Chapter 280 Nanali's Adventure Dream [Subscribe]
The purse looked bulging, but in fact, there were only dozens of black iron coins and seven or eight mountain copper coins.
When Chen Xuan bought the horse just now, it seemed that he took money out of the purse, but in fact, he took it out of the storage compartment.
But he didn't expect that he would be targeted by the rat after wasting such a short time.
Unlike the good security and environment in the shops.
The situation outside the shops is more chaotic.
There are all kinds of people here, including organized thieves and looters.
From the moment the warning signal rose in his heart, Chen Xuan was ready.
But he didn't expect that there were enthusiastic people at the scene.
He actually took the initiative to give him a hint.
Seeing that figure quickly mixed into the crowd, he was soon stopped by a strong man like an iron tower.
The strong man was wearing leather armor, revealing his muscular arms.
His arms were thicker than the head of an average person.
Such guys often have stronger power in the same level of magic element cultivation.
Chen Xuan has not taken any action here.
Not far away, the thief Mouse, whose way was blocked, had already had a friction with the strong man.
"Mind your own business!"
The thief was a plain-looking guy.
Such a person would have no sense of existence in the crowd.
Seeing that his way was blocked, he immediately showed a fierce look.
He drew out the rune short knife from his waist with his backhand and pretended to pounce on him.
In fact, this was just a feint. As long as the strong man had the intention to dodge, he could take advantage of the situation and use magic skills to run away from the side.
But in fact, the strong man did not dodge at all. With a flick of his wrist, he took out a thin chain and swung it towards him.
This caught the thief off guard.
The chain was soft and tough, like a winding long snake.
It directly wrapped around the guy's waist.
Then the strong man gently pulled and threw him up.
Chen Xuan stood there and looked at it in amazement.
He almost forgot that he was the "victim".
This caused him to delay for a moment before rushing over.
At this time, the strong man had subdued the thief on the spot.
The chain he swung was very agile.
And his strength should not be underestimated.
This thief with silver-level magic element cultivation had no power to fight back when facing him, and was almost caught in just one encounter.
The strong man took Chen Xuan's purse from the guy's arms.
He threw it to Chen who was walking towards him.
"Take it, foreigner."
"Don't be so careless next time."
He warned seriously.
"Thank you."
Chen Xuan thanked him very seriously.
This was from the heart.
The strong man was indeed a warm-hearted and kind person.
Nodding, he raised his hand and handed the thief to the patrol army who hurried over, and then walked towards Chen Xuan.
Looking at the horse not far away.
The strong man asked curiously.
"First time at the Black Leaf Outpost?"
Chen Xuan smiled and answered casually.
"I guess so."
"Let's go back."
The sturdy man showed a more interested look on his face.
"Where are you from?"
"Do you need a companion?"
"I can protect you!"
As he spoke, the sturdy man bent his arms and showed off his amazing muscle dimensions.
The size of this guy makes people wonder if he has the blood of a bear monster in his body.
But his request made Chen Xuan feel a little strange.
"You don't even know where I'm going."
"Can we go together?"
Chen Xuan asked curiously.
The sturdy man showed a bit of embarrassment.
After looking around, he whispered.
"It doesn't matter, as long as we can leave the sentinel, we can go anywhere."
"It's best to embark on a magnificent adventure!"
When the sturdy man mentioned adventure, his expression was a bit fanatical.
He didn't look like a mature iron tower man, but more like a middle school boy.
And the other party's answer also aroused Chen Xuan's curiosity.
He nodded slightly, but actually activated [Insight].
The golden subtitles appeared, and the expression on his face suddenly became wonderful.
[Nunali Harold, daughter of Gideon Hadro, commander of the Black Leaf Outpost, loves adventure, but has no chance to leave the outpost]
[A dozen days ago in Naroa, she bought a special magic item from a group of goblin merchants who came by airship. This item has a high-level transformation, so Nunnali had the idea of running away from home secretly]
[After preparing for many days, she thought the time was right, so she slipped out of the commander's mansion fortress three water clock hours ago while taking a ladies' etiquette class]
...
Chen Xuan was silent.
"Nunali Hadro?"
He repeated it in his mind.
It is still difficult to combine this feminine name with the man in front of him who is like a violent bear.
But [Insight] will not lie.
It seems that the high-level magic item purchased by the commander's daughter named Nunnali Hadro from the goblins is indeed quite famous.
This camouflage effect is amazing.
At least Chen Xuan couldn't see anything unusual.
So he remained silent, because he didn't know what to say yet.
Seeing Chen Xuan didn't speak, Nanali, who turned into a strong man, shook his shoulder.
"Good brother, what's wrong with you?"
Although it was hard to accept the reality, facing her urging.
Chen Xuan still asked one more question.
"Are you sure you want to go with me?"
"But I come from a very boring place."
He emphasized again.
The commander's daughter who had an adventure dream and was eager to run away from home seemed to have made up her mind.
Her strong man's face was full of beards.
At this time, she nodded impatiently.
"Of course, it's decided to be you."
"What a good opportunity."
"You, who are so fragile, have a free bodyguard."
She tried her best to persuade.
Chen Xuan's thoughts turned in his mind.
In fact, he really didn't know how to solve this situation.
If he sent Nanali in front of him to the commander of the Black Leaf Outpost, he would probably be able to gain the other party's friendship.
But if Nanali was kidnapped...
He suddenly thought of another possibility.
Maybe this could be a trump card to control the Black Leaf Outpost at a critical moment.
Thinking of this, he nodded with a slightly reluctant expression.
"Okay then."
"Let's go out of the city together."
After he said this, the strong man's eyes showed a look of expectation.
"Great, this is a wise decision."
"My name is Nali Rhodes."
"What about you?"
She made up a name at random and took the initiative to introduce herself.
"Xuan Chen."
Chen Xuan made up a nonsense casually.
But she thought about it seriously.
"Hmm..."
"Weird name."
"Are you from the eastern border country of the continent?"
"People in the Kingdom of Duroya have deeper cheekbones."
"And your facial features are somewhat similar to those oriental people in the picture album."
Chen Xuan did not give a positive answer to this question.
Strictly speaking, he is indeed an oriental.
But he is not an oriental from the Naroa continent.
He is an oriental from Blue Star.
But Nanali Hadro will definitely not understand this.
So there is no need to explain anything.
It was originally a topic of nonsense, and the more it was talked about, the easier it would be to go off track.
"By the way, have you seen a rot claw beast?"
"It is said that they like to lie dormant under the mud and bite off the dicks of animals that come to the swamp to drink water."
Nanali thought her disguise was perfect.
So she had no taboos when she spoke.
How could a lady use such a vulgar word as dick on her lips?
Facing her chatter, Chen Xuan casually evaded her with a lukewarm attitude.
Where had he seen a rot claw beast?
There were many kinds of magical beasts on the Naroa continent, and their limelight was taken away by the monsters.
However, in order not to disappoint Nanali, he still made a very serious listening gesture.
The communication between the two sides along the way further proved that the observation results of [Insight] were correct.
The guy in front of him was definitely a big man who picked his feet in disguise by Nanali Hadro.
Chen Xuan walked forward holding the reins of the horse.
Nanali, disguised as a strong man, followed him, her face full of expectation and curiosity, that was a yearning for the outside world.
The two chatted casually.
It was hard to imagine why such a pampered canary would be so curious about the world outside the sentinel.
The thief mouse just now seemed to have become a passing cloud, and neither of them mentioned it again.
After arriving at the checkpoint.
The two passed the inspection without any danger.
Chen Xuan saw that Nanali was obviously relieved, and her expression became more relaxed.
It was like a bird seeing the blue sky, that was the desire and longing for free flight.
As long as you leave the checkpoint for more than ten kilometers, you will be considered to have initially left the defense area of the Black Leaf sentinel.
Chen Xuan rode the valley horse on his own.
He had no idea of sympathizing with women.
Although he had seen through the true identity of the burly man behind him.
But at this time, he had to pretend that nothing happened.
Just treat her as a big man who picked his feet.
Therefore, Chen Xuan rode on a horse, while Nanali could only walk behind.
He turned back and said a few words from time to time.
This made the two of them look not like fellow travelers, but rather like a noble lord and a stupid big follower.
Nanali Hadro was not surprised at all.
Her eyes looked at everything outside with almost greed.
They passed through the outer positions composed of several defense towers one after another, and finally walked out of the garrison range of the Black Leaf Outpost and stepped onto a straight road west of the outpost.
"You are so strong, do you have the blood of the Highland Barbarians or Bear Monsters?"
After walking out of the outpost, Chen Xuan saw that the time was ripe and began to try to actively guide the topic.
Talking about issues such as body shape and bloodline, Nanali was always a little uncomfortable.
The reason why she made herself look like a sturdy man was entirely because of her personal curiosity and defensiveness.
A big man who picks his feet is not easy to be remembered, and he has his own deterrent power.
But she overlooked one thing.
That is, if the appearance is too eye-catching and too contrasting, it is also easy to attract attention.
A strong man with a height of more than 1.9 meters and thick arms, but his style of behavior is childish.
It is easy to be exposed as long as there is a little communication.
And Nanali is obviously a bit desperate.
She didn't dare to pass the checkpoint rashly.
So she prepared to take someone with her as a cover.
Chen Xuan happened to be the "lucky guy".
This question made Nanali hesitate for a moment before she had an answer.
"No... I don't have the blood of the Highland Barbarians or Bear Monsters."
"In fact, I am a pure-blooded human."
Her explanation brought a smile to Chen Xuan's face.
For Nanali, who was born in an aristocratic family and paid attention to blood, it was naturally impossible for her to admit that she had foreign blood.
"Tsk, then you are really strong."
He sighed, like praise, but more like teasing.
This made Nanali realize something.
She immediately asked back with some curiosity.
"Isn't it good to be strong?"
Chen Xuan turned his head and looked at her first, and then explained casually.
"Being too strong will make you more eye-catching."
"If you are on the battlefield, it is easy to become a target of siege."
"You stand in the crowd, no less than a beacon in the dark night, you can be seen at a glance."
Hearing his words, Nanali showed a thoughtful expression.
"I see..."
"I really can't trust the advice in the book too much!"
She whispered with her lips trembling.
Chen Xuan stared at her with interest.
"What are you talking about?"
"In the book?"
All the magic element practitioners have enhanced their senses, so they can naturally hear her muttering.
So Chen Xuan didn't hide it.
"Oh... nothing."
"By the way, where are we going?"
Nanali finally got rid of the excitement of leaving the sentinel.
Suddenly remembered the most important issue at the moment.
"Go to the west, Magtan City."
Chen Xuan didn't intend to hide it, and answered very straightforwardly.
"Magtan City."
Nanali repeated, and then asked.
"Didn't they just experience a magic disaster there?"
It was no secret to the surrounding area that Magtan City had suffered a magic disaster.
So it was not surprising that Nanali knew about this.
"Yes, there was indeed a demonic disaster there."
"But it has now passed safely."
"To be honest, I am an adventurer."
"I found an interesting ancient ruin near Magtan City, so I plan to go there to investigate."
"Then are you still willing to follow me?"
Chen Xuan chose to get straight to the point and talk to him.
Nannali was stunned when she heard him claim to be an adventurer.
She couldn't help but slow down her pace until she stopped completely.
"Adventurer?"
"You?"
"But you are so fragile that even thieves and mice can't detect you."
She had a deep doubt.
This is another cognitive bias caused by preconceived ideas.
At this time, the two had been away from the sentinel for 20 to 30 kilometers.
Chen Xuan stopped his horse and raised his right hand.
The next moment, a layer of gold-level magic appeared on his arm.
"If you hadn't shouted too fast."
"He should have been taught a lesson by me."
"How about it, are you still willing to follow me?"
Chen Xuan continued to ask.
"Are you really an adventurer?"
"Of course!"
"Then I'm willing to follow you!"
After receiving a positive answer, Chen Xuan raised his lips.
"Very good, then follow me now."
As he said that, he turned his horse's head and walked towards the hidden grove next to him.
Nanali hesitated for a moment, but still chose to follow.
