The climate in south-central Tonokuni in late autumn is still relatively warm, and the wind season has passed, making it a great time to visit. ∮ ∮ ∮ Xiao∮ said that Ou Na and Quexi, who embarked on the journey together, are very compatible in personality, and the longer the two have been in contact, the more they find that each other is really a good person.

Ou Na took over a task chain on Zhou Shu's side, working honestly to make money, and following her own principles. She must protect Fincy, even if Fincy is a troublemaker. After years of moving around, she has become accustomed to doing things she doesn't like. Although she does everything in order to survive, she has no worries about life now, and she doesn't need to do anything to further improve the quality of life, and she has no interest in accumulating money, so she prefers to be a good person leisurely.

As a quasi-princess, Quexi does not have the unique frame of a noble woman at all. Ou Na used to think that she was very cultured, and if she was asked to re-evaluate it now, she would change the word education to 'personality', a personality that people like very much.

The two embarked on a two-day journey, and the means of transport were pathetic legs. Fincy was going to take the bus, but she didn't find a female driver, so the matter was blown up.

Fincy's money can't afford a horse-drawn carriage, but she can follow a car dealer who shares a common destination. Sitting on the shelf and giving the owner a little money can speed up the journey a lot and save on travel expenses.

It's almost impossible to find a female trader or a full-time coachman, at least not yet. In the past two days, she has a good impression of Sparrow, and if you want to find fault with her, this reluctance to contact men is probably the only problem.

"Why do you hate men so much?"

Ou Na in the early morning of the third day of the journey. I asked this sentence on the way.

"I hate men? Why do you think so? I don't hate men, I like men very much!"

Fincy's answer was easily misleading, but Ou Na understood, "In other words, you want to avoid suspicion?"

Take a look at the west of the Sparrow, yourself as a princess. A princess who has traveled thousands of miles to find the king by herself, and when she finds the king, she will naturally be questioned about what she has experienced along the way.

She needed to be able to pat her chest proudly and tell everything that happened during her journey, without worrying about the king's suspicion of her chastity.

You must know that Sparrow is not a virgin, her first time was given to the king. She has lost something to prove her loyalty, and in order to gain trust, she must avoid suspicion and all the circumstances that would hinder her reputation along the way.

"Well...... Ou Na worried about Sparrow, "I don't think you can finish your trip if you keep doing this." Unless the king is in Graveyard City right now......"

"Why do you say that?" "Isn't it smooth to start my trip now? And it only took me a few hours to find you. ”

"That's your luck. Ouna sighed, "If I hadn't met that missionary and hadn't been paid for the gold from him, I would never have protected you from traveling." I don't think your good fortune will last, and when I get to Graveyard City, I'll leave you alone, and you'll be alone in that notorious city. It's hard to find another person like me. ”

"Is that so?" said Fincy, counting the ongoing journey in her life. I've been out twice in total. Last time, she followed the female officer all the way to the capital, and it was very smooth to go to the capital. On the way back, I used the money given by the palace and spent money to find a female guard.

In big cities like the Eastern Capital, there are such female guards who are dedicated to protecting women. Of course, they occasionally take on the work of some perverted rich travelers, playing and sleeping with them along the way.

Now there is no money to hire people, and it is difficult to get people. Ouna didn't think her way of finding travel companions could be sustained.

"If I'm the bad guy, I can arrest you now. Cut off your tongue and brand it with a fake slave mark, forge paperwork and sell you to rich people as playthings. You're a princess, you have a certificate, and this gimmick should make me get a lot of gold. After all, your majesty has caused a lot of trouble in the country, and a lot of rich people want him to be unlucky. ”

Ouna is straightforward but not bad-hearted. This has already been discovered.

"Ouna, I'm a little scared when you say that. ”

"That's what I'm here to do, and your next travel companion is likely to do it. I need to remind you that female mercenaries are much more cruel than men. If a woman wants to mix in this man's world, she must be open-minded. People who even open themselves up, of course, don't have any psychological burden to open you out. ”

"Have you ever been out of the way?" said Fincy didn't catch the point of the topic, but Ou Na replied with a smile.

"There have been a few times, in order to survive, to eat, to avoid trouble. She said with a heartless smile, "A woman's identity is actually quite useful in the men's world. And you see, I'm pretty popular with men, aren't I?"

This topic made Sparrow a little uncomfortable, and she had wondered if her previous trip had been so smooth that she had underestimated the world. Now it seems that this is a real possibility.

Ou Na's words made her think for a while, and the two of them walking on the road were rarely silent.

Master Zhou was in the sky, pricking up his ears to listen to the two chatting. He ate the candy that strengthened his hearing, barely able to distinguish the conversation between the two in the sound of the wind whirring high in the air.

At this time, he was quite conspicuous, like a ball with golden light floating in the air, as long as Ou Na and Que Xi looked up, they could see his storage zài. However, places like Higashinokuni are full of bird gods, such as snail kites, water birds, snake birds, hundred tongues, gulls, and birds, and the people of this country have become accustomed to the days when there are bird gods above their heads. Although they will look curiously after seeing it, and some people will bow down, but this is not an uncommon thing.

Master Zhou's hobby of listening to the roots of the wall was developed in the past two days. No way, he's so boring.

There aren't many things he can do floating in the sky, and it's impossible to read novels every day, so he still has to rest his head once in a while. He reviewed "Gone with the Wind" again in the past two days. to commemorate his state of floating in the air, although the two have no half-dime relationship. He also got "Great Expectations" and some messy stuff at hand, and now he doesn't want to see the book anymore, and he doesn't want to float. He genuinely wanted to walk a down-to-earth way.

Ouna's words to Fincy may not have shaken Fincy's faith, and she still insists on avoiding men during her journey. However, Zhou Shu, the male floating in the sky, was made a little drumming by Ou Na.

He was very sure that he had himself to follow Sparrow. No one will sell her to a small coal kiln or Dongguan, but the question is how long will she have to follow this girl? According to her walking speed and the vast territory of the East Country, this Latin American region alone is enough for Quexi's thin thighs to kick backwards for more than half a year, and Zhou Shu does not have this idle time.

"It's not an option to follow her like this......"

Zhou Shu pinched his chin and thought about how he should continue his mission. At present, there are two more reliable methods, or another way to find the king. If you don't want to do this, then you can only find a way to disguise yourself as a woman and blend in with the team of Fincy and Ouna, providing them with protection and a carriage. Or simply give the two of them two golden horses and let them fly forward.

Sometimes it is necessary to work hard to achieve such a thing as a brain hole. While Zhou Shu was thinking about this, Ou Na and Que Xi came to a small town, which was the only town in the neighborhood where they could stay.

The two girls were sleeping in the wild yesterday, and only a few hours after they walked into a town that wasn't on the map. Ou Na threw her map to the ground, stepped on it twice in anger, and then picked it up again and put it away.

Ou Na accidentally missed a place to rest yesterday and was forced to sleep in the open. Her map is also a little bad, after all, it's a cheap deal to deal with. I don't know what era the map was copied from, and there are many omissions.

She looked at Sparrow with an embarrassed expression. Sparrow smiled and said it didn't matter.

"I'm used to sleeping in the open, and besides, it's not your responsibility, there's something wrong with the map, isn't it?"

"Thank you for your kindness. Ou Na was helpless and took Sparrow into the town.

The two of them slept on the side of the road yesterday with a sore back, and they were also ready to end today's journey directly. In fact, the main thing is that Ou Na needs to get a more serious map, otherwise follow the guidance of her second-hand goods. I don't know when I was pointed to the western sky.

The size of the town is still there, facing the river, and a dry riverbed flows through the middle of the town.

The disappearance of the sea has dried up many rivers, and the town is one of them. However, there are also many rivers with abundant water, and the towns along those rivers are becoming more and more prosperous in this state of water scarcity. Cities and towns nestled on the banks of dry rivers are slowly withering.

The two girls entered the town and found a place where the Chamber of Commerce stayed.

The Chamber of Commerce also provided a place for travelers to settle down, and merchants were willing to do business with these lingering travelers, and it was convenient for them to gather them together in one place.

Ouna is anxious to find a map for herself, and Quexi is looking for a comfortable blanket for herself.

Yesterday's camping exposed some problems, such as the unbearable temperature at night. Although the day was quite warm, as soon as the sun went down, her body still couldn't accept the cold wind that swept in.

"I'll build yì you go buy a cloak. Ou Na pointed to a man sitting in the corner of the chamber of commerce hall, "That guy is supposed to be a second-hand merchant, you should ask him." ”

"Buying clothes from a second-hand merchant?"

Sparrow felt that this situation was a bit beyond her bearing. However, believing that there must be a lot of tolerance to be exceeded during this journey, she decided to take this as a preparatory challenge, and summoned up the courage to talk to the merchant.

Ou Na doesn't plan to spend money on a new map at all, she has charcoal, she just needs to find a reliable map and mark the missing things according to the content on it.

Just as she was about to go to the head of the Chamber of Commerce and ask them to borrow a map, a man appeared at the door of the hall, and as soon as he entered, he shouted, "Excuse me, is anyone going to pass by Cemetery City in the near future?" ”

Piggybacking is one of the means by which merchants rely on to make a living. As a swordsman who travels aimlessly, Ou Na often does this kind of work.

She glanced at the man in need, who was thirty years old at most, and looked quite down, with a scruffy beard that hadn't shaved for I don't know how long.

Men grow and shave generally better to be able to stick to it. The sudden shaving of a bearded man or the unshaven of a bearded man can give a strange feeling.

Ou Na rushed to the man's side before a competitor could talk, saying that her destination was Graveyard City, "If my map is okay, I'll be there in about two days." Well, I'll send you a letter. The price is negotiable. ”

The man looked at Ou Na, a little uneasy. However, after seeing the scabbard at her waist, I had some trust in it.

Most of the people who dare to travel with weapons have some ability, and if ordinary people travel with weapons, the weapons themselves will become a reason for them to be targeted by robbers. The robbers could tell which ones had real skills and which ones were the fat sheep who had come to deliver weapons to them.

The man happily handed over the letter and gave a silver coin, indicating that the person receiving the letter only had to see his name on the envelope. Would be happy to pay for another silver coin.

"It's just a letter, it's not very far, the price you gave is too high, I deserve it. Ou Na said with an unserious expression against herself, "Well, if you're willing to invite me and my petite female friend to lunch, if that graveyard city's ...... Well, Miss Tracey would love to write back to you. I'll bring it to you again. Gratis. ”

Ou Na stared at the payment of the recipient on the letter, and was surprised to find that the other party turned out to be a nobleman. At least the name is a noble name. In these years, there are still many down-and-out households with noble names.

The man smiled awkwardly. "If it's an ordinary meal, I can afford it...... "It can be seen that his life is a little difficult.

Ou Na didn't care about this, and pointed to the side of the second-hand dealer who was talking to the second-hand dealer and had a lot of body language, "That little one is my companion, and I promise that she won't eat more than a rabbit." ”——

Ou Na is quite a man who keeps her word. He does not lie, and he is upright.

She assures that Fincy doesn't have a lot of food, as evidenced by the fact that Fincy has only eaten one boiled corn when she gets her new cloak.

However, she didn't say anything about the amount of her meal, so the man still spent three adult men on the meal to make the meal.

"Don't worry, sir. I'll do my best to send the letter over!!"

Ou Na patted her satisfied stomach after eating and watched the man leave. Quexi showed off her cloak to the side, "Miss Ouna, can you believe it, such a good new cloak doesn't even need a silver coin, it's really a good deal!"

"New cloak?" said Ouna, skeptical.

"At least it's new to me, do you know how long it's been since I've bought new clothes?"

Ou Na reminded Que Xi with some embarrassment, "Although your 'new cloak' looks like new, I'd better boil it in water before wearing it." I've seen a man buy a blanket from a leper, and he died a terrible death......"

Quexi's beautiful mood was ruined by Ou Na's words, but she was very grateful, this was a matter of life and death!

"I'm going to borrow a pot from the Chamber of Commerce to boil water, Miss Ona, have you got your map?"

"No, I'll go right away. Ou Na smiled and grabbed the letter without fire paint, and was carefully unpacking.

"What are you doing!! how can you peek...... Hmm, hmm, don't cover my mouth!"

Ouna was cut short by several seconds by Sparrow's yelling, and it has always been a tradition for the courier to peek at those unsealed letters as part of the perks, and Ona loves it. However, Quexi obviously does not agree.

"Give me the letter, I'll keep it, don't peek!!" Quexi broke free from Ou Na's restraint and snatched the letter with a righteous face.

Ou Na shrugged, "Forget it, if you don't look at it, you won't watch it." But don't lose it, I've taken a lot of money, and it's the first time I've ever seen someone give a courier a silver coin for as much of a hard work. ”

After the two girls on the trip got a qiē, they slept on the fire in the big house provided by the Chamber of Commerce, and continued on the road the next day in good spirits.

Zhou Shu found a family in the town, gave them money and asked them to borrow a bed, and spent the night alone.

He's fed up with this kind of traveling alone, and it feels really bad to have no one to accompany him, but he doesn't want to let the summon come out to accompany him, he knows that as long as he calls the summon. I'm definitely going to do something to others. There's no reason to call it a man, and that would make you look like a.

Since he hadn't done anything out of the ordinary with the summoning girl for a long time, Zhou Shu simply decided to take this opportunity to quit his bad interest. Of course, the Ula Enigma is special.

Wishes are usually good, but Zhou Shu feels that he may not be able to hold on. Abstinence itself will not bring any good, that is for sure. But it's not a good thing to indulge yourself. There is a degree to everything, and Zhou Shu has an excuse to persuade himself to give up this insistence. He was reluctant to call the summons out again, mainly because he was a little embarrassed, and he didn't know how to open his mouth with them to put forward his needs.

He's been in contact with too many women lately, and he's used to communicating with human girls, but he's not used to making that kind of request for summons. He couldn't understand the feeling, but it had become a fact, so he had to go with him.

Early the next morning, Master Zhou broke the rules he had set the night before. Called the summons of the snake bird out.

He didn't quit smoking, but he always felt that the two things felt similar. The day before, I made up my mind to quit smoking, and my mind was full of thoughts about quitting smoking, but I smoked one after thinking about it.

The best way to deal with this kind of thing is to ignore it and divert your attention. Zhou Shu felt that he had been educated by himself once, and he sent away the snake bird summon after use, and he was too lazy to put more effort into this regard.

Poor Ou Na seems to have been deceived by the map seller. The difference between her map and the one in the Chamber of Commerce was 108,000 miles, and the gap was so large that the members of the Chamber of Commerce sighed vigorously. I'm glad that Ou Na was able to come this way.

For a silver coin, Ona buys a new map. She wanted to make do with it, but the point was that it was impossible, and the difficulty of redrawing the map was almost the same.

Fortunately, the Chamber of Commerce was willing to buy Ou Na's map, and they thought that this thing might be used in the future, but the price was only a few small silver pieces. It is a kind of auxiliary currency of the East Country. The size of a fingernail, it belongs to the change.

The birds thoroughly washed their cloaks with water and dried them in the courtyard of the Chamber of Commerce. Early the next morning, she ran to Ou Na crying, saying that her cloak had been stolen.

Ouna Khan one. The already dried cloak was taken out of the luggage.

"I'll collect it for you in the morning, you don't have to cry about this little thing, right?"

The two went on the road noisily, and Zhou Shu followed him to the sky, and started a new day's tracking journey with some despair.

He had already decided that when he arrived at the city with an exaggerated name in front of him, he must find a way not to continue to move forward so slowly. He even wanted the beetles to protect the two girls from being kidnapped and killed by some mountain bandits. Fly to Cemetery City first and see if you can find any clues.

However, he had heard that the king had passed by Yancheng more than a year ago, and he estimated that the city ahead would be able to advance this time by a month at most.

Retrace the path that the king has taken this year...... Zhou Shu thought about it from this aspect, and it seemed that the journey would not be too long. After all, His Majesty seems to live while walking, and hurrying is not the point, he will always live for a while after arriving in a new city, at least according to the people of the East Country. In other words, perhaps after seven or eight more cities, it would be possible to catch up with the king's march.

In two days, the two girls moved forward calmly along the way.

Zhou Shu acted as their protector in the past two days, helping to solve two pairs of interesting robbers. The two of them are rare to see beautiful girls in this country, and Ou Na may be a little more ordinary in comparison, but Quexi is qualified enough to be favored by the king as a princess.

It is not uncommon for such a person to wander alone on the road, and to be taken by a few new robbers with sticks and rakes as weapons.

Zhou Shu knew the combat power of the female swordsman Ou Na, and probably the danger Cheng Dù was just like a housewife with a kitchen knife. From the Book of Callings, it can be seen that the muscles on the woman's body are quite lacking, and it is not obvious that she has been trained. Master Zhou didn't think that Ou Na was the kind of technical flow killer of the knife killing group, and she could use a fruit knife to unscientifically cut the metal door lock. In his opinion, Ou Na is dangerous enough to travel alone, and she is completely unqualified to protect another girl who is even weaker than her.

As their hidden travel companion, Zhou Shu had no choice but to make a slight move to help them isolate themselves from danger. He did all the work of a patron saint.
