C67 A Mysterious Song
He glanced at the Guild Leader. "I've already ordered the transport team to rush over here. Don't send anyone else to tell them."
Being slandered by Fatty, the captain's eyes were also filled with anger, but since the other party was the employer, it was not good to fall out with him.
He suppressed his anger. "This place is really dangerous. You saw the huge explosion just now. The flames could reach up to fifty to sixty meters in height. Although I don't know what caused the explosion, this is definitely not a safe place. We need to avoid it to the greatest extent possible..."
Fatty sneered," Dangerous? I'm not afraid! Is this how you mercenaries do things? You're afraid of that, you're afraid of death. Dogs know how to protect their owners. You're not even comparable to dogs!"
After saying this, the leader's expression changed completely. His face was so gloomy that it was scary. The surrounding Knights were also furious. Their hands were all pressed on the hilt of their swords, ready to take them out at any moment.
The leader squeezed through the gaps between his teeth. One sentence: "You are a member of a big family, and you are the employer. We should not have attacked you, but please be respectful."
Fatty continued to pat his horse and walked forward, ignoring the angry knights.
"Is that so? Hehe, come and kill me if you dare." His horse paused. He turned to look at the knights and said, "But let me tell you, this time, there is a very important 'large cargo'. It is related to the interests of our Merlin Family. If something were to happen... None of you can escape, you will all lose your heads. "
These words seemed to have magic power, causing the anger of the knights to die down.
Looking at the dejected expressions on the knights' faces, fatty smiled complacently. "Therefore, we, this important 'big commodity', cannot waste too much time on the road, much less go around in circles because of unknown dangers. What do you think, lord Captain? "
The Captain's face was gloomy, but in the end, he still nodded his head.
Yu Yue, who was observing from afar, also heard these words. He obtained a lot of information from it.
It seemed like this group was divided into two forces.
One was the Mercenary Group led by Big Beard, and the other was the transport team led by Fatty. The transport team hired the Mercenary Group to protect their goods along the way.
In this batch of goods, there was the "big goods" mentioned by Fatty. No one knew what it was.
After that, it was to wait for the transport team to arrive and carry out a search in the valley.
Due to the previous conflict, the Knights did not have much motivation and only did a perfunctory search. Naturally, they did not find Yu Yue, who was hidden in the depths.
As for the fatso in gorgeous clothes, he got off his horse and wandered around the valley like the knights. He seemed to be very interested in this place.
Ten minutes later, a huge horse carriage entered the valley.
There were a total of five carriages pulling the luggage, and they were surrounded by well-armored cavalry and infantrymen. The total number of people in the caravan was more than 200, and it was a large caravan.
However, because of the explosion, the ground of the valley was full of bumps and hollows, and was full of gravel. It was difficult for horses to walk, not to mention the caravan.
In Yu Yue's eyes, the fatty's decision was absolutely wrong.
This place had just experienced a huge explosion. Was there any hidden danger? Not to mention, even the ground was several times harder to walk than normal mountainous regions.
Thus, let alone saving time, walking through the seemingly shortest valley would take much more time than taking a detour and walking on the flat road of Li Qi's mountain path.
Due to the rugged road, it was very difficult for the horse carriage to move forward. Even the carriage was making clanking noises.
Yu Yue secretly observed the eight carriages and thought about the "big goods" that would exist in the carriage. What exactly was that "big cargo"?
The carriages were completely black and sealed in a rectangular shape. There were beautiful patterns on the surface, and there was no difference from the outside.
As the carriages slowly passed through the ruins that Yu Yue had hidden, his ears twitched.
He heard a sound. It came from one of the boxes. It was clear and melodious.
It was a song?
The song wasn't loud, it sounded like it was just singing in a low voice. But it had a special magic, it penetrated through space and went straight to his brain. It was extremely clear.
The voice was very pleasant to listen to. Judging from the tone, the singer should be a girl. The song was not in the human language. Yu Yue, who was short-sighted, did not know what language it was, nor did he know what it was singing.
The young girl's clear voice was like a magic that healed wounds. When he heard it, a warm feeling rose up in his chest. His entire body felt comfortable, and he could not help but be enchanted by it.
Because the convoy was moving slowly, fatty impatiently walked forward to inspect. When he arrived at the fourth carriage, which was the carriage that had made the sound, he frowned.
"Stop!"
With a loud shout, he stopped all the carriages.
Although the carriage stopped, the singing did not stop. Tiny singing sounds came from the carriage.
Fatty lifted his leg and kicked the carriage.
"With a loud bang, fatty's strength was immense. The huge carriage was actually shaken by his kick.
A scream came from within.
Then, a woman's angry voice came from inside. "What are you doing!? Why did you knock on the door!?"
This voice was different from a girl's. It was a more mature female voice, but it was just as pleasant. However, when he spoke the human language, it sounded slightly awkward. It sounded like a foreigner speaking Mandarin.
"Ah? Are you questioning me? Sing, sing, sing! Who allowed you to sing?" Fatty cursed as he spat on the ground.
"It's just singing. Your voice is so soft. It shouldn't be a problem for you!"
"How come it's fine? Who doesn't know that you elves know all kinds of natural magic? Perhaps this song is a spell that connects heaven and earth, it might cause trouble for us."
Elves!
This word made Yu Yue, who was eavesdropping, very sensitive.
Elves were a type of race in Oracle Continent. Their relationship with humans was very unfriendly. The biggest reason was that the men and women of Elf Clan were born beautiful. The greedy humans captured them as slaves. That was why the Elf Kingdom had shed all pretenses of cordiality with humans.
Elves that were seen in the human world were usually slaves, and every one of them was very rare and precious. If this container really contained elves, it could indeed be used as a large commodity. It was worth a huge sum of money.
The woman said angrily, "We didn't!"
Hearing this, the angry expression on Fatty's face suddenly disappeared. The corners of his mouth revealed a smile that showed that his scheme had succeeded. "Then tell me, why is she singing?"
Hearing this, Yu Yue understood. So Fatty was trying to get information out of him.
He wanted to know what had happened and why it had exploded from an elf who was sensitive to the outside world. This fatty was unexpectedly smart.
"It's because a lot of lives died here just now. She's praying for these dead creatures!" The woman's voice was furious.
"Oh? Quite a few lives died? What life?" Fatty approached the chest and continued to probe.
"F * ck! Wood!"
"Is that all?"
This answer clearly did not satisfy Fatty. He frowned.
"Then do you think that those dirty, lowly Devil Beast is worth us praying for it? Let me tell you, we elves are different from despicable humans. We love nature, and we respect the life of plants!"
