Chapter 12: Handy Rescue
โyes๏ผ It's Yui who wins! Yui said in a triumphant posture at the gate of Rennes Village to Qin Xun and the others who were still chasing him
"Cut, if I didn't let you, how could you win," Qin Xun said with an unconvinced expression
"What, it's just that you're still quibbling here if you lose, stupid brother" Yui looked at Qin Xun with disdain
"Yui and the seniors are really, no matter what little things can quarrel," Hibiscus said with a helpless shake of his head
"You know what a fool, this is a major event related to my status and face as an elder brother," Qin Xun said proudly
"That's it, it's a battle of status between brother and sister, but in the end, it seems that Miss Ben and I are the better one," Yui said with a smile
"It's only this kind of time when the two of them are really on the same page, hahahaha," Uncle Mu patted Mu Hibiscus on the shoulder and said
"Alas, every time I persuade a fight, I will be scolded" Hibiscus was speechless
"It's Rennes Village in front, let's go in and rest for a while, and then we're going to continue our journey," Qin Xun said, and walked towards Rennes Village
"Stop, what are you doing!" The two guards at the gate of Rennes Village brandished spears and stopped Qin Xun and the others and said
"Now, we are travelers from Karn Village, this is proof of our travels," Qin Xun said, taking out a brown name tag from his pocket and handing it to the guard
"Are you all in this together?" The guard returned the card to Qin Xun and asked, looking at Yui and the others
"Yes, we are in this together," Qin Xun politely answered the guard's question
"Is that so? You'd better be careful when you leave, a large number of subhumans have suddenly appeared near the village recently, attacking humans and wild animals in the past, so our village is so vigilant," the guard put away the spear that was blocking Qin Xun and the others and said
"Thanks for reminding us, we'll be careful" Qin Xun walked into the village after thanking the guards
"They're adventurers," said one of the guards
"Looks like Count Ivan asked the group to find," replied the other guard
"I really don't understand why Count Ivan is looking for such a dangerous person. Just in time for this time period, if the group of adventurers makes any mess in the city, it will be really difficult to deal with," the guard said as he looked at the backs of Qin Xun and the others
A tavern in Rennes Village
"Hello, how can I help you?"
"I want an adult set A, plus a strawberry cake," Qin Xun said as he looked at the menu in his hand
"That Yui's words are the same as my brother's," Yui smiled and looked at Qin Xun, who was sitting lazily on the side, but did not speak
"Isn't Yui not fond of strawberry cake?" Qin Xun sat up from his chair with a questioning expression
"It's for the big brother, hehe," Yui stuck out her tongue at Qin Xun and said shyly
Qin Xun's cheeks flushed slightly, and he didn't know when that familiar feeling suddenly attacked Qin Xun again, and soon swept through Qin Xun's whole body
"You two guys, hahaha" Uncle Mu took a big gulp of the mead on the side, and Mu Hibiscus also looked at the two in front of him with envy
"Okay, let's hurry up and eat, we have to hurry up in the afternoon," Yui said as she pushed the strawberry cake she brought to Qin Xun
"Uncle, drink less, or I'll have to drag you over when I'm on my way in the afternoon," Qin Xun said disgustedly as he snatched the wine glass from Uncle Mu's hand
Time passed little by little with the crowd on the street, Qin Xun and the others walked out of the tavern in the afternoon, the temperature gradually rose, the sun sprinkled on the earth brought warmth to every corner of the earth, the breeze gently brushed people's skin, and sleepiness gradually swept people's whole body
"This is the breath of spring, it's really comfortable," Yui said, leaning on Qin Xun's shoulder
"Yes, spring is the season of revival of all things, and the reason why I like spring is because I think that spring, like light, is the beginning of hope and the beginning of all new things," Qin Xun said as he stroked Yui's head
"Spring is indeed a good season, there is no noise of summer, there is no loneliness of autumn, and there is no dead silence of winter," Hibiscus said with her hands behind her head and looking up at the pale blue sky with a look of enjoyment
"What about Uncle Mu, what season does Uncle like?" Yui asked curiously
"Well, I prefer the late summer and early autumn to the seasons," Uncle Mu replied
"Late summer and early autumn? It's such a strange time" Yui looked at Uncle Mu with a puzzled expression, her brown eyes constantly flashing with curiosity
"Because at that time, he was able to make high-quality wine, and this guy was a collector with a big wine cellar in real life," Qin Xun explained casually
"I see, that's amazing!" Yui seemed to be satisfied, like Uncle Mu cast an expression of adoration
"But then again, even though it's a village, whether it's Rennes Village or Karn Village, it's still very large, and it should be regarded as a large town," Qin Xun said as he looked at the various buildings in Rennes City
"It's better to call it a city than a village, Valguna has a total of 7 villages and a royal capital, the royal capital is located in the middle of these villages, and there is only one main line connecting these cities, although the Valguna kingdom is very large, but only these 8 cities are inhabited by humans," Hibiscus explained, pushing his glasses
"Is that so" Qin Xun nodded and said, although he had been living on the mainland in another way before, but no matter where he went, it was just a teleportation, and it was almost impossible to travel in person like this, just take this opportunity to get a good understanding of the world here, Qin Xun thought to himself
Qin Xun and the others chatted while hurrying, and soon came to the exit of Rennes City
"Hello Mr. Qin Xun, this is the carriage you ordered," said the man standing at the door, pointing to the brown wooden carriage placed at the door
"Thank you very much" Qin Xun thanked the guards and then rode on the white horse pulling the cart, the dark blue samurai armor and the white foal were more compatible, giving people a slightly handsome feeling
"Whew, I can finally get some sleep," Uncle Mu climbed into the carriage and said lazily
"Hahaha, you all have a good rest, we expect to be able to reach the royal capital tonight," Qin Xun said to the people in the carriage behind him
The carriage slowly drove out of Rennes City towards the royal capital, the breeze with a faint fragrance of flowers and warmth blew from the back of the carriage into the carriage and then from the front, in the cloudless sky, there was an eagle following the carriage from time to time, and before you knew it, the people in the carriage gradually entered the dream, and Qin Xun at this time gradually became a little sleepy
Suddenly, there was the sound of weapons striking each other not far ahead, Qin Xun also woke up from his sleepiness, Qin Xun gradually parked the carriage on the side of the road, turned over and dismounted and looked ahead
"That's.... Lizardmen? It's as if they're in... Attacking humans? Qin Xun carefully looked at what was happening in front of him
No matter what, let's take a closer look first, Qin Xun thought in his heart and ran forward
"Watch your back," Qin Xun said, throwing the katana forward in his hand and smashing it into a lizardman soldier who was about to attack the soldiers
"Thank you, but it's too dangerous here, you better run away quickly, these lizardmen are too high-level, not you can handle it" After thanking Qin Xun, the soldier pushed Qin Xun and let him leave
"Alas, it's like this everywhere, just leave it to me"
"What stupid things are you talking about, you will be sent to death if you go"
"Hmph, it's just a few lizardmen" After speaking, Qin Xun picked up the katana stuck in the ground and calmly walked towards the lizardmen's troops
The lizardman hissed and looked at Qin Xun vigilantly, Qin Xun made a provocative gesture very calmly, and then killed a lizardman who fell to the ground and was dying, and the lizardman seemed to be angered by Qin Xun's behavior and picked up weapons and rushed towards Qin Xun
"It's been a long time since I've been active, so I'll practice with you first" Qin Xun sneered and walked towards the lizardman who rushed towards him
Qin Xun lazily resisted the attack launched by the lizardmen, no matter how the lizardmen slashed at him, Qin Xun always looked at ease, and the clanging sound of collision continued to come from the lizardmen's troops
"Is that all you can do?" Qin Xun sneered and took off the scabbard of the katana in his hand, the dark red blade constantly shining in the reflection of the sun
[Martial Arts: Stinging Slash]
Qin Xun brandished the ghost to draw a cross in front of him, and then cut off the red cross that he had conjured up, and at the moment when the cross was cut off, countless red sword qi burst out from Qin Xun's surroundings and scattered around, and the lizardmen were hit by Qin Xun's sudden sword qi and fled without the power to parry
"Hmph, I haven't played enough" Qin Xun withdrew the knife into the scabbard, and the sword qi flying around him also dissipated
"Well, thank you, is your Excellency an adventurer?" The guard asked
"Yes, but I'm just passing by, if you want to thank me, you just need to give a little bounty" Qin Xun said with a smug expression
"I'll tell my master about the money, but I don't know if you want to ask for something," the soldier asked pleadingly
"You said I'll see what is going on and I'm thinking about whether to say yes or not."
"Okay, we originally set out from Rennes City to escort Lord Ellie to the royal capital, but we were suddenly attacked by lizardmen on the way, and now we are the only ones left, but if we are attacked, I'm afraid..."
"Are you going to the royal capital? It just so happens that I'm also going to the royal capital, and I will protect you, but about money," Qin Xun said with a look of a wealth fan
"As long as Your Excellency guarantees that Lord Ellie is safely sent to the royal capital, the reward will not be less," said the guard, who came to the carriage and lifted the curtain, as if talking to the inside of the carriage
After a while, with the help of the guards, a silver-haired girl walked down, her light green eyes flashed smartly, and her silver-white gauze skirt fluttered in the wind, looking so beautiful in the sunlight
"Hello, my name is Ellie..."
