After listening to Kester's answer, He Lilan was silent for a while: "Okay, let's not talk about this, Brother Ye, where do you plan to go next?" ”

Kester showed a sour smile: "I have long been homeless, and the last relatives have also been buried by my own hands. Pen, Fun, Pavilion www.biquge.info Maybe I'll have to wander all over the world in the future. Speaking of this, Kester paused again, revealing a look of confusion: "Although I also think about revenge all the time, I can't seem to do anything. ”

"Why don't you go with us as Brother Ye?" He Lilan invited Kester, "In the past, my father met Lord Bal, the Marquis of the Sea Clan, who was also the eighth prince of Acewell, in the mercenary city of Lyle, in the northwest. It is said that the Marquis de Barr will return to the city of Lyre in a little more than a month to pay respects to his father, and if we go to him, he will not refuse. ”

"Sea Clan?" Kester frowned, and said in his heart that he really didn't want to rely on any of the six clans right now. Kester shook his head: "No, I have no plans to defect to others at the moment. However, when he saw the disappointment in He Lilan's eyes and He Ling'er's expectant eyes, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart: "But be a good person to the end, with your current situation, it will be difficult to get there safely, I can protect you to go to Bal City." ”

"Oh yes, thank you, Brother Yun!" He Ling'er cheered.

"Brother Ye not only saved our lives, but also was willing to protect us on the road, this great kindness and great virtue He Lilan is unforgettable." He Lilan said solemnly.

"Okay, no need to say more polite words, let's get ready and we'll hit the road," Kester, who had made the decision, was unambiguous, "Lilan, do you have a hydration bag?" I left in a hurry without water. ”

"Yes, yes," He Lilan smiled bitterly and took out a shriveled water bag from his waist, "But we have also been out of water for more than a day." ”

"It's okay, look at me." Thankfully, during his previous journey with the mercenaries, Kester had learned a lot that he had never known before, and he took the empty water bag, found a bush with white leaves around it, and cut it in the bark with his long sword. Although his enchanted longsword was not a high-end product, it was still easy and stress-free to cut the bark of a tree, but when he saw a flash of sword light, there was a deep hole in the dry bark of the bush, and pale green juice slowly flowed out from the gap.

"Huh? What is it? He Lilan leaned her head curiously and asked.

"This shrub is called the Whiteleaf Pond," Kester patiently explains, "and its root system is very well developed, and the water content of its branches is particularly high, which is not uncommon in the desert, and can be used for emergency relief." ”

"Wow, Brother Yun is so powerful, I know this." He Ling'er's eyes were as big as two bells.

"I also learned it from other mercenaries not long ago," Kester was a little embarrassed by He Ling'er's praise, he picked up the water bag filled with juice in his hand, lifted it and shook it, "Lilan, Ling'er, are you thirsty?" ”

picked up the bag and poured two sips, He Lilan's expression became a little exciting, but probably because of the foreshadowing made by Kester's roasted whole carving before, He Lilan still restrained his desire to vomit: "Brother Ye, this taste..."

Kester laughed: "Although this juice is a little bitter and smelly, it is absolutely healthy." Speaking of this, he paused again: "The senior who taught me this said: 'If a mercenary is about to be eaten by a demonic beast, it will not matter if the drug is addictive; When you are dying of thirst, you don't care about the taste of water; If he starves to death and cares about the hygiene of food, then he will still die. Isn't that the right phrase for us now? ”

Hearing Kester say this, He Lilan couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, as if the weird taste in his mouth was not so obvious, yes, survival is the most important thing!

There is no need to say much about He Ling'er's full drink, compared to her brother He Lilan, He Ling'er mustered up the courage to drink the sap. You must know that if it were normal, with her eldest lady's temper, she would never touch this thing.

Eventually, the three of them set out on the road with a bag full of strange sap and a half-roasted, half-baked and half-baked gale, no, there was no road at all, and Kester could barely lead the way in front of him according to the method he had learned from the mercenaries before.

The time on the road seemed short, and as the sky darkened, Kester knew it was time for them to rest. Although all three were exhausted, their instincts told Kester that they hadn't gone far.

"Looks like we're going to have to speed things up." Kester thought silently. As he thought about it, he lit a fire and roasted the remaining gale sculptures again. The strange smell of barbecue permeated the air, but there was nothing the three of them could do about it, and none of them could cook, both of whom were from aristocratic backgrounds. All three of them could only bite the unpalatable dinner, and barely padded their stomachs by drinking the stinking tree sap.

"Lilan, we have to take turns keeping vigil," after all, when he was alone before, Kester didn't have a choice, and now it's a threesome, and it's not okay to have a vigil, "Let's arrange it like this......"

That night there was no word, and the next day, after a little rectification, they continued on their way. In this way, after three days, Kester noticed that the surrounding bushes and weeds had become less and less. "Maybe it's almost desert, it's a real problem, if we don't prepare, we may have to take a detour." Kester thought helplessly.

But just as Kester was about to change course, a turning point came.

It was already the evening of the fourth day, and seeing that the sun was about to set again, He Ling'er complained bitterly: "Oh, it's going to be dark, and we're going to sleep in the wild again." The demon insects here bite me all over my body every night. ”

Kester also has a hard time to say, as a wing clan who doesn't walk often, shoes and other things are really the most easily ignored part of usually. Kester's soles were worn out, and the sand had made a large blister of blood on the bottom of his foot.

"Brother Ye, there is a road ahead!" He Lilan, who was walking in front, suddenly shouted excitedly, "If there is a road, it means that there are people nearby who often come and go." ”

Kester stepped forward with an arrow, and an inconspicuous dirt road leaped into view. He looked into the distance in the direction of the road and was pleasantly surprised to find a trace of cooking smoke rising in the sky.

"There's smoke, and there may be people living there, at least travelers like us!" He Lilan's mind became active, after all, a few days of rushing had consumed the gale carving meat in their hands, and the rest was about to deteriorate. If you can't meet anyone else, I'm afraid all three of them will go hungry.

"It's better to be careful, don't run into thieves," Kester was calmer after all, "let's take a closer look." ”

With the goal in mind, the group walked forward with all their might, and finally half an hour later, they climbed a mound, and the scene before them made all three of them shine.

The sunset was only half a face, and the sunset reflected the sky in a bright red, and finally there were no more shrubs and grasses in front of them, but an endless desert, which met the sky in the distance. In the middle of nowhere, a small village stands lonely on the edge of the desert. The earth-colored walls look a little old, but they have a touch of desolation. The smell of barbecue wafted in, not the dark cuisine made by Kester, but the real original desert atmosphere. A burst of flute sounds floated in, without the desolation of soft intestines, but with a unique heroic feeling.

"What are you doing in a daze, let's go before the sun goes down." After a while, Kester was the first to come back to his senses.

"Oh, rush~~ But it's really beautiful..."He Ling'er pulled He Lilan and ran forward, but left Kester behind.

The village is a little dilapidated, perhaps because many of the villagers can't stand the torture of poverty. Many of the buildings were stained with blood-red tooth marks, which Kester knew were left behind by the Bloodtooth Silver Wolf after the attack on the village. But at the moment, he didn't care to observe so much, after all, there was one most important thing in front of him: "accommodation".

The inn was not hard to find, as there was only one shop in the whole village, and when Kester and his party reached the door, the owner was nailing wooden planks to the door.

The attentive boss didn't notice them, He Ling'er quickly ran to the boss's side and shouted, "Boss, business is coming!" ”

The shopkeeper was startled and hammered a hammer into his hand: "Oh mom, whose bear child is it." ”

Seeing that He Ling'er was in trouble, Kester had to step forward and say, "Boss, we live in a hotel." ”

"You are... Outlander? Looking at the boys and girls in front of him, the boss's eyes were a little weird, "Are the current adventurers coming out at such a young age?" ”

"Uh, boss, we're staying in a hotel..."Seeing that the other party didn't get to the point, Kester had to repeat it.

"One silver coin in the upper room, and 30 copper coins in the ordinary room." The boss came back to his senses, he put away his suspicious eyes and said, "Eat it, but only the white flour ground in Tata Valley, and the rest will have to be added." ”

"Let's have two upper rooms. By the way, help us prepare dinner. Kester looked at He Lilan, and after the latter rummaged through his empty pockets, he had to take out two silver coins from his waist and hand them to the boss.

"Okay, please!" The boss who got the silver coin changed his expression almost immediately, and his hoisted look made Kester wonder if he was a variant of the Demon Dog.

In fact, it is true that the business of the small village is too bad, as the only hotel, the boss belongs to the bitter haha who has eaten the last meal and has not eaten the next meal, and it is rare to come to a God of Wealth, of course, to provide for it.

After dinner, the He Lilan brothers and sisters went to rest early, needless to say about the fatigue of the journey, after a rare normal dinner, the brothers and sisters fell asleep quickly. Kester lay in bed for a long time and couldn't sleep, so much had happened these days, and he deeply felt that he seemed so powerless in the face of fate.

"Boss, have a jug of wine!" The breeze blew the young man's hairline, and the stomach was even more sad under the glass of wine, and under the bright moonlight, Kester's figure was stretched very long...
