Chapter 377
"Guys, I'll go first, and I'll come back to see you when I have a chance." After waking up the next day, Xia Dong bowed deeply to the tombstone in front of him, and then with the dizziness in his head, he picked up his burden and left directly along the dirt road to the outside of the town.
The carriage and related items of the mercenary team have been sold under his introduction by Duke, and the belongings and weapons and armor of the mercenaries are buried with them, Xia Dong originally thought about leaving the carriage, but then he thought about it, his force value is so low, even if there is a carriage, he can't keep it, but it will become the target of others, so it is better to sell it together.
And the reason why he left immediately was that he was afraid that someone would target him, although the money in his hand had been almost spent, but people might not believe it, so it was better to leave early, so as not to cause trouble.
Walking hundreds of meters, he couldn't help but turn around again, silently looking at the cemetery under the noon sun, and the words that Fu Xueqin once said suddenly appeared in his ears.
Weakness itself is sin!
If only he still had the strength he had before, the three guys before could have disposed of it by themselves, and there would be no need to provoke the dead old man, let alone watch that nothing could be done, so he could only flee and pay tribute in disgrace.
Outside the town of Barus, in the public cemetery, the day after Xia Dong left, at night.
Under the crystal moonlight, a withered arm with pale skin and corpse spots suddenly landed gently on the wooden plaque left by Xia Dong, and a mournful voice like a night owl sounded low, "What kind of text is this?" Why have I never seen one? ”
Be quiet for a moment, "Look at this wooden plaque, it looks like someone made it himself, well, the breath is very light, at least he has been away for a day, forget it, don't care, it's important to get down to business." ”
As the words ended, the mound in front of him suddenly began to tremble silently, gradually increasing in amplitude, until then it was as if some unknown monster was rolling underground, causing the entire ground to begin to rise and fall, and with the shaking, the dirt on the mound slowly parted to both sides, revealing the delicate sarcophagus underneath.
There was a stiff grinding sound, and the lid of the coffin, which had been carefully sealed, actually rose towards the coffin automatically, and then slid open from the side, revealing a charred and slender armored corpse inside.
"Tsk, what a perfect body, so full of divinity, oh, and this kind and immaculate soul, combined with resentment that goes deep into the bone marrow, how perfect it is! My Death Knight, your master has come to wake you up, rest assured, the anger and repression in your heart will be released, and you can return all the injustices you have suffered to this world, and I have given you so much, all you need is to pay a little loyalty, and you will ......."
The cold wind howled across the rugged and rugged mountains, bare unknown trees could be seen everywhere on both sides of the road, dead grass was blown by the wind, revealing dry and blackened soil, and between the large rocks of different shapes, from time to time there were small animals that Xia Dong could not name.
Alone on the road again, he walked alone in this barren and uninhabited mountain, for fear of being watched, he did not dare to take the relatively safe route through Mersin City, but chose the perennially sparsely populated Blackstone Trail, which is a shortcut through the entire Blackstone Mountains.
With a vague future, he prepares to travel to Melwater, the capital of the kingdom, and chooses there for two reasons.
First: He wanted to inform their families of the news of Rui Qiu and the others, and if he didn't lose it, he could also hand over the three Golden Emperors he had saved to them, although it was not much, but it was also a huge amount of money for civilians.
Second: As a populous and well-informed capital, it may be impossible to say where you can find out about her parents and Hua Wei.
But the road is very long, and he does not have the confidence to go on alone and safely, after all, there are countless monsters and robbers of all kinds in this world, according to his plan, as long as he crosses the Blackstone Mountains and reaches Ramchel City, he will find a way to find a caravan to Mervat to join, and he can eat and live in it for free and ensure safety.
Presumably, across the Paraulwe River and the Blackstone Mountains, it is impossible for anyone else to continue to stare at such a little person as himself and the little money on him, right?
Looking up at the already dark sky, he found a more sheltered and dry place, and according to the skills he learned from the mercenaries, he lit a bonfire, and then baked the bread he carried to soften, and solved the problem of dinner by the clear spring that came from the mountain.
Filling his stomach, he leaned against the big stone behind him, stared at the dancing flames with a faint gaze, and continued to think about his own problems in his heart.
When I was shrouded by the magic of the black-clothed old warlock before, when I was about to die, what was the warm energy that appeared from my body?
And when he was in Wikicity, how did he recover from his injuries inexplicably?
He had a feeling that as long as he could find out the reason for this, he would probably be able to recover at least some of his abilities without being as embarrassed as he is now.
Although Xia Dong is now very comfortable with the fact that he is already an ordinary person, the encounter in this world for more than a month has made him yearn for strength all the time, longing for strength that he didn't attach too much importance to before.
If he could go back to the past now, he would definitely try his best to reforge the Little World Realm every day, until he became as strong as Qianye Lingzi!
No, that's not enough, if you give yourself another chance, you must continue to get stronger, until you can really control your own destiny, really get, no longer threatened by anyone, and really protect yourself and the people around you!
With this in mind, he lay down, looked at the starry sky, wrapped himself in a blanket, and slowly fell asleep......
Early the next morning, when the morning sun sprinkled on Xia Dong's face, he had already woken up automatically, the past month had made him develop the habit of getting up early, in fact, if he was still doing miscellaneous work in the mercenary team, he should have made breakfast at this time, and waited for everyone to get up and eat when they packed the bedding and other things and put them back on the carriage.
Reminiscing about the old days, he sat up, tossed a few times in the fading campfire, and when the fire grew again, he toasted soft bread, and ate a full meal with water, and from now on, until the fire was lit at night, he would not stop cooking, he was used to the life of two meals a day.
In this world, only nobles can eat three meals a day, which is very simple and realistic to illustrate the sorrow of the common people!
The rugged and winding mountain road has no end in sight, the uneven road is very difficult to walk, despite the cold wind, Xia Dong still walked out of the sweat, he has only now reached the middle of the Black Rock Mountains, and it will take at least three days, maybe four days, to reach Ramcel, depending on how difficult the road behind is.
"Hey, human kid over there, stand still!" A rough voice with a strange feeling suddenly came from the side.
Xia Dong was immediately taken aback, he looked up at the hill above the left, and finally understood where the weirdness came from, only to see that on a large white stone three meters square, there was actually a humanoid monster with gray skin, a figure of about one meter eight, but a waist circumference of at least twice his own.
Goblins!
Just seeing the two huge fangs protruding from his mouth on the other party's humanoid face, Xia Dong had a thought flashing on the spot.
A fool will really have to stand still, if you don't run at this time, when will you wait?
So he immediately spread his legs and ran forward, but before he had run two steps, he had to obediently stop.
It turned out that there were a dozen or so such monsters on the hills on both sides, and most of them were armed with bows and arrows, aiming at themselves.
Secretly estimated that Xia Dong didn't think that he could outrun the arrow, besides, an arrow could still fight the other party's level, so much was a test of his character.
"My lord, what do you command?" He once heard Athena say that these humanoid monsters have a not low IQ, and they especially like to listen to compliments, so the desperate Xia Dong had to squeeze out twelve points of enthusiasm and try to get by.
If you don't accept it, you can't be soft, these robbers in front of you are not humans, just take some money, if you anger them, they will eat people!
