The long motorcade passed through the forest of the Wusen Empire, walking like an ant towards the border of the forest. The driver drove a carriage and slowly followed the team with luggage. The team composed of different races seemed a bit disorganized.
Protecting this team are not only soldiers of various races, but also huge forest wolves, tall trolls, and elves riding spiritual deer.
They were instructed by the Elf Queen to follow Reina on the expedition, but there were only about fifty in number. They were very arrogant and did not interact with other races. They walked at the front of the team with an arrogant attitude. Reina, who was riding an earth dragon, looked a little different from them.
Out of place, the team set out from the lush Ufa Forest, passed by the edge of the World Tree, shuttled between swamps and grasslands, and finally arrived at Stone Mountain, where there was another exit, a shortcut to the east.
Suddenly a huge group of water droplets appeared in front of them, magically transforming into a huge door. There was a huge difference between the outside and the inside. One side was covered with snow, and the other side was green, just like two worlds. The team paused for a moment, perhaps because of the
After confirming whether the door was stable, or maybe they were frightened by the crazy howling snow, most of them suddenly realized that they had been isolated in the outer room for so long.
…
The support team left, and the trading city returned to its former peace. People were constantly discussing one thing, and that was the restart of the caravan.
"I heard that we can do business with outsiders again. This time the caravan is just to confirm the safety of the route. When they come back, we can go outside to do business, and people from outside will also come to us with various products.
"
"I really miss my previous life. Although it was a bit chaotic, it was much more interesting than working like this day after day."
The merchants and acquaintances on the roadside were chatting. This is a deserted small street. Since this is a city renovated by the pig people, the buildings here are generally old and the roads are relatively narrow. The people living here are also from the trading city.
Poorer people, old people wearing old clothes, listless middle-aged people setting up stalls that no one cares about, flies buzzing in front of the butcher shop, and the butcher sleeping on the table.
No matter whether the city is prosperous or not, it will always be like a pool of stagnant water without any waves.
"That's also our credit."
At this moment, someone in the crowd yelled, which attracted the attention of the people around him. The vendor who was still dozing looked around with frightened eyes, only to see a man with red scars on his face, suspected to be his face.
The burned child appeared in front of them holding a basket of vegetables.
Others glanced at him, then immediately avoided looking and continued to do their own things.
The young man lowered his head and gritted his teeth as he walked through the side street and came to the alleyway where there were fewer people. He turned around warily and looked behind him. He repeated this action every few steps until he arrived at a crowded grocery store.
Before that, he stopped.
A skinny, hunched-backed old man was sitting in the shop. He sat motionless on a wooden bench, leaning his head against the counter, with his eyes closed, as if he had fallen asleep. The young man frowned and walked straight past him.
, suddenly there was a snap, and something grabbed his basket.
"Why are you here again? Come on! This is not a place where children should come."
The old man said angrily. Obviously, the young man was afraid of the old man's eyes. He took half a step back with a horrified expression.
"I want to join you, and I also want revenge..."
Before he finished speaking, the old man covered his mouth. The latter glared at him and shouted: "You don't want to live anymore? The crow is hiding in the dark. If you dare to shout loudly, it will peck out your eyes and eat them."
I'll break your heart. Come on, we don't need a brat like you here."
After saying that, the old man pushed the young man hard. The latter staggered a few steps, hooked his left foot on his right heel, lost his center of gravity, and fell to the ground.
"Why can't I? Why won't you let me in?"
The young man asked with tears in his eyes.
"You are too small and thin to do anything."
"I am twelve years old this year, and I know there are people younger than me who have joined the Light Group."
In an instant, the old man's eyes widened, he covered his mouth, and whispered in his ear: "You have also seen their fate, do you want to be like them?"
The young man broke free, stared at the opponent with eyes that he should not have at his age, and shouted: "I am not afraid of death, I want revenge!"
"What a man who is not afraid of death! He has courage!"
At this moment, a woman's voice came from behind them. The old man looked up and was suddenly startled. The person who came was a woman wearing linen clothes. Even if she was wearing loose clothes, it was difficult to cover up her wide breasts.
Arms and body.
She is stronger than a man, has scars on her face, and her rough skin makes her look like a man.
"What's your name kid."
"I'm not a kid, my name is Gunk."
"He's just a ignorant kid. He doesn't know anything. Don't worry about him."
The old man said quickly.
"I know about you, I know what you are doing, and I want to join you."
Hearing this, the old man's face darkened.
"Gonker, what's wrong with your face?"
The woman knelt down and touched the boy's face. Her hands were as rough as tree bark and the calluses were very thick.
The young man's eyes were evasive and his emotions were unstable. He bit his lower lip and said harshly: "It was burned by the demons. They burned our home and my relatives..."
"Poor child, you should have a handsome face, a happy family, and live in your hometown, not in a ghost place like this. Do you have any brothers or sisters?"
"Yes, but he is also dead."
The boy clenched his fists, his eyes filled with anger and hatred.
"I sympathize with your experience. We have the same experience. Not only me, but there are more people like you. Now they are all my partners and my family."
Hearing this, Gunk seemed to realize something. He raised his head and looked at the other party with excited and expectant eyes.
The woman smiled crookedly and said, "Follow me."
After saying that, she pulled him up. The latter seemed to be lifted up and stood on the ground with his feet before he could react.
"Kelly, this impulsive brat is of no use. He will definitely ruin things."
The old man stopped him quickly. Gunk hated this old man. Why did he have to fight against him?
"No, he is a man, a man with backbone."
Gunk puffed up his chest proudly. After he was captured by the slave traders, he had never been as confident as he was today.
After saying that, the woman named Kaili took him into the grocery store, opened a wooden door, walked through a mossy courtyard, and came to a hidden warehouse.
When he opened the door and took a look, the boy was shocked by what he saw inside.
