The Godsfall Chronicles Chapter 1: Caravan
On the edge of the land, the strong wind blows the grass to wither, and there is no water in the dry season.
At this time, a convoy was slowly passing through the wasteland. The main means of transportation was exquisite animal vehicles. Each animal vehicle was exactly the same size and shape. The animal pulling the vehicle was not an ugly Wilderness monster, but a kind of unicorn. , A white horse with a good body.
Every animal car is planted with a flag, with a red background and a green map, fluttering in the wind, it is a flower pattern entwined with thorns. The number of guards in the team is about 30. armor has a pattern of thorns. The weapons are mainly continuous fire crossbows and telescopic blades produced by Elysian Realm. These are very common ordinary equipment in Elysian Realm.
An old man with white hair is the leader of the team. His face is full of traces of carvings over the years. The white hair hangs down his shoulders one by one. Although he is very old, he looks very energetic. One piece is painted with delicate thorns. The floral-patterned silk robe is well-cut, and the black jade bracelet is held in the right hand. Each jade bead shines through friction all the year round.
Unified family patterns, unified custom beast vehicles, unified weapons and equipment.
The animal cart is full of minerals, leather, and herbs, all of which explain their identities.
Thorn Flower Caravan, Sky Cloud Elysian Realm is an ordinary caravan, Lao Jing is the founder of the caravan.
Skycloud City people are naturally proud. Wilderness has long been demonized into a dirty and **** place full of murderers and monsters in the minds of elysian. Coupled with the various prohibitions of Skycloud City, no one wants to interact with Wilderness.
Lao Jing was born as a civilian in his early years. He is a very business-minded person. Because there are many precious materials such as minerals and leather in Wilderness that are unowned, if they can be collected and shipped back to Elysian Realm The processing is definitely profitable. Although elysian does not allow Wilderness to be easily involved, the management at the edge is not so strict.
Lao Jing created the Thorn Flower Chamber of Commerce to become a marginal merchant. The marginal merchants are active in the buffer zone between Elysian Realm and Wilderness. They have complete relevant procedures and do not violate the Skycloud code. However, they will inevitably deal with Wilderness people. Therefore, such people have no status. high. Lao Jing is already seventy years old. He guessed that he should find a chance to retire and become a serious businessman professionally earlier.
"Huh?" The turning of the black jade bead in Lao Jing's hand suddenly stopped. When he did not find a familiar young figure on his left or right, he asked the captain of the guard: "Where has Xiaofeng gone?"
The captain of the guard replied: "He seems to say he is going to find the way."
"This child is playful again!" Lao Jing has a loving expression on his face. He has no children in his life. Xiao Feng is one of his adopted orphans. Although he is an adopted child, he is extremely talented. Lao Jing has been a half-life The fringe businessman who is despised by Skycloud City people depends on his son whether he can shine in the future. "The fringe is no better than Elysian Realm, and it is very uneven recently. Running around alone may be dangerous. Take a few people. Find it."
The captain of the guard showed a wry smile and said: "President, you don't know that Master Feng is a person selected by demonhunter. Although he has not yet become demonhunter, he is already far above me in terms of skills. Do you need some protection from us?"
This relieved the wrinkles on Lao Jing's face, and every gully was full of pride.
demonhunter, what a glorious identity, what a proud name, Lao Jing, a businessman wandering in a gray area, has always only had the qualifications to respect and worship when faced with such a high-level existence. Now his adopted son has been tested with demonhunter talent, and it is very likely that he will become a demonhunter in the future, and Lao Jing is dead and staring at him.
"Although Xiaofeng has a good talent, but after all he lacks experience, let's check it out."
A voice suddenly came from the front.
"Father, come on!"
A seventeen or eighteen-year-old hurried over. He looks lean and clever, with good features and agility. His gray hair is relatively long, and he has a ponytail erected on the back of his head. He probably runs around all year round. When he left, his skin looked like some traces of wind and sun, but it felt alive and healthy.
The boy pointed to a stone not far away, and saw two people behind it.
One man and one woman.
The female looks about thirteen years old, wearing torn clothes, unkempt, very embarrassed, but her eyes are very clear, she is looking at these people who suddenly appear timidly.
The man wearing Mask can't see his age, but he seems to be relatively thin, so he doesn't feel old. It's just that he is lying on a rock at this moment, and he looks like he is unconscious.
The little girl grabbed the dagger and made a panic gesture: "Don't come here!"
The young man looked at the girl a few times. Although she looked embarrassed, she should be quite pretty. He couldn’t help feeling a little bit in his heart: "Don’t be afraid, little girl, we are not bad guys. This soldier brother seems to be injured. ."
This comatose man is wearing Skycloud City soldier armor, Skycloud City soldier armor is military-standard equipment, and its materials and production processes are beyond ordinary people's grasp. Therefore, only regular Skycloud City soldiers are qualified to wear it. If someone attempts to imitate it Or theft will seriously violate the Skycloud code of conduct, and the worst will be exiled.
So when they saw this thin man wearing Mask, the young Xiaofeng, Lao Jing, and the captain of the guard thought that this man was a Sky Cloud Elysian Realm soldier, but why did the soldier appear here? The armor, made of white jade, which is like a work of art, has long been covered with dirt and dust, which shows that he has walked for at least ten or twenty days, and he definitely walked in the direction of Wilderness.
The little girl looks like a Sky Cloud Elysian Realm.
Lao Jing and the captain of the guard carefully observed the person dressed as the Skycloud soldier. Although the person had arrived, they still held a Elysian Realm standard soldier weapon. There were several signs of wear and damage on the surface. Is it a mission? Wounded soldiers who escaped from Wilderness.
Lao Jing made a look at the captain of the guard: "Let the doctor come and see."
The young Xiaofeng walked directly to the little girl. The little girl waved the dagger in panic. When the dagger slashed over, the young Xiaofeng gently pinched and pulled the dagger with two fingers. He snatched the dagger. He put the dagger in his hand to dance a fancy sword flower, and then smiled and said: "Don't be afraid, we won't hurt you."
The little girl was dragged to one side.
She looked at elysian trembling all over, her face pale and looked pitiful.
At this time, the physician of the Bramble Flower Caravan appeared. She was a slender woman. She opened the fallen man Mask. No one thought that the hole under the Mask was a bit younger than Xiaofeng, probably just fifteen or six years old.
How could this guy be so young?
Is he a Skycloud City soldier?
The doctor checked Cloudhawk and turned around and said to others: "It's not a serious problem. It's just a long period of thirsty, dehydration and coma. But the identity of this guy is very suspicious, I think we should just leave it alone."
"Since I met, I always have to figure it out, maybe a good relationship can be formed." Lao Jing turned the black jade bracelet in his hand, he raised his hand and told left and right: "Let him get into the car first. "
The Wilderness little girl looked at the elysian in front of her with trepidation and carried people away. Although she was scared, she still followed. In fact, it is not difficult to find the people in the Caravan of Thorns, including the kind old Jing.
This is a very normal phenomenon. Wilderness and Elysian Realm are in different worlds. In the eyes of elysian, Wilderness people are purely synonymous with dirty and evil. Even marginal businessmen have no good impressions of Wilderness.
One exception.
The young Xiaofeng seems to have no worries. He walked over to the little girl and almost: "What is your name?"
The little girl is very guarded, staring at the person in front of her with both eyes, afraid to speak.
"Don't be nervous." Xiaofeng saw that the little girl's mouth was dry and blisters were growing. This was obviously a symptom of dehydration. He took the water bag from his waist and gave it to her, "Are you thirsty? Drink some water first."
The little girl had a deep fear of elysian, but she was a child, she was too thirsty, so she did not resist the temptation to take the water bag, she immediately opened it and started drinking.
Xiaofeng smiled: "Can you tell me now?"
The little girl did not dare to drink more, she hesitated for a few seconds and said: "Asha."
Young Xiaofeng nodded: "A good name, who gave you a name?"
This sentence evoked Asha's sad past. She seemed to have seen the usually carefree, kind and pious adoptive father in his heart, and the scene where he was beaten and tortured by the Wilderness mob and hanged to death.
Xiaofeng seemed to see the sadness of the little girl, he immediately opened the subject and asked: "Is that unconscious soldier your friend? What is his name."
Asha is young and ignorant but not dull. She knows that these people will save people. She mistook him for a soldier. Of course she would not deny his identity. She just said: "He said he is called Cloudhawk, he is a good person!"
This sentence was heard by others in the caravan.
Cloudhawk? This name is a bit strange, but it looks like the name used by Wilderness people.
"Little wind! Come here!"
Lao Jing seems to be dissatisfied with his adopted son being too close to the Wilderness girl. After all, Xiaofeng will become a demonhunter person in the future. How can the noble demonhunter contact the lowly Wilderness person?
Xiaofeng shrugged helplessly and had to pass.
Lao Jing, Xiaofeng, the female physician, the captain of the guard, and the four began to discuss.
The female doctor does not approve of leaving people behind. She took the lead and said: "We have fed him water, and his body should be fine. It's just that there is still no way to determine his identity. If his identity is false , I’m afraid it will cause us trouble."
Lao Jing nodded: "What do you think?"
The captain of the guard expressed his opinion: "I think it’s better to do more than to do less~ IndoMTL.com~ Besides, each of us has a fixed amount of food and water. If we bring one more person, we will consume a little more. In case of an accidental delay Itinerary, I am afraid it will affect us."
"Nevertheless, everyone has been saved, so I can't leave it alone." Xiaofeng said, "We are only two days away from the Sandbar camp. I think I will take him temporarily and wait for him. Wake up to verify his identity. If he is really a soldier, we can make a great contribution if we rescue him. If he is a deserter, we can make a contribution if we **** him back. Even if the wrong person is rescued, he will be left in front of the Sandbar camp."
Everyone looked at each other.
It makes sense, so let's do it!
The caravan started moving again, but this time just started every few minutes.
There was a roar of thunder from all directions. This was the sound of hundreds of iron hooves stepping on the ground at the same time, making rushing and intensive sounds like gusts of wind and rain. Everyone in the Caravan of Thorns showed awe. They only understood what it meant.
"It's not good, it's a reckless group!"
Someone shouted in horror.
