Chapter 174 Underestimated?(1/2)
Chapter 174 Being underestimated?
Sunshine, green grass, towering trees.
There are also beasts of burden.
This is a caravan.
There seemed to be nearly forty people. In addition to the merchants in the caravan, there were also some women and children.
Because this trip was to Xumi City, there were many women and children accompanying the caravan. They were going to the city to buy some daily necessities.
The remaining dozen or so people are all mercenaries from the Gilded Brigade hired from the Port of Ormos at a high price.
These mercenaries from the desert have no position, they work in groups, and no matter who you are, they will do things for you if they are paid.
Although most people wear colored glasses towards them, they will not deny their attitude of responsibility. The Gilded Brigade's absolute support for their employers is trustworthy.
Therefore, when private caravans or adventurers travel, it is absolutely right to hire a gilded brigade.
"The next thing is..."
He stood up and lifted his hood, revealing a fair and handsome face. The cloak covered his body, making his back look broad and secure.
※※※
Only they can use such broken weapons...
If other children heard this, they would probably ask: Why did General Raiden do this?
"Big brother...won't you help?" the little girl asked weakly
The two little kids were stunned for a moment after hearing this.
"Big brother!" The little boy covered his eyes.
Someone shouted loudly, and the caravan suddenly became chaotic.
Come on, Feng Nan is really happy. He can fly all the time by controlling the wind element to support him...
"It's a bit strange..."
Freshly washed, the sunlight shines on the water droplets that have not yet been wiped off the peach, making this ubiquitous fruit become mouth-watering.
The young man is wearing a cloak and standing in the wind.
"I'm just from Qiuqiu... I'll come as soon as I go..."
Because Shi Lan used the Wings of Wind to take off freely in Mondstadt three years ago. Because of his arrogant posture and exaggerated take-off method, his pilot license was deducted for three years...
Disiya scolded Shi Lan with a cold face.
Shi Lan understood immediately.
"I was tired from fighting, so I made an appointment with the ghost tribe's Leng Tou Qing to fight again on another day, so I found a noodle shop to eat noodles first."
Six years have passed since Shi Lan took the Star of Death on his first voyage to sea.
What?
He stood up instantly, pulled the two little guys behind him, and then caught the flying objects with his backhand.
Speaking of which, Shi Lan had just returned from Daozhime. The fleet was about to return to Liyue after stopping at Ormos Port. I guess there have been no festivals recently, and this year's Immortal Invitation Ceremony is still some time away. Shi Lan said
I stayed alone in the port of Ormos for shopping.
"Danger…"
Now the three-year period has arrived...
The girl clapped her fingers and said, "The beast of burden was fed with grass...and then we picked raspberries for my father and uncles...and peaches for my eldest brother...and berries for my mother and aunts...and mushrooms!"
"Of course." Shi Lan touched the little girl's head and said, "Don't worry, these are just ordinary Qiuqiu people. To say that the more powerful ones are Qiuqiu people, they are extremely powerful.
…”
※※※
Halfway through the meal, a worm fell from the rafter and fell right into my bowl. I thought it was nothing at the time, so I thought I would add some meat, but the boss had to give me a new bowl.
Just kidding, I paid the money. The employer should have eaten and slept all the way and traveled around. Even the people in Qiuqiu can't solve this problem. Isn't the money wasted in vain?
Spend the most money and of course get the best treatment...
He jumped lightly from the back of the beast of burden and landed on the ground, not even raising dust.
"Biadam!!"
Moving his shoulders, Shi Lan walked towards the Qiuqiu thugs who were killing everyone in the field.
Shi Lan ate the remaining peaches, his cheeks squirmed, and then he spit out the peach core, which shot into the soil with a loud bang.
"Boom~"
Why did you come out just after you said that...Give me some face, Brother Qiu!?
"Big brother..." the little girl said worriedly, "Big brother has the eye of God. The Qiuqiu people will definitely not be able to defeat him, but dad and the others don't have it..."
The boy who is telling the story is none other than the young hero from Liyue, Shi Lan.
Boys and girls climb on the backs of beasts of burden.
The corners of his mouth raised, and he was about to catch the falling giant ax with one hand, when a crisp loud shout came from behind:
"Get out of the way!"
And Shi Lan stood there quietly, raising his head, motionless. On his right arm under the cloak, the Eye of God shone slightly, and the golden light symbolizing the earth element lit up.
Achieve everything!
Why go to Mondstadt?
I feel ashamed to say it.
Just as Shi Lan thought, after the arrow fell, a large group of skinny Qiuqiu people rushed down the hillside.
Pack beasts are extremely huge. Contrary to their huge bodies, these giant beasts have a docile personality and generally do not actively attack people. Therefore, they can be easily tamed, as long as they are fed.
I said you changed the second bowl for me. He said he had changed it, but he didn’t say it was free. Then he called a bunch of people to beat me.
"careful!"
Among them, only Daozhu must ride on the Star Star. Because of the thunderstorms outside the sea, no matter how talented Shi Lan is, he cannot cross the clouds and sea to brave the thunderstorm alone...
Shi Lan smiled slightly, how could he make his cute little sister worried?
As soon as Shi Lan finished speaking, a huge figure appeared on the hillside, and Qiuqiu thugs holding giant axes ran towards the caravan.
There was silence all around, and everyone was so frightened that they stopped breathing.
The current Shi Lan is no longer the dwarf who was laughed at by someone six years ago.
"Quiet!"
If you look closely, you will see that this is a stone-ground arrow, very crudely made.
Shi Lan releases gentle elemental power to appease the beast of burden.
"!?"
In the past six years, every Liyue Festival, he would return with the fleet. After reuniting and having fun with his friends, he would set sail again.
Shi Lan talked freely and talked about his wonderful adventure.
It was a good relationship, so I accepted it. But when I finished eating and wanted to leave, the boss stopped me and said that I had to pay for one bowl of noodles after eating two bowls of noodles.
Facing the swarming crowd, the mercenaries drew their weapons and stood ready.
They actively follow their masters, carrying heavy loads on their backs. The beasts of burden have extremely strong load-bearing capabilities. They are known as desert boats. There is nothing they can't carry except what you can't pile on.
He said he wanted me to see how many bowls of noodles I had in my stomach, but I wasn’t happy about it at the time. Isn’t this bullying an honest person?”
"The battlefield is no joke! Are you scared? Get back on the beast of burden!"
"Big brother! We picked fresh Dundun peaches! Give them to you to eat!"
"Well... since I have nothing to do, how about I tell you the story of my rice wife on the other side of the sea?"
He raised his ax and chopped several mercenaries away, running rampant through the crowd as if they were in a deserted land.
"Ahem, did you know that Inazuma is closed to the country, and there are raging thunderstorms outside the sea? Legend has it that it was the supreme master of the Inazuma shogunate...the thunder and lightning generals of the seven rulers in the world..."
It greatly broadened Shi Lan's horizons, and he also gained growth during this process.
After a few years, a new peach tree may grow here.
Why so many??
The young man lifted the brim of his hat, reached out to take the peach, and took a bite. The crunchy texture was so sweet that it was so sweet in his heart.
The girl's white and tender little hands held a large and plump peach.
The frightened beast of burden immediately became docile and just kept moving, staring closely at the enemy rushing down the mountain.
"Oh!" the two children exclaimed.
