An invincible journey that begins with a different race

"Shouldn't you be worried about this kind of thing?"

"If it were you, it shouldn't be." Alma said, "Do you know why I prefer humans to elves? Or even, why do I prefer you?"

Stank thought for a moment and asked, "Isn't it because you are an old lady in the eyes of your fellow tribesmen..."

Alma calmly interrupted Stank: "Speak carefully."

"Uh, okay." Stank said, "Is it because I'm powerful?"

"That's half right." Alma looked at Stank with encouraging eyes, gesturing for him to continue.

Half right?

Stank said, "That's me, half as powerful?"

"No, you think you are very powerful." Alma said with a smile, "In layman's terms, you are so ordinary, yet so confident."

Stank: "..."

"Just kidding." Alma said softly, "You don't mind."

Only then did Stank understand that Alma was seeking revenge for what he had just said.

"Okay, so what's the reason?" Stank asked.

"It's because you humans, especially you, have the eternal vitality." Alma said with a smile, "You are never afraid of anything, you are never afraid of anything, you are always fresh about everything, and you feel fresh about everything. Curious. And these are things that I can’t see in the immortal species. This is reflected in all aspects. To say the least, you human magicians are still studying magic at the last moment of your life, trying to move forward. Go to a higher level and unlock more mysteries. And our elven magicians will only study one kind of magic when they get old...that is immortality. Even if they have lived for hundreds or thousands of years, they still want to To live forever. In order to live forever, they would rather treat themselves as a plant and do nothing except absorb nutrients."

Stank was stunned. Although he had heard that elves tend to cherish their lives as they get older, he never expected that it would reach this level. So he subconsciously asked, "Is that still considered alive?"

"Yes." Alma looked at Stank and asked with a smile, "Is that still alive?"

Stank stayed for a while before he understood what Alma meant.

"If you are afraid of moving forward because of this or that, and don't move forward anymore, what's the difference between you and those elves who just want to survive?" Alma chuckled, "Stank, I hope you come to me, It was when you came back here after going through all kinds of hardships and regarded me as a harbor, and then told me about your adventure experiences and interesting things. It’s not that you really think of me as your only place... Although I really want you to keep spending money with me, but in that case, will you still be a Stank?"

After listening to Alma's words, Stank's breathing became heavier a little bit. He clenched his fists tightly, as if he wanted to say or do something.

But after a while, he still unclenched his fist and sighed: "What's the use of talking about it now? They're gone."

Alma showed a meaningful smile: "Really? Look outside."

Stank was stunned for a moment, then turned his head sharply and looked out the window.

Then, he saw the mighty convoy of yak girls on the street, and the familiar figure sitting on the yak girl's back, constantly waving to him.

"It's time to set off after you've rested, Stank!" Ganqiu roared at Stank, "Don't forget our original oath! We want to kill all the dream demons in the world and all races! How can you stop here? Come down! Has your little head been retired?!"

Brutz also pointed at Stank and said: "Stank! Don't forget what you told me, a warrior's sword is not meant to be hidden in the scabbard!"

Aesop didn't speak, just looked at Stank quietly.

But there was no need for him to say anything. Stank already understood everything and his eyes became red.

"Everyone……"

His body trembled slightly, and then, as if he had made a decision, he turned back sharply and looked at Alma.

Alma understood what Stank meant and nodded with a smile: "Go ahead, you have already paid."

At that moment, Stank's eyes were no longer confused. He nodded vigorously, and then he was about to jump from the window.

"Hey, wait..." Alma was about to call out Stank, but Stank moved too quickly and had already jumped down, leaving the second half of Elma's words in the room, "You haven't Get dressed."

Stank didn't hear Alma's words. He was very excited at the moment, as if he was back to his young self when he just started taking risks, so energetic and fearless.

Yes, I am only thirty, why am I confused here, how can I stop here? !

Stank looked at his friends not far away, couldn't help but open his arms, and then ran towards them with all his strength.

Ganqiu and Brutz both showed happy smiles: "Stank, you finally..."

But while I was smiling, I felt something was wrong.

The relief in that smile gradually turned into horror.

"Wait, wait! Stank, stop it!"

"Stop fucking moving forward!"

"Your second brother is shaking like crazy!"

Two-one-five bastard!Your sword is on my ass!

Not long after the group of people officially left Mengma Town, there was an underground construction site some distance away from Mengma Town, where the Mingchan clan was working.

The Singing Cicadas will work underground when they reach adulthood, and will not stop working until they are about to die.During the war years, they were generally used as coolies.And in peaceful times... they are almost the same.It's not that there are still people who are secretly exploiting them. In peaceful times, this kind of behavior without human rights has long been strictly prohibited by the church.

The reason why they still work so hard is purely because of their racial characteristics, which is that they like to stay in the dark underground and dig around.

Occasionally, I yearn for life outside, but only occasionally.

until this day.

A Cicada clan member went to the ground to purchase daily necessities as usual.

Because there are so few things underground, the cicadas who go shopping usually come back with a lot of things.The food here is not just food. In the war years, when the cicadas were squeezed, they could only buy food. But in peacetime, even the underground cicadas have some spiritual needs. Even if they don’t yearn for them, they still have some spiritual needs. I want to understand the outside world and the people outside.

Therefore, buyers will bring back some reading materials every time they make a purchase.

Although these reading materials are a bit boring to ordinary people, because the song cicadas who purchased them do not understand what reading materials are interesting and what reading materials are not interesting at all.The bookstore owner who sold them these reading materials saw that the buyers were so new, so he blackheartedly sold them the books that were piled in the corner and no one was reading them.

And they returned to the underground with these completely unsellable reading materials to show to other tribesmen.

For example, the laws promulgated by the church, the demon clan's promotion of their own governing philosophy, or the advertisements of some inferior vendors.

The cicadas huddled underground looked confused and inexplicable, but they didn't think it was their own problem. They just felt that the outside world was really profound and difficult to understand. It was easier to understand the underground world. Staying underground It is indeed the best.

Until this day, a buyer brought back a very "different" book.

Generally speaking, when the cicadas read a book, whoever takes a break goes to eat something and flip through the reading materials while eating, as a way to amuse themselves while eating.I usually read it for 10 minutes, then throw it back if I can't understand it, and wait until the next cicada comes to read it.

But this time, the cicada who got the book did not put the book back. Instead, he huddled in the corner and stared at it with a pair of big fluttering eyes. He even forgot to nibble the food in his hands.And this viewing only lasted for half an hour, and I was so fascinated that I even forgot about my favorite job.

Although the female song cicada cannot speak, her expression, slightly red face, slightly trembling body, and incomprehensible emotions in her eyes still attracted the attention of other cicadas.

Ever since, more female cicadas gathered around and looked at the book in her hand curiously.

This book is called "Aesop's Fables".

One of the female cicadas was very curious and gestured to the female cicada who was reading the book, asking her what was in the book and why was she reading it so enthusiastically?

The female cicada who was reading came back to her senses, and then found that she accidentally spilled dry food crumbs on the page while reading, so she hurriedly blew it off, and then carefully observed whether there was anything left on it. .After he was sure that it was really clean, he closed the book very solemnly, gestured to the other female cicadas with curious expressions on their faces, and answered their questions.

"What is this book about?"

"world."

……

As a group of people were heading to the snowy field, Aesop seemed to suddenly feel something. He turned his head and looked in the direction he came from.

"What's wrong with you?" Ganqiu noticed Aesop's movements and asked curiously, "You're not homesick, are you?"

Aesop shook his head: "No."

"what is that?"

Aesop thought for a while and said, "It seems that someone bought my book."

Gan Qiu was simply shocked: "You might as well say that you are homesick. Who will buy your ghost book? No, it is possible to buy it, but you know how to buy it. Are you on top?" A curse?"

Aesop shook his head again, and then said: "That's not true, but the feeling just now was very strange, something I have never experienced before... I think this may be the power of faith that Lysa mentioned, right?"

Ganqiu was speechless: "You mean, in such a short period of time, someone has already bought your book and regarded it as a belief?"

"should be."

"What are you talking about?" Gan Qiu said, "How could there be such an ignorant guy who thinks that a little pornographic book is faith."

"That's not a pornographic book." Aesop said seriously, "It's just that the content happens to be a little bit colorful."

Ganqiu: "..."

"Okay, okay, can you please stop talking about Aesop's crappy book?" Stank, who was sitting on the back of the yak, was shivering and said to Ganqiu sitting in front of him, "Damn it, why is it so cold? .”

"We've reached the outskirts of the snowfield." Gan Qiu pointed to the snow-capped mountains not far away and said, "Of course it's cold. Why didn't you prepare your own clothes?"

"So are you all ready?"

"Of course." Ganqiu said, "I've prepared everything for them."

Stank looked at Ganqiu blankly, and then said angrily: "Then why don't you help me prepare?!"

"You still have the nerve to say that?!" Ganqiu said angrily, "Isn't it because you insisted on saying not to go in the first place? So I only prepared the equipment for those who are going. Do you think these equipment are easy? , they all need to be booked in advance, I didn’t see that the yak girls you and I are riding are from the same batch, originally they were one for each person!”

When it came to this, it was difficult for Stank to refute.Indeed, he was the one who couldn't talk about it before. If Jier hadn't sent a letter to call back the convoy that was already on the road, he would still be wailing in the arms of the elf girl.

Well, thinking about it this way, it seems quite happy.

"Stank! What are you thinking about again!"

When Stank recalled the warm embrace of the elf girl last night, Ganqiu immediately started shouting.

"What am I thinking?" Stank said angrily, "Do you still care what I am thinking?"

"I don't care what you are thinking, but you can't think about Thuse."

Stank subconsciously denied: "I didn't."

"Not yet?!" Ganqiu said angrily, "Your sword is on my butt! You make me feel very dangerous, you bastard!"

[-] eating grass and squeezing...

Stank was also very annoyed. He was unwilling to ride on a yak with Gan Qiu, especially when Gan Qiu felt every move he made.

He is very chivalrous, and has always advocated fighting alone with his opponents. He never bullies others or uses more to defeat fewer.Especially the current configuration of Erlang and Yiniang is really the greatest insult to his personality and dignity!

"Do you think I am willing?" Stank said, "If you don't want to ride, I won't ride! Let me get down and I can walk by myself!"

Before Ganqiu could reply to Stank's words, the yak girl who was being ridden by the two of them had already turned her head, then shook her finger at him and said with a smile: "This guest, I advise you It’s best not to do this.”

"why?"

"This is a snowy field. If you consume too much energy, you will easily become hypothermic." The yak girl explained, "Once you become hypothermic due to lack of physical strength in the snowy field, it will be even more troublesome to take care of it. It is not as good as now. .”

"But now you have to carry two of us and two pieces of luggage, aren't you really tired?" Stank said, "Wouldn't it be more troublesome if you become hypothermic due to lack of physical strength?"

"If this is the case, you don't need to worry." Yak Girl said with a smile, "We are professionals at this point. And although you are two people, Mr. Ganqiu is very small and light, and you can't feel the weight at all. Well, I just need to carry you on my back."

Hearing what the yak girl said, Gan Qiu immediately became unhappy: "Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, you said I'm light, can you remove the small print? Where the hell am I too small? Look at me... these feet, aren't they bigger than Stank's? How many times that? Do you know what this means? The size of many parts cannot be seen from the outside!"

"Yes, yes, yes." The yak girl followed Ganqiu very well, "Then I will call you 'big' Ganqiu from now on."

The yak lady also stressed the word "big", but Gan Qiu still sounded very satisfied: "This is pretty much it."

Stank was also satisfied and stopped clamoring to leave on the ground. Many times, when encountering something, as long as he sees someone who is more unlucky than himself, he will instantly get better.

"Speaking of which," Stank looked at the yak girl carrying him and said, "You are really adapted to this environment."

The yak girl said very proudly: "Of course, we were born for this environment. Apart from us, no other race can bring you to such a place. Those centaur girls can't do it at all. Huh, I really don't know. Why do they make more than me?"

In one sentence, naked racial conflicts were stirred up.

In fact, after they immediately suppressed the demon demons, when they talked with these yak girls, they heard them mention the centaurs the most, and they basically talked about them with disdain, scorn, and outright contempt.

Because in their opinion, apart from walking faster than them and adapting to more environments than them, centaurs have no way to compare with them.

You know they can... carry more!

Well, it seems there is no advantage.

No, they can still enter the snowfield!

But the snowfield has not developed at all. The races in the snowfield are trying their best to run out, but the races outside the snowfield will never run into the snowfield if they are not crazy.This makes the yak girls feel that they have nothing but useless abilities.

That's why they were very dissatisfied with those little coquettish hooves (centaurs). They felt that it wasn't that they couldn't compare to those guys, but that they just had bad luck.

But Stank disagreed with this point. After all, apart from anything else, the centaur's clothing was at least absolutely cool.

Each centaur girl only has a piece of cloth wrapped around her upper body, leaving the rest of her body free for customers to take advantage of.

As for the yak girl... that's really hard to describe. All she got was long, thick and dense black hair. She was not at all the black stockings and beast girl that Gan Qiu said, which made Stank feel that he had been fooled again. .

But it was really warm. As soon as I reached the outskirts of the snowfield and the cold air came up, I just wanted to bury my whole body in this thick black fur.

Bruce on the side asked curiously: "Why are all the women of your race who come out to pick up jobs? Where are the male yaks... Lang?"

As soon as these words came out, the eyes of the other people looking at Brutz were filled with horror, as if they were saying, "You still want a yak herd?" !
