Chapter 3 Human Towns
Of course, Blade didn't swagger out, and it was still easy for a child to go out like this after all.
In the face of the unknown, it is better to be careful.
So now he is playing the role of a child who is a little scared after getting lost with adults. He had to tear his clothes and get dirty, and he had to put dirt on his face, and the spear was to be thrown away, but the dagger was to be had.
After some elaborate grooming, Blade begins to self-hypnosis.
"I got separated from my adult, and now I'm so scared of ......"
Through self-hypnosis, he can better play a panicked child.
When he was ready, Blade ran out of the forest in a hurry. There was a look of panic on his face, and a joy that was hard to hide.
The tall guards, of course, noticed the movement, but they weren't overly vigilant, the visitor was just a child.
A man in heavy armor with a sword at his waist looked at the bloody dagger in the blade's small hand for a moment. Then he took a few steps forward and said, "Child, where are the adults in your family?" ”
His voice was deep and powerful, and it seemed to be the one who had just spoken.
Blade said with some fear: "Go, I'm separated." ”
This answer did not come out of the man's expectations. Although this Soul Hunting Forest is relatively safe, these things still happen occasionally.
The man nodded and said, "Go home." ”
Blade seemed to want to say something, but as if he remembered something, he hesitated a few times but didn't speak.
Blade walked out with his head down......
The man sighed slightly, the child might have wanted to ask them for help finding his family or teacher. However, the Wuhun Hall clearly stipulates that no one is allowed to meddle in these matters.
Besides, the Soul Hunting Forest is not small, and it is not safe, so I can't help it if I want to.
When he left the field of view of the guards behind him, Blade smiled, "Nice guy." ”
Thinking of his teary-eyed appearance just now, he couldn't help but smile.
Looking at the sky, just after noon, the sun was still like fire.
"It's not as cool as it is in this forest."
Blade was now heading to the city in front of him, where he could only see a rough outline, and he was going to inspect the local customs.
As he walked along the way, Blade came across a group of people heading to the Soul Hunting Forest. During the encounter, several adults sighed slightly, while the children were just curious.
Ignoring the curious or sympathetic gazes, Blade nodded politely to the group before moving on.
"Father, what's wrong with that brother, it's in tatters and dirty."
A bearded man sighed slightly, rubbed the little girl's hair, and did not answer.
"Ling'er, wait a minute, don't leave my side."
The little girl's head tilted slightly, and she looked at the little brother who left with some absent-mindedness.
······
This path leads to the entrance of the Soul Hunting Forest, and there are not many people coming in and out.
It didn't take long for Blade to reach the main road.
The road is very open, and even the road is paved with marble slabs, and from time to time you can see horse-drawn carriages coming and going, which is very lively.
Blade glanced at his destination, as if it was a little far away······
He wanted to stop a carriage. However, the thought of himself as he was now dispelled that thought. I don't look much better than a beggar now, who will stop?
Or don't waste any more time.
Just then, Blade heard a long "whoop".
A carriage stopped beside Blade.
The carriage is not the kind of opulent type, or it is a very ordinary horse-drawn carriage, unpretentious.
The coachman was an old man with a stiff face, who did not seem to be a good talker. The average child will probably be so frightened that he can't speak.
But Blade wasn't frightened, and he looked at the old man in some surprise.
The old man's face was stiff and unkind, but his eyes were unusually clear, like a child, but different, compared to a child, he had a light called wisdom in his eyes.
The old man's name knife six.
He was also a little surprised that the child did not show horror at the sight of his face. This is the first time.
He said, "Child, why is it here alone, and the adults in the family?" ”
Blade seemed to hesitate for a moment before saying, "Scattered in the Soul Hunting Forest." ”
A hint of pity appeared in the old man's stiff expression, this kid ·····
"Kid, do you live in Soto City?"
Blade nodded.
The old man said softly: "Child, no matter what happens, let's get in the car first." I'll take you into the city, and you'll go home and tell you well. ”
Such a mild tone should not have come from the mouth of this stiff-faced old man.
Blade hesitated for a moment and got into the car, and said to the old man sincerely, "Thank you." ”
The old man waved his hand disappreciatively: "It's okay, they are all on the same road, and it's not bad for you to be a hundred pounds." ”
The old man waved his whip and shouted, "Drive! ”
Along the way, the old man didn't have too many words, let alone ask long and short questions, but just comforted the blade from time to time for a word or two.
The old man's driving skills were so good that the blade didn't feel too many ups and downs.
In the blink of an eye, I arrived at the city gate, and the first feeling of the blade was "quite magnificent", and the second feeling was that this was a strong city.
I entered the city very smoothly, and the cars in the city came and went, so it was not lively.
Blade said to the old man: "Uncle, I'll just get off here, it's not a few steps away from home." ”
The old man nodded, drove the car to the side, and stopped.
Blade jumped out of the car and gave the old man a serious hand: "Thank you." ”
The old man's hard face had an embarrassed smile, and he hurriedly waved his hand: "It's just a trivial matter." ”
After a pause, the old man continued; "Son, be strong no matter what."
Blade smiled and nodded, "You don't have to worry about me, I'm strong." ”
The old man smiled: "You kid, go home, I'm going to pull the goods to deliver it too." ”
Blade smiled, "I hope you are doing well." ”
The old man laughed: "Let's go!" ”
The old man waved his whip: "Drive!" A thud merged into the traffic.
Blade waved his hand to see the old man away, and then smiled: "It's lucky to meet such a lovely old man." ”
The next thing Blade has to do is take a shower and change into decent clothes.
Along the way, his return rate has exceeded 100%, and he doesn't care.
Blade observes his surroundings along the way. There were a lot of good-looking restaurants on the side of the road, but now he was not hungry, and just now in the carriage the old man stuffed him with a large cake with an unknown name, which contained a large slice of meat, and the whole cake had to be more than a catty. It should be the old man's lunch.
The old man has a good appetite.
Eventually, I stopped in front of a good-looking clothing store and entered.
It may be that the time is not right, and there are no customers in the store.
There were only two young women inside, who looked somewhat similar, and they were both very delicate.
One was banging and smacking, counting something, and the other was drowsy with his chin propped up.
The woman who was tapping on the abacus with her head down noticed the arrival of the blade, and she didn't raise her head, but said softly, "Ami, a guest is here." ”
"Huh?"
The woman was startled, her hand loosened, and her whole pretty face almost slammed on the table.
The woman named Ami hurriedly adjusted her state. When I looked up, I saw a child in nondescript clothes, tattered clothes, and a dirty face looking at her with a smile. She was a little surprised, and a little embarrassed.
Blade smiled and said, "Hello, I want to buy clothes." ”
Legend has it that the situation of the dog looking down on people does not happen, they all open the door to do business, and there is no reason to drive the guests out for no reason.
The woman who bowed her head heard the young voice of Blade, glanced up, was a little surprised by the image of Blade, and then lowered her head and continued to knock on the plate.
Ami looked at the boy and said curiously, "Didn't you come with your family?" ”
She didn't mean anything else.
Blade smiled: "Just me, don't worry, with money." ”
Ami really didn't mean that, she just asked casually, but she didn't expect to be misunderstood.
She waved her hand in a bit of a panic: "I didn't mean that!··· Forget it, you want ready-made, right? ”
Blade nodded, walked directly to a hanger in the corner and pointed at one of the white samurai suits, "That's it, three sets." ”
Ali walked over to the blade, expecting to smell something terrible. But no, there was no taste at all.
It looks dirty, why doesn't it smell at all?
Ami looked at the costume that Blade was pointing at and said, "Guest, are you sure you don't think about it anymore?" ”
Blade smiled, "Thanks for the reminder, but that's it, I trust my gaze." ”
Ami picked up her clothes wherever she went, looked at the blade again, and found that it did fit perfectly.
Surprised, this kid is so powerful?
Ami said, "Wait for me to get the clothes." Then he went into the storage room.
Blade walked over to the counter and waited, and when Ami wrapped the three sets of clothes in front of him, Blade placed the three Golden Soul Coins on the table.
The clothes in this store are clearly priced, which also saves the effort of haggling.
After seeing Ami put away the Golden Soul Coins, Blade also picked up the bag and prepared to leave.
Ami hurriedly said, "Welcome to come back next time." ”
Blade smiled and said, "Okay." ”
Strode out of the shop.
"Sister, this kid is not simple!"
"Oh."
"It's too perfunctory!"
·······
Now Blade is going to find an inn to stay in first, take a shower, change his outfit, and take his time with the rest.
On the way, he saw some strange phenomena, some strange guys inexplicably conjured up some inexplicable things.
Blade was puzzled: "There are no spatial fluctuations, it's not taken out of the storage, and it's not a summon, how can it be done?" ”
Doubts grew.
But he's not in a hurry, now he doesn't have much but time.
Blade walked to the door of a chic-looking inn with the words "Rose Hotel" written on it, magnificent.
He heard that the inn here is not called an inn, but a hotel.
Whatever it is, it's all the same, as long as it can live in people.
Blade walked all the way, and probably knew the prices here.
Thinking about the hundred or so Golden Soul Coins in his hand, he felt that he should be able to live better.
Let's enjoy a little bit of luxury!
