Chapter VII First Entrustment

Yesterday summer, I was hungry, sleepy and ridiculed, and I was in a very bad mood, and I didn't like anyone.

Today, I slept soundly, ate well, and was in a good mood, so I naturally had a little more tolerance.

"I only have a hundred, what boat can I take?" Summer continued to ask.

Hearing that it was only one hundred, the busy conductor began to brew anger, and when he looked up, he saw that it was a thirteen or fourteen-year-old child, so he didn't scold.

Thinking about whether he was being teased by a child, he glanced left and right, as if he had found something interesting, and the conductor said:

"See, that birdman, you give him a hundred and let him fly you over."

The conductor pointed to the winged man not far away.

Winged? It's supposed to be a winged man, right?

I've heard that they are indeed very capable of flying, and can even fly from the ground to the empty island, but will they really be willing to take me to Sinnoh?

Summer muttered to herself and left the ticket office suspiciously, completely oblivious to the eerie smile behind her.

These wandering wingmen are usually the descendants of the wingmen who have been kicked out for violating the rules of the clan, and are often referred to by some as the insulting name of birdmen.

How can Summer understand this, he really believed in the wickedness of the conductor and came to the winged people.

"Can you take me to Sinnoh, please? I can pay you a hundred energy. ”

The wandering wingmen usually work with the airship and are also carrying cargo at this time.

Summer wasn't the first person to joke with him like this, and probably won't be the last.

They humans think it's a joke, and we people think it's an insult.

Without strength and the protection of his family, he didn't dare to resist, so he had to lower his head and resist the goods as if he didn't hear it.

Summer wanted to continue pleading, but was grabbed by a soft hand.

"I'm sorry, this is my friend, he just went out, and he doesn't know much."

Sweet voice, Chen Ken bowed and apologized.

Counter sister?

Summer's impression of the counter lady is still quite good, and she apologized along with the confusion.

"It's fine."

Seeing Ning Ning, the luster in the winged people's eyes brightened a little, and the corners of his mouth were a little dry and curved, and then he continued to walk towards the airship with the goods, too inferior to dare to talk to others.

The winged man left, and Summer looked at Ning Ning with questions, not knowing what he had done wrong.

"How can you make that joke on the Wingman?" Ning Ning was a little angry and frowned.

The Demon Hunting Guild is open all day, and Ning Ning is on duty all night, and her eyebrows and eyes are full of exhaustion.

"The conductor said I only had enough money for the Wingman to carry me."

Summer pointed to the ticket office, and the conductor still wanted to say hello to Ning Ning, but he was glared at fiercely, and hurriedly buried his head and pretended not to know anything.

Looking at the winged man in the distance, Ning Ning's eyes were full of pity:

"These wandering wingers are quite pitiful, most of them have problems with their wings, and they can't fly far at all, so they work as boatmen."

Summer has always felt that something is wrong, and it was broken by Ning Ning, and it suddenly understood.

"Got it, Sister Counter." Summer nodded apologetically.

Ning Ning had a teachable expression, but she didn't seem to be very satisfied with the title of sister at the counter.

"Just call me Ning Ning, I'll be a year older than you!"

The age may be only one year old, but no matter how you look at the figure, there is a difference of three or four years.

"Hmm."

Summer replied softly, and her mind began to wonder where she could earn enough money to buy a ferry ticket.

Energy is a common currency, which can be earned by working part-time, but it is estimated that you have to wash the dishes for several days in a row to collect the money for the ferry ticket.

As if seeing the predicament at the moment, Ning Ning patted Summer's shoulder and said:

"You wait here for me for a moment."

Ning Ning ran in the direction of the cargo ship and said something to an elderly man in a captain's coat, with a coquettish little gesture.

The old captain smiled helplessly, looked at Summer's side, and nodded.

Ning Ning bowed happily and thanked him, and then waved while running back, signaling Summer to come over quickly.

The two met at the intersection of two spotted roads, and Ning Ning raised her thin eyebrows and said:

"Okay, you're in charge of protecting the ship to Sinnoh, not only is it free, but you'll also be paid a small amount for completing the commission."

Xia didn't agree immediately, looked at Ning Ning and asked, "Why are you helping me." ”

Being stared at by a pair of pure eyes, Ning Ning was inexplicably a little embarrassed, put her eyes away, put her hand against her chin, thought about it, and suddenly said with a playful smile:

"Because you're good-looking!"

I've always been ridiculed for being short in the past, but this is the first time I've been complimented?

In the summer, I don't know which level of boys is good-looking, but Ning Ning's smile is really comfortable, refreshing like the sun, and giving people a warm feeling.

"Just kidding, remember to be careful." Ning Ning reached out and pinched Summer's cheek, then yawned to indicate that she had to go back to sleep.

"Hmm. Thank you sister counter. Looking at the distant back, Summer rubbed her pinched cheeks, but still couldn't change the title.

A pair of hands waved in front of Summer's eyes.

"Hey, boy, everyone is far away, it's time to get down to business."

The old captain's somewhat hoarse voice drew Summer's gaze.

"You're the kid who beat the lone wolf yesterday, right?"

Although he didn't see it with his own eyes, the news that the lone wolf was defeated by a little imp spread throughout the town early in the morning.

"It should be!" Summer nodded.

"Since Ning Ning recommended you, I will believe you and accept the commission!"

The old captain put away his long sleeves, revealing the merchant's bracelet, and the white light flashed, and a message came to Summer's mind.

"Someone issued a mission to escort the Sailing to Sinnoh Island, with a reward of three hundred energy."

Concise message, Summer did not hesitate to accept it, and at the same time the old captain's self-talk came to his ears:

"I have to let my grandson work harder, I can't let a good girl like Ning Ning fall into the hands of others!"

Summer didn't quite understand what the old captain meant, but responded quite approvingly:

"Sister Ning Ning is indeed a good person."

"The boat is still half an hour away." After confirming the task, the old captain pointed to the bell tower in the distance, and admonished, "You'd better go and prepare some food first, we don't have to eat it." ”

"Food?"

"Well, half a month's journey, although it is also sold on the ship, but that price is not cheap."

Faced with the doubts of summer, the old captain continued to explain: "Don't buy too much, it's easy to spoil, just enough to eat for a few days, and you can buy it again at other airports." ”

Bread can generally be stored for half a month, but it will become hard and affect the taste.

Thanks to the reminder of the old captain, the summer spent almost half of his fortune on a large bag of bread and boarded the Sail before the whistle.

There are not many cargo, and these old cargo ships have long been converted into cheap passenger ships, but there are no separate rooms and beds. Those who have bought tickets can rest in the cargo hold, and the crew who is free of charge and carries goods like summer can only sleep on the deck.

In the summer, I found a position close to the side of the ship with bread in my arms, and there was a wooden support for the mast at the back, which was a temporary shelter for this half moon.
