Chapter 1: Welcome to the New World, Hands Up!
"Plop!"
He felt like he had fallen through the door into a lake, and the cold water poured through the cracks in his leather armor, allowing his soaked underwear to cuff around his skin and take away a lot of heat. Shen Yan curled up his legs, as if shrinking into a cramped space.
Shen Yan tried to keep his eyes open, and through the thin layer of water, he could see the blue sky above his head, which was not big - then who can tell me why the exit from the portal is a puddle of water?!
He straightened his legs and slipped out of the thin layer of water. The water poured out of the cracks in his leather armor with a "thud...... But he's become a soup chicken.
What made him speechless was that this pit was only the size of the mouth of the iron pot, and the water was just waist-deep - did I get retribution for losing too much pot? What made him even more speechless was that there was a young man with a lot of pimples on his face, just squatting on the edge of the pit and looking at him!
The young man was wearing half-chain armor, holding a short sword, and had a lean face. When he saw Shen Yan come out, he asked, "What are you doing in the pit?" ”
"Take a bath?" Shen Yan wiped the water on his face and replied.
"But the water stinks."
Shen Yan waved his hand disgustingly, "You're right, I know now." ”
The young man nodded, as if he understood you very well, and then he pulled out his short sword, rested it on Shen Yan's neck, and raised his voice and shouted.
"Captain! There's another deserter here! ”
*****
There is a reason why Shen Yan chose to leave the peninsula through the portal instead of returning to the sunken cathedral with the "Temple Return to the City" when he escaped - the reason is that you can't treat everyone else for stupidity.
Just as you can't expect the Goddess of the Sea and the Red Dragonman to fall apart as soon as they meet—and that would be the ideal situation—but the Goddess of the Sea is the boss of the world, and behind the Red Dragonmancer there are a variety of gods. In this case, as long as people with normal IQ know that meeting and starting a fight is a small probability event, and it is the normal way for everyone to sit down and talk about cooperation.
In the previous year, Shen Yan had gone back and forth between the church and Stormwind City three hundred times through the "Temple Return to the City" - each time he disappeared in place and appeared in place, it was impossible to hope that no trace would be found!
In the past, it did not affect the interests of others, and people can pretend not to see it...... Now that there is bilateral cooperation over there, Shen Yan will "return in place" again, and maybe he will run into the corpse guard group led by the legend head-on.
Can ...... now The situation doesn't seem to be rosy either.
A "deserter" like Shen Yan was actually caught as many as seven or eight in one go. Then they were gathered together and sandwiched between a group of soldiers and walked back.
The good news is that they have not been disarmed, and the resistance of these "deserters" is not very strong, except for verbal cursing, everyone is obedient in their actions...... It seems that these people are really deserters; And the bad news is that although the weapons and equipment have not been confiscated, each "deserter" is accompanied by a real soldier, who is closely guarded.
And guarding next to Shen Yan happened to be the young man with pimples on his face.
The team made their way through a field and into a sparse wood.
They pressed the hilts of their swords and tilted their heads up, and the dappled sunlight shone on the troops, making the heroic posture of this group of soldiers look very beautiful as they marched.
But Shen Yan felt that no one seemed to notice this. The atmosphere of the whole team was solemn and low - the "deserters" were silent, and the soldiers were thinking about their own thoughts...... Even the pimple young man around him was staring blankly at the back of the head of the person in front of him, not knowing what he was thinking.
He felt worse and worse...... How do I smell a breath of battle about to begin? No way! Hurry up and figure it out! He didn't want to get involved in a war for some reason, killing strangers on one side for the sake of strangers on the other.
"Hey, man, listen, I'm not ......" Shen Yan lowered his voice and beckoned the pimple youth, wanting to explain his situation and see if he could convince him to let him go.
As for why...... By my face, of course! Wait a minute! Shen Yan suddenly remembered that his current face was copied from the black cloak of a passerby......
In such a stunned moment, someone had already taken the lead - I heard the "deserter" in front of me say loudly, "Hey, man, listen, I'm not your deserter, I'm just passing by!" Do you understand? I'm not a soldier, you've caught the wrong person, hurry up and let me go, my wife is still waiting for me to come home for dinner!" ”
I'm rubbing, bastard! How did you say everything I wanted to say!
The captain, who was at the front of the line, stopped and let the group pass him until the man who spoke came to him. The captain was a burly middle-aged man, wearing half-length armor and a thick beard. "You said you were passing through? And what about your equipment? ”
"Own! Now there are demons everywhere, and whoever goes out doesn't bring a weapon. The man quickly explained.
"That's right," the captain nodded approvingly, "and the money is your own, too?" ”
"Of course! It's my hard-earned money. The man clutched the purse on his waist.
"I see, it seems that we have caught the wrong person...... Then you go. The captain waved his hand casually, signaling that he could go.
"Really let me go? …… Then I'm leaving! The man was skeptical at first, but after walking a few steps and finding that no one cared about him, he was overjoyed! A cat's waist and head into the woods! He didn't see that behind him, both soldiers and deserters looked at him with pity.
Before he could take a few steps, he heard a pop, followed by a pain in the back of his neck...... Looking at the deserter who was nailed to the tree, the captain turned his head coldly, slowly turned his bow behind him, and his gaze swept over several deserters, including Shen Yan, like a blade.
"Who else wants to go? Tell me. ”
Everyone was silent! "Keep going!" The captain said, and the man was nailed there, and no one took his equipment or purse from his waist...... The hidden meaning of this is not good!
*****
"By the way," the young man with pimples next to Shen Yan suddenly asked Shen Yan loudly, "What did you want to tell me just now?" The captain and the surrounding deserters looked at him with bad intentions.
Shen Yan was stunned at first, then shook his head helplessly, he cleared his throat and said loudly, "I want to tell you that you have eye feces that have not been wiped clean." ”
"Hahaha~!" The soldiers and deserters around laughed, and the young man with pimples hurriedly wiped his face, and then said angrily, "That's not what you were just going to tell me!" ”
Sample...... Shen Yan scoffed, I saw that you kid was not a good thing! Wilted, wilted!
"Did I mean that you ate Chinese cabbage at noon?" Shen Yan pointed to the vegetable leaves between his teeth and asked.
The laughter is even louder! The young man's face turned red, but Shen Yan still had to ignore and continued, "Or the ...... you have around your neck"
"Don't say it!" Now he was really anxious, and the pimples were red.
Shen Yan knew that he was amused, and raised his hands to indicate that he had shut up.
"Oh~~~" The surrounding soldiers began to coax, they actually knew that it was the engagement ring of the young man.
"What are you laughing at, you bastards! Wait and see, I'll go home and get married if I win this battle! The young man was anxious and said loudly without hesitation. Very good, Shen Yan nodded, young man, your flag is very good!
What Shen Yan didn't expect was that in the chaos, the captain actually leaned over and patted him on the shoulder, "You're good, I'll arrange a good position for you." He pointed to the bow and arrow that Shen Yan was carrying, "But you have to hurry up and wipe the water off the bow, it will have an impact." Then he looked at Shen Yan's half-wet leather armor, and he suddenly said, "I remembered, it turns out that you are the deserter hiding in the stinky puddle." ”
Nima, I can't talk properly yet!
After the laughter in front of the team, the atmosphere of the team became a little more lively - after all, this team is all young people in their twenties except for the captain. Once you start messing around, you can't stop at all. And the captain just looked at it with a smile from the side, and didn't step forward to stop it, his attitude made Shen Yan look furious!
This scene always reminded him of the good meal that the condemned prisoner had before he was beheaded!
When they walked onto the avenue, Shen Yan noticed that this was a main road that was already out of specification in this era! Stone pavement, gravel joints...... But even so, two deep rut marks were still pressed! This volume of transport ...... He saw that his heart was getting more and more hairy.
"We're coming." Just then, he heard the captain speak.
Shen Yan raised his head and saw that the sky and the earth were vast!
A 100-meter-high giant bluestone pass stands between the mountains!
