I really don't want to cross

Chapter 362 The New World
"So……"

Wood looked at the surrounding environment and said to himself: "What should I do next?"

He was standing by the side of a road paved with bluestones. He seemed not to have been noticed by the people around him for Wood's sudden appearance. Difficult to determine.

As for why I say that, it is because besides humans, there are many strange upright walking creatures interspersed in the streets.

For example, people with animal ears and some kind of beast characteristics; or creatures like lizards, snakes and other mutants. Their appearance is more inclined to monsters, except that they can speak human words and walk upright.

Existences like this walked among the crowd without any violation, buying things, selling things, playing with children, etc., forming a very fantastic picture.

And the surrounding architectural style is not modern, but similar to the mentally handicapped world where Akuya and the others live. The medieval-style buildings are like engraved from a mold.

People dressed in the same way. Some wore armor and held long swords; some wore robes and carried wands;

In short, just looking at it on the surface, this should be an adventurer's world with a worldview similar to that of 'blessing the beautiful world', almost the same as the 'different world' described in many fantasy novels.

For these...

Wood didn't feel any surprise, because he was no stranger to this world.So before crossing, he bought this dark purple thief light outfit from the COS store to make himself less conspicuous.

From the effect point of view, except for the different materials of the clothes, there is actually not much difference from the clothes worn by most thieves.

——A different world starting from zero.

This is Wood's perception of the world in his memory. Of course, it is the perception of the world through a cold screen, but in front of him is a real world, a world that he has existed... and may even become an important part of his life. world.

"Hey, how long are you going to stand here?"

A childish voice came from behind Wood, with dissatisfaction in his tone.

"Business is not very good. You have been standing here not buying anything, and there will be no customers buying our things."

Wood turned around, and what he saw was a little boy who looked about twelve or thirteen years old and was dressed in sackcloth.His complexion is a little dark yellow, and his figure is relatively thin. It seems that he is a little malnourished.

Beside the little boy was a little girl who looked about the same age as him, with the same complexion as a little boy, wearing a crumpled dark yellow dress, timidly hiding behind the little boy and looking at Wood.

In front of them was a rag, on which were some unknown vegetables; some looked like eggplants, and some looked like tomatoes, which looked as if they had been picked before they were fully ripe. And the quantity is not large, there are less than ten of each kind.

"What are you looking at? If you don't buy anything, get out of the way quickly. Don't think that I can't beat you if you are older. Even if the young master of a rich family delays my selling things, I will beat you!!"

Seeing Wood's looking up and down eyes, the little boy suddenly showed annoyance on his face, and stared at Wood without fear.It should be said that even if you are afraid, you can't be afraid. From the perspective of a normal person...Wood is about 14 years old.

The figure under the purple thief outfit is also extremely thin, not much better than a malnourished little boy. With that pale face, this figure looks like a terminally ill child.

He has a big temper.

Wood curled his lips, and didn't bother to argue with this kid, but directly took out a pure gold ring from his arms, tossed it with his hand and smiled: "Answer me a few questions, and I'll give you all the things here Buy them all."

After traveling so many times, Wood has become more and more familiar with time travel, and the preparations before time travel have changed from paper money at the beginning to gold now.After all, paper currency is useless in many worlds, but gold is rarely useless in worlds.

It's the same here, when the little boy saw the golden ring thrown up and down by Wood, his eyes suddenly widened, revealing undisguised greed.

"no problem!"

As if afraid of Wood's remorse, the little boy stood up hastily, and said flatteringly: "I dare not say anything else, I still know a lot about various things in the capital."

King's capital?
Wood frowned: "Where is the capital?"

The little boy gave Wood a strange look: "Does it need to be said? Of course it is Lugnica."

"Hey~~"

Wood couldn't help sighing. Although judging from the system's urination all the time, he had vaguely guessed, but after confirming it, he couldn't help but scold the system in his heart.

Lugnica.

This is a country that has built prosperity by signing a covenant with the dragon, Bolkenny, so it is also called the 'Dragon Kingdom'!
It is precisely because of this that Lugnica can avoid all crises under the protection of the dragon, whether it is war, plague or even famine. In the long history of the kingdom, the word "dragon" has never disappeared.

However, relying too much on the covenant and paying attention to the historical records of the "Shenlong" made this country too fragile to survive independently. Once faced with a situation that shakes the country, it would do nothing but ask for help from the Shenlong or the prophecy board——Dragon Calendar stone.

And the reason why Wood knows this place so well is because this is the beginning of everything. In an easy-to-understand sentence... this is where the plot begins, and it is also the beginning of the hero taking the first step in life and gradually becoming awesome ...

Well, the above is normal. In this world, a certain bitter guy is the only male lead that Wood has watched anime for so many years, and he doesn't envy.

but……

Although that bitter experience was extremely tragic, in Wood's view, this is the most normal development.

Traveling through this kind of thing itself is extremely dangerous, and those who can be known are all successfully pretending to be coercive...

Shaking his head, Wood didn't think about that bitter guy anymore, he just came to this world to avoid the limelight, and he didn't want to be drawn into those whirlpools that were troublesome just thinking about it.

I asked the little boy some more questions, and Wood probably confirmed the current timeline. The election of the king in his memory is indeed in progress, but the fifth candidate has not yet appeared, so it can be seen that the timeline he is in should not yet appear. to the beginning of the plot.

Of course, it is also possible that a certain bitterness is in a certain place right now, unfolding his bitter life according to the original track.

The so-called king selection, as the name suggests, is the selection of the next king.

However, the Kingdom of Lugnica is not a so-called democratic selection, but an inheritance system; it's just that after the previous king died for unknown reasons, all members of the royal family died one after another as if they were suffering from an infectious disease.

Normally……

In this case, even if the country is destroyed, it is a very normal situation, but the Lugnica Kingdom is a kingdom that has signed a covenant with the dragon, so under the protection of the dragon, even if there is a "royal family extinction" In this situation, the entire kingdom is still operating normally, and no one has done such a stupid thing as forcibly becoming a royal family by force.

In the end, it naturally developed into the current situation... Only the five "Dragon Witches" recognized by the "Dragon" can obtain badges with dragon patterns, and thus are eligible to participate in the election for the throne.

Of course, this is not to say that before the birth of the new king, the country will be governed by no one. When it comes to this, we have to mention a group.

——The Council of Wise Men.

A group that manages the country in place of the king when the Lugnica Kingdom conducts king elections.

Of course, this is an external statement.

Because even when the king was still alive, the Sage Council was still managing the entire country in the name of "assistant", and it was precisely because of this special mechanism that even if the royal family died... it did not have any impact on the kingdom.

At the end of the day...

The royal family whose blood has been cut off directly gives people a feeling of extremely low presence.

"Tsk tsk."

Using the information from the little boy's mouth, Wood also speculated about the current situation, and came to a very powerful conclusion, saying: "It is better to leave this place of right and wrong as soon as possible before the vortex appears. "

"Is there anything else you want to ask?"

The little boy still didn't take his eyes off the golden ring that was being thrown in Wood's hand. In Wood's view, if there weren't so many people on the street, the little boy might have rushed to grab it; compared to the little boy, the little girl's performance It is barely normal, although there is greed, but most of them are just desires.

"Nothing."

"Isn't it supposed to..."

Wood nodded, put the ring into his bosom while the ring was falling, and at the same time took out the money bag that he had just 'taken back' at a speed invisible to the naked eye, and said with a slight smile: "How much are the vegetables here in total? Give you the money."

"..."

"..."

The little boy looked at the purse in Wood's hand, his expression froze immediately, and it took him a while to realize that his big eyes were bloodshot: "Bastard, are you kidding me?"

"what?"

The corner of Wood's mouth curled up, and he smiled lightly: "Little brother, how did I trick you?"

"Didn't you say you were going to give me that gold ring?"

"Oh?"

The smile on Wood's face gradually became vicious, and at the same time he blinked innocently: "When did I say I would give you the gold ring? If I remember correctly, I said 'answer me a few questions, and I'll give you the gold ring. You buy everything here', you never mentioned the word 'golden ring' from the beginning to the end."

"you……"

The little boy's face turned dark immediately, he stared at Wood fiercely, and shouted, "Do you think I'm a fool? The way you just tossed the ring was obviously saying 'I'll give you the gold ring, you tell me the information' what."

"Do you think I'm a fool?"

Wood imitated the tone of the little boy and roared: "How could I exchange a gold ring for this pile of rotten vegetables?"

"This……"

The little boy choked, and after thinking for a long time, he couldn't organize his words to refute Wood's words.

"Are you going to sell it or not? If you don't sell it, I'll just leave. I can just save a lot of money to buy bad vegetables." Wood said before he could speak, causing the little boy's expression to change. He stared at Wood for a while, and finally gritted his teeth severely.

"Sell!!"

"Ah, that's right."

Wood slapped his forehead and squinted at the little boy: "Don't ask too much, although I did say that I would buy all the dishes here, but if you ask for more than I understand, I will still turn around and leave Oh."

This bastard! !
The little boy was grinding his teeth, this bastard is really wicked.

If he didn't use the gold ring to lure him at first, but just agreed to buy all the vegetables here, he would also answer all the things Wood wanted to ask, and with the same enthusiasm as before.

But after making that gesture of 'throwing the ring', he was using money to buy vegetables here, so now he has an urge to rush up and fight with the opponent.

In the end, the little boy resigned to his fate and gave a relatively reasonable price. Wood clicked on the currency, and gave the little boy a penny, not a cent, which made the little boy gnash his teeth again.

Although the form of currency in this world is slightly different from that of Akuya and the others, the form is similar. This is probably the common setting of this "adventure to another world".

"Hmph, cheapskate!"

After taking the money, the little boy grumbled, and pulled the little girl behind him who hadn't spoken: "Go, Aina, let's go home!"

But he didn't pull it when he pulled it, which made the little boy turn his head with some doubts.

The girl named Aina shook her head at the boy, squatted down and arranged the vegetables neatly, and wrapped them up one by one with the rags underneath.

"cut."

The little boy turned his head when he saw this, but he didn't stop him.

A smile flashed in Wood's eyes when he saw this.

Sure enough, he still prefers sensible little lolitas to brats, although there are also a lot of extremely fucked brats among lolitas, for example, most of the nearly [-] lolitas at the beginning of Academy City are restless masters...often Breaking the training equipment he bought with great difficulty...

Having said that, the smile on Wood's face grew stronger.

After Aina wrapped all the vegetables, she handed them to Wood timidly, while bowing gratefully.

"Thank you."

Wood thanked, took the package, and at the same time reached out to rub Aina's hair.

However, little Aina shrank her head in fear, causing Wood to miss her shot.

"My younger sister is much more sensible than my elder brother." Wood didn't care, retracted his hand and smiled.

although……

This is indeed a bit embarrassing!

After all, he had never been rejected by the little loli before.

"I want you to take care of it!!"

The little boy glared at Wood, and pulled little Aina up: "Aina, let's go, ignore this bad bastard." After that, he made a face at Wood, pulled little Aina and left.

However, before leaving, little Aina waved to Wood very politely.

Wood watched the two leave without staying where they were, and headed in the opposite direction with the package.

But after walking less than a hundred meters, Wood sighed.

"Didn't you follow?"

He muttered to himself inexplicably, hesitated for a few seconds, couldn't help but sighed again, turned around and walked in the direction where the two little boys left.

Although it seems to be walking normally, if you look closely, you will find that every time you walk into the blind spot of pedestrians' vision, others will suddenly jump forward a lot.

Finally, they came to the dark alley on the edge of the main road. According to the location distribution mentioned by the little boy earlier, the other street passing through this alley is the so-called slum.

But Wood already knew that the little boy and the others should have come there when he knew there was this slum, so there was no surprise about it.

And in this alley, an extremely old-fashioned scene is being staged.

Three older youths, who are not good at first glance, are blocking the little boy and Irene. Speaking of which, these three people look very distinctive...

One is tall and fat, one is short and thin, and the white-haired one in the middle is neither tall nor short. The three of them stand there like elementary school students standing in a row from tall to low.

……
-
Two in one.
