Chapter 739: Outside Xingyuan City

what's the situation?
Luo Jie was startled, and he didn't care about picking up the "Yuan Laiguang", and directly flew his sword to the top of the cliff hundreds of meters higher.
On the top of the cliff, "Mrs. Seam" was crying bitterly while holding the small baby corpse. The tall girl "Red" was silently accompanied by her, and beside her was a venomous snake that had been smashed into flesh and blood.
Seeing this scene, Luo Jie had already guessed the situation just now, and couldn't help sighing.
In the fantasy world, the task of guarding is always the most difficult. No matter how strong you are, a small omission may cause the ship to capsize in the gutter.
It's regrettable, but Luo Jie wouldn't be depressed because of such a failure.
No player can complete every task 100%, as long as the experience and lessons from the failure can be regarded as a gain.
Besides, even though he didn't get the task reward, at least there was no punishment.
...
Although there was no "Hyakki Maru", Luo Jie still sent "Mrs. Sewing" and "Red" to the Kurama mountain boundary in the outskirts of Kyoto.
After several days in the temple in the mountains, Luo Jie set off again with "Yuan Laiguang".
This time he didn't have a clear destination, he just planned to go around before the illusion time limit arrived.
It is great to be able to discover hidden tasks. If you don't have that luck, you should experience the customs of this era.
Of course, traveling through troubled times is not a pleasant experience.
Along the way, the eyes were full of deserted fields and withered civilians. The bones on the roadside were not buried, and they were smashed by wild dogs.
This desolate scene only improved slightly when it was close to the city.
"Master Master, I just asked the farmers nearby. Go straight along the road, and you will be Xingyuan Castle." "Gen Raimitsu" held the hat and walked on the soft soil after the rain. come back.
"Xingyuan Castle?"
Luo Jie suddenly felt that the name of this city seemed to have been heard somewhere, and the several cities that he had passed through before did not give him that feeling.
"Do you know about Xingyuan Castle?" "Yuan Laiguang" showed a little surprise, and said: "I heard from the farmer that there is an Xingyuan Bay in the west of Xingyuan City, where the saury is very famous."
Luo Jie shook his head with a smile, saying that he had never heard of it.
There are many repeated place names in the fantasy world, coupled with the confusion of the background and timeline of the work, this kind of "déjà vu" feeling is actually very common. If you can't remember it, there is no need to keep tangling it.
Next to the road above Tianlong, a clear stream gurgled from the pebble riverbed.
Luo Jie stopped "Yuan Laiguang" and stopped temporarily, jumped down the soil slope, squatted by the stream, intending to wash away the dust and sweat from his face, but suddenly heard a young girl singing from the upper reaches along with the cool breeze .
The young girl should be young, and there is still a bit of childish voice in her voice, but it is this childishness that makes this casually hummed nursery rhyme reveal a cleanness and innocence that is enough to wash the soul.
Luo Jie got up and followed the prestige, and saw a girl in a coarse cloth standing barefoot in the middle of the stream, bending over to wash something upstream of the stream.
Perhaps it was because she felt the line of sight from outside, the girl turned her head and looked here, her eyes facing each other, a slightly shy pure smile appeared on her childish face.
Just like white daisies blooming in the wind in the mountains and fields.
Luo Jie nodded politely in response. He thought that the other party would avoid him as a stranger, but didn't want the girl to come to him with a stream.
"Is your lord a merchant from outside?"
The girl is very short, not even Luo Jie's chest, but her shapely figure does not look deformed, on the contrary, she is childlike and tender.
Luo Jie smiled: "I'm just an idler traveling all over the place, just passing by here."
"Then do you need to lead the way? I know Xingyuan City well."
The girl tried to sell herself.
"Thank you, no need. I don't have a specific place to go. I just walk around and don't need a guide."
Luo Jie shook the water in his hand, turned around and was about to leave, and the girl followed up with perseverance.
"Ten copper plates! My lord, I am very cheap. I only need ten copper plates per day, and I can serve you at night!"
Luo Jie couldn't help but glance at the girl more.
Although he knows that in this era of life-threatening, it is very common for women to sell their bodies for life, but the impression that this girl left on him before was too good, and the sudden collapse of the human setting made him more or less I feel a little uncomfortable.
Several young children chased each other and ran across the ridge. One of them waved to the girl from a distance and shouted: "Sister Miu, so you are here! Remember to bring us some delicious food tonight!"
The girl waved her hand in response: "I see, be careful, don't fall into the river!"
Luo Jie was slightly startled by the dialogue between the child and the girl.
"Your name is Mio?"
"Yes, my lord."
"You are hired, come with me."
"Hey?"
The girl was very surprised. She didn't want to understand why the adult who didn't seem to want to hire her suddenly changed her mind.
"Mio" is a main character in "Dororo". As an orphan, he takes in a group of children who also lost their parents due to the war. They sell their bodies to nearby samurai in exchange for a meager salary to feed each day. Brothers and sisters.
Despite doing the dirtiest job, this girl has the kindest and purest heart in the world. Unfortunately, she didn't get a happy ending in the original book. She was planted as a spy, and the children she adopted were all taken by the samurai. Kill.
Judging from the previous-life explorer's strategy, there is no mission on this girl, she can only be regarded as a passerby NPC character with a personal independent plot.
But many things cannot only measure the value of income. Luo Jie wants to help this kind-hearted girl get rid of the established tragic fate. In fact, it is also the purification and redemption of his own soul.
There is too much shuttle in the illusion world, too much killing, and people's morality and view of right and wrong will become more and more blurred.
Luo Jie in this life has successfully stepped into the player's first sequence. Absolute force can even disregard the rules and do whatever he wants in individual cases, but this is also an extremely dangerous signal. UU reading www. uukānshu.com
It is human beings who drive power by reason, and beasts are driven by desire.
Luo Jie didn't want to live the way he hated most in his previous life.
Introduced "Gen Raimitsu" as bodyguards, led by "Mio", and the three set off to Kyohara Castle.
Probably because I got a job, I don't have to worry about my livelihood in a short time. "Mio" is in a pretty good mood, with a bright smile on his face, singing an unknown and beautiful tune all the way.
"Mio, you sing so well, why not consider being a singer?"
"Mio" turned her head, her face blushed unconsciously, and waved her hands again and again, "I'm joking, I'm so good at the level of a country song... and I heard that those singers were trained since childhood. Yes, not only do you need to practice singing and dancing, but you also need to read and read, and learn chess and tea ceremony. In the end, only those who are good in color and art can perform as the top performers, just like the girl in Liren Pavilion."
"Liren Pavilion?"
Luo Jie's pupils shrank, and he finally realized where the strange familiarity came from.
