Salgon?

Why am I in Sargon?

Zhou Jinru's memory is stuck in his conversation with Defender 004, and in the blink of an eye, he appears in Sargon, still wearing a thick winter coat, which belongs to the traces of Lentinium in 1080.

The young man in front of him had a frightened expression on his face, and Zhou Jinru realized that there might be something wrong with his face.

He didn't have time to think about it, he reached out and tore off a piece of cloth and wrapped it around his face, revealing only a pair of eyes, which looked indistinguishable from a Sargon.

When the black-clothed men who were chasing and killing the teenager saw that someone was intercepting, they immediately chose to retreat, and in a blink of an eye, they ran away without a trace.

"How so?!"

In the eyes of the young man, the person who tried to kill him was startled by the disfigured mysterious person in front of him, and he couldn't help but guess his identity in his heart.

Zhou Jinru was very confused, he set out from Sargon, and now he is back in Sargon, has he come to reality?

"What's this called?"

The young man said truthfully: "Baisha Settlement." ”

An unfamiliar place name.

Zhou Jinru asked again: "How far is it from Talat here?" ”

"What did you say?"

The boy got up from the ground, suspecting that he had misheard.

"Talat, the famous oasis city in the Sargon wilderness."

"I haven't heard of it," the boy looked at the mysterious man with strange eyes, "I don't know where the oasis city you are talking about, but if you want someone named Talat, I am Talat." ”

Talat, Pasha, no Talat Oasis city......

A ridiculous thought appeared in Zhou Jinru's heart, could it be that he deviated from his original trajectory and came to Sargon a hundred years ago?!

"What era is it?"

"In 996, I'm leaving, you come with me, say that I will pay your gold, and I will do what I say."

Talat was an honest and trustworthy man, and he always was, and since this eccentric man saved him, he should pay the bill.

Zhou Jinru was shocked in his heart, he really came a hundred years ago!

When he tried to hook the defender power, he found that the energy was in a dry state and could not be used properly.

"Could it be a side effect of my overuse of the light form in Vina's dream?"

Seeing that the man was not moving, Talat thought that he did not agree to go with him, and his emotions were inevitably a little lost.

Zhou Jinru had no better way at this time, he was sure that he could not find any help, because the people he knew were either not born yet, or they didn't know him at all.

Except for the old woman, Kelsey, but no one knows where she is, and naturally she doesn't put her hopes in the elusive lynx.

"Okay, I'll go with you, remember to give me the gold."

First, Zhou Jinru was penniless and needed money.

Second, in order to reassure the young Pasha, he asked for something, not more.

Hearing this, Talat's hanging heart also relaxed, if the other party didn't want gold, he would have to wonder if he had just left the wolf's den and entered the tiger's mouth.

The two of them lingered on the silent roadside for a moment, and then set out on the way out together, on the way, Zhou Jinru had a general understanding of Talat's current situation.

The young Pasha was given a territory, and he had eight hundred lords and a small number of guards, but the problem was that he had to pass through the control area of a few strange kings, and it was inevitable that some people would use their brains.

"I came to attend the banquet of the local chief today, and I only brought three guards, I thought it was nothing serious, but I didn't expect to be attacked."

From Talat's annoyed expression, it was clear that the fate of the three guards was not good.

The region of Sargon used to have a powerful empire, but because of the vast territory and the contradictions between the various tribes, it eventually fell apart and became what it is now.

There is not harmony between the Pashas, let alone the royal chieftains below.

So it was normal for Talat to be attacked, and the question was why he went into danger with only three escorts, and almost died.

The answer to this question is a little difficult to say, Talat is reluctant to say, Zhou Jinru did not ask, the meeting between the two of them has not been more than half an hour, there is no need to talk so deeply.

One thing is clear, however, that Talat had in his possession a token symbolizing the Pasha, and a reference to a legal document that would prove his legal status and legitimacy to possess the domain.

I'm afraid that his attackers also took a fancy to this.

After all, 800 lords are nothing, and you can easily get them as long as you want to.

Tarat's head is worth a lot more than that.

Returning to the temporary camp, a powerful Safra man immediately rushed over and shouted: "Pasha, why did you come back so late, what about your guards, are you ......?"

"Don't worry, Captain Camp, it's a bit dangerous, but I'm back, and the result is good."

While comforting the captain of the guard, Talat pointed to Zhou Jinru not far away, and exclaimed: "Thanks to this warrior, it was he who saved me, and now he is our friend, get him a set of inconspicuous clothes, and a mask, he needs food and a place to rest." ”

Having just been attacked, the place was no longer safe, and Camp tried to persuade Pasha to leave immediately, but Talat had no intention of leaving.

Zhou Jinru couldn't help but glance at the young Pasha more, because staying now is the best choice, no matter at any time, he can't leave his back to the enemy, and besides, he is Pasha, the supreme ruler of the region, how can he be scared away by the lower-level royal chieftain?

Looks like there's a good show to watch.

Zhou Jinru collected his thoughts and left with the captain of the camp guard, he lived in a tent alone, and it was not long before the captain of the guard personally sent some food and a set of clothes.

"I want a mirror."

After receiving such a request, Camp was puzzled, but still found a small mirror.

Zhou Jinru was the only one left in the tent, he quietly looked at himself in the mirror, his whole face melted, like a villain who came out of a horror movie, not only that, but even his body had different degrees of ulceration everywhere.

"It should be caused by the overload of the light form, my body can't withstand such a terrible power, what No. 014 said before is right, burning the life force will gain more powerful power, so strong that even I can't control it."

Zhou Jinru silently put on a mask, he couldn't see people with a straight face at all, and only people with a big heart like Talat were not intimidated.

After the self-examination, sit on the edge of the low bed and eat, feeling the dry defender energy in your body.

Without the light form, the void cannot be opened, and there is no way to return to his timeline.

That is, he was trapped a hundred years ago.

"Let's take one step at a time."

After eating, Zhou Jinru lay on the bed, soothing his tense body, and he didn't know how long it had been, and he was woken up by a miserable cry.

What's going on?

He rolled over and lifted a corner of the tent, and it was so bright outside that he could barely see.

There were many guards gathered in the camp, all holding torches, gathered together.

In the midst of the crowd, Talat knelt on the ground, and in front of him were three corpses, presumably the guards he had brought to the banquet.

The young Pasha cried loudly: "Your Excellency, they were all sent by my father to protect me, and they died like this, I am sorry for my father!" ”

He cried so loudly that the listeners were sad and the listeners wept.

A middle-aged man standing opposite looked embarrassed, how could Pasha cry his subordinates like this, he was simply slapping his face with the sole of his shoe, and besides, such a sprinkling and rolling approach, it is not persuasion, and it is not persuasion.

"Lord Pasha, watch out for your body."

Talat was half crying, as if he was tired, and asked with sobs: "It's too hot for me to take their bodies away, so ......"

"I'll be responsible, they're all heroes, and there's a lot of credit for protecting Lord Pasha, so they must be buried well!"

The young Pasha nodded: "Then I can rest assured, Your Excellency Chief Wang, my three guards were killed, it is too unsafe here, I didn't expect that there were robbers near your mansion, can you sleep soundly, it was my guards who died yesterday, maybe they will be able to kill your bedroom tomorrow, I am also worried about you." ”

Chief Wang didn't want to mention how greasy and crooked he was, he didn't stop pumping his left cheek, and he continued to pump his right cheek, and he could only lean his face over and beat the young Pasha.

If you want to blame, you can only blame it for not being able to kill this kid last night!

"You are right, I really didn't expect the robbers to be so bold, I will immediately send someone to suppress the bandits, for the safety of the people, I will definitely go all out to suppress the bandits!"

There are so many bandits in the Sargon wilderness that no matter how much you suppress the bandits, you can't clean them up, but you still have to say it, after all, the young Pasha is also a Pasha, and his identity and status are here, so he can only pinch his nose and admit it.

Zhou Jinru next to him watched with relish, Talat Pasha is not so easy to fool, the chief of the king here really underestimates him.

Seeing that his goal had been achieved, Talat patted his clothes and stood up, ignoring the tears on his face, and said lightly: "Your Excellency, my people and I are planning to set off today, and there will be no more robbers on the road, right?" ”

"No, of course not, if you don't worry, I'll send a team of guards to protect your safety!"

Talat looked at Chief Wang with puzzled eyes: "Your army is going to suppress bandits, do you have any energy left to do anything else?" ”

Chief Wang opened his mouth, but did not say the last half of a word, and walked away.

Everyone dispersed and began to prepare for the departure work, and the idle Zhou Jinru was found by the sharp-eyed young Pasha.

"Late last night, thank you for your help, I haven't asked what to call ......"

"Mr. Four, just call me Mr. Four."

Talat cleared his throat: "Okay, Mr. Four, your honorarium is ready, please come with me." ”

The two of them walked to a carriage one after the other, and Talat took out a wooden box and took out a bag of coins from it and placed it in front of Zhou Jinru.

"Here are twenty Sargon gold coins in circulation, and it has great purchasing power on the black market in any wilderness settlement."

Zhou Jinru took it in his hand, it was a little heavy, and before he could speak, the young Pasha took out another gold coin and threw it over.

"This is the ancient coin of the Sargon Empire, given to you, you can sell it, it can be sold for about eighty to one hundred gold coins in circulation, it can also be kept for collection, it is a token, you take it to me, I can help you realize a wish within your ability."

Aspiration?

Zhou Jinru said in a hoarse voice: "I'm not interested in wishes. ”

The money was also collected, and the verbal agreement between them ended.

But the young Pasha continued: "Mr. Four does not look like a Sargonian, and he does not know much about the local environment? ”

A man's chuckle came from under the mask: "You want to recruit me?" ”

"It's not a solicitation,"

Talat jumped out of the carriage, put his hands behind his back, and took two steps, his back to the rising sun: "Mr. Four, you see, I still have some status in Sargon, at least on the surface, they must be respectful, if you need a guide, I should be competent, the same ......

It's not safe on the road, there are so many of us, and it's safe to walk together, so it's a mutual aid relationship between us, and I have a lot of money. ”

He is a good Pasha, but the dead Pasha has no dignity, and only alive can he have a future.

Late last night, this man defeated six enemies with extraordinary skills in one move, and his strength was strong.

If the other side had sent him to kill him, he would have died a long time ago.

Talat wasn't sure if the Four was an outsider, but one thing was certain, he wasn't a brutal.

Such a God-given opportunity, if you don't hurry up and pull it around, what are you waiting for?

However, the young Pasha's words were automatically filtered into two words in Zhou Jinru's ears, solicitation.

There is only one purpose for saying so much, I hope I can stay, and on the way, I will definitely try my best to solicit it.

Talat had tried his best to control his thoughts, and the conditions offered were tempting enough, and he took the initiative to put both sides in the same position, and from the lord's point of view, he was already qualified.

What Zhou Jinru needs now is cultivation, and then extract energy from the source stone to restore the defender energy, he doesn't want to be trapped a hundred years ago all the time.

Young Pasha is a good backer, even if the little sapling is not strong enough, it is better than nothing, isn't it?

Putting away the money bag, Zhou Jinru was silent for two seconds, and said lightly: "Yes, I will walk with your convoy for the time being, I am not a person who likes to eat idle meals, my profession is a surgeon, and I have a little research on source stone disease, you can come to me if you have any questions." ”

Talat was overjoyed, he was still worried that he was showing too obviously, but he didn't expect Mr. Four to agree, and he was also a doctor, a surgeon specializing in the field of source stone disease.

This is the solution to the urgent need.

Everywhere, doctors are very important!

In the afternoon of the same day, Talat set out again with his eight hundred subjects, but the local chieftain did not come to see him off, nor did he send any escort.

They have only one destination, an uninhabited oasis on the map.

It stands to reason that where there is an oasis, there is water, and there is life, and the people of the desert flock to it.

But this oasis has no rulers.

"Because a group of wandering horse bandits took control of this oasis, they plundered tribes, bought and sold people, burned and looted, and it just so happened that my father gave me this area as a territory."
