Chapter 205 Is to Go or Stay
"Xinjie, what should I do?"
Compared with Tosaka Rin's complaints, Saber directly turned his eyes to Xinjie and waited for him to make a decision.
Xinjie suddenly found that both Saber and Rin Tosaka seemed to like to rely on themselves to solve problems more and more. Saber asked him directly if he didn't want to, and Rin Tosaka was complaining leisurely without any worry, as if he could definitely solve the problem.
To be honest, Xinjie also has a headache. No matter how much he thought about it, he did not expect such a thing to happen. I heard that the probability of such a failure like the portal is very low, just like picking up 100 gold coins on the road. But after coming to this world, this kind of thing actually made him encounter twice, and even Xinjie himself had to consider whether his lucky index had changed.
"Are you in a hurry to go back to France?" When the village head saw this situation, he naturally guessed two or three points.
"Yes, we have something to get back to France as soon as possible."
"Well..." The village head gently stroked his crutch with his wrinkled right hand and gave his advice: "The flange responded to us that it would be repaired as soon as possible. Why don't you stay here and wait and see?"
"How long will it take?" Rin Tosaka couldn't help asking.
"I don't know," the village head spread out his hands and said helplessly, "I haven't encountered this kind of thing for most of my life, so I can't provide you with experience."
"What if you walk from here to Qili Village? How long will it take? This time it was Xinjie who spoke.
"Xinjie... Are you going to walk back to Qili Village from here?" Tosaka Rin asked in surprise, "Didn't Shavat say that he couldn't walk that road?"
Xinjie shook his head and said, "It's not that you can't walk, it's just a long detour. Village leader, please tell me how long it will take to walk from here to Qili Village?"
The village head closed his eyes and thought about it, and thought silently in his heart: "Qili is in the southwest of the island, and our village is in the northeast of the island. In addition, it takes a lot of time to cross the Sochia Desert to deal with the demons on the road, and it is rumored that there are mountain thieves in the recent desert..."
He suddenly opened his eyes, "About ten days to half a month."
"So long?" Rin Tosaka was shocked. Do you want them to walk in the desert for half a month?
"Yes, it's a long way to go. I'm afraid it will take so long to count the demons and mountain thieves." The village head saw that Rin Tosaka seemed to be a little worried and added, "But I think about it according to the itinerary of us ordinary people, like adventurers, you should be able to go much faster. At least we can't continue to travel at night, but you adventurers can. Besides, demons and mountain thieves should not be your opponents.
Rin Tosaka breathed a sigh of relief when she heard here. Fortunately, she was a little unaffable after walking for only three days this time. There was an unchanged scenery all the way. The sky was yellow sand, desolate everywhere, and she had to beware of scorpions and cactuses that came out from time to time. She even suspected that if it hadn't been for Xinjie and Saber beside her, she would have been driven crazy by the hopeless desert.
Although she became a Servant, she is still a young girl in spirit, which is a period of strong curiosity and thirst for knowledge. However, Xinjie and Saber are both people who don't like to talk very much, which makes her feel bored all the way. She doesn't want to do the same thing again.
"In that case, it will take about ten days, right?"
"Well, that's probably the case."
The village head replied, looking at Xinjie strangely, thinking that the teenager was very calm, not as rich as the girl's expression.
"In this case..."
Xinjie thought about whether to stay here and wait or walk back to Qili Village?
Since he separated from Nanali on the Meteor Hill, he has not relaxed. He inexplicably became the Master of Saber and Rin Tosaka, and inexplicably returned to 4,000 years ago. He also inexplicably became a comrade-in-arms of the legendary hero and fought with them.
Especially in the battle with Falken, the three of them were seriously injured and almost hung up directly. It was hard to get Tianshu back to now, but I found that three months had passed. Unexpectedly, I had to travel desperately before I had time to rest.
The most excessive thing is that after they worked hard and traveled to the village of Ghana day and night, they were told that the portal between here and the city of France could not be used, so they had to stay here to wait for the portal to be repaired or cross the whole Sochia Island and walk back to the village of Qili.
Xinjie is even beginning to doubt whether his recent lucky index has become E? But doesn't Gene often say that only gunmen are lucky E? As a swordsman, he is really swollen? Declined upper body?
However, in any case, the choice is still to be done. The benefits of staying here are very obvious. After a long period of continuous battle, what Xinjie wants most is to have a good rest and relax the nervous body and mind due to the long battle. You can do this by staying in Ghana, and after the portal is repaired, you can save a lot of time to send it directly back to France and find your friends in this world.
But the disadvantage is also very prominent, that is, the unknown about the repair time of the portal. No one knows when the flange can be repaired. Maybe it will take three or five days to repair it, maybe seven or eight days to repair it, and maybe it will take ten and a half months to repair it? That time was enough for them to walk to Qili Village. Don't forget that Xinjie is still in a hurry to tell his friends what he has experienced.
So what about leaving here and going to Chili Village?
Of course, you can quickly return to France after arriving at Qili Village, but it goes without saying that the hardships on the road are. Just now, the village head also said that this road is not easy to walk. What he just said that the adventurer only takes about ten days is just inferring. Who knows what will happen on the road? Sochia Island is so big. It is not uncommon for a powerful demon clan to appear. Xinjie really dares not consider this consequence when he is already so exhausted and has not had good luck recently.
Now he only feels that he is in a dilemma, and he can't stay or go, especially after seeing Saber staring at him, but Tosaka Rin looks like he has nothing to do with himself.
is to go or stay, where to go?
At this moment, a man suddenly broke into the village head's house, "Village head! Village head! The priest has news!"
It was a man dressed as a knight. After rushing into the house, he didn't notice that there were three new heroes beside the village head, so he said directly, "It turned out that the high priest Christopher had returned to Astia town a week ago! It's really too much... He didn't even say a word, which made me look for him for three months. This adult is too irresponsible!"
"Cough!"
When the village head heard this complaint, he quickly coughed twice and signaled with his eyes that there were other people beside him.
"Ah!"
When he saw the village head's signal, he realized. After seeing the three Xinjie clearly, his expression was a little embarrassed. He was heard by others talking about Astia's priest behind his back, which was very big and small. You should know that Astia is no less than the existence of the royal palace in the kingdom of France, and even in the hearts of many French citizens, Astia is more respectable than the royal palace, because they have been fighting against the demons and fighting on the front line of the demons.
Naturally, the village head also knew that he was about to explain to the three people, and Rin Tosaka had rushed to say:
"Don't worry, we didn't hear anything just now!" Rin Tosaka looked at the knight-like man with a smile, "You didn't say anything just now, did you?"
"Yes! Yes!"
Seeing Tosaka Rin say this, he suddenly realized, "I didn't say anything, I didn't say anything!"
The village head was relieved to see that Rin Tosaka was like this, and Xinjie and Saber did not say anything, so he quickly pointed to the man and introduced them to the three: "This is Mr. Hinel, the guard of the town of Astia, who specially escorted the high priest Christopher Priest of Astia, here, Mr. Hinel. These three are brave adventurers from different worlds, and I think you should be aware of this.
"It turned out to be an adventurer specially summoned!" Hinel's eyes immediately changed after hearing the village chief's introduction. He was the guard of the town of Astia. Naturally, he knew that the rumors about the "opener" first came from Astia. There is a high probability that there will be "openers" in some adventurers from different worlds! That's a hero who can save the whole world!
"Christophe Priest returned to the town of Astia a week ago?"
At this time, Xinjie, who had not spoken, suddenly asked.
"...uh-huh, yes."
Hinel was a little embarrassed. He said this sentence, and he complained a few words at the same time. At this moment, he was naturally a little uncomfortable to be in advance by Xinjie.
"A week ago?"
Xinjie turned his head and looked at Saber and Rin Tosaka. After a brief communication with them with his eyes, he said to Hinel, "Mr. Hinell, can you tell me how Priest Christopher left here three months ago?"
"This..."
Hineel was a little embarrassed. Although he was very polite to Xinjie and others, it was not convenient for him to answer this question. After all, it was not a glorious thing for his guards to disappear under his own eyes. Coupled with the matter involving the town of Astia, it is indeed inconvenient for him to disclose it.
Xinjie can also guess what he was thinking and immediately said to dispel his doubts, "To be honest, we met Priest Christopher three months ago."
"What?"
Hinel and the village head were surprised. Xinjie and others actually met the high priest Christopher? Really?
"Yes," Xinjie nodded and continued, "We met him in the Sochia Desert. At that time, he had only one person and told us that he hoped we could become 'openers' - although the road was very difficult."
