Konoha Aogen

More than thirty cargo ships crossed into the Tianhe River, and Ye Xuan's tense mind finally had a moment of relaxation.

He was glad that there was no such thing as a "battleship" in this era. All the things that were expensive and did not help restrain an individual warrior had gradually decayed and disappeared over the past few hundred years. Such as battleships, such as city crossbows. The wars in the era of disasters are competitions and assassinations; the armaments in the era of disasters are "fire, water, drought and locusts".

The wet breeze accompanied the reflection of the setting sun in the river, soothing the six people lazily leaning on the bow of the boat. Even Han Xing's waist is not as straight as usual.

"High merits frighten the master, and great kindness is like enmity. I won't reward you." Ye Xuan leaned against the side of the ship and lightly kicked the residual image's calf.

"Shameless." Afterimage rolled his eyes at him and cursed with a proud smile.

Mu Qing'er sat cross-legged next to her. At this moment, the afterimage was not worried about the punishment that would result from being so presumptuous. Even if Mu Qing'er wants to beat her, she won't care about such a trivial matter when she understands the meaning of Ye Xuan's words. Afterimage believes that he should be able to be arrogant for a long time before Sister Qing'er is forced to endure it no longer.

In the battle with Hu Kang, the real winner is the "Shameless!" shouted by Afterimage!

Hu Kang pointed out the iron whip, and the afterimage immediately began to sneer, but it was not until the third move that he was disturbed. If it had been even half an instant later, when Ye Xuan's body was shaken out of the battle circle, Hu Kangrong would have had a moment to breathe, and he would have quickly seen the situation clearly. By that time, the matter of "giving way" may no longer bother him.

The Hidden Locust suddenly attacked and was forced to retreat after three moves. If it weren't for the timely and wonderful drink from Afterimage, if there wasn't that small bloody mouth that took advantage of the situation, Ye Xuan would not have had too many illusions about the outcome of the subsequent battle.

In this battle, it is not an exaggeration to say that Can and Ye killed Hu Kang together. Hu Kang's hesitation when he swung his whip was felt only by Ye Xuan, who was fighting against him, and no one else in the room noticed it. Afterimage is extremely alert, and when he hears Ye Xuan's words, he understands its meaning. Mu Qing'er and others didn't know that the residual image had made such a great contribution today until Ye Xuan explained the reason.

"Young Master, am I the one who caused this incident today?" Seeing that Ye Xuan was finally fine, Gui Mo felt a little relieved, but his mood was still low. He just listened to Ye Xuan's narration and realized that this battle was far worse than his own. I thought it was even more dangerous, and I felt even more guilty and frightened.

Ye Xuan did not want to blame Gui Mo in public, so he comforted him with gentle words: "In the final analysis, it was me who caused it. If you are not greedy for money, nothing will happen." Gui Mo shook his head, lowered his eyes and hugged his knees. Ye Xuan's words were ignored. Can comfort her.

Afterimage stretched out his hand and patted Gui Moth's back twice, trying his best to sound light and joking: "If I lose to 'Ruan Qi', 'Hu Kang' won't come either. Don't think of yourself as so important." .” Whether this is really the case, Afterimage doesn’t know. If they lose in Xixia, the reputation of the Konoha family will be damaged, or more bites will be attracted, and more greedy wolves will need to be killed along the way. Then Hu Kang might still come.

"Don't think of yourself as so important." This was originally a well-intentioned explanation from the residual image, but Gui Mo felt depressed, adding a lot of sensitivity and sadness. Thinking of the afterimage, I felt ashamed for a moment and just buried my head lower. When he caused trouble in Xixia, it was Xiaoying who took action to sort it out. Later, Hu Kang was attracted and wanted to cut off his left hand. Ye Xuan turned against him and fought to the death, but Xiaoying quickly broke the situation.

She was also an orphan from the "Xuanqing Academy". She entered the Night Palace after the afterimage, but arrived in the "drought state" first, and she was contented for a while. Later, Xiaoying's movements became faster and faster, and her moves became more and more strange. She could use new tricks that she had never seen before in almost every fight. She gradually couldn't keep up. Gui Mo knew that the young master would not be partial and hide his personal interests. Those strange tricks were not taught by Ye Xuan at all, but were figured out by Xiao Ying himself.

Later, he took charge of the "Security Corps" and lived idle. Xiaoying entered the "Mowen Tower", and within a few years, she kicked Ye Xuan out because she thought he was in the way and couldn't do things. Ye Xuan became an idler, but the "Mowen Pagoda" was in the hands of the afterimage, and the wind surged straight into the sky. The name of "Xue Zhaoguan" resounded in the sky, drifting north and south.

Gui Mo realized very early that apart from being more beautiful than Xiao Ying, he actually had no merit or merit compared to her. Thinking of this, big tears welled up from a pair of phoenix eyes, which could not be wiped away or wiped clean.

Afterimage stretched out her right hand and rubbed it to the side, her narrow hips pressed tightly against Gui Mo's crotch, and her slender arms held her plump body in his arms, caressing her gently in the river breeze like a big sister. Medium tousled dense hair.

"Why do we have to fight between life and death?" After a period of silence accompanied by sobbing, Lone Goose asked Ye Xuan. She didn't understand why Ye Xuan, who had always been timid and tactful, faced a powerful enemy today and took the initiative to intensify the situation to the point of getting out of hand.

"Yanzi, can't you even see this?" Without waiting for Ye Xuan to reply, Afterimage interjected, holding Gui Moth in his arms. Among the four of them, Afterimage is the closest to Gui Moth, while Han Xing is the most distant. As for Gu Yan, she was the last to enter the Night Palace. Half of her martial arts were taught by Ye Xuan, and the other half was learned from After Image.

More importantly, the afterimage seduced and taught her to "play the sparrow card", allowing the person who had no love in her life to find half of her interest. Therefore, although Gu Yan always has a cold attitude of "keep away from strangers", Biying regards her as half a disciple in his heart.

"I can't tell." Guyan responded indifferently, not angry or bickering.

"Hmph, I will teach you to be a good teacher today." If the other person was a ghost moth, the afterimage would definitely seduce her and force her to say flattering words before she would be willing to teach her. Lone Goose didn't know how to tease, so she had no choice but to talk to herself and get an advantage.

"What kind of military strength are we? Two locusts, four droughts; what is the strength of the opponent? One locust, twenty-five droughts! If we really fight, even if Sister Qing'er can withstand Hu Kang, even if the young master can withstand ten droughts, still There are fifteen people left, how should we divide it among the four of us?

Even if you were taken out to fight alone, could you defeat Chu Tianqiong? Did you defeat Yan He? Can Xiao Mo and I defeat Sang Shoutong and Qiu Shimai again? "As the afterimage spoke, she looked at "Han Xing" and "Ghost Moth" in her arms. If given the chance, she really wanted to compete with "Qiu Shimai", but she really had no confidence in the outcome.

Afterimage paused deliberately. She knew that the other three people were also imagining the scene of their battle with those masters. "If when estimating the combat power, you think that there are only 'one locust, twenty-five droughts' on the opposite side, that would be a big mistake! In addition to the leader of the 'Hang Gang', the other 19 great masters really came alone. Really? How many masters are hidden in those seven giant ships?

Hu Kang challenged Sister Qing'er, one used the 'Xuan Bamboo' and the other used the 'Iron Whip'. In the end, regardless of victory or defeat, both sides were probably exhausted. At that time, everyone inside and outside the boat will come together to kill us, so how can they stop us? Even if 'Hu Kang' didn't think so, there was no guarantee that there would be no culprits among the 'grand masters'.

The young master's rank on the other side will only increase his arrogance. With the massacre going on, if the young master moves again, he may not be able to hold himself back. The best way to solve this situation is to make a surprise attack by the Hidden Locust and kill Hu Kang quickly! Cut off his head, break his momentum, and chill his courage. The young master's first sword is almost done, what a pity..." The afterimage stared into the void, recalling the danger and excitement not long ago, and his heart was still excited. He paused for a moment and continued:

"Even if we can't kill him quickly, it's still a hundred times better to bring out 'Hu Kang' to fight against the 'Young Master' than to have 'Sister Qing'er' do it. Even if both sides suffer losses, at least our side has a 'hidden locust that suddenly appears, and a clear locust appears'" "Unmoving" scene. You are leading the troops, do you know what "unmoving as a mountain" means?"

After the shadow of the exam, Lone Goose asked and answered: "It's not about being as motionless as a mountain, but 'the mountain cannot move'! Sister Qing'er is the 'mountain' of our 'Konoha family'. When the mountain moves, the momentum will rise." It will collapse. From the outside, once 'Sister Qing'er' and 'Hu Kang' get involved, our trump card will be revealed.

On the other hand, the stronger we are, the more terrifying 'Sister Qing'er' will be in the eyes of others. This is why 'Young Master' must pick up 'Hu Kang', and also why we originally wanted 'Little Moth' to be killed by one person. The reason for 'burnt and sweet'. "After that, the afterimage looked at Ye Xuan, waiting for his praise.

Unexpectedly, Ye Xuan said: "What you said is right, but I don't think so." There was deep fear and self-blame in his eyes: "I insulted Hu Kang and screamed about life and death, just because I was really scared. In Kurong City, people call me 'Lord of the Skirt' behind my back, but I'm not angry; you often say that I'm greedy, lustful, cowardly and stingy, but I'm not angry; on the way back north, I crossed the river and was blackmailed, and Xixia was wronged and humiliated. I’m not angry. Only when Hu Kang pressed me today did I get angry. Why do you think this is?”

Ye Xuan also imitated the afterimage and asked himself: "Humph, I feel that I am smart and cunning, and I am not surprised by favors or insults. Now that I think about it, it is all because I have never encountered a truly strong enemy since I started my career. I thought that I was good at weighing and knowing how to advance and retreat. , but in fact, I only have the courage to retreat when I am condescending and confident. When I am in danger of life and death, and when I am pressured by a strong person, I will just pounce on and bite like a mad dog."

The afterimage looked at Ye Xuan with a complicated expression. She didn't want to accept this explanation, and she didn't want Ye Xuan to belittle herself so much.

"I almost tired you all today. I'm sorry. I won't make such a mistake again." Ye Xuan looked around the five people with apologetic eyes.

"Young Master... don't say that." Gui Mo held back her tears and comforted her with a tearful tone.

"If you had it to do over again, what would you choose?" Afterimage asked in a low voice.

"If I still have my wits about me, I will tell my senior sister that I will only take one move from Hu Kang, reveal the locust realm, and immediately admit defeat. My strength will not be lost, and my deterrence will not be reduced. At that time, I will talk to Hu Kang sincerely as a defeated general, and half of them will be killed. The gold bricks were given to the southerners to apologize, in exchange for Xiao Mo and Han Xing's palms.

No one on the other side really cares about the death of 'Jiao and Gan', but there must be many people who are greedy for money. This kind of approach is probably feasible. If the opponent still refuses to give up, I will bypass Hu Kang and call out to "Chu Tianqiong", threatening that if I lose the battle, I will lose both my hands. As long as 'Chu Tianqiong' dares to respond, he can show us the locust realm. At that time, anyone who wants to cull and encircle them will have to pull out the abacus again. "Ye Xuan's tone was solemn, as if the war had not yet begun and Hu Kang was not dead.

"We have been preparing for several months, traveling back and forth for half a year, spending thousands of people and money, and risking an empty nest. How about threatening someone with such hard-earned gold bricks and then casually giving away half of it?" Ye Xuan asked after the shadow. Before, listening to what he said and looking at his expression, I had vaguely guessed what he was going to say. Now that I heard it with my own ears, I was still filled with resentment.

(This chapter is not over, please turn the page)

Ji: "What if they want to swallow them all? What if they refuse to let Xiao Mo and Han Xing go?"

"This is impossible, especially after I showed my kindness and revealed my trump card." Ye Xuan did not say this. Because what the afterimage asked was what if.

"Simple. The six of us immediately turned around and ran away. Hu Kang respects his identity and will never chase. As long as Hu Kang doesn't chase, no one will dare to chase. The BRIC incident is all a dream." Ye Xuan honestly thought in his heart As expected, be prepared to deal with the occurrence of afterimages.

Gui Moth, who was hugged by Afterimage, was holding her right hand tightly, pinching her knuckles until they turned white, and then suppressed the curse that Afterimage was about to blurt out. Although the afterimage didn't speak, Ye Xuan looked at her expression and his meaning was very clear: "You want to be shameless!"

There was also a tacit understanding. Ye Xuan simply responded without waiting for her to speak: "Do you want face or life?"

Afterimage took a deep breath and turned into a ghost moth to hold her in his arms, caressing her back and whispering comfort: "We'll talk about it when we get back, we'll talk about it when we get back."

Afterimage suppressed his anger, and his tone became more determined: "Ye Xuan, if I call you young master, I won't be afraid that you will put my life on the gambling table. As the head of the family, you should also have this awareness!"

Ye Xuan stretched out his hand to stop Mu Qing'er and choked back: "Hu Kang has this consciousness, he is dead."

Hearing Ye Xuan's sarcasm, Afterimage's anger rose again: "How can a person in the world not be in danger? If you really cherish your life, we will abandon these ships, seal the Mowen Tower, and abandon Kurong City. Xunrong City. A pure place, where you can live among a group of rich and idle people. You teach me your skills, and I will look after your home and care for you. I will pay you in this life, so accept it! You are the one who wants to make money, and what can you gain by making money? Tell me. That’s all! If you want to make money, I will help you make money. If you want to get treasures, I will get them for you. I just ask you to behave like a man and don’t always look forward and backward, and act in both directions!"

"Are your skin tight again?" Mu Qing'er looked at the afterimage, a fierce light looming in his eyes.

No matter how angry the afterimage was, he did not dare to roar at Mu Qing'er. At this time, I felt a bad breath in my chest. I immediately shut up and refused to give in. I endured it for a long time, and with tears in my eyes, I bitterly said: "Huh, let's figure it out when we get back. You can't hit me on the way!" He didn't dare to stare at the wood while speaking. With Qing'er's eyes in mind, after saying that, he stood up and entered the cabin, pretending to be angry and leaving the table, but in fact he talked back to Mu Qing'er and ran away in fear.

Ye Xuan lowered his head and said nothing, as if he was hurt by the afterimage scolding. The rare lightness after the battle disappeared, and the air became low and solemn again.

In fact, as early as in "Rongrong City", Can and Ye had discussed the issue of "how to deal with Hu Kang blocking the road." The worst expectation at that time was to face "the entire Hang Gang" plus "three or four sects". I never expected that such masters as "Qiong Tianchu, Sang Shoutong, Yan He, Qiu Shimai" would attract nineteen people at once! This was far beyond their plans. In such a critical situation, how to use the "hidden card" of "Ye Xuan"? After the two people reviewed the situation, they still inevitably had great differences.

"We escaped, what will happen to the soldiers?" Guyan only waited for the afterimage to finish arguing before speaking out the question in his mind.

"As long as they don't grab the gold bricks and flee in all directions, no one will care about the soldiers." Ye Xuan said indifferently.

The word "miscellaneous soldiers" made Guyan feel very uncomfortable. Ye Xuan looked in his eyes and thought wrongly: "I'm just telling the facts, not trying to defend anything. Even if they are really going to be slaughtered by 'Hu Kang', I can't care about them."

Ye Xuan's shameless magnanimity actually made Guyan feel a little more relaxed. Suddenly a question came to my mouth and I swallowed it back. She wanted to know, "If I can't let go of these 'miscellaneous soldiers' and refuse to retreat, what will happen to you?" After this thought flashed through her mind, Gu Yan immediately cursed herself for being despicable, hating herself for having such ridiculous expectations.

She and Ye Xuan were just "business" from the beginning. If Afterimage and Ghost Moth do not retreat, Ye Xuan may be willing to fight to the death. However, although Afterimage scolds fiercely, he is the person least likely to disobey the enemy; what if Hanxing does not retreat? Guyan wasn't sure whether Ye Xuan would stay for her; but if it were him... hmph. Thinking of the scene of that black shadow floating away, why would I be angry?

After her husband died, Gu Yan thought to herself that she should no longer have any fantasies about any man, whether physically or emotionally. What's happening now? Recalling that the moment Ye Xuan shouted to Hu Kang, "Win or lose, life or death", his heart suddenly tightened. Whether there is Ye Xuan or not, it does not hinder "keeping the promise", so why should we care about his life or death?

While he was thinking about it, Ye Xuan had already stood up, looked for a bucket of water on the deck, slowly pulled out the "Xue Zang", and wiped the blood stains that had not yet dried. The afterglow of the setting sun reflected on the blade of the sword, without a trace of light, only making the grayish white even more bleak.

"I don't know how long the people of Rama's family have been thirsty for you. A hundred years or a thousand years? Follow me and the first drop of blood you drink is the blood of Hu Kang from the Hang Gang. Girl, I am worthy of you." Ye Xuan Ai caressed "Xue Zang"'s waist which became increasingly dirty after cleaning, and murmured to himself.

Exile Diary - Excerpt (24)

Today Lin Jue took Anese and I to play in the city, with only six guards following him at a distance, fewer than when we first met him.

Just like yesterday, he pointed while talking to me. There are many merchants in the city, which is no different from "Kunst". He led us around for a long time, and it took us a whole day. This city is really not small. Many people in the city knew him and respected him very much. The vendors may have identified him through his "guards", but the stewards in the more luxurious-looking shops were obviously very familiar with him.

We stayed for a long time in a "cloth shop". The shop was very big. The man who looked like the owner took out many cloths of different colors and patterns for me to see and touch. The feel of these fabrics is similar to what I wear, very smooth, and a material not found in "Kunster". I'm not interested in this, but Lin Jue seems to be looking forward to my reaction. At this moment, I am not sure to what extent I can express my likes and dislikes in front of Lin Jue, so I will pretend for a while. I don’t know if it looks like the acting.

Anese seems to really like these useless things! I can’t blame her entirely. She has never been allowed to choose her own clothes since she was a child. When the tailor tailors clothes for me, she will use the leftover materials to make a set for her. At this point, the other slave girls were so jealous that they wanted to tear her apart. The tailor was also reluctant and thought it was an insult to make clothes for Anese. It was ridiculous. Who had time to care about the feelings of the craftsman.

Finally leaving these boring and colorful things, before leaving, I saw Lin Jue's guard giving the boss something, like coins. He doesn't want to make clothes for me, right?

We ate in a large tavern at noon. The tavern was very noisy, but we sat in a separate room, which was quite quiet. "Kunster" doesn't have such a big tavern. It's a bit like a banquet hall in a noble house. Of course, it's worse than the one in the palace. During the meal, Lin Jue's guards stood outside the door, and Anese stood aside to serve us.

I finally figured out what the "little wooden sticks" were for. They used them to eat. The waiter in the tavern gave me three different sized spoons. I guess it was Lin Jue’s order. Eating with wooden sticks is not difficult, just go back and learn how to do it. I also understand why there is no "fork and spoon". The small wooden stick replaces most of its functions.

People here also drink. I have never seen this kind of thing, but it is basically wine. Lin Jue was a little cautious when he brought the wine to me, maybe he was afraid that I would think it was poison, haha. I deliberately put the wine glass under my nose and sniffed it, nodded to him to reassure him, then raised my head and drank it all in one gulp. It didn't taste very good.

Lin Jue was a little surprised, then he smiled cheerfully, touched my empty glass lightly with his own, and drank the wine in one gulp. Clinking glasses should also be a form of etiquette, and it's an extremely friendly kind. After that, I took the initiative to clink glasses with Lin Jue, and he was very happy.

Lin Jue's drinking capacity was very poor. After drinking more than twenty glasses from such a small cup, he became a little drunk. Whenever my father was happy or unhappy, he would drink from the bucket. After having enough wine and food, Lin Jue continued to take us to play. I saw him swaying and reached out to help him. He looked at me with an expression full of gratitude, as if I had just rescued him from the "burning rack."

In the afternoon, he took me to visit some beautiful bottles and jars, but it was still nothing interesting. Next is painting and calligraphy, which I am interested in!

Most of the paintings here are pure black, but there are also colored ones. There are people, objects, and scenery in the paintings, but they don't look alike. The store Lin Jue brought me to must be the best shop in the city, so I guess the "not like the painting" was intentional, just like deliberately messing up the pronunciation when singing. I hope to gather more information about the world through "looking at paintings", but I didn't gain much today. These paintings are not grand enough, and there is no such thing as a kingdom or religion. Even the paintings here rarely show "more than one" people, and even the relationship between people cannot be seen.

The calligraphy is very interesting. People in this world like to hang calligraphy on the wall. There are even more calligraphy on the wall of this shop than paintings. It seems that the same is true at Lin Jue's house. There are all kinds of words on the wall, some of them are bloated, like curled up muskrats. Some are very skinny, like skeletons that have been chewed by clownfish. Some are very regular, some are very restless, but I always feel that these are the same kind of words, but someone deliberately distorts them in various ways, just like a painting deliberately unclear. If this is the case, will the words on the black stone that look like "hammer" also be some kind of distortion of this kind of words? Damn it, why didn’t I copy the words on the black stone onto the parchment book?

I saw that people in this world write with paintbrushes, and they write stupidly and slowly. From all aspects, this world cannot be so backward. I guess this is the pretentiousness of artists. But I haven’t seen any charcoal pens or anything similar yet.

Also, these words, which should fetch quite a lot of money, were all written on a very fragile paper. I tore a corner without using any force. Later, the store rolled up the words. I guess Lin Jue rolled them up. It bought it. I may have made a mistake, but it should be harmless. Lin Jue didn't react with any displeasure at all, and looked at my embarrassment with a fond smile. This makes me feel a little humiliated.

We stayed at the painting shop longer than the cloth shop.

(This chapter is not over, please turn the page)

After coming out of the painting shop, Lin Jue took me to a shop selling gems. When the store owner met Lin Jue, he was extremely flattering. It's not fear, it's the kind of flattery a businessman would have when he sees a big buyer. I guess this person is the shop owner. At the same time I discovered that the shop had its own guard with a knife.

The shop was filled with the kind of gems the "witch" gave me, and I even saw gold! The gold bracelet inlaid with purple gemstones was lying quietly in an inconspicuous place. I picked it up and felt it. The weight and texture were correct, it was gold. I can go around behind the crossbar and touch things in the store at will. It must be because of Lin Jue. This time I was careful not to break anything again.

Lin Jue didn't seem to be interested in these gold objects, so I pretended not to like them and put the bracelet back in its place.

After a while, Lin Jue said something to the shop owner. The boss was startled for a moment and walked into the inner room. After a while, he came out with a wooden tray. On the wooden tray were three exquisite small wooden boxes. The boss opened them one by one and opened each box. There is a gem in the box, the same kind that the "witch" gave me.

The boss fawningly took out the gem and handed it to me. I took it carefully and carefully observed the stick in my palm. I really couldn't see any difference from the one the "witch" gave me, except that the color was lighter. I returned the gem to the boss, and he handed me the second piece. I looked at it patiently for a while, and then exchanged it for the third piece.

After the third gem was carefully put back into the box by the boss, the three box lids were not closed. Lin Jue pointed at the three boxes, probably asking me which piece I liked. I guess Lin Jue is going to give me gems.

Sure enough, I pointed to the box on the right. Lin Jue took out the gems from the box without looking at the boss and solemnly put them into my hands. This was the first time he took the initiative to touch my body. I certainly wouldn't say no, be it a gem or a touch. When I landed, I also wore some gems on my body. I will pick the best one and give it to him tomorrow. Our relationship will be closer.

I held the gem, stared into Lin Jue's eyes and smiled lightly. Lin Jue seemed to want to hug me emotionally, but he restrained himself. Very good, it will look more dignified to be hugged by him after giving the gem in return.

After walking out of the shop, my right hand holding the gem was at a loss. Lin Jue thoughtfully took the gem and put it in the wooden box that the guard had brought. It was almost evening, and Lin Jue took me to a crowded street. Although it was crowded here, when people saw the guards with swords, they consciously gave up enough space for me and Lin Jue.

After walking for a while, we came to a place that looked like a small square. There was a large circle of people surrounding one part of the square. It seemed that there was a performance. This time, even the guards spent some effort to get the crowd to separate on both sides and make way for us. When I got closer, I realized that the performance hadn't started yet.

The actors looked towards us and did not salute Lin Jue, but they obviously accelerated their preparations. After a while, the performance started.

There are five performers, three of them playing three different instruments, like a warm-up, and then two actors appear. The two of them first talked in a pretentious tone, their voices getting louder and louder, as if they were arguing. Then they both drew their swords and struck at each other at the same time. I knew it was a fake attack, but I was still shocked. The two of them chopped and moved, and their movements Unprecedented speed. There were bursts of cheers from the crowd, and they were not very enthusiastic.

There was an explosion, the two knives collided, and the crowd cheered again. Next, the two swords struck each other faster and faster, just like the percussion at the royal banquet. I was so focused that my eyes could hardly keep up with the light of the sword. Every time I blinked, I would miss a subtle move. Just when I was about to lose my breath, the two of them suddenly jumped backwards at the same time, leaving a large gap in the field. The distance of this jump is not quite right!

Even greater fear struck my defenses, or should I say, my common sense. The man on the left suddenly jumped into the air, at least three times as tall as me, and struck down like a god. The man on the right instantly shrank into a ball and rolled to the side at a speed I couldn't imagine. With a squeaking sound, the steel knife cut into the solid soil and disappeared into the handle. Is this really a show?

The man who fell down saw his opponent's sword sinking into the ground and did not attack. The other person twisted his waist, pulled out the steel knife from the solid soil, and the two fought together again. I have no intention of watching the rest of the performance. I need time to digest the information just now. More importantly, I need time to calm down!

When I regained my consciousness, I realized I had made a serious mistake. Just what a hopeless expression did you show just now? What a gaffe! I mustered up the courage to look at Lin Jue and found that he was also looking at me, with another doting smile that made me feel humiliated. Well, at least it was better than contempt.

The performance did not last long, and there were no more unreasonable scenes later. After watching the performance, Lin Jue took me to a somewhat shabby open-air shop on a nearby street, with a shed, a few tables and stools, and a big pot. I understand what Lin Jue means. Sometimes the dirty food cooked by civilians is particularly delicious, and it is also the case in "Kunster".

The benches were full of people, and the guards went over and gave each person a coin and politely asked them to leave. The owner, chef, and waiter of this store are all the same short man, as is often the case in small stalls. Lin Jue ignored him, the guard said something to him, and the man returned to the disaster side respectfully. Another guard took out a handkerchief and cleaned a table and stool for us. I sat generously on the stool and smiled at Lin Jue. He showed a relieved expression and sat on the stool to my left.

I pulled Anese to sit on my right side, and she obeyed me with some fear. This is a bold attempt. Today at noon, Anese stood by to wait for me and Lin Jue to have dinner. She didn't eat a bite of the food. Lin Jue obviously knew her identity as a slave girl. However, at this time, Lin Jue showed no displeasure at Anese's arrival.

This means that I am free to deal with Anesse according to my own wishes, and it is not an insult to others to be nice to her. The nobles here are quite nice, not as pretentious as those in "Kunst". In retrospect, it was too early to make such an attempt on only the third day. This is called being arrogant. I'll have to be more careful in the future.

Soon, the boss brought three bowls of steaming hot food. These bowls and spoons were definitely not from the stall. Did the guard still bring these? Lin Jue is really considerate.

This is snake soup! The smell of the seasoning was so strong that I didn't realize that what was cooking in the pot was my favorite snake meat. The texture is definitely that of snake meat, you can’t go wrong with it. There are snakes in this world, so great! There was other meat besides snake meat, but I couldn't identify what it was. Anese and I looked at each other, and it was obvious that she also tasted snakes.

After finishing one bowl, I pointed to the pot again, indicating that I wanted another bowl. Lin Jue was so happy that he immediately called to the boss to bring over two more bowls, and gave the other bowl to Anese. He only finished half of his snake soup and kept watching me eat it. I have gradually learned some tips on how to get along with Lin Jue. I don’t need to be too reserved in front of him. I occasionally make mistakes and show weakness. I give him the opportunity to tolerate and protect me, and show my dependence and approval on him at the right time. can make him happy.

When my second bowl of snake soup bottomed out, Lin Jue had also finished his first bowl. When he saw that I was full, he stopped eating and signaled the guard to pay the bill. Lin felt that he didn't seem to have any money on him. I stretched out my hand to stop the guard, pointed at his money bag, and then looked at Lin Jue. Lin Jue understood, took the money bag and handed it to me. I took out a coin and looked at it carefully. It was silver. I handed back the purse, the guard paid a silver coin, and the boss bowed gratefully.

I was shocked that one silver coin could buy five bowls of snake soup. How poor the poor people here are! I soon realized that this idea was wrong. It had nothing to do with poverty, but a problem with money. Silver in this world is very expensive. Therefore, Lin Jue's indifference towards goldware in the gem shop may be due to the opposite reason. Perhaps "gold" is not as valuable here as in "Wulfganga".

After eating the snake soup, it was already getting late. Lin Jue didn't take me to wander around anymore. The day's play was over. Lin Jue sent me back to the small courtyard and handed the box containing the gems to Anese at the entrance of the courtyard.

After returning to the bedroom, Anese and I drank the clear and bitter soup while exchanging today's information. I like this bitter soup more and more.

I let Anese stay in my bedroom that night. During the days of drifting in the "Endless Sea", I had become accustomed to having this bitch sleeping beside me. Now that I was on land, the solidity under my feet could not dispel the loneliness and fear that bit me late at night.

Today’s gains are as follows:

1: The city we are in is larger than "Kunster City". Through my observations during the day, I felt more and more that the Lin Jue family should be the highest authority in this city. If the common sense of this world is the same as that of "Wolfgangga", then a larger city means a larger area of ​​vassal territory outside the city. So the "witch" is the king?

Two: Today I further confirmed that there is a power in this world that I cannot understand. Is it "witchcraft" if a performer can jump so high? People seem to be used to this kind of thing.

Three: It’s been three days, and I still haven’t found any traces of “gods” in this world. I haven’t seen people praying in the yard, and I haven’t seen anything like a temple in the city. Is there no God in this world? That would be wonderful.

Four: Treating Anese well will not cause Lin Jue discomfort. What if I whip Lin Jue in front of her? I can vaguely feel that this is not a good idea.

Five: There is gold and silver in this world, but the rarity of gold and silver is inconsistent with my original understanding.

Six: Since landing, all the land I have seen is yellow, which is completely different from the red soil of "Wulfgangga".

Seven: My favorite snake meat can still be eaten in the future!

Eight: The most important thing is that Lin Jue likes me.

Additional task list:

One: Learn to use the coins of this world. This is much easier than learning to speak.

Two: Find out as soon as possible whether the "witch" is the king. If so, why are there so few guards? Is it related to "witchcraft"?

Three: Find out as soon as possible whether Lin Jue has a wife and children.

Four: I found a charcoal pen or something similar, and I almost couldn’t write anymore.
