Lei Yan turned his head and looked at the man. In the past three months, although the two sides had not had much contact, they had gotten better relatively speaking.
This man's name is Luo Shan. He is now in his forties or fifties, but he is very strong. He looks like he is in his thirties or forties, so he is not very old. When he was in his teens or twenties, he was
The Dragon Palace Warriors passed by his small village and recruited a group of talented people, and Luoshan was one of them.
Then, through hard work, his strength reached the point where he could enter the Dragon Palace and become a member of the Dragon Palace Warriors.
After the team was assigned, his superior, the former squad leader, invited him to join an organization. He didn't know the name of that organization.
But if you join it, you can get better five-element spells than those with the same level of strength, so he joined it.
Soon, he got an order to go to a place with his squad leader. It was said that bandits were raging in that place. At that time, he was very excited, thinking that he could serve the Dragon Palace. Who would have thought that,
When he got there, his team leader met the gangster and had a pleasant conversation. The two parties turned out to have known each other for a long time.
On the way back, the team leader had a showdown with him. The organization he belonged to was founded by the leader of a bandit. The five elements technique was also given to them by the bandit.
After hearing the news, Luo Shan was a little helpless, but once he got into this dye vat, it would be difficult to escape.
After more than 20 years, Luo Shan did not dare to go home.
Unexpectedly, the first time he returned home, it would be like this. Luo Shan's eyes were moist, and he lay on the ground, sobbing silently. He didn't dare to go home, so how could outsiders know the pain in Luo Shan's heart.
Lei Yan didn't rush him, he just watched there. After a while, Luo Shan changed over, arranged his new clothes, and said: "Sir, when you get to Xiao Xiao's home, please... please don't talk about Xiao Xiao.
After I leave, I will have no say in whether I live or die. I just want to be able to go back home with dignity."
Looking at Luo Shan's gaze, Lei Yan nodded slightly and said: "From now on, you are the captain of our caravan. Give him a horse and a knife." Lei Yan looked at the two Gentians who were following them.
said the group members.
"yes!"
A man came out, took a captured sword from an eight-foot horse and gave it to Luo Shan, and gave the horse's reins to Luo Shan.
"Thank you, sir." Luo Shan bowed to Lei Yan, took a deep breath, and got on his horse. There were some items on the horse's back. It really looked like the captain of a caravan.
In this place where humans live in the Remnant Cloud Realm, there is such a profession called caravans. Caravans do business, but to be more precise, they are hunting teams. Along the way, they encountered
Kill those powerful alien beasts, and then exchange the loot obtained for some items.
These caravans wander around various villages and are very welcome by those villages. Firstly, they can exchange for the things they need, and secondly, they can spend some rewards to ask them to take action. If there are any strange beasts nearby.
, there are dangerous beasts, and the Dragon Palace has not sent anyone now, so we can ask the caravan to take action.
Most of the people in the caravan are not weak, and many of them are people who came from the Dragon Palace. The Dragon Palace can let those warriors who have served for a hundred years go back. Of course, if they can live for a hundred years,
His strength is certainly not weak, and he who has survived a life-and-death fight will have no problem becoming a squad leader.
Only some people who are tired of living in the Dragon Palace, or have some special reasons, such as being seriously injured and unable to fight anymore, will leave the Dragon Palace and go outside.
After entering the Dragon Palace, despite the scenery and honor, it also brings with it constraints. They can only go home every once in a while, and the rest of the time, they are either practicing or patrolling.
Once a tide of beasts breaks out there, they will be the first to rush forward.
Lei Yan left Zhu Nanyue, Shi You, and ten team members to stay here, and the Black Tiger King also stayed. It was useless for them to go. Every time they went to a village, they would go in and take a look. Of course, some of the larger ones
They didn't go into towns or anything like that, for fear of being seen.
The vast land under the rule of the Dragon Palace is divided into five realms and seven realms. Each region has seven realms, and each realm has a population of one million. And in the middle, there is a dragon realm, where,
It is the central realm of the Dragon Palace. There are thirty-six realms in total. The central dragon realm is the largest, and the rest are large and small, and vary in size.
This is a golden valley realm in the Jinxing region, with unusually rich crops.
Seeing them approaching with their cavalry, the children playing near the village cheered and shouted that the caravan was coming. The caravan was coming and they ran towards the village.
The village chief came out quickly. He was a man in his fifties. His left hand was missing and there was a scar on his face. Seeing them, the man walked over enthusiastically and said: "Welcome warriors, come to
Our Bluestone Village!”
"village head!"
When Luo Shan saw the village chief, his heart felt hot. He was the one who sent their group of people to the Dragon Palace in the first place.
"Come on, come on, after a long journey, all the warriors are tired. Let's take a rest and drink tea first!" The village chief warmly entertained them, and there were many people watching the excitement standing on both sides of the road.
Luo Shan paused for a moment, but they didn't recognize him. Twenty or thirty years had passed, and his face had changed too much, and he had never come back. How could these people know him? In this case, they didn't know each other.
It would be better if we just don’t know each other! Luo Shan thought in his heart, cupped his fists and said: "Okay!"
…
After warm hospitality, they were assigned to a room to rest.
In a stone house, Lei Yan was sitting on a stone chair, with two team members behind him. In front of him was Luo Shan, who lowered his head at the moment, but he was still as bold as before.
"Have you heard?" After a while, Lei Yan rubbed his forehead. Luo Shan did not reveal his identity and kept communicating with the being as the captain of the caravan. After several attempts, he also talked about some things that happened in recent years.
A few years ago, a beast tide broke out nearby. Although it was not big, hundreds of strange beasts joined together, and Qingshi Village was affected.
During that beast wave, Qingshi Village lost about a hundred people. According to Luo Shan's description, Lei Yan used his mind to investigate and found that there was no Luo Shan's family.
"No more. The area affected by that beast wave happened to be the home where the little one once lived."
Luo Shan smiled bitterly, not knowing what he was thinking, his eyes turned red.
"Hmph, you are quite majestic. You are sitting there gesticulating and asking our team leader to stand behind you as your bodyguard. Where is the majesty before? Now..." The person behind Lei Yan glared and said unceremoniously.
shouted.
Lei Yan stretched out his hand to stop the man and said, "In that case, what about what you promised?"
"That thing shouldn't be hidden in a small home!" Luo Shan shook his head, and as soon as he said this, he made the two people behind Lei Yan angry.
In contrast, Lei Yan was much calmer and said: "Where is that?"
"It's on the villain, sir, please take a look." Luo Shan gritted his teeth and took off his shirt, revealing his strong back. There were many strange talismans and some words on it.
There were several patterns of talismans on the talisman, as well as some text descriptions, which were awkward and difficult to understand. Lei Yan looked at them for a while, and after roughly memorizing them, he asked someone to copy them.
After finishing sorting, Lei Yan tapped the stone table with his fingertips and said: "I have got what I want, and you have come back to see your former home. Now, what are you going to do?"
Luo Shan made a puff sound, knelt down, kowtowed, and said: "If you don't mind me, Luo Shan, I am willing to follow you through life and death." Luo Shan said without moving his head from the ground, and continued,
"If the adults look down on the little one, please let the little one stay here... so that the little one can see his own home."
"It's beautiful as you imagine." Lei Yan touched his nose, smiled, was silent for a while, and then nodded and said yes.
Luo Shan's eyes lit up, he knocked his head heavily on the ground and said, "Thank you, sir."
After sending Luoshan back, another team member was very puzzled and asked: "Team leader, why do you want to keep him? We don't have him alone. Besides, his strength is not good, so if he stays, he will be the only one left."
It’s a burden, and you have to be on guard against him at all times, what if he rebels?”
"Every move he makes is under our surveillance. If he has any objections, he will be killed directly. He once served as a squad leader in the Dragon Palace. He knows some things better than us, and we still have a long way to go.
With him here, the road ahead may be easier for us to walk."
From the map, the Longdian Five Elements Domain, which is dotted with tens of thousands of villages and towns, is not very big, but when walking here, it feels like a long way. It has been almost four months, and they have only walked a little more than half of it.
distance.
And these roads are still easy to walk, and the next journey is the difficult one. The other members of the Gentian team can't feel it yet, but he and the Black Tiger King can feel it.
An invisible pressure was pressing on them. The further they went, the greater the pressure they endured.
He was able to slow down his progress quite a bit, stopping and starting to let everyone get familiar with the situation here. Later, he raised everyone's strength to six-level warriors in this short period of time. For them,
The road ahead will be much easier. Especially for them to get used to each other's presence. Gu Hong passed him a formation that originally required more than three hundred people, but now it can barely be used with thirty people.
Even if the things passed down by beings like Gu Hong are barely suitable for them, they can greatly improve their combat effectiveness.
After staying in Qingshi Village for three days, changing some things and lightening their burden, the group set out on the road again.
