The money bag seemed to be bulging, but in fact there were only a few dozen black iron coins and seven or eight mountain copper coins.

When Chen Xuan was buying a horse just now, he seemed to be taking money from his money bag, but in fact he took it out from the storage compartment.

It's just that I didn't expect to delay such a short period of time, and I was targeted by mice.

It is different from the good security and environment in the various shopping malls.

The situation outside the mall is more chaotic.

It's a mixed bag, with organized thieves and squatting raiders.

From the moment the alarm rose in his heart, Chen Xuan was ready.

It's just that I didn't expect there to be enthusiastic people on the scene.

actually took the initiative to send him a reminder.

Seeing that figure quickly blending into the crowd, it was quickly stopped by a strong man like an iron tower.

The brawny man was dressed in leather armor, revealing his muscular arms.

His arms were thicker than the average man's head.

Such a guy often has more powerful power in the same level of demon cultivation.

Chen Xuan has not taken action here.

Not far away, the thief rat who was blocked in his way had already rubbed with the strong man.

"Nosy!"

The thief was an unremarkable one.

Such a person has no sense of existence in the crowd.

Seeing that the road ahead was blocked, he suddenly turned grim.

With his backhand, he pulled out the rune knife at his waist and made a gesture to pounce on it.

In fact, this is just a feint, as long as the strong man has the slightest intention to dodge, he can take advantage of the situation and use magic skills to run away.

But in fact, the strong man couldn't avoid it, and with a flick of his wrist, he took out a slender chain and threw it at him.

This was a surprise to the thief.

The chains are soft and tough, like long snakes that meander their ways.

Directly wrapped around this guy's waist.

Then the strong man pulled him lightly and threw him up.

Chen Xuan stood in place and looked at it in amazement.

I almost forgot that I was the "bitter master".

This caused him to delay for a moment before rushing over.

At this time, the strong man had already subdued the thief on the spot.

The chains he threw out were very agile.

And the strength should not be underestimated.

This thief with a silver-level magic cultivation was powerless in the face of him, and was almost taken down after just a face.

The strong man took out Chen Xuan's money bag from this guy's arms.

One was thrown to someone Chen who was walking towards him.

"Take it, Outlander."

"Don't be so careless next time."

He admonished earnestly.

"Thank you."

Chen Xuan thanked him very seriously.

It's from the heart.

This strong man is indeed a warm-hearted and good-hearted person.

Nodding, he raised his hand and handed the thief over to the patrol who had arrived in a hurry, and then walked towards Chen Xuan.

He looked at the horse not far away.

The strong man asked curiously.

"First time at Kuroleaf Sentinel?"

Chen Xuan smiled and replied casually.

"Sort of."

"I'm going back."

saw that the strong man's face showed a more rigid and interested look.

"Where are you from?"

"Do you need to travel together?"

"I can protect you!"

As he spoke, the strong man bent his arms and showed off the amazing muscle dimension.

The size of this guy has to make people wonder if he has the blood of a bear monster in his body.

However, his request made Chen Xuan feel a little strange.

"You don't even know where I'm going."

"Can this also be done in a group?"

Chen Xuan asked curiously.

I saw that the strong man showed a touch of crampedness.

After looking around, he whispered.

"It doesn't matter, as long as you can leave the outpost, you can go anywhere."

"It's better to go on a spectacular adventure!"

When the strong man mentioned the adventure, his expression was a little fanatical.

It doesn't look like a mature tower man, but like a second-year teenager.

And the other party's answer also aroused Chen Xuan's curiosity.

He bowed his head slightly, but in fact activated [Insight].

The golden subtitles then appeared, and the expression on his face suddenly became exciting.

[Nanali Harold, daughter of Gideon Hadro, commander of the Black Leaf Sentinel, is adventurous, but has no chance to leave the outpost]

[A dozen Naroa days ago, she bought a special magical artifact from a group of goblin merchants who came by airship, this strange object has high-level transfiguration, so Nanali had the idea of secretly running away from home]

[After many days of preparation, she thought that the time was ripe to sneak out of the commander's mansion fortress while she was in the middle of the lady's etiquette class before the three water clock hours]

……

Chen Xuan was silent.

"Nanali Hadro?"

He repeated it in his mind.

It's still hard to combine this feminine name with the man in front of him who looks like a violent bear.

But Insight doesn't lie.

It seems that this high-level magical artifact purchased from the goblins by the daughter of the commander named Nanali Hadro is indeed a bit famous.

This camouflage effect is magical.

At least Chen Xuan couldn't see anything unusual.

So he was silent, because he didn't know what to say yet.

Seeing that Chen Xuan didn't speak, Nanali, who had turned into a strong man, shook his shoulder.

"Good brother, what's wrong with you?"

Although it is difficult to accept the reality, but in the face of her urging.

Chen Xuan still asked more.

"Are you sure you want to come with me?"

"But I'm from a very boring place."

Again, he emphasized.

The commander, who has a dream of adventure and is eager to run away from home, seems to have made up her mind.

Her muscular face was full of beards.

At this time, he nodded impatiently.

"Of course, it's up to you."

"What a great opportunity."

"You are weak and can't help it, and you have a free bodyguard."

She tried to persuade her.

Chen Xuan's thoughts swirled in his heart.

In fact, he really didn't know how to solve this situation.

If you twist Nanali in front of you in front of the commander of the Black Leaf Sentinel, there is a high probability that you will be able to gain the friendship of the other party.

But if Nanali is abducted...

Another possibility suddenly occurred to him.

Maybe this can be a hole card to take the Black Leaf Sentinel at a critical moment.

Thinking of this, he nodded with a slightly reluctant expression.

"Okay then."

"Let's go out of town together."

After he said this, the strong man's eyes showed a look of expectation.

"Great, it was a wise decision."

"My name is Nellie Rhodes."

"What about you?"

She made up a random name and took the initiative to introduce herself.

"Xuan Chen."

Chen Xuan casually said nonsense.

But I saw that she thought about it seriously.

"Hmm..."

"Weird name."

"Are you from the eastern border of the continent?"

"The people of the Duroa Kingdom have deep cheekbones."

"And your appearance is somewhat similar to those Orientals in the album."

Chen Xuan did not give a positive answer to this question.

Strictly speaking, he is indeed an Oriental.

But not the Orientals of Naroa.

It's the Oriental of Blue Star.

But Nanali Hadro certainly couldn't understand this.

So there's no need to explain anything.

It's a topic of nonsense, and the more you talk about it, the easier it is to deviate.

"By the way, have you ever seen a rotting claw?"

"They are said to like to lurk under the mud and bite off the second child of the animals that come to the moor to drink."

Nanali thought her disguise was seamless.

Therefore, there is no taboo in speaking.

How can a lady put such a vulgar word as the second child on her lips.

In the face of her noise, Chen Xuan casually prevaricated a few words with a lukewarm attitude.

He'd never seen any rotting clawed beasts somewhere.

There are many kinds of demonic beasts in the Naroya Continent, and their limelight has been stolen by monsters.

However, in order not to disappoint Nanali, he still made a rather serious gesture of listening.

The exchanges between the two sides along the way further proved that Insight's observations were correct.

The guy in front of him is definitely a big guy in Nanali Hadro's disguise.

Chen Xuan took the reins of the horse and walked forward.

Nanali's disguised strong man followed behind him, his face full of anticipation and curiosity, which was the yearning for the outside world.

The two sides chatted with each other.

It's hard to imagine why such a pampered canary would be so curious about the world beyond the sentinel site.

The thief and rat just now seemed to have become a thing of the past, and neither of them mentioned it again.

After coming to the checkpoint at the sentinel point.

The two passed the inspection without any danger.

Chen Xuan was visibly relieved to see Nanali, and his expression became more relaxed.

It's like seeing a bird in the blue sky, it's the desire and longing for freedom to fly.

As long as you leave the checkpoint for more than 10 kilometers, you will be considered to be initially out of the defense area of the Black Leaf Sentinel.

Chen Xuan rode the valley horse by himself.

There is no idea of pity for the jade.

Although he peeked into the true identity of the big man behind him.

But at this point, you have to pretend that nothing happened.

Just think of her as a big man who picks her feet.

Therefore, Chen Xuan rode a horse, and Nanali could only walk behind.

From time to time, he looked back and said a few words.

This makes the two of them look not like fellow travelers, but like noble lords and stupid big servants.

Nanali Hadro is no surprise at all.

Her eyes were almost greedy for everything in the outside world.

They passed through the outlying positions of several towers, and finally walked out of the garrison range of the Black Leaf Outpost and embarked on a straight road to the west of the Outpost.

"You're so strong, do you have the blood of a highland barbarian or a bear monster?"

After stepping out of the sentinel range, Chen Xuan saw that the time was ripe, and began to try to take the initiative to guide the topic.

When it comes to issues such as body and blood, Nanali is always a little uncomfortable.

The reason why she looks like a big man is entirely her personal curiosity and defensiveness.

It is not easy to attract people's attention, and it has its own deterrent power.

But she overlooked one point.

That is, if the appearance is too eye-catching and contrasting, it is also easy to be eye-catching.

A strong man with a height of more than 1.9 meters and thick arms, but his style of action tends to be childish.

As long as you communicate a little, it is easy to show the stuffing.

And Nanali is obviously a little broken jar.

She did not dare to rush through the checkpoint.

Therefore, I was ready to take a random person as a cover.

Chen Xuan happened to be the "lucky one".

Nanali hesitated for a moment before she had an answer.

"No... I don't have Highland barbarian or bear blood. ”

"In fact, I am a human being of pure blood."

Her explanation brought a smile to Chen Xuan's face.

For Nanali, who was born in the aristocracy and paid attention to blood, it was naturally impossible to admit that she had foreign blood.

"Tsk, then you're really strong."

He sighed, like a compliment, but more like a joke.

This made Nanali aware of something.

Suddenly asked with some curiosity.

"Isn't it good to be strong?"

Chen Xuan turned his head and glanced at her first, and then explained casually.

"Being too strong makes you more visible."

"If it's on the battlefield, it's easy to be a target for siege."

"You stand in the crowd, no less than a lighthouse in the night, you can be seen at a glance."

Hearing his words, Nanali looked thoughtful.

"I see..."

"Sure enough, you can't take too much of the advice in the book!"

She muttered to the lips of a whisper.

Chen Xuan stared at her with interest.

"What are you talking about?"

"In the book?"

The Demon Essence cultivators were all strengthened by their senses, and naturally they could hear her muttering.

So Chen Xuan didn't hide it.

"Oh... It's nothing. ”

"By the way, where are we going?"

Nanali finally came out of the excitement of leaving the outpost.

Suddenly, I remembered the most important issue of the moment.

"To the west, Magdam."

Chen Xuan didn't intend to hide it, and replied very happily.

"Magdam City."

Nanali repeated, then asked.

"Didn't you just go through a demonic plague?"

Magdam's plague is no secret to the surrounding area.

So it's not surprising that Nanali would know about this.

"Yes, there have been plagues there."

"But now it's safe."

"Truth be told, I'm an adventurer."

"An interesting ancient ruin has been discovered near the city of Magdam, so I plan to investigate."

"Then you're still willing to follow me?"

Chen Xuan chose to get straight to the point and said yes.

Hearing that he claimed to be an adventurer, Nanali was stunned.

I couldn't help but slow down until I stopped completely.

"Adventurer?"

"You?"

"But you're so weak that you can't even detect a thief and a mouse."

She had deep doubts.

Again, this is a cognitive bias caused by preconceived ideas.

At this time, the two of them had already left the sentinel for twenty or thirty kilometers.

Chen Xuan stopped and raised his right hand.

The next moment, a layer of gold-level magic essence suddenly emerged from his arm.

"If it weren't for you shouting too fast."

"He should be taught a lesson by me."

"How's that, are you still willing to follow me?"

Chen Xuan continued to ask.

"Are you really an adventurer?"

"Of course!"

"Then I'm willing to follow you!"

After receiving an affirmative answer, Chen Xuan hooked the corners of his mouth.

"Very well, then come with me now."

So saying, he turned his horse's head and walked towards the hidden grove beside him.

Nanali, who was in place, hesitated for a moment, but chose to follow.
