Chapter 10 Expansion

The boat is docked on the shore and gently rocks in the turbulent water.

Si'Moni sat at the bow of the boat, looking at the man who was as cold and hard as a stone, and his soft eyes were as clear as water.

The work in her hand was done, and she walked with brisk steps: "Here you go." ”

It was a lily robe, a lily robe that she had woven for him with her heart.

The man didn't answer, and Simonny wasn't angry, she knew that his 'sex' was like a piece of wood.

She herself put on a cloak for him, like a gentle wife.

Then she sat down beside him: "Alright, let's continue your homework today." Come, tell me, it's a good day. ”

The man opened his mouth: "Today...... Weather...... Very good. ”

His pronunciation struggled a bit, but it was noticeable that it was much smoother than before.

"Yes, exactly. Si'Moni clapped her hands excitedly.

It's been a month now, and Si'mon Ni has been tirelessly teaching this man to speak every day. She found out that the man was not born with a stammer, he just didn't seem used to talking, he didn't want to speak, and he didn't even know what to say. His vocabulary was so few and simple, his mind was blank, like a newborn baby.

Yes, it is a baby, but it has the body of an 'adult' person, but it does not have the mind of a 'adult' person.

Si'Mon Ni felt that she could change all that, that she could make this man speak like a real human being, normal.

She has been doing this for a whole month.

She tells men about what the world is, how to face life, tells him many stories from his childhood, and encourages him to speak.

The man no longer seemed to reject her, but on the contrary, he was so interested in hearing it that he began to be educated by Si'Mon Ni.

"You've done a great job. Si'Mon Anne excitedly grabbed the man's hand and exclaimed, "Let's say the next thing: How are you? ”

"Hello...... Is it ...... I ......"

"Say!" said 'Mon' Ni with some 'agitation'.

The man thought for a moment and looked at Simonne: "I miss you so much. ”

He uttered those four words very coherently.

Simonny's face suddenly turned red.

"Well...... Very good...... Go on. ”

"You...... How...... Stammered?" the man was a little strange.

Simonny's face blushed even more: "You learn from me...... I'm ...... Learn from you. ”

The man shook his head very seriously: "Learn from me...... Not good...... You...... Hello. ”

Simon Ni burst out laughing, "Well, yes, you're making so fast. ”

The man looked at the smile on Simonny's face, and slowly, a smile appeared on his face.

Simonny looked at it in amazement, and suddenly exclaimed, "Ha, you're going to laugh, you're going to laugh!

Simon'ni's shout drew the grandfather, and the old man glanced this way, then sighed and shook his head back to the cabin.

In the days that followed, everything started to go well.

The man seemed to have fully accepted Si'Mon' Ni, and he would do whatever she said.

He studied hard, and he made very rapid progress, and he gradually became fluent, but his mind still seemed to be a little unclear, and he still couldn't remember who he was or what he was called.

He accepted the name of Si'Mon, Brother Stone.

It is more difficult for a man to learn to live than to speak.

He doesn't do anything, he always makes a mess of everything. Simonne taught him how to fish, and he threw the hook around his neck, and taught him how to cast a net, only to turn around and find the man himself in a net. She tried to free him from the net, but as soon as he exerted his force, the net's shattered pieces of cloth shattered.

Grandpa shouted angrily because of this - he was no longer afraid of this man.

The man was sluggish and unresponsive.

"Don't rush, let's take our time, you can learn. "Whenever this happens, Simonny pats the man's hand and says to him.

As the days went by, Simonne gradually understood some of the characteristics of men.

She found that men seemed to be more accustomed to receiving orders rather than requests.

A lot of times when you ask him to sit down on something, he becomes indifferent as if he didn't hear anything.

But if you give him a direct order, he will do it right away, and often very well.

It is like a soldier who resolutely obeys the orders of his superiors.

So Simonne also began to try to command men, and every time then, she would be anguished, what kind of man was this?

So after much thought, Si'Moni finally made a decision. She turned to the man and said, "You're not a machine, Brother Stone. You don't have to listen to anyone, you're yourself!"

The man looked at her very 'confused' and 'confused'.

Simon'ni is serious: "You have to learn to have your own ideas, it's important. You can't just take orders to do everything. ”

"So...... Is this an order?" the man asked.

Simonny thought for a moment and shook her head: "No, it's a request. ”

"You mean...... I...... Can you do my ...... What do you want to do?"

"Yes!" replied Si'Mon' excitedly.

That night, Simonne lay on her bed.

As she was tossing and turning, she was stunned to find a tall figure beside her.

She was about to scream in fright, only to find out that it was a stone.

In the shadow of the 'shadow', the man looked at her and did not say a word.

Si'Mon' Ni wrapped herself in the quilt and looked at him nervously, only to see him slowly lie down, lying beside Si 'Mon' Ni.

He said, "Here...... It was warm. ”

He slept beside Si'Mon' and leaned on her shoulder, falling into a deep sleep like a child.

Simon'ni had wide eyes and had not slept all night.

From this day on, the man had to sleep on Si'mon' 'bed' every day and sleep with her.

As the days went by, Simonny gradually got used to it.

Whenever a man sleeps beside her, she will look at this man's eyelashes and can't help but wonder what kind of story has happened to this man.

——————————————

Sido.

The land of wasteland, the country of chaos, the country of killing, the country of freedom.

There are too many names that have been passed down because of this land, but if you ask the Westerners what kind of country they are, they prefer to call themselves the land of mercenaries.

This is a country of mercenaries for all, and almost every citizen is destined to be a mercenary from birth. They don't produce, they hate 'yin' schemes and tricks, and they specialize in selling force to make a living. The mercenary from Sido is known as the most 'outstanding' and strongest warrior in the Northern Continent. The production rate of high-level warriors here is the highest in the entire Fengming Continent. With a population of only one million, the population base is less than one percent of the Reims Empire, but it has a number of high-level warriors and peak samurai close to the Reims Empire, but there are very few magicians.

Westerners believe in force, worship force, and rely on force. When faced with contradictions and conflicts, people here are only willing and will only use force to solve problems.

All the lords, themselves outstanding warriors, and even the kings of Sido, had to have great force to serve the people. A weak man who has no power to tie the power of a 'chicken', even if he becomes a king today, will be immediately overthrown by those unruly samurai tomorrow.

Correspondingly, except for the samurai, mages and alchemists are not popular here.

If the Reims Empire and Cito are compared, then the former is like a thriving American country, where people maintain everything with morality and law, and at the same time value civil rights, while the latter is a backward and barbaric African society, where people defend themselves by force, and turmoil is the norm, and it is not uncommon for regimes to be overthrown.

Therefore, when the vast majority of Reims people mentioned the place of Sido, most of them shook their heads in disdain. For them, the place is backward, primitive, barbaric, ignorant, poor in local resources, and meaningless.

When Raschel first set foot on the land, he saw three massive fights in quick succession for the first four days.

Blood flowed like a river on the land, staining it red.

If it weren't for Udick and his four-winged tusks protecting him, he might have been robbed of the country on his first day.

Although the West people are brutal and ferocious, they are definitely not stupid. In the face of the strong, they will also be afraid, will retreat, and will not bubble when it is time to shrink their heads. But in the face of the weak, they will turn into fierce wolves in an instant, snatching away all the merchants who come and go.

Usually people here have only two identities: robbers and bodyguards. A few have both.

"There's Baker Town in front of you. Udick said to Raschel.

The Vengeful Spirits team is now in this town.

I heard that they have taken full control of the town, and that the entire town of Baik is under the control of the vengeful spirit, and Haley is the mayor.

It sounds a little strange that the junior officials here are not appointed by His Majesty the King, but killed by themselves. As long as you don't speak out against His Majesty the King after becoming an official, then nothing else matters. As for the seal, the fist of the Western people is the seal. As for taxes, there is no tax in itself in such a poor place. The state's finances are not based on taxes, but on a number of large mineral veins controlled by the Cisterdo regime. As for the guards...... If you don't even have a soldier under your command, what kind of officer are you?

This is Sido, the power of the red **** 'naked'.

It is even said that Sido has no power at all, only robbers, and not without reason.

They finally arrived in the town of Baike.

From a distance, the entire town is surrounded by high walls, and on the walls stand soldiers of vengeful spirits. The enclosure is a tower every ten meters or so. Inside the tower are archers and mages, as well as a magic orb that can release a magic shield.

Beneath the walls, there were also cavalry formations of iron-backed beasts, a specialty of Cido, armed with spears and crudely armoured, patrolling the perimeter, scouting every passerby.

It looks like a fortress, but if you look closely, you'll see that the defenses are almost identical to those of the original Spark Prison.

This has to be said to be quite an irony - the prisoners escaped from the Spark prison, went to a foreign land, rebuilt a new Spark prison with their own hands, and then trapped themselves inside.

When Raschel came to the town, the soldiers guarding the big 'gate' first sternly asked for his name and checked his identity, and when he heard that the visitor was looking for Haley, he first examined Raschel with suspicion, and then coldly dropped a sentence: "Wait here." ”

It wasn't long before the big 'door' opened, and Haley's muscular body appeared.

Behind him, Chakra and Bailey were impressive.

"You're Raschel?" Haley looked at Raschel, then back at Chakra.

Chakra nodded and said to Raschel, "When Huey told me you were going to come here to help us, I almost thought he was crazy. But I didn't expect you to come. ”

Raschel shrugged: "Things change more than we expected, and no one knows in which direction history will suddenly take a sharp turn and play a big joke on us." ”

"It's going well, isn't it? Bailey said.

"Oh, a little trouble, but it didn't affect too much, and Udick protected me well. Oh, I think you know, he was a student of Huey. ”

Chakra and Bailey bowed down to Udick at the same time and gave a standard salute: "Hello, Lord Udick. Udick, who was younger, accepted the salute with some trepidation.

Haley looked stubborn and didn't say anything.

The difference between people is evident from this point. Chakra and Bailey are former royal warriors after all, and they are very good at seeing what people say. Udick is a student of Huy, and regardless of himself, this alone requires everyone to be polite to him. After all, the Spirit of Vengeance is Xiuyi's, there can be no doubt about this, including Haley, who is just his subordinates, doing things according to his orders. But Haley didn't give Udick any special treatment because of this, and perhaps in his opinion, no one else except Huey himself needed special treatment.

This phenomenon passed through Raschel's eyes, and the old fox only laughed a few times in his heart.

On the way to the mayor's mansion, Raschel got a rough idea of the current situation of the vengeful spirit.

The Spirit of Vengeance was here half a year ago. At that time, it was ruled by a high-ranking samurai named Uhtred Bluff.

When the Vengeful Spirits arrived in Bakertown, their imposing lineup quickly caught the attention of Bluff.

It was clear that Bluff didn't want such a strong force in his town, so the Vengeful Spirit quickly fought the defenders of Becktown. In order to win the vengeful spirit, Bluff borrowed troops from several neighboring towns and fought the vengeful spirit to the death.

The battle lasted for almost a month, and the Six Heavenly Kings showed strong combat effectiveness in the battle, killing the coalition army of Baike Town and fleeing. Haley himself even advanced to the level of Sky Samurai, and Daniel Aynmunger, the Wolf of the Storm, also broke through to the seventh level, getting rid of the embarrassment of the only Celestial King who was not a high-ranking samurai.

"In that case, why don't you launch a new attack at once and take the other towns as well?" Raschel asked Haley.

"Because we had a rather troublesome opponent. Haley replied: "Just before you came, we were having a joint meeting to develop a plan on how to deal with the adversary." Tina and they're still researching it, so maybe you can give us some good advice after reading the plan. ”

"I want to know who the opponent is and what is going on around here. ”

"In fact, that's where we get a headache. Haley replied: "Because so far we don't know who our opponent is." ”
