Chapter 17: Target Dragon Valley

The two horses galloped quickly across the wilderness under the guidance of the groom, and sitting in the carriage did not have the sense of solidity of an airship, but the feeling of being grounded was much better than the feeling of being empty.

Ke Zhou, Xiao Liu, and the young dragon Beibei, and the spirit bird Bai Yu sat together in the car. Several people looked at Ke Zhou with some curiosity, after all, after listening to Xiao Liu talk about the reason why Ke Zhou came here, they had a lot of questions about his analysis and behavioral habits, and even their entire past world.

"You just talk about it, and you won't lose a piece of meat. Xiao Liu arched the fire while shielding the sound in the car from the outside. He was the one who was most interested in Ke Zhou, whether it was his quick understanding of the formation, or his terrifying on-the-spot adaptability, or his thinking and judgment, Xiao Liu was very surprised.

And among these things, what surprised Xiao Liu the most was Ke Zhou's familiarity with this world. According to him, he came from a completely different world, and he was suddenly summoned here, and it was impossible for him to adapt to the environment here so quickly, but Ke Zhou did it easily.

"How the hell did you do that? I think even the elite on our side, with the support of magic and powerful flesh, have a hard time adapting quickly to different environments. Xiao Liu looked at Ke Zhou with such a question, which was also the most incomprehensible thing for him.

At this moment, even Beibei's eyes widened and waited for Ke Zhou's answer - Ke Zhou didn't expect Xiao Liu to tell Ke Zhou everything from being summoned to being attacked in the palace and then to the airship like telling a joke to this young dragon named Beibei. Can you do whatever you want if you are cute?

"Yes, yes, Brother Ke Zhou, can you talk about it?" Beibei put his two little hands in front of him, clenched them like cat's paws, and winked at Ke Zhou, looking really like a docile kitten. Although he knew that this action was secretly instructed by Xiao Liu, after really seeing it, Ke Zhou, a person who didn't talk to women all year round, was still instantly attacked.

I'm sorry, but being cute means being able to do whatever you want.

Ke Zhou cleared his throat, as if caught in some kind of memory. The process was very short, and after only a few seconds, Ke Zhou began to tell his story slowly:

"I was born in a world where there was relative peace, no war, no Warcraft, no magic, and even few mercenary warriors. Yes, it is a world that is completely different from yours, and relies on the study of the rules of the world itself. ”

Speaking of this, Ke Zhou suddenly realized that in fact, the two worlds were no different. The so-called magic is just a "technology" unique to this world, and his body is only incompatible with magic because it is something brought by the world in which he lives. Perhaps, the so-called "magic" of this world is just a kind of "technology"?

Ke Zhou didn't continue to think about it, it was too early for him to think about these things. He shook his head and looked at the other two...... Or the questioning eyes of a person, a dragon and a bird, continued:

"Yes, in such a relatively peaceful world and country, why do you acquire these skills...... The answer is simple, it's just because of some people. ”

"No matter what kind of world you are in, no matter what kind of country you are in, no matter what kind of region you are in, there will always be people who take pleasure in bullying others, or who will do whatever it takes for the sake of desire, or who act recklessly because they have some power or ability. As he spoke, his eyes flashed with sadness, after all, this was indeed the truth, the fact that he had seen. And these facts have also hurt this young student heavily.

"I'm weak, my family is weak, I'm weak myself. Weak enough to be suppressed and unable to get up, and bullied and unable to fight back. Getting up is a dead end, and fighting back is a heavier revenge. But who wants to be suppressed and bullied? It is for this reason that I have to learn to fight back 'wisely'. ”

As he spoke, leaning back on the chair of the carriage, he continued with some dejection: "Fight back without being noticed by the other party, and divert the attention of the other person without being noticed by the other party." Let the other party have no time to take care of themselves, to think about all the cards in the opponent's hand, as long as you miss a card, it is a failure, as long as the failure is a heavy revenge. ”

"Think about all the responses of the other party and prepare accordingly, as long as there is a mistake, you may expose yourself and lead to more serious repression...... Because he is a very weak person, he must think about everything, to deceive, to conceal, to lead the other party in the wrong direction...... That's who I am. After Ke Zhou finished speaking, he replied with a wry smile again, after all, it was still a bit shameful to say this kind of thing.

But at this moment, both Xiao Liu and Beibei were a little surprised. After all, Beibei is a person who has long been accustomed to having a world of magic, and it is indeed very difficult for her to accept that such a world without magic does exist at once. Xiao Liu is different, Xiao Liu has read all kinds of literary works, and the world Ke Zhou said inadvertently reminds him of many similar works: these works are all fantasy literary works that describe the world without magic, and people purely rely on the rules of the world to develop weapons and props, so as to live.

Xiao Liu has always only regarded these literary works as novels, and he has nothing to read and read, but when he really realized that on the other side of the sky, such a world might really exist, he was still shocked.

"Teacher Xiao Liu, don't stay still, let's talk about what to do first, how to place this little young dragon, and then according to what you said, what should we do with the beast tide?" Ke Zhou pulled Xiao Liu and Beibei back to reality from thinking and fantasy, indeed, what matters now is not his business, but Beibei's whereabouts and the matter of the beast tide. According to what Xiao Liu said before, they must bring Beibei to Dragon Valley and go to the other side to organize the evacuation at the same time, but the current problem is that it is difficult to unify these two things.

If you take Beibei to solve the beast tide, then in the process of solving, you may not only have to face the trouble of the beast tide, but also have to be distracted to take care of this young dragon, and the gains outweigh the losses. If you go to Dragon Valley with Beibei first, you will move towards a place far away from the outbreak area of the beast tide, and you will go in the opposite direction.

"Whether it's taking her to Dragon Valley first, or solving the beast tide first, it's not a good choice......" Xiao Liu looked at the map, and seemed to be aware of these things, but he just kept shaking his head.

"It's better to hire mercenaries to send Kitaku to ...... Ryugu"

"No, for now, the other party is not an ordinary small organization, they are likely to have some involvement with the kingdom, I don't worry about handing over this dragon to the mercenaries for protection, after all, this group of people is also a group of fools who see money. Xiao Liu scolded the mercenary while scolding himself, and at the same time, he scolded himself in disguise, denying this choice.

"Then you might as well hire them to deal with the beast tide......"

"There's not enough money. ”

Xiao Liu said as he made a bitter and hateful look. "How much do you think it will cost you to hire them to deal with the beast tide, if it were me, I could use my name and a small amount of money to mobilize a part of the army or organize the evacuation of the people. But the group of mercenaries ...... I really can't afford it. Xiao Liu's face was very bad, as if it was because of the money, which made his mood a little low.

After Ke Zhou heard this, he also nodded, after all, this is exactly the case. These two things almost had to be done by Xiao Liu himself, and it was difficult to trust outsiders, or entrust them to outsiders. Moreover, even if it is entrusted to outsiders, it is still unknown whether it will produce worse results, and if it is messed up, it will be fatal on either side.

"It's very embarrassing, you have to think of a way, Ke Zhou, don't always say this kind of boundless thoughts. Xiao Liu's whole person, Ge You, collapsed on the seat of the carriage, and seemed to have given up thinking.

"But what I just thought is also very reasonable, rely on mercenaries to solve ......"

"It's impossible, you can't afford to ask if you can trust it, and it's better not to ask if you can't trust it. ”

Just when the two of them were at a loss, Beibei suddenly spoke: "Otherwise, Beibei will go back by himself?" Her inquiry was very quiet, sounding like she was testing the attitude of the two people. Of course, the response was of course unanimous opposition.

At this moment, a thought suddenly entered Xiao Liu's mind. He looked up at Ke Zhou in front of him, as if he had made up his mind, and said:

"In this way, our soldiers are divided into two routes, Ke Zhou, you take Bai Yu and Beibei, go and send her to Dragon Valley and tell the dragon clan over there about the experiment. During this period, I basically don't summon Wind Wings, and if you need to, White Feather can summon it to help you fight. ”

Xiao Liu threw a necklace made of small jade into his hand under Ke Zhou's puzzled eyes. "This is the distress necklace, when you meet an opponent you can't defeat, you smash this little jade. As long as you hold on for a few minutes, our guardian beast 'Mountain Ghost' will come to your aid. After Xiao Liu finished speaking, he thought about other things. However, this thought was futile, after all, he didn't know what a few people would encounter, so he threw a few scrolls from the storage space.

"This is a magic scroll, and the white ornaments on it are low-level magic, which are low-level electric shocks, blinding, detection, audio-visual blocking, and concealment. The green ones are intermediate scrolls, a lightning strike, and a shield wall. I don't have much of a blue stock, so I'll hand over this lightning to you, and if you tear it up if necessary, it's equivalent to a high-level magician's full blow. ”

Xiao Liu looked at Ke Zhou, and seemed a little uneasy, but he still didn't say anything after all. He had almost acquiesced to letting Ke Zhou go to solve the matter of Beibei Dragon Valley, and he set out to control the beast tide. It's risky, but it's the only way to balance the two things so far.

"So be it...... Let's take one step at a time......"

Xiao Liu patted his head and stepped off the carriageβ€”the carriage had already reached another nearby city, and from here, they were about to head in completely different directions. He didn't say goodbye to Ke Zhou, nor did he say goodbye to Beibei or Bai Yu. Maybe it was a little melancholy, or maybe it was some other complex, so he left them quickly, blended into the crowd, and headed towards the airship, without looking back.

"No, Xiao Liu, you can go, at least pay the fare, the money you gave me in the card is not very much, and the province is not so economical!" Ke Zhou said as he looked at the crowd with some despair. God, this person jumped down and slipped away as soon as the car stopped, isn't this like the feeling of throwing the mess to Ke Zhou and then going to have a good time by himself?

A card passed through the crowd and hit Ke Zhou's stomach, and the huge force made Ke Zhou take two steps back before he could barely hold on. Accompanied by the card, Xiao Liu's eager voice said, "Although I don't think I need to be reminded much, it's better to save some flowers." ”

When Ke Zhou looked at the crowd again, he couldn't find any trace of him at all. He smiled bitterly twice, patted his stomach, looked at Beibei next to him who was wearing a big robe to cover his body, and then waved his hand gently.

"Let's go, let's go, it's all here, let's go to Dragon Valley......"
