if fleeing for his life.
After a while, he had disappeared into the dense jungle, and there was no one to be seen again.
Yue Xiu'an 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 muttering: "It's strange, after taking the motion sickness medicine made by those elves, Will there still be side effects of diarrhea? I will tell the Yege tribe about this when I go back."
Probably to avoid embarrassment, Sodak ran so far away that Joshua could not hear anything.
Of course, he wasn't that interested in listening to other people's diarrhea, so he turned around and came to the side of the magic car, took out some pre-prepared food from the trunk, and handed a portion to Winnie and Hawat respectively.
"Looks like we'll have to wait for a while, so let's settle our lunch right now."
Winnie took it in doubt, and asked, "Didn't you agree to have lunch in Felois City at noon?"
Joshua shrugged: "Our guest has something wrong, I don't think he should talk about lunch, I'm afraid he won't even think about eating for a day."
"What's the matter with him?" Winnie frowned and looked deep into the dense forest, but she couldn't see Suodak's figure anywhere.
Just as she was about to ask again, she suddenly heard a rustling sound from the other side of the woods. After a while, about twenty people came out of the woods with various weapons in their hands, and immediately surrounded the magic car live.
A strong man in the lead glanced at the magic car and Joshua standing beside the car, then looked at Hawat and Winnie inside the car, let out an extremely ferocious laugh, and raised the huge long knife in his hand, Loudly said: "Hey, you two, if you don't want to die, just obey me obediently!"
Joshua and Winnie looked at each other in astonishment.
This... met a robber? (To be continued..)
