It is conceivable that after successfully throwing the blame to the fourth show of Wangcheng, the ones who will be troubled by the endless sneak attacks and harassment are those guys in Nigur.
Xia Ya was happy for a while, and Dodoro was also secretly delighted. He and Bidaldo had a deep rift, and it was always good to take the opportunity to cause some trouble for the other party.
But after walking for a while, Xia Ya suddenly reined in the reins, her face changed, showing a bit of doubt.
"What's the matter, Mr. Xia Ya?"
Xia Ya shook his head, but he didn't say anything, but there was something wrong in his heart. The samurai bodyguard that Ni Guer was following just now is definitely not an ordinary character. That guy is just an oppressive power in his eyes. Based on Xia Ya's feelings, he can definitely be ranked in the top three among the masters he has seen.
Moreover, when I thought of the slight change in the guy's movements when I started with Nigur, he was going to step forward to block it, but then he suddenly stepped back, stopped interfering, and let himself and Nigur fight - think of this Xia Ya suddenly had cold sweat on her forehead!
That guy, he clearly saw through his intentions! At least the moment he made his move, that guy saw through that he didn't do any real power at all, he was just pretending!
And, despite this, he didn't come forward to stop him, but he didn't worry about hurting his protection object if he broke out? Then there are only two explanations: First, this guy is a reckless idiot - but judging from his cold eyes full of oppressive power, this kind of person is definitely not that kind of idiot. Then the second explanation may be the only reasonable one: he has no fear at all, even if he suddenly burst out and hurt Nigur, that guy is confident enough to be able to stop it with full confidence! !
Thinking of this, Xia Ya wiped his face fiercely and muttered, "Damn, there are dragons and crouching tigers hidden in the imperial capital. In the future, I have to be careful when doing things."
I reminded myself to be careful, but Xiaya soon became more relaxed, no matter what, throwing the blame to others was finally a big trouble for him.
Seeing that Dotara seemed to be quite worried, knowing that he was still worried about the trial, Xia suddenly patted his head: "Yi, that's right! The trial only said that you should find the magic kiss taro, but I didn't say you have to collect it yourself. Let's go to the market and see, maybe we can buy some on the black market!"
Duoduo gave a wry smile, he hesitated to speak, and he didn't have any hopes in his heart, but just changed his mind, even if it was only a one in ten thousand possibility, why not go and see
The two turned around and headed west of the city, then turned south, almost walking around the city, and came to the prosperous area south of Osgilia.
The southern part of Osgilia near the dock has always been the most prosperous place for trade in the city. As a coastal city, Osgilia's southern beach dock is quite magnificent. It has always been the largest prosperous port in the empire. The trade route has brought a new vitality to the city. Just a little north of the wharf, the former streets were supplied by blood transfusions from maritime trade. After years of development, they became very open. It is a commercial district full of vitality, where rare goods from all over the world are trafficked from the sea, and there are naturally some contraband transactions on the black market.
Xia Ya was born in the Wildfire Plain, and has been in the black street of Wildfire Town. Although he never came to this commercial trading block in the imperial capital, the rules of black market transactions in various places have always been the same. In the middle, Dodoro spoke in an Osgilia accent, and Xia grabbed a gangster on the street casually, lost a silver coin and went out to inquire about the news, and was taken to a tavern in a roadside alley, and the tavern The owner of the tavern took a few words and went around to the back of the tavern, which was an underground shop specializing in the sale of contraband.
However, after inquiring about the market of the magic kiss taro, both the turtle and the magician were disappointed.
The devil kiss taro is something you can buy. It's just... The price is definitely not something that two people can afford.
The black market price of a magic kiss taro costs 10,000 gold coins to buy, and it also needs to be ordered, and there is no stock. Even if there are, it may not be possible to collect ten from the market at once - even if you can really buy ten, you will need 100,000 gold coins.
For Turtles or Dodo Luo, 100,000 gold coins is already a number that is daunting enough for them.
Although the turtle has made a small fortune now, his entire net worth is only a few hundred gold coins.
It's impossible to buy it... But if you really want to go to the depths of the eastern Chaos Territory, the sea of forests, and face the elves who hate humans... Uh, it's better to shake your head faster.
Walking out of the underground shop with disappointment, the two returned to the bustling street outside. Duoduo was obviously in a much lower mood. The magician muttered to himself, as if he was a little lost, walking with his horse, but Suddenly, a thin child was squeezed out of the crowd and slammed into the magician's arms.
Duodoro didn't care, but Xiaya snorted, grabbed the child's wrist, pulled him gently, and pulled him to the ground, stepped forward and stepped on his leg, from his In his hand, he took back a small money bag, which belonged to Dodoro.
The child was frightened, shivering, rolling his eyes, but kept begging and begging for mercy. Xia Ya was about to lift him up, when suddenly a woman rushed out from the crowd, threw herself at Xia Ya's feet, hugged Xia Ya's legs, and begged with a crying voice. This woman has a yellow face and thin skin. She looks about thirty years old. She wears a coarse cloth skirt, but it is full of rough pudding. Her eyes are dull, and her cheeks are sunken.
"Sir, please let me go... My mother is really hungry! I... This is really the first time I've done this kind of thing... "
At this moment, there were many people watching, Xia snorted, looked calm, lifted the child, looked at the child coldly, and suddenly threw him to the ground and picked up the sword at his waist When the sheath came, he hit the boy's butt a dozen times in a row. He didn't beat him lightly. The boy screamed in pain, and finally burst into tears, his face full of tears and snot.
After Xia finished fighting, he picked him up again, and said coldly: "It's not your first time stealing, you have to be very skilled. Lying is not a good habit, let alone you are so young! Punish you for stealing! Do something wrong and be punished, or you won't remember the lesson."
After speaking, he put the child back, and took out a few gold coins from his pocket and stuffed them into the woman's hand: "buy something to eat, and then use the money to find a good livelihood... You have a very filial son. , because he was willing to be a thief for you."
After doing this, Chara pulled Dodoro and squeezed out of the crowd.
The two quickly left the commercial district and went all the way north. There were gradually fewer pedestrians on the road. When they walked through a small road, they suddenly heard tender pleadings and calls for help from a nearby alley, and there were also a few men who were wickedly low. laugh.
Xia Ya immediately stopped, looked left and right, walked quickly into the box, kicked over a broken bamboo basket at the entrance of the alley, and shouted: "What are the people inside sneaking? !"
Turning around the alley, I saw a young girl pushed into the corner by a few men with wretched looks and suspicious expressions. Judging from their clothes and appearance, those men could be seen to be street gangsters or something like that. And that woman has messy hair, disheveled clothes, flushed cheeks, pink cheeks, delicate features, and bright eyes, she is actually a beautiful girl with a rather charming face, just holding her chest with her hands, huddled in corner.
Seeing that Xia Ya rushed in alone, the gangsters immediately greeted them, and one of them pulled out a dagger from his waist and shook it: "Hey! Don't meddle in your business, otherwise..."
Before he could finish speaking, he felt a fist suddenly enlarge in his eyes. In the next instant, his whole body was already flying, and he fell back to the ground, his nose bleeds, and most of his teeth fell out of his mouth.
Xia Ya snorted, and regardless of the horrified expressions of the gangsters beside her, she went up and kicked them one by one. The last gangster looked at Xia Ya in a daze, and suddenly fell to the ground with a plop and begged for mercy.
Xia Ya looked at him, shook his head and said, "I don't necessarily want to punish you, but your actions are really disgusting to me! You can attack a girl like this!"
After he finished speaking, he knocked this guy unconscious.
The girl in the corner staggered to her feet, as if she had suddenly seen a savior, she threw herself into Xia Ya's side, her soft body pressed against Xia Ya, her clothes were already scattered, and there were white flowers on her chest. A piece of it was on Xia Ya's shoulder, and a pair of seductive eyes were swollen like peaches from crying, which was quite pathetic and moving.
Xia Ya was not at all confused by it, calmly pushed the girl away, and then said lightly, "Okay, you don't need to thank me, I'm just passing by, you hurry up and leave."
The girl wanted to say something to thank, but found that Xia Ya looked indifferent, so she couldn't say anything. After thinking about it, she took out a white silk scarf from her arms and handed it to Xia Ya. It was originally intended for Xia Ya. Wipe the blood on her fist, but Xia Ya shrank her hand away, the girl could only put the silk scarf lightly in Xia Ya's hand, and said softly: "Sir, thank you for saving me... my name My name is Lianna, I live on the street in front, if you have time, please come to my house, and I will definitely have the opportunity to express my gratitude."
After speaking, this charming girl bowed her head, half-covered her chest, and trotted away all the way.
When she ran out of the alley, the graceful figure made Duoduo look at it for a while, and his eyes were fixed on the girl's waist for a long time before he reluctantly took it back.
These two things seem to be just a small episode of the two people meeting on the way back home, but they walked through another street, and there were fewer and fewer pedestrians. As Xi Ya was walking, he suddenly restrained the horse, his face changed, and he saw Look at Dodo Luo next to him: "You go first!"
Duoduo was stunned for a moment, but Xia Ya had a serious expression: "You go first! Get out of here, I still have something to do."
Dodoro didn't dare to ask any more questions, so he could only leave quickly.
After the magician left, Xia Ya simply turned over and dismounted, stood in the middle of the street, held the handle of the fire fork at his waist with one hand, and put the other on his hips, looked coldly at the other end of the street, and snorted loudly, "Follow me. It's been a while! Come out!!"
He suddenly shouted so loudly, there were originally two or three pedestrians on the street who cast strange eyes and whispered, and some of them ran away quickly seeing that Xiaya was holding a weapon in his hand and did not dare to stay.
There was only Xia Ya alone on the street, and at this time, a figure finally appeared on the other side of the long street.
Medium stature, wide samurai robes, short hair like steel pins, and a face full of sturdy flavor. This man walked slowly, step by step, like a leopard hunting in the wasteland!
As soon as Xia Ya saw this guy, his eyes suddenly changed. This is clearly the master guard warrior who was beside the giant Nigur just now!
"It's you! Hmph, do you think I can't find out if you secretly followed me!" Xia Ya's grip on the fire fork tightened involuntarily. He clearly felt that as the warrior walked in step by step, the whole On the long street, as if centered on the figure of the other party, a powerful and invisible aura pressed towards him! Every time he took a step forward, the pressure of his own deepened!
"I have no suspicious hidden whereabouts. If I want to hide, you can't find it at all."
The samurai finally spoke, and what surprised Xia was that although this person seemed sturdy and cold, his voice was soft and sweet, which formed a strong contrast with his cold and sturdy appearance.
The other party came to a distance of only ten steps from Xia Ya and stood still. Xia Ya felt that the air around him seemed to be thickened, and an invisible sense of oppression enveloped him in all directions. With this ubiquitous oppressive aura, the muscles in his body were tensed unconsciously, the veins on the back of the hand holding the fire fork were bulging, and his eyes were fixed on each other.
And this short-haired samurai seemed to just stand there casually. Although his expression was cold, his eyes were very relaxed. Even after sizing up Xia Ya a few times, a strange smile gradually appeared at the corner of his mouth.
"You are very cunning." The warrior seemed to have a complicated smile: "You made Nigur suffer a small loss, and he will soon know that he has been tricked by you."
"... Hmph." Xia gritted her teeth: "How can you be sure."
"I'm Nigur's bodyguard, I know better than you how much he is capable." The warrior still smiled coldly: "It's you, I'm very interested... You are the one who defeated on the battlefield. Hasting's guy? Hmm, funny..."
Xia Ya immediately became nervous.
"The guy who defeated Hastings on the battlefield..." He didn't know how many times he had heard this sentence in the past few days. Every time someone said this to himself, he immediately began to challenge. He immediately took a step back, hesitating in his heart whether to pull out the fire fork to attack, and the first strike is stronger...
"Don't worry, I didn't come to challenge you." The samurai saw Xi Ya's actions, and the mocking taste in the smile on the corner of his mouth deepened, he said lightly: "You don't really think, I will believe, black Steen will be defeated by a kid like you. Hmm... that's just a farce, a farce made by the military."
The warrior looked into Xiaya's eyes: "Your strength is not bad, but when it comes to defeating Hastings, it is too ridiculous. I know you must have encountered a lot of trouble these days, but you should be very lucky, At least the real masters in the imperial capital are not idiots, and they won't believe the lies made up by the military. Otherwise, the people who come to challenge you will probably not be those inexperienced characters."
Xia Ya was silent. He admitted that the guy had a point.
"But... How can you be sure, I'm not Hasting's opponent." Xia snorted, he was just a little unhappy because his aura was completely suppressed by the opponent.
"Why?" The warrior shook his head: "The reason is very simple, because I tried it with Hastings, and I know how terrible he is... and you, it's too far behind." After speaking, the warrior shook his head, as if he was not interested. look.
As the warrior said, he suddenly walked a few more steps, and then just like this, he easily passed by Xiaya's side, and Xiaya felt his whole body the moment the two met. The hairs seem to stand up, as if the person walking by is not a person, but a ferocious beast that can devour people at any time! There were so many times that he had been forced into the madness of oppression, and he just wanted to pull out the fire fork and slash hard. But after this impulse, there was a strange feeling that made him hold back!
This strange feeling is... fear!
Yes, it is fear! A real fear! ! Xia Ya has a strange feeling in his heart. He seems to know very well that as long as he dares to make a move, then once he makes a move, he will definitely die! This guy is definitely not his own strength to contend with! !
Finally, the samurai walked slowly behind Char Ya, turned his back to Char Ya, and stopped.
At this moment, Xia Ya suddenly felt that his body relaxed, and the ubiquitous pressure of momentum dissipated in an instant.
The man's voice sounded a little warmer: "I didn't come to trouble you. It's just that although I don't believe you can defeat Hasting, I heard that Hasting was really hurt by you. I was curious for a moment, so I came to see you... I saw you just now in the shopping street against the mother and son of the thief, and when you rescued the orphan girl in the alley. Well, you are a very interesting kid. "
He suddenly turned his head to the side, turned his head back slightly, and a smile appeared on half of his cheeks: "So... interesting boy, I hope you live well. Although your strength is not too strong, your It's not bad to have such a level at your age. Among the people who can resist my aura, you are the youngest I have ever met. Live on, live on well... Live until your strength grows... You are worthy of me until the day it starts."
After saying this, the voice disappeared immediately. Xia Ya stood there, only feeling stiff all over, and finally turned his head bit by bit to look behind him, but behind him, the long street was empty, but where was there any figure
A gust of wind blew, and Xia Ya felt a shiver all over his body. Only then did he realize that under his clothes, the sweat had already poured into his underwear! !
※※※
"Oh, is it like this?"
A faint, slightly tired voice.
In a bright hut, Caviehir leaned lazily on a slack, his body curled up under a soft and thick fur, as if this cold winter was still a torture for the old man . Beside the soft collapse, the young girl with some freckles on her face stood aside, holding a heater in her hand, tested the temperature, and then stuffed it into Cavie Hill's hand.
In front of Cavie Hill, three people knelt on the ground in the room.
If Xia Ya was here, she would definitely cry out in surprise.
Of these three people, two were the mother and son of the thief he met at the market, and the other was the beautiful orphan girl he rescued from the hooligan.
At this moment, the three of them were kneeling there respectfully. When facing the weak old man on the soft couch, the three of them were silent, and their faces were filled with awe even as they looked at the floor.
"Come down." Caviehir's gentle voice came, and the three of them didn't dare to say more, and quickly stood up and bowed away.
The old wise man sat there, holding his knees for a while, a playful smile on his face.
"Well, very interesting boy... It seems that my old friend, the successor you chose, finally did not disappoint me too much." The mysterious wise man suddenly glanced at the ordinary-looking girl next to him: "Little Que Son, what about your evaluation?"
The girl who was called "Little Queer" looked respectful: "Yes, teacher." Then the girl lowered her head and thought for a while, and said in a low voice: "Well, punishing a young thief is to show his majesty. Giving alms to a sick mother , is to show its kindness. To save the helpless orphan girl is to show its bravery. And to reject the charm of women's lust is to show its nobility..."
"Well, majestic, kind, brave, noble..." The smile on Caviehir's face suddenly became pleasant, and on his old face, at this moment, he smiled like a child: "Haha, it's so interesting. Tell me, a person with so few precious qualities, if coupled with outstanding strength, then... it is difficult for such a person to not come up with ideas."
The girl named Xiaoque'er was a little puzzled: "Teacher... You mean, is this guy named Xia actually appreciated by you... But, when I saw him the other day, he didn't seem to have any ability... "
"You don't understand." Caviehir smiled lightly, shook his head and said, "You can learn skills, but the cultivation of quality is the most labor-intensive. Character determines fate, and this kid's character is very interesting."
Xiao Queer looked at the teacher in surprise, and the shock in her heart was extremely strong!
It is interesting? Is this what the teacher said about that guy
You know, these few words seem simple, but... As a teacher, it is a rare praise to be willing to make such an evaluation of people!
The youngest son of Duke Minas, the elder in the imperial army, Minas, who is extremely talented, both civil and military, is known as the most outstanding star of hope for the future of the empire. It's just a simple word of "not bad"! !
If the teacher's evaluation can spread out - just relying on this sentence from Cavie Hill, that kid will immediately become famous in the imperial capital!
※※※
Xia naturally didn't know that the first wise man in the imperial capital actually evaluated himself as "dignified, kind, brave and noble" - if this sentence was heard by Dodo Luo or the fourth show in the royal city or Hasting and General Rabbit, Will you laugh your teeth out
Well, it is conceivable that our native turtle... It may be said that he is majestic, and that kindness and bravery may also really exist. But nobility without the temptation of beauty...
Speaking of conscience, the only reason he could push the charming girl away with that calm attitude at that time was entirely because... cough cough... (The old guy still smiles Jiuquan... )
After rushing back to the residence, when Xia entered the door, she felt a little panic. His underwear was soaked with sweat, and the terrifying feeling of oppression that the mysterious samurai brought to Xi Ya reminded him of the first time he faced Hastings.
"That guy..."
After returning to the residence in embarrassment, Xia immediately called Dodo Luo: "That Nigur, what is the origin?"
Duoduo really knew the details of the four shows in the royal city: "That Nigur seems to be the nephew of the general of the Central Guards of Osgilia, I heard that the general has no son but only one daughter, so Nigur seems to be very promising in the future. Possibly the first heir to the family."
The nephew of the general of the Imperial Guards? This is really not a small one!
The general who can be responsible for guarding the imperial capital must be the trusted confidant of the royal family. The background background of this Nigur is quite impressive.
"So... next to that guy today, there's a guy with hair like a hedgehog... um, do you recognize him?"
Duoduo was stunned for a moment, then shook his head: "I don't know... The General of the Guards is an important general in the army, and there are always some masters in the army under his command, and these masters rarely interact with the secular warriors, so many of them, even if they are powerful. , but not well-known.”
Xia frowned, thinking for a while...
That guy, it seems that he also said a word, what to say...
Ah yes!
He tried it with Hastings! ! This guy actually played against Hastings, and he didn't die, which is enough to show that his strength is extraordinary.
A master in the army... Played against Hastings...
I don't know why, the bone-chilling cold air made Xia feel uncomfortable just thinking about it. Moreover, although that guy didn't take action against him today, Xiaya always had a feeling in his heart: This person is very dangerous! It is a very dangerous existence to myself! !
"Forget it, find a chance to ask Ruhl tomorrow." Xia sighed.
