Chapter Fifty-Eight: The Linxi Family
Chapter Fifty-Eight: The Linxi Family
A red and yellow desert, the wind swept in the desert with sand grains, the whining sound of the wind, faintly revealing a trace of coldness, in this somewhat desolate place, as far as the eye can see, it is almost difficult to find a human figure, some, just the endless wind and sand and the sound of the wind howling.
The wind blew through a pale yellow weed in the desert, and the weeds bent down, and a black lizard crawled quickly.
In the middle of this desert, a luxurious carriage is leading the way slowly, and there are many vehicles around, which looks like a large convoy.
Arthur was now sitting in a carriage slightly behind, driving a cart full of goods.
There are dozens of guards around the convoy, which shows that the owner of this car dealership has a good background.
Ten days have passed since the battle between Arthur and Mu Xing, and during these ten days, Arthur has been walking aimlessly eastward, and his agreement with his grandfather will be reported to the Bosh family a year later. Other than that, it doesn't matter where you want to go. If the strongest talent is nested at home every day, it will be too bad.
Mu Xing is a normal textbook, he has reached the strength of the limit of a first-level warlock, and he can break through to a second-level warlock at any time, but he has been pressing his own level, wanting to go all over the continent and fight with other first-level warlocks to the limit. There is only one purpose, stronger!
On the third day, Arthur came to a small town under the pseudonym Xiao Wu, and happened to meet a mission to "Pool City" that was being issued by the union.
Fifty guards were recruited urgently, and each guard could get a silver coin as a reward, which was not a low price, just to escort the safety of the master's house to give such a high price, which made many young samurai rush to it.
Some of the older generation of samurai seniors looked worried. I feel that this escort mission will not be as easy as I imagined.
Originally, the steward of the master's family was reluctant to hire a "little child" like Arthur who was too young to be a guard, thinking that this kind of hairy boy could have any skills.
Later, the eldest lady of the owner's family took pity on the life of such a young child, so she hired Arthur as a groom and was responsible for taking care of the eldest lady's life along the way. Arthur has never done the work of serving tea and water in his previous and present lives combined, and he has been clumsy in the past few days, and has been reprimanded by the maids beside the eldest lady every day, which makes Arthur so angry that he wants to quit.
Poor Arthur just wanted to follow the back of their butts and beat the soy sauce, and now he was a miscellaneous.
Depressed, Arthur could only hide far behind and silently steer the carriage.
"Camp~"
A high-pitched voice rang out at the front of the procession, and an oasis was not far away. Arthur jumped out of the car and twisted his arm slightly, his bones crackling, and he was exhausted from a day's ride.
The vehicles covered by the cloth stopped one after another, and everyone began to prepare to drag the carriage into the oasis to resist the wind and sand, and the mercenaries on the periphery began to make some traps around the oasis and sprinkle some mosquito repellent powder.
"Little Wu, go pick up some firewood" A deep voice came from the mouth of a big man, who was a little strong, and had a hideous beast tattooed on his arm. According to him, this is a monster that has caused trouble in the world, his name is E, and his demon power is monstrous. Not even a third-level warlock and several second-level warlocks combined could not stop it.
Behind him, a ghost-headed broadsword glowed with a chill, and there were a few traces of blood on it.
This is the chief of the guard of the master's family, Arthur doesn't know what his real name is, only that everyone calls him Brother Knife.
Don't look at his fierce and vicious appearance, in fact, he is not bad, and he is quite honest. When I heard that Arthur, a half-grown boy, actually came out to be a mercenary, I admired him very much and took care of him.
He was not allowed to keep vigil, nor was he allowed to do heavy work. It's just that Arthur was arranged to collect firewood and bring tea and water to the eldest lady.
It was getting dark, and Brother Dao took a few brothers around him to patrol back and forth and arrange for the whistle. And discussed the arming with a few older mercenaries.
Arthur was sadly urged by a maid to go to the waterhole in the oasis to fetch water to boil water, as if the delicate lady wanted to take a bath.
These six or seven days of getting along made Arthur understand the identity of the eldest lady, according to Brother Dao, they are from the Linxi family in Chizhou, or the famous local warlock family.
"Warlock family?" Arthur's gaze involuntarily turned to one of the many vehicles, which was significantly more spacious and luxurious than the others.
Arthur could obviously feel the three breaths, the breath was not strong, but it could also reach the peak level of a first-level warlock. Of course, there was an aura that was stronger than the three of them, and Arthur did not miss it...... The eldest lady of the Linxi family, Mooy Linxi.
In the most luxurious carriage in the convoy, there was a faint fragrance coming out.
"Squeak~" sound.
The closed carriage suddenly opened slowly, and a slender and round jade leg appeared in Arthur's eyes.
The young and beautiful woman slowly stepped out of the carriage with light steps. The woman's eyebrows are like willows, her skin is like snow, she is tall, and she is wearing a gorgeous purple shirt, and under the purple shirt, the bumpy figure is extraordinarily plump, and the only regret is that the woman's cheeks will always have a trace of indifference, and there is a sense of coldness in the beautiful eyes.
In the moonlight, Miss Mooy seemed to have just bathed, so her slightly fluffy blonde hair spread out with a little moisture, which seemed to give her a more feminine feeling.
As soon as this woman appeared, many eyes around her immediately focused on her body without accident, and in these eyes, there was a strange heat, and more of a sense of awe.
The woman is only twenty-eight graceful, Xu is a little sensitive to the gaze of others, and then snorted coldly in dissatisfaction. Brother Dao woke up in an instant.
With a loud shout, he raised his ghost head knife with both hands and slashed at a boulder in front of him.
"Qiang ......"
The boulder was split into two in an instant, and the power of this knife attracted everyone's attention, and Brother Dao scolded in a deep voice: "Damn, hurry up and warn Lao Tzu." What do you hire for food? ”
Hearing Brother Dao's shouts, everyone immediately dispersed, reinforcing the defenses and secret posts of the camp, and did not dare to look at Miss Moy again.
The two beautiful maids beside her immediately used an iron rod to take a tin box from the campfire, and took out a can of fruit from the carriage in the back carriage, and Arthur saw that the sealed glass can had his family's label on it.
I know that it is my own product, and I praise my dad for his wit!
"Canned food came out so early!"
The maid insulated herself with a handkerchief, opened the tin box, and a strong fragrance overflowed.
"It's porridge!" Arthur asked as he sniffed out the moment the tin box was opened, and immediately heard his stomach "protest" against the coarse tea and light rice of the past few days.
There is no way, when you go out, you come to this desert wilderness, and you can't buy food even if you have money.
On this trip, Arthur only brought two sets of change of clothes, which he used in his backpack. As for money, dry food, they were all stored in heirlooms hanging around his neck.
This heirloom is a pair of semi-circular jade, Arthur has one of them, and the other half is in the hands of his father. According to Daddy, this semi-circular jade was obtained by the ancestors of the Snow family at a great cost.
A drop of blood will recognize the master, and the two pieces of jade can be combined into one, and the combination of yin and yang can exert the original power of the jade. But...... It is also useful after separation. The Yang piece not only contains more than 100 square meters of space, but also can feel the approximate location of Yin, which is another reason why Reynolds is relieved that Arthur is alone.
And the piece of yin jade worn by Arthur, although he can't feel the position of the yang, but there is also a space of about 100 square meters, which can be used to survive and die, but there is no air in it, and it will not take long for the living creatures to die, which is also a magic weapon to defeat the enemy. Secondly, in the space attached to the jade bi, Arthur's mother, Nina, stored all kinds of precious elixirs. There was so much stock that Arthur felt that he had been killed and injured hundreds of times.
But her old mother ignored a point...... That is forgetting to put some food on yourself. Although the gold coins are piled up into a small mountain, the gold coins cannot be eaten!
After the two maids put Miss Mu's food in the carriage, Miss Mu, who stayed outside, said lightly: "Everyone has worked hard across the desert today, and I will go to Dao Na to get a bottle of canned fruit later, which is my reward for everyone." ”
After that, she didn't stay long, Lianbu moved lightly, walked into the carriage, and wanted to start eating.
"Yay~ There is canned food to eat, thank you, Miss" The camp immediately erupted in deafening cheers. Canned fruit is readily available, but it's not cheap. The guards of the Linxi family are better, and they can often be rewarded by the lord's family. And most of these mercenaries who often hang their heads on their waists are from poor backgrounds, and they are reluctant to eat canned fruit even if it is the New Year, so they can't be excited!
Arthur was also given a bottle of canned food, looking at the can in his hand and couldn't help but feel bitter in his heart, rewarding himself with his own things?
"Hehe, how is it, are you fascinated by Miss?" When Arthur looked at the canned fruit in his hand in a daze, Brother Dao, who had finished distributing the cans, was next to Arthur, poured a sip of wine, and teased in a low voice.
Arthur looked dazed, and then shook his head with a smile.
"Don't be embarrassed, in my Linxi family, as long as you are under the age of twenty-five, who can escape the charm of Miss?"
Brother Dao poured another sip of wine and laughed. The laughter was full of helplessness, and it seemed that he also seemed to have a trace of affection for Miss Mu.
They also understand that this kind of good thing will not come to them. The eldest lady reached the pinnacle of a first-class warlock at a young age, and her talent even the old lady was amazed. With the identity of us guards, thinking about that, there is no doubt that the toad wants to eat swan meat!"
Arthur nodded slightly, although he didn't know how strong the Linxi family was, but no matter what, as the eldest lady of the Linxi family, Mu Yi's status was of course much higher than these guards. These young guards, who are in love with Mooy, may only end up sad.
"But the eldest lady is really nice, and often rewards us with some good things, although she is usually more strict, but she has nothing to say about us'own family'. For example, the money is much more generous than that of ordinary large families, even if the family's guards are injured, she will take the initiative to help. Brother Dao drank several sips of wine in a row, as if he was a little drunk, and said a lot to Arthur about Miss Mooy, as well as the generous treatment of the Linxi family.
"Xiao Wu, otherwise, if you join our Linxi family, it's much better than being a mercenary, and it's better to be stable. You look so white, you can please your daughter-in-law and children in the future, and live a life. ”
Arthur was stunned, and finally understood why Brother Dao said so much to him. With a wry smile, I was thinking about how to refuse. But suddenly a fine light burst out of his eyes, "Someone!"
"Little Wu, what are you thinking about? If you want, I'll go and talk to the eldest lady early tomorrow morning. "Brother Dao is a little long-winded, but he also has good intentions, and Arthur is not dissatisfied.
casually made up a lie, and persuaded him a few words before sending Brother Dao away. Arthur breathed a sigh of relief, looked at the back of Brother Dao's departure, and pondered quietly.
Obviously, there are more than thirty family guards and three first-class warlocks, why do you still hire fifty mercenaries?
Looking at the camp that had become quiet, Arthur had to shake his head helplessly, and the person who came was not aimed at him, so he didn't need to worry. Simply found a broken quilt to lie on the floor, he will not have insomnia because of the bed recognition as he did when he first came out. His own rich and noble illness is much better.
"When we get to Chicheng, we can separate from them. ”
