Chapter 25: Reason

Hearing the cold voice of the carriage behind her, the girl in the green dress was startled, she thought that this convoy was just a woman, looking at these guards, she experienced the vicious words of those mercenaries, in order to protect herself, she would say such words to Yue Yi, but she didn't expect that there was a woman behind her, and her heart suddenly calmed down.

The guards in front of him cast a self-begging glance at Yue Yi, and Yue Yi also smiled bitterly, and then shouted at the team in front: "Miss order, camp on the spot." ”

The copper fat man and his guards found a relatively flat sand area and set up camp, and sprinkled some medicinal powders around the sand, these white medicinal powders have no taste to humans. But for the creatures here, it is undoubtedly a very pungent smell, and it is generally avoided by them. This also reduces the risk of being attacked by some of the indigenous creatures here.

When night falls, the desert is still desolate, but compared to the day, the desert in the dark seems to be cooler, but looking at the darkness around will also make people unconsciously fall into fear.

The crowd divided into seven teams in an orderly manner, lit bonfires, and began to bring out food and water. Except for Mo Ye and Copper Fat Man, the other four guards of the seventh team are all breathing and healing, after all, they have experienced a battle today, and if they don't recover as soon as possible, then it will lower the strength of the entire team.

It was the copper fat man, who was very generous and divided the two sand pythons into six parts and distributed them to the rest of the team, it seems that the copper fat man was also afraid of the eldest lady, so he directly spared it, and there was no share of Yue Yi's team. Then he smiled and said: "I said that you guys don't know how to live, and if you can save materials, you can save them, and there are still ingredients in this desert." Men, eating snake meat once in a while is also good for the body. ”

All the guards nodded one after another, this copper fat man is still relatively experienced, and being able to eat fresh snake meat in this desert can be regarded as a very enjoyable thing.

The girl in the green dress was like Yue Yi before, she was gobbling up dry food, and when the food got stuck in her throat, she patted her chest with her hand with a slight arc, and then poured a mouthful of water into it, and swallowed the food with difficulty with her eyes closed.

She hadn't eaten for a day and a night, and her physical strength and energy were consumed a lot in the process of escaping, and being able to eat at this time was undoubtedly a long drought and a rainy day, completely ignoring the woman's reserve.

The guards around them were all eating quietly, and no one spoke. Although I don't know why the Yue guards who led the team on this trip were so reckless to fight against the mercenaries, even if the strength was stronger than the other party, but one side and the other, there would be more dangers in the future, and they couldn't save people when they saw them, they had doubts in their hearts, but no one asked first.

The girl in the green dress pursed her lips, as if she remembered her grandfather again, tears appeared in her eyes again, and her eyes looked at the bonfire with dull eyes, not knowing what to think again.

"Ahem. ”

Yue Yi coughed lightly, interrupting the girl's thoughts, and then asked, "Little girl, what is your name, why were you chased and killed by the mercenaries?"

Everyone pricked up their ears, they also wanted to know something about this girl, and no one wanted to take a person of unknown origin to look for medicine, even if the other party was only a fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl.

The girl came back to her senses and saw that everyone was paying attention to herself, so she said timidly: "My name is Green Core, and I am from Wastestone City. When I learned that the barren forest in Araki City was opened, I came with my grandfather to explore the treasure, but unfortunately I found nothing. ”

It turned out that he was not from this city, but it is said that Arashi City is also three hundred miles away from Araki City. But it's also credible, after all, it's not just Wastestone City, there are still people coming from farther away, and it's a good choice to come here in a team.

Green Core said gloomily: "Because of the perennial war in Wastestone City, my parents left when I was very young, leaving me and my grandfather to rely on each other. Although my grandfather is a strong man in the copper realm, but my strength is low, in order to let me live a worry-free life, he replaced all his belongings with coiled goods, and teamed up all the way over. ”

"But after a month of searching, we found nothing, but there was not much left of the entanglement, so we had no choice but to team up with the wolves and enter the desert to explore treasures. The girl continued, and then her tone gradually became angry: "But when we went into the middle of the desert, we found a sand city, and we searched all the places in it, and found nothing, but I accidentally picked up a wooden box, and at first the wolf haters did not care. ”

Yue Yi suddenly interjected and said, "Since you don't care, why would I chase and kill you for this wooden box later?"

"Because we didn't find anything magical about the wooden box at the time, and then on the way back, we encountered a sandstorm, and no matter how we escaped, we were still caught in the sandstorm. Green Core said, holding the green skirt tightly with both hands.

Everyone thought about it, it must have been very dangerous at that time, and it was generally difficult to survive if they were caught in a sandstorm, unless there was a high-level beast similar to sand-eyed to be able to withstand the sandstorm.

"But fortunately, everyone who was close to me and my grandfather was safe and sound, and the other five people were swept away along with three low-level alien beasts because they ran too fast, and their whereabouts are unknown. Then the wolf and the others demanded compensation from us for damages, but we couldn't come up with the money, so he said to give him the wooden box, but we didn't agree, and then what happened next. After the green core finished speaking, his eyes dimmed again.

Yue Yi took out the wooden box that the girl hadn't picked up just now, it seemed that there was a seal on the wooden box, and no one could open it, but such a small box could have the magical effect of resisting the sandstorm, then this was simply the treasure in the desert.

The surrounding guards all looked at the small wooden box in Yue Yi's hand, and they were slightly envious in their hearts, and they took the initiative to take action when they knew it. Such a treasure, at the auction, it is estimated that the price is not much better than Shayan, and it is indeed worry-free to take it out and sell it in this life. However, since it was Yue Yi who saved him, in order to repay the kindness, they only had envy.

It's just that in the stunned eyes of everyone, Yue Yi handed the wooden box to Green Core again, and said with a light smile: "I just said that this is a relic left to you by your grandfather, it can make you worry about food and clothing in this life, so you should accept it." ”

The girl took the wooden box in a daze, she didn't expect Yue Yi to refuse to accept it when she learned the value of this treasure, and she didn't know what expression to make.

Miss Fu on the side looked at Yue Yi with great interest, she was pampered a lot, and naturally saw a lot of treasures, but Yue Yi seemed to be a beggar before, and he was actually unmoved in the face of this treasure, this is the money he can't earn as a personal guard for a lifetime, this purple-robed young man is indeed a little different.

As if worried about the green core's nonsense, Yue Yi said helplessly: "You don't have to have any psychological burden, since we saved you, we won't leave you halfway, it's just that our trip is dangerous, so we may not be able to guarantee your safety." If you choose to continue to follow us, then be mentally prepared. Besides, if I accept the treasure, what difference will it be with the wolf and the others?"

Green Core nodded heavily, she didn't expect the purple-robed young man in front of her to be so magnanimous, and there was a brilliant flash in his eyes.

At the moment when everyone was quiet, a discordant voice suddenly sounded: "Hmph, you are kind, but how can you lead the team in the future, do you disregard the safety of your own family in order to save people? As the personal guard of the eldest lady, do you have a sense of responsibility to leave her without permission?"

Yue Yi shook his head, the person who spoke didn't need to think about it to know that it was Fu Lie, only Fu Lie dared to speak out. In the face of Fu Lie's questioning, Yue Yi generously admitted: "I am indeed incompetent, but as the personal guard of the eldest lady, presumably the eldest lady does not want her guard to be a cold-blooded person." The lesser of two evils, I will naturally choose to save people. Being grateful to others and recognized by the eldest lady is undoubtedly the best of both worlds for me, so why can't I be kind?"

"You ......" Fu Lie didn't expect Yue Yi to be so sharp-tongued, he immediately stood up, walked over, took a deep breath, and then said: "Forget about saving people, you actually went out and killed them all, do you know that this will damage our combat strength, and in the end, it actually led to the Blood Van Sand Python." ”

"Because Grandpa Greencore said one word to me before he died, I made up my mind to kill them. ”

"What word?" Fu Lie asked, frowning.

The rest of the people also wanted to know what the grandfather of the green core said to Yue Yi, so that the original decision to let the wolf and the others go turned into a slaughter.

"Bing. Yue Yi said lightly.

"That's it?"

"That's it!"

"What is the magic of this word, which can make you choose to sacrifice your combat power to kill the wolf and the others for this word, and you also decided to deviate from the original route and take a long detour? Do you know that we have limited supplies?" Fu Lie said dissatisfied.

The rest of the guards were confused, and they didn't know why this word made Yue Yi make such a decision, but Miss Fu on the side was thoughtful, and then looked at Yue Yi on the side, Yue Yi happened to look at the eldest lady too, and the two nodded tacitly.

"If you understand, you understand, if you don't understand, you don't understand, just do what I say. Yue Yi said unhurriedly.

Fu Lie looked at Yue Yi's casual attitude, his heart was on fire, and he couldn't help but teach the purple-robed kid in front of him a lesson.

"Uncle Fu Lie, go back, grandpa has explained, Yue Yi is in charge of everything. Miss Fu saw that the atmosphere was not right, and immediately spoke out to stop it.

"Hmph" Fu Lie glanced coldly at Yue Yi, who had a calm face, and waved his sleeve robe back to his place.

"Green Core, did you meet anyone on the road with your grandfather before?" At this time, Yue Yi fiddled with the bonfire and asked casually.
