The money bag looked bulging, but in fact it only contained dozens of black iron coins and seven or eight orichalcum coins.
When Chen Xuan bought the horse just now, it seemed that he took the money out of his purse, but in fact he took it out of the storage compartment.
I just didn't expect that after wasting such a short time, I would be targeted by a mouse.
It is different from the good public security and environment in various shops.
The situation outside the shopping mall is more chaotic.
There is a mixture of good and bad people here, including organized thieves and squatting looters.
From the moment the warning signs rose in his heart, Chen Xuan was ready.
But I didn’t expect that there would be enthusiastic people at the scene.
He actually took the initiative to give him a hint.
I saw that figure quickly blending into the crowd, but was soon stopped by a strong man like an iron tower.
This strong man wore leather armor, revealing his muscular arms.
His arms are thicker than the average person's head.
Such guys often have more powerful power at the same level of magic cultivation.
Chen Xuan has not taken action yet.
Not far away, the thief Mouse who was blocked had already had friction with the strong man.
"Mind your own business!"
The thief was an ordinary-looking guy.
Such people simply have no sense of presence among the crowd.
When he saw that his way forward was blocked, his face suddenly became stern.
He took out the rune dagger from his waist with his backhand and made a gesture to pounce on him.
In fact, this is just a feint. As long as the strong man has the slightest intention to dodge, he can take advantage of the situation and use magic skills to run away from the side.
But in fact, the strong man refused to avoid it. With a flick of his wrist, he took out a slender chain and swung it towards him.
This was unexpected by the thief.
The chain is soft and tough, like a long winding snake.
He directly wrapped his arms around this guy's waist.
Then the strong man gently pulled him and threw him up.
Chen Xuan stood there and looked at it in wonder.
I almost forgot that I was the "sufferer".
This caused him to delay for a moment before rushing over.
By this time, the strong man had already subdued the thief on the spot.
The chains he threw out were very agile.
And the strength cannot be underestimated.
This thief with silver-level magic power had no power to fight back when facing him, and was almost captured in just one encounter.
The strong man took out Chen Xuan's money bag from this guy's arms.
He threw it to Mr. Chen who was walking towards him.
"Take it, stranger."
"Don't be so careless next time."
He warned seriously.
"Thank you."
Chen Xuan thanked him seriously.
This comes from the heart.
This strong man is indeed a warm-hearted and kind man.
Nodding, he raised his hand and handed the thief over to the hurried patrol, and then walked towards Chen Xuan.
He looked at the horse not far away.
The strong man asked curiously.
"First time coming to Black Leaf Sentinel Point?"
Chen Xuan smiled and answered casually.
"That's right."
"Ready to go back."
But the strong man showed a more interested look on his face.
"Where are you from?"
"Do you need to travel together?"
"I can protect you!"
As he spoke, the strong man bent his arms and showed off his amazing muscle dimensions.
The size of this guy makes one wonder whether he has furbolg blood in his body.
However, 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 strong man showed a hint of embarrassment.
After looking around, he whispered.
"It doesn't matter, as long as you can leave the outpost, you can go anywhere."
"It's best to embark on a magnificent adventure!"
When the strong man mentioned adventure, his expression was a bit fanatical.
He doesn't look like a mature man, but more like a middle school boy.
Moreover, 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.
[Nunnally Harold, the daughter of Blackleaf Outpost Commander Gideon Hadro, loves adventure, but suffers from the lack of opportunities to leave the outpost]
[A dozen Naloa days ago, she left the outpost from a group of The goblin merchant who came by airship bought a special magical object that possessed high-level transformation skills, so Nunnally had the idea of running away from home secretly] [After many days of preparation
, She thought the time was ripe, so she slipped out of the commander's residence and fortress three hours ago while taking a lady's etiquette class]
...
Chen Xuan was silent.
"Nunally Hadrow?"
he repeated in his mind.
It was still difficult to combine this feminine name with the man in front of him who looked like a violent bear.
But [Insight] doesn’t lie.
It seems that the high-level magical item purchased from the goblins by the commander's daughter named Nunnally Hadrow is indeed somewhat famous.
This kind of camouflage and shape-shifting effect is superb.
At least Chen Xuan couldn't see anything strange.
So he remained silent because he didn't know what to say yet.
Seeing that Chen Xuan remained silent, Nunnally, who transformed into a strong man, shook his shoulders.
"Good brother, what's wrong with you?"
Although it was difficult to accept the reality, he faced her urging.
Chen Xuan asked one more question.
"Are you sure you want to follow me?"
"But I come from a very boring place."
He emphasized again.
The young commander in front of me, who had dreams of adventure and longed to run away from home, seemed to have made up her mind.
Her muscular face is covered with facial hair.
At this time, he nodded impatiently.
"Of course, the decision is yours."
"What a great opportunity."
"You are so weak that you have a free bodyguard."
She tried her best to persuade.
Chen Xuan's thoughts swirled in his heart.
In fact, he really didn't know how to solve this situation.
If the Nunnally in front of her was turned to the commander of the Black Leaf Sentinel Point, there would be a high probability that she would be able to gain his friendship.
But if Nunnally was kidnapped...
he suddenly thought of another possibility.
Maybe this can become a trump card that can control Heiye's sentry point at critical moments.
Thinking of this, he nodded with a slightly reluctant expression.
"Okay then."
"Let's go out of the city together."
After he said that, there was a look of anticipation in the strong man's eyes.
"Great, this is a wise decision."
"My name is Nally Rod."
"What about you?"
She made up a name at random and took the initiative to introduce herself.
"Xuan Chen."
Chen Xuan said casually.
But I saw that she thought about it seriously.
"Hmm..."
"Weird name."
"Are you from the eastern border country of the continent?"
"People from the Kingdom of Duroa have deeper cheekbones." "
And your facial features are similar to those of the Orientals in the album Somewhat similar." Chen Xuan did not give a positive answer to this question.
Strictly speaking, he is indeed an Oriental.
But they are not the Orientals of Naroa.
But the Orientals from Blue Star.
But Nunnally Hadrow certainly couldn't understand that.
So there is no need to explain anything.
It's a nonsense topic to begin with, and the more you talk about it, the easier it is to go off the rails.
"By the way, have you ever seen a rotclaw beast?"
"It is said that they like to hibernate under the swamp and bite off the dicks of animals that come to the swamp to drink water."
Nunnally thought that her disguise was perfect.
Therefore, there are no taboos in speaking.
How can a lady talk about such a vulgar word as dick?
Facing her rant, Chen Xuan casually prevaricated a few words with a lukewarm attitude.
Where has he seen any Rot Claw Beast?
There are many kinds of magical beasts in the Naroa continent, and their limelight has been stolen by the monsters.
However, in order not to disappoint Nunnally, he still made a rather serious listening gesture.
The exchanges between the two parties along the way further proved that [Insight]’s observation results were correct.
The guy in front of me is definitely Nunnally Hadrow's disguise as a foot-picking man.
Chen Xuan held the reins of the horse and walked forward.
Nunnally pretended to be a strong man and followed him, her face full of expectation and curiosity, which was a longing for the outside world.
The two sides chatted casually.
It's hard to imagine why such a pampered canary would be so curious about the world outside the sentry point.
The thief mouse just now seemed to be a passing thing, and neither of them mentioned it again.
After arriving at the checkpoint at the sentry point.
The two passed the inspection without incident.
Chen Xuan was obviously relieved when he saw Nunnally, and his expression became more relaxed and comfortable.
Just like seeing a bird in the blue sky, it is the desire and longing to fly freely.
As long as you leave the checkpoint for more than ten kilometers, you are initially out of the defense zone of the Black Leaf Sentinel Point.
Chen Xuan was minding his own business riding this valley horse.
There is no thought of pity or pity at all.
Although he had a glimpse of the true identity of the burly man behind him.
But at this time, you have to pretend that nothing happened.
Just think of her as a burly guy.
Therefore, Chen Xuan rode the horse, and Nunnally could only walk behind.
He would turn around and say a few words from time to time.
This made the two of them look not like fellow travelers, but like a noble master and a stupid follower.
Nunnally Hadrow wasn't surprised at all.
Her eyes looked at everything outside with an almost greedy look.
They passed through the outer positions composed of several defensive towers, and finally walked out of the garrison range of the Black Leaf Post and set foot on a straight road to the west of the Post.
"You are so strong, do you have the blood of a highland barbarian or a furbolg?"
After walking out of the sentinel range, Chen Xuan saw that the time was right and began to try to actively lead the topic.
Nunnally was always a little uncomfortable when it came to issues like body shape and bloodline.
The reason why she looks like a tough guy is entirely due to her personal curiosity and defensiveness.
A big man who picks his feet is not easy to attract attention, and he has a deterrent effect.
But she ignored 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 over 1.9 meters and thick arms, but his behavior is childish.
It's easy to reveal the truth with just a little communication.
And Nunnally is obviously a bit broken.
She didn't dare pass through the checkpoint rashly.
So I was ready to take someone with me as a cover.
Chen Xuan happens to be the "lucky guy".
This question made Nunnally hesitate for a moment before she came up with an answer.
"No... I don't have the blood of highland barbarians or furbolgs."
"In fact, I am a human with pure blood."
Her explanation brought a smile to Chen Xuan's face.
For Nunnally, who was born into a noble family and valued her bloodline, it was naturally impossible for her to admit that she had foreign blood.
"Tsk, then you are really strong."
He sighed with emotion, like a compliment, but more like a tease.
This made Nunnally notice something.
He suddenly asked curiously.
"Isn't it good to be strong?"
Chen Xuan turned his head and glanced at her before explaining casually.
"Being too strong will make you more conspicuous."
"If you are on the battlefield, you will easily become a target." "
When you stand among the crowd, you are no less than a beacon in the dark. You can be seen at a glance."
Hearing his words, Nunnally looked thoughtful.
"I see..."
"You really can't listen too much to the advice in the book!"
She whispered with her lips pursed.
Chen Xuan stared at her with interest.
"What are you talking about?"
"In the book?"
The magic element practitioners have enhanced their senses, so they can naturally hear her murmur.
So Chen Xuan didn't hide anything.
"Oh... nothing."
"By the way, where are we going?"
Nunnally finally got over the excitement of leaving the sentry point.
Suddenly I remembered the most important issue at the moment.
"Go to the west, Magtan City."
Chen Xuan did not intend to hide it, and answered readily.
"Magtan City."
Nunnally repeated, and then asked again.
"Didn't there just experience a demonic disaster there?"
Magatan City's encounter with a demonic disaster is not a secret to the surrounding area.
Therefore, it is not surprising that Nunnally would know this information.
"Yes, there was indeed a demonic disaster there."
"But it has passed safely now."
"To be honest, I am an adventurer."
"An interesting ancient ruins were discovered near Magtan City. So I plan to go and investigate."
"Then are you still willing to follow me?"
Chen Xuan chose to go straight to the point and agreed.
Nunnally was startled when she heard that he called himself an adventurer.
Involuntarily, he slowed down until he came to a complete stop.
"Adventurer?"
"You?"
"But you are so weak that even a thief and a mouse can't detect it."
She had deep doubts.
This is another cognitive bias caused by preconceptions.
At this time, the two of them were already twenty or thirty kilometers away from the sentry point.
Chen Xuan reined in his horse and stopped, raising his right hand.
The next moment, a layer of gold-level magic erupted from 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 come with me now."
After saying that, he turned the horse's head and walked towards the hidden grove next to it.
Nunnally hesitated for a moment, but chose to follow.
