Section 132 "Jace is a coward"
readx;? Verse 132 "Jace is a coward"
Just as the gods began to suffer from the judgment of Io, the king of the gods, in a wooded area in the valley of the Derimbier River in the eastern part of Ferron Road, in the distant main material plane, William had just found Yasuna, Finia and Miluna, who had left first, and of course, a dead face and a dead face that would not follow.

To William's surprise, leaving the shelter of Cole's Horn, Mi Luna did not have the kind of riot that caused the monster siege in the past, although he couldn't figure out what was going on, but he was also secretly relieved.
However, Yasuna's faces were obviously a little unsightly, and Yasuna stared at Xiao Sha'er in William's arms with cannibalistic eyes, and the little girl who was so bluffed that she nestled in her brother's arms and didn't dare to face her. It's just that the little girl's "ostrich tactics" of "taking care of her head and ignoring her belly" obviously don't work for another little girl, Mi Luna is like a little female cat who has been robbed of a toy pom-pom, "babbling" and pounced on Mi Sha'er and grabbed and bited, forcing Mi Sha'er to jump out of William's arms, and shouted with some confidence: "Mi Luna, don't bite my ears! Oops, let go! Let go! Let go-I'm going to be angry if I don't let go!" Of course, it is not without welcoming the return of Millet Sha'er, the cat and the cat worm are shaking their little tails around the two frolicking little girls and jumping excitedly, this little thing thinks that the two little playmates are playing again and wants to mix it.
Yasuna snorted heavily, "William, what about those monsters?"
It was obvious that Mi Sha'er had done something excessive when she went back to find her, but since Yasuna didn't know what to say, William couldn't ask directly, so he smiled and said, "It's all already disposed of." There shouldn't be any more trouble coming to us for a while, so let's find a place around here to camp for the night, and then continue on our way tomorrow. Indeed, although William did not know who was causing trouble for him (no one would believe that the sons of Haksha would run to the trade road to set up an ambush for no reason), in his opinion, the time when he and Yasuna were separated should be the easiest time to attack, and since the enemy has not moved, I believe that he will not take the liberty of attacking in the near future.
The calm of the next few days confirmed William's suspicions, not to mention monsters, the group had not even encountered a fierce beast. William's family was in a leisurely hurry, and the two little ones, who had been a little awkward, had already reconciled that night, and they sat on Mo Hu's back with great interest and chattered non-stop, and Mo Hu's wings on the two ribs provided them with the safest protection. Don't ask Mi Sha'er how to communicate with Mi Luna, who can't speak, the adults of the children's happy world will never understand.
The caravans on the road gradually increased, and in the past three days, William and the others have met five caravans between Xicambu and Huoshui City, and these caravans have more or less hired some mercenaries who look imposing as escorts, of course, it is difficult to say how much strength these mercenaries have.
William didn't want to have anything to do with these strangers who begged for life, he didn't want to involve innocent well-wishers because of his relationship, and he was also worried about running into some ill-intentioned guys, he began to hate trouble, but many times you don't want to find trouble doesn't mean that trouble won't look for you.
There are not only humans as mercenaries in this world, there are also many subhumans such as dwarves, elves, and halflings, and there is a short halfling in the caravan that William is now encountering. Halflings are cunning, resourceful survivors and opportunists, who can always find their own environment wherever they are, and may be trustworthy and loyal companions, but more often than not, cunning thieves waiting for an opportunity to do a lot of work.
Halflings are shorter than dwarves, usually only about three feet, and even two little girls can look down on them without pressure. The halfling that William and the others saw was a little smaller, even if he stood on tiptoe, he might not be as tall as the shoulders of Millet Sha'er, this halfling's skin was ruddy like a baby, short black hair, a pair of dark eyes like shining black gems, shining with a sly brilliance, a simple and comfortable linen gown, a dagger the size of a child's toy hung from his small belt, and a delicate wooden tube on his back, if it weren't for the long sideburns and a small beard, those who saw him would even suspect that he was just a little fart child who had not yet milked。
Undoubtedly, this "rare" "little man" attracted the attention of the "lower riba man" who had never seen the world in William's family, and the two little girls sat on horseback unscrupulously and looked at the figure of the halfling curiously, and even the cat and cat insect that was originally chasing behind the ink man's ass ran to the halfling, sniffed with its little nose, and finally snorted at each other with a pair of small canine teeth A kitten-like roar was made at each other, and then swaggered back.
Although the cat cat insect is only a slightly larger white cat in William's opinion, it is no less than a small tiger compared to the size of a halfling, and the frightened halfling happened to step on a small dirt pit, and stumbled and sat on the ground, causing the rest of the caravan to laugh.
Bullying the weak will always exist there, and while the mercenaries don't doubt the strength of their halfling companions, it's a good pastime to be able to make fun of this "little biter", especially since he's actually intimidated by a cat.
"Haha, poor Jace, that's just a cute little kitten that scares you so much that you can't even stand on your feet."
"Jace, do you want me to get you a cane?"
The embarrassed halfling got up from the ground and jumped to his feet and said angrily, "Damn! I wasn't scared by the cat, I just tripped over myself! I'm not a coward, you damn nasty people."
It's okay that the halfling didn't explain, but when he explained, the laughter of the others was even louder. Then the halfling Jace explained to everyone again in a more angry tone the reason for his fall, he was not cowardly, but the crowd responded to him with louder laughter, and the angry Jace was so angry that almost the whole person was about to burn, he jumped three times at a time, and explained to everyone one by one, obviously this was a futile act.
Jace's movements looked ridiculous and a little cute, and even William couldn't help but laugh, and he turned back to the two little ones on horseback who were already smiling and leaned back, and smiled: "Mi Sha'er, Mi Luna, I have a good idea, do you want to listen to it?"
After a while, a playful tune ran out of Mi Sha'er's mouth:
"There's a halfling here, and his name is Jace
His name is Jace, and he's a coward
He was so frightened by a cat that he fell! a cute little kitten
The cat ran away, and Jace was furious
Jace is a coward! Jace is also cheeky
Poor Jace, he's
......”
When this little tune was sung by Millet Sha'er, the people of the caravan couldn't help but be silent, followed by a louder laughter, and all the people sang loudly, singing over and over again, and the halfling Jace, who was the person concerned, was so angry that he almost fainted, for this halfling, today's experience was a nightmare.
Of course, no one expected that William's whim-teasing joke about the little girl, "Jace is a coward", would be sung throughout Ferron in the years that followed, and Jace the halfling became the first legendary figure not to be sung by the world because of his heroic deeds.
Of course, if anyone despises Jace because of this, it is definitely a wrong judgment, and it can be seen from his luolu arm muscles alone that Jace is an extremely strong halfling. William believed that if the size of this halfling was enlarged to the size of an ordinary human, it would definitely be a formidable Hercules.
Because of this unexpected episode, William and the others finally decided to go with this caravan (in fact, it was the funny joke that the two little girls were reluctant to halfling Jace), and the leader of the caravan was also very happy for William's family to join the team, after all, the person who can have a pegasus and a "giant" escort is definitely not a simple person.
The caravan had three fully loaded four-wheeled wagons with some books, spices, handicrafts, and a small amount of furs and precious metals, and six strong ponies pulled the wagons with some difficulty, and the carriages were not very fast. The leader of the caravan was a human merchant from Waterdeep, who seemed to be very talkative, and when he learned that William's family was almost the first time he had been out, he was very familiar with William's experience of traveling, as well as the terroir and stories along the trade route.
"There's a halfling here, his name is Jace" Of course, there is also the sound of the little girls frolicking here, Mi Sha'er and Mi Luna are singing the song "Jace is a coward" while happily chasing the fleeing halfling, and behind them is another "culprit" - cat cat worm. Poor Jace ran with his hands over his pointed ears and muttered loudly, "I don't want to listen, I don't want to listen! Jace is not a coward, Jace is not! You are not allowed to sing"
But every time Jace touched someone, the man immediately laughed and sang, "There's a halfling here, his name is Jace" and the poor halfling could only helplessly hold [email protected]/*
