Jia Zhengjin looked at the black-haired boy in front of him who was devouring bird meat, and actually felt quite helpless.
It turned out that those knights were not coming after me. Their target was this boy who looked to be only thirteen or fourteen years old and smaller than himself.
Probably when he was fast asleep, the little boy fled to his temporary house. In order to hide, he climbed onto the roof and got under the butterfly-winged bird's body.
The butterfly-winged bird is a very gentle creature. If left alone, strangers can take it away at will. Therefore, the little boy got under it and the stupid bird continued to sleep.
God knows how those knights knew that the little boy was hiding under the butterfly-winged bird. When they caught up with him, they immediately launched an attack. What happened next was what they saw.
"It's delicious! It's so delicious~" The fabric of the little boy's clothes looks quite gorgeous, but it is already tattered and dirty. In addition, he is holding the butterfly-winged bird's meat and gnawing it wildly. It looks very similar.
Little beggar on the roadside.
However, the reason why he was chased by so many knights must not be simple.
Jia Zhengjin took a bite of the cooked butterfly-winged bird meat in his hand and sighed slightly: "Hey, my poor butterfly-winged bird! Your meat is so delicious, it makes me sad! This is not to lure me home to breed.
Will your companion provide me with new food? Hey~"
The little boy looked up when he heard this and looked at Jia Zhengjin in shock.
Facing the little boy's eyes, Jia Zhengjin shook his head and said: "Originally! You caused my horse to be killed, and I will definitely ask you to compensate. But looking at your dejected appearance and being chased by so many people, look at
You can't compensate me even if you come here for a while. Mainly, I have important things to do and don't have time to waste time. So after eating, leave as soon as possible. Walk as far as you can, and don't let me see you again! Do you understand?"
Hearing this, the little boy swallowed hard, took a breath and said, "Benefactor! Where are you going?"
"The Ying Zhan Ting Empire... No, you care where I go?" Jia Zhengjin replied smoothly, and then came to his senses.
"The Yingzhanting Empire? It's already a plague land that no one can enter. There are no living creatures within a hundred miles!" The little boy said hurriedly, "Benefactor, you can't go! No living creature can enter that plague land."
They are all bound to die!"
"Mind your own business!" Jia Zhengjin rolled his eyes at him, "You better mind yourself when you have time! Being chased by so many people at such a young age must have done something really bad! Tell me, you are teasing me.
Did that princess steal some treasure?"
The little boy stood up in a hurry and said to Jia Zhengjin with excitement: "Benefactor! Although you have saved my life, you cannot slander me like this! My father has taught me since I was a child that a person must live up to his own conscience! From birth to now
, I dare to swear to the gods that I have never done anything against my conscience! Even if I pick up a copper coin on the ground, I will personally find the owner and return it to him! I have never done anything bad!
"
"No, no, why are you so excited?" Jia Zhengjin took a bite of bird meat nonchalantly, "Sit down! Eat quickly and get out of here!"
The little boy sat back depressedly, lowered his head and continued to chew on his bird meat.
During this period, he kept stealing glances at Jia Zhengjin, and immediately lowered his head once his eyes met.
Jia Zhengjin was quite speechless: "If you have something to say, aren't you embarrassed by being like this?"
The little boy was relieved and immediately raised his head and looked at Jia Zhengjin: "Benefactor, my name is Harry Moser. I am thirteen years old and I come from the Donmat Empire! May I know your name?"
"Harry Moser? Why don't you call me Harry Potter?" Jia Zhengjin covered his mouth and yawned, "I'm so sleepy. It's all you who are disturbing my dreams!"
"Harry Potter?" the little boy blinked, "It just so happens that I have to avoid being hunted by my enemies and can no longer use my previous name. My benefactor, then I will be called Harry Potter from now on?"
"Ahem~" Jia Zhengjin suddenly choked on the air and casually said that the other party was going to change his name?
"Benefactor, are you okay?" The little boy hurriedly came over and patted his back, with a worried look on his face.
"Start, drive, drive!" Jia Zhengjin finally regained his breath and waved his hand to ask him to step back.
The little boy immediately returned to his previous position obediently.
"I don't care if you are Harry Mercer or Harry Potter. Anyway, get out of here when you are full! I still have to get some sleep and continue on my journey tomorrow!" Jia Zhengjin was not in a good mood because his mount was killed, "No
I have no choice but to ride a horse tomorrow. I hate this kind of bumpy ride!"
Faced with Jia Zhengjin's unfriendly tone, Harry looked at him and whispered: "Benefactor! In fact, in Maltis City not far ahead, there is a shop specializing in domesticated beasts. In that shop, there seems to be a similar product for the flying system.
The mount is just a bit expensive. But it doesn’t matter. As long as you sell the few war horses outside, you should have enough money to buy a flying mount.”
"Oh?" The news was pretty good, and Jia Zhengjin felt a little better.
"Benefactor, I don't know your name yet?" Harry said softly, "You saved my name today, otherwise I would have died! Please give me your name, and I will thank you greatly in the future!"
Jia Zhengjin took a look at Harry, who was in a state of despair, and shook his head in disbelief. The boy was already in this state, how could he say thank you so much? But looking at his expression, he would probably continue to pester him if he didn't tell him his name. After thinking for a moment, he said:
"My name is Martin Payton!"
"Mr. Payton? What a coincidence, my uncle is also named Payton!" Harry's eyes lit up, "Could it be that you are from the same family?"
"There are so many people with the same surname in the world!" Jia Zhengjin rolled his eyes, "Don't try to get close to me. I told you, get out of here when you're full. Don't disturb my sleep!"
"Uh~" Faced with Jia Zhengjin's unfriendly attitude, the little boy looked embarrassed. He blinked his eyes a few times and suddenly remembered something, so he reached into his tattered clothes and took out a string of exquisite green strings hanging around his neck.
After carefully taking off the gem necklace, he held it in front of Jia Zhengjin with both hands and said, "Um...Mr. Payton, you saved my life. I don't know how to thank you! This necklace is an heirloom of my family.
Please accept it!"
Family heirloom? Jia Zhengjin reached out to take it, took a look at it, and threw it back to him.
"Mr. Payton?" The little boy who took the necklace was confused and looked at him doubtfully.
"The attributes are so rubbish! What's the use of +1 agility? Just keep it for yourself!" Jia Zhengjin shook his head and felt sleepy again. He couldn't help but yawned again, "I'm so sleepy. Have you finished eating?"
If you haven't finished eating, eat quickly, and if you finish eating, get out of here! I'm going to bed, do you understand?"
The little boy awkwardly put the emerald necklace back around his neck, stared at Jia Zhengjin for a while, and suddenly clapped his hands: "Mr. Payton, you don't like this necklace, right? I have more good things!"
But the things are all in Maltis City, would you like to go with me? Why don't we go get them together tomorrow?"
