Chapter 1038 Observer: Here Comes Natlan
"Brother, are you and that white-haired sister really patrollers?"
In the rolling mountains and forests, there is an unknown small mountain village adjacent to a stream.
Lin Lan, wearing a simple coarse cloth, was sitting outside the village on a creek dock made of several pieces of wooden boards that were about to rot completely, fishing with the most primitive fishing rod in his hand.
It was around eight or nine o'clock in the morning, and the bright morning light penetrated the mist in the forest and fell on him, making him feel warm.
Beside him, there were four or five village children, chattering beside him and asking curious questions.
"I can't remember how many times I said it this morning. I really can't remember what happened before."
Lin Lan sighed helplessly. After saying this to the curious village children, he suddenly felt the fishing rod in his hand sink:
"Hey, it looks like I caught a big guy and I have lunch today!"
As he finished speaking, he lifted a black fish that was more than ten centimeters long, covered in scales, and swinging its tail from the creek.
"Wow! So awesome!"
His achievement instantly diverted the attention of these children.
Lift the caught fish and let the children put it into the bamboo fish basket.
Lin Lan really didn't expect that he could experience this kind of rural life.
This time yesterday he woke up in the upper stream of the creek.
To be precise, he was woken up by the little sword spirit.
The good man Richard, who had been de-metaized and had long white hair, fell beside him.
He carried the unconscious good man Richard on his back and walked along the creek for half a day, and finally arrived at this small mountain village at noon.
It's not like he didn't encounter ferocious beasts that dared to attack him on the way.
The most noteworthy one is a large blue-scaled python that is nearly tens of meters long, has sharp horns on its forehead, and can spit poisonous mist from its mouth.
He also paid great attention to the ferocious python that looked like the Liaozhou monster.
The body of the big python was completely chopped into several pieces by him with his wind blade, and it didn't even survive a single round under his hands.
As for why he was given the title Patrolman by this group of Natlan village children?
This starts from his first meeting with these villagers.
When they saw him walking into the village, almost all the Natland villagers, including the gray-haired village chief, insisted that he was the Immortal of the Sea Patrol, and they all trembled and knelt down to him.
After hearing that the villagers called him an immortal, Lin Lan finally confirmed that he and Richard had arrived in the Natlan Empire.
To be honest, although he did plan to visit this otherworldly country in person, he really didn't expect to do it in this way.
With almost no normal communication with the villagers, Lin Lan could only make up the story that he was attacked by evil cultivators, lost his memory, and had all his tokens taken away from him.
And surprisingly, not a single villager expressed doubts about the lie he made up casually.
Then the village chief personally entertained him and answered his questions respectfully and truthfully.
He learned from the other party that the python he killed was the ferocious beast that was hated by the entire county - Dusha Qing.
This ferocious beast has occupied the upper reaches of the creek for decades, and more than a hundred mortal hunters have died tragically from the poisonous mist in its mouth.
Even the disciples sent by nearby sects to kill him were severely injured.
According to the village chief's description, the poisonous green beast was extremely cunning, and it was likely that it was about to break through and become a third-level monster, and it was beginning to regain its sanity.
Lin Lan and Little Sword Spirit were both returning to Natland for the first time, so naturally they were very curious about monsters, sects and immortals.
So he placed the unconscious good man Richard in the best tile-roofed bedroom in the village arranged by the village chief himself, and then asked the village chief many things about this place.
It turned out that the reason why the village chief insisted that he was a patrol guard was because of the white commander's uniform he was wearing.
The navy of the Natlan Empire, like Blue Star's ancient Donghuang, was called the navy and was under the jurisdiction of the military department.
Since there are a large number of powerful monsters in the Duanzhou River and along the coast of Natland, mortal sailors are no match for those monsters.
Therefore, the military recruited a group of immortals who fought with the navy from various major immortal sects and people in Jianghu, and named them patrolling sea guards.
According to rumors, the attire of patrol guards is basically simple pure white fine cloth.
After hearing this, Lin Lan realized that the Natlan villagers here had probably never seen a real patrol guard, so they mistakenly thought he was a patrol guard.
Later, he learned that the mountain village where he was located was located in Qinglin County, Natlannan Prefecture, at the very edge of Dakang County's jurisdiction.
Villagers have lived here for generations and make a living by hunting and fishing.
Even if you go to the nearest town in Dakang County, you have to hike for three to five days on forest paths, not to mention that there are often vicious beasts on the road.
Fortunately, the Immortal Sect Qingxiao Pavilion in the Evergreen Mountains regards the small village as a protective area and often sends immortals to frighten the surrounding ferocious beasts from the air.
Otherwise, this small mountain village composed of mortals would have been destroyed by the ferocious beasts long ago.
After hearing all this, Lin Lan had a rough understanding of the current situation.
In return for the village chief, he then asked the village chief to call a few middle-aged villagers to move the poisonous green corpse and the inner elixir to the village and gave them to the village free of charge.
This made the village elder burst into tears of gratitude, and sincerely told him that he could stay in the village for any length of time.
The village chief even enthusiastically sent the village hunters to the gate of Qingxiao Pavilion to ask for some healing elixirs from the Immortal Sect disciples to give to the comatose good man Richard.
Originally Lin Lan didn't want to do this.
After all, he knew very well that good Richard's coma was most likely not something that Nutland elixir could solve.
Moreover, according to the information he learned in Liaozhou, the extreme power of Natlan's extremers is deeply related to X.
He still doesn't want to have too deep contact with those so-called "immortals".
But the village chief, who was too old, was very stubborn and said that they must repay the benefactor who killed and poisoned a monster, otherwise they would be punished by God.
After Lin Lan tried to dissuade her to no avail, she had no choice but to give up.
To be precise, he actually wanted to see whether Natland's elixir was really as magical as in fantasy novels.
In just over half an hour, Lin Lan successfully hoisted several big fish on the pier near the village, causing the children to shout adoration for him.
"You actually still have time to fish. I thought you must be in a hurry to return to the port area."
At this time, the little sword spirit also yawned and emerged from the weapon core in his pocket, and said to him somewhat unexpectedly as he started to put away the fishing rod.
"There's no point in being anxious. This is the interior of Natland. Can I still fly back?"
Lin Lan asked the village boys to carry the fish baskets back to the village first, then sat on the small pier and looked at the endless mountains and dense forests on the other side of the stream with some melancholy.
He still remembered the voice ringing in his ears before he fell into coma.
There is no doubt that the owner of the childish voice who can speak those words is definitely Antix's host - Zero.
In the game, Zero did not have an actual voice, so it was the first time he heard Zero's voice.
It's exactly the same as TB.
When he woke up yesterday, he found that his mobile terminal had completely lost the signal. Except for checking the time, all functions were offline.
Naturally, this also includes calling navigator-TB.
So he turned off the mobile terminal and put it into the Sumeru Ring.
"The Judge Plan is terminated. As for those permissions..."
Lin Lan listened to the sound of the clear stream water lapping on the cobblestones, with a thoughtful expression on his face and whispered to himself.
The attitude shown by the observers and the three arbitrators who appeared in the port area towards him at Xinghai Base should be equivalent to officially joining his command.
And since the bad omen in good man Richard's body has been purified by him, the ship girls in his port area should be fine.
The only pity is that he hasn't had time to send out the Valentine's Day gifts he prepared for the ship girls.
As for the so-called Antiques authority that Zero told him in the end, he couldn't verify it now.
After all, this is not the beach. If he wants to see the siren, he may not be able to find it for a while.
“Let’s wait for the hunters in the village to go to the sect to get the elixir.
"Before they set off in the morning, I asked them to ask for a map of the surrounding area from Qingxiao Pavilion disciples as much as possible."
Lin Lan pondered for a moment and told the little sword spirit his next plan:
"If good Richard hasn't woken up by the time they come back, we will find a way to get to Dongzhou first."
"Dongzhou? If I remember correctly, your Xumijie can only command the kings of Beizhou and Xizhou?"
After hearing him say this destination, the little sword spirit asked him in a puzzled tone.
"Beizhou is too far away, and as for Xizhou, I don't really believe that the king of the state would see Xumijie and obey my orders for no reason."
Lin Lan stood up, patted the dust on his body, smiled at the little sword spirit and replied:
"So it's more reliable to go to Dongzhou first and join my 'fellows'."
Just as he finished telling the little sword spirit that he planned to go find Donghuang Ship Girl first, suddenly, he turned his head and looked at the continuous mountain forest upstream of the creek.
The little sword spirit was also a little surprised and looked in the same direction as him, and said in astonishment:
"This aura...is it evil?"
