Chapter 55: Return to Lan'er

10 a.m., outside Lan'er.

Zero sat in the carriage, lazily leaning against the door of the carriage, glancing at the glare of the sun, then leaned his head against the side of the carriage and hid his eyes in a shadow, then he let out a long yawn and rubbed his reddened eyes.

"Didn't you rest last night?" Lan Ya asked, sitting in the carriage, looking at Zero who was not in good spirits.

Hearing Lan Ya's words, Zero turned his head and smiled dryly: "It's nothing, I've been in the car for a long time, and I'm a little sleepy......"

With that, Zero turned his head back and continued to lean against the door.

He hadn't slept well, and after dinner last night he had slept with boys his age, a total of fifteen people in a tent. He had been tired for the past few days, and he wanted to sleep peacefully at night, but who knew that he would be disturbed by the snoring of the boys.

Zero has slept next to Josevi's bed every night for the past five years, and the elegant and peaceful lady of Josevi never makes any sound in his sleep, he falls asleep every night listening to the sound of the wind blowing the leaves and the water flowing in the mountain stream, never thinking that he will not be able to sleep because of the snoring of others. And because he is a mental magician, his perception is several times stronger than usual, if he doesn't deliberately close his senses, the snoring is like thunder to him, so after the fact that he found that he couldn't sleep in the middle of the night last night, he has been meditating on the dawn.

Zero never thought that he would not be able to sleep well after leaving the Saling Jungle, strong telekinesis is a gift from heaven but also a punishment, unless he finds a solution, he will not be able to sleep well in the future, the slightest disturbance may wake him up.

"What magic can silence sounds? barriers...... No, do you have to put an enchantment around the bed every time you sleep? It's too troublesome, it's a real headache...... What about space magic...... That's right, but silence magic is also a kind of enchantment......" Zero's mind suddenly flashed, and he opened his slightly closed eyes, and suddenly found the small glass bottle handed by the boy sitting on the beam on the other side of the carriage.

"Would you like some?" said Drow, waving the glass bottle in his hand at Zero.

"What is this?" Zero looked at Drow as he sat on the side, a little confused.

"Awakening water, a potion that can refresh the mind, I will be busy when I enter the city later, and I can't do it if I don't have energy. Drow bared his teeth and smiled at Zero.

It was a boy, with wheat-colored skin and muscular muscles, about the same age as Zero, but slightly shorter than Zero, and Zero thought he was a simple and sincere boy, and it was he who lent Zero his other quilt when he went to bed last night.

"Thank you. Zero said as he took the glass bottle from Drow's hand, raised his head and took a sip of the dark brown potion in the bottle.

A strong smell of herbs permeated Zero's mouth, and he felt that his entire mouth was filled with the bitterness of herbs, but when he breathed, there was a cool feeling of chewing mint leaves, and the drowsiness just now was swept away.

"It's a lot, isn't it?" Drow asked as he took the glass bottle Zero handed back, closing the cap.

"Well, it works well. Zero frowned and nodded, the bitter taste of the medicine in his mouth had not yet dissipated.

"Give~" Drow handed him another thing, and Zero took it and looked at the small piece of stuffed paper in his hand.

"It's mints, and I hate the bitter taste of the water. By the way, the water with mints is so refreshing that it flies. Drow said to Zero with a neat row of snow-white teeth.

"Thank you, it seems that you haven't drunk much sobering water~" Zero smiled and unpacked the package and threw the mints into his mouth.

"Hey...... Work needs it, work needs ......," Drow said to Zero with a wrinkled round nose and a smile.

Zero smiled and nodded in understanding, taking a deep breath, feeling the double coolness of the wake-up water and mints in his mouth.

"Hey, your name is Zero, isn't it?" asked a girl sitting next to Lan Ya in the carriage.

"Oh, that's right. Zero replied by turning his head slightly to look sideways at her.

In the carriage sat neatly the little dancers of the Dinace Entertainment Troupe, most of them were around 15 years old, and the oldest was no more than 18 years old. They usually perform as backup dancers, of course, the boys' troupe is not only girls, the boys are in the carriage behind, and the entire Dines amusement troupe forms a convoy of nearly a kilometer, which is advancing on this road to the city of Lan'er, the largest main carriage in the center of the convoy is carried by a magic vehicle with a larger capacity, and most of the members of the amusement troupe are carrying primitive carriages.

The girl who asked Zero a question smiled at Zero and said, "Is your name just one word?"

"Yes, I am an orphan with no father, no mother and no relatives, I don't know what my surname is, and no one has given me an ingenious name, so since I was sensible, I have given myself such a name, the simpler the name, the easier it is to remember, isn't it? Zero explained to her with a polite smile on his face all the time, in a gentle voice.

"Alas~He complimented you on your good looks~" The other girls joked with a smile.

The girl blushed from being told by her companions around her, and she coughed awkwardly and said to Zero, "I don't mean anything else, Zero...... Actually, I'm an orphan too. ”

Zero nodded to show that he didn't take it to heart, he smiled and said, "It's nothing, people always ask me how my name came from, I always have to explain it to them, I'm used to it." ”

"Actually, it's not just Yuli, most of the people in this car are orphans. Lan Ya patted the girl next to her on the shoulder and said to Zero.

"Oh, is it?" Zero was surprised.

"I'm an orphan too. ”

"People too~"

"And I'm still ......"

......

Zero listened to the girls in the carriage talking one after another, and looking at these girls with smiles on their faces, he suddenly felt an indescribable sense of belonging.

When he used to live alone, his friends around him had their own families, and there were few children from single-parent families in his circle of friends, let alone orphans. Now that there are so many orphans like him in front of him, he suddenly feels like he has found a place to belong.

"We were all adopted by the head of the regiment. The girl named Yuri, who was sitting next to Lanya, said to Zero with a smile.

"Oh, that's right. Zero said with a nod.

"The head of the regiment was a kind man, and he would often take in orphans who were wandering away, although he would make them work or train them to sing, dance, and juggle...... But everyone gets paid at the end of the month, and it's better to work in the troupe with the head of the troupe than to wander outside......" Yuri continued to say to Zero.

"So, even if you didn't play the piano well last night, the head of the regiment will let you stay, and even if you do odd jobs, he will definitely pay you. Another girl explained to Zero.

"It seems that the head of the regiment is really a good person. Zero exclaimed.

"Even if you can't play the piano, Sister Lanya will beg the head of the troupe to let you stay~" Another dancer quipped.

"Hey...... Your skin is itchy again, isn't it?" Lan Ya slapped the girl with a bite of silver teeth, and the girl giggled and dodged away.

"Haha...... Sister Lan Ya likes the little handsome guy, he saw that the little handsome guy couldn't walk~"

"You beg to be beaten!" Lan Ya blushed angrily and reached out to grab the girl.

"Hahaha......" A car of girls laughed along, and a silver bell-like laughter came out of the car, attracting a burst of sideways glances from the people around her.

Zero couldn't help laughing, and when the girls in the car finished fighting, he looked at them and said, "Don't say what kind of 'handsome guy' I am, there are more good-looking people in this world than me, and many times, looks don't determine anything." ”

"It's a handsome little guy~ And you're good-looking, and others look comfortable, I think you're much better looking than the guys in the car behind. Moreover, the piano still plays so well~" Yuli said to Zero with a smile.

"Yes, yes, you play the piano so well!"

"What kind of piano are you? There are so many instruments in our orchestra, I don't think I've ever seen anything like yours. ”

"That's called a guitar ......," Zero took the trouble to explain to them.

"Guitar...... What a strange name......"

"The sound is very good~"

"In the future, you will have to play for us often, and everyone will love to hear you play. ”

"It's playing the guitar, the guitar ......"

"Oooh...... Sorry ......"

"Play the guitar more, Sister Lan Ya will be able to dance more for us to see~"

"Hahaha...... Sister Lan Ya couldn't walk when she saw the little handsome guy, she could only dance~"

"Hey, hey, hey, are you begging like this today?" Lan Ya blushed and slapped the girls around her, and everyone burst into laughter.

"Don't make fun of me, the newcomer......" Zero felt a little embarrassed.

"Originally, Sister Lan Ya told us before that she wanted to marry a handsome and talented man, and I think she has a crush on you!"

"You little girl...... Lan Ya grabbed Yuli's neck and covered her mouth to prevent her from making a sound.

"What about Drow? I think Drow is good. Zero looked at the girls who were playing in the carriage, patted Zhuoer on the shoulder and said.

"He's just a fool~hahaha......" After a girl finished speaking, the whole girl in the car laughed, and Zhuoer just smiled with a mouthful of teeth and didn't speak.

Zero shook his head lightly, and said to the girls with a helpless smile: "You little girls, you can't always talk about the opposite sex by your looks, personality and character should be the topic of girls talking about the opposite sex." ”

"Well, that's right, I also think that appearance is not the most important thing for men, but also strength!" said one girl.

"Would you like to marry Juggernaut, do you want to?" another girl joked.

"Yes!

"You want to be beautiful!"

"Hahahaha......"

"Alas, I've heard that there is a sword master in Lan'er City. ”

"I know, I know, it's Wayne Crete, the Flame Swordmaster, right?"

"Everyone is so old, they must have families......"

"Oh~ He must have a son, wouldn't it be nice if you married his son. The son of the Sword Saint must also be the Sword Saint!"

"That makes sense......

"You want to be beautiful!"

"Hahahaha......"

Zero turned around, ignoring the chatting girls in the carriage, and calmly leaned back on the carriage, looking up at the troupe's convoy.

On the city wall of Chongyong Hundred Pheasants, the two big characters "Lan'er" shine brightly in the sun.

After five years, he is here again.
