Chapter 19: Oolong

"Isn't the Black Forest dangerous?" Zhao Xi frowned and said, "Why don't you take a detour and choose to go through the Black Forest instead?"

"Because if you take a detour, you either have to go back from the original route or go around the entire Black Forest, but both routes will take more than a month and a half. ”

Buffy slowly explained to Zhao Xi why he didn't take a detour, and also took out a map from his arms, and pointed out the location of the Black Forest on the map.

Zhao Xi looked at the Black Forest on the map, its shape was rooted in the northern realm like a huge heart, occupying almost one-tenth of the entire northern territory.

Even the Shydrea, which is marked on the map, pales in comparison, and the largest city in the north is not as big as a corner of it.

"And it only takes half a month for us to cross this Black Forest, isn't time also a kind of money for businessmen?" Buffy said with a smile.

"But won't there be any danger in this way?" Zhao Xi continued to ask his own questions.

"Of course there will be danger!That's why I've hired so many mercenaries!" Buffy patted Dorne, who was closer to him.

"But the Black Forest, which even the gods of justice find tricky, isn't it for several captains..."

Although Zhao Xi's words were not finished, the meaning contained in them was understood by the other people in the carriage, but several mercenary captains were not angry, they just looked at Zhao Xi with strange expressions.

"You don't think there's an army of demons in the Black Forest. Sid on the side asked in a low voice.

"Ahh

"Hahaha, how is it possible, if there is really a demon legion, let alone a few of us, even the Kingdom Guard is just here to deliver food. ”

Sid laughed, and the rest of the more ruthless mercenary captains had a smile on their faces.

"The god of justice just can't purify the eroded part of the Black Forest, and of course there are no demons or anything. Buffy added an explanation next to him.

"Ahh Zhao Xi was also a little embarrassed at this time.

"That's right, at best, they're just ordinary demonic creatures, and our mercenaries can definitely deal with them. Sid patted his chest and made a promise.

"Then I'll get out of the car and take a look. ”

Zhao Xi let out a dry laugh and hurriedly got out of the carriage, and Buffy and everyone looked at Zhao Xi's departing back and couldn't help laughing together.

"When I saw Mr. Donn, I remembered that when I had a few adventures, I thought that the continent was full of dangers. Sid said with a smile.

The two mercenary captains next to him also shook their heads with a smile, as if they remembered what they had taken on before, and let out a long sigh in unison.

Zhao Xi on the side felt that he was stupid just now, but he didn't blame him, after all, what Buffy just described was too serious, and Zhao Xi encountered a world about demons again.

caused Zhao Xi to think that there were demons in the town, and where there was chaos erosion, wouldn't it be that demons were rampant?

Although Zhao Xi read many books in the viscount's house, most of the books in the collection were autobiographies of knights and heroic stories, and there was very little to be done with chaos.

The author of the general common sense book also felt that there was no need to write too much detail, everyone naturally understood, so he ruined Zhao Xi.

Zhao Xi felt a little fever on his face, in fact, he was also a little afraid in his heart, fortunately, the other party just felt that he had less adventure experience, if he really thought about it, he would definitely feel that something was wrong.

He calmed down a little, and silently told himself in his heart not to make such an obvious mistake next time, after all, although a merchant loves money, he will not joke with his life.

And there are such ordinary people in this caravan, looking at their relaxed appearance, it is estimated that they are not worried about the problems of the Black Forest, so what is there to be afraid of?

Thinking of this, Zhao Xi patted his face a few times, thinking that he had been caused by the sequelae of Viscount Xifa, thinking that the water outside was as deep as the water in Shuguang Town.

But it's all out, and it's just sitting when I get back to the car, so it's better to get down and move my body and see how Cornelia and the two of them are doing.

Zhao Xi put the long sword in his hand at his waist and slowly walked to the back of the convoy to the carriage where Nelia and Dorothy were.

At this time, Zhao Xi realized that although he felt that the speed of the convoy was a little slow on the carriage, he felt that the speed of the carriage was not much slower than that of ordinary people.

And the horses pulling the cart also look much stronger than the horses in the previous world, and they are much taller than what Zhao Xi saw on TV, and almost all of them are more than two meters tall.

Moreover, Zhao Xi found that the ordinary height in this world is also relatively high, his height of more than one meter and seven meters is the shortest among men, and even some female mercenaries are taller than him.

Fortunately, Zhao Xi is only sixteen years old, and he can grow even longer, otherwise it would not be good to have to look up to others for a lifetime of dialogue.

To be honest, Zhao Xi hadn't paid attention to height before, and he usually had more contact with kobolds, so he felt that kobolds might be taller than humans.

And the humans in this world seem to be much stronger than the humans in the previous world, maybe this is the benefit of the High Demon World?

However, Zhao Xi only thought about these things in his mind for a while and didn't care about them anymore, the genetic differences of the entire human race were not a problem he should worry about.

However, when Zhao Xi walked on the road, he once again felt the enthusiasm of the people of another world.

Because of his appearance, he always felt that the mercenaries around him seemed to be looking at him carefully, and some of them were more daring and even threw flattering eyes at him.

Where had Zhao Xi seen this kind of battle, in the face of this kind of offensive, he was almost immediately defeated, and fled in a hurry.

Many female mercenaries burst into laughter after seeing him escape, and some male mercenaries on the side were also watching Zhao Xi's jokes, adding a bit of fun to the boring journey.

With Zhao Xi's deliberate speed, he soon came to the carriage where Cornelia and Dorothy were.

The driver who was driving the car obviously recognized the young man in front of him as the guest he was temporarily in charge of, and nodded at Zhao Xi with a smile.

Zhao Xi also nodded to the coachman and went directly into the carriage.

As soon as Zhao Xi entered the carriage, he saw the second daughter drowsy in the carriage, and it was also a little hypnotic under the seemingly rhythmic shaking of the carriage.

However, when Zhao Xi just entered the carriage, Cornelia still opened her eyes vigilantly and saw that it was Zhao Xi who had closed her eyes again.

"How is it, are you still used to staying in the carriage?" Zhao Xi asked the second daughter in the carriage.

"Hmm. ”

Dorothy still didn't seem to be very awake, and when she heard Zhao Xi's question, she just hummed softly, and didn't even open her eyes.

"If no one comes to disturb our sleep, I think I'll get used to it a little more. Cornelia turned her head to the side and ignored Zhao Xi.

Although Zhao Xi was already a little accustomed to Cornelia's poisonous tongue, he couldn't help but feel a little angry after listening to Cornelia's words.

"That's embarrassing. Zhao Xi forced a smile and squeezed out this sentence.

"But if you don't stay in front of that businessman named Buffy, why are you here with us, don't forget that people paid to hire you. ”

Cornelia also opened her eyes at this time and stretched her waist, looking at Zhao Xi at the door of the carriage.

Zhao Xi was also a little embarrassed at this time, and he couldn't say that he made a joke because he was too ignorant, and he felt a little embarrassed to stay in the carriage, so he came out for a walk.

It was estimated that Cornelia would not laugh at him, so Zhao Xi decided to hide this fact and began to tell Cornelia about the information he had learned.

In fact, after getting along for a while, Zhao Xi also found that Cornelia, like himself, didn't know anything about the affairs of this continent at all.

If it weren't for the fact that she believed in a god, and that she didn't react to his occasional mention of something about the previous world, Zhao Xi would have suspected that she seemed to be a time-traveler like herself.

According to Cornelia, she seemed to have lost her previous memories, and she saw Zhao Xi at the first glance when she woke up from a deep sleep, and she didn't know anything else.

Zhao Xi felt that although Cornelia was usually a little vicious, she had never deceived herself, so he didn't ask much about it.

After listening to Zhao Xi's story, Cornelia just nodded slightly, and then seemed to remember something.

"But even then you can't take it lightly, Bishop Darren said that the Black Forest has also killed many knights, so you better be careful. ”

After listening to Cornelia's words, Zhao Xi's heart also gave birth to a warm current, and he patted his chest.

"Of course, I still have that bit of proportion. ”

After speaking, Zhao Xi also immediately got out of the carriage, after all, the two girls are sleeping here, and it is indeed a little bad for a man to stay for too long, and it is good for the body to walk around more outside.

Zhao Xi picked a piece of grass on the side of the road casually, cleaned it up and put it in his mouth without chewing, but felt the faint bitter taste of the grass juice, and his mood was much more relaxed.

Now the distance traveled by the convoy has exceeded the distance that Zhao Xi has explored in the past two months, and it is said that time has passed quickly, but in fact, it is almost noon when the wounded are picked up.

Zhao Xi and the others set off at dawn in the morning, and before they knew it, they had already walked all morning.

He saw that the carriage in front of him had begun to stop one after another, and the drivers began to feed the horses pulling the cart with bean cakes and water, and let the horses start to rest in place for a while.

The surrounding mercenaries also began to choose a place to sit down and began to eat the dry food they carried with them.

Just as Zhao Xi wanted to go back to the car to have lunch with Cornelia and the others, a mercenary hurried past him.
