Sword and Magic and Taxi

You are really stupid... Zhao Mai shook his head and decided to end the discussion with Ranger Carl. His heart was a little impatient and his thoughts began to waver again. On the one hand, he hurriedly left the battlefield and returned to his family, fearing that he would be persuaded by Karl; on the other hand, he was worried about his friends who might still be trapped in Nebo Town, for fear that he would never see them again. He was afraid that if he just left and did nothing, would he be considered a deserter?

The scene fell into awkward silence for a moment. Zhao Mai lowered his head, as if he could see some philosophy of life from the green grass on the ground. The reserve grain staggered between his feet, raised his head, and stared at his master with a pair of big black eyes.

What do you know, a puppy? How old are you? Are you over one year old? Zhao Mai couldn't help but chuckle and shook his head. He himself is not a young man, so what does he know? From birth to now for more than 20 years, I have always been under the wings of my parents. It can be said that I have grown up step by step, and there have never been any difficult choices. Even applying for college is just a risky choice based on your own grades.

This world is called Golarion, and it is the world background that Zhao Mai often uses when he and his friends play board game parties and role-playing games, so he always feels like he is in the game. Even though everything around him was clearly visible, audible and tangible, there was still a vague sense of unreality lingering in his mind. As long as it is a game, you will always be given a goal and tell you what to do. All you can choose is what method to use to complete the goal, but this is not the case in the real world. Life is not a game. The final destination is death. It is impossible for people to move forward with this as their goal.

Zhao Mai needs to set a goal for himself, not in action, but in spirit, so that he can set the tone for his actions. He wants to find a way to relieve his father's illness. The options he can choose include learning healing spells and obtaining various treasures. Of course, he can also steal, rob, or cheat. The reason why he doesn't use the following methods is precisely because he has a spiritual goal for himself: no matter what, he cannot degenerate into a bastard.

Vaguely, he could hear the sounds of battle in the distance: troops charging and shouts of death mixed together; the winch of the trebuchet tightened and released with a bang, and then there was a faint clatter when the rocks fell to the ground. noise.

He was not sure whether the sounds were real or imaginary, because soon they became weaker and weaker, and finally could no longer be heard. Another sound replaced it, the sound of a house collapsing in flames, the last battle cry of the defenders before their defeat, the desperate cry of a mother when her child died, and the proud laughter of an evil shadow.

He hit his head with his fist. Why was this terrible brain supplement ability working at full power at this time? In fact, the surroundings were very quiet, and silence still enveloped the woods. Zhao Mai looked at the people around him and gradually understood his own heart.

Karl, I...I have thought about it, I will take you back to Nebo Town. Zhao Mai said this, and he actually breathed a sigh of relief, and felt much more relaxed and comfortable. This is a very stupid decision, but I have thought about it. If you were seriously injured and died accidentally, wouldn't your idea of ​​going to the town be your last wish? How could I not help you fulfill it?

Nonsense! Why don't you want to order something good? Karl cursed with a smile, and then said: You are very good, much better than Solu.

But I have a request. Zhao Mai said: You want to educate Solu, he is your apprentice, this has nothing to do with me. But Solu killed the mother who was storing grain (It's the father, Karl corrected) , and took something that belonged to me, and I will definitely get it back. You can't influence me on this matter.

I will try my best to convince him, but I won't interfere with you. The ranger finally agreed.

Zhao Mai put the Ranger's arm on his shoulders and took him to continue southbound. Soon they found the taxi that had been hidden. The python was too big to get into the car, so Carl let it hide in the woods and find a place to heal its wounds first.

Opening the door, he finally fastened the seat belt on the Ranger, and then sat in the long-lost driver's seat. The sound of the engine was still strong and powerful. When all the indicators on the dashboard lit up, Zhao Mai regained the familiar feeling.

Ding ding ding... The phone vibrated. Zhao Mai was a little strange. There couldn't be a signal here, and he didn't set an alarm clock. How could there be a message notification sound? Quickly take it out and take a look. In the upper right corner of the icon of the taxi app app, there is an extra number 1 surrounded by a circle.

There is a passenger 1 meter away from you, heading from the junction of the Healthy Forest and Ash Lake in the Valicia region in northern Golarion to the town of Nebo. The distance is fifty kilometers and it takes an estimated hour.

Wait, how did this trigger, what did I do, and what did Karl do? This was Zhao Mai's first time taking an order since time travel, so he was naturally confused. Staring at the screen of his mobile phone, Zhao Mai was stunned for a full minute before he remembered to click the Receive Order button below the prompt.

We have arrived near the passengers. Please take photos to confirm that the passengers have boarded the bus.

After a flash of light, the image of Karl with his eyes tightly closed remained on the phone. Start navigation now, please wait...

You are very interesting. I suddenly understood a lot of things in my mind just now. The ranger squeezed his eyes hard and shed tears before feeling better. After all, you are a coachman!

I'm from another world, haven't I already told you this?

It seems that you always have a way to go back, right? This was not Karl's first time riding in a car, but it was the first time he realized this fact. You can actually forget everything that happens here. You were not born and raised here, you have no obligations here, and you don't need to take risks here, right?

I have thought clearly that there is no place where risks can be completely avoided. Whether small or big, sooner or later, I will always have to face a choice. It is good to have such an opportunity to examine my heart. Zhao Mai said with a smile: I admit that my sentiment and moral level cannot be a savior, but if I don't try to be a hero, wouldn't my life be in vain? I may not be able to defeat the enemy's army, but I can try to travel through time. The line of fire will take you to your destination.”

It is my duty to satisfy the passengers. Zhao Mai adjusted the gear to D and stepped on the accelerator. He imitated the bus announcement and said: When the bus starts, please hold on to the handrails. The station ahead is: Neibo Town. Please take revenge on the passengers who have grievances ahead, and redress their grievances. If you encounter turns and bumps, please pay attention. Keep your car clean.”
