Chapter 59: What I Saw and Heard on My Way to Dongwan Diwen City
[If you take yourself too seriously in another world, it's often not the same thing!] - White Tiger 2nd Day of the 147th Year of the 4th Age of Light]
According to Rebecca, we will first go to the city of Dongwandiwen, where they have set up a base for the followers of the supreme god.
Dongwan Diwen City is more than 100 kilometers away from Xishui Town, it is a relatively remote city, the road is very muddy after the rain, but we have a big scorpion family, we don't need to rely on walking or horse-drawn carriages, otherwise I don't know what to get dirty all the way down, and the speed will slow down a lot.
This time we didn't take the mountain road, we chose to start along the main road, and it took more than five days to reach the destination, and we also met many passers-by along the way, and they only saw a few more glances at the big scorpions, and did not usher in additional eyes.
At this time, I realized that I had been making myself amorous before, and people in other worlds didn't have time to care about your big scorpion or not a big scorpion, everything was so natural, and I didn't even give you a surprised look.
"My lord, cross the two hills in front of you and you will reach Dongwan Diwen City!" Rebecca said happily.
I smiled slightly, "Why didn't you start spreading from the imperial capital Petergery, but chose such a remote place as the starting point?" ”
"My lord, Rebecca also wanted to start with Peterry at first, but then found that it was not going well; After all, the people of the imperial capital are relatively well-off, and it is a gathering place for nobles, so the dissatisfaction with the Empire of Light and the Temple of Light is just that, and the priests of the Temple of Light there are also very frequent, so after several analyses, we decided to start from the bottom of the remote and suffering people. ”
"Yes, my lord! We feel that the real need to save is the poor people in the remote areas, who are not cared for by the Temple of Light and the Empire, but have to accept the exploitation and oppression of both sides, and at the same time the lowest is also the place where slaves are most concentrated; That's why I discovered this, so Zofia and I led everyone to these remote areas to spread the idea of the Most High God. ”
Rebecca took Zofia's words and added.
"Help—help—"
Just as we were discussing the idea of spreading the supreme god, a group of ragged people suddenly heard the cries for help in front of us.
Several people who asked for help desperately fled in front, and a group of people on tall horses were chasing after them.
After catching up with the whipping for a while, he deliberately let go of the fleeing people and played a game of cat and mouse.
"Hahaha-run-run-run-"
"Run faster—run faster—hahaha—"
There were cries for help ahead, and teasing laughter was heard.
The sharp-eyed Enoch grabbed my arm and excitedly pleaded with me, "Master, master! Deliver them, for there are Enoch's brethren. ”
Before I could agree, Goji had already shot the front pursuer with one arrow, and after shooting one arrow after another, eight arrows in a row shot all the pursuers behind him without dropping.
Today's Goji is also a god-level, and it takes no effort to shoot these stragglers, and he doesn't even bother to use skills or anything.
Those who fled stopped in fear when they saw us, and began to retreat, trying to turn around and continue to escape.
Seeing this, Enoch shouted in the Dark Elf language: "Ouang and Naidong Baomei, Dumen Ou Negeng, Gong Men Xuan Aydonmi!" Don't be afraid, fellow Dark Elves, we will not harm you!) )”
Enoch's words worked, and the men stopped.
But when they saw the three big scorpions, they were still scared and gathered together on guard.
In order to keep these people from fearing us, Enoch and Ava went to contact them under the leadership of Goji.
On the back of the big scorpion, we all listened attentively to their conversation.
"You don't have to be afraid, we are all believers in the Supreme God, these climbing giant scorpions are the pets of our master, the master is very good, he will not hurt you!" Ava said.
"Yes, my master is really good, he has adopted several races in his manor, even goblins, he never restricts our freedom, and he also takes care of food and shelter;
Not only that, but he also took in a lot of homeless monsters, but my master never cared about us, we did whatever we liked, and it was really like family;
By the way, my master is very young and handsome, not only is he a good person, but also very powerful, even the dragon can be easily killed, and now the manor still relies on two golden dragons reluctant to leave the master's manor, one is the golden dragon king, the other is the golden dragon elder, and he can't drive away; I know that bullying my master is honest, and it's annoying to death! ”
Hearing Goji's last words, I was stunned: When did this girl learn from me? It's annoying!
Enoch also hurriedly accosted: "Ava and I were both rescued by the master a month ago, and the master has been kind to us along the way; It's really good to eat and live with us, to work together, and to find out that danger is in front of us, so don't be afraid, we won't hurt you. ”
After listening to it for a long time, I began to suspect that these three girls were not appeased - but co-opted!
"So, can we join you?" A dark elf summoned the courage to ask.
Sure enough, it's being co-opted! I was completely speechless in my heart: let you appease me, and it will increase my burden, what kind of sin have I created—well, just if I didn't hear it, you should be happy!
After guessing what the ending would be, I simply watched my nose and nose and ears and didn't listen to anything.
"Master, the man has brought it back!" Goji said with a happy expression of 'I've completed the task' and said proudly.
"You-forget it, anyway, these people were brought back by you, and you will take care of them yourself in the future, I don't have that idle time, I'm annoyed to death!" I wanted to say a few words about Goji, but I held back.
The cute and annoying eyes of the three of them, as well as the longing eyes of the dozen or so refugees who had just been rescued, really made me feel ruthless.
After saying that, he took out some food and water and gave it to Goji, as well as a few bottles of recovery potions.
Since the people have been co-opted, naturally they can't be left alone, so I asked the big scorpions to lean to the side of the road to rest for a while, so that they don't obstruct the passage of the road.
As soon as they closed their eyes and were about to rest, more than a dozen refugees came running and shouted: "Thank you for saving your life, thank you for saving your life!" ”
As soon as I heard it, why did I call the master?
Hurriedly got up and said, "Don't don't-don't call me master, I didn't promise you, why did you call it?" It's troublesome to be a master—do you know—I can't control the eating, drinking, and lodging of so many of you, I can't handle it—don't call the master, whoever saves you will call her master, don't come to me! ”
"Yes, master!" Goji took the lead in shouting again, followed by a dozen refugees.
"Gogi, Ava, also, also, and Enoch, they, they have to be responsible for you, I don't care!" I pointed at them, I really didn't know how to arrange these people, I didn't know what to say, so I just pushed them to the three of them.
"Yes, master!"
I slapped my forehead: It's over, it's not ladylike to meet someone!
In desperation, I could only lie down and pretend to sleep.
"Master, what a strange talk! Wouldn't it be better to have more slaves—"
"The master has no slaves, and you must remember that we are not slaves of our masters, and masters do not need slaves; The idea of the Most High God is: freedom, democracy and peace, so the master will not agree to the existence of any slave, we are only the servants of the master, not slaves;
The servant is a free and independent individual, although there is a difference between us and the master and the master, but we can still have the right to speak democratically, we can express dissatisfaction, opposition and other opinions, even if sometimes the expressed views are wrong, we will not be punished by the master, but the wrong things and things that should not be said or less, the master may not have an opinion, but it does not mean that others around the master will not have an opinion. ”
This is Alice's voice.
"Yes, yes, yes!" More than a dozen refugees have said.
"Your Excellency! May I ask you, is it true that the adult just said that the potions we drank were all made by the owner? A man of some age asked cautiously.
"Allow me to call you that, this fellow! You don't have to call me an adult, I'm my master's personal servant and personal butler, call me Alice the butler or Alice;
Yes, most of the potions in our manor were developed by the master, and what you just drank was the recovery potion of our manor, which is one of the daily potions among the many potions of the master, in addition to restoring your physical strength and magic power, the biggest effect is that it can quickly recover some non-fatal injuries. ”
"Great, great—I can finally use what I do best, great!" The man who asked for the potion suddenly cried with joy.
As soon as I heard his words, I understood that this man was definitely a person who was obsessed with potions, and I immediately got up and jumped off the big scorpion and walked in front of him.
"You're a pharmacist? Will you mix potions? I asked lightly.
The other party didn't expect me to go over, and said with some trepidation: "Hui, back to the master, my subordinates have learned herbal knowledge since childhood, understand some medicinal preparations, used to be an adventurer, and then wandered around and gave these to - to leave behind!" ”
I smiled and patted him on the shoulder and said, "Hehe-hey—would you like to mix a few of them?" ”
I'm going to assess this refugee, if it's a talent in this area, it's definitely a treasure, and it's also a talent that the estate desperately needs.
There are indeed too few pharmacists in the Giant Beast Manor, except for the elves and goblins who have two or three who can do it, the others are all used for life, and there is no one in research and development, elves and goblins are really lacking in innovation, they are all a group of old-fashioned people, and they will only follow the step-by-step process.
In the end, the refugee did not unexpectedly qualify.
I asked for his name: "What's your name?" ”
"Master, my name is Cablo!"
"Kabro, you should stick to your ideals, be a good pharmacist, and save more people!" I put it this way.
"Thank you for your encouragement, host! But I, my master, let Cablo tell you a story! ”
So I heard this story --
Young Cablo was upright and young, his father was an adventurer, and like most adventurers were away from home all year round, he grew up largely dependent on his mother, with whom he gathered herbs for a living, which also laid a wealth of knowledge about herbs and fostered a great interest in potions.
Unfortunately, the good times did not last, and he did not increase the family's income by immersing himself in herbal preparation, but instead consumed a large amount of herbal medicines, which made the life of their mother and son even more embarrassing.
Later, his father died in an accident during an adventure and died in the mouth of a monster; In desperation, Cablo had no choice but to follow in his father's footsteps and become an adventurer.
But that's not all, his mother also died of illness eight years ago, and after learning the news, Cablo regretted that he had not been with his mother in his last days, so he abandoned his mission and went home secretly, only to be asked by his employer to compensate him for his losses, but he naturally couldn't afford to pay, and then he became a slave without any accidents, was resold everywhere, and finally ended up here.
After listening to Cabro's story, I didn't feel anything, this kind of family tragedy is nothing special in such a turbulent era, but what Cablo wants to express is what I care about the most, so I comforted: "The past can't be changed, I can't care about it, now I just ask if you want to continue to be a pharmacist?" I can give you this opportunity. ”
"Thank you hosts! Thank you hosts! ”
Cablo's reaction was completely unexpected.
After Rebecca and Zofia inspected the work of Dongwan Diwen, we went to the Imperial City to prepare to take a look at the customs and people of the Bright Empire, and then returned to the manor, as for whether we could rush back to spend the winter, it was no longer hopeful.
