"Is there a place to rest ahead? Or do we have to travel all night?" After the two teams merged, they continued to move forward. Jia Zhengjin asked during the journey.
"Is this your first time walking this road?" Gu Lei turned around on his horse.
"That's right!"
"No wonder! A few kilometers along this road, there is an abandoned tower in the middle." Gulei said with a smile, "We can spend the night in the tower."
"That's good!" Jia Zhengjin secretly breathed a sigh of relief. After all, he was walking with others, and what he was most worried about was having no place to stay. Using the system to build a wooden house would be easy to be questioned because it was too magical, and it would not be fun if his identity was exposed.
After walking forward for a while, everyone was quiet in the night. Gu Lei suddenly turned to look at Jia Zhengjin: "Pastor Martin, you should be from a noble family, or from a good family, right?"
"Oh! Why do you say that?" Jia Zhengjin lowered his head and glanced at the coarse cloth cloak he was wearing.
"Haha! Although you all deliberately wear civilian fabrics, how can any civilian use a cloak to cover their appearance? Moreover, each of you has a temperament that is different from civilians, and some casual habitual movements also reveal that you are different.
What’s more, who at the bottom of the class like us has the leisure to travel to the island country of Elan with our families? Besides, legal professions are inherently very expensive. Unless civilians are very lucky and highly qualified,
, being taken under the sect of some masters, there will be no such situation as a family. The most obvious thing is that in the battle just now, your wife behaved like a well-behaved soldier, instead of having the same fighting style as us!
It is easy to distinguish between a soldier who is born in the military and a soldier who is born in the city."
Jia Zhengjin was a little surprised. The disguise he thought was perfect turned out to be full of flaws in Gu Lei's eyes. But fortunately, what he wanted to hide was his identity as the Lord of Holy Dragon City. As long as no one knew about it, it didn't matter: "You have very good observation skills.
keen!"
"Haha! This is a necessary ability for an adventurer, otherwise it will be very dangerous to go out." Gu Lei said with a smile, "But Pastor Martin, you can rest assured that we have no intentions against you, we are just curious about your identity!
After all, pampered aristocratic masters or wealthy young men rarely join mercenary groups. Even if they want to play, they can form one by themselves, and then carry a large number of strong men with them as bodyguards. You guys seem to be professional level
It’s not that high, you must have some credentials to dare to go out like this, right?”
"That's not true!" Jia Zhengjin shook his head and said, "We just love to have fun, otherwise we wouldn't have made a special trip to the island country of Yilan."
"It's very dangerous outside," Gu Lei said. "Even professional adventurers or excellent mercenaries may lose their lives! Robbers, monsters, undead creatures, hostile forces, no one knows what they will encounter in the next moment.
What, this continent is very chaotic."
"This is the fun of adventure, right?" Jia Zhengjin said, "When you overcome all difficulties and complete the mission and get gold coins, everything is worth it."
"So, this is where you are different from the common people." Gu Lei said, "The fun of adventure? That is the unilateral idea of nobles or rich people. Low-level adventurers and mercenaries like us just want to have a good life.
Live. If we could easily complete tasks without taking risks and get enough gold coins to support ourselves, then none of us would want to go out and walk between life and death! Just like those businessmen, the reason why they do business everywhere in the crisis-ridden continent is also
It’s just for the gold coins!”
"It sounds like you have a lot of stories to tell!" Jia Zhengjin looked at Gu Lei curiously.
"Who doesn't have stories?" Gu Lei sighed, "Everyone has been living in his own story since birth. Like you nobles, you have the fun of nobles, and we commoners also have the helplessness of commoners."
"You don't have to be a noble to say that, right?" Jia Zhengjin said to him, "It feels a bit like class antagonism. Besides, I'm not a noble, but I don't lack gold coins at home! We are teammates who are traveling together now, why bother to use this method?
conversational tone?”
"That's true," Gu Lei nodded. "I admit that what I said was a bit inappropriate. I'm sorry! However, you also have reservations. So far, no one has shown his face..."
"Well, it's not convenient for me to show my face," Jia Zhengjin said, "I'm ugly, so I'm afraid of scaring people."
"That sounds like an excuse," Gulei shrugged. "What about your wives? Are they ugly too?"
"On the contrary. They are so beautiful that they are afraid of attracting perverts." Jia Zhengjin said with a smile.
"Such an insincere excuse." Gu Lei laughed out loud, "Forget it, we are just passing along the road anyway, there is no need to get to the bottom of it. You don't want to show your face, obviously you have your own considerations for us.
I don’t even care that much.”
"That's right," Jia Zhengjin nodded. "We cooperate along the way and break up when we get there, so why should we care too much?"
The two talked all the way, and the team finally arrived at the abandoned tower Gu Lei mentioned under the moonlight.
On this endless passage, a dilapidated cylindrical building stands in a remote location.
The outside of the building is covered with green moss and vines, and there are many holes in the wall. It feels like the traces of history are very deep.
Coming to the tower and taking a look at the dilapidated appearance, Jia Zhengjin looked at Gu Lei: "Is this the abandoned tower you are talking about?"
"That's right!" Gu Lei dismounted, "Although it's a little tattered, it can actually provide shelter from wind and rain. The key is that the tower has many floors and the space inside is large enough. Not to mention dozens of us, even if
It can accommodate another hundred adventurers. Many people who travel to and from this road will spend the night there. You may find other people when you enter, so don't be surprised."
"Is that so?" Jia Zhengjin nodded and followed with Ruruto.
"Put the horses outside!" When he arrived at the door, Gulei tied the horses under a nearby big tree, then turned around and said, "I will let people take turns to guard them, so you don't have to worry about being stolen."
Jia Zhengjin and his wives tied Ruruto by the tree and placed them with other horses, and then followed the team of adventurers into the tower.
Sure enough, after entering the tower, I immediately found strangers sitting or lying inside, gathered around the fire and watched carefully.
"Hello everyone!" Gulei smiled kindly at them, "Is there anyone up there?"
"No one!" a soldier replied calmly.
"Thank you!" Gu Lei immediately turned back to greet his teammates, "Let's go up and rest. Pastor Martin, you can come too!" (To be continued)
