08, Conversation in the carriage

After the danger was over, the coachman emerged from behind a nearby tree and stared at the road leaves with bright eyes.

"It really scared me to death. Thank you just now...otherwise my horse would be gone!"

"You're welcome," Luye said with a smile, "Can you please give me a ride?"

"No problem at all!"

The coachman's attitude towards Lu Ye changed completely.

Just now when the young girl was dealing with the dangerous species, he took the opportunity to hide.

Originally, he wanted to run away, but he was reluctant to part with his carriage, so he simply watched to see if the two men could defeat the dangerous species.

But I didn't expect that the person who killed the dangerous species in the end was not the two passengers in the car, but the young man he met on the way.

He didn't see clearly how Lu Ye took action. He only felt a flash in front of his eyes, and then the monster's head split open and blood splattered everywhere.

With such a powerful person in the car, you won't have to worry about encountering robbers and monsters on the road.

"But please wait a moment, the horses are frightened."

The driver smiled sarcastically while calming the frightened horses.

Lu Ye nodded, then went to the boy's side to observe his situation.

"You're not hurt?"

"Fortunately..." the boy raised the dagger in his hand, "it helped me block most of the impact, it's just a trauma."

"Really, that's good."

After a while, the coachman calmed the horses and everyone entered the carriage.

The driver raised the reins and the carriage set off again.

The interior space of the wooden carriage is not too small. There are horizontal boards on both sides as chairs, which is more than enough for four people.

Lu Ye and Violet sat on the left side, while the boy and girl sat on the other side.

"Um...my name is Iyeas, and next to me is my companion named Sayu." The young man chatted.

"Hello." The archer girl nodded shyly.

"My name is Lu Ye."

"I'm Violet."

Both sides reported each other's names.

"Thank you so much for just now... The strength of that dangerous species should be around level one, and there is no way Shayu and I can compete with it." Yiyeas's expression was frightened, "If it weren't for you, the two of us would have been very fierce.

Too much luck."

Sha You's expression was also a little embarrassed.

I originally thought I could seize the opportunity to kill the dangerous species instantly, but I didn't expect that I was tricked by that monster.

If it hadn't been for Lu Ye, she would have become minced meat in the belly of a dangerous species.

"It's nothing. In fact, your strength is also very good, but you just don't have a good weapon."

This was not a compliment. Luye, who had worked in the iron industry, could see that Iyeas's basic skills were very solid. If the first few chops had been replaced by a sharp sword, the dangerous creature would have been seriously injured long ago.

Shayou's bow and arrows are also very crude, and they are obviously improvised.

It's really rare to be able to achieve that kind of accuracy with this kind of makeshift bow.

After hearing Lu Ye's words, both of them looked away embarrassedly.

"Well...we originally had weapons, but we were just deceived."

"Cheated?"

After Iyeas briefly described it, Lu Ye probably knew what happened.

To put it simply, the two people in front of them met a robber when they were looking for an inn. Under his flattering words, they followed the robber's camp, and their money and weapons were confiscated. Although they escaped after a fight,

But all he had left was some coins and an ordinary dagger he brought from the camp.

Not only that, they seemed to have gotten separated from a companion.

Originally, three of them came out of the village together, but now there are only two of them left.

Ayeas sighed greatly.

"Those weapons were carefully prepared by the blacksmith uncle for a long time, and they are just gone."

Sha You's expression was also very disappointed: "The money was given to us by everyone in the village as a means of transportation on the road..."

"But speaking of which, why did you leave the village and go to the imperial capital?" Violet asked the question at this time.

In her opinion, staying at home is a good thing, with a soft bed and all kinds of delicious food.

"Because the Imperial City is prosperous." Sha You suddenly became energetic, "As long as you make money there, you can save the village!"

"Save the village...?"

Violet tilted her head, her golden hair hanging down on her fair neck.

That simple and beautiful appearance made Sha You feel a little ashamed of herself.

"No, that's right. The village has become poorer and poorer over the years. The harvest of crops is small and taxes are high. If this continues, everyone will not be able to survive. But as long as we have money, it will be different. With money, we can make people happy.

Everyone in the village lives a happy life, so we are going to the imperial capital. I heard that it is prosperous there, and the emperor of this country lives there!"

"That's it, but how do you plan to make money?"

Lu Ye asked curiously.

He could see that both Iyeas and Sayu were very innocent, otherwise they would not be easily deceived by the robbers.

For now, the only notable thing about these two people is their martial arts skills honed in the border villages.

In response to Luye's question, Iyeas gave an answer.

"If you want to make money, you have to stand out. If you look at it this way, the natural choice is to join the army!"

"join the army……"

"Yes, join the army. As long as you make meritorious deeds, you can quickly be promoted in the army and receive a hefty bounty."

That's it, Lu Ye nodded.

Although their personalities are a little simpler, with their martial arts skills, they should have no problem working as minor officials in the army.

"Huh, forget it!"

At this moment, the driver in front spoke.

"It's not that I'm attacking you. The Imperial Capital is a more dangerous place than any other dangerous species. Even if you are highly skilled in martial arts, it's almost impossible to get promoted if you don't have connections in the army." The coachman said disdainfully, "That's not where the brains are.

A place where simple country people can stay!"

"It doesn't matter, Sayu and I will definitely make great achievements in battle!" Iyeas said confidently, "But give me a weapon of decent quality, and I can defeat even the first-level dangerous species!"

"That's right, we heard from people in the village who came back from the imperial capital that this is something that ordinary soldiers can never do!" Sha You was also very confident.

"As you wish."

Seeing that the advice was useless, the driver didn't say anything more.

But the coachman's words aroused Lu Ye's interest.

He got out of the carriage and asked: "Um... may I ask, why did you say that the Imperial Capital is dangerous?"

"It's human... The human heart is much scarier than the dangerous species. The Imperial Capital is full of guys who eat people without spitting out their bones!" The coachman said with a sigh, "I have been a coachman for more than ten years, and I come from the Imperial Capital regularly.
