The Trade Route to Yasur
The blue sky, the fiery red sun, and the vibrant earth. Although it was a hot summer day, the mountain forest was not very hot. Occasionally, there would be a cool breeze blowing. Riding my horse, I quietly stood under the shade of the tree. I closed my eyes slightly and allowed the breeze to blow at my clothes. I felt the aura of nature. Almost every cell in my body was jumping and cheering along with nature. Ever since I broke through to the middle stage of Spirit Solitude, my spiritual senses have become more sensitive. It's different from before when I could only sense all kinds of bright and lively life auras. Now, I have a new type of senses, including the senses of living and non-living substances. I felt as if I had merged with everything around me. I could feel the countless energies lingering around me. I felt, felt…gradually, I distinguished them. Wasn't this the energy of the magic elements that I gathered when I practiced magic? This cold and gentle energy is the water element, this elegant and gentle energy is the wind element, this lively and lively energy is the fire element, this thick and steady energy is the earth element…There are many other things that I can't differentiate. I think it's because I haven't been in contact with magic elements for a long time. I secretly thought that I must find a way to properly learn in the city of magic.
A horse neigh sounded as the purple sun on my shoulder gently patted its wings. My thoughts returned to reality. I opened my eyes and saw Becks, Rubel, Hart, and Kanter reining their horses in front of me. There were more or less blood stains on their bodies. Becks 'face was red and there were a few drops of sweat on his forehead. He held a bloodstained cloth bag in his hand and had a hint of excitement between his eyebrows.
"The bandits are done!" I asked. Becks nodded slightly and handed me the sack.
"Boss Yu, I'm so happy. Today's killing was so fucking satisfying! It would be great if he met another group of people tomorrow! Haha!" I'm looking at today's harvest, a bag full of gold coins. The gemstone, Zi Yang, chirped happily. I thought to myself, the bandits here are all very rich! They had robbed countless pedestrians and merchants.
Sweating profusely, Rubel spoke excitedly as he stroked the sword at his waist. He couldn't help but curse. This kid was the thickest among the four of them, and he was a single-celled animal. The few fights with bandits on the road seemed to have stimulated his killing instinct. He wanted to meet a few bandits every day to consume his excess energy.
"Brother Rubel, you haven't killed enough! You're going to kill all the bandits like this!”"Exactly!" Hart and Kanter were also very happy. They remembered the first time they were asked to kill someone. When they stabbed their sword into their opponent's body for the first time and saw their opponent spit out blood and die, they were so scared that their faces turned pale. As a result, they were covered in blood and almost got cut by other bandits.
"You still dare to talk about me? You two brothers joined forces and killed more people than I did. You stole my business!”Rubel's face was filled with injustice, as if someone had borrowed his money and refused to return it. It seemed that under the actual training of a "senior assassin" like me, the four boys were no longer innocent teenagers but had the appearance of "assassins". I carried the heavy cloth bag in my hand and was very satisfied with my teaching results. However, I had to suffer from those blind bandits who were used as teaching materials. Think about it, not only do we get rid of evil for the people, but we can also earn extra money and increase the actual combat experience of the four kids. Why not? Speaking of which, the public security situation here is so chaotic! However, this also means that we have more opportunities to earn extra money. En, this is not bad!
"Good job. Alright, let's go!" I urged my horse forward, and Becks and the other three quickly followed after me with joy on their faces.
Three days later, we arrived at the border of Yasre.
"Oh my god! How boring! "Rubel was grumbling because no one had asked him to chop for days. He was in a depressed mood and kept muttering along the way.
"Becks, Hart, Kanter."
"Yes, what's the matter, Big Brother Yu?" The three of them asked in unison.
"Help Rubel relieve his boredom!" I said lazily.
" Yes." The three of them became spirited and approached Rubel with ill intentions. The latter knew that something was wrong. The four of them were equally skilled in martial arts, and they would definitely lose if they fought three against one. He secretly regretted that he had spoken so much, but his subordinates hurriedly urged their horses to escape. Becks and the other two also caught up, leaving me behind. I think they'll be back soon and keep going.
Sure enough, not long after, the sound of horse hooves could be heard. He looked up and saw Hart alone.
"Big brother Yu, there are many people fighting in front!”Before I asked, he had already explained it to me.
"Let's go and take a look!" I immediately decided that I was bored too! The two of them rode forward quickly.
Soon, Hart and I rode our horses forward. We were still dozens of meters away when we arrived at the scene of the battle. I looked around. Heh! It was so lively! Other than the corpses on the ground that proved the intensity of the battle, there was a well-made and gorgeous carriage parked on the main road. Around the carriage, about 40 warriors in shining armor were holding round shields and forming a circular formation to defend against the enemies outside the formation that were two to three times their number. I thought those people outside the formation were just ordinary bandits, but seeing their strict and close cooperation…Their movements were uniform. Fine armor and weapons. I denied my guess. This is clearly an army! Although the majority of the warriors were in a defensive position, and they were covered in blood and were heavily injured, they still resisted the fierce attacks of the people on the periphery. Clearly, there was an important person in the carriage they were guarding. However, based on the current situation, they were fighting with a strong will. Although they were in a defensive position and occasionally killed the other party's members, their numbers were too small and they could not hold on for long. The other party obviously knew this as well, stepping on the corpses of their companions and attacking even more crazily. Neither side noticed that there were five uninvited guests outside the arena.
Without my orders, Becks, Rubel, and Kanter didn't act rashly before I arrived. They waited for my arrival. At this moment, the four assassins that I had just trained were standing on either side of me with their swords in their hands, eagerly waiting for my orders. From time to time, they would look at me from the side. Rubel looked at the slaughter in front of him with an anxious expression, as if he was afraid that these people would run away. I watched quietly and suddenly asked," What should I do before a battle? What did I teach you?" However, she did not turn around to look at them.
When the four of them heard this, their bodies froze and their expressions became solemn. Their eyes became cold as if they were just an insignificant scenery in front of them, but a murderous aura was leisurely born.
I nodded slightly and continued to observe the situation. The battle could not be stopped. Only the roars of people, the clashing of weapons, the neighing of horses, and the spraying of blood could be heard.
At this moment, the carriage door opened, and two beautiful girls appeared in front of everyone's eyes. The two girls were not even 20 years old. The one on the left was wearing a long red dress. A few pieces of jewelry decorated her delicate figure, and her entire body emitted a noble, elegant, and dignified temperament. The other was dressed as a priest. Her pure white robe complemented her unique wine-red hair, giving off a holy feeling. Her eyes were as pure as the blue sky under the brightest sun, filled with endless sadness. But at this moment, the two beauties were frightened to the point that their faces turned pale when they saw this tragic battle. However, after a moment, their faces turned into determined expressions. The girl in the priest robe saw the corpses on the ground and the two sides fighting, and her eyes were filled with sorrow and pity.
When the two women appeared, the battle temporarily stopped. Both sides took a step back, leaving a buffer zone in the middle. The shield-wielding warriors quickly adjusted their formation and protected the two women tightly. Their enemies were eyeing them covetously. It seemed that they would not stop until they achieved their goal. At this moment, the horses sensed the atmosphere on the battlefield and stopped neighing. The battlefield fell silent for a moment.
"Who are you? What do you want?" The red-robed girl frowned slightly as she looked at the group of people surrounding them and asked. However, no one answered.
At this moment, one of the people in the group made a gesture to his companions. They began to move forward, and the other party was also waiting. The battle was about to begin again.
"Stop fighting, stop killing!”A clear and sorrowful voice came from the woman in the priest robe." Do you have to fight and kill? The Goddess of Life bestows life upon you…"
Huh? Hearing these words, I was sure that this girl in front of me was a priest. Only those fanatical religious people would talk about God all day long. I hated them the most. Listening to their sermons was worse than being stabbed. The girl in front of me, who I had a good impression of at first glance, had a beautiful voice. Her speech was so touching that I immediately labeled her as a " dangerous item." There was nothing valuable to say, so I simply withdrew the true qi that had gathered in my ears. I really couldn't listen any longer. I was already dizzy after listening to two sentences.
I looked from afar and listened attentively as the respectable priestess finally finished her terrifying speech that I had been avoiding. Needless to say, it was really effective. The two groups of people who were about to fight each other quietly did not move. At this time, this young lady saw that her preaching had an effect. She frowned slightly and muttered something. I heard that it seemed to be a magic spell. What did she want to do? I think.
I saw a gentle white light spread out like a wave with her as the center. I was surprised to find that the wounds of those who bathed in this light quickly healed. Light Healing Spell! This thought flashed through my mind.
After casting the spell, she saw that all the injured and the people who surrounded them were much better. The divine priest smiled, but her body could not help but sway, showing signs of falling. The red-dressed girl quickly supported her and asked her something with concern. It seemed that casting this spell was not that easy.
"Kill them!" A loud shout rang out from the crowd outside. Miss Divine Official's efforts had been in vain. If I didn't have to maintain my serious image in front of Becks and the other three, I would have burst out laughing! There was actually such a stupid woman. Helping the person who wanted to kill him to heal him was undoubtedly courting death. A priest was a priest. She had the spirit of a martyr! Looking at her lost expression, I really wanted to rush over and point at her and scold her for being a hopeless idiot!
An even more intense battle of offense and defense began again. The people who had recovered their stamina were all full of energy and fighting even more happily. In an instant, more than ten people fell. I want to laugh even more when I see this. What an idiot!
Yue Ni helped Lin, who was exhausted in her arms, to sit down. She was at a loss. Are we going to die? She asked herself in her mind. Although she was the princess of a country, she felt so powerless at this moment, and her heart was so fragile. Looking at the guards fighting with all their might, the only thing she could do was pray to God in her heart. Lin, who was in his arms, struggled to straighten her body. She folded her arms, closed her eyes, and devoutly chanted the divine words. Yue Ni did not stop him. She only looked around blankly. With a casual glance, she saw five people in black robes looking at her quietly not far away. Four of them were younger than her, and the last one could not be seen clearly, but she seemed to feel that he was smiling. A glimmer of hope lit up in her heart, but it was immediately extinguished. What could the five of them do?
"Alright, let me see the results of your practice!”I tried my best to suppress my urge to laugh.
Before he could finish his words, the four kids jumped off their horses and rushed out like hungry tigers. The swords in their hands were buzzing with joy due to their internal strength.
"You go too! Don't reveal your true colors!" Zi Yang was also unwilling to be left out and asked me for permission to fight. I agreed. "Roar!" It let out a cry of joy that was not the same size as its body. The purple sun shot out from my shoulder like lightning.
While Zi Yang was shouting, Becks, Rubel, Hart, and Kanter attacked the warriors from three different directions. They killed two or three warriors each when they were caught off guard. Zi Yang also spat out a string of fireballs from the sky and burned the two unlucky warriors into ashes.
The sudden attack caught those people off guard, and they scattered in all directions. Becks and the other three used their movement techniques to display the "Killing Sword Technique" with all their might. Like wolves entering a flock of sheep, they showed me the results of their training to their heart's content. Blood bloomed everywhere. The four of them had different styles of the same sword technique. Becks was fast and cunning, Rubel was fierce and domineering, Hart was agile and graceful, Kanter was steady and precise, and Hart was also very powerful. Kanter and his brother were even more powerful when used together. I wasn't surprised because the 'Killing Sword Technique' focused on the word 'kill'. It didn't need to be formal and was worthy of being the most practical killer sword technique. Moreover, although this sword technique was a little difficult for me to teach Becks and the others as a basic sword technique, it laid a solid foundation for the four of them to advance in their martial arts in the future.
Slowly, those people came back to their senses and began to organize their counterattack. Becks and the other three were also struggling. The difference in numbers was too great! Even so, Becks and the others continued to destroy the other party. Of course, I couldn't just sit around idly. I drew my sword and flew up. Everywhere I passed, screams of pain could be heard.
Yue Ni heard a scream that was different from before. She woke up from her daze and looked at the battlefield again. She realized that the number of people surrounding them had decreased by half. What was going on? Yue Ni's spirits were lifted, and she stood up abruptly. Her actions were so violent that Lin, who was praying beside her, was so shocked that she opened her eyes unwillingly and got up to see what had happened. The scene presented in front of the two women made them feel unprecedentedly excited. There were five more figures in the field. Yue Ni recognized them as the five people who had been watching from the side just now. They were destroying the people who had surrounded them at an extremely fast speed. The young princess was overjoyed. They were saved! Lin was so excited that she almost fainted. This was the bloodiest scene she had ever seen. It was a pure massacre. She saw five blurry figures waving their swords like mowing grass. Every time they rose and fell, a life was lost. Especially the fastest figure. No one could stand where he passed. There were only screams and blood spurting into the air. Soon, only a few enemies were left after her " baptism ". Lin covered her eyes and shouted in pain," Don't kill! Don't kill him…"
The guards at the side were also shocked by what they saw. They did not dare to move, nor could they move. They watched as the five of them and the Dragon Whelp massacred more than a hundred people. Their enemies were all over the place, and only a few people were left!
Lin tried her best to suppress the pain in her heart. She hoped to save the people who were about to die under the demon's butcher knife. Hence, she opened her eyes and saw a masked person standing not far away from her. There was a dark green dragon whelp on his shoulder. He was watching the other four people chasing after the remaining people who were about to escape.
"Leave him alive!" Thinking of something, I said to the four kids who had gone crazy from killing. What a pity! I was still a step too late. Rubel had already sent the last person to meet God. Sigh! Forget it, it's none of my business anyway! At this moment, the Divine Priest ran to the corpses, as if she was looking for any living ones.
The four kids returned to my side one after another. The last one, Rubel, had a delighted expression on his face, not caring about the injuries on his body at all. He stood in front of me and laughed foolishly. I was about to say something to him when I was interrupted by an elegant female voice.
"Thank you for saving me!"
I turned around and saw the red-robed girl whose face had turned red from excitement. I originally wanted a sum of money for my labor. Looking at her carriage, I knew that she was either rich or noble. Moreover, those losers I just killed didn't have a single cent on them. I didn't want to work for free! Now that she's thanking us, we've become living Lei Feng. Lei Feng doesn't get paid for doing good deeds! I could only nod my head reluctantly. I was annoyed. It was probably because my two masters had severe female allergy for too long that I was still at my wit's end with women! She lifted her feet and wanted to leave…
"Young Master, I have a presumptuous request.”Seeing that she was about to leave, she hurriedly said.
I nodded and thought,"What kind of f * cking presumptuous request is this?"
" We were going back to Saint Grace City, but now…" She looked at me with her big beautiful eyes. I didn't show any expression on the surface, but my heart was filled with goosebumps.
"Can you escort us?”After a moment of hesitation, she made her request and looked at me firmly, waiting for my reply. This time, it was my turn to have a headache. I pondered.
At this time, the priestess didn't find any survivors and returned to the girl in red in disappointment. She glared at me fiercely and snorted coldly. I think I saved you! This idiotic woman!
"I can give you a very high reward!”I didn't notice my companion's small movements at all. Seeing that I was hesitating, the red-dressed girl hurriedly threw out the bait.
"Good!" I thought about how I'm also going to Saint Grace City, and I can earn money from it. Besides, the lady beside me, hmph, if I don't let you have a taste of my power, I'll write the words 'Xue Yu' backwards. As the saying goes, plan before you act. Know yourself and know your enemy. I'll figure out her background first. Hence, he agreed.
Hearing that I agreed, the red-clothed woman was extremely happy and thanked me repeatedly. The person beside her immediately pulled her aside and muttered. Looking at the troubled look of the woman in red, he knew that what Miss Divine Priest said was definitely not a good thing. Hmph, just wait and see! After burying the corpses and cleaning up, we set off.
Along the way, I found out that the priestess 'name was Lin. She was an apprentice priest and was studying in the Temple of the Goddess of Life. I told you! The religious lunatic from where was the Temple of the Goddess of Life! Speaking of the name Lin. Se's sister was also called Lin, but she was studying in Saint Mynn City's Holy Magic Academy. He was glad that she wasn't her.
As for that red-clothed girl, good heavens, she was actually Princess Yueni of Yasre. As for the rest, I don't care. So what if she's a princess? I don't care. In comparison, I prefer to anger Miss Lin. How? Easy! I didn't need to think of another way. I just had Becks and the other three sweep away the bandits who didn't know what was good for them and instructed them to make it a little bloody. Every time the kind Miss Lin saw me counting the gold coins I had taken from the bandits and the four bloodstained teenagers, especially when Rubel was still not satisfied after killing them, Miss Lin would glare at me fiercely as if I had molested her and killed her brothers. That fierce look almost became my greatest pleasure. However, she had no choice but to go to the side and pray for the dead.
As for the other guards, they were filled with awe and respect for these five mysterious people who loved to kill and had strange martial arts techniques. Every time, they would help clean up the battlefield. Occasionally, they would even fight with us when there were large groups of bandits.
The princess was thinking about how to make these five people, especially Xue Yu, work for Yasre. Perhaps it was because he had saved them that they had a strong impression of the princess. As for Lin's question, the princess felt that there was nothing wrong with killing the bandits. Those bandits had killed countless people. If they did not die, they would kill countless innocent civilians. Therefore, the action of five people killing the bandits was beneficial to the country, although this kind of action of robbing the bandits and amassing wealth was not worth advocating. When Yue Ni said this, Miss Lin pondered for a long time. She almost had a mental breakdown, but she could not come up with a reason. She could only helplessly repeat her habitual action of getting angry when she saw me.
More than ten days passed by quickly. There were no more attacks like the last time. The knights who came to pick up the princess had already met up with the princess's team. As there were no bandits on the road near the king's city, Becks and I had nothing to do. Our destination, Saint Mynn City, would arrive the day after tomorrow.
