Chapter 140: On the Road
Summer, September 92 Aramic calendar. The world has ushered in a new day, but with such a beautiful wind, someone is a little unhappy.
"I said, old goat, why do you get up so early in the morning, you might as well sleep comfortably. Carl said with sleepy, hazy eyes.
"I don't want to, either, but the guy said he was going to stay outside for the night, and of course he was sleepy if he didn't sleep all night. Chen Jian said mercilessly without the slightest hint of sarcasm.
Carlton was speechless, if it weren't for Jian Chen's feelings last night to drive the saliva dragon away, otherwise, Carl would be a pile of dried corpses now. Carl remembered last night's events and was still a little sick to his stomach.
Then, both of them stopped talking all the way. Jian Chen was originally the one who didn't speak, and Carl was hungry and sleepy and even more reluctant to speak, so the two didn't say a word along the way.
"Hey, old goat, you've been walking for so long, and you're going to tell me where we're going?" After walking all morning, Carl saw that Jian Chen still didn't mean to stop, so he could only ask helplessly.
"Go to the city ahead. Chen Jian never left his side all the way, Carl really wondered how he persevered, but he also wanted to know how he persevered.
City of Toldo.
Compared with the lively scene in Qiujia City that day, Carl could only say that he was weak! As soon as he came to Toldo City, Carl knew what it meant to be crowded with people and what it meant to be shoulder to shoulder. You can't even imagine how commodities are traded here. Even in the store, it is crowded.
"Old goat, what are we doing here, you can't buy anything with so many people!" Karl wondered why Jian Chen had brought him here.
"We're not here to hang out, it's the house, let's go inside. "Because of the crowding, it is very difficult for them to want two people to go in together.
"Excuse me, the room is gone, if you want to eat, please wait in line. On the edge of the counter, a fat-headed, big-eared, boss-like figure said with a smile, although his face was covered with oil, and his smile was worse than crying.
"It doesn't matter if you have more than one of them. Jian Chen started talking nonsense, at least to Carl's ears. What he didn't expect was that the fat man who looked like the boss had his eyes lit up and said, "Why don't you sell the lean mutton in the back kitchen." ”
"I haven't seen you for so long, your mouth still stinks!" After the old goat finished saying this, the boss immediately made a gesture of please, signaling to follow him.
"Keep up with the kid. Chen Jian beckoned Carl to follow, although Carl had a lot of questions to ask, but it was obviously not good to ask at this time.
The boss led the way in front, and finally pushed away a group of people, came to a door, pushed the door in, and found that it was actually a larger room, and there were not many people.
"I said such a nice room, and the people outside didn't notice. Carl looked around curiously, and at the same time asked Chen Jian beside him.
"That's a trick here, so that people outside think that this place doesn't exist, and as for any more, you don't need to know, now shut your mouth and just eat. Chen Jian whispered.
"Yo, old friend, long time no see, hahaha, come on, do it. A richly dressed old man sat in the innermost part of the room, surrounded by a group of cold-faced men guarding him. Carl felt his little heart pounding. It's not because of the sense of oppression that these cold-faced men bring him, but because of a large table of sumptuous dishes.
I like it with the old man, how does he know I'm hungry. Carl rubbed his hands excitedly, but as soon as this action was made, several cold-faced men next to him frowned, and a burst of coercion passed directly.
It's a pity, Carl looked at Jian Chen as if he didn't know, and found that he didn't stop him, so let's eat. Carl ate it directly, but this one bitterly hurt the cold-faced men.
Naturally, these small movements would not escape the eyes of the sitting old man. The old man squinted his eyes and said, "I said, this little guy you brought me is a little interested in me!"
"Yes, Heavenly Xuan Blade, aren't you interested?" Jian Chen put down the sword in his hand, sat down and said. "Oh?" As soon as he heard Jian Chen's words, the old man's eyes lit up. "I didn't expect that the completion of the 10,000-year catastrophe means that it is time to wait, and I want to congratulate you. It's a pity that your good apprentice ate my lunch. ”
"It's just lunch, I haven't even eaten breakfast yet. Karl took it in passing.
"Oh, hahaha, I said Lao Chen, it's not good that your dad and child are hungry!" the old man laughed.
Chen Jian was unmoved, and continued to say in a deep voice: "That's why we came to get that thing this time." The old man, who was still laughing, suddenly stopped, and the air in the whole room suddenly became cold.
The old man said with a solemn face: "Which thing do you want? Are you going to come back?" Jian Chen nodded without hesitation and said, "After all, the child also needs to eat, and it is just right to exercise him." ”
"Ha, haha, hahaha, okay, since it was the Sword Master who said it, I will naturally give it, if you can complete the task, I will pay double the bounty. The old man held up his finger and gestured.
"Can you afford it?" asked Jian Chen.
"Hmph, the whole world hasn't done this yet. The old man didn't talk much nonsense, and directly took out something from his arms and threw it in front of Jian Chen.
Carl glanced at it and saw that it was a golden sign, nothing special, the only thing on it was a big "gold". Maybe that's the old man's last name. Carl thought so.
"That's more than twice as much. Jian Chen flipped the token in his hand and reminded.
"I know that the other part is just a return gift, after all, this is not something that can be paid off by owing you a favor. The old man sighed and said. No matter how Carl looks at it, these two people can't be brothers, they have such a deep relationship.
"Alright, we're done with what we're going to do today, and we're ready to hit the road. Without saying a word, Jian Chen grabbed Carl, who was still gobbling up, by the neck and dragged him away.
"Hey, hey, old goat, wait, I've got a little left to eat." Carl ate an astonishing amount of food in a short period of time, and he didn't forget to take one with him before leaving.
"Nick, send someone to keep an eye on them, tell me if there's any good news, these two guys, it's really piqued my interest. The old man took a sip of wine and said.
After dragging along the way, Carl and Cheng Jin finally left the city, although this was only their first stop, but Carl still found it very memorable.
"Old goat, what is that task you're on! Carl asked eagerly as he chewed what was in his mouth.
"The place I'm taking you to isn't an ordinary place, it's a forbidden place for the local residents, but for people like us, it's a place of death!" Jian Chen began to speak.
"This world can be divided into four parts, we are in the extreme east, the north is the desolate north, the south is the wild south, and the west is chaos. This chaos refers to the chaos inside, and even the most powerful masters may not be able to live long in it. So don't always run west if you have nothing to do in the future. Otherwise, I won't be able to save you if you do get there. Jian Chen warned.
"Then you still haven't got to the point!" Karl interjected.
"This mission is just an opportunity, the important thing is how much you can learn on this path, our journey this time is a year, you can learn as much as you can in a year, and in the future, it depends on your creation. Chen Jian said.
"One year? Isn't it four years?" Carl was a little at a loss, if there was only one year to be protected, then wouldn't it mean that this year would not reach the point of not being afraid of saliva, wouldn't it be to die on the streets! Karl shook his head vigorously and shook this terrible thought. No, definitely not.
"Of course not. Carl breathed a sigh of relief, "The next three years will be spent honing your skills, and then you won't be able to hold it out and die." Originally, the previous sentence was fine, but when he heard the latter sentence, Karl's face suddenly stiffened. No way!
"Our ultimate goal this time is to defeat a dragon. After saying this, Karl immediately listened carefully, and even Arthuran, who had always slept, woke up from his dream. The phantom condensed on Karl's right shoulder.
"This dragon is just a wurm, and it's still easy to deal with. After saying that, Arthuran immediately disappeared, "It is a descendant of a fire dragon and a steel thorn spineback dragon, although it is a wurm, but it also has royal strength." ”
"Emperor, isn't that very powerful. Carl did the math on his own and found that the gap between him and the dragon was no longer between heaven and earth, but between earth and higher.
"Are you sure?" Karl asked, "worried."
"Hmph, you also underestimate your master and me. It's not a matter of minutes to deal with this kind of side dish, it's just that I'm usually too lazy to do it. Jian Chen stroked his goatee, looking like a master. Carl whispered a few words, but he didn't know what to say, anyway, it looked like a "fart" or something.
"Hmph, boy, I can't believe you. Forget it, you won't believe it at this time. Let's start training now. Jian Chen's eyes were closed, not knowing what he was doing.
"Ahh Jian Chen seemed to be in a good mood and strode forward, and Carl could only trot all the way to keep up.
"Apprentice, this is your sword. See that thing? (To be continued.) )
