Chapter 109: I can only take one step at a time in this world
When Merlin arrived at a small village with Wang Cheng, it was already getting late, so he offered to let Wang Cheng stay at Merlin's house for one night.
Of course, this is unbelievable for Wang Cheng.
It is said that Merlin is the only merchant in the village, and although he is only engaged in an ordinary transportation business, which is nothing more than selling some daily necessities, he is also much richer than the other farmers in the village, so let Wang Cheng not be polite.
Of course, Wang Cheng will not be polite to Merlin, rubbing rice has always been something Wang Cheng is good at, and in this field, Wang Cheng has always been familiar with it.
When Wang Cheng followed Merlin into the village, he saw a large number of children surrounding him, and when he saw Wang Cheng, he curiously pointed at Wang Cheng's side.
Because every time he goes out, Merlin will bring some interesting gadgets and some snacks that are only available in big cities, so the children in the village are very fond of Merlin, so although it is time for dinner, these children are still waiting at the entrance of the village, and they all gather around when they see Merlin appear.
"This guy looks weird. β
"yes, they don't look the same as Dad. β
"I feel that my skin is a little yellow, are you hungry?"
"The whole person is black, and the clothes are so torn, it's pitiful. β
"Yes, it's pitiful, and it's ugly. β
Wang Cheng said that he didn't want to meet these children in general, so he smiled "kindly" at these children.
After these children were frightened by Wang Cheng's smile, they scattered one after another.
"Hahaha, I'm sorry, these kids don't have malicious intent. Merlin said with a smile at Wang Cheng.
"It's okay, I know, what about the adults in the village?"
Wang Cheng found that although there were many people in this village, they were all children, and there were many old people and women.
"They have all been recruited by the knight lord, and most of the men in the village have become knights' attendants, in fact, they are the lord's personal soldiers."
"Conscription?
"I don't know, I didn't hear that there was going to be a war there when I ran the business, it was very peaceful, and I don't know why the lord wants to expand the army. β
"There must be something else that's different from usual. β
"It's no different in other places, but there seems to be something going on in the royal city of Kemilot recently, some time ago when I went to the royal city to buy goods, I felt that the atmosphere there was not right, those noble lords were in a hurry, and the guards were much stricter. β
"This is so familiar, generally speaking, either someone is going to stage a coup d'Γ©tat, or your king is dying. After Wang Cheng heard Merlin's statement, he knew that this kind of conscription was definitely not an invasion by a foreign enemy, but an internal incident.
"What, someone is going to stage a coup d'Γ©tat?" Merlin was taken aback by Wang Cheng's words.
"I'll just say casually, I'm not from here, how do I know what's going on with you. Wang Cheng immediately reacted, the place where he is now is not Wang Cheng's original world, and he shouldn't talk about this kind of secretive topic.
Even if the place is a fantasy world with magic.
"You can't talk nonsense, something will happen. Merlin lowered his voice and said to Wang Cheng.
"I'm sorry, I'm a newcomer, and I don't know the rules here. Wang Cheng could only say this to Merlin.
"It's okay, it's okay, there are no outsiders here, don't be so careless with others in the future, when I was young, I was not afraid of heaven and earth like you, but in the end, it was myself who suffered." β
"You're Teaching ......"
"Don't talk about this, I'm here, dinner should be ready, let's go in and eat." Merlin pointed to a house in front of him and said to Wang Cheng.
Merlin's house seems to be a little richer than the rest of the village, and it can be seen from the appearance that this house is a little better than the others, but even if it is good, it is limited, and it seems that the village as a whole is not rich.
This is mainly because Wang Cheng is a modern person, and the city A where Wang Cheng has been living and the city B that he often goes to are both economically developed cities in country Z, even the surrounding countryside is relatively wealthy, and almost every household has built a small high-rise.
So Wang Cheng didn't know that Merlin's village was actually quite wealthy, at least the people in the village could eat enough, which was why the lord of Merlin's territory would come to recruit the men in this village.
Because the men in this village are still relatively strong, if there are some poorer villages, the villagers are also yellow-faced and thin-skinned, so if they want to go out to fight, I am afraid that they will fall behind in momentum.
After Merlin took Wang Cheng into the house, Wang Cheng saw two women in Merlin's house.
One is an elderly grandmother, who should be Merlin's wife, and the other is younger, but not Merlin's daughter, because this person Wang Cheng knows.
"Why are you here?" asked Wang Cheng, pointing to a thousand faces.
"After coming out, the first village along the road is here, and this house is the best, what is strange about me here, I want to ask why you are here. Qian said to Wang Cheng.
"Who is this?" Merlin asked his wife when he saw the thousand faces in the room.
"The girl is said to have come from a long way away, and because it was getting late, I saw that it was not safe for the girl to be alone outside, so I agreed to let her stay here for the night. The old woman said.
"You know?" Merlin asked Wang Cheng as he turned his head.
"Yes, we know. Wang Cheng said to Merlin.
"She's the one you're looking for, but she's not ......," Merlin asked.
"No, I know her, but she's not the person I'm looking for, it's just that we're from the same place. Wang Cheng explained to Merlin.
"Is that so?" Although Merlin was still a little confused, he didn't think too much about it, after all, the folk customs of this place are quite simple, and there are no legends of male and female thieves, and there is nothing to worry about at home, so he is not afraid of what Wang Cheng and Qianmian will do.
It's just a little strange that I met two outsiders on the same day.
Wang Cheng didn't say anything to Qianmian either, because this was not a good time to chat, and if he had anything to say, he could only wait until he was talking in private.
Wang Cheng and Qianmian made eye contact for a while and then sat down, and Merlin's wife had already prepared dinner, which was toasted bread and grilled sausages, which looked good.
Although Wang Cheng was not hungry, he did not hinder him from eating, and after thanking Merlin and the old woman, he picked up the bread and ate it.
After the meal, Merlin arranged Wang Cheng and Thousand Faces into the same room together, not because Merlin thought that Wang Cheng and Thousand Faces were a couple, but because there was only one room in the house.
However, Wang Cheng and Qianmian didn't mind, and the two said goodnight to Merlin and returned to the room.
"How did you get here?" After closing the door, Qianmian asked Wang Cheng directly.
"That's how I came right here. β
"How did you get through that fog?"
"That's how I came through. β
"I'm not kidding you. Qianmian didn't seem satisfied with Wang Cheng's answer.
"I'm not kidding, that's how I came straight through the fog, don't talk about you, I'm weird myself. Wang Cheng could only patiently explain again.
Although Qianmian still has doubts, since the words have come to this point, it is estimated that what Wang Cheng said is true. When he saw the dense fog, he thought that he had talked so much to Wang Chengbai when he was in the restaurant before, and in the end he still had to do it alone, because he could pass through the dense fog with the mask on his body, and Wang Cheng would definitely not be able to get over.
But I didn't expect to meet Wang Cheng here, it seems that Wang Cheng must have some secrets that he doesn't know, and it's definitely not just as simple as an ordinary college student who knows ancient martial arts.
"There's one thing I want to tell you. Qianmian changed the topic and said to Wang Cheng.
"What's the matter?"
"I don't think you can log out of the game right now. β
"What?" Wang Cheng immediately paid attention to the tattoo on his wrist after hearing this, and then tried to log out of the game, tried several times, and found that there was no reaction, and he was still in the game, so he could only ask Qianmian: "How do you know?"
"Because I can't get out either. Qian said to Wang Cheng.
"That's not right, it's also in the thick fog, why can Liadlin log out? Could it be that Liadlin is not in the thick fog? There is another birthplace with NPCs in the forest?" Wang Cheng said to Qianmian suspiciously.
"Liadrin, is that the little foreign girl, who appeared in a different place from the others after entering the game?" asked Qian Cheng as she turned to Wang Cheng.
"That's right, but she can't tell where she is, only that there are aborigines in the place where she appeared. This kind of thing doesn't need to be hidden from Qianmian, Wang Cheng said truthfully to Qianmian.
"Then it will definitely not be in that forest, because the people of this world cannot enter that forest at all, and no one can pass through that thick fog. Thousand Faces said with a serious face.
"What the hell is going on with Lyadrin?"
"It's a little weird, but it's okay, my body will be fine even if I'm hungry for a week, as long as I find the truth during this time. Thousand Faces said.
"Well, that's all there is to it. Wang Cheng waved his hand helplessly, since there is no way to log out now, then he can only take one step at a time in this world.
