42. Elderly young people
In fact, if you think about it carefully, Xiao Nan's words sound very reasonable at first glance, but after careful analysis...... It still seems to make a lot of sense......
At least in my opinion, if I had learned magic, I would never have hid behind a wall, and I would have rushed out and beaten him.
But I don't agree with Xiao Nan's words, after all, hundreds of thousands of years have passed, and in the face of the threat of insects, the people of this world have been shrinking into defense, is it possible that no one has thought of a way to take the initiative to attack for such a long time? No one does it, which proves that this method doesn't work.
Phyllis was also stunned for a while when she heard this, and she was speechless for a long time, obviously she was also choked by Xiao Nan's words.
After thinking for a long time, Phyllis held back a sentence: "It's not that I don't dare to fight, but I can't beat it." ”
Just as the two eldest ladies were about to start a debate on the topic of 'why didn't magicians dare to take the initiative to attack', Niu Kelian, who was keeping vigil outside the carriage, stuck his head in.
Niu Kelian said: "Worry, I feel as if something is approaching here. ”
As soon as they heard this, the two eldest ladies immediately kept silent, and the two brothers who were lying on the side also immediately turned over and sat up, groping for weapons at their sides.
Don't look at the three days of walking through the desert, but our vigilance has not diminished at all.
The experience of these three days is not exactly like a pool of stagnant water, for example, yesterday at noon, we encountered a super-large scorpion attack, if it wasn't for Niu Kelian's timely response, I'm afraid that at this time we have become a big scorpion's belly for dinner. Although the final result was that everyone except me and Xiao Nan had a full meal of scorpion meat.
We got dressed and got out of the carriage to meet this 'uninvited guest'.
I touched Niu Kelian's arm and asked, "Hey, Brother Niu, do you think it could be that the big scorpion's accomplices are looking for revenge against us?" ”
Niu Kelian hesitated for a moment before replying: "I don't think so, it's from the northeast, if it's a scorpion seeking revenge, most of them will run over from the west." ”
Xiao Blue was holding a bow and arrows on the side, with a look of eagerness, and he said excitedly: "It may be a scorpion from another family, even if it is here to seek revenge, it is not afraid, anyway, it is to send us meat." Old cow, where do you say to shoot this time? Say it in advance, save and shoot some precious ingredients. ”
Niu Kelian frowned and looked in the northeast direction, stretched out his hand to stop Xiao Blue, and said, "Don't worry, wait until it gets closer." ”
By the light of the moon, you can already see the general outline of the other party...... It's still impossible to say what the other party is, but it's definitely not a scorpion, because the body proportions don't look right.
As the other person gets closer and closer, the outline becomes clearer and clearer.
I pointed ahead and was surprised, "How do I feel, it's a bit like a person!" ”
Little Blue put down the bow and arrows, nodded and said, "It seems that it is indeed a person." ”
The others nodded their heads, and everyone seemed to think so.
At this time, the other party was only more than 100 meters away from us, and as time passed, the distance between the two sides became shorter and shorter, and the outline of his figure became clearer and clearer, and he was really a person.
Standing in front of us was a young man with black hair in a shawl, with fair skin and a pale face, his face was so smooth that he couldn't see even a trace of stubble, he was wearing a white and green robe, and the place where the two colors met was decorated with a circle of exquisite golden patterns, if he also had a pair of pointed ears, then his appearance was very much like an elf in film and television works.
Although the man in front of me appeared to be a young man in his early twenties, when I saw his eyes, I had a hallucination that there seemed to be an old man with crane hair in his seventies and eighties standing in front of me. His gaze was too deep, even a hidden cultivator didn't have such a deep gaze.
When he saw our group, he seemed a little disappointed, he shook his head, and sighed softly, "It's human." ”
Xiao Nan said on the side: "No, no, no, we are ghosts." ”
The man smiled at Xiao Nan, but didn't say anything.
At this time, Niu Kelian asked tentatively at this person, "Are you ...... Lord Green? ”
The person who was called His Excellency Green by Niu Kelian stared at Niu Kelian suspiciously and asked, "You...... Know me? You are? ”
"Oh, my name is Niu Kelian."
Niu Ke Lian Han scratched his head with a smile and said: "I used to be a mercenary, and when I was 19 years old, I went on a mission with the Mercenary Guild, and I was escorting you to Rock Mound Castle back then. ”
"What? 19 years old? ”
All of us stared at this Lord Green in amazement, Niu Kelian should be in his 40s this year, he had escorted this 'young man' more than 20 years ago, could it be that this Lord Green was still in infancy and was escorted to the Rock Mound Fort?
Seeing our strange gaze, His Excellency Green didn't pay much attention, but Niu Kelian immediately reacted, and hurriedly explained to us: "The one in front of us is the only first-level magician of the life department in the kingdom, Green Frey, who should be ...... this year."
His Excellency Green replied, "214 years old. ”
Niu Kelian nodded and replied, "That's right, 214 years old." ”
Now Xiao Nan and I were even more stunned, an old man over two hundred years old, what does he look like? Isn't that scientific? It's a goblin, right?
But others around us were relieved.
Little Blue suddenly realized: "Oh, it turned out to be Lord Green, then it is not strange. ”
Phyllis's eyes bloomed with a layer of essence, and I saw her instantly rush to the side of His Excellency Green, tugging at his clothes and saying excitedly: "Your Excellency Green, I am your fan, can you sign for me?" ”
It seems that he is quite famous, it seems that only Xiao Nan and I don't know who he is, we can only stand on the side and look at each other, as if abandoned by the whole world.
Niu Kelian asked, "Your Excellency Green, how did you find here?" It's a coincidence to meet you in the middle of the desert, right? ”
Yes, this is too coincidental, in the boundless desert, it is rare to meet a living creature, let alone meet a person, Niu Kelian's question has raised our interest.
Green smiled and waved his hand, and said: "It's not a coincidence, I've been walking in this desert for several days, I'm thirsty and tired, I noticed a strong breath of life in this direction, so I walked this way, and walked for two days before I found here, thinking that this is an oasis for me to have a good rest." ”
Green raised his head and looked at the vine carriage behind us, and said in disappointment: "But I didn't expect that the oasis didn't find it, but found two flower elves' unique superior seeds. ”
Niu Kelian was puzzled: "However, weren't you arranged by the Magic Guild to be stationed in Rock Mound Castle?" What are you doing in the desert? ”
Green sighed, "Hey, don't mention it, there's no Rock Fort anymore, I just escaped from there." ”
