Chapter 154: A Chance Encounter
[I miss the soft big bed~]
Jade lay on the grass in front of the campfire, with only a mat spread under her, rolling back and forth as she roasted the fire.
[If you want to sleep, go back to the tent, you will get sick if you fall asleep here.] γ
As the first shift of the vigil, Liu Xianyu spoke to Jade while adding firewood to the campfire.
[I can't sleep, I'm not sleepy at all. γ
Jade boredly took out the void and chanted, and began to use soil on the ground to create Q versions of animal images. Seeing her actions, Liu Xianyu asked with some curiosity:
[Speaking of which, where did you learn these strange elemental models, you can always use magic so uniquely.] γ
Liu Xianyu had always been very curious before, although the magic of jadeite seemed nothing special, it always seemed different in some details. And she doesn't have the same attitude toward magic as most mages.
[Where did you learn it?] When I was a child, I didn't have the money to go to the academy to study magic, my magic was all academy ...... Taught by an old mage in the courtyard. γ
Jade almost said the word dean, but what she didn't know was that Xingyue had already told Liu Xianyu that they were orphans.
[He's a super troublesome guy.,Every time I teach magic I'm always nagging something I don't understand.,What magic should be for humans and not for combat or something.] γ
Should magic serve humans? γ
Liu Xianyu repeated the words of Jade, and always felt that this sentence sounded quite reasonable, after coming to this world for so long, the seemingly convenient devices in life he had seen were basically made by the mysterious organization of magic energy technology, and it was rare to see magical equipment.
[No wonder you always use some strange looking magic from time to time, but accidentally used in some way, it turns out that this is the source.] γ
[Hmph, when it comes to the meticulous tweaking of the magic model, no one can compare to me.] γ
[Yes, yes, you are very powerful in this kind of useless place. γ
After complimenting the jade perfunctorily, Liu Xianyu stood up from the mat, and he put one hand to his mouth to signal the jade to be quiet.
Whew-
The sound of a leaf swaying caught his attention, and there was almost no wind, but there was such a sound from inside the bushes. Quietly bending down and sparing from the side, there was a bush near the side of the camp, and something could be seen hidden inside.
After carefully observing it again and again, Liu Xianyu confirmed that it should be a person hiding inside, pulled out his long sword and said:
[Don't move, stand up on the spot!] γ
The bushes shook slightly, and then a man slowly rose from the bushes.
[Don't do it, I'm just passing by!] I'm so hungry that I see the campfire and want to see if I can order something to eat, and if it bothers me, I'll leave now! γ
A somewhat immature voice came, Liu Xianyu took a closer look and found that it was a child, listening to the voice should be a boy, could it be a lost child?
After confirming that it was not an enemy or a demonic beast that was not just conceived, Liu Xianyu opened his mouth and said to the boy:
[Come here, we still have a lot of dry food.] γ
Liu Xianyu walked to the side of the bonfire with the boy, and the boy cowered behind him, until the two of them came to the vicinity of the bonfire, and the boy suddenly let out a surprised sound.
[It turned out to be you, little brother! ] γ
The boy's voice suddenly relaxed, and he took Liu Xianyu's hand with an excited expression.
[Do you know us?] γ
[It's me, Iβthe one who introduced you to the caravan on the road.] γ
After listening to the boy's words, Liu Xianyu finally remembered, and after a closer look, he found that the boy was the one who introduced them to the port agency who teamed up with Flin on the road, and the boy was the little errand inside. Jade also seemed to remember the boy's sudden realization, but she immediately thought of a question
[Didn't you run errands in the port, how did you come so far? γ
Stretched out his hand to take the dry food handed to him by Liu Xianyu, the boy ate it in a big gulp, and replied vaguely:
[Don't mention it, I originally followed the uncles out to transport the goods and wanted to earn a little more money to fix my partner, but I didn't expect that the goods and uncles were robbed by a group of people on the way. γ
[Oh, that broken sword of yours hasn't been repaired yet? γ
Jade glanced at the broken sword hanging from the boy's waist, the ordinary goods of the rotten street, and the price of repairing it plus a little more was enough to buy a new one.
[Look at you haven't eaten for at least a day or two, count yourself lucky to meet the kind-hearted Miss Jade and her friends.] γ
Reaching out and handing the boy the hot dry food, the boy finished a piece of dry food in two bites, and Jade handed him another piece of bread when he saw this.
[I walked alone in the mountains for three days, and I ate a few bitter fruits at noon yesterday, can you give me some water? γ
The boy seemed to choke a little as he gobbled up.
[It's best to drink less water, otherwise you will feel better if you soak in water for a while. γ
After listening to Jade's words, he hesitated for a moment, only took a sip and sent the bread in his mouth down, and then he was hungry and didn't drink more.
[Big sister, do you still know this kind of thing? γ
The boy ate something in his mouth, and the name of the jade became closer.
[Hmph, Miss Ben has picked up all kinds of street children, and the one next to you is also the one I picked up. γ
Jade proudly pointed to Liu Xianyu, who was sitting next to the boy and fiddling with the bonfire.
[Who did you pick it up, obviously I saved you from the hands of the monster, okay!] In order to steal other people's eggs and eat, he was chased around by an 'ancient giant chicken'. γ
γ
[Liar, little brother, your words are deceitful when you hear them, how can the big sister be a mage, how can she be chased by an 'ancient giant chicken' who is useless outside of her size. You say yes, big sister! γ
The boy looked at Emerald in a natural tone.
γForehead...... Haha, yes, yes, how could it be. γ
Holding on and showing an embarrassed smile, Jade opened her mouth to respond.
[I'm too lazy to explain to you, anyway, you're lucky to meet us, we'll take you to the next city you arrive at, and then you can figure out the rest yourself.] γ
Liu Xianyu wanted to send the boy to a safe place with the idea of helping him when he met him.
[I'm not a cheeky person either, you helped me, and I want to reciprocate. γ
[I have a message about the ruins underneath, which was said by the people who took the goods during the conversation, and they didn't expect that there were people around me so I heard it. γ
[Ruins underneath? γ
As soon as Jade heard these four words, she couldn't hold back for a while, and hurriedly stepped forward to ask.
[The location should be in the mountains ahead, not far from here, but it is possible that those people are also there.] γ
