Chapter 16: Miss Lilien

Xu Shuo rode in a carriage for the first time in his life, and at first he thought it would be a comfortable thing, but it turned out that riding in this medieval-level carriage was actually a physical task, because the carriage was too bumpy!

Several times on the road, Xu Shuo subconsciously wanted to rest with his head on the carport, but he was immediately knocked out of his bag by the shaking car, and in desperation, he had to bow his body and press his thighs with his arms to relieve fatigue.

It's good that I didn't eat breakfast, otherwise I would have to vomit out, Xu Shuo thought to himself.

"Hey, newcomer." Rudolph, who was sitting opposite, called Xu Shuo, pointed to the lion badge on his chest and asked, "Where is your badge?" ”

"In my pocket." Xu Shuo replied.

"Put it on, you're on a guild mission." Rudolph ordered.

"Oh." Xu Shuo took out his badge and pinned it to his T-shirt.

At this time, Barton, who was sitting next to Xu Shuo, asked, "Newcomer, I have never seen the style of your clothes, are you a foreigner?" ”

Xu Shuo looked down at the official T-shirt with the logo of "Sword of Darkness" printed on his body, and said, "Well, I'm really not a local, I'm a Chinese." ”

"Huaxia? Haven't you heard of it, in our country of fire? Cupid asked.

"No, Huaxia is a country, far away from the country of fire, so you may not know." Xu Shuo said perfunctorily.

"Look at your appearance, you should be from a rich family, you started to breathe after walking two steps just now. Young master from a distant country, why did you come here to be a bounty hunter, don't you mind me asking? Rudolph asked.

"Oh? Interesting, just boring, let's hear it. Barton coaxed, and the rest of the car looked interested.

"Uh, nothing, just coming out...... See the world. Xu Shuo scratched his head and said, "Joining the Bounty Hunter Guild is just to earn some living expenses. ”

The crowd burst out laughing.

"Earn some living expenses? Do you think you're playing at home? I don't know when we're going to lose our lives in this business, so I advise you to change jobs honestly! Barton said.

"That is, how did you pass the test? You can't have used some means to bribe the president, right? Cupier teased.

"This guy doesn't have any money, so he should use beauty, right? After all, the face is quite white. One of the people in the car said.

The crowd laughed again.

After laughing, Rudolph coughed lightly twice and said, "Jokes are jokes, don't underestimate this newcomer, he is Lv1, maybe he is the lowest level among the people who have passed the test in our guild, and his potential is unlimited." ”

"Lv1 passed the test, is it really fake? Newcomer, what is your vocation, is it a rare vocation? Someone asked.

Xu Shuo hesitated for a moment, and said with some confidence: "I am a thief. ”

The car was quiet for a while, everyone look at me, I look at you, the atmosphere at the scene was a little awkward.

(Is that really the case...) )

Just when Xu Shuo thought this, Barton on the side pressed his shoulder with his elbow and said loudly: "It's okay, it doesn't matter what your vocation is, since you can join our guild, it means that you are not only a clean person, but also have some ability, as long as you don't do bad things, we are good brothers!" ”

"Yes, our guild is different from the adventurers' guild, we don't discriminate against others because of our vocation." Someone chimed in.

"yes, don't care."

"Since we're in a car, we're brothers."

Xu Shuo nodded, saying "thank you, thank you", and at the same time secretly looked at everyone in turn with the [Eye of Love].

Rudolph and Barton have a favorability of 3, Cupbil has a 1, and the other two are negative.

It's a little better than expected, it seems that these guys aren't all duplicitous, Xu Shuo thought to himself.

Probably to avoid embarrassment, the hunters didn't talk about Xu Shuo's identity again, but just chatted with me word by word. Xu Shuo couldn't interject, so he listened silently on the side.

The hunters chatted and chatted, and somebody started talking about rumors about Adam Wink, the head of the House of Wink.

"I heard that Adam Wink's daughter, who claims to be adopted, is actually her own."

"Possibly, it's all blonde after all."

"Have you seen it? I heard that Adam was very strict with his daughter and usually didn't let her go out. ”

"You don't know, my cousin is the deputy chief judge, and last year Wenk Manor held a New Year's dinner and invited my cousin to go, but my cousin had something to do temporarily, so he gave me the invitation letter and asked me to go for him. I met Adam's daughter there once, hey, that's a big beauty, not to mention anything else, the temperament alone is not trivial, the skirt has its own wind when she walks, and the waist pole is straight, and the children of aristocratic families are different, standing still is like gilding. ”

"Off topic. If it's really biological, why do you want to claim that it's adopted? Are there any benefits? ”

"Who knows, these big nobles will play very well, what is so boring how can we low-level characters guess. Maybe our little master knows? ”

Xu Shuo noticed that everyone's eyes were gathering towards him, and only then did he realize that the "little young master" was talking about him.

"Well, I don't know, and in fact, my family background is quite ordinary, not a young master." Xu Shuo said.

At this point, Rudolph interjected: "Okay, don't gossip about your employer, it's not good to be heard." ”

The captain spoke, and everyone stopped.

After a while, the carriage slowly drove towards the city gates, and after passing through a pass handled by guards, the scenery outside the carriage gradually changed to a dense forest.

After several hours of driving, the convoy came to a halt on an open flat field. Then Parker's face appeared in front of the carriage in which Xu Shuo was riding.

"We'll be camping here, please get out of the car." Parker said.

After Xu Shuo got out of the car, he noticed something strange. First of all, the flat ground beneath your feet, which is not a "land", but a "stony field", and it is full of rocks as far as the eye can see. But what's even stranger is that there is a large forest growing on this rocky ground!

Trees are rooted in the rocks and thrive on the rocky ground, surrounded by dense forests except for the flat land where the convoy stays for some reason.

"How can this tree grow on stone?" Xu Shuo was surprised.

A clear voice answered Xu Shuo from behind.

"It's not on rocks, it's all fertile soil underneath this forest, it's just covered with rocks. The trees in this forest have a name, called 'Tapping Trees', and they are very strong species, just like humans, by penetrating the solid rocks by their own efforts, and eventually growing into the forest. ”

Xu Shuo turned around, and he saw a clean girl.

That's right, clean.

The girl was tall, with a silver triangular forehead guard on her forehead, and wore a blue and white knight's suit, the white part was cotton, spotless, white as snow; The blue part is thin armor, which protects every vital part of the body. Her blonde hair, braided in a fishtail, fell naturally down to her right shoulder, and her blue eyes shone brightly.

If Angela's holy appearance when she pretended to be a serious goddess was white, then the girl in front of her was blue, reminiscent of a clear stream, clean and sweet.

When did you stand behind me? Xu Shuo thought.

"You ......"

As soon as Xu Shuo wanted to ask about the girl's identity, Parker ran over.

"Miss Lilien." Parker came to the girl's side, bowed, and said respectfully, "The master called you over." ”

Lilien? This person is Lilian, the eldest lady of the Wink family? Xu Shuo looked at the girl in front of him, she was indeed very ladylike.

"Parker, I just wanted to talk to this Mr. Bounty Hunter, and it'll be over in a moment." Liliam said to Parker.

"Miss, forget it, if the master finds out......" Parker only said half of his words, but it sounded meaningful.

"Parker, you can testify for me, I'm just answering this gentleman's question." Lilian's tone was a little hurried, she looked at Xu Shuo, and said, "This gentleman, I was just answering your question about the 'Tapping Stone Tree', right?" ”

Although Xu Shuo didn't know why Lilian was so nervous, he guessed that the other party needed his cooperation now.

"That's right, thank you for telling me." Xu Shuo said.

After receiving the answer, Liliam turned to Parker and said, "That's it. ”

Parker bowed his head and said, "I know, if the master has doubts, I will testify for you." But now, it's time for you to get over. ”

Lilian's eyes dimmed a little, but soon something ignited, she looked at Xu Shuo and said, "Sir, if you have similar questions, you can also come and ask me." ”

"Oh......" Xu Shuo nodded sluggishly.

"If you have any questions, please ask me, and I will answer them for you." Lilion said it again before following Parker away with a reluctant face, towards a beautiful-looking carriage convoy not far away.

Xu Shuo stayed where he was, scratching his head.

(What's the situation?) )
