Chapter 175 Leggenfend
The red-haired boy, Dickas Leggenfend, looked at the boy in front of him with a somewhat embarrassed expression. The boy, who looked about the same age as him, had a friendly smile on his face, and said in a very tactful tone:
"My friend, this gem is a family heirloom. I cannot sell it, even if I am poor now."
"That's a pity. But I don't think you look like a refugee. Instead, you look like an ordinary nobleman."
Dicas was wearing slightly old aristocratic clothes, but the cart he was pushing behind him was no different from the ones pushed by people from other villages who came for the annual purchases, both were made of wood.
Just when No. 1 Ye Li had a strange look in his eyes and Dicas himself was considered a down-and-out nobleman and the matter fell into some inexplicable stalemate, a huge sound suddenly came from the wind field, and it was obvious that a small hole had opened.
At this moment, the people inside and outside the city-state storm looked at each other across a gap, and then the people inside walked out, and the people outside walked in, and the most obvious thing was to drive in and out.
No. 1 Ye Li stepped into the grass inside the storm, looking at the four or five small cities and one large city in the plain in front of him, especially the tall giant tower in the large city. No. 1 Ye Li couldn't help but sigh:
"It's really big. It must be several hundred meters high."
"Is this where our ancestors once lived? It's so good, why would we leave?"
The sounds of surprise and confusion coming from his ears attracted the attention of No. 1 Ye Li. He turned to look at Dicas, who was unaware of his existence and still muttering to himself.
"My friend, I heard you clearly even though you spoke so loudly. But judging from your tone, you are here to seek refuge with your relatives."
Dicas reacted quickly, not knowing whether it was because he let the cat out of the bag or because he was angry at someone's blunt words, but his noble upbringing still made him calm down and said:
"My friend, I'm sorry, but could you please forget what you just heard?"
"I'm sorry, but your words have been engraved in my mind and I can't forget them."
"I'll give you ten silver coins, can you forget it?"
"Oh, my friend, you are so polite. What did you just say? I don't remember."
No. 1 Ye Li took the ten silver coins as hush money with a smile, and then asked with a slightly curious expression:
"By the way, do you know the way? I come from a faraway mountainous area, and I'm unfamiliar with the place. I'm sure you have a map left by your ancestors."
Dicas was so nervous. Although he had paid the hush money, the young man in front of him with the huge package on his back was really too difficult to deal with. Moreover, since he could carry such a big package, he must be very strong.
After careful consideration, Dicas finally agreed to let No. 1 Ye Li act together. After all, the map he was carrying was very old. Even if the city had not changed much during the storm, there was always a chance of something happening. Having a guy to ask for directions with him could be considered a way to improve efficiency.
As for whether the opponent is good or bad, Dicas is not worried. He still knows some knight swordsmanship passed down by his ancestors, and the rusty iron sword on his back is also proof of it. As long as he moves forward, the opponent will see the sword behind him and understand that he is not someone to be trifled with. It can be regarded as a deterrent.
After walking for a day and a night, the two finally arrived at the first city, and the bustling and noisy street scene came into view.
"Boss, two bottles of rice wine."
"No problem, my guest, please wait a moment."
No. 1 Ye Li pulled Dicas into a tent-like tavern with one hand, threw out ten copper coins and ordered two glasses of wine.
The first thing you must do when you come to Mond is, of course, to drink. After all, the dandelion wine that will be very popular in the continent of Teyvat in the future is not vegetarian.
"Hey, don't look at me like that. If you didn't have the map to lead the way, I'm afraid it would take me two or three days to get here. This dinner is on me."
Dicas felt helpless looking at the carefree, sometimes shrewd, and sometimes playful guy in front of him, but with this guy around, his journey was not so boring.
Reaching out to take the rice wine brought by the waiter, Dicas drank it in one gulp. A hint of rice aroma emerged from the wine, clearing away some of the fatigue from the journey.
"Hmm, this wine has no taste."
No. 1 Ye Li finished the wine in one gulp, frowned, and immediately began to wonder if the wine was mixed with water.
Dicas was speechless. He could taste the aroma of rice and wine. Could it be that this guy had drunk more expensive wine? Otherwise, ordinary customers would not say so.
No. 1 Ye Li put down the wooden wine glass helplessly and took a look at the sign hanging next to it. There were other types of wine on it, so he ordered one each to try.
At this moment, all the staff were looking at this side with strange expressions, because the combination of guests at this table was really strange.
The red-haired boy had a blank expression on his face as he silently drank another bottle of rice wine he ordered, while the other boy with brown hair and gray-blue eyes tasted every bottle of wine, pointing and commenting from time to time. If he hadn't given enough money, others would have suspected that he was there to cause trouble.
After a hearty meal, Dicas pulled No. 1 Ye Li, who was going to other taverns to try whose wine was mixed with water, with one hand. In his heart, he really wanted to abandon this guy, but judging from this guy's personality, his hush money might be of no use.
Seeing that Dicas was determined to pull him out of the tavern, No. 1 Ye Li could only feel regretful. Most of the wine he drank before was mixed with water, so such a good opportunity to make money was gone.
……
Liyue, the northern border area of Tianheng Mountain.
More than 500 ships were docked neatly on the shore. The original stealth devices had long been cancelled and appeared in front of countless Qianyan troops.
At this moment, Zhenjun Xueyue Zhuyang and a group of immortals were standing on the decks of the ships they led, while Ye Li, who was floating in the sky, began a morale-boosting speech with a serious expression.
"Comrades, immortals, we have been fighting this war for nearly 20 years. Today, the Lord Emperor ordered me to lead the fleet to another expedition. Our goal this time is not to disperse the front lines, but to guide the Yellow Dragon and eliminate one of the forces. The closest to us is the Chilong in the north. They have brought big and small troubles to our expeditionary army. This expedition is to crush its territory and bring peace and stability to the north of our sea. Do you have confidence in victory?"
"A thousand words are firm, the mountains are immovable, a thousand layers of armor are the best to pacify demons and evil spirits!"
"A thousand words are firm, the mountains are immovable, a thousand layers of armor, the demons are pacified and the evil is eliminated!!!"
"For the people of Liyue, for the Rock King, we have confidence!!!"
Looking at the thunderous roar of the Qianyan Army below, Ye Li and the immortals below smiled knowingly, then he looked serious, a spear appeared in his hand, pointed the spear at the north of the sea and said:
"Let's go!"
