Chapter 511 Everyone knows you
Chapter 511 Everyone knows you
"Oh, I'm going crazy. This broken road is so difficult to walk on."
In the wilderness, Qi Yan kicked the stone in front of him hard, looking crazy.
Maenna walked beside him, her face darkening:
"You should blame yourself."
Even now, recalling that experience, the golden Pegasus still found it hard to believe.
He originally thought that Qi Yan was so eager to ask to drive because he was confident in his driving skills. He was indeed quite good on regular roads at the beginning and had no problems driving all the way.
Just as Mayenna was about to take a nap in peace, the vehicle suddenly vibrated.
He opened his eyes in horror and found that Qi Yan had somehow lost his way on the bumpy dirt road.
"I still can't understand it now." Marner said with a gloomy face, "I only closed my eyes for ten minutes. How did you get lost on a straight road, and..."
Maenna sighed for who knows how many times during this journey:
"And on that kind of road, why don't you control your speed and keep pressing the accelerator?"
"Isn't this just to get away from that bumpy road as soon as possible?" Qi Yan said with an innocent look on his face.
"...You know, when I saw the tires overtake the off-road vehicle and roll wildly in front of us, I almost suspected that I was still asleep."
Maena took a deep breath and said, "I doubted myself and the brakes, but I never doubted you. And the result is..."
Qi Yan smiled awkwardly, not daring to continue teasing the golden Pegasus whose anger was about to explode.
Maenna glanced around, trying to search her memory in her mind.
After a moment, he locked the direction again and breathed a sigh of relief:
"We have entered the area of Zvonek City. There is a village ahead. We can go there to buy some supplies."
"Wuhu, the hard times are finally over!" Qi Yan cheered.
"If it weren't for you, we wouldn't have to live a hard life and wouldn't have to delay for so long." Mainna added ruthlessly.
Qi Yan's cheers paused, he scratched his head, laughed dryly and said in defense:
“The meaning of the journey is not the point, but the journey…”
“I’m not here to travel.”
Mainna directly blocked Qi Yan's sophistry.
Qi Yan: "..."
He smacked his lips, his ears and tail drooped, and he followed Mainna obediently and quietly on the road.
It turns out that Mainna's ability to recognize roads is beyond doubt.
Soon a village appeared at the end of their sight, and at the same time, a team of armored knights appeared.
"They are the knights of war." Marner was a little confused. "Why are they outside the village in the wilderness?"
"Protect the village and drive away the bandits." Qi Yan said casually.
Mainna originally wanted to make a sarcastic remark, but suddenly thinking of his position and the presence of a friend, he accepted Qi Yan's answer.
The two did not hide their whereabouts and were soon discovered by the patrolling knights.
The knights changed direction and rushed towards the two.
As they got closer, the leader of the knights obviously recognized Mainna, and suddenly quickened his pace and hurried to Mainna.
"It's you."
A slightly surprised voice came from under the knight's helmet.
Maenna nodded: "Chesper, long time no see."
The knight took off his helmet, revealing a handsome face underneath. His black hair looked a little messy due to the action of taking off the helmet, but it still could not hide the determination and heroism between his brows.
Chesper looked Maina up and down, then smiled:
"I didn't expect to see you here. I heard about the Great Knight Territory, so... I think the person next to you must be Mr. Qi Yan."
"Hello, hello. I've heard a lot about you." Qi Yan rubbed his hands and took the initiative to shake hands with Chesper. "The black spear that can shatter starlight, the knight who charges against natural disasters, Mr. Chesper, the leader of the Knights of the Expedition, you are much more handsome in person than in the photo."
Chesber was obviously confused, and a little ashamed of those two nicknames that were full of middle school style.
"I didn't expect that a nobody like me would be known by Mr. Qi Yan." Chesper laughed dryly twice, then looked at Maenna, "I thought you would go north, and I'm really surprised to see you now.
But we may have to wait until we have a chance to talk about the past. I have been very busy lately."
"Because of the war?"
"Yes, but I was just implicated." Chesper smiled bitterly, "Because war might break out, this place is located on the border, the people are in a panic, and some lawless people have become unscrupulous.
As a knight in battle, I cannot turn a blind eye to such things."
Qi Yan interrupted with a smile:
"Do you need help?"
"...If possible, I actually hope that the two of you don't get involved." Chesber said seriously.
"I have no objection. The key point is my uncle's attitude."
Qi Yan's address to Ma Enna startled Chesper.
Ma Enna was no longer able to argue at this moment. She pursed her lips and said calmly:
"I try my best."
Although he got an ambiguous answer, Chesper seemed very happy:
"You seem to have become the ranger you once were. If something happens, I think you will definitely stand on the side of justice."
Maenna: “…”
Seeing his silence, Chesber touched his nose and turned to look at his fellow knights who had caught up with him.
"Let's stop chatting here for now." He put on his helmet again. "Looking at the direction you are heading, your destination should be Zvonek City. I hope to have a chance to meet you in the city and reminisce about the past then."
After saying this, the leader of the knights turned around neatly and led the team away.
Ma Enna turned her head to look at Qi Yan and frowned:
"It's gone. What are you still looking at? You seem to be very interested in Chesper?"
"Uncle, your words are ambiguous." Qi Yan spread his hands, "I am just judging this brother's attitude towards the current situation in Casimir."
These words made Maenna frown even more.
Qi Yan did not continue the topic, but took the lead and walked towards the village.
When they arrived at the entrance of the village, before the two of them entered the village, they saw an old man coming up to them.
The old man looked at Maenna with eyes that were clearly filled with reminiscence and joy of reunion:
"Sir, I didn't expect that I would be able to meet you again. Are you starting your journey as a knight-errant like you did back then?"
"No, I'm just looking for someone, two golden knights of war." Marner asked, "Have you seen them?"
The old man shook his head: "Most of the knights who have appeared in recent years have silver spears and silver armor. Are there any other characteristics?"
"No need for that. Anyone who has seen them will surely be impressed. There is no need to describe them in detail." Mainna was not disappointed, but simply ended the topic lightly.
The old man seemed a little regretful that he could not be of any help.
He straightened his clothes and said enthusiastically:
"I am glad to see you again, after all. I have nothing to offer you, but if you would accept a cup of hot tea, I would be honored.
Over the years, I have always remembered your kindness. "
Maenna: “…”
Looking at Maenna's expression, the old man suddenly understood and explained:
"It seems that you don't remember me. I am actually from Leithania. In the group of refugees that you saved and led, the others called each other in the regional dialect of Casimir, but I was the only one who couldn't do it. You saw my embarrassment but didn't point it out. Instead, you acquiesced to my existence.
Ha, you have no recollection of anything I said, but you weren't surprised when I recognized you just now... Maybe it's because you've saved many people like this before."
Maenna studied the old man carefully.
The old man wore a farmer's hat, but the hair that was exposed was already gray as frost. Although he called himself a Leitanian, there were no Caprini or Elafia horns on his head.
Noticing Maena's gaze, the old man touched his hat and explained:
"For disguise, I cut off my horns long ago and got used to living like Kuranta. Back then, under the rule of that king, I was forced to flee to this foreign land. I thought that the king's magic would always chase me...
But now, a weak teacher like me has lived peacefully in this small village for more than 20 years. "
Qi Yan listened to the old man's chattering, touched his chin, and secretly called on the Witch King to come out and say hello to this old comrade.
The Witch King simply snorted in response.
This made Qi Yan feel a little regretful.
Mauna and the old man had no idea that they had just narrowly escaped a huge shock.
After listening to the old man's story, Mainna noticed a notice in the old man's hand that he was about to post.
"Do you need help?" asked Manna.
"No need, this is just a simple safety notice." The old man explained, "A knight came to warn us to be careful of the thieves who have been roaming around recently, but even if our remote village is really robbed, who would pay attention?
The knights are so serious that it makes me feel uneasy.
In recent years, the behavior of the knights has become increasingly strange. I am increasingly confused as to why they are actually beginning to care about the lives of ordinary people. "
"It's nothing strange. This is what he should do." Mainna obviously trusted Chesper's character very much.
The old man nodded without commenting further on the topic.
At this time, a lively girl in the village came running over. When she got closer, she found Ma Enna and Qi Yan, and hurriedly stopped running.
"Teacher Sommer, I have already posted the notices on the other side of the village." The girl finished her report and couldn't help but look at Ma Enna and the others curiously, "Who are these two?"
When the old man saw this irritable-looking girl, he couldn't help but smile kindly:
"This is a very remarkable knight, and...his companion."
Aiwa's eyes lit up when he heard this:
"Welcome, welcome. Are you two knights here to see the land?
Some time ago, the big shots in the city liked to buy land outside the city for vacation. Although they later heard that war was about to break out, the big shots no longer went out so frequently, but from time to time we still heard that some people bypassed the blockade and came out of the city.
We have never encountered any natural disasters here, and there are no infected people in the nearby villages. It is very clean.
And there’s more…”
"Cough cough!"
The old man Sommer suddenly coughed twice to interrupt Ava's blunt words: "Little Ava, I have a letter here. You can run fast, go and help me deliver it."
Ava puffed up his cheeks, but still took the letter, turned around and ran away.
After Ava left, Sommer explained awkwardly:
"I'm so sorry. Young people in the village always yearn for the city. They hope someone can buy their land so that they can have the capital to live in the city."
"...Ridiculous." Although Mainna was not unhappy, she did not look happy either.
"Yeah, ridiculous expectations."
Sommer said sadly: "I am old and don't have those expectations, but young people always need something to look forward to.
Not everyone has those lofty things in mind, and I am no longer the scholar who used to speak eloquently at the banquets of the Leitanian nobles. The life in front of me, the daily necessities of life, is all that many people see in their lifetime. "
Maenna looked at Sommer's lost expression and shook her head:
"I'm not accusing anything, sorry.
If possible, I hope to buy some supplies and rest in the village. ”
"Of course no problem. By the way, sir, do you need a car? I can provide you with one." Sommer said enthusiastically.
Ma Enna glanced at Qi Yan who was getting excited again and said coldly:
"do not want!"
……
……
"Yeah, a lot has happened in Casimir lately."
Qi Yan sat on a wooden chair in Sommer's yard, holding the newspaper Sommer gave him, and commented: "For example, Tolan has been active nearby recently, in a place called Lei Shi Village, and he has resumed his old job as a bounty hunter, helping people complete commissioned tasks.
Oh, there is also a little girl named Desiree, who is a lawyer, and she is also going to Leishi Village to deal with a business dispute between Gail Industries and Leishi Village regarding the sale of land.
Oh and…”
"Are you sure there are these things in the newspaper?" Mainna said unhappily.
"Just tell me if they are news or not." Qi Yan smiled and flicked the newspaper. "Chesber also arrested Tolan's fellow bounty hunter."
Hearing Qi Yan mention Chesper again, Mayenna could no longer suppress her doubts:
"Qi Yan, tell me, what happened to Chesper that made you so concerned."
"Who knows? Anyway, there is nothing new in this land. It may be some clichéd past events."
Qi Yan stood up and waved to a girl who was looking out the gate:
"Here, here, Mauna is here!"
Maenna: “…”
"ah!"
The girl at the gate was startled.
But finally she came in.
Mainna frowned at the girl with gray-green hair. She wore a pair of elegant square-frame glasses and had fluffy short hair. Her lawyer's uniform was out of place with the surrounding village buildings, especially the high heels under her long black legs. It made people worry about how they would walk in the bad road conditions in the wilderness.
"Mr. Mainna, it's really you." As soon as the girl came in and saw Mainna, she couldn't help but make a happy sound.
Maenna took a deep breath and asked:
"Are you Lawyer Desiree?"
"You still remember me!" Desiree became even more excited.
Ma Enna glanced at Qi Yan and said coldly:
"do not remember."
Desiree: ?
