Chapter 131: Escort Mission (7)

Speaking of rangers and adventurers, I don't think of the legendary stories that my grandfather told, but of the centaur boy, Gauss.

A ranger is the kind of person who comes and goes freely, without being bound by any force, organization, or even race.

Such people, in legends, are all respected and strong, and they are also chivalrous warriors who hoe the strong and help the weak, and even are thieves.

I don't know what happened to Gauss when he returned to the beach, and I'm not even sure if he completed his trial of adulthood, but I'm sure he said he wouldn't give up on becoming a ranger adventurer. Because in those months of getting along, I can see that he is also a very assertive person.

And I'm slowly getting the impression of him now—the centaurs may not be as bad as they thought they were, but some of the bandits have left an indelible impression on us.

Just like in front of me, the weak rabbits, sheepmen, and rat people, attached to the hands of powerful werewolves, leopards, and minotaurs, were bullied, but there didn't seem to be as much hatred between these werewolves and minotaurs as I imagined. In this chaotic land with no laws and rules, they have joined forces to oppress the weak.

Therefore, neither the hatred between races nor the friendship seems to be so pure......

Now I, as the guardian warrior of the Thunder City Temple, am respected by ordinary minotaurs, representing the minotaur clan, escorting the fox clan envoy group home, but I can only do nothing in this land, watching the miserable situation of the weak!

Perhaps, becoming a ranger is a good choice.

But, on the other hand, I can't let go of my current identity.

After all, this is the long-cherished wish of Grandpa and Dad, and the only way to regain the former glory of the Doon family.

"Ranger ......," I muttered softly, "it's a good idea, but I'm afraid I can't ...... it now."

"Can't you let go of your current identity?" Leo said, "That's right, people, they always feel that it's better to be stable, and they are reluctant to give up." ”

"That's not what I meant," I said, "at least not yet!" ”

"Well, it looks like you're really holding back." Leo said.

"What about you? Isn't there a little touch in your heart? I asked rhetorically, "Or do you like such cruel sights?" ”

"I've seen a lot," Leo didn't care, "not in person, but I understand better than you do." Remember, even if you have the aura of the protagonist, your strength alone is not invincible, and you alone can change all this, whether it is the legendary ranger, or the great legendary powerhouse, the minotaur patriarch, you can't completely change it! ”

"What the hell are you trying to say?" I said, "Don't you want that me to be a ranger?" ”

"That's just the first step," Leo said, "the darkness of the outside world, you have just seen the tip of the iceberg, I let you be a ranger, not to get rid of the current guardian warrior status to help the weak, but to see clearly, see clearly!" ”

"Why can't I understand your intentions?" I thought for a moment and said, "How much of a lie and conspiracy do you want to devise in order to break the seal and occupy my body?" ”

"That's how you understand it?" Leo seemed a little disappointed, "After doing it for a long time, I thought you had a sense of justice in your heart...... Alas, you can't boast! Just said you have a bit of an adult mind! Okay, I'll admit that I have such thoughts, but it's just a matter of incidentality, at least now I want to break the seal, but if I fool you into doing this and that all day long just for this goal, my vision will be as short-sighted as yours! ”

"You're covering up the point again!" I say.

"The point? The point is," Leo said, "I'm going to be ready for both!" What I suggest you to do now is good for you and good for me, and in the future, if I succeed in occupying your body, I will be able to enjoy the achievements and brilliance of your creation! If I fail, you will also become a strong man, and you, when the time comes, should also be grateful to me, right? ”

"It's really a two-handed preparation," I said, "cunning, but cautious." ”

"I don't need you to praise me," said Leo, "weigh it yourself, and now if you let you kill it, how many outlaws can you kill?" Don't say it's the leader of the four major forces, I'm afraid as long as their thugs go together, you won't survive, right? So, you don't even have the qualifications to be a ranger now, is it useful to think so much? ”

"Didn't you think further yourself?" I say.

"I'm different," said Leo, "you haven't even seen the earth under your feet, and I've seen the sky for what it is!" That's the difference in vision! ”

"I don't understand what you're talking about." I say.

"It's all right, sooner or later you'll understand," said Leo, "you see, we're talking like this, aren't you much calmer?" Don't want to rush up again, do you? ”

"Not really." I say.

"Well, this only means that you are still a child......" Leo said a little weakly.

"I'm an adult!" I say.

"Look at these companions around you," said Leo, "they are called adulthood, they are called maturity!" ”

"Isn't that cowardice......" I looked at Dole's and even Anta's expressions of disappointment.

The only one who was a little impulsive was Hicks.

I saw a flash of anger in his eyes, but he was blocked by Anta intentionally or unintentionally, and his face was anxious.

He saw that I was looking at him, nodded slightly, and shook his head again.

I nodded my head in understanding.

"Look at the ...... that suffocates you two hairy boys," said Leo regretfully, "they are all children! ”

"Take a good look at it!" I said, "Why doesn't Erica do it yet?" ”

"What, you're going to do it for her?" Leo said.

"Don't talk nonsense!" I say.

"Ask the scalpers where you plan to rest, preferably where the people of the four major forces gather," Leo said, "Generally, it is easier to do it when there are more people, and it is easier to hide when the forces are mixed......"

Before he could finish speaking, I couldn't wait to pull Dore: "Where are we resting?" ”

"Tired? No way? Dole looked at me a little strangely, and said, "Probably, five more hills, there is a stone mountain Behaimo market town, which is the junction of the four major forces, and the people of the four major forces dare not do it there easily, so they probably spend the night there." ”

I looked up at the sky, it was just near noon, and it looked like I had to walk for a while.

"How do you know so well?" Even though Leo had expected it, I was a little curious, "Have you been here?" ”

"This guy is a businessman and intelligence dealer," Leo said, "according to the plot, there must be such a person in the team, and if you ask him, he is in charge of advancing the plot." ”

Dole said, "I haven't been here, but my uncle has been......"

"Okay......" I nodded, but my heart was secretly awake.

It seems that in the evening or night, the fox girl Erica is about to make a move!

Unfortunately, I can't tell my companions, because even if I did, they wouldn't believe me.

I've been doing this kind of thing for years to keep secrets in my heart, such as stealing druid skills, such as concealing Leo's existence...... However, I have never felt so uncomfortable as I am now, because I know that something will happen, but I can't do anything about it.

Stone Mountain Behaimo is a small hill in the middle of the mountain range composed entirely of rocks, between the rocks grow wild grasses and wild flowers, the hillside is full of life, between the grass and flowers, there are many low houses, and even natural caves, but the top part of the mountain is relatively flat ground, a wide trading market surrounded by several neat rows of wooden houses.

The low houses and rocky caves on the side of the uphill road are a stark contrast to the beautiful wooden houses at the top of the hill.

But as Dole said, this is the junction of the four major forces, and it is relatively stable.

We were about to enter the trading market on the flat ground of the hill, and just as we were about to pass through a wooden archway, a bear-man in heavy armor waved a mace that was more expensive than my thigh, and said in a loud voice: "No matter who comes, you are not allowed to fight and make trouble in the Behaimo market, otherwise you will suffer the wrath of the four bosses!" And the wrath of me, the gatekeeper Romanov! ”

Anta stepped forward with the two ten-captains of the Bloodhoof and said, "We're just passing by. ”

The bear man said, "Remember the rules here, I don't care about anything else!" With that, he got out of the way.

We took a breath and walked in unhurriedly.

"Bear Man...... This guy is a fighting nation! Leo exclaimed, "It's just a goalkeeper." ”

I said, "The gatekeeper must be very strong, or if there is an enemy who can't even be stopped by the gatekeeper, won't he be even more unstoppable when he enters?" ”

"This idea is very strange!" Leo said.

"It's funny to think about," I said, "and in the place where the three tribes meet, there is a chaotic zone where lawless people are raging, and here, there are actually four major forces, and at the junction of the four major forces, there is such a peaceful little bazaar......

"This is the truth of peace," Leo said, "and no race will give up force easily, peace will only come when force is balanced, like a rare and delicate flower......"

Don't say it, it sounds quite reasonable.

It's a pity that this flower will soon be ravaged by a storm......

Walking into the Behaimo Bazaar, we found a secluded corner and prepared dinner and overnight arrangements.

At this time, the fox girl in the car, Erica, suddenly opened the curtain and said, "Warrior of the Minotaur Clan, I want to taste the flower barbecue in the shop over there, is it okay?" ”
