Chapter 60 Laughing and Talking on the Way
PS: About the salutation. It is very clear in the book that it is the child's name for Shen Yan. As mentioned above, Shen Yan is a person who is very persistent in his name, just like he emphasized that his real name is "Shen Nayan". In the Otherworld, he also asked everyone to call him "Shen Yan" instead of "Yan Shen". Westerners generally like to call him by his first name, but Shen Yan was pointed at his nose by a small child, and he thought it was very rude. That's why he asked the children to call him "Brother Shen". Note that it's not Big Brother, it's Shen Da Ge.
As for the prince's hall, the title of master or something...... It's too shameful for others to misunderstand this kind of thing.
Shen Yan's "nephritis" stalk, obviously this oriental joke, was first spread by himself. The previous article also hinted many times that Shen Yan is willing to spread these, such as "Male Silent Female Tears", "Bright Moon in the Old Country", "I Lost in the Future", "I Didn't Expect You to Be Such a Person" and so on - when he heard the Internet words from the mouths of people from other worlds, Shen Yan must be very happy.
Because this is because he is corrupting the other world, not like many predecessors who have crossed over, he has been rapidly transformed into a standard indigenous by the other world.

On the way, Penny kept wanting to laugh, while Shen Yan kept wanting to cry.
He finally remembered that that kind of ritual was not the same as that of the kings and knights of Europe. The person who carried it out was either William or Louis, or Bonaparte.
But to say that the ceremony is simple and funny...... I'm sorry, it's not shabby or funny at all! It can even be said that tying those kings of the peninsula together is not as professional as Shen Yan! It's not about the form, it's about the ...... That feeling that goes straight to the soul! It's the feeling that counts. After all, the predecessors of the current kings of the peninsula were either mutinous legionnaires or expelled subspecies. In terms of ritual, in addition to the elves, Shen Yan can throw off the remaining people for a hundred streets!
"What about the future? Are we going to go down the road of fraud and never turn back? Shen Yan asked Penny in frustration.
He didn't want that, but it was a problem that had to be faced.
"Oh, I'm sorry, it's just you—I'm just an innocent, involuntary weapon that was forced to go down the path of crime. According to you Mi people, it is not the weapon that makes the mistake, but the hand that holds it. I really exist only to defend human rights, and everything else is a misunderstanding. Penny quickly drew a line with the fraudster Mr. Shen Yan.
"You are the rice country, and your whole family is the rice country! Besides, who said that weapons are not responsible? That's the brain-dead people of the United States! When the anger is up, can it be the same with a gun at hand as if there is no gun, and there must be two results! Shen Yan said as he spoke, and suddenly stopped thoughtfully—and then the two people inside and outside his body covered their heads and wailed together.
“…… Gun! ”
- In order to go to the grove, they brought everything, and even the two people who had to pack up the house and take it away, actually forgot to bring the SIG pistol that was most suitable for self-defense......
"I blame you!"
"I blame you!"
After parting ways, the two turned against each other again.
- Sure enough, there is only a battle between the stepmother and the son, and there is the warmest and sweetest daily life between the father and the daughter.

"The question is, where do I go to find that country?" Shen Yan frowned.
Let's not talk about the restoration of the country, in the future, his race will be able to seamlessly switch between the two races of humans and elves, the kind from the genetic level - even checking the bloodline will not find any problems. Therefore, even if he recovers the country, he must first decide whether it is the country of the elves or the kingdom of humans.
But when he was an elf, he had to deal with the blue pool of the silver moon goddess, which made him all kinds of unhappy.
But Shen Yan didn't know that the Silver Moon Goddess was even more blue than he thought.
Penny had predicted that the Goddess of the Silver Moon would fall into a slumber for at least a few hundred years before she would continue to settle old scores after waking up—there must be a part of Shen Yan among them, that's a sure thing! Who let him help the female elf and absorb part of the essence of the Silver Moon Goddess. He was so high on the list that the Goddess of the Silver Moon would surely see his name at a glance whenever she woke up......
The gods Penny met all obeyed the law and defended the faithful. With authority comes great responsibility, both good and evil. Even if the gods of the chaotic camp are not really "chaotic", there are still traces to follow in doing things. But this time even Penny guessed wrong...... The Goddess of the Silver Moon, that girl has been carried away by hatred!
In order to defend themselves against threats from the outside world, the other gods pinched their noses to help her. But she didn't know how to use these rubbed divine powers, made a series of prophecies and issued oracles - making the ultimate list of hunts! On the list of the new issue of "Elven Racial Hatred", the former elven regent and his wife ranked first and second, and Shen Yan's name ranked third!
A large wave of elves were looking for him everywhere with the portrait, and it was only because it was written "Race: Moon Elves" that those people were looking in the wrong direction - the elves regarded this as an internal matter of the race, and strictly sealed off external information. The regent and his wife were sacrificed for the first time, so for the time being, no elves have thought of looking for people in human territory. But it won't last long, after all, the peninsula is such a big place. Prophecy and magic go hand in hand, and it is only a matter of time before Shen Yan is found.
"Actually, you have your own territory, isn't it around the city? As long as it can be fully restored, the ring city is much larger than the average country. Penny suggested.
"Who would want that kind of place." In Shen Yan's opinion, since Milton said it was a ruin, he no longer had any expectations. To be precise, even if the city can rise to the sky again, it will not be possible to return to its former prosperous state, because the environment is different, and the people are different.
What's the point of being a lonely city? It's not "I'm a legend" - it's "I'm a legend" where there are no dogs or zombies.
If Huancheng can rise to the sky again, Shen Yan's biggest expectation for her is to have one more safe refuge - hiding in the sky is not enough for your cow? According to Shen Yan's understanding, since he is the heir to this inheritance, it should be no problem for him to return to the ring city at any time from any position when he regains control of part of the ring city.
Otherwise, if you don't even have a land use certificate, you will say that the city is yours, and you will touch the porcelain, right?
“…… Actually, it's not just about the city. If you dare to stand up and say that you are the heir of the lady, then a lot of land in the universe will belong to you! For example, this snow-capped mountain...... The lady had an agreement with the gods that all the land that fell around the city belonged to the ring city. As long as you dare to stand up and declare, no matter what the kings think, the gods will definitely be willing to endorse you! ”
"And then the next thing is to kill me...... I've only heard that the goods that fall to the ground belong to the nobility. It's good that you have fallen to the ground, and even the ground is yours! The lady is so arrogant, how did she live to a hundred years ago? ”
Penny smiled.
It actually stems from a rather long story - the lady was an extremely lazy and laissez-faire person, she didn't even want to accept the faith, and anyone who prayed to her would be killed.
So with the secret support of many gods, a guy began to establish a church in the city, spread the faith, and successfully stole the priesthood of the lady's "portal". The lady ignored this, so much so that for a long time, it was believed that the god was also one of the masters of the city, and many people even thought that he was much greater than the lady! Until one day, a lady's servant, Dabas (a tool used to repair the ring city), announced that he was the priest of that god, and then the lady suddenly became angry!
She slaughtered the god like a chicken and threw the corpse into the astral plane. Most of the believers were killed, and his temple was reduced to dust, along with the six blocks around the city!
The rule of "landing is around the city" was set at that time...... Wherever the area is covered with fallen scum, the lady claims that it is hers! In fact, it was because the lady couldn't find the materials to repair the block that she had broken, so she had to rob it...... But the gods were afraid that the lady would settle the account because of that incident, so they quickly reached an agreement with the lady. It was also from then on that the gods were not allowed to enter the ring city.
"It's not easy to make an agreement between gods, but when it's reached, each god will take the initiative to maintain it, and it's even harder to tear it up. So if you have the power, go ahead and declare it, even if you claim the entire peninsula as yours! Penny said impassionedly.
"The peninsula is so big, what are you doing here?"
"......" The two salted fish fell silent again, yes, what are you doing here?
Well, it doesn't seem to be of much use...... There is a way to earn money or something, and I don't want the right to the first night or something! In this case, the peninsula will be responsible for the lives and deaths of countless people, and they will be tired and tired every day, and they will have no time to enjoy it......
"Would you like to eat roast bunny tonight?"
"Yes, yes."
As a salted fish, give me an honest salted fish!
What kind of rhetoric do you always brag, and even you are afraid of yourself after blowing, isn't it a shame?
*****
"The grove south of the camp" is obviously just a nickname.
In this off-the-beaten-path spot in Green Horn, would it sound like a place to safely enjoy the sun and have a picnic?
This forest is a sparse forest connected to a large primeval forest, and although it is not as dense and opaque as the large forest, it is easy to get lost when walking in it. Moreover, there are no shortage of problems and dangers encountered in the primeval forest.
The only good thing is that the altitude here is much higher than the camp, which already resembles the Earth's boreal landforms. The sparse bushes allow for a wide view, and there is no one of the animals that Shen Yan hates the most—snakes.
Shen Yan rode his horse and chose a slightly detoured path, following the edge of the woods to the top of the mountain. It was only when he reached the point where the road ahead was completely cut off by the woods that he dismounted and untied the reins of "Pipi Shrimp". "Wait here for me, run away when you are in danger, and you can't find me to go back to the camp first, do you understand?" Shen Yan unloaded the luggage carried by the wildebeest, and then touched the ear of "Pipi Shrimp" and explained, he knew that this horse could roughly understand what he meant.
In a world full of magic, animals are exceptionally intelligent.
The luggage was temporarily stored in a cave at the edge of the forest. It's about 10 kilometres from the camp and about the same distance from the hilltop ruins, making it a good relay location.
He first set up a stove in the cave, cooked something to eat, and looked around by the way. Ignition is done to alarm nearby animals and confirm the safety of the surrounding area; Observing the environment is to prepare for the danger on the snowy mountain, you can retreat in this direction - so as not to escape from the wolf's mouth and jump into the tiger's den.
Penny remained silent and watched the whole time, which represented Shen Yan's growth.
All they got from Laurel were fragmentary and incoherent memories, and the strength of the two was not at the same level at all, and their judgment of danger was definitely different. So how to transform the knowledge learned into practical power, Shen Yan needs to comprehend it himself. Strength is much more than just drawing a bow and shooting an arrow.
So far, Shen Yan has done a good job - although the choice of "directly starting a fire" is a little presumptuous, but Shen Yan has his own ideas that are more worthy of praise - not everything in this world has a standard answer, and what is more valuable than the standard answer is the one he has found.
"Okay, now let's go into the mountain," after making sure that there was no major danger around, Shen Yan put out the fire, moved his muscles and bones, and came to a tree at the edge of the forest. "In the elven way!" He climbed the tree in three times and divided by two, and chose a flexible branch to step on until the branch could barely support him.
Shen Yan closed his eyes, feeling the elasticity and flexibility of this branch, and relying on the unique balance of the elf, his body rose and fell with the elasticity of the branch. He remembered in his heart the feeling of Laurel walking through the forest, and when the branch sank to its lowest point again, he stepped on the branch deeper with a little pressure on his feet.
When the branches bounced up, "whoosh", a dexterous figure left the tip like a bird and flew towards another large tree.
"Click!"
The next moment, Shen Yan, who had stepped on the broken branch, fell face down under the tree in the shape of "Tai".
