Juliana’s workshop Chapter 34: Bard

　　On the smoky avenue, there is a huge monster that attracts attention. Whether traveling alone or in groups of travelers, or merchants with long convoys, or riders on horses, they all pay attention to the existence on the road. People who saw that thing were thinking in their hearts, is it a carriage or something else?

　　This road paved with stones, if you go south, you can reach the King’s Fort, the largest city at the east end of Oland. To the east is the vast dark sea, to the north is the southern part of the Forest of the Dead, and to the west is the endless plains. , But the end of the plain is a mountainous area that is difficult to navigate.

　　 This road can also be regarded as crowded. There are convoys moving slowly, some travellers walking on the side, and the horses of riders are rolling up waves of smoke. Occasionally, I don’t know if it is lucky or unlucky. It was because I could see the knights of the Crescent Empire riding high horses passing by-this is already the territory of the Crescent Empire, and it is not uncommon for Crescent Knights to appear. These knights who don’t see their faces in full body armor only allow others to see their shiny gray-black armor and the sharp horns on their helmets. That horn is like a small spire, which makes the Crescent Knight look special. No one would mistake the Knights of the Crescent Moon for other knights. The style of the Knights of the Crescent Moon seemed to the knights of Oland as a heresy—just like the Luna religion they believed in.

　　 For those traveling from King’s Castle, seeing the Crescent Knights is by no means a lucky thing, nor is it a great experience. Not because these knights will make things difficult, but because of their silence.

　　 Now, on this road, there is a more eye-catching existence than the Crescent Knight. This carriage is like a small fortress. It is by no means a thing that can be seen everywhere. It appears on the road and takes up the entire road. If there is a convoy facing it, it will take some time to spare. The place allows each other to pass. If there is a traveler who is better and the carriage is moving in the same direction, there will be a chance to see the carriage shifting the road to let the convoy pass by.

　　 Bard Xue Lun has been paying attention to this conspicuous existence for a long time. This is something he has never seen during his travels. He has seen the tide of monsters in the northern grassland from far away, and he has also seen flying dragons flying in the sky. The picture…he has seen a lot of strange things, and this carriage can be regarded as one of the wonders he has seen. When, although it sounds very interesting, in fact, many of these spectacles, Xue said, they are just hearsay, and he is not the only one who saw the flying dragon; as for the so-called wave of monsters, although he experienced it personally, It was just hiding inside the city wall, listening to the howling of the beasts outside the city, shaking with the people in the refuge.

　　 But as a bard, you can’t tell the listeners about these boring things. The audience wants to hear something romantic and glamorous. It’s better to have stories of knights and princesses, not stories about how powerful the villains are and force humans to hide in a pile of rocks. real story.

　　 He is in his thirties and he has left the Poet Academy for more than ten years. He knows what stories people like to hear, even if those stories are not true and are made up by him. Of course, the things told in the story may not be false, but most of the time Xue Lun is a witness is false-this is something smart people will understand, and they can always cooperate with Xue Theory, so that he can finish the story beautifully.

　　 Now, Xue Lun feels that some new things can be added to his story material. A huge carriage has a peculiar, fort-like shape. Strange smoke will occasionally emerge from the top of the carriage shed. It is like a small house with a chimney, moving slowly on the main road. Looking at the horse makes people feel pitiful—what an interesting picture this is. As long as the person who has witnessed all this, they can’t help but pay attention to this strange carriage, and their eyes will always stay on it.

　　 This is not the most interesting thing Xue Lun has ever seen, but it definitely ranks among the top ones.

　　 Therefore, he has been following this strange carriage for quite a few days, and has also found the opportunity to meet the owner and the children of this carriage.

　　 The man who drove the carriage was a middle-aged man named Pasta, with a big beard, and his hair looked like he hadn’t been taken care of, but it was tied into a tail. It looked like Xue Lun had seen it. The same as foreigners. But Xue Lun was not blind enough to recognize a man from west of Oran as a foreigner from the far east. As a bard, if you didn’t even have this vision, it would be a failure. A failed bard will not be popular and will not live long.

　　 Xue Lun and Pasta are half-familiar, and the relationship is not very good, but it is still possible to take Xue Lun to the south along the way.

　　 Xue Lun sat beside Pasta. The driver’s seat was very spacious compared to an ordinary carriage. Let alone two people, even three people would not feel crowded. This is probably the most comfortable carriage Xue Lun has ever rode in. It is very stable, and even on the occasional road with potholes, it can pass without much bumps.

　　 Xue Lun played the harp in his arms, and the strings made a clear sound, not a tune, but the syllables were already pleasing enough. “So, there are not too many waves on your way from the north.”

　　 “You have asked many times, Xue Lun.” Pasta sighed, with a wry smile on his face, “We came from the sea road in the sea of ​​darkness, passing by the sight of flying dragons. The mountains disembarked at the port at the southern edge of the Forest of the Dead, and the waves were calm along the way. If there is anything thrilling, the storms and rains brought by the summer just past are really shocking.”

　　”It’s a safe route.” Xue Lun said, “but there are also a lot of talks and possibilities.”

　　 “Safety is more important than anything.” Pasta replied, “Life is more important than thrills.”

　　 is indeed such a truth, Xue Lun agreed. Pasta is different from himself. He is not a bard who pursues adventure and excitement. He is a businessman and a businessman with two children. For him, safety is more important than anything else.

　　In the carriage, someone poked their heads out and squeezed between Xue Lun and Pasta, “Uncle, Mr. Xue Lun, what are you talking about?”

　　 This is a girl who is still a little immature. She has bright eyes, and she always has a smile on her face. She looks simple and looks like a child from the village. For Xue Lun, he had seen a lot of beautiful women—although most of them were only viewed from a distance—there was nothing amazing about this girl for him. But her smile can make people feel happy ~ IndoMTL.com~ This made Xue Lun impressed her deeply.

　　 “Lulunaka, your journey seems a bit too plain.” Xue Lun said to Lulunaka, “For a bard like me, this is a situation where you can lose your job.”

　　 “Is this boring?” Lulunaka had a nervous and embarrassed expression on her face, “But the sea is beautiful. I have never seen so much water before, and I can’t even see the land. .”

　　 This rather childlike speech made Xue Lun and Pasta laugh, making Lulunaka even more embarrassed, blushing and returning to the carriage, seemingly embarrassed and angry.

　　 “She is such a lovely girl.” Xue Lun smiled at Pasta. Xue Lun can understand Lulu Naka’s excited psychology when it comes to the sea. When he first went out and saw the sea for the first time, he was no different from Lulunaka.

　　 Pasta just smiled at Xue Lun’s words, and didn’t go on with the words, “So the safety of the children is more important than anything else. After all, I’m not walking this far alone. If something happens, It’s fine for me to suffer. If I let the children suffer with me, it’s not good.”

　　 “She’s still a smart girl, isn’t she?” Xue Lun laughed.

　　 Pasta nodded, “Yes, to me, she is a cute and smart little niece… and it is an important guarantee that I can do business.”

　　 In fact, Xue Lun was also very interested in Lulu Naka. A child of this size turned out to be an alchemist with superb skills, and he belonged to this strange carriage called the whimsy. Producer-This is the most interesting story material Xue Lun can obtain recently. A young girl alchemist is more attractive than those bad-tempered old men and arrogant academics.
