Chapter 359: Feather Man
The Feathered People are a free and open race. Those wings allow them to stand taller and see farther. This gives them a clear understanding of the vastness of heaven and earth. Since childhood, their eyes have often stayed at the end of heaven and earth, curious about what makes heaven and earth gradually become a line.
Because of curiosity, many feather people like to travel far away, like to communicate with people, and brag about their experiences, and "Rachel" is a leader in this regard.
Rachel hasn't actually traveled much, but he has a father who doesn't care about his family, but he is well-informed. For the Feather People group, it is really nothing to be well-informed, so it is difficult for Rachel's father to maintain an advantage in bragging. So, he turned his boast to his son, Rachel.
Rachel inherited all of her father's virtues, such as being "well-informed". Rachel hates her father's rhetoric the most, so she wants to get rid of that family, that person since she was a child.
For the feather people, this goal is not difficult to achieve, and it is good to flapp their wings and flee quickly when they become adults. As long as their parents can't catch up with them, it means that they have independent qualifications.
Years of bragging to his son made Rachel's father a little sluggish. He didn't realize that his son couldn't stand his incompetence anymore.
On a sunny morning, Rachel took care of her net worth, and then flew away from her father's eyes unhurriedly. With his father's "extensive knowledge" and the thrill of revenge, he was relaxed.
In the Floating Cloud Continent, the feather people don't worry about where to go, and there are too many people who want to travel far away. So Rachel began to wander around, just like his father.
He had traveled to many places, had seen the sacred mountain of the dragon, and had been to the mist-filled swamp that was full of fog all year round. He gradually became like his father, wanting to communicate with people and brag.
But the feather people around him are as well-informed as him, and they have been nurtured by their families since they were children. Two people who want to talk can't talk in one place......
But the group of people in front of me is different, this is a group of uninformed hillbillies. After a brief Q&A, the two-way conversation gradually turned into a one-sided narrative. People listened to Rachel's story in amazement, not with an exclamation. Gradually, the number of onlookers increased, and the distance became closer and closer......
"As for us, this time we are preparing to go to the Barren Continent. It was just a little wind and waves on the way, so it deviated slightly from course. We saw the shadow of the land from afar, and we wanted to come over and make some supplies. ”
An onlooker asked, "You are the best explorers just now, how can you get lost at sea?"
Rachel corrected, "It's not that I'm disoriented, it's a little bit out of the way because of an accident." You must have experienced sailors here, and you should know that many things are not something that can be resisted by manpower.
And we're entering this place for the first time, and we're still very new to this route. ”
"Bragging again, you just said that the whole world has the footprints of the Feather Man. ”
"It's different here, we wouldn't be in this barren land if we didn't have special circumstances. Rachel thought for a moment, "Kid, do you know magic?"
The little boy in front of him nodded seriously, "Know!"
Rachel gently spread the wings behind her back, "Wings provide us feathered people with the power to fly, but this is not relying on **, but magic." When the mana is exhausted, we can't stay in the air for long with the power of ** alone.
The wings are absorbing and storing magic all the time. We are able to maintain balance even when consuming and absorbing while flying, but this is not possible here. ”
Rachel flapped her wings to lift her body slightly off the ground, and when her body was stable again, she continued: "Just like this, flying with ** is completely different from relying on magic power. Without the support of magic, it will be very difficult to fly. ”
The little boy was a little envious, "I really want to go out and see you." ”
Rachel shook her head, "The outside world is too dangerous for you, and many of the creatures that work with magic are too strong for you to handle.
Before we entered the open sea, we encountered an octopus that could drag a small boat with one of its brachial legs. And there are many more creatures like this, and you will only become food for them. ”
"We have the Great Wizard! one person can deal with them all. The little boy was unconvinced.
"Oh?" Rachel was interested, and he motioned for the boy to continue.
It's a pity that the little boy only stammered for a long time before he squeezed out a sentence, "Anyway, it's very powerful, very powerful." ”
Rachel ** the little boy, "Bragging, huh?"
"No! The demons who were stronger than us were all killed by him just because they cut down his banner. ”
Rachel pouted, "If I wanted to, I could kill them all." ”
"Bragging, you can't kill tens of thousands of people in one go. ”
Rachel was slightly stunned, "Tens of thousands?"
The child made an exaggerated gesture, "Well, tens of thousands of people were pinched to death by him as soon as he raised his hand." ”
Rachel blinked, a little stunned.
Joey, who was on the side, interjected, "We have only heard of children's nonsense. No one had actually seen him here, and he didn't live on the continent. ”
Rachel nodded of course, "The place where he lives must be very rich." If it's convenient, can you tell him a story?"
Listening to the brief introduction in her ear, Rachel tried to piece together the image of the Great Wizard and estimate his level of power. Looking at the few clansmen wandering around the harbor not far away, Rachel couldn't help but frown.
He had only come for a lucrative commission to make a simple exploration of the place and find a safe and secure sea route. The other side provided ships and even some manpower for this purpose.
But when she heard the rumors of the Great Wizard, Rachel felt that things might not be so simple. According to the description, the great wizard here is probably close to the top existence of the clan, Skywalker.
Moreover, the residence of the great wizard turned out to be the same as his own destination - the Barren Continent, could there be such a coincidence in this world?
Rachel didn't want to get involved in this level of trouble, and while facing a Skywalker would be the most braggadocio thing in his life, he wouldn't take that risk just to have something to brag about.
So he began to think of a way out, but it was not easy. The feather people are a race that values personal credibility, and since he accepted this commission, he can't break the contract halfway.
Rachel looked at Joey beside her and asked, "Do you accept the hire?"
Joey was stunned, "What?"
"Do you accept the hiring? I want to hire someone who is familiar with the sea routes here, and will bring him back on the way back. Looking into Joey's distrustful eyes, Rachel added, "To reassure you, I'll pay you early." ”
