A different world

After the pleasant dinner last time, the relationship between Lal and Murray has eased a lot. At first glance, the two seem to have no changes, but some subtle changes have taken place in their hearts.

Today is the day when the school gathers for departure. Lal got up early, packed up his travel things, and found that the two lazy guys were still sound asleep. He stepped forward and lifted one of them on the ground. With sleepy eyes, I looked left and right, but found nothing unusual, and planned to go back to sleep.Drink, you’re still awake, let’s see how I treat you, and make up your mind, Lal yelled into Xiaobai’s ear: “It’s time to eat! Delicious braised pork!”

Xiaobai was startled, jumped up with a jerk, his ears buzzed, and he still heard the words "braised pork", and immediately looked at Lal with bright eyes, and found that Lal was empty-handed, knowing that he had been fooled up.Can't help complaining: "Lal, you lied to me again."

"I'm not lying to you, how can I wake you up, I'm leaving for the West Asia continent today, don't you two want to go? If that's the case, I'll go by myself, you can stay and watch the house. "Lal said with a smirk.

"Whoever says no, of course we will. We will go with you wherever you go. We are best partners. We will not let you go on the road alone. I will be by your side." Bai quickly denied it.

"What do you mean by 'on the road'? I really can't speak. Wake Xiao Hei up quickly, and I have to go to the school to gather later. If you don't move, don't eat today's breakfast." Lal said.

"Move right away, isn't it fast? Look, I'll wake up Xiao Hei right away. Breakfast must be eaten. Didn't you say that skipping breakfast is bad for your health? I will eat it for my health." Xiao Bai defended road.

"Well, okay, hurry up and have breakfast, or there will be nothing left." After speaking, Lal went to the kitchen to get breakfast on the table.

Seeing that Lal had already brought the food, Xiaobai couldn't help being impatient. Seeing that Xiaohei was still sleeping, he stretched out his little paw to reveal the sharp tip of the claw, and pointed at Xiaohei's nose. Xiaohei, who was sleeping soundly, immediately woke up in pain. "Aww" yelled out, painful tears came down, opened his eyes and looked angrily at Xiaobai, the culprit, Xiaobai felt a little guilty, and said embarrassingly: "It's time for breakfast, I'll come Calling you. Seeing that you have not woken up, I moved a little, hehe..." After speaking, he ran away.

Poor Xiao Hei rubbed his little nose with his little paw, got up and chased after him.At this time, Lal had already prepared a good meal for them, and the two beasts didn't care about the fight, and started to eat one after another. These two guys really like each other, and they are both interested in eating. The two "foodies", Lal shook his head helplessly .

After breakfast, Lal picked up the big backpack he carried on his expedition, which contained some food and daily necessities, and rushed to the academy with the two beasts.When he came to the gate of the college, he found that many people had gathered, including the students who participated in this meeting, and many people who saw him off. Lal couldn't help but think of his parents in Sunset Town, and he hadn't gone back to see them for a long time. I don't know how they are doing, do his brothers and sisters miss him, it is inevitable that they miss him.At first, Lal was worried that he couldn't bring Xiaobai and Xiaohe with him, but he found that many people brought pets, and it seemed that they were not pets, but monsters were more appropriate.They are people's best companions when they stand in a fight. Lall let go of his worries and swaggered to the assembly point with the little white beasts.

Murray and his party had already arrived, and Jiaxi spotted Lal coming with sharp eyes, and hurriedly greeted, "Lal, come here."

Hearing Jiaxi calling him, Lal subconsciously walked towards Murray, which made Kaisen who was about to stop him just now a little depressed, he wanted Lal to join him.It turned out that these participants consciously formed a group with their acquaintances and stood together automatically. Everyone formed a small group with the group as the unit for the convenience of doing things outside.Lal still didn't know it at the moment, so he joined Murray's group in a daze.

Murray was very happy to see Lal joining his team. He glanced at Jia Xi approvingly. Care.

There were a total of 60 people on this trip, and 35 students participated in the meeting, of which every five people formed a group.There are a total of five teachers leading the team, headed by Mr. Sig, and the other four teachers are two magicians and two swordsmen. These teachers, Lal and the others, have never met before.In addition, there are [-] escorts sent by the academy to escort the safety of the students in case of accidents.The college prepared ten carriages and twenty horses.Half of the escorts were riding horses, and half were driving chariots. Some swordsmen also chose to ride horses. Of course, magicians were much weaker than swordsmen in terms of physical strength and organization, so they all chose to travel by chariot.

After the team was ready, the dean said some words of wishes and instructions, and the whole team set off.Among the five teachers, Mr. Sig led the other two magic teachers into the first car, and then the students sat in their own cars in turn according to the groups they had divided before. Some swordsmen chose to ride horses, like Kaisen. The choice is to ride a horse.Of course Lal chose the carriage, he didn't want to be bumped on the horse's back.According to the previous grouping, they were the fifth group, and Lal entered the sixth carriage, followed by Murray. However, Jiaxi and the others chose to ride horses instead of getting on the carriage, so that only Lal entered the carriage. Be alone with Murray.Lal felt a little awkward for just the two of them, while Murray felt very good about it.

The others got on their horses one by one, and the two swordsman teachers chose to ride at the end of the team, while the escorts guarded the team to protect their safety.Soon the whole team set off in the direction of the West Asia continent. Because the whole team had a carriage, the driving speed was not fast. The whole team was moving forward unhurriedly. It will be a long journey, no accidents If it is true, history will definitely reach its destination in one and a half months, but can the sky follow people's wishes, and things often backfire.

The whole team headed west along the road outside the mountain range. All the way, the eyes were green, the roads were lush and green, and the chirping of birds could be heard from time to time. The students sat in the car and chatted for a while. He and Murray were the only ones in Lal's car, and of course the two beasts he brought. Murray didn't talk much at first, and he was watching quietly with a book. Bored, I took out the magic book I found before from the space ring and read it. The content in the book was boring. After a while, Lal dozed off on the carriage. Murray looked up and saw that Lal tilted his head. Ya was dozing off on the carriage, with a book on her lap, she couldn't help but smile, got up and sat next to Lal, resting his head on his shoulder, helping him adjust various comfortable postures, Make it sleep more comfortably.Xiaobai and Xiaohei had long been asleep in the carriage, not paying attention to Murray's little movements.

Lal slept quite comfortably this time. When he was sound asleep, the car stopped suddenly. Out of inertia, Lal and Murray couldn't help but rush forward. Murray put his arms around Lal's front He leaned over to prevent him from having an intimate kiss with the carriage, and held the carriage with one hand to stabilize his figure.The sudden shock woke up Lal, Bai and Xiao Hei.

"What happened?" Lal opened his eyes and asked in panic.

"I don't know what happened, let's go down and see.

"Ah, good," Lal belatedly realized that he was actually lying in Murray's arms. What was going on, he didn't have time to think about it, and quickly left Murray's arms with a blushing face. Without paying attention, he bumped into the car. At the top, "Ah, it hurts so much, I'm sure I'm going to pack it." Lal touched his head with his hand, looked at Murray with resentful eyes, and complained.

Hearing Lal's pain, Murray subconsciously wanted to touch Lal's head, but before touching it, Lal turned around and jumped off the carriage.

Lal got out of the carriage to look, and was stunned by the sight in front of him. What kind of place is this? Just now (before going to bed) there were still green mountains and green waters. Why did he come to the big desert now? It’s so desolate.

It turned out that after a day's journey, the team has now reached the border of the Jinri Empire, and their journey needs to pass through a great wasteland.This great desert is usually sparsely populated, and those who take this road are usually multinational businessmen, tourists, and adventurers. A group of robber gangs who reap for nothing and kill like hemp, these robbers roam around, live in no fixed place, and make a living by robbing businessmen and tourists, making this road to the wilderness a dangerous road.For huge benefits, the merchants did not hesitate to take risks and hire mercenaries to escort the team.

Now Lal and the others have come to the edge of the great wilderness, and they can see that the wilderness is overgrown with weeds, windy and sandy, and extremely desolate. On both sides of the road, you can vaguely see piles of unknown bones, whether they are animals or humans, especially gloomy.The afterglow of the setting sun is getting less and less, and it is getting dark. It is undoubtedly dangerous to cross the wilderness at night. Mr. Sig decided to camp at the edge, sleep in the open for one night, and go on the road at dawn tomorrow.So the entire convoy was ordered to stop and camp on the spot.

The students got out of the car one after another, gathered the vehicles and horses together, and started to set up tents in groups. Lal didn't want to squeeze in with others, so he took out the tent he had prepared from the space ring and set it up. Murray stepped forward to help Build together, Jiaxi, Lanrui, and Jielin set up another tent.

With Murray's help, Lal's tent was quickly set up. After working hard for a long time, his stomach was so hungry that he was groaning. Lal took out the pre-prepared food and cooking utensils, and was ready to cook. At this time , those three people also came over, waiting eagerly for Lal.Lal, who was about to cook, looked up and saw the four people and the two beasts looking at him eagerly with hungry eyes, and said helplessly, "Don't tell me, you didn't bring anything to eat." The four people nodded straightly. If you kill them, they won't say they brought them, but they want to eat the food made by Lal.

"Okay, I'll be yours, but I don't bring much, so you have to buy more after eating." Lal couldn't bear their hunger.Several people nodded boldly again, and they were all happy. They were going to be lucky, and they knew Lal's craftsmanship.

This time Lal didn't hide his clumsiness, and used the space ring without any scruples, because he found that many other students seemed to have space rings, which he had never seen before, and now it is estimated that they carry too many things when traveling, and many of them wear them Space rings, the few people in front of him have space rings, but what he doesn't know is that not many people have space rings, but the power of the few people in front of him is there, and it is not enough to have space rings Surprised.

Lal ordered the guys who were waiting to eat to pick up dry firewood and fetch water. He took out the meat that had been processed before, and also took the bread that had been prepared in advance.Soon they brought all the firewood and water back. Lal cooked a pot of broth and served it with the noodles he brought. Everyone ate very comfortably. People from the group came over to drink soup one after another, and Lal was also very generous, letting each other drink the soup. Jia Xi and the others looked distressed, and they all speeded up their eating speed. Soon a large pot of soup went into the stomachs of several people. A few people were hiccupping, walking with their stomachs outstretched, and Lal couldn't stop laughing, what a bunch of gluttons.

Chapter Forty: Encountering a Robber (Officially Entered V)

The author has something to say: This chapter is officially entered into V, I hope you like it.

Chapter Forty: Meeting the Robber

Don’t blame those people for being greedy. It’s because Lal’s craftsmanship is so good. The soup he makes is so delicious. Delicious food should of course go into one's own stomach, not for others.This disappointed a few girls who were attracted by the fragrance. They wanted to feast on their food, but they were eaten up by a few shameless big boys. They couldn't help but look at them with resentful eyes. He has a very thick skin, and he doesn't have any feelings of "compassion for fragrance and jade".

Seeing the disappointed expressions of the beauties, Lal felt a little sorry. While staring at the culprits with his eyes, he comforted the beauties, saying that next time he had the opportunity, he would make more and let everyone eat together. Hearing that all the beauties They all showed smiles and agreed to come to taste it next time, which coaxed the group of beauties away.

After eating and drinking, it's time to rest. After a day of exhaustion, Lal felt very tired and dragged his exhausted body to the tent. What he didn't expect was that Murray followed behind him step by step. He entered the tent, and there was a tendency to fall asleep here, which made him wake up instantly in a daze, and then he thought of some unhealthy images, and his face turned red. Fortunately, under the cover of night, Mu Ray didn't see any clues.

"Murray, don't you sleep with Jiaxi and the others?" Lal asked.

"There's no room for them anymore. It was originally a tent for two people, but now three people are crammed into it." Murray said in embarrassment, while looking at Lal expectantly.

"Oh, that's right. This is a tent for one person. If you don't mind being crowded, you can come and sleep together." After speaking, Lal wanted to slap himself. Isn't this inviting the "wolf" into the room? I talk too much.

"No, this tent looks very spacious." Hearing Lal's invitation, Murray's mouth rose, and he was indescribably happy. He originally wanted to live in a tent with Lal, and he wanted to give it a try. Thought, even if he disagrees, he still intends to stay here, but he didn't expect Lal to invite him directly, how could this make him unhappy.

The wind in the wilderness was very fierce at night, and the temperature dropped sharply. The weather was warm just now, but now it was biting cold. The students couldn't stand the cold and got into the tents to spend their first night of travel.There are only a few escorts standing guard outside to prevent accidental emergencies.

Lal took Xiaobai and the others into the tent, and Murray followed. Kaisen, who was in the distance, saw this scene, and felt a little angry.Although Lal felt uncomfortable being in the same room with Murray, he was able to face it calmly.He took out the blanket prepared in advance from the space ring and spread it on the ground, took out a thick quilt, took off his coat, Lal got into the warm quilt, looked up and saw Murray looking at Lal eagerly , and he didn't take out the quilt from his space ring, the purpose was obvious, he wanted to sleep with Lal.Lying down, Lal was about to go to bed, and found that Murray was standing on the side without moving, just looking at him helplessly.Lalton realized that this guy was doing it on purpose, but he only prepared a quilt, and he never thought that he would share the quilt with others.Looking at the pitiful eyes of the other party, Lal asked with a tight heart, "Don't tell me you didn't bring a quilt?" Murray nodded cheekily.

"Then you come in and sleep. It's agreed to be alone. Don't get too close to me. Keep a distance, understand?" Facing Murray's thick skin, Lal felt a little helpless. He couldn't really freeze him all night, right? , the temperature is so low now, it's not good to get sick from frostbite.

Hearing Lal's words, Murray was overjoyed, and hurriedly took off his coat and got into the warm quilt.The two Xiaobai were not in the mood to watch the awkward interaction between the two, they snuggled together early and fell asleep.Seeing Murray get into the quilt, Lal let out a lazily breath, lay on the side and soon fell asleep.Murray lay quietly on the other side. When he heard the sound of steady breathing from Lal, he knew that he was fast asleep. past.Lal, who was sleeping in Murray's warm embrace, didn't know about it, and slept very comfortably in his sleep.

Early the next morning, everyone got up one after another. It was impossible for them to sleep late here. The noisy voice woke up Lal. When he opened his eyes, he found himself lying in Murray's arms again. No wonder he felt so warm last night. It turned out that it was Murray's embrace that was warm. Lal carefully glanced at Murray and found that he was still sleeping, so he blushed and gently withdrew from Murray's embrace.Murray woke up long before Lal woke up. He had been dozing off and didn't move. Naturally, Lal's little movements could be seen in his eyes, but he didn't mention anything. He was already very satisfied that the two of them could be together like this. up.

Lal withdrew from Murray's arms and got up to get dressed.At this moment, Murray also opened his eyes. He didn't look at Lal's blushing face because of embarrassment. He quickly got up, got dressed, and walked out.Seeing that Murray had gone out, Lal also breathed a sigh of relief, put on his clothes, put the blanket and quilt into the ring, tidied up everything, and went out.

The sun is rising in the eastern sky, driving away the severe cold brought by the strong wind.Everyone had already woken up, packed their luggage, and some had already started cooking. Lal couldn't help but feel as if he was the last one to get up.With the help of Murray, Lal put away the tent, put it in the ring, took out the pot, and simply made a pot of rice porridge. This time, Jiaxi and the others did not come to eat, and this meal was only for Lal After eating with Murray and packing up their things, the team started today's day's itinerary.Their schedule today is very tight, and they need to pass through this great wilderness as soon as possible, because there are many unknown dangers in the wilderness, and if they stay here for one more day, the danger will be one more day.

The scenery of the wasteland is really depressing, all you see are dry grass and dry trees, scattered unknown bones, nothing, and from time to time there are a few strange birds wandering in the sky and singing, the sound is loud and unpleasant, it is unbearable than crow.In line with the depressing scenery, it gave people a creepy feeling. Lal lost interest after looking out of the car window for a few times. He sat in the car and meditated, while Murray on the other side read with relish with.The team moved forward methodically and quickly.

Suddenly, loud cries for help and chaotic running sounds came from afar, breaking the dull and quiet atmosphere.The vehicle in front had stopped, and the vehicles behind had also stopped.Lal opened the curtains, and through the car window, he saw a lot of people riding horses running towards them while shouting for help, and a team of horses followed behind, chasing the group of people in front persistently. .Lal's heart tightened, and he said, did he meet the legendary robber? I want to take a good look.Lal was not afraid of this, but wanted to see it. Living in the peaceful age of the 21st century, you can’t see real robbers. You can only watch fictional ones from movies and TV shows, which is not as satisfying as the real version.Thinking of this, Lal jumped off the carriage, and Murray jumped off immediately. At this time, many students got out of the carriage. Headed by Mr. Sig, everyone gathered together to observe the movement ahead. , Mr. Seeger's usually peaceful face had a rare heavy look on his face. He vaguely guessed that he might have encountered a robber in the wasteland.

The people in front who were calling for help found Lal and his team, as if they saw a savior, they ran desperately in this direction, and the horse team followed closely behind.The party that called for help soon came to Lal and his team.The one who took the lead was a middle-aged man, whose gorgeous clothes became a little messy because of the escape just now, and his neat hairstyle was also scattered, his face was flushed, there were beads of sweat on his head, and he was panting.He came straight to Mr. Sig to ask for help, and his voice was very urgent: "You guys, please save us, we encountered robbers, they killed all my escort team and robbed our goods, and still don't want to let go We, please save us, I can give you generous rewards..." Because of running, the words were a little broken, but the meaning of the expression was already very clear.

Teacher Sig frowned when he heard the other party's words, thinking, even if we don't save you now, we can't escape.But since it has caught up, there is no other way.

"Don't worry, we won't leave you alone." Teacher Sig gave a few simple words of comfort. Hearing the other party's affirmative words, the businessman and his team ignited hope for life.At this time, the horse team following the callers had already come over, seeing Lal's team was also brightened, and soon came to the team and stopped tens of meters away.

This is a horse team composed of more than 100 people, led by a tall and strong man, riding a tall black horse, wearing a black cloak, with long fiery red hair swaying in the wind, and a big face Underneath is a disheveled beard and a pair of bell-sized eyes, with a fierce look, a typical image of a robber.Lal, who was among the crowd, saw this vicious image, and couldn't help but burst out laughing, thinking that the thief seemed to have specially made a shape, it was so rigid, and it was comparable to the image in the TV series he had seen before. .Not understanding why Lal was laughing, Murray couldn't help but look a few more times, feeling that there was nothing special about this person, at least he didn't look very good, Murray thought angrily.

The team of merchants who ran over for help just now hid behind the team and treated the wounds, but the middle-aged man did not go to the back just now, and was with Mr. Sig and told him about the situation at that time.It turned out that this was a convoy of merchants. They traveled between the two continents for business all year round. They also knew that there were many bandits in the wasteland, so they hired a large number of mercenary escorts every time. This time they were no exception.It's just that I didn't expect that the gang of robbers I encountered this time was large in number and powerful. They not only stole the goods, but also killed and scattered his escorts, and wanted to kill them all. Seeing that something was wrong, the businessman boss led the rest of the people to escape all the way, but the robbers didn't seem to want to end the fighting game so quickly, and rode behind them on horseback. They just chased and didn't kill them immediately.At this moment, they found the convoy here, and ran to this side desperately for help, and of course the robbers were also led by them.
