When I came out of the mountain and walked through the swamp of flames, it was thanks to the wind magic ring that was plucked from the finger of the dead magician.
This ring is inlaid with a small wind magic, which is probably the result of the middle-level rank-Dodoro appraisal in terms of grade.
According to the mainland's magic grading system, the upper, middle and lower levels are divided into three levels, a total of nine levels, and the middle-level level. Although it is not too powerful, at least it can be regarded as entering the ranks of middle-level magic. The wind magic blessing on this ring is not enough to make people fly directly with the wind, but gliding can barely do it...
So, if you were to ask how they got across the Swamp of Fire...
Simple.
Xia put a ring on the poor worm, then tied the poor worm and Dodoro together, held one end in the swamp, lifted the two, and struggled to look at the opposite side and throw...
Xia Ya's strange power, coupled with the effect of wind magic, the poor worm and Dodoro directly took advantage of the situation to glide out, flying over the swamp, over the jungle, over a mountain...
When Xi Ya ran to find them, the two guys had been waiting for a long time under another hill, hanging on the branches.
"We go all the way to the south, through the red wilderness of the goblin's territory, and then we can enter the jungle area of Wildfire Plain. It takes half a month at most, and at least ten days, and we should be able to return to Wildfire Town." Dodoro rescued him from the tree: "Unfortunately, that guy in Oaks is gone. God forbid, it was not taken away by some jackal."
Saying that, Xiaya glanced at the humming magician, and muttered, "Ox is a very good servant, and now, just... hum."
Because of the magical effect of the dragon's blood, the poor worm's legs have recovered. Although the strength has not been fully recovered, the walking is no longer a serious problem, so naturally there is no need to rely on Xia to carry it as before.
And that poor magician, Todoro, behaved worse than the poor bastard—to be precise, the poor bastard before his injuries got better!
Mage's bodies are generally weak, but this Todoro's body is a little too weak. If the strength of a magician is inversely proportional to the quality of his body, Sodo Luo should be a super magician in this regard.
He just walked less than ten miles, and his legs were so weak that his face was earthy, and he was panting, as if he would die at any time.
Xia Ya was helpless. Not only could this servant not be able to help him carry things, he even had to help him twice when he was walking—if it weren’t for the fact that he had robbed him of a robe and felt a little embarrassed in his heart, he would have thrown this burden into the wild long ago. .
The three went south along the river, re-entered the red wilderness, and walked along the river. The poor worm remembered what he and this turtle had experienced on the way north, and couldn't help but sighed in his heart, those goblins, Those ghouls, those knights chasing them...
"Hey, Xia."
When they were camping at night, watching the turtle put out the fire, the three of them huddled together and lay on the ground heated by the fire. The poor man looked at Xia next to him and called out in a low voice. At this moment, the fire has been extinguished, and only the faint starlight is scattered. The poor worm only feels uneasy in his heart, and his face is a little hot. Fortunately, this turtle can't see clearly now...
pity…
"Yi? Why is your face as red as a monkey's butt?" Xi Ya stared at the poor bastard with round eyes.
The poor worm exclaimed and turned his head quickly: "Wow, why are you blushing! You... how did you see it!"
"I'm born with night eyes. No matter how dark it is, I can see. So, I'm a good hunter by nature... uh, witcher!" Char grinned and pointed to his eyes: "I'm good at this. Haven't I told you? Haha, sir, I have too many advantages, and it's normal that I can't remember some of them."
The poor worm cursed bitterly in her heart, but knowing that this turtle is actually Yeyan, she dared not look at him again, lowered her head, played with a dry tree stick in her hand, and whispered: "Hey, I Ask you, Xiaya, after we go back, what are your plans?"
"Plans?" The Turtle thought for a while, and couldn't help but grinned and said, "Of course there are a lot of them!! Now that I have come out this time with such a big harvest, I can get better equipment in the future. With powerful weapons and equipment, I can be a top witcher! Hehe, drink the best wine, live in a big house, wear comfortable clothes... well, yes, I can buy a small house in Wildfire with a yard in the back That kind of, ah yes, I also want to buy a horse, my riding skills are too bad, I want to hunt monsters in the wildfire in the future, but I can't ride a horse..."
He talked about it with relish, thinking of the days to come, the turtle was elated, and he only felt that he had changed his guns and guns, and there was quite a feeling of "I am rich now."
But what he said became more and more excited. The poor bastard listened, but sighed softly. She finally couldn't help raising her head and looked at Xia Ya in the dark - she couldn't see Xia Ya, but she hoped that Xia Ya could See her eyes.
"You, don't you just want to stay in Wildfire Town and be a witcher for a lifetime?"
Xia Ya asked back: "If not, what else can be done?"
"Have you... have you ever thought about leaving Wildfire, leaving here, and going to the Byzantine Empire? After all, where is the prosperous world, you can see many, many interesting places... "
"I'm not interested." Xia Ya shook his head. He replied simply and in a light tone: "I grew up here since I was a child, and everything I am familiar with is here. In the wilderness here, on the mountains here, I can find food to eat. , wear, drink, I know how to survive here. Although the people in Wildfire Town are a little cunning, the people here are extraordinarily disciplined. What we abide by here is a kind of law of the jungle. You are the boss if you are strong. Everyone Although they are all fierce, they all put the rules in plain sight. These rules are simple and clear, and if you follow the rules, you will live in peace. Generally speaking, although the people in Wildfire Town are fiercer, they are still simple.
But I heard the old guy say that in the Byzantine Empire, people everywhere are very complicated, especially those rich people, those nobles, they are all guys who eat people without spitting bones, face relatives, stab in the back, even if it is wildfire The original man-eating beasts are not as annoying as those guys. Instead of going to that kind of place, I might as well stay in Wildfire. Besides, I don't know anything, and I don't know what I can do except hunt here. "
"You... You are a rare warrior, you can become a warrior, you can become a bodyguard! A skill like you can definitely..." The poor worm hurriedly said.
Xia Ya snorted heavily: "Are you asking me to be a servant?"
He shook his head vigorously: "I'd rather be a mercenary, sleep in the open air, live an adventurous life, eat with blood and sweat, rather than be a bastard guard! Hmph, to be a bodyguard for those rich and aristocratic rich and aristocratic - they are sitting I stand when the uncle? I watch when they eat! Even when they are on the chick, I have to stand outside the door to watch the wind? Forget it! I won't do that kind of thing! I don't I like to see faces."
The poor bastard immediately knew the slip of the tongue: "Ah, I'm sorry, I didn't mean it that way, I know you don't like being restrained, but... you can go into the army, with your skills, if you want..."
As a poor man, if Xi Ya wants to join the army, he can naturally find a good background for him. Although it may be prosperous and wealthy, but at least "stepping up the sky" is almost the same.
Join the army
Xia Ya's eyes lit up, and he seemed a little moved, but then he shook his head and said: "Forget it, I still prefer to be a witcher, unconstrained, do whatever I want. As a soldier, a person like me, I'm afraid In a few days, he will be beheaded for violating military orders."
"No, you can actually..." The poor worm almost cried out when she was in a hurry, and then she realized that she had lost her way, and she quickly closed her mouth.
She originally wanted to say that, in fact, she could arrange Xiaya to live in her own place, and choose an army from the several regiments of the Byzantine Empire to defend the king's city and put him in. She has her own relationship to cover him, and no one will be embarrassed. He, and, maybe in the future will have the opportunity to meet often...
Xia Ya smiled: "Why do you seem to want me to be a soldier? Do you want to go? I think you should give up this idea! Although you are tall, you are too thin and can't bear hardship."
After a pause, he continued: "What about you? After returning to Wildfire Town, where are you going?"
"I..." The poor worm was suddenly at a loss.
where to go? go home
If I go back, my uncle will definitely kill him! And... when he knew about that incident, how would he be willing to go back? So... to Odin? But my father has passed away, and I went to Odin, and I am alone. Moreover, in the Odin Empire, the most important thing is blood. I am of Byzantine blood, and I have always been looked down upon by those Odin guys. If I go, I am afraid that in the future They will also live under the bullying and indifference of others.
After thinking about it, I can only go to my brother quietly. Looking at the whole continent, only my brother can fight against my uncle. If my brother wants to protect himself, my uncle can't do anything about him. Moreover, my brother has been very good to me since childhood. Although the two are only cousins, they are closer than brothers and sisters... Moreover, I heard that my uncle is not in good health, as long as I find a secret person under the arrangement of my brother After living in seclusion for a few years, when my uncle grows old and my brother takes the throne, everything will be very different!
But... a few years in seclusion...
"Well, I don't know either." The poor creature sighed.
"Ah, then... you can stay with me." Xia laughed.
The poor bastard's heart was beating wildly.
Stay, stay, stay with this turtle
Stay in Wildfire Town? Live with him? Wearing rough sackcloth clothes, eating those scones, listening to the heartless laughter and scolding voices of this native turtle every day... Seeing this guy's majestic appearance...
It seems... it seems very tempting...
Moreover, apart from being rude, this guy is actually a smart person with a lot of ideas in his heart, and he can protect himself... Moreover, after spending time with him, I also feel that this guy is not so annoying. , On the contrary, sometimes, I think the way he swears is quite cute...
The poor worm's mind was confused, and his breathing was a little short.
Thinking of going back to my brother, hiding in a remote place under the protection of my brother, although my brother will not let him suffer, and he must take care of himself with fine clothes and food, but he has lost his freedom since then, and he cannot walk around casually to avoid Discovered by uncle's people...
But to stay with this turtle is to give up his noble identity, and be willing to be an ordinary person with this turtle, simple clothes and rough food, poor food, no luxurious clothes, no exquisite jewelry, no admiring and respectful eyes , I don't have a big luxury house... But I can live a very simple life every day, looking at the simple smile and scolding of this native turtle, and, after a long time, he will always know his daughter's identity, so in the future...
Thinking of this, the poor worm's face was red and hot again, and he couldn't help covering his cheeks, but there was an indescribable subtle feeling in his heart.
"Hey, poor bastard, you can read and write, you can teach me later." Xia Ya rolled her eyes and said with a grin, "The old guy taught me to read and write the least, you can teach me more in the future, Also, that Majik language, you can also tell me, this time we got these things from the dead ghost magician, they must be valuable and good things, maybe there is something more in that magic book. Heavy value…”
The poor bastard couldn't help laughing... Sure enough, this guy wanted to keep himself, but he also had an intention to use it.
But already familiar with the nature of this earth turtle, the poor worm is not angry.
"Speaking of which, we can also form a trick board." The more Xia Ya said, the more excited he said: "Every winter, the monsters hibernate, and they can't hunt for three months. We can form a play troupe to make money in Wildfire Town! You are so ugly that you can play the clown! And I, I... ah, I can perform chest breaking boulders, and do things like rolling nails! Haha, anyway, with dragon blood smeared on the body, swords are invulnerable! These jobs It's not a piece of cake! And... ah, and you, you juggler, then you can show your show too."
Duo Duo Luo kept his mouth shut and listened, and when he heard this, he couldn't help but feel furious in his heart.
Conjuring? I, Lord Dotara, are a genuine and innocent magician! It's a magician! ! !
But Mr. Xia Ya said so, Dotolo still understands the truth of people under the eaves, he quickly accompanies a smile: "Yes, yes, I will try my best, I will try my best!"
The poor bastard just listened to it with fascination...
I can really stay in Wildfire Town and abandon all the heavy and pitiful things about my life. From now on, I am no longer a noble, just an ordinary girl, following this turtle, with his strong shoulders to rely on, with him A strong chest can protect himself, whether it's cooking and sewing clothes for him at home, or playing tricks with him and being a clown.
This simple heartless life seems...
seem…
Why does it seem that just thinking about it makes me feel so happy
※※※
Thinking about it, I don't know when, the poor worm had heavy eyelids and gradually fell asleep. In his dream, he seemed to be in a daze. Following Xi Ya came to Wildfire Town, the two lived in a small house with a yard. Inside, there is a warm fireplace, and the floor is covered with thick hides...
When it was almost dawn, there was a faint smile on the poor worm's face. She turned over, but suddenly felt a pain in her face.
A hand patted her face twice, and in a daze, she heard Xia Ya's low voice: "Hey, wake up! Wake up!"
The poor bastard opened his eyes and found himself lying beside Xia Ya, but this turtle's face was very gloomy!
The sky was just a little bright, why did this turtle call himself up so early
The poor worm rolled over and sat up, looked around, and suddenly his heart was cold! !
Not far from the surrounding, in the surrounding direction, in the hazy morning light, more than 20 cavalry had completely surrounded the small camp of three of them!
Several knights dismounted and stood around with weapons in hand, while the knights below were still riding on horses, holding bows and arrows in their hands, in a posture of full vigilance.
The nearest knights were only about ten steps away from here, and the long swords in their hands were sharp and cold!
Turtle stood beside him, with his chest outstretched and a fire fork in his hand, his face was as gloomy as ice!
Xiaya has already recognized these guys, and one of them standing opposite is the knight leader who competed with him last time.
Last time, I ran away before the other party arrived, but now it seems that there is no chance for the old trick to be repeated. The other party has firmly surrounded his camp, and he has no horses...
"Put down the weapon." The knight leader who lost to him last time had a gloomy expression and a hoarse voice: "Then come over by yourself! Alone!"
