【004】 A new owner
Ai Ze is eight feet tall, his armor looks particularly bulky, and the heavy sword on his back looks a head taller than Wang Man, exuding the pride of a man.
"Hey, boy, do you know the way to the village?"
"Azer, don't frighten the young man. The old man walked up to Wang Man with a crystal ball in his hand, and there was no trace of cunning in his kind face.
But it was not Ai Ze or the old man who attracted Wang Man's attention, but this crystal ball full of hope.
The old man saw Wang Man's thoughts, stretched out his hand and handed the light to Wang Man's eyes, and suddenly the light was gorgeous, and the aura inside lingered like a wisp of free clouds, in the dark world, this pure hope made Wang Man's heart fascinated.
It turns out that a crystal ball can also make you feel warm!
"Young man, don't be afraid, we are fleeing from the wilderness, can you take us to the village to rest?"
Wang Man looked at the embarrassed clansmen behind the old man and nodded.
"Boy, lead the way. Ai Ze couldn't wait to urge, and Xiao Wang Man turned around and stepped in.
The long, slippery and narrow road was long and long, and a young man who looked thin but sturdy led the group all the way.
The people from the castle of Kerry Goode trekked unexpectedly, and their longing made their steps more urgent, but they had to stop and go because of the dwarfness of the guide.
Under the light of the holy crystal ball, Wang Man's whole person was radiant, and his heart was indescribably happy.
At this time, Ai Ze, who was helpless behind him, hurried over, and Wang Man was carried in his hand like a chicken, and then dragged into the crook of his arm.
"Boy, I can't stand your speed, and that's good, just show the way. Ai Ze's thick voice sounded in his ears, Wang Man silently pointed in the direction, only to feel that the wind was whistling in his ears, and he had already stepped a long way in an instant!
Wang Man was caught face down by Ai Ze's waist, the mud of the mountain road was no longer so difficult to walk, the trees on both sides flashed back in rows from the lanterns, forming two impermeable barriers in a quick way, and his head was dizzy, and Wang Man felt that he was flying.
Aize hugged the two of them left and right, Wang Man raised his head to relieve the sourness of his eyeballs, Xiao Aixi's sleeping ice crystal skin was introduced into his eyes, his eyes were serene and clear, his eyelashes were bent between his eyebrow bones, sliding slightly from both sides, the bridge of his nose was pure and handsome, his lips were lightly opened, and he looked like a budding lily in the white brocade cotton scarf. Looking at the vivid little Ash, Wang Man's lonely heart became cheering.
"Hey, boy, concentrate on showing the way!" came Ezel's unpleasant growl.
Wang Man's face turned red, and he turned his head to look ahead in embarrassment......
Arenas on the edge of the Land of Judgment was their end point, and Wang Man, who had lived in Arenas Village for eight years, was placed on the ground by Azer.
In the depths of the silent forest, the two watchtowers at the entrance of the village are lit with two soft lanterns, and a few old fireflies sway back and forth in the lampshades;
Wang Man, who was on his heels, saw the old sallow face under the lamplight, so familiar, as if it was so far away.
In the past eight years, her mother Ji has changed from a beautiful lady with extraordinary charm to a yellow-faced woman with kind eyes and wrinkles, but she has grown up.
Ji Shi was a little timid when he saw the strange visitor, and subconsciously hurriedly greeted his son.
"Quick, come back. ”
This shijie is not as beautiful as Xiao Wang Man imagined, and for the Ji clan, which is deeply rooted in Arenas, no place is safe, except for his own embrace.
Xiao Wang Man glanced back at the crowd sideways, and a relaxed smile appeared on the corner of Aize's mouth, and he walked towards the entrance of the village with little Ash in his arms.
"Xiao Wang Man, who are those people?" In the words, you can vaguely see Ji's lamp trembling a few times in the majesty.
The old man followed Ai Ze's footsteps and came to the entrance of the village, the bright crystal ball also attracted Ji's pupils, and he was drowsy, and the old man bent down and stroked his chest, doing the ancient etiquette.
"This honorable lady, I beg your pardon for our offense, we are the same devastated human beings as you are, and I hope that Madame will not mind. ”
Sola also stepped forward, holding the dazed little Wang Man in her hand, bent down slightly, bowed her body, and said, "This kind villager, just give my daughter and son a sip of water to drink." ”
Looking at Sora, who was beautiful and charming, Ji nodded without hesitation, and stretched out his hand towards his son with staggering steps.
Sora looked at Ji sympathetically, her heart was indescribably grateful, for them, there was no need to negotiate to reach an agreement, and in their hearts, the love for the younger generation was enough to ignore any estrangement and suspicion.
"Mother!" Xiao Wang Man dragged his tired body to the crook of Ji's arm, this time he did not bring the only brutal wolf he caught, although the immature and stubborn Wang Man was guilty, but also full of ambition.
When a large number of discouraged visitors arrived, the village of Arenas became no longer quiet, and all the women in the village began to get busy.
The delicious food brewed under the hands of the industrious villagers made the guests who were accustomed to aristocratic life salivate.
Brown pepper, flax, hare, peppercorns, salt......
The damp firewood can't cover the five flavors of the dining room, and the hopeless sky can't suppress the joy of the mountain village.
The handsome and strong Ai Ze became the object of discussion among the women of Arenas Village, most of whom died when they were young, and some parted ways with their husbands before experiencing the joy of being newly married.
The women carried these foreign men on their backs and talked about it, and whenever the young and beautiful yellow flower girl cast her eyes at the crowd, her face would become red, and these simple details could not hide their lonely and empty hearts.
The old man scans around at the down-and-out construction of the village, and little Ash is settled in a thatched house, surrounded by firefly lamps from the village, as long as it can exude warmth, it can be regarded as a confirmation of the hospitality of the simple villagers.
Wang Man picked up the bow and crossbow in his hand, the crossbow body was broken in the battle with the blue wolf, and in the past, this would definitely make him chagrin and pity, but now it will not, and the powerful liliang displayed by these foreign guests has already stimulated Wang Man's lonely heart.
After eight years, this village, which should have been abandoned by God, has become lively......
The women of the village began to have hope, and the fleeing chiefs of the clan were freed from their low status, where there were no nobles and no slaves.
At the door of the thatched house, two women sat upright, one was gorgeous and graceful, and the other was ordinary and full of wisdom.
"Dear sister, your son is brave, and this is closely related to your teachings. ”
There was no trace of smugness in Ji's eyes, and the modesty made her welcome more praise from Sora.
"Kind madam, your children are the real princesses and princes. ”
"Sister, you are smiling, my son has grown up, and the decline of the family can also take on heavy responsibilities, I just pity my daughter, who is seven years old but has to suffer with the clansmen. ”
Sora's heartfelt words exaggerated Ji's sympathy, Ji's hands pinched each other, his nails sunk into his fingers, and he seemed to be making a choice.
After a while, Ji said calmly: "Distant guests, great noble ladies, if you are accustomed to the life of Arenas, you can live here with your clansmen for a long time. ”
Sora's eyebrows furrowed, and the corners of her mouth twitched slightly, a little delighted.
"Sister, really, won't the villagers here really mind?"
Ji's smile was still kind, she looked at Sora, didn't speak, leaned over and picked up the hourglass on the ground, and handed it to Sora.
Such a human race lives and dies together, everyone spends their time in fear, the scope of human life is occupied by all kinds of evil, human abilities, wisdom, dreams, and hopes cannot be derived, and only wanders aimlessly on the edge of hell, then what will the simple villagers who have never experienced the life of a nobleman with their heads held up at all?
Sora looked at the hourglass in her hand and glanced back at the frolicking crowd, everyone was as harmonious as an old friend she hadn't seen in years, the bleak land of judgment, and the village of Arenas on the border!
Sora smiled with relief and followed Ji into the room......
Since then, the people of Kairigood have been invited to settle here, and after a year of rainy nights, the village has been transformed into a new one year!
The sturdy watchtower is equipped with a unique crystal ball that contributes waves of wonderful crystal energy in the darkness of the night, and whenever the beast is infested, it emits dazzling lightning flashes, and the energy is intermittent, but enough to stun the ordinary large insects.
The leaky house was fitted with a weak energy shield, and the rainwater flowed down from the ridge of the roof, converging into a clear stream path into the forest behind the village.
Wells are dug in villages, walls are built in villages, and a weak human civilization is born here, and the most popular professional fighting skills will be passed down here.
These transformations that secretly amazed the villagers of Arenas were all made by the third-order magician and the count of the Kerry Good family: Rodman!
During this period of transformation, Xiao Wang Man stayed behind Rodman, and slowly began to see another magical way of life from the depths of his heart, which can nourish the eyeballs, become strong, and create the light of hope.
As the years went on, the forests around the village grew denser, and the trees seemed to be tired, drooping and thin, as if they were sighing silently.
As the years passed, the funnel in Sora's hand turned three hundred and sixty-five times, and this year, Xiao Wang Man was ten years old.
