Chapter 1 The Et Family(1/2)
The huge convoy dragged a long track on the country road and continued to extend to the north.
After passing through the Villas Mountains, enter the Meha Plain.
This is the largest plain area of the Lance Empire. The plains are covered with waterways and densely packed with ditches. The developed and good water conservancy irrigation facilities ensure the stable development of the imperial agriculture.
Spring is the season for sowing. Along the way, you can often see farmers working hard to plow the land. The crops produced by the empire are not much different in essence and even in form from the world that Xiu Yi once experienced in his mind. Even the methods of farming have many overlaps, but they are slightly different in some details.
For example, the livestock used here are larger and more powerful hexagonal beasts. They have huge bodies and gentle tempers. They even have a large water sac under the big head with six horns, which can complete the sprinkling work during farming.
In terms of work efficiency, although the feudal era in the magic world did not have scientific and technological products, it created a feudal civilization that was not inferior to that of the scientific and technological era through its own unique magic culture.
To some extent, it is even more exaggerated.
Shuyi likes to sit in a carriage, watch creatures he has never seen before, and experience some lifestyles he has never experienced.
Only at this time will he feel that life is beautiful, interesting and reminiscent of.
Compared to his hellish experience, every grass and tree in front of him made him feel unique.
"Is the scenery outside so beautiful?" Lilith's dissatisfied complaint came to his ears.
Sitting in the carriage paved with red velvet, you can vaguely smell a faint fragrance of women. Compared to the once wild half-elf bandit, Xiu Yi found that Lilith is becoming more and more feminine.
She began to pay attention to dressing and fashion.
As people say: there are things that do not need to be taught specifically, and their yearning for a better life makes them willing to learn and accept.
"Ordinary life is only worth envious when you cannot have it." Xiu Yi replied in a slightly melancholy voice.
Lilith looked at him with some surprise: "Sometimes I am really curious about what kind of person you are and how can you have such thoughts. Most of the time, you don't look like a teenager, but more like an old and sophisticated adult. Can the bumpy experience really make a person change as much?"
A faint smile was twisted at the corner of Xiuyi's mouth: "No, I have to add some talent."
A quick horse ran over outside the carriage. It was Releyessa, the robber leader of the warrior.
"It's almost dark, there is an abandoned village in front of you. Why not stay there tonight."
Xiuyi nodded: "Go and notify Mrs. Christine."
"OK."
The convoy heading to Winlington was composed of the Dardanelles family and the Weston family of Christine. At this moment, Christine was in another carriage.
After obtaining Christine's permission, the carriage headed towards the small village and arrived after a clock.
I don’t know how long this village has been abandoned, and it has been deserted for 1m, and it is deserted and covered with weeds. There is a small forest to the west, and a few small white flowers are blooming in the sparse bushes.
When people came to the village, they found that there was already a convoy here.
The convoy was not large in number and seemed to have come from another place, but the target direction was the same as that of Xiuyi and the others.
Lelejesa came over again: "There are other convoys here, do you need me to find out?"
"Let Huoding negotiate, he is better at this." I hope it won't be a troublesome person, Xiu Yi thought.
Not long after, Hodding returned from another convoy with a graceful pace, and came to Xiuyi's carriage, saluted and made full use of the noble rules, and then whispered: "The convoy from the border claims to be the Et family, and said that it was because of war, so he decided to move to the country."
"Where are they going?" Xiuyi asked.
"Winlington."
"On the same road." Xiu Yi muttered: "Who is in charge?"
"A person who is almost the same as me, named Daqi. What's interesting is..." Huoding looked back at the convoy, and then whispered in a mouth that was lowered again: "I smelled a similar smell from him."
The same taste?
Xiu Yi was slightly stunned.
He fully understood what Huoding said.
The one who is best at discovering scammers is not the agent, but the liar himself.
Even if there is no reason, just a few ordinary conversations, they can smell the secret hidden behind the professionally trained smile from each other.
But now, Huo Ding found this feeling from the other party's leader.
what does that mean?
Xiuyi's brain was spinning rapidly, and he whispered: "Is there any decent bandit organization in the Maiha Plain?"
"I haven't heard of it. This is the empire's granary, the most tight area in the empire. There are only scattered scattered bandits, but the gangs with climate are almost invisible. Moreover, the plain terrain is not suitable for bandits to hide."
"Then it's just that I came in outside... No matter what kind of organization it is, it is impossible for a liar to be the leader. Such a person can be a good assistant, but he can never control the overall situation." Xiu Yi said with certainty: "The Dutch you have met must not be the real head."
"I think so too. There are six carriages in the convoy, one of which has never come out."
"It will always come out, you have to eat, right?" Xiu Yi said coldly: "Tell brothers, be careful not to fall into trouble here, but don't take the initiative to cause trouble."
"I will." Hodding nodded and left.
There were about seventy or eighty people in the mysterious convoy in the distance.
Except for some middle- and senior figures who are riding horses and horses, most of them follow along.
These people don’t seem to have any fighting spirit ability, they look ordinary, but they are just ordinary servants, but for some reason, Xiu Yi felt uneasy in his heart.
He was wondering, but saw Barkler coming over.
"Those people are a little weird," Barkler said in a deep voice.
"You feel it too?" Xiu Yi asked.
"Yes."
"But I'm very sure that there is no fighting spirit on them. You know, you may not be able to see the depth of the low-level level, but it is not that difficult to see the low-level level."
"This is exactly why the weird existence exists. I can feel a scent of killing and a strong smell of blood." Barkler said with a serious expression: "Although they have tried to suppress this smell, I still feel it."
"Lilesa and the others?"
"No!" Barkler immediately shook his head: "It's stronger than that, it's not a robber, but more like a soldier."
Xiuyi frowned: "A group of soldiers?"
"Maybe, and the most elite kind."
"Elite soldiers who can't fight?"
"That's why it's strange." Barkler looked at the distance coldly before turning around and said, "I felt the smell of death, and I felt a trembling feeling in my heart. Maybe they hid it well, but the prey was born to be wary of hunters. They were like a group of death, terrible life harvesters. Although they looked powerless now, my feelings told me that everyone there had harvested at least hundreds of lives on their hands."
Barkler's expression was very serious and his attitude was very serious.
This was the first time that Shuyi saw Bakler's expression like this, which surprised him a little.
He lowered his head and thought for a while: "No matter who they are, there is no evidence that they are for us. There is no need to be too nervous when an ordinary encounter. Let our people keep a distance from them, make too much contact. If there is anything that needs negotiation, let Huo Ding do it. Let everyone set out tomorrow morning and hurry up on the road."
"good."
For Xiuyi, all potential problems should be avoided as much as possible.
He doesn't like meaningless exotics.
For this reason, he even gave up using the scout bee to reconnaise the other party. The world is so big and there are countless strange people. Who knows who can see through his scout bee? If a meaningless exploration brings trouble to himself, that is unnecessary.
Both convoys were preparing for busy sleeping in the open. They used a bluestone as the boundary and did not invade each other in a tacit understanding.
Occasionally, I will give each other a polite smile.
The servants of the family quickly made all the preparations that they had to do in the open, lit firewood, and set up a tent. After all, Xiuyi got out of the car with Lilith. He followed Barkler, and tried his best to command everything by Barkler and Christine.
The convoy on the opposite side was obviously ready to sleep. Xiuyi noticed that four people walked down from the carriage that Hodding was referring to.
The leader was the middle-aged man named Ducky who had communicated with Hodding. He was dressed in particular, with gold-rimmed glasses on his face and a cute mustache. Judging from his outfit, this man and Hodding looked like a pair of brothers.
Behind him, there was a young girl, an old man with a cane and a middle-aged warrior with a sword.
This is the only warrior in this Eger family who appears publicly as a samurai.
Xiu Yi was curious for a moment and couldn't help but look at the warrior a few more times. The warrior seemed to have noticed something and looked in the direction of Xiu Yi. At that moment, Xiu Yi's eyes seemed to be pierced by a needle. He quickly turned his head away, and a storm had already arisen in his heart.
That warrior is definitely a real strong man!
It’s just a pity that with Xiu Yi’s strength, the depth of the other party is still not visible.
As for Barkler, it seems that Barkler didn't notice anything at all, which means that the other party is definitely much stronger than Barkler.
But the problem is that even if Xiu Yi faced Kevin Beals before, he did not have the shock he had just seen.
Could it be that warrior is...
Xiu Yi let out a long sigh, suppressing the shock in his heart.
—"Interesting..." The warrior in the distance looked at Shuyi deeply, and then muttered softly.
"What happened? Lord Bruin?" asked the man named Ducky.
"It's nothing, I just discovered a boy with excellent spiritual sense, and I also noticed a sign of fighting spirit from him."
The girl immediately asked, "How is the strength? Which one is it?"
"The strength is just that boy standing next to the half-elf girl." Bruin replied.
Although Lilith covered her ears with her long hair, the warrior still saw Lilith's background at a glance.
To be continued...
