Full-Time Magister: Summoning Agumon at the Start
Chapter 216 Arrival in the Ancient Capital
Mo Fan originally thought that Zhang Xiaohou would be excited to come up to him when he saw him, but he didn't expect that Zhang Xiaohou would just walk past him without any reaction, as if he were a stranger to him.
This left Mo Fan somewhat bewildered and unable to accept it, but he quickly came to his senses. Before Zhang Xiaohou had gone far, Mo Fan strode forward and grabbed Zhang Xiaohou.
Before Mo Fan and Zhang Xiaohou could speak, the girl standing next to Zhang Xiaohou glared at Mo Fan and said angrily, "What are you doing?!"
"Monkey, don't you recognize me? I'm your brother Fan!" Mo Fan ignored the girl and looked at Zhang Xiaohou in surprise.
Seeing that Zhang Xiaohou had no reaction, Mo Fan pointed to Lin Chen and said, "This is your brother Chen."
Zhang Xiaohou looked at Mo Fan, then at Lin Chen, his eyes filled with confusion.
"You know him?!" The girl, Su Xiaoluo, was overjoyed and hurriedly asked Mo Fan.
"The monkey must have lost its memory," Lin Chen quickly realized.
Mo Fan opened his mouth, glanced at Lin Chen, then looked at Zhang Xiaohou, who was still expressionless, and didn't know what to say for a moment.
Lin Chen walked up to Zhang Xiaohou and tentatively said, "He Yu, you should remember me, right? I heard you two have been together for a long time."
Upon hearing He Yu's name, Zhang Xiaohou, who had been looking somewhat wooden, suddenly adopted a thoughtful expression, as if the name was very important to him.
"Damn, I don't remember your older brother, but your girlfriend already had a reaction," Mo Fan couldn't help but complain.
But she still stepped forward, grabbed Zhang Xiaohou, and gave him a big hug: "Whether you have amnesia or not, it's good that you're alright. As long as you're not dead, everything can be treated, and you can return to your original appearance."
After hugging Zhang Xiaohou, Mo Fan told Su Xiaoluo about their relationship and also explained the purpose of their visit.
Knowing that Lin Chen and Mo Fan were Zhang Xiaohou's friends and had come to take him back, Su Xiaoluo was genuinely happy for Zhang Xiaohou.
However, when Mo Fan said he wanted to take Zhang Xiaohou back to the city, Zhang Xiaohou refused. From Zhang Xiaohou's eyes, Lin Chen and Mo Fan both realized that Zhang Xiaohou was very dependent on Su Xiaoluo at the moment and did not want to leave Su Xiaoluo.
But thinking about it, it's understandable. Zhang Xiaohou has so many scars on his body, which clearly means he suffered a serious injury before. If it weren't for Su Xiaoluo's treatment, Zhang Xiaohou might have really died.
Just as Mo Fan was trying to figure out how to coax Zhang Xiaohou back, Hong Jun walked over and said, "What do you mean by leaving? We've decided. Before it gets dark, let's hurry and migrate to the ancient capital."
Upon hearing this, Mo Fan's eyes immediately lit up. If Su Xiaoluo was leaving, Zhang Xiaohou would definitely follow. As long as they returned to the ancient capital, they could ask a healing mage to cure his amnesia.
"Are you leaving the village?" Su Xiaoluo asked, looking up.
"Yes, the village is no longer safe. If we stay any longer, we'll all die here." Hong Jun said, pointing to another direction in the village, where the village chief was already mobilizing the villagers to pack their belongings.
"I also think you should leave this place of trouble as soon as possible," Mo Fan advised.
Su Xiaoluo nodded and smiled slightly: "Alright, Zhang Xiaohou, let's go together to the ancient capital to heal your injuries."
However, not all the villagers of Huacun agreed to relocate to the ancient capital. Some stubborn people preferred to hide in the well and endure the chaos of the dead rather than go outside the village.
To put it bluntly, they didn't trust Lin Chen and his group's abilities. They didn't think they could reach the ancient capital alive with Lin Chen's help, so they preferred to stay in the village, where the well god was protecting them.
The villagers didn't believe it, and Lin Chen and the others didn't bother to say anything more; their main objective was to rescue Zhang Xiaohou.
Escorting the villagers to the ancient capital was just a side effect.
If the villagers trust them, Lin Chen and his group will do their utmost to ensure their safety; if the villagers don't trust them, then Lin Chen and his group can only leave it to fate.
Of the more than one hundred survivors in Huacun, only about thirty were willing to leave, and a few stayed behind after being persuaded by an old woman before they left.
In the end, the thirty-odd people from Huacun left the village with Lin Chen, Mo Fan, Liu Ru, the short man, and the strong man.
As for Asha'ruya and her two attendants, they had no interest in the escort and left after lingering for a while.
At this point, Lin Chen still couldn't recall what Asha's purpose was.
Because the days are short and the nights are long during this season, and the weather has been overcast, everyone's travel speed has increased considerably. In addition, the villagers of Huacun are all in good physical condition, and they have covered a considerable distance in a single day.
The daytime was safe, and everyone was quite relaxed on their journey. However, after 3 p.m., a strange gloom began to hang over everyone's hearts. No one knew whether they, who had grown up drinking well water, still had the protection of well water, nor did they know whether Lin Chen and Mo Fan were really reliable.
When they came to a fork in the road, Xie Sang, the village chief of Huacun, suggested taking a different route. Although Yangyang Village was a straight road, the undulating terrain would actually take longer to traverse.
As night fell, the villagers began to gravitate towards the village chief Xie Sang and Hong Jun, while the rest crowded around Su Xiaoluo.
"Lin Chen, they don't seem to trust us much," Mo Fan said, observing the villagers' behavior.
"Why think so much? Just know it yourself." After saying that, Lin Chen added, "Mo Fan, you and the short man go ahead and clear the way. Liu Ru and I will go behind to protect those young people."
"OK, you two be careful too." Mo Fan nodded and gave a word of advice.
As night fell, deathly energy began to permeate the earth, and the spirits of the dead emerged from the ground once more.
Just as the dwarf was worried that they might be attacked by the undead, they discovered that the undead around them seemed to have no reaction to them at all, as if they didn't exist at all.
"Your well water is effective, so why do you say you've been attacked by the undead?" The short man looked around curiously.
"Don't worry about that now, let's get to the ancient capital as soon as possible. If it fails along the way, it will be too late to regret it," Village Chief Xie Sang urged.
Without the attacks of the undead, the group found their journey at night much easier. After a brief rest at dawn, they continued on their way, and the second night passed without incident.
Just when they were about to reach the ancient capital after a day's journey, suddenly undead emerged from the ground and began attacking the nearby villagers.
Fortunately, Lin Chen discovered it in time and summoned the Tyrannosaurus Rex just as the undead made their move.
With a roar from the Tyrannosaurus Rex, the undead fled back underground. Only then did the villagers of Huacun realize that Lin Chen's strength was not as simple as his appearance suggested.
After this minor mishap, the rest of the journey was uneventful, and Lin Chen and Mo Fan successfully led the villagers of Huacun to the outskirts of the ancient capital.
