Chapter 20: Kayilu (I)

Bustling metropolis. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

European-style buildings are everywhere, intricately carved stone roads are bustling with people, and from time to time, you can hear the cries of hawkers.

After a day's and a night's journey, the caravan finally reached Bedford the next afternoon.

Ergu angrily showed the pass to the guards, and when all the carriages had entered the city, he threw a money bag to Xia Di.

After Xia Di caught it, under Ergu's urging gaze, he took Erin out of the car.

"It's rude." Xia Di said a few mocking words, and then turned his gaze to the street.

After entering the city through the gate, Xia Di has been observing the prosperity of the city from the carriage.

According to the knowledge gained during the game, Bedford is one of the commercial centers of Britain, with a thriving manufacturing of wine, textiles, and magical accessories, and a thriving business that leads to economic growth and a much larger number of towering buildings than other cities.

Sure enough, the world and the game have a lot in common.

Xia Di thought to himself as he muttered to himself, "Then ...... next What to do. ”

After receiving the payment from Ergu, Nick said that he would go to the letter bureau to send a pension and a letter of condolence to the families of his deceased comrades, and after saying hello to Xia Di, he led his men to leave.

Xia Di and Erin stood on the street, watching this short-term companion leave, and couldn't find anything to do for a while.

How to say it, suddenly there is a feeling of country people entering the city.

Even though I have been in and out of many more prosperous places than this, I still feel this way, is it because I realize that this is another world?

Xia Di couldn't help but think.

"It's still a little early, so let's have lunch and then walk the streets......

“…… No way. Erin shook her head slightly.

"What?"

"Little brother, have you ever been to this city?"

Xia Di blinked suspiciously, then shook his head.

Although he is an elite player, he has traveled to many cities across the country, but not all of them.

Coupled with the fact that during the game, Bedford was in rebel-occupied territory, and the rows of majestic walls and strong garrisons made it impossible for players to easily get close to it. Unless there's some special infiltration mission, no one will ever get a chance to enter the city before the siege, because even if they do, there's no point in getting in.

Xia Di judged it this way.

"Nope." Xia Di replied honestly.

"Yes." Erin nodded, then picked up the duffel bag, which was several times larger than her body, and turned to walk forward. "Well, it's okay to eat first."

It seems that he agreed to his proposal.

Xia Di thought and followed behind her.

The streets are crowded with people dressed in fantasy costumes and filled all corners of the city, and unlike in the days of the game, these characters will tell at a glance that they are not players, but natives.

There really isn't a single player.

Xia Di couldn't help but sigh.

Originally, he was expecting to meet other players here, but now it seems that there is no possibility of that.

Because the atmosphere exuded by these otherworldly people is completely different from that of players, he can tell it at a glance as a veteran player.

"Be careful."

As she walked, Erin was bumped by a passerby in the crowd, presumably due to the difference between the luggage she was carrying and her petite body, and something fell out of the gap in the duffel bag behind her.

Xia Di subconsciously stretched out his hand to catch it.

It was a gray hard thing.

If you look closely, it's a piece of pottery.

“…… A cup for drinking water? Xia Di said with a frown.

“?”

Hearing Xia Di's voice, Erin turned her head and looked at him in confusion, when she saw what Xia Di was doing, a crack appeared on her face with a very calm expression, she hurriedly walked to Xia Di's side, quickly took the pottery, and put it in the duffel bag.

It's like trying to reclaim a tool for life.

Xia Di was stunned by this sudden move, and subconsciously asked. "What's wrong?"

"Nothing." Erin replied.

"But just ......"

"You don't carry it anyway."

Xia Di looked at Erin with some confusion.

It was indeed Erin who carried the luggage along the way, but this was her own request, and when she set off, she said that she could help her, but as if she didn't plan to let herself touch the luggage, she not only refused herself, but also never let herself see what was inside.

At first, Xia Di thought that it might be filled with some personal belongings, full of girlish feelings or something...... underwear or something, I didn't care much about it, but, judging from the performance just now, is it just that she is humble to reject herself?

Angry because you almost broke something just now?

"I'd like to buy an apple instead of that." Erin said expressionlessly, pointing with the tip of her right finger to the storefront in front of her, which was a stall selling fruit. "I'm carrying luggage, can you please buy it for me?"

Xia Di was stunned for a moment, looked at the duffel bag on her body again, and nodded.

"Oh, you're thirsty."

I guess I didn't have anything to eat along the way, and I was hungry and thirsty.

In this case, the temper of the person is indeed not too good.

Xia Di guessed silently, and then took out the money bag and ran towards the fruit stand.

"One apple has 2 copper coins, and two count as your 3 copper coins, thank you for your patronage."

Listening to the stall owner's offer, Xia Di pressed the money bag with his left hand and untied the mouth with his right hand.

On the way to pay for the money, Xia Di suddenly felt that something was wrong with the weight of the money bag, he picked it up and looked into the bag, and found that there was a ring of metal in it.

It was the Divine Shield's magic ring, a magic trinket for Irene's talisman.

Wasn't it originally hanging around Erin's neck?

"Huh?" Xia Di exclaimed suspiciously, "How can this thing be ...... Ay? ”

Xia Di noticed that there was a note under the ring.

He picked up the note and looked at it, and it was written crookedly in small font: Thank you for your help along the way, Mr. Adventurer, I'm going to my uncle's house, this is a thank you gift for protecting me these days-Irene

"That little girl......" Xia Di looked back in surprise to find that Erin and her duffel bag were missing.

With such a big luggage on his back, he can still run so fast!

Isn't it all pretended along the way?

Xia Di felt that he suddenly felt that people's hearts were unfathomable.

……

Walking on the crowded street.

Xia Di's heart was a little confused, if it weren't for Erin's behavior before leaving, he would probably think that she had been abducted, but in fact, she left by herself.

Xia Di looked at the ring in his hand and sighed silently.

Then he hung the string from the ring around his neck.

Although he didn't understand why Erin was in such a hurry, since he got the item, he should take it well, so that he could be considered to have fulfilled the etiquette.

Maybe she was worried that she wouldn't accept this magic trinket, or maybe she just didn't feel the need to continue walking.

Whatever the answer, Xia Di became alone, which made him feel abandoned by the world.

Xia Di shook his head, thinking about things in his heart.

The most important thing at the moment is to survive, and the second most important thing is to return to the original world.

The former should be temporarily solved, he has 50 silver coins and 100 copper coins on his body, as long as he doesn't spend it indiscriminately, he can survive for 1 or 2 months, in terms of strength, although he has become a lot weaker, the amount of blood and magic power are not as good as before, but the skills are still there, as long as you don't die, it's no problem to go to the adventurer's guild to find some safe tasks to make money.

The most important thing now is the latter.

How can we return to the original world?

Xia Di felt that his life in the original world was not bad, and there were people he liked and companions, so he wanted to go back, but the current information was too little, so he couldn't grasp the solution to the problem for a while. This made him feel a little lost.

"Speaking of which, what was I doing in the moment I came into this world?"

Xia Di thought about it with all his might.

At that time, King Arthur was beaten by himself, and he detonated the palace before he died, causing the court to fall into a state of collapse, just like the classic plot of the brave man after hitting the demon queen, and he and his companions had to run out of the palace with all their strength in order to escape...... And then what?

Xia Di frowned, his brain felt a slight pain, he tried hard to make himself remember what happened after that, but he couldn't think of anything.

"I ...... What the hell is going on? ”
