Chapter 20 The Escort Task of the Compulsory Course for Traversers Boarding the Ship
"Big ...... Person...... Why do we do such a time-wasting thing, wouldn't it be better to cross the sea directly?"
A female ninja wearing a mist forehead was looking angrily at another ninja in front of her.
"Ahem......"
The other ninja coughed and said solemnly, "Yayoi, as members of the family, we must have the right idea to contribute to the family. ”
"It's weird!"
Yayoi muttered in a low voice, saying in a voice that was loud enough to be heard, even though it was self-talking, "I think you just want to play!"
Shui Wuyue Kai had a rare look of embarrassment on his face, pretending not to hear Yayoi's "self-talk", stood up and said, "Okay, okay, it's time, it's time for us to gather." ”
With that, he stood up and walked in the direction of the port.
That's right, in order to complete the "compulsory course" of a traverser, Shui Wuyueqi took the two of them on an escort mission.
However, the identity of the three of them disguised is a strange combination of "samurai + onmyoji + shrine maiden".
Then, after a small demonstration of their skills, they successfully obtained a request for employment from a merchant group.
Since the country of vortex, which lies between the land of water and the country of fire, has fallen, a vacuum of power has formed in this route.
The ninjas of the Land of Fire and the Land of Water are only facing each other from afar, but they have no strength to clean up the pirates in their path.
Under such circumstances, many small merchant groups had to join forces and jointly fund the hiring of a large number of escorts in order to cross the sea safely.
Of course, the vast majority of the hired guards are samurai and onmyoji, and only a very small number are ninjas.
For businessmen who have to pay for baht, this kind of "mix-and-match" type of employment is obviously more to their liking.
After a while, Shui Wuyueqi and the three of them arrived at their destination, a caravan that was about to set off and was composed of more than ten small merchant groups.
At this time, the three of them had already undergone disappearance, and they looked like just three ordinary wandering professionals.
After getting on the boat, Shui Wuyue Kai walked forward with the flow of people, and said quietly: "Yayoi, this time you borrowed the light of me and Ruri to get this mission, remember to repay us." ”
Yayoi snorted and whispered, "Didn't you get on the ship with the light of the glass, what's so spirited! Didn't you hear their whispers, I've never seen such a weak onmyoji as you." ”
Liuli whispered on the side: "Everything I have belongs to the master." ”
Yayoi's eyes widened, and he said, "I didn't expect you to hook up with someone but have a hand, you ......"
As she spoke, Yayoi suddenly turned her head and looked over at the caravan.
Liuli also made the same movement, staring at that side at this time.
Only Shui Wuyueqi still didn't seem to notice anything, and still continued to move forward with the flow of people.
At the end of Ruri and Yayoi's gaze, a middle-aged man was holding a little girl's hand and walking forward.
Suddenly, he felt the little girl's hand trembling a little, looked down, and found that the little girl was bowing her head tightly, and her whole body was trembling faintly.
Squatting down, the middle-aged man asked in a soft voice, "Miss, are you uncomfortable?"
Ghost Lantern Huali's eyes changed sharply, and finally, he raised his head and said sweetly to the middle-aged man: "Uncle, I suddenly don't want to get on the ship, I'll take a caravan and set off." ”
The middle-aged man was stunned, and he had already realized that something was wrong. But he is just a small host of the peripheral forces of the Ghost Lantern Clan, in fact, he is just an ordinary person, and when he hears this adult say that he wants to get off the boat, he can only agree.
The middle-aged man called the apprentices of the two merchant groups and said, "You send my niece back to the city, so that you don't have to take part in this voyage." ”
Yayoi saw the other party's actions here, and chuckled, and the laughter immediately drifted strangely to the middle-aged man's ears.
The middle-aged man's eyes were slightly confused, and he immediately regained his clarity, his tone was a little unnatural, and he said word by word: "You...... Guys...... Give...... Small...... Sister...... Above...... Boat....... ”
The two of them were stunned, although they felt that the boss was not normal, but since the boss had already spoken, they could only say to the ghost lantern Huali: "Miss, please get on the boat." ”
Ghost Lantern Huali did not dare to resist in public, so she had to be semi-forcibly taken to the ship by the two apprentices.
A smile bloomed at the corner of Yayoi's mouth, and he looked at the ghost lantern Hanari who looked at him in horror, and said word by word, "You...... Guys...... Want...... Shine...... Look at...... Good...... Small...... Sister....... ”
As Yayoi's lips opened and closed, the middle-aged man also opened and closed his lips, saying the same thing in his mouth, which looked really terrifying and weird.
Ghost Lantern Huali didn't dare to look at it anymore, hurriedly lowered her head, and let others take her to the boat.
After a while, the two Yayoi found Shui Wuyue Qi and said to him with a smile, "I didn't expect her to fall into our hands again." ”
Shui Wuyue smiled at the corner of her mouth and said, "Probably this is the 'fated encounter'." ”
Then, the smile on the corner of Shui Wuyueqi's mouth was closed, and there was some inexplicable meaning in his tone, and he said, "However, the Ghost Lantern Clan didn't send ninjas to protect her, do you think the most dangerous way is the safest way?"
As he spoke, there was a shout from outside as the fleet set sail. After a few breaths, the hull of the ship was slightly for a while, and the ship where Shui Wuyue Qi and the others were slowly sailed into the sea, slowly moving towards the distance.
