Fighting Against the Odds: I Am the Right Path

Under normal circumstances, the Little Medical Fairy would definitely have a good talk with the little boy in front of her.

But the strength displayed by the little boy just now was obviously extraordinary, and he was still under the protection of Xiao Yan, so he decided not to cause trouble for Xiao Yan.

At this moment, Xiao Yixian actually felt a little unwilling in her heart to be protected by Xiao Yan.

".Humph!" The little boy curled his lips slightly and asked unhappily, "Why did you come back?"

"I just bought the wrong map, and I want to come over and exchange it."

Xiao Yan explained his purpose again. The little boy snorted coldly, jumped off the table holding the bag of gold coins, and walked towards the house with his short legs.

"They're all on the shelf, go change them yourself, don't think about taking more!"

As the little boy was about to enter the inner room, he suddenly remembered something, stopped abruptly, turned his head again to look at Xiao Yan's face, frowned and stared at him for a long time, then asked in a low voice.

"What's your name?"

"I?"

Hearing the little boy's question, Xiao Yan was stunned at first, and then answered truthfully.

"My name is Xiao Yan."

"Xiao Yan?" Upon hearing this name, the little boy frowned at first, and then asked again: "What is your relationship with Xiao Yu of the Motie Mercenary Group?"

"Eh?"

Hearing the little boy's question, Xiao Yan was stunned at first, and then answered immediately.

"Xiao Jing is my sister. Do you know her?"

"She has become a big celebrity in the Tagor Desert in the past six months. Everyone here should know her." The little boy waved his hand lightly, with a hint of sarcasm on his lips. "She has been announcing that humans and snake people should coexist peacefully in the past six months, causing unrest in the entire Tagor Desert. There are so many people who want to kill her, whether they are humans or snake people."

! ! ! ! !

Xiao Yan's face suddenly turned ugly. He flashed in front of the little boy, squatted down and stared at him closely.

"What happened to my sister?!"

Ok? !

Seeing Xiao Yan suddenly flash in front of his face, the little boy's tiny body was suddenly startled, his eyes full of horror.

This? Is this the speed of a fighting master? I didn’t even see it clearly!!!

But this astonishment only lasted for a moment. Soon the little boy suppressed the shock in his heart, curled his lips slightly and continued to walk into the inner room.

"What the hell does it have to do with me? I just asked casually because I saw that you look like her. I don't want to waste my time arguing with you."

"etc."

Xiao Yan wanted to ask something, but the little boy had already entered the room and closed the door tightly, causing Xiao Yan to clench his fists.

sister

"Xiao Yixian, let's go now! To Mocheng!"

Xiao Yan stood up and greeted Xiao Yixian, without even thinking about changing the map.

Mocheng is the location of the Motie Mercenary Group founded by Xiao Yan's elder and second sisters.

However, just as he took a step, the room behind him opened again, and a black robe was thrown directly on Xiao Yan, blocking his vision. Then the little boy's voice came into Xiao Yan's ears again.

"Put it on. We are in the desert after all, so we should be a little bit respectful of the sun above our heads."

"This is?"

Xiao Yan looked at the black robe in his hand in astonishment. It was obviously not thin, but it felt extremely cool.

He looked at the little boy and found that he had put on a smaller black robe at some point. He was holding another black robe in his hand. He walked past Xiao Yan and came to the Little Medical Fairy. He raised his hand and handed it to her, reminding her.

"Here, don't break it for me. Return it to me after you're done. This thing is so troublesome to make."

"Huh? Ah, thank you."

Hearing the strange self-introduction of the little boy, the little medical fairy took the black robe from the little boy in a daze. The moment she touched it, her whole body shuddered, and then she lifted the black robe in astonishment and looked at it back and forth.

How does this work? It's icy and cool. With this, you don't have to worry about heat stroke anymore!

"Let's go. I'll take you to Mo City."

The little boy pulled up the black robe and left the map shop. Xiao Yan immediately reacted, put on the black robe, and followed him with Xiao Yixian.

The little boy brought the two of them to the west gate of Shimo City. After bargaining for a price with the driver at the door, he jumped into the carriage with the two of them. Xiao Yan and Xiao Yixian looked at the four sand foxes pulling the carriage in front with some curiosity.

Using Warcraft to pull a cart really lives up to the desert, it's quite tough.

In the car, the little boy also started to talk to Xiao Yan.

"Half a year ago, your sister Xiao Jing suddenly led a mercenary group to promote the concept of peaceful coexistence between humans and snake people in Shimo City and the surrounding cities."

"But people like this are considered crazy by everyone. One pops up every once in a while, and people here are used to it."

"After all, in everyone's eyes, humans and snake people are irreconcilable enemies, and peaceful coexistence is simply impossible. Since it is considered impossible from the beginning, naturally no one will try."

"But your sister is really a weirdo among weirdos."

The little boy glanced at Xiao Yan and spoke slowly.

"Not only did she do ideological work on the human side, she also did her best to help the snake people, provided them with all kinds of living supplies, tried to sell the snake people's specialties to humans through formal transactions, and made up all kinds of stories to ease the prejudice of humans against the snake people. It sounds simple, but she is the only one who can do this."

The little boy said this and raised his little hand to scratch his hair.

"In short, her idea is to use lobbying to shake the prejudices of humans and snake people against each other, and then use the Desert Iron Mercenary Group as a transit point to form an industrial trading chain between humans and snake people. As long as they trade slowly, even if the current results are minimal, the snake people are willing to trade only for the sake of materials. But after a long time, maybe humans and snake people can really shake hands and make peace."

Chapter 137 Results

"Shouldn't this be a good thing? No matter for humans or snake people."

After hearing what the little boy said, the little doctor fairy couldn't help but speak. The little boy glanced at her lightly and said slowly.

"You are right. If humans and the snake people really make peace, it will be a good thing for both sides. Humans will no longer have to worry about the invasion of the snake people, and the snake people will no longer have to worry about supplies."

The little boy said this, his eyes narrowed slightly.

“But don’t forget that no matter which group it is, there will always be people who make profits through various means, and Xiao Yu’s idea of ​​letting humans and snake people live in peace has touched some people’s hearts from the beginning.” The little boy’s purple eyes flickered with light, and he turned to look at Xiao Yan, “Your sister naturally understands this truth, but she not only did not give in, but before doing this series of things, the first thing she did was to crack down on the human slave trade, using extremely tough means.”

"Wait? Slave trade?" Xiao Yan was stunned and said quickly: "My sister said that the slave trade has been banned by the Jia Ma royal family. It should have disappeared long ago."

"Extinct? What are you thinking?" Xiao Yan's words sounded very innocent to the little boy, and he sneered: "As long as something has huge profits, no matter how it is prohibited, there will always be people who risk their lives to do it, because the profits are worth the risk."

"Before the slave trade was banned by the Jia Ma royal family, the profits from trading with the snake people were terrifyingly huge. After the ban, the profits increased instead of decreasing. Otherwise, do you think the snake people can really be hostile to humans because of the hatred hundreds of years ago? Do you think they don't want to come out from the depths of the desert?"

"Let me tell you this. Before the slave trade was banned, not counting the gold coins at that time and the current exchange rate, a male snakeman could be sold for around 10,000, while a female snakeman could be sold for 50,000."

"So after the slave trade was banned, what do you think the snake people were sold for on the black market?"

The little boy had a gloomy face and raised his little hand to indicate a price.

"The price of a male snake-man has been raised to one hundred thousand, and a female snake-man is at least five hundred thousand."

? ! ! !

Xiao Yan and Xiao Yixian were shocked, especially Xiao Yixian. All the property she had looted from the secret room was less than one million gold coins! And selling two female snake people in the Tagor Desert could bring one million? !

"So now you understand why there are so many people here who want to kill your sister."

The little boy was leaning against the carriage with his head in his hands, his legs raised and shaking.

"Destroying someone's financial resources is like killing their entire family. Your sister cracked down on the slave trade to convince the Serpent People of her determination, and she did it. In the past six months, your sister has defeated many slave traders and sent all the trafficked Serpent People back to the Serpent People safely." The little boy pouted and said in a sinister voice, "As for the price, your sister can't even sleep peacefully now. Every time she goes out, she has to be accompanied by a group of mercenaries. She won't even go out with the mercenary group unless it's something important."

As he said this, the little boy chuckled.

"You are clearly doing good things, but your life is threatened all the time. It's really sad. I really don't know what your sister is trying to achieve."

"So how did you and my sister meet?"

Xiao Yan looked at the little boy and asked, and the little boy waved his hand and answered casually.

"Your sister bought the map from me when she first came to the Tagor Desert to establish a mercenary group. Later, she bought more than a dozen goods from me for various reasons. I would occasionally sell her some information that others didn't know, such as the slave traders' lairs."

"Your sister never defaulted on her payments, and we became familiar with each other after a while. She even hired me to be her bodyguard for two days, but she thought it might cause me unnecessary trouble, so she fired me on the third day."

The little boy said this. Although he was very satisfied with Xiao Ji's righteousness, he had to admit that Xiao Ji's consideration was right. He was the only one in the entire Tagor Desert, and if it was exposed one day, it would really cause a lot of trouble. The little boy didn't want to get involved in this mess. Even if Xiao Ji didn't fire him, he would not continue to do it.

".Anyway, thank you for helping my sister."

Xiao Yan bowed his head to thank the little boy. At this time, the little medical fairy frowned tightly, looked at the little boy and asked.

"Hey, kid, how old are you? Why do you sound so old-fashioned when you talk?"

Especially when the little boy called himself "old man", the little medical fairy had been enduring it all the way, and she really couldn't help but ask.

"kid?"

As soon as Xiao Yixian finished speaking, the little boy's originally kind face suddenly turned gloomy, veins bulged between his eyebrows, and he looked at Xiao Yixian with a sneer.

"How old do you think I am?"

"Uh! Sorry, sorry! I'm just really curious!"

Noticing the little boy's displeasure, the little medical fairy quickly bowed her head to apologize. The little boy snorted lightly, reached his little hand into his arms and groped around, and after a long while handed her a portrait.

Xiao Yixian took it in her hands in a daze, and Xiao Yan also came over to look at it.

He was an old man who looked to be in his sixties or seventies. But even from a portrait, Xiao Yan and Xiao Yixian could sense how handsome he was when he was young.

"This is what I originally looked like. As for why I became like this, it has nothing to do with you."

As the little boy spoke, he took the portrait from Xiao Yixian's hand and put it in his arms, but he found that Xiao Yixian and Xiao Yan were still staring at him, which made him grit his teeth in dissatisfaction.

"What? Any opinions?"

"No, no, no!"

Xiao Yan and Xiao Yixian quickly shook their heads, both of them feeling doubtful in their hearts.

No wonder the little boy didn’t speak like a child from beginning to end. It’s a pity for that cute face.

After more than ten minutes, the car stopped and the driver looked back at the three people.

"Guest, we have arrived at Mocheng."

"Oh, that was hard."

The little boy raised his hand and greeted him, then jumped out of the car. Xiao Yan and Xiao Yixian also jumped out of the car.

In front of them was a city that looked much smaller than Shimo City, and the sign on the city gate was engraved with the words "Mo City".

"Let's go, I'll take you to the Desert Iron Mercenary Group."

The little boy waved his hand and led Xiao Yan and Xiao Yixian into Mo City.

After entering Mo City, the little boy glanced left and right at the pedestrians on the street, frowned slightly, and muttered softly.

"As the rumors say, I've been having some troubles lately."

"What do you mean?"

Xiao Yan heard the little boy's murmur and bent down slightly to ask, "Isn't this street quite peaceful?"

"I just said that your sister intends to turn the mercenary group into a transit station for humans and snake people." The little boy pointed to the street and said, "When I came here a few times before, I could see many snake people on the street, but now I can't see a single snake person."

"Could it be that they just happened not to come?"

The little medical fairy expressed a guess, but the little boy frowned and whispered slowly after a long time.

"hope so"

Chapter 138 Meeting Qinglin Again

Xiao Yan and Xiao Yixian were walking on the street with the little boy, when suddenly a familiar voice came into Xiao Yan's ears.

"Master Xiao Yan?!"

"Ok?"

Xiao Yan looked in the direction of the sound and saw a little girl with green hair running over excitedly holding a big bag. It was the Qinglin that Xiao Ling and Xiao Li brought home during the Chinese New Year.

"Qinglin just thought I saw it wrong, but I didn't expect it to be Young Master Xiao Yan!"

Qing Lin stood in front of Xiao Yan, looking up at him happily.

"Qinglin, long time no see~"
