Chapter 2: Disaster is at hand
"Good afternoon! Huang Jie! "When I woke up from a small bedroom in the afternoon, the grocer Hans, a grocer with a full beard. Adenauer greeted him.
The language of this world is inherently different from all the languages on earth, but the system gives Huang Jie the ability to speak the local language as a reward for newbies.
When Huang Jie had nowhere to stay after using the secret secrets indiscriminately, it was this very powerful and majestic man who took him in and provided him with food and lodging for the past three days.
"Give!" Huang Jie didn't say much, and immediately handed him a silver coin, and Hans Ke became a little panicked: "No, I just took you in out of local hospitality, so I don't need to thank you." β
Is it hospitable? Why is it that all I see here is white eyes except for your enthusiasm? Huang Jie sighed: "Since you and I are friends, this is just a mutual help of friends, don't care!" β
"It's too precious! Well, since it's your kindness. Hans nodded and accepted it, and asked curiously, "When I found you, you must have no money, right?" β
"My God has just given me a fortune." Huang Jie said casually, this somewhat mythical world is different from the earth, and the nonsense of "God's gift" can be believed.
And strictly speaking, Huang Jie didn't lie, the system is such a magical thing, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a "god".
"Is it Mr. Hans?" Suddenly, seven or eight city guard soldiers in full clothes came outside, which made Huang Jie and Hans a little surprised, as the owner of a small shop on the street, what relationship could they have with the city guard?
"Is there something wrong?"
"Yes, your daughter ......," said one of them, and the two of them immediately paid a little attention, Hans's daughter Elisabeth. Adenauer went to the market to buy something, but he didn't come back for a while.
This man Rory explained for a long time before he realized that Elizabeth had rammed the horse of a battalion commander of the city guard in the market, and the horse was frightened and accidentally bumped into the battalion commander who was eating at the stall at the time.
Not to mention the damage to the battalion commander, but also the destruction of the battalion commander's own precious utensils and ingredients, the battalion commander has decided to let this girl be his concubine to compensate, and now this group of people is actually just here to inform.
"Which battalion commander?" Hans asked with a very ugly face.
"Battalion Commander Abdul."
Hans's face is even more ugly, this Abdul has tortured two concubines to death, all of them are beautiful women he has robbed by all kinds of tricks and robberies, Elizabeth is going to become the third?
The two went straight to Abdul's barracks, and before they could reach Hans, they heard Elizabeth screaming in panic: "Help! Help me! I don't want ......"
Then I saw that the frightened Elizabeth had been tied up like a brown child, her hair was scattered over her shoulders, two lines of tears flowed through her delicate face, and there was a bloody mark on her face that had been whipped by a leather whip, slanting from the corner of her eyes to the corner of her mouth.
Good guy, no wonder you can abuse two concubines to death! This hasn't passed the door yet, and the whips are all drawn? Where is it not easy to smoke, but it is actually smoked in the face? What a beautiful woman!
"Stop!!" Hans was furious, and his eyes were full of fire, which was really a bit powerful.
Huang Jie heard Hans say that his ancestors were originally bandits in the desert, and he himself had some strong combat effectiveness, and it was not a problem for one person to fight more than a dozen city guard soldiers.
However, that only refers to a dozen ordinary low-level soldiers, the establishment of the city guard, a battalion can have five hundred soldiers, and the battalion commander may not lose him, not to mention that there are magicians in the city guards, and he is the most afraid of mages.
Of course, this is a military camp, and it is not a blatant violation of the law for both sides, and the other party only arrogantly claims that Elizabeth has caused him how he has caused damages, and needs to be compensated.
"You say, did you pay for such a loss from a small grocery store?" The battalion commander with a meaty face said menacingly, and the two pieces of meat on his face jumped and jumped when he spoke.
Hans was still arguing there, but it was obviously impossible to be useful, and Huang Jie finally ran after arguing for a while, but he knew that it was useless to quarrel after listening to a few words of quarrel, and if he continued to argue, it might be serious, so he asked: "How much does this girl need to compensate you?" β
"Three Aliel!" The battalion commander replied that Aliel was the common currency of the region, that is, the kind of silver coin that Huang Jie had just entered.
Without hesitation, he took out three silver coins and handed them out, Abdul's face was full of disbelief, in this world of gold and silver scarcity, silver coins are extremely precious, and he really couldn't believe that the weak-looking big boy in front of him would be so rich.
However, after checking the authenticity, they had to admit that they were indeed three genuine silver coins, which made the entire barracks stunned.
Although his face was full of anger and unwillingness, Abdul had no choice but to let him go, but Huang Jie could see his full anger at a glance, and even when the three of them turned to leave, they had a feeling of needles pricked in their backs.
Back at the shop, Hans began to comfort his crying daughter, but Huang Jie, who was a little nervous, felt that now was not the time to do such a thing.
"Elizabeth, I ask you, how did you scare that horse?" Huang Jie asked.
This tall and plump girl is half a head taller than Huang Jie, and her body is also a set larger, but at this time she is pitiful like a frightened little animal, Huang Jie asked her, and she replied very honestly: "I accidentally fell and touched that horse." β
"Fall? Why did it fall? Is the road to the bazaar potholed? Stones everywhere? Or did someone push you? β
"The road to the market is very smooth, but I just fell...... Something tripped over my leg, hard. β
"Did you hurt the horse with a knife, a needle, or something else?"
"No, I just accidentally slapped it...... In fact, it was the hand pressed on the horse. β
Huang Jie pondered for a few seconds, and then said to the father and daughter: "Hurry up and pack up, I'm with you two, we're going to escape!" β
Escape? Where to run? The father and daughter looked at each other, not understanding what Huang Jie's words meant.
"I mean to escape from this oasis and go to other oasis cities, bring anything particularly important at home, and leave the rest behind, now we have two camels, hurry up and buy a few more, prepare more dry food and water......"
The camel breeds in this world are stronger and hard-working than the camels on the earth that have solid endurance, and what Huang Jie said is also general common sense, if you really want to go away.
But the question is, why do you need to do this!? His words frightened both father and daughter, and they had not taken the matter so seriously in their minds.
"Today's thing is a good game! Still don't understand!? Huang Jie smiled helplessly.
"Okay, why did something trip her? It's either a stick or a gun, and it's so easy to be frightened by a war horse? As for what kind of precious utensils it is, it is probably a broken crockpot! That Abdul looks like he was injured again? β
"But isn't this already settled?" Hans asked weakly.
"Solved!?" Huang Jie's hand trembled and pointed at Hans, he couldn't wait to slap him a few times in his face, how could he be so naΓ―ve when he was so old?
People can set up a game, this is already eyeing your daughter, looking at Abdulna's look, obviously she will never give up, and she will definitely play other means! You also told me that your wife died early, and this one daughter depends on each other, so you don't want her life?
Huang Jie took out the last silver coin and said: "The wealth that God has given me is only five alel, that is to say, you and I only have two silver coins in total now, and if you sell all your existing property, you can probably sell one and a half aliels, right?" β
"If you are in a hurry to get rid of it, you can't sell a single Aliel." Hans nodded.
"Okay, what if someone sets up another bureau and blackmails you for thirty silver coins? What if people play in a different way, directly accuse you of murder, arrest you on the charge of treason, and then get your daughter? β
Hans's face turned red and white for a while, and then he whispered, "There are terrifying giant scorpions and man-eating insects in the desert...... There are terrible quicksands, and the food and water we bring with us are probably not enough to reach another oasis city, and we have to resupply in a small oasis, and there are robbers in those kinds of places, and my ancestors are such robbers......"
What a fool who loves the land! The dangers you mentioned, they are all just possible, caravans in the desert, explorers come and go, and there is no one in a hundred that you really encounter, and now the catastrophe is just around the corner!
I'm willing to take the risk of walking with you with such a small body, why are you two hesitating? But after persuading for a long time, the two of them still couldn't make up their minds, there was no way, Huang Jie had to give up persuasion,
In fact, Huang Jie is also very dangerous now, even if no one noticed him before, since he took out three silver coins, he has been on someone else's menu.
So leave alone...... No, that's not in Huang Jie's consideration, he is too weak alone in this dangerous world, and it's not good to be ungrateful, dump them and leave.
"System, how can I cultivate to become stronger?" Huang Jie asked, no matter what, you have said such a lofty word as "Heavens and Ten Thousand Worlds", I always have to gradually become stronger.
"Cultivation? You don't necessarily have to cultivate, for example, in the superhero world, you will be shocked by electricity, bitten by insects, and take the wrong medicine...... It's also powerful. β
"No matter what method is used? What can I do to become stronger? β
"Powerful methods require you to travel to different worlds to find, and this system does not provide you with the ability to travel through energy and secret inputs."
So, how can I start my first spiritual journey? Wait, Huang Jie's spirit looked inwardly at a small hourglass in the brain domain, and he had noticed it when he first activated the system.
The sand in the upper part of the hourglass kept flowing towards the lower half, but it was very slow, and Huang Jie immediately understood that when the sand all flowed down, it was a crossing, and now the sand in the hourglass was almost half gone.
