Chapter 118: The Princess of Eden (15)

In view of the fact that the large carriage is designed to carry both people and goods, Li Mengxi and his team finally rented only five sand sharks for single rides. All five girls rode in carriages, one of the boys drove the car, and the rest rode sand sharks to escort them.

At this time, outside the South City Gate, Li Mengxi and the others were discussing the issue of formation arrangement. Of course, they invited the girls to join, but under the leadership of Xun Hui, the girls unanimously decided to give up their decision-making power and sit in the car to enjoy the cool.

"Haven't they decided how to go?" Hinata said with some grumbling as she looked at the boys who had been discussing for a long time centered on Li Mengxi through the gap between the six sand sharks.

"If your boyfriend had kept the mess going, we'd have been gone. Emily, who was sitting at the end of the carriage as far away as possible from Xun Hui, said disdainfully.

"You, you, what are you talking about!" Hinata Naine immediately retorted with a red face, "Me and Yumexi are not like that, the relationship ...... We are partners!"

"Let's do it then! Anyway, if you can ask him not to argue with Hephaestus, it should be done. ”

"Hey, each of them is talking, okay? Why do you think it's Dream Creek arguing with Hephaestus?"

Seeing that the two of them were about to quarrel again, Jiang Ling opened her mouth slightly but still closed it. But Barriet bluntly said, "Hey, we don't need to argue about this kind of thing, do we?"

"They didn't have to argue for so long. Xun Hui, who was also sitting opposite Hinata and was close to the front of the car, looked not far away and also complained, "There are no more than two formations." With the carriage as the center, the first and semi-encircled are in front. Second, semi-encircled in the rear. Is this multiple-choice question difficult?"

As she spoke, Xun Hui looked back at the carriage and signaled that she was asking others instead of herself. But regarding the formation, all of the people in this car except Xun Hui are laymen, so no one can answer.

"That ......" Surprisingly, Jiang Ling spoke timidly. But she didn't seem to be answering the question, but raised her hand slightly in the direction of the front of the car.

So, everyone cast their eyes together and saw the general secretary of Zongjin who was approaching quickly.

"In the front, or in the back?" when the general secretary of the sect came to the front, Xun Huiye asked.

However, this kind of question was not understood by the General Secretary for a while.

"What?"

"Formation. ”

"That's how we decided. As he spoke, the head secretary of the sect stretched out his hand and instructed Xun Hui, "Li Mengxi is at the front, and on the left of the carriage are Igarashi Suke and Clark, and on the right are Leon Friedrich and my boss Hephaestus. ”

"How long did it take you to decide?"

"Less than a second. ”

Hearing this, the girls in the car were stunned for a moment. Since it was decided in less than a second, what have these boys been arguing about?

Xun Hui directly said this question.

"So, what are you spending ten minutes for?"

"I'm sorry, Mrs. Voss, I didn't mean to offend. However, your husband needs a reason, including that he is in the second position on the left, so we took the time to explain. ”

Hearing this, Xun Hui sighed helplessly.

"It's really Clark's style. But it will take ten minutes?"

"Nope. Then we debated the question of who should be responsible for driving. My boss is a mage, so Li Mengxi hopes that he can drive, you should be able to understand that it is only natural for the team to protect the mage. However, my boss, despite his cynical appearance, is still very strong. The most important thing is that he doesn't know how to drive, and he doesn't want to say it. So, let's start talking about team trust and things like that. ”

As he spoke, Mr. Sokin inadvertently glanced at Nayin Hinata.

"I have to admit that Li Mengxi debated very strongly, he cited a lot of ancient examples, and my boss was speechless, and just now he confessed the fact that he can't drive. So, no problem. ”

"Actually, I have a presumptuous question. Xun Hui continued.

"What?"

"I've always thought you'd be a taciturn person since we met yesterday, but now you're so talkative and a little humorous, so it's a bit of a surprise. Is it because Hephaestus is not there?"

"Yes, to be exact. My boss was always able to say what I wanted to say, and you never spoke to me. So, why do I have to speak?"

"I see, I see. Xun Hui said with some embarrassment.

And the general secretary of Zong Jin smiled at her and nodded, then turned over and sat in the driver's seat.

"Look, it's your partner who's raising the bar with Hephaestus. Inside the carriage, Emily said sarcastically to Naon Hinata again.

"But he's looking out for your boss's safety!"

"Stop!" Xun Hui suddenly snorted, "Why are you two always like this?"

Of course, Hinata Naine also understands that since they are both going to join the same guild, they should turn their rivalry with Emily, but she just can't help but respond to the other party's provocation. Therefore, after hearing Xun Hui's scolding, she immediately apologized.

"I'm sorry, Sister Xun Hui. ”

"Well, Emily, what about you?" Xun Hui looked at Emily with a sly smile, and moved the fingers of both hands at the same time.

Seeing this, Emily subconsciously protected her head.

"I was wrong, okay!"

At this time, the five boys who rode the single ride had also materialized the rented sand shark and rode it.

After Li Mengxi glanced back at the front of the team, he shook the reins while shouting "go". Then, everyone shook the reins in unison.

"Whew!"

Including the carriage, a total of eleven sand sharks jumped up and plunged into the sand, swimming quickly.

Barrett sat in the carriage, watching the yellow sand fly backwards from behind, and her heart was full of joy. She recruited powerful nobles as helpers, not to mention whether they could finally defeat Phoenix, but the water stored in the carriage warehouse now could keep the village safe for a long time.

I don't know, will my father forgive myself for the confrontation and running away from home?

As she thought so, Barriet didn't know that her father was unconscious, and that the village was in the "tyranny" of the captain of the guard, Paliusis.

......

"Please, let me go!

Near the Eden Village Reservoir, two guards are grabbing a woman and causing her to her knees and begging for mercy.

The commotion drew a lot of people around, all of whom looked at the women with sympathy and hated the guards. And among these people unexpectedly there is a heavyweight, the leader of the hunters - Ayilaid.

He also manages the reservoir, so it's his territory.

"What's going on?" Seeing the scene in front of him, Ayilid naturally stepped forward from the crowd and asked sharply.

"Lord Ayilaid!" the two guards stood up in respect at the sight of the visitor, and let go of their grip on the woman.

After being thrown to the ground, the woman didn't even bother to stand up as if she had seen a life-saving straw, and hurried to Ayilaide.

"Lord Ayilaid, please help me! My husband is a victim of the water caraver, please have mercy on our orphans and widows!"

Ayilid knelt down and put herself at about the same height as the woman and asked, "What's wrong?"

"My son is very thirsty, and I need water, and I need it very much, so I ......" The woman did not dare to say it.

After the village chief was unconscious, the captain of the guard, Paliusis, easily grasped the supreme power in the village with the help of the guards, on the grounds that he had the duty to protect the village, and issued two orders, one to build a new well, and the other to limit the water to the villagers, which was very cruel and miserable to the villagers.

The water used by those who could not do the heavy work of repairing wells, defending their lives, and finding food was reduced to less than one-fifth of what it was in one fell swoop, including practically almost all the elderly, children, and women in the village.

A family with at least one able-bodied man in the family was more or less able to divide the man's water consumption, and a family without a man like this widow lived almost every day.

"She's stealing water!" saw that the widow had not continued, and one of the two guards answered loudly, and then held up a shriveled water bag.

It seems that the woman was arrested without even touching the water.

"No, please, don't report it to Master Paliusis, I beg you, please!" the woman kowtowed to the two guards, and they were at a loss.

Naturally, Paliusis did not have the absurd order that whoever stole water should be executed, but the matter of stopping water for a day was no different from the death penalty for some people.

So, Ayilid had the heart to exonerate the woman, and when he saw the water bag that had not been stained with water at all, he couldn't help but think about it.

"I remember that Palyusis said that if any of your guards catches the person who steals the water, then the amount of water that person will be fined will be taken by the person who captured him, right? ”

Ayilid asked, standing up and staring at the two guards.

"Lord Aylaide, we didn't ......"

"I know, but you look at this water bag so dry, you say that she steals water, how can I believe it?" said Ayilaid, looking around, "Did any of you see it?"

There was silence, and none of the onlookers spoke, even if anyone saw it. Because everyone knows that if the widow's crime is carried out, it is likely to be two lives.

"You see, I can't tell you about it. Ayilid looked at the two guards again.

"Also, it's ......" The guards of the same village didn't want to do too much, so they went down the stairs, "I think this incident has never happened." ”

"yes, let's just assume it didn't happen. ”

After the words were closed, the two guards returned the dry water bag to the widow and hurried out of the land of right and wrong.

Suddenly, the surrounding crowd cheered for Ayilaid. But Ayilid wasn't happy at all.

"There's nothing to call it about, it's nothing!, let's go home and rest early!" shouted Ayilaide as she dispersed the crowd and handed the water bag from her waist to the widow who was getting up from the ground.

"Lord Ayilaide?"

"There's not a lot of water, just bear with me, just wait for the well to be opened." ”

"Thank you, thank you. After thanking her again and again, the widow took the water bag and hurried to her house.

What a lie.

Looking at the woman's back, Ayilid laughed inwardly. He turned to look in the direction of the new well that was being dug and frowned.

It is difficult to use water. It is difficult to open a well, and in order to open a new well as soon as possible, Paliusis has already shown signs of rushing to work with people who are not human. But half a year is the shortest time limit for digging a well in the desert.

If Barriet hadn't run away from home, she might not have been the acting village chief. However, the words of the sister-in-law, who has been different since before, may bring back some miracles.

But when will she come back? Where is the faint hope?

"Alas!" sighed, and Ayilid set out on her way home in frustration.
