Chapter 64 We Are Here To Rob
Under the gaze of all members of the Xiangxiangcao merchant group, Baiya walked to a green grassy area on one side and sat down lightly. Ailijia and Cu Ye stepped out of Baiya's back elegantly with their right feet on the ground, then Little Luoli touched its head and let it wander off by itself.
Elisha smoothed out the wrinkles on her dress, and then pulled over one side to help Hana tidy up. Her movements were as elegant as if she was performing a stage play. After Anqi spread out the picnic blanket on the grass, Elisha gently took off her beautiful leather sandals and walked over, using both hands to lift the hem of her skirt and kneel down in a very elegant posture. She began to take out various exquisite foods and drinks from her armlets and hand them over to Anqi, who was standing beside her, to prepare lunch.
The gentle breeze lifted Eliysha's hair, dancing in all directions. She gently stroked her soft locks, revealing a sweet smile amidst the sighs of nature.
You're so bossy!!! Haven't you seen that An Qi's eyes are twitching on one side?! Where's the chairman? Stop hovering in the sky and come down to mock me already!!!
Airi: "I occasionally show my girly side. What are you muttering about beside me?"
When did you ever have a maiden's heart?! You were still a middle-aged uncle just half a year ago! And if you really had that thing, wouldn't you want to force me to change the style of this book from cute and funny (pseudo) yuri to emotional marriage (fog) washing? Thank you, that's a work for women's frequencies, it doesn't match our label!
Next to her, because she was used to the image of a shameless little loli, but suddenly saw her so gentle and lovely noble lady-like appearance, she was shocked and stunned, and An Qi's soul was absent-mindedly making lunch.
"What's wrong, An Qi?" Eriol asked after taking a sip of refreshing mint tea, "Lost your appetite?"
“……Nothing, I'm fine.” An Qi was speechless for a while before casually grabbing a piece of bread. No matter how the thunder raged and the void shattered, filling her stomach first was the most practical thing to do. Just look at Ye Ye over there, who was eating with gusto, definitely having a deep understanding of this.
As for Grod, who was unaware of the truth nearby, he thoroughly regarded Eriol as a rich family's young lady - and he wasn't wrong. The reason he didn't recognize the little loli whose photo had spread throughout the entire continent was because she was so beautiful that it caused this gentleman's brain to temporarily malfunction.
Grod walked over, looking like he wanted to say hello.
"Hello, beautiful lady. It's a blessing from the gods to find shade in this same spot on a hot summer noon. I am the owner of that merchant caravan over there, you may call me Grod. The nearest town of Karenga is still quite a distance away on this road, would you mind joining us for the afternoon?"
A tone that is neither arrogant nor humble, good breeding, an ordinary invitation that seems to have no ulterior motives but actually aims at making acquaintances on the road... This businessman should be a big shot, so why are there only cheap trinkets in his carriage?
Alicia didn't bother to think about it anymore and stopped wasting her brain cells. She gave Grod a faint smile: "Having more companions on the journey is also a pleasant thing, I'm happy to travel with you all. As for my name..."
Seeing Eriol's hesitation, Grod hastily laughed and said: "If it's inconvenient, then don't say it. We common folk won't mind."
What a clever move, retreating in order to advance... If I didn't speak up, wouldn't that be looking down on commoners with my own identity? This guy has some substance, worth getting to know.
"There's nothing inconvenient." Eriol stood up, elegantly bowing slightly to Groud and said, "My name is Eriol Haris."
The merchant team members who were still talking in a low voice (because Xiao Loli sat over and everyone wanted to keep a good image, so they didn't use their usual loud voices) suddenly fell silent.
After two months of tireless promotion by Wet People, as well as countless special reports in newspapers and magazines, the entire Western Continent now knows what this name represents. Its owner, under a series of coincidences, united the indigenous people of the underground world, using strategies comparable to those of adults to defeat the demon army and stop their invasion. The girl's experience has become a legendary story passed down among the people, admired by all in this peaceful era.
No one dares to use this hero's name unless it is she herself.
Grod was stunned for a while, then ran to the carriage like a gust of wind and rummaged out a newspaper - now which family's newspaper or magazine doesn't print Little Lori's photo on the front page? If it doesn't sell at all, is this considered the ancestor of Zolelli's Moe single?
After comparing the real person and the photo, Grod suddenly discovered a truth: no matter how beautiful the blind date's photo looks, it can't compare to meeting in person; on the other hand, even if the photo is ugly, maybe the person just doesn't take good pictures.
This truth is universally applicable, so all you singles out there, take note.
Just as all the members of Xiangxuncao were collectively shocked, the mercury lamp that had been flying around in the sky flew back and landed on the tablecloth, glanced at Xiao Luoli beside him and asked: "What cold joke did you tell again?"
"I just told them their own name, why would it have anything to do with a cold joke?"
"Anqi, get me a cup of red tea."
"Don't ignore others! And is it really suitable to drink hot red tea in summer?"
It's started again as usual...
I am a divider line
Grod originally just wanted to make friends with a member of the large family, but ended up running into the legendary brave warrior - don't think I'll add anything else after these two words - it's like originally only planning to use a fishing boat to catch tuna, but ending up netting a blue whale instead.
Grod kept a low profile on the road. He knew his own weight, and compared to the ancient super-giant family of Harris, the sales channel operation strategy intelligence he grasped was nothing. If Little Lori were just a young lady from an ordinary noble family, or even a large noble family, Grod would have had confidence in being able to establish a relationship with her family. But the Harris family... was really too difficult for him.
Since Grod didn't plan on socializing, Elisha was happy to be idle. She pulled out a specially exchanged MP3 player. This small thing that could only play music was suitable for showing off in public, and its subsequent product... the crystal ball in this world could only watch live broadcasts, with not very good resolution. Those high-end goods with clear images would cause another commotion if taken out.
Elysha pressed the switch, and a light and cheerful melody suddenly floated on this dull and tasteless road, warming the dry hearts of everyone. Elysha closed her eyes, placed her right hand on her chest, took a deep breath, and sang loudly with the music:
"Set off towards the place that leads to the sky, even the small flowers blooming in the fields are surely unknown..."
The blue sky, white clouds, forest, gentle breeze, birds, road, horses, and carriage tracks... all the scenery is connected and blended together in this song, finally sublimating. The heaven and earth seem to have merged into one, deeply intoxicated by Eriol's beautiful melody.
As the song came to an end, Grod slowly opened his eyes, and was shocked to find that a group of mysterious armed men had gathered around the merchant caravan. These guys were now closing their eyes just like the members of their own caravan, with a look of intoxication on their faces. However, after the little loli's song ended, a middle-aged man with a goatee finally woke up, and was seen jumping up and shouting: "Wake up for Laozi!"
A thunderclap shook the sky, and the crowd, still in a state of intoxication, immediately came to their senses, then suspiciously looked around at the unfamiliar people.
"Hmm, what brings you all here?" Grote asked cautiously. Who would believe they were attracted by Eir's singing and came to listen specially? Haven't they seen the heavy weapons in their hands? Do they need to draw their swords just to listen to a song?!
"We're here to listen to songs..." Lü Bu's eyes took on a wistful expression, but he quickly snapped back to reality and slapped his own face. "No! This mountain was opened by me, this tree was planted by me, the tolls were set up by me, the fees were established by me... we're here to collect road tolls!" He corrected himself again, "No! We're here to rob people!"
"What the...! Is this what robbery looks like?! You guys are actually just here to be comedic relief, aren't you?!"
To ensure the students' safety, there are numerous patrol teams consisting of nearby countries and Rez City itself surrounding the area, thoroughly inspecting every nook. Bandits should have been severely cracked down on a long time ago, so why do some people still dare to commit crimes? Why aren't they afraid of being caught on camera and becoming an example, with a large group of relatives and friends lamenting how good this child used to be, but now has taken the wrong path, which is truly regrettable? It's infuriating, making me want to scream "You're all so annoying, just leave!" But in the end, I have no choice but to say "I was wrong, I let my family down, I let my teachers down, I let society down, I let XXX down..." and then get thrown into the river?
But anyway, they have already said with their own mouths that they came to rob.
Grod shrunk his body: "But we're just a small merchant group, there's nothing valuable in our goods?"
Luo Dui Hu waved his hand impatiently: "Who said we wanted to rob you, a poor and stingy merchant? Our target is that little girl who is a magic apprentice!"
Alicia stared at the hand pointing towards her and everyone's gaze following suit, suddenly widening her beautiful eyes.
Little loli was kidnapped for the first time and Fg was erected magnificently! Sprinkle flowers...
Eri-chan took out a handkerchief and bit it, making a face that was both scared and adorable, weakly asking: "Uncle, are you a lolicon?"
"This issue is too serious, Luō Jiǎn Hú hurriedly denied: 'Although I like little girls very much, but it's not to the extent of being a lolicon!'"
"Doesn't anyone at home help you warm your bed?"
The atmosphere became more serious, and the other person hastily shook his head: "No no no, I won't let you do something like warming up a bed!"
"Want an inflatable doll?"
This is already at the level of evil, right!?! Saying that, is this really a question that can be asked by a little girl?!?! And don't use the "I'm so scared" expression to maliciously ask out this kind of question, you dark-hearted little soul!!
He's now drenched in sweat: "I just wanted to be a human trafficker, why do I feel like my integrity is slowly disintegrating in other people's eyes?!"
Because you chose the wrong target for robbery...
