Chapter 30: Philia's Request
Soon, the barbecue was already roasted, and Phia saw that I roasted the eldest piece, which was dozens of catties, and said, "The two of us can't eat so much, right?"
I smiled and said, "This barbecue is not enough to eat, I guess I will have to roast it at least again." "Although it hasn't been a long time, I know that Xiao Yu can eat about fifty catties in one meal now, and it's not a simple matter to feed a holy beast with a greedy mouth!
Of course, Filia couldn't imagine that this little bird could eat so much, and she thought that I ate too much, so she couldn't help but look at me strangely, and said, "Even if you are amazing, you don't need to eat so much, right?"
I'm too lazy to explain, anyway, she'll naturally understand when she eats it later, and it's just in vain to say it now. It's a lot and the roast is ready. Just one bite, she was already full of praise. However, when she saw Xiao Budian devouring the barbecue in large chunks, her mouth could no longer be closed.
"Aren't you worried that it's going to take hold?" asked Philia after a long moment before she came to her senses.
"In fact, I don't worry about its stomach at all, only occasionally I worry about my purse. Seeing her look so graceful since she woke up, I also had a rare sense of humor. She looked at Xiao Yu carefully and curiously, but unfortunately the bird of paradise is a rare holy beast, most of them live overseas, and not many humans can know it. If I hadn't seen it on Dragon Island, I wouldn't have known.
After eating and drinking, I was about to ask her what her plans were, but she timidly asked, "Can I ask you something?"
I smiled and said, "Meeting is fate, if there is anything you need my help with, just say it!"
She gritted her teeth, knelt down in front of me, and said, "I know it's presumptuous, but I really can't help it, so I can only beg you." Please save my daughter!"
I hurriedly helped her up and said, "If there is anything you say slowly, you don't have to make such a big gift." "I know that on the continent of Adas, kneeling is a very serious etiquette, even if officials usually visit the monarch, they only bow deeply, and bowing, which is a etiquette that only slaves do.
"That's how it is," she said, so she stopped insisting and said slowly, "I have always lived with my daughter Alice, and the day before yesterday the thieves attacked our village, and they killed the whole village, and took not only me, but also my daughter. Because the thieves wanted to give me to some powerful person, I was spared. But Alice, who was only ten years old, was sent away by them that day, supposedly to be sent to Carter's capital to be sold into slavery. So I beg you, save my daughter, I don't know who I can call for help but you. ”
"Such a thing, since I have encountered it, where is there a reason not to help. Don't worry, I'll do my best to get your daughter out. I replied that Carter's royal capital, Tro, was on my way to Ostre, and that saving her daughter was just a matter of incident.
Hearing that I was willing to help, she was obviously relaxed, too, oh, a weak woman, carrying such a big burden, how could she not be tired?
Now that she has decided to help her rescue her daughter, the next thing is to understand where Alice will be taken, but unfortunately, even she only knows that Alice was taken away by slave traders and planned to be sent to Tro City to sell, and the others don't even know how they went and which way they went.
From here to Tro, there are only a few hundred miles away, and the slave traders generally put the captured people directly in cages and dragged away by horses, so it is not strange to run hundreds of miles a day, two days, maybe they have already traveled more than half of the journey, even if they start to chase now, they can't intercept them before reaching Tro City, so they can only go to Tro City to find it, which is not much better than looking for a needle in a haystack. But no matter what, the most urgent thing now is to rush to the city of Trow as soon as possible, only in this way can it be possible to find the slave trader and find Alice. If it weren't for Filina, I would have been able to quickly catch up with the slave traders, but unfortunately I didn't know what Alice looked like or the person who took her away, so I couldn't find it, so I had to take Philia with me.
Next, I can only act as a coachman, driving the carriage, although I can't control it very well, but with the help of Zhenqi, it is completely different. Just like last night, I carefully controlled the two horses with my true energy, and drove the carriage smoothly and steadily, even for the best grooms, I believe it is nothing more than that. I even tried to convey a small amount of True Qi into the bodies of the two horses, which greatly increased the speed of the carriage. It's a pity that I don't dare and don't want to transform in front of her, otherwise I would have been much faster than flying with her after the transformation, and if she saw me in the form of a dragon and couldn't keep it a secret, it would have caused me a lot of trouble. According to the Kalie patriarch, for tens of thousands of years, there have been endless human beings who want to slay dragons, and the dragons who have been discovered by humans will all be constantly disturbed by humans without exception, and I don't want to live like that.
Along the way, considering that she spent the first two days in fear, I took care of her meticulously, and specially sent the little bird of paradise into the carriage to play with her, so as not to make her feel bored in the car, and I also went to a nearby town to find a hotel to eat at noon. Fortunately, although Xiao Yu eats barbecue well, he is not interested in the dishes in the hotel, which saves a lot of trouble. In fact, all holy beasts don't need to eat, all they need is energy, and the reason why Xiao Yu likes to eat barbecue is just to satisfy the appetite of the tongue. In the evening, I wanted her to go into the city to rest, but she decided to travel overnight. However, after continuous inquiries along the way, we finally learned in a small town that there was a slave convoy resting in the town at noon yesterday, and judging from the time and place, it should be the slave trader who took Alice.
It was late at night, and I continued to feed the horses with true qi all day long, even if my true qi was not consumed much because of the strong recovery speed, but my spirit was already very tired, and the two horses that had been running for a day were difficult to continue despite the support of my true qi, and we had to rest on the spot. Thinking that I have been sleeping in the wilderness these days, looking at the starry sky, I can't help but sigh.
"What's going on?" asked Filia in the carriage as she heard my sigh.
"It's okay!" I said insincerely, "Starlight is beautiful, won't you come out to take a look?"
"Well", in fact, I just said casually, I didn't expect that she would really come out after just coming out during dinner all day, but I didn't expect her to respond softly after a while, lift the thick curtain, and sit next to me.
"It's just that I've been sleeping in the wild for the last few days, so I feel a little bit like I can't fit into the human world at all. Although she had changed into a magic robe, and the wide hat on the magic robe made it impossible for me to see her delicate face, the faint fragrance emanating from her jade body still made me feel anxious for a while, and quickly diverted the topic to distract myself.
"I'm sorry, it's all for my sake that you're doing this. She said apologetically.
I said lightly: "This has nothing to do with you, I just felt a little bit for a while." Actually, even if it wasn't for chasing slave traders, I wouldn't have chosen to live in the city. ”
"What's that for? Living in the city is safer and more comfortable than living in the wilderness. She asked, confused.
"That's because of my cultivation of Douqi, as long as I meditate and practice Douqi for a while every day, I can quickly eliminate fatigue and restore physical strength, so I don't need to sleep like others at all, so it's the same wherever I sleep. Moreover, I was trying to hone my martial arts, and if thieves or monsters came to me, it would be just what I wanted. I explained.
She came to her senses and said, "That's right, you can deal with so many thieves alone, even the Sword Master is not your opponent, so naturally you won't be afraid of the attacks of thieves and demonic beasts." But your vindictive spirit is really amazing, you don't need sleep, but it's a bit similar to a magician's meditation. ”
"I don't know how amazing my fighting spirit is, I originally thought that other fighting spirits were the same, but when I arrived at the Swordsman Guild, I realized that I was already a master, and I made a lot of jokes. I used to live in the mountains with my master, and I learned martial arts and fighting spirit with my master, and I rarely saw outsiders, and I didn't go down the mountain a few times, and the master said a few days ago that my martial arts skills were difficult to improve, and if I wanted to improve again, I only relied on constant fighting, so I would come down the mountain. "Naturally, I couldn't tell her that I was from another world, and that she had been on Dragon Island for a year, so I made up a random story like this. But it's not completely made up, I did land with the old man in the mountains before I was sixteen, and I didn't lie to her.
"What about your relatives, why don't they live with you?" she asked curiously.
I smiled bitterly and said, "I have been an orphan since I was a child, and it was the master who picked me up and raised me to the earth. ”
"I'm sorry, I didn't know that!" she said quickly.
"It doesn't matter, after all these years, I don't care anymore. I waved my hand and said, "Don't talk about me anymore, tell me about you!" I didn't expect you to have a ten-year-old daughter who looked so young. ”
