I came out of the market very embarrassed. The difference was that I didn't plan to spend money when I went in. When I came out, I had spent four gold coins and only got... two skinny slaves.
Disappointed, he returned to the hotel with the two slaves who could not even walk. In order to prevent more people from seeing the joke, he had to ask the waiter to deliver some food to the room.
When the food was served, the eyes of the two slaves suddenly seemed to glow like magic lamps, and they even drooled unconsciously. Looking at the miserable appearance of the two slaves, Yalic said helplessly: "Here,
You eat and become like this when you are hungry, alas!"
The two slaves rushed forward like crazy, grabbed the food with both hands and put it in their mouths, finishing the meal for three people on the table like a storm.
Yaliqi's eyes widened and he was surprised to see them licking the plates. Yes, they were licking them. It was not until the plates reflected the afternoon sun that the two of them looked up at their masters with unfulfilled interest. Yaliqi's throat was tight.
He couldn't help but swallow, and then asked: "How long has it been since you two have eaten? How can you eat so much?"
Faced with such a surprised question from the owner, one of the two people opened his mouth and said: "Hiss... Yeah." Then he coughed twice, pointed to his throat, indicating that he could not speak, and then stretched out a hand.
, spread his fingers and looked at Yalic.
"What? Five days! These people are too hateful, how can they torture people like this?" Yalic pushed away the chair angrily, stood up, walked around the room angrily twice, and asked distressedly:
"Then do you still dare to eat it? Will it ruin your stomach?"
"Ah...ah..." The two shed tears excitedly, and then nodded vigorously.
Yaliqi felt cruel, opened the door and shouted to the waiter not far away: "Bring me more meals for three people, and some soup!" Then with a "bang", he closed the door hard and sat there.
He didn't say a word, and he didn't know whether he felt sorry for the situation of the two of them or for his money.
The two slaves stood there, not daring to move, and only started to move again when the food was served...
During this period, Yalich called for food twice more, and the two of them indicated that they were full.
The two of them saw that Yaliqi was silent, so they were silent, so the room suddenly became quiet. After a while, one of the slaves coughed a few times, cleared his throat and said: "Master... cough... cough
..Master, we can talk now."
"Oh, ah! Can you talk? That's great." Yalic's reaction was a little slow. In fact, he was thinking about how to arrange the two people. He called "Master" at once, which was really uncomfortable.
And it’s so edible, how can you afford to keep it? At this moment, I even regretted my impulsiveness, but there is nowhere in the world that sells regret medicine.
So, Yaliqi thought for a while and said: "What are your names and where are you from? I just couldn't stand the cruel methods of those people, so I bought it. Why don't you go home?" The current situation,
Yaliqi could no longer protect himself, not to mention these two guys. I just calculated that he ate nearly three silver coins in one meal. This was not a delicacy, but an ordinary meal.
Yaliqi can only eat twenty copper coins per meal. Calculating this, taking the two of them with him and just eating will cost him one gold coin a day. It is not feasible to continue like this.
"Boom, boom." The two of them knelt down when they heard what Yaliqi said. Then one of them said sadly: "Master, please don't drive us away. Even if we go back, there is no way to survive. If the master is kind,
If you don't worry about us escaping, we can make money for our master and won't be a drag on him. If you drive us away, we will eventually fall into the hands of those slave traders, and our lives will be worse than death!"
"Can you make money?" Yaliqi's eyes lit up. After hearing the next words, his mood suddenly sank again, and then asked: "What on earth is going on?"
"Actually, this is what happened..."
The two of them slowly told Yalich about their experiences. After listening, Yalich sighed and said nothing more.
It turns out that these two people are really from the Rikishi clan, one is named Ram and the other is named Lucky. They were caught by slave traders. In fact, they were not caught by them with difficulty, but were deceived by them.
..
Three months ago, Ram, Lucky and the other remaining tribesmen followed the tribe leader's orders before his death and dispersed from the gathering place to find a new habitat. After walking for many days, they finally walked out of the mountains, and then
I met the big beard and his escort. They had never interacted with outsiders since they were born. The big beard easily found out their details, and then after they finished eating the dry food they brought with them, he took the money they brought with them.
They also deceived them, but instead of providing them with food as agreed, they drugged them while they were eating, tied them up, and kept them hungry. Every few days, they were given a steamed bun to each of them to prevent them from starving to death.
In this way, we took him all the way to Star City.
"Then why don't you want to go back? I'm not that kind of cruel person, and I don't want you to become slaves." Although Yaliqi was angry, he was more surprised. He had already said that he would not keep them, but Lachi
Mu and Lucky seemed determined to stay.
At this moment, Ram and Lachi looked at each other, and then sighed deeply. Then Ram looked at Yalic again, then gritted his teeth and said: "Anyway, that's the situation, then
Just tell you..."
No wonder the two of them refused to go back no matter what. It turned out that this was related to the secrets of the Rikishi clan——
In ancient times, there was no divine court on the mainland, and there was no magic formula for cultivation. People exercised their bodies through normal training, and it was not the same as it is now. According to the area ruled by the main city, the divine court managed the main city.
Instead, it was divided into many countries. For some unknown reason, the countries began to fight against each other. At this time, the specialness of the rikishi clan became the reason for the competition among the countries. They had good military force without training, and they were born with supernatural powers.
Invincible on the battlefield.
During the decades of war, the Rikishi clan continued to develop and grow, and finally ruled a country. Their soldiers were extremely brave, and their generals were as invincible as gods of war. Just when the Rikishi clan had conquered half of the continent, the Divine Court suddenly appeared.
, they claimed that by believing in the gods, they could gain power and defeat the evil warrior clan, which was like providing help in times of need. The remaining countries joined the rule of Shenting one after another, and Shenting passed on the secrets of their practice and formed an army.
The army directly improves the cultivation level of the entire army. This army is the current Temple Knights.
The army of the Rikishi clan was vulnerable to the Temple Knights and retreated steadily. In the end, the Rikishi clan was defeated. The tribesmen were captured by large groups and massacred. In the end, only a few hundred people were left and retreated into the Lost Mountains that have been shrouded in fog all year round.
In this way, the Rikishi clan withdrew from the stage of history. From then on, it was only passed down among the people from generation to generation and became a story. So when the bearded man said in the market that they were the Rikishi clan, many people below did not believe it, but found it funny.
, if you have caught all the characters in the story, then you are not a god yet.
After the Lux clan retreated into the Lost Mountains, they found a water source as a habitat and survived. Originally, there was nothing wrong with them. With the hard work of the Lux clan, there was no problem with food and clothing. But in the past ten years,
Over the past few years, the fog in the mountains has become thicker and thicker, which has seriously affected their lives. Moreover, the fog has become thicker. Breathing all day long has caused the natural power of the Rikishi clan to slowly decline. Therefore, the current patriarch is
Before his death, in order to avoid the complete disappearance of the Rikishi clan, he issued an order for them to find their own habitats. This might preserve the blood of the Rikishi clan. After all, hundreds of years have passed, and the people on the road may have long ago
I have forgotten about the Rikishi clan.
"Master, we have told you our situation, so we hope you will stay with us. Although we eat a lot, we can still work. According to you, if the two of us recover, we will be equivalent to you."
The senior martial artist should be able to help you make money. If we leave, we will still be hungry. That's it..." Ram pointed at the mark on his head, and then said helplessly: "That's it, we can't move any further.
."
"Oh, okay, otherwise what else can I do, but you two can't call me master anymore, I can't bear it," Yalic really had nothing to say, "You have told all your secrets
Me, we are friends, you just call me by my name."
"That's not okay. If you don't say that we have a mark on you, even if you saved our lives with your kindness, we can't call you by your name. Since you don't want us to call you master, then we can call you sir.
"Lachi said quickly, Ram nodded in agreement, and then looked at Yalich together.
"Oh," Yaliqi scratched his head and said anxiously: "We are all about the same age, why don't you call me...call me...hey, okay, just call me adults."
Now that the deal was done, he stopped thinking about the unpleasant things, so Yalic calmed down, asked them to sit down, and then asked: "You said that after you recover, you will be like a senior martial artist.
what's going on?"
"Let me tell you this, sir." Lucky took over and said, "Because our strength is innate, it will increase with age. For example, we are all twenty-one years old now. If we are thirty-five years old,
By that time, our strength will reach the level of your senior military generals, and then it will slowly decline with age until we die. Because our two bodies are damaged, we are still unable to exert the power of your senior martial arts masters."
"Oh, that's it, how long will it take to recover?" Yalic asked again.
"If...if..." At this time, Ram and Lachi's faces turned slightly red, and they said sheepishly: "If you can have a full dinner and have a good sleep at night, you will be able to recover tomorrow.
"
"..." Yaliqi's eyes widened and he was speechless.
The money that was already not much was spent by two more people. In what year and month could we continue heading east? In order to let Ram and Laqi recover as soon as possible, the sad Yaliqi spent another gold coin on a dinner.
Two silver coins.
What is gratifying is that after a night's rest, Ram and Lachi were both in high spirits the next day. Apart from the somewhat unsightly mark on their foreheads, they were also extremely powerful.
After the three of them had breakfast together, they came to the Mercenary Guild again. Yalic was not a lazy person. Although he saw more when he went out than when he was at home, he also had a lot of worries.
Yalich stared intently at the magic board that issued the mission. Ram and two people stood behind him. They were much taller than Yalich. If you looked from behind, you could no longer see the Yalich people.
"Three, five, two, three. Oh, isn't there a little more?" Yalic said to himself in annoyance. Ram and the others were not worried about his lack of money. They were satisfied as long as they had enough to eat.
, and Yalich is not only responsible for keeping them fed, but also wants to save more gold coins so that they can move eastward as soon as possible.
Today, Yaliqi no longer looks at those low-level and elementary missions. At least the two people behind him also have the ability of high-level martial arts masters, so they are ready to take on an intermediate mission, and the rewards will be more.
"Go to the mountains north of the city to investigate the mystery of the flocks of birds that have gathered in recent days. You will be rewarded with twenty gold coins. Well, that's more than enough, so I'll take this one." Yaliqi made his choice and went to accept the task.
As soon as the three of them walked out of the door, Yaliqi suddenly turned back and asked the two Rams: "Do you know about the gathering of birds mentioned above?"
"Well, we know this. When we were brought back to the city, we also encountered many birds flying in flocks to the north of the city. We don't know about the others." Lackey replied.
"Well, north of the city, okay, we'll go there in the afternoon." After saying that, Yalic led the two of them to the blacksmith shop nearby.
Because when they go into the mountains, they may encounter wild animals or something, so Yalic plans to buy a weapon for Ram and Laqi. One is for them to use for self-defense, and the other, and the most important reason, is to allow them to
He has to protect himself, because the current situation is that both Ram and Laqi have the power of high-level martial arts, and Yaliqi himself is only a senior martial artist at most. It is also because of Ram Laqi that he dares to go
Accept intermediate tasks.
When you walk into the blacksmith shop, a man immediately comes to greet you in the front store, and the sound of "ding, clang, clang, clang" of forging iron can be heard from the backyard.
"Sir, what do you want?" This guy was very smart. He could see the marks on the foreheads of the two people behind Yalic at a glance and knew that the person in front of him was the real owner.
"Well, I want to buy two weapons for my servants to use. I don't know if there are any suitable ones." Yalic said cheerfully.
"It turns out it's for them. Yes, of course there is. Please look here." The man thought for a moment and pointed to a corner of the house. He saw that this corner was filled with some rusty knives, axes and other weapons. Look.
Deyaliqi felt a little unhappy. There were better ones, but he allowed himself to look at these rubbish. When he was about to speak, he saw Ram and Laqi turning their heads and looking to the other side.
So Yalich also looked over and saw two shields placed against the wall in another corner. These shields were extraordinary. Yalich walked over and compared them. He saw that they were about two feet wide, four feet high and had a fist.
So thick, the most important thing is that there are four or five short spikes on the front of the shield. They look very sharp, but because they are short and connected to the shield, they will not break. I lifted it up
Each weighs about a hundred pounds.
"These two shields were sold here by a passing caravan. I heard they were picked up from a ruins. If you want them, sir, you can get two shields for one gold coin," the clerk said quickly.
"Is it okay?" This question was asked to Ramlaqi and the two of them. They stretched out their hands to lift the shield, put it on their shoulders, jumped a little, and said happily: "Well, well, very good, very good."
Suitable for use.”
Yalic also smiled and said, "That's good." Then he turned around, paid the money, and left the blacksmith shop.
Then he went to buy "some" dry food, blankets and other items, packed a big package, and then left the city.
The journey this time didn't seem very far, because Star City was originally built on the mountain, but Star City was very big, so it was already afternoon when they reached the foot of the mountain, so they followed the road between the mountains.
The path goes directly into the mountain.
It is strange to say that there is not a single bird in such a large mountain forest, and there are no other animals. It is so quiet and scary that everyone seems to be hiding.
After climbing two hills, a small river appeared in front of me. I rested by the river for a while, then found a big tree and sat down to rest. Yalic said: "If we continue to look for it, maybe we will be able to find it at night."
We will be trapped in the woods, I think we should just spend the night here and continue tomorrow morning." Ram and the two laughed without saying a word, so they rested under the tree for the night.
Early the next morning, the three of them continued to search deep into the mountains. After walking for a while, Ram accidentally stepped on a dead branch and made a "click" sound, which seemed so loud in the quiet forest.
Not far ahead, there was the sound of a bird flapping its wings. Yaliqi shushed the two of them, and then the three of them tiptoed over there.
In fact, it was only about twenty meters long, but it was blocked by several ancient trees, so they couldn't see it. After walking around the ancient trees, before they could think about anything else, the three of them were immediately stunned.
.
I saw a lot of birds standing on the trees, rocks, and ground in front of me. They were everywhere, big and small, and even giant falcons. But at this moment, these birds stood together like good friends.
, neither of them made a sound, which was really surprising.
Suddenly, a small tit on the stone opposite jumped up and down to Yaliqi. Yaliqi was about to ask Ram and Ram for their opinions. When he turned around, he saw Ram.
Lachi and Lachi opened and closed their mouths to themselves with strange expressions, and did not speak. Just as they were wondering, Ramlachi grabbed one of Yalic's arms and roared: "Run!"
The two men pulled Yaliqi and ran away. Although these two people were taking Yaliqi with them, it did not affect their speed. They saw the two of them walking three steps at a time, almost touching the tips of their toes, and then started walking again.
He jumped up and ran quickly out of the woods.
But those who could run could not compete with those who could fly. Behind them, a large group of birds came whirring, and the fastest flying one was of course the most ferocious falcon.
With a scream of "Ah...", Yaliqi was pecked by the giant eagle on the back. There was no wound. After all, he was still wearing armor, but the huge force still made Yaliqi open his mouth and spit out a mouthful of blood. Ram's heart was filled with excitement.
In a hurry, he sent Yalic away, then turned around with his shield and slapped the giant eagle to the ground. He waved it a few more times to stop other birds. These birds did not chase Yalic who had escaped, but
Crazy attack blocked Ram.
Ram shouted loudly: "Lachi, get the adults out of here quickly!" Then he continued to wave his shield. There were endless birds. It was unknown how many were killed by Ram, and more flew over from behind to join the attack.
team.
At this time, Yaliqi was picked up by Laqi. When he looked back, he could no longer see Ram's figure. He only saw thousands of birds flying in a ball. But he thought Ram might be there at this time.
..
Tears flowed from the corners of my eyes. I have never experienced this feeling before. Even when my father passed away, I didn't feel as complicated as I do now. He is not a relative, but he is better than a relative. He stood up for himself without hesitation, and his heart was filled with tears.
The stinging pain, coupled with the heavy blow just now, Yalic finally couldn't hold on and passed out.
When he woke up, it was already night. He looked around and saw that it was still the same place where they rested last night. Lucky was sitting next to him. When he saw him waking up, he said in a deep voice: "Sir, you're awake.
.If we go back tomorrow morning, we may not be able to complete this task."
"Where's Ram? Is he back?" Yaliqi sat up and asked anxiously, and looked around, but did not see Ram. His eye circles turned red again, and he murmured in a low voice: "
Ram, I’m sorry, it’s all my fault.”
It was the first time that Yaliqi felt guilty because of his greed, and it was also the first time that he felt that his ability was weak. He not only blamed himself severely in his heart.
Both of them were silent. When it was midnight, Yaliqi listened carefully and made sure that Lucky had fallen asleep. He quietly got up, picked up his weapon, and walked quietly towards the mountains and forests. He wanted to
Going to find Ram, what Yalic was thinking at this time was, "Even if Ram dies, he must find his body, otherwise he will die with him. If he doesn't do this, he may not be able to live forever."
I feel at ease."
When Yalic came to the place where he was separated from Ram, he only vaguely saw blood stains on the ground and some fragments of clothes, but did not see Ram or his body.
"If Ram is fine, he will definitely go back the way he came, but the fact is that he didn't go back. Could it be that... was he eaten by a bird?" The more he thought about it, the more he became afraid and angry.
They rushed towards the woods where they found the birds.
Just after bypassing those ancient trees, Yaliqi was stunned by what he saw in front of him. Is the outside world so full of drama? When he was impulsive, he thought that if it didn't work, he would die here, but
What he saw in front of him once again made his mind go blank. What on earth did he see?......
