Chapter 25: Badge Acquired
Pushing open the stone door, there were gusts of wind and sand outside, and the cold air made Celia and Jin Yang very uncomfortable. They looked intently and saw four figures walking towards them in the distance.
Getting closer, Celia and Jin Yang recognized the appearance of the four people. Two were tall, one had pointed ears and was an elf man, one was a barbarian with mysterious patterns on his face, and two
A short man with thick limbs.
There are actually three different races among this group of four! Celia and Jin Yang were very surprised.
The four of them walked closer and saw Jin Yang and Celia coming out of the stone house, so they stepped forward to say hello.
"Hello, distinguished mage, we are your mercenary group. You can call me Sith. I'm sorry for disturbing you."
Among the four, the man with the appearance of the Elf tribe bowed and said to Celia elegantly;
"Ah, it doesn't matter. I'm just curious. I came out to see who is passing by here."
Celia and the elf named Sith were talking, and one of the dwarves looked at the stone house, turned to the dwarf next to him who looked exactly like him and said;
"Look! I'm right. This is clearly a stone house. You still insist on saying it's a stone pillar. What I said is right."
"Hmph! I guess you were right this time, but I didn't admit that you were the elder brother, and my mother didn't say which one of us was born first, so why should you be the elder brother!"
The dwarf next to him was blowing his beard and arguing unconvincedly;
"I forgot about that, but I am definitely older than you!"
"Why!"
"Because I am stronger than you"
"Then you can't beat me. I'm better than you. I should be the eldest brother!"
"If you don't accept it, let's fight!"
"Fight with me if you don't accept it!"
The two twin brothers discussed the size of Celia's stone house and got red-faced. The barbarian youths were used to this kind of situation and stood beside them without saying a word. The Elf Sith next to them looked embarrassed.
I wish I had to meet these two guys, it's so embarrassing!
Celia looked at the two dwarves arguing and couldn't help laughing, but the atmosphere relaxed a lot.
"Can we take shelter from the wind near your stone house? There is really no other shelter from the wind nearby."
Sith asked Celia politely, hoping to get Celia's consent.
"Well, of course. Also, I brought the sand lizard next to me. I hope it won't disturb you."
Celia took a look and realized that these people should not be bad people, and their strength was average. Jin Yang could deal with a few of them by himself. Celia was not worried about what they would do, so she nodded and agreed.
Request of the Sith
"Thank you so much. You are such a beautiful and kind person."
The Sith bowed happily and took the quarreling dwarf brothers and barbarian youth to the shelter of the stone house. Several people unloaded their luggage and started to light a fire in his tent to keep warm.
Celia saw that several people were busy, so she ignored them and took Jin Yang back to the stone house. Listening to the chatter and laughter of several people outside the stone house, it added a bit of popularity to the deserted Death Desert.
"Hey, Sith, what do you think we should do next?"
"The next step is of course to go back and hand in the mission! If you and Tietou hadn't caused such a mess, we would have completed it long ago."
The Sith looked at the two dwarves angrily, feeling helpless towards them.
"What, it's not all our fault. Besides, I am the iron head, and that guy is the copper head."
The dwarf named Iron Head was a little embarrassed by what the Sith said and muttered in a low voice.
"Captain, shouldn't we recruit some people? The four of us are not enough."
The barbarian young man with patterns on his face asked in time, which relieved the embarrassment of the two dwarves.
"Well, a lot of what you said is right. When we get to the mercenary city, see if there are any suitable people and expand the staff."
Sis nodded and realized this; while the four of them were talking, they started to eat some barbecue. The two dwarves drank the wine in the small pot in small sips, shaking their heads with great enjoyment. After drinking, they carefully put it in the cloth bag.
, carry it in your arms and keep it close to you. At first glance, you look like an old drunkard.
"Hey, Sith, what kind of team members should we recruit next time? Why don't we invite that mage just now? I think she's a good person, um, suitable!"
After drinking the wine, Copperhead put forward his idea in a carefree manner. After saying it, he felt that it was a good idea. He smacked his lips and nodded his head.
"It's so appropriate! What the hell does it sound like to call me leader!"
Sis had a headache just looking at these two guys. He never did anything with his brain. Every time he tried to talk to them, it didn't work. He got angry and scolded him a few times. As time went by, Sis also understood that it was impossible to talk to these two guys.
You have to use curse words when speaking, otherwise it will be in vain. Sith suppressed his temper and explained.
"You don't even look at his identity. If you dare to enter the Desert of Death alone, how can you be inferior in strength? Besides, he also brings a magic pet with him. That bird is no ordinary bird at first glance, and there is also that sand lizard!
Do you think we can hire someone who can buy a sand lizard and drive away?"
"Oh, if you had told me earlier, wouldn't I have known better? You wouldn't have blamed me..."
The bronze-headed man patted his head with his big hands, looking like he suddenly realized something, and he didn't forget to mutter a few words.
The Sith's veins were already throbbing with the arrogance of this guy, and even the Elf's good temper was almost worn away by these two guys!
Celia was holding a book on the bed, listening to the conversation outside with her ears open. It was very interesting. Jin Yang looked at Celia who was distracted, and followed Celia to eavesdrop, and even drank tea secretly while Celia was there.
water, thought
"You won't let me drink, but I will drink!"
Feeling proud, like a fox who wants to steal the chicken
Perhaps due to his rebirth, Jin Yang’s character and temper have become very out-of-touch, weird, and sometimes fierce.
Just like the robbers who were killed on the way here, if they had the same character as before, they would never kill so many people, and they would not have any mood swings after killing them.
The original nature of Jinwu had a great influence on Jinyang's character, but this transformation was not complete. In the final analysis, Jinyang could not fully agree with Jinwu's nature, which caused the personality contradiction.
Jin Yang himself did not realize this. Only if he completely accepted the true nature of the Golden Crow, would he be the real Golden Crow, the Demon King.
The night passed quickly, and everyone got up early the next morning to pack their bags. The four of them didn't have much, so they packed a few backpacks and carried them on their shoulders. However, Celia's space ring was even more convenient. They could just throw things in it.
The most interesting thing is that the four of them stood upright, watching in stunned silence as Celia dismantled the stone house into stone slabs, and then threw them into the space ring one by one.
After Celia finished decorating the stone house, she turned around and saw the four mercenaries with wide-eyed faces and stupid faces. Then she realized that she was a little embarrassed.
"Jin Yang, do you think I lost my ladylike image just now?"
Celia asked Jin Yang carefully on her shoulder. Jin Yang immediately shook his head vigorously, indicating that she was very ladylike just now. Celia received Jin Yang's affirmation, straightened her clothes and greeted Sisi and the others.
"Good morning everyone"
After hearing Celia's greetings, several people woke up from a dream and responded hurriedly.
"Well, what, Sister Mage, you are so powerful, join our mercenary group! We have a lot of wine!"
Tietou rubbed his hands and said a little shyly
When she heard the bearded dwarf calling her eldest sister, Celia's expression froze and she thought to herself, am I that young?!?
"Idiot! Shut up! How can such a beautiful girl be called eldest sister! Ahem, I'm sorry, beautiful mage lady, my companion has no intention of offending you."
Sis reprimanded Tietou and hurriedly made amends, thinking that if this eldest sister got angry, it would be over.
"Ah, hehe, it doesn't matter. By the way, how far is the Huangling ruins from here?"
Celia smiled, said it didn't matter, and changed the topic and asked Sith.
"Oh, go east from here and you'll be there in an hour or two."
"Thank you, then I will set off. See you later."
"You're welcome, I wish you a safe journey"
Celia got on the Sand Lizard and drove east, and the four of them also set off towards the desert.
Before leaving, Celia also heard the man named Tongtou asking Tietou
"Hey, Tietou, that's obviously a girl, why do you call her eldest sister?"
"Because she is so powerful, I will definitely not be able to beat her, so of course I will call her eldest sister! If you can beat me, I will call you brother!"
"Yeah...that's right! She is stronger than me, so it's right to call her eldest sister."
"You two, get out of here!! I'm so angry!"
"…………"
"…………"
The Sith next to him twitched at the corner of his eye, and had veins pulsing on his head. Finally, he couldn't bear it any longer and exploded!
With Celia's strength and the dragon's ears, she could hear the conversations of several people clearly. These people were so funny that it made her stomach hurt from laughing.
Seeing Celia giggling, Jin Yang immediately picked up the whistle and started cheering
"Wow quack quack! quack quack!"
"Go! Call us from above!"
Hearing Jin Yang's piercing scream, Celia stopped laughing and raised her hand to throw Jin Yang as a ball.
After walking in the desert for about two hours, you can vaguely see erected buildings in front of you. The ancient city walls are dilapidated and have been eroded by wind and sand for a long time. Many of them have collapsed.
"This is it, let's go in and look for it separately."
The city is not big. Celia and Jin Yangbing split into two groups, searching from both sides of the small town to the middle. The abandoned small town was quiet and quiet, surrounded by a khaki color that was bleached white by the sun. There were traces on the walls and houses. There are many signs of damage, and some dead bones are lying randomly on the ground.
Jin Yang looked at the scene around him and sighed in his heart that things are impermanent.
"It seems that this place has been visited many times by mercenaries and explorers. Everything in the city has been cleaned up. Not even a kitchen knife is left. Judging from the appearance of these withered bones, no one has been here for a long time. That's right, if There are so many people coming and going, the badge has long been gone.”
