Chapter 17: Followers?
In the territory of the elves, the humans who have been fleeing for their lives have finally been given enough rest and supplies. On the road again, everyone regained their energy, and this was reflected in the speed of the journey, which took only two days to complete the journey at the feet of the eager people.
Demon hunter Gang Ze also began to teach Xu Yichen on the way, from the history of basic demon hunters to the code of conduct of demon hunters, common man-eating beasts, demonized creatures, and non-human races in the Far South.
Although he was in a hurry, Xu Yichen's learning did not stop for a moment, in order to accommodate the pace of mortals, the old and new demon hunters slowed down their pace, bringing enough convenience to their teaching. The wounded Sildo, who had been riding on the white wolf, also approached the two of them and listened carefully to Gang Ze's explanation, and after finding that the demon hunter didn't care, he followed behind Xu Yichen openly, listening carefully to the knowledge that seemed to him to be a myth and legend.
When camping, the sailors would take care of everything as a way to comfort Ted and them. Sir Gangze will take his apprentice away from everyone and take advantage of this time to teach Xu Yichen some experience of demon hunters about the magic seal, as well as some unique knowledge of alchemy and herbology. During the night, the old captain would talk to each of the sailors individually, and after talking to Sildo, the sad old captain sighed and went into his tent.
Xu Yichen didn't have time to pay attention to all this, because he was browsing his character panel.

Finally, on the evening of the second day after departure, the group saw the walls of Antonio Harbour.
The Great Port of Antonio was the largest concentration of human beings in the area and one of the first port cities to be established when the Far South colonies were reclaimed. If he hadn't encountered the storm, Xu Yichen would have arrived here on Captain Rockfair's ship and officially started his gaming career.
Viscount Antony, one of the first pioneer nobles to set foot in the Far South, and his knights crossed the ocean from France to establish Fort Antonine in this barren land. Later, because it was the largest deep-water port in the northern part of the Far South, ships from all over the world would choose it first, and gradually the fortress became a town, known as the Great Port of Antony, and Viscount Anthony became Count Anthony.
Five years ago, when the ambitious Earl Anthony was about to expand his territory, he ran into the greenskins who had also arrived in the New World through obstacles, and was crushed to pieces by this group of berserkers in the northern tundra.
With the death of the old count, the young Antony II Jr. inherited the title and became the new owner of the city. However, the ten-year-old Count was unable to manage the city's intricacies, and many of the old Earl's knights left the area, taking risk-taking colonists in pursuit of more land and wealth.
Just like the camp of Rogue where Ted and the others lived before, it was a simple village built by the knight Rogue who had unfortunately died. Such villages and camps, scattered scattered in the jungle, large or small, developed within a few years thanks to the great port of Antony.
With the arrival of Anthony Port, the Ted, who learned that Camp Rog had been destroyed, began to say goodbye to everyone and went to find the refugee gathering place in Camp Rog.
"I'll lead them out of this predicament and rebuild Camp Rog!" The bearded Ted looked a little uplifted as he spoke: "When the time comes, I look forward to seeing you again, and I will entertain you with the best beer!" Especially you, brave Xu, if you need any help, don't forget me, I'm always ready to fight for you! β
hugged everyone one by one, even the demon hunter Gangze did not refuse this man in the mountains and forests, and Ted left the team with two of his subordinates in great stride.
Watching Ted and them walk away, the old captain also said to Xu Yichen and the demon hunter, "Then, it's time to say goodbye, brave Seris, and respected demon hunter, your presence makes me ashamed of the rumors I heard about the demon hunter before. β
Captain Rockefeller gracefully apologized to the two men and said to his sailors, "You can leave now, and I will submit a written certificate to the Maritime Association and take all responsibility." β
Several sailors exchanged glances with each other in silence, trying to say something, but before they could speak, they were interrupted by the old captain: "Needless to say, I am old, and it is time to say goodbye to the sea and go back to accompany my family." Even if you collectively prove that the ship was shipwrecked in a storm, no one will hire a captain who has abandoned his ship. β
Xu Yichen didn't know what was going on, so he asked the captain: "What's the trouble, captain?" Is there a place I can help?"
Captain Rockefeller answered his question with a hint of sadness: "Our ship was caught in a storm less than thirty nautical miles from the shoreline, and despite the best efforts, it eventually ran aground and sank. Although it was a storm, it was so close to the coastline that it was unreasonable and no one would believe it. Rather than bear the dishonorable accusation of lying, it is better to take all the responsibility, and for the sake of my work for so many years, the shipowner will not be too harsh on me. β
Xu Yichen nodded awkwardly, this crooked wind can't be made by the system in order to arrange for him to take on the task...
"I do need your help with something, I'm really sorry, I can't repay you for saving your life, and I want to trouble you." Captain Rockefil glanced at little Syldo next to him with a nervous face: "Syldo, after so many things, he wants to follow you and become your squire." β
"Clams?" Xu Yichen looked at his character panel and a system prompt popped up: "An NPC character, admiring your bravery and hoping to become your follower, do you agree?" β
