Chapter Forty-Four: Go! Target - Ratchet City!
After five busy days, Old Tang, who was anxious to go to the Eastern Kingdom, finally handed over all the work in hand. During this period, he also took time to make a special trip back to Thunder Cliff to bid farewell to his fierce legendary aunt.
After learning that his nephew was going to travel to the Eastern Kingdoms, Magatha Terror Totem, a strong woman who doted on her children, would not have agreed to it. It wasn't until he finally couldn't bear Old Tang's bitter pleading and assurances that Magatha* Terror Totem nodded and relented, but he still wanted Old Tang to bring a vote of guards to protect his safety.
And the old Tang who wants to feel the life of an adventurer is naturally unwilling to do this, how can an adventurer still accompany him with a large number of guards? Old Tang was so good at talking that he wasted his tongue for a long time before his legendary aunt extinguished this thought and dispelled this idea. The last old Don, after smiling wryly and echoing Mama Magatha's repeated instructions, Wolf Bèi "escaped" out of the Long Heights and returned to the Legion Fortress to make final preparations for the trip.
After settling everything down, Don decided to set off for Ratchet City today, and with the help of the power of the goblins, he crossed the Endless Sea from the sea, and finally arrived at Hidden Treasure Bay, and began his adventure in the Eastern Kingdom.
When the day of departure came, Old Tang got up as usual and habitually practiced basic training. By the time the smoke rose from the fortress and the crowds began to boil, Old Tang had already returned to his barracks from the kitchen with a large plate of omelette of Plain Chocobos.
Push open the door and put breakfast on the table. Seeing that the eagle-man Xiao Nizi was still lying in bed, Lao Tang stepped forward and pulled up the eagle-like little girl who refused to get up in the quilt, regardless of her shouting and struggle, and easily pressed on the chair next to the table.
"Hey, hey, hey! So early! Big man, this queen hasn't slept enough! Why are you still so savage! Next time you dare to wake me up, I'll steal your wallet and make you a poor bastard! Hum! Xiao Nizi, a harpy wearing silk pajamas, rubbed her sleepy eyes, and kept complaining and "threatening" to Old Tang.
"Can't stop you for breakfast? Hurry up and eat, and we're going to leave when we're done. β
"There's a caravan in the Taurazu camp that wants to do business with those goblins, let's get over there early and hit the road together. Hurry up and change your clothes after eating! β
Hearing Xiao Nizi's "threat", Lao Tang couldn't cry or laugh, and his life in the past six months made Xiao Nizi, the eagle-body, firmly remember a formula, gold coins = delicious meals + beautiful clothes. Unconsciously, Xiao Nizi has long regarded no money as the most terrible thing. Even nowadays, threatening people is using stealing wallets as a weight.
For half a year, the eagle-man Xiao Nizi has always been tired of being by Lao Tang's side, and even lives in Lao Tang's barracks at night. Even if they have been "living together" together for half a year, Tang and Xiao Nizi, the eagle, have long been accustomed to inconsequential bickering every morning. For Lao Tang, every day he can hear the crisp noisy noise of the eagle-like little Nizi Huangli, which is also a kind of relaxation and a spice for boring life. The old Tang, who has always been steady and sullen, will only be as active as a young man when facing the eagle man Xiao Nizi.
"Woo~ I'm full! Big! Hurry up, help me change my clothes! I'm going to wear that black dress! The eagle-man Xiao Nizi gobbled up for a while, her small mouth stuffed with chocobo omelette, and the vague commander Lao Tang.
"I don't know how to wear it~! I've got to help you with everything, you're stupid! β
"Do you want to die? Big! Don't you dare to listen to the words of this queen? β
"I won't listen, what's the matter?"
"I'm going to tear your mouth apart! I'm! β
"That"
"Yikes"
The quiet and comfortable morning time passed quietly in the sound of the two bickering
ββββββββββββββββββββI'm the dividing line of the spoutββββββββββββββββββββββββββββ
Time passed in a hurry, and after Old Tang and the Harpy Little Nizi said goodbye to everyone in the Legion Fortress, they had already ridden the Barren Horn for a morning. The strong and mighty horns carried the old Tang and the two effortlessly, galloping like joy on the barren wasteland. After a gallop, the Taurazu camp not far away is already close in front of you.
By the time Old Tang and the eagle-manned Xiao Nizi arrived at the Taolazu camp, a large caravan was already ready to set off at the gate of the camp. Large groups of supplies were tightly tied together and firmly fastened to the backs of more than two dozen pack Kodo beasts. Around the horse team, more than a dozen minotaurs dressed as merchants were gathering together in twos and threes to talk and laugh in low voices.
From afar, Don saw Jon Stareye, the manager of the Taurazu camp, and a small group of Minotaur warriors busy packing up their belongings, and stood in line on the side of the caravan.
And what surprised Lao Tang was that Jon*Stareye, who has always been strict and steady, was constantly currying favor with a smile on his face at the moment, constantly pleasing a minotaur girl in front of him, as low as he wanted, and he didn't have the trustworthy calm look in Old Tang's impression at all.
The minotaur girl with two hemp braids and a shaman dressed as a shaman, who was chattering at the moment and nodding his head, became more and more excited, and did not save face for Jon Stareye, and the hammer in his hand slammed Jon's horns, making a crisp sound.
The small group of bullaur warriors with tigers and bears, after peeking a few times, pretended not to see them one by one, pursed their lips tightly and smiled, and blushed hard. Even so, these unscrupulous young men who read jokes were also hit by the pond fish and were shot one after another.
"What are you laughing at? What's so funny? You're very happy to see your chief deflated, aren't you? Would you like to give you a moment too? β
This girl who made Jon's star eyes whisper, just finished teaching the honest man Jon, saw the snickering Minotaur strong man, and immediately had another crackling lesson, and the speed of her speech was so fast that she didn't give everyone a chance to interject, and cold sweat broke out on everyone's foreheads.
Looking at this qiΔ from afar, the unscrupulous old Tang suddenly admired the lung capacity of this tough girl. The speed of speech was fast and uninterrupted for a long time, and the girl didn't even breathe.
Old Tang, who was holding the eagle-clad little Nizi, rode a brute horn and slowly paced in front of Jon and the others. Finally, taking advantage of the gap between the big pigtailed minotaur girl's words, Old Tang, who seized the opportunity to interject, hurriedly interrupted her chatter. According to this posture, I'm afraid that this minotaur girl won't bring the same thing for a day.
"Jon, who is this?" Old Tang looked at the honest man Jon Star's eyes playfully and asked.
"Ah, Goode, you're here at last. Ah, this beautiful woman's name is Kenna Prairie Wind, my senior sister and a disciple of Gudar Sensei. β
Jon * Stareye, who has been counted down by Kenna and has to laugh and flatter, finally interrupted his chatter when he saw Old Tang arrive, his face was happy, and he breathed a long sigh of relief without a trace. hurriedly picked up the conversation and introduced it to Old Tang.
"Senior sister, this is"
"Ah!! Goode * Titan Power * Terror Totem! Yes!! It's really you! Before Jon could introduce Old Tang to his senior sister, a scream that could almost pierce the eardrums resounded around everyone, startling the unprepared everyone. This minotaur girl named Kenna * Prairie Wind is completely like a star-chasing girl in later generations seeing an idol at the moment, and she is very excited.
"Ah, I suddenly remembered that I pulled something down at the hotel, I'll go back and get it first, you are not allowed to leave, wait for me to come back!"
But before everyone could react, Kenna said another puzzling word, and ran away quickly with a red face. While running, he said in pieces:
"Ah, it's so embarrassing, what should I do if I am seen going crazy? Will it be hated? It's so damnning, how can it be just in time for this? Hmph, I blame the damn Jon, sister, I wrote it down! β
Looking at the figure of this minotaur running away, the old Tang who was confused. Turning his head to look at Jon Star's eyes, who couldn't stop smiling, waiting for his explanation.
"Ahem, my senior sister, it's crazy to come up for a while. ~~ She has always been your admirer. This time, the caravan was going to Ratchet City, and after I didn't know how to find out that you were going with you, I sneaked to me and went with the team anyway. Jon Stareye, at first he was a little embarrassed to speak, but later, he stared at Old Tang with some amusement, snickering at the corners of his mouth.
"Well, you won't promise her, will you? Does Master Gudar know this? Old Don couldn't help but smile wryly when he heard Jon Star's explanation. Needless to say, just look at the way Jon Stareye just whispered, and you know the result. In the face of such a senior sister, how could Jon not succumb to obscenity,
"Well, it's just a trip to Ratchet City. Goode, you should help take care of her. It's only been a few days, so you shouldn't be unlucky to see me, right? Sure enough, Jon, who was originally extremely calm and strict in Old Tang's impression, sold Old Tang especially undisciplined in this matter.
Thinking of having to stay with such a chatty little girl for several days along the way, Old Tang couldn't stop having a headache. But Jon, who has a good relationship, has come to the eye, and Don is not easy to refuse. After all, it's not a big deal, so it's better to join in the fun along the way. Thinking of this, Old Tang could only nod helplessly in Jon*'s starry eyes with a longing and expectant expression, and agreed.
Seeing Old Don nodding, Jon*, who was nervous on the side, let out a long undisguised sigh of relief. Now that this matter is settled, his "terrible" senior sister should let herself go, right?
"By the way, Goode, this group of brothers was sent by me to guard the caravan. They will accompany you to Ratchet City, and then escort the caravan back from the end of the trade, and you can take care of it. And you should be safe along the way. Especially when it comes to the Eastern Kingdoms, be careful. I heard that those human nobles are all cunning and cunning, so you must be careful not to be calculated. β
Jon Stareye was afraid that Old Tang would change his mind, so he quickly diverted the topic and said.
"Even though those humans are very shrewd, I'm not bad, am I? Besides, I'm just an adventurer on this trip, what's worth calculating? Rest assured! It's going to be fine. Hearing that Jon Stareye was worried about himself, Old Tang couldn't help but respond with a smile, and then thought of something that he had missed before, his face was grim, and then he spoke.
"Jon, the location of the Taurazu camp is extremely important, not only to monitor the movements of the boar people, but also to be wary of other races spying on our Shuharu sphere of influence. I heard from a goblin merchant about a notorious organization called a venture capital company. Remember to take strict precautions against them, and never allow them to enter Mogaure and Stonetalon Mountain! Not even by passing by! You'll have to inform Grudiger and Bane of this matter as soon as I leave. Let them be vigilant too! β
"Also inform the Great Chief that he should issue a ban in the name of the Great Chief, and any Minotaur must join the venture capital company in any form, and violators will be punished as treason. Tell the chief what I have said, and let him consider it, and say that it is my intention. β
Thinking that he was about to go to Ratchet City, Old Tang thought of those venture capital companies that plundered and exploited resources without restraint for the sake of profit, destroying the balance of nature. This notorious organization has not yet extended its tentacles into the territory of the Minotaurs. But Lao Tang had to take precautions and take strict precautions to completely prevent these crazy guys from hitting the Minotaur with their ideas.
For venture capital companies, Don hated it in his previous life. If in this life, these tiresome guys dare to stretch out their claws to harm the interests of the Minotaurs, Old Tang doesn't mind chopping off their tentacles.
"Yes, I made a note of it. Don't worry, I'll go back and meet the chief in person. When it comes to getting down to business, Jon's starry eyes return to his usual steadiness and rigor.
After everything was explained, Old Tang was ready to set off again. Turning over and stepping on the back of the brutehorn, Old Tang, who hugged the eagle man Xiao Nizi, nodded to Jon * Star Eye on the side and sent his blessing.
"Then I'm leaving, may Mother Earth protect you!"
"Have a nice trip~~! May Mother Earth bless you! β
With that, Old Tang pulled the reins of the brute horn and slowly walked towards the front of the caravan. Several lined up on the side, and the strong men of the bull-headed men with the tiger's back followed closely.
"Hey, wait for me! Don't leave me and run away! β
A voice of anxiety and annoyance came from afar from the Taurazu camp. If she ran away before, she nagged the girl Kenna * Prairie Wind, riding a petite riding Kodomon, quickly rushed out of the camp gate, and caught up with the old Tang and a few people.
Under the scorching midday sun of the barren land, the caravan slowly pulled out under the escort of Old Tang and the strong men of the minotaur.
