Raft Survival: Fished a mermaid at the beginning

Chapter 202 The money-greedy coachman

"Your Excellency Xiao Yang is really knowledgeable and talented. You have only been in this world for less than a year, and you have such a deep understanding of the customs and customs."

"Yes, our country does have the best and largest forests."

"My ancestors were hunters and lived in the forest, and my fief is also dozens of miles away from the royal mausoleum."

"My main duty is to guard the royal tomb, which is the highest honor bestowed on me by the king."

Garcia's face is full of pride, it seems that the king's favor for him is good.

Xiao Yang's mouth curled into a smile.

"It turns out that Commander Garcia has such a high status in the kingdom that he neglected it before."

Garcia was all smiles.

"Your Excellency Xiao Yang, don't worry about it. You are a lord, and you are on the same level as our king. Just treat me as a servant."

Garcia worked hard to please Xiao Yang to gain more favor.

Xiao Yang nodded slightly, "Okay! I'm going to travel around your home first, and then go to the capital."

Garcia nodded again and again, "It's a good arrangement, then let's go."

"Okay!" Xiao Yang said nothing.

……

The portal flashed.

The three of Xiao Yang appeared on the outskirts of a vast pine forest.

As the sun sets, the sky is full of red clouds, and the wind is rolling and the clouds are relaxing.

Green mountains are visible in the distance, and smoke is curling up from the kitchen.

The white stone houses and the clear stream form an interesting contrast.

Everything looked so peaceful.

Compared with the virgin forest of Boa Constrictor Island, it is closer to the rural mountain village.

Because the teleportation coordinates are not specified, the destination is random.

Garcia glanced in the direction of the mountain, looked nostalgically, and murmured to himself.

"When I was a child, I often went to pick up pine cones on that green pine mountain. The pine nuts are very fragrant when fried, and the game is also delicious when cooked with pressed oil."

"It's a pity that my father took me away from here, in order for me to enter the Warrior Academy and make a name for myself."

"I worked hard, graduated first in my senior year, and joined the King's Guard."

"After that, I worked for 20 years."

"All the way to the Warrior Commander."

"A lot of things happened during the period, and I also narrowly escaped death many times."

"But I have no regrets."

"I dedicated my youth to the kingdom! To the people of this land!"

Garcia's eyes were filled with pride.

Xiao Yang's eyes became gentle, "I can't tell that Mr. Garcia is also a temperamental person."

Old Garcia blushed, scratched his head in embarrassment, and waved his hands again and again.

"Haha, when I was young, my dream at the beginning was to become a troubadour, so I often like to say some poetic words, which makes you laugh."

"But my father said that I would be reckless if I had such a strong physique not to be a fighter."

"My father also said that only by becoming a hero can we protect more people."

Xiao Yang nodded slightly, "It seems you have a good father."

Garcia laughed and said, "My father is so old, his temper is as violent as if he had eaten gunpowder, and he often quarreled with others. If it wasn't for others looking at my face, he would have beaten him long ago."

"When you see him, don't reveal your identity."

Xiao Yang agreed, "Okay."

Garcia regarded himself as the host and led Xiao Yang and Alice along the road.

Not long after, a carriage drove up behind.

The sound of horse hooves is crisp and the bells are melodious.

When the three of them passed by, the coachman grabbed the reins.

"Three guests, it's going to be dark soon, and there are still more than 20 miles away from the village. Do you need a ride? It only costs 20 copper coins per person." The groom asked proactively.

"Is there anyone in the car?" Garcia asked curiously.

He could see that the beams of the cart were slightly bent and clearly carried weight.

The driver shook his head and said, "There is someone."

Garcia's face became ugly, "You money-greedy coachman, you have already lured customers, and you still want to lure us? Do other customers agree? Do you do business like this?"

The coachman looked wronged.

An old man's voice came from inside the carriage.

"The three travelers are the idea of ​​the young man, please don't wrong this kind coachman."

A shiny black wand parted the curtain, revealing a wrinkled face.

The old man is about 70 years old, wearing a pointed wizard hat, wearing a delicate wizard robe, and black shiny pointed leather boots are also decorated with mysterious magic patterns.

He had a ruddy complexion, narrow eyes, a barbed nose, and a goatee beard.

"It turned out to be a Mr. Magician!" Garcia saluted.

The old man stared at Garcia for a long time, frowned, and then returned to normal.

His eyes swept over Xiao Yang and Alice, his eyes narrowed, and then he showed a kind smile.

"The old man's name is Saruman, and he is a wandering magician."

"This is my beloved disciple, Nigan Jr., and this is his suggestion."

The old man patted a very young mage affectionately.

The little mage was about eight or nine years old, with fair skin and a very cute appearance.

He was wearing a wizard's robe that was slightly too big for his body type, and his hat almost covered his eyes.

He stretched out his little hand and tilted his hat to the back of his head, revealing a pair of bright eyes.

Little Negan explained:

"Actually, I asked the driver to take you."

"It's far from the village, and the coachman's family is very poor. It's not easy to travel a long distance. 20 copper coins are not too expensive."

"If you don't want to pay, I'll pay for you and you can ride for free."

Little Negan showed a shy but kind smile.

The coachman nodded vigorously, with a righteous look on his face, as if he was not a greedy person at all.

Garcia understood what had happened and couldn't help being a little embarrassed.

He scratched his head and bowed his head to the driver.

"Mr. coachman, it's my fault. I shouldn't question your enthusiasm."

The driver showed a conciliatory smile, "We are all customers from afar, the misunderstanding has been resolved! Come to my house today, and I will ask my wife to prepare stewed mutton with peas. She is very good at cooking! I will definitely give you a surprise!"

The coachman waved to the three of them to get on the bus.

Garcia turned back and glanced at Xiao Yang. Xiao Yang smiled faintly, grabbed the car and jumped on.

Alice also jumped lightly, bringing a burst of fragrance.

When Garcia went up, the car visibly sank, and the two old horses pulling it reluctantly snorted.

The coachman comforted the old horse kindly.

"Old fellows, work hard, earning money is not easy, I will go later, I will add fried beans for you!"

After the coachman said this, the old horse seemed to understand, his ears were shaking desperately, and he seemed very excited.

After a while, the carriage continued to drive.

The compartment is very spacious.

The old mage Saruman and his apprentice Negan were sitting on the side.

Xiao Yang, Alice and Garcia sat on the other side.

Negan looked at Alice with little stars in his eyes.

"Sister, you are so good-looking, better than all the senior sisters in our academy."

The old mage raised his hand and patted Negan on the back of the head.

Hate the iron but not the steel: "Let you study magic hard, what nonsense you have learned all day long, what do you know at a young age! Advanced meditation formulas, recite a hundred times silently for me, it is not enough, and you are not allowed to eat at night!"

Little Negan turned bitter and complained.
