Volume 2 The Land of Chaos Chapter 117 The Long Journey
Time flies, the journey is long, and in the blink of an eye, the caravan has gone through another seven days.
There are similarities in each of these seven days.
During the day, we travel, and at night we arrive at a small village on the route to rest.
However, the small villages where the seven nights were temporarily lived were not large, and both the scale and the lives of the residents were far inferior to the Ziwei Village on the first day.
The next day, the population of the small village where they temporarily lived was less than 10,000 people, but under the warm welcome of the village chief, Lei Luo and his party still enjoyed a special dinner.
On the third day, the population of the small village where they lived temporarily did not even have a thousand people, and the inhabitants here lived in great poverty, and there was not even a single information stone in the village!
But through the rumors of some villagers who went out, everyone still knew about the prince's journey to the east and waited outside the village early.
For some reason, the day's uneventful dinner was the most delicious meal Lei Luo had in recent times, and the village's unique secret spicy soup was really nostalgic.
Lei Luo was not happy, and everyone in the caravan could not be as lively as a few days ago.
Because the inhabitants of this small village are so poor, the villagers' main income is to grow vegetables and fruits, but the vegetable and fruit orchards they run are completely different from what Lei Luo and the others think.
Everyone in Jiuzhou knows that if you use utensils, you can easily grow a piece of vegetables and fruits, but the villagers here grow them with their bare hands!
Ploughing the ground with bare hands, planting trees with bare hands, and even opening roads with bare hands, all because the villagers here cannot afford to buy any utensils, even the most ordinary mortal utensils.
This small village of less than 1,000 people is actually dozens of households, and the average income of each person is only a few tens of silver coins per year, and there are even only two common mortal appliances in the whole village, a well-filled bucket and a bronze bell full of rust.
Lei Luo and his party couldn't bear or push back the enthusiasm of the villagers, and everyone didn't want to spoil the smiles on the faces of these residents.
Most of the meat in this meal is dried meat, but the fruits and vegetables are really fresh and delicious.
The village chief accompanied everyone to the meal, and the conversation at this dinner gave Lei Luo a general idea of all the things in the village.
The villagers were not close at the moment, and the young village chief dared to complain to Lei Luo.
After a short exchange, perhaps because Lei Luo is very approachable, the village chief's demands at the moment are all from the bottom of his heart!
But Lei Luo was even more surprised by this, the young prince never thought of the village chief's appeal.
Not wealth, not equipment, the young village chief only hoped that the little prince of his kingdom would arrange for a soldier to stay here for a few months to teach the villagers some defensive skills.
Because this small village can no longer withstand any beasts or bandits!
How simple is it?
Hearing this appeal, Qi Lei had been sighing helplessly, Han Lingxuan was silent, Yan Yaling and Yan Dan couldn't stop crying, and Xiao Ling, the purple-blooded wolf who had been in the arms of the little princess, was also whispering sadly, and her little ears were shrunk behind her head.
Lei Luo had been looking seriously at the eyes of the young village chief in front of him.
It was a pair of purple eyes that were exceptionally beautiful because of their sincerity.
The young girl lost her father to a beast raid a few months ago, but the village is still there, and the villagers are still there!
For both of these things, the girl took on the responsibilities of her father's life and led the small village of hundreds of people on her own.
Lei Luo looked at the girl, who was not a few years older than herself, although the girl's expression was tired, but more determined.
What a brave and beautiful soul this is!
Lei Luo clearly remembered the name of this young village chief, Zixin!
"I'm sorry Zixin, although I know that my thoughts are definitely different from yours, but I can only give you three choices now, it's up to you to choose!"
"First, I have two hundred and eighty spirit stones here, I can give them all to you!"
"Second, I have a blood-level weapon in my hand, and I will rent it to a nearby village in my name, and I believe that the village will definitely have a very good price income every month!"
"Thirdly, we now have five good legionnaires, all of whom they have just told me to stay here for a month......"
"I'll pick the third one!"
But before Lei Luo finished speaking, Zi Xin replied firmly in the dining hall.
"Why?" After a moment of silence, Lei Luo spoke again, the answer he really wanted to know.
There are two reasons, one is that after all, the environment in which I grew up is different, and I don't know what is the most important thing if I look at this girl's cognition.
And the other point may just be what Lei Luo thinks is a test.
Because of this girl, Relo wants to give this strong little village a chance.
A chance that Lei Luo thinks will change the future of the Land of Thunder!
"Your Royal Highness, if I choose the first point, there will always be a time when the wealth will be exhausted, maybe in hundreds of years, the villagers will scold me for my choice, and the same is true for the second point. Zixin's answer was without hesitation, and she smiled lightly: "My father often said that it is better to teach people to fish than to teach them to fish, Your Highness, I want to really change the living environment of our village!"
Hearing this, Yan Lei, Yan Yaling, Yan Dan, Han Lingxuan, and the five soldiers all laughed, and even the purple-blooded wolf Xiaoling was the sight of the same emotion.
Everyone was looking at Lei Luo, who was now smiling.
"Okay, I got it. ”
Lei Luo slowly exhaled a breath, and at the same time calmed down a little of his now full of emotion, and smiled sincerely: "Zixin, I hope you can appear in Lei Ting in half a year, maybe I will go back later, but please wait for me there." ”
Hearing this, Qi Lei was startled at first, and then couldn't help but remind: "Your Highness A Luo, the distance from here to Lei Ting is four thousand kilometers, and we can travel thousands of miles a day because of the purple-maned horse, and this girl can ......walk alone."
But before he finished speaking, Lei Luo motioned to Lei Lei to stop talking.
There was silence for a moment, and then, Lei Luo stared at Zixin's eyes seriously.
"I remember my father once said to me that if you want to accomplish something, you need to have three foundations: goal, preparation and awareness!"
"I believe in your strength, and I want to do something for this little village, but I need to know your realization!"
"I believe in His Royal Highness!"
The girl's reaction was beyond everyone's expectations, Zixin was very excited at the moment, and said with a smile: "I now have fifty layers of soul power, and I can walk fifty kilometers every day, so the prince has left me ten days to rest!"
Yan Yaling and Yan Dan also wanted to say something for the girl, and as girls, they couldn't bear this situation.
"Although I don't know the mind of His Royal Highness, I believe in our Prince!"
The girl really understood the girl, Zixin didn't give Yan Yaling and Yan Dan a chance to speak, and hurriedly said to Lei Luo: "Actually, I am really grateful to His Royal Highness, because we are all ordinary villagers, and even life is very difficult, but His Highness still gave me the opportunity to choose, and His Highness gave me dignity!"
"The Thunder Emperor once said that the strong are no matter their age!"
Lei Luo suddenly changed his tone at this moment, looked at Zixin solemnly, and said calmly: "Zixin, you have to remember that the strong no matter where they come from!"
"I can only give you a choice, dignity is something you fight for and should protect!"
"Thank you, Your Highness!"
At this moment, the people who felt this scene the most were Han Lingxuan and Yan Yaling.
Han Lingxuan knew that as a prince, Lei Luo was much better than himself, and he could even be said to be the best prince in the world!
Yan Yaling's beautiful eyes have been staying on Lei Luo's body, and the little princess seems to have seen her brother's shadow!
After the dinner, Lei Luo and the others went back to rest.
Before separation, Lei Luo took a single teleportation stone for Zixin and marked it in the village.
Because of the experience of being far away from home, Lei Luo knew that after half a year of dealing with Lei Ting's affairs, this girl would definitely want to return to her hometown impatiently, and at that time, using the teleportation stone was undoubtedly the best choice.
At the same time, in order to allow Zixin to easily pass the guards in the Lei Court, Lei Luo wrote a letter and temporarily lent his identity card to Zixin.
Zixin is even more stressed because of this, you know, this is the identity card of Prince Lei Luo!
In the worst-case scenario, if you die in the middle of the road, this letter and identity badge may become a weapon for some people!
But Lei Luo didn't care about this, he trusted a strong man with consciousness!
We all feel the same way.
It seems that in Lei Luo's thoughts, it is only a matter of time before Zixin arrives at Lei Ting.
It seems that the lonely beast wilderness and the barren thunder grassland are just a journey.
In fact, Lei Luo really estimated this journey!
According to his physical fitness, if he used the Spirit Thunderbolt every day, plus the time to recover and rest, it would take about a month for Lei Luo to reach the Thunder Court from here!
As for any situations that might happen during this journey, Lei Luo felt that for a strong man full of enlightenment, these were not worth mentioning!
Now, as the five silent soldiers wished, the prince gave the order for the first time during this journey, and the five soldiers would be stationed in this small village for half a year.
In order to keep these five soldiers stationed here, Lei Luo and his three close friends and Bai Lei all reached a consensus, and the caravan carriage would be driven by the five of them!
In the early morning, without disturbing any of the villagers, the caravan quietly began its journey again, entering a strange desert.
In the next few days, the caravan passed through mountains, forests, grasslands, and canyons one after another.
All kinds of different environments have only been seen in books, so the four teenagers and girls driving the carriage are getting more and more excited, and their speed is much faster.
Along the way, Lei Luo was in the lead, Lei Luo, Han Lingxuan, Yan Yaling, and Yan Dan drove the other four carriages in turn, and the purple-blooded wolf Xiao Ling was always by Lei Luo's side, day and night.
In the past few days, the small villages where they have stayed temporarily in the dark night are also small villages inhabited by only 100 people, and the news here is even more closed, and no one recognizes the identity of Prince Lei Luo.
Lei Luo is happy to be idle, enjoying the strange landscape during the day and the leisurely peace at night.
The same is true for Han Lingxuan, Yan Dan, and Yan Yaling, everyone cherishes these times with their partners.
But along the way, it was tiring and thunderous!
In the past few days, he has repelled several groups of bandits and intelligent beasts foraging for food, and he needs to estimate the route while remaining vigilant.
But, this is the strength and pride of the captain of the Thousand Men of the War Legion!
The elite of the elite, as long as they are alive, there is no unfinished task!
Finally, in the middle of the night on the seventh day, through a continuous mountain range, Lei Luo and his party came to the easternmost town of Lei Zhou.
Thunder City!
