In the end, Guo Shier still managed to learn the language of the natives. For a top-level Professional, if they sincerely wanted to learn a language, they only needed to touch the other person's soul. Of course, the prerequisite was that the other person was not a Soul Professional. Originally, Guo Shier had not wanted to learn this language, but he had been touched by the old man and the child, so he could not help but touch the old man's soul.
When Guo Shier spoke the other person's language awkwardly, the old man was shocked. The little girl looked at Guo Shier curiously. She did not understand. She had thought that Guo Shier was a foreigner, and had not expected him to speak the local language.
The old man's name was Dita. This was what Guo Shier had translated based on pronunciation. The little girl's name was Aiyana. Guo Shier knew very well that this grandfather-granddaughter pair were just passers-by on his journey. After he left, they would not be able to meet again. After a simple exchange, he knew that this was the border of a country. As for what country it was, he could not be bothered to find out.
What Guo Shier wanted to know was where the nearest city was. Old Dita said, "Modo City. It's the biggest border city in our area."
From Old Dita, he found out that this country was very peaceful. There had been no wars for hundreds of years. Because of the good geographical environment and the rich resources, there were no threats from enemies. The armed forces of this country were relatively weak, and the people did not like fighting. The status of warriors in this country was very average.
To Guo Shier, this was like a fantasy. After experiencing so many small worlds and living in the world of charms for so long, power was everything. This concept was already ingrained in his bones. Suddenly coming to a country that looked down on the existence of power, he felt very surprised and strange. What kind of environment could such a country exist?
After the shock, Guo Shier felt a sense of joy. This peaceful country would allow him to fight less, and he would not have to be so tense all day. He could not help but want to talk to A Handsome Old Man.
"A Handsome Old Man, there's no need to fight here, hehe."
A Handsome Old Man said, "Not necessarily. Just because warriors are not strong or their status is not high doesn't mean they won't use power. It's just that in a situation where they are generally weak, slightly stronger power will meet the requirements. Of course, with your current methods, you don't need to care about their weak power."
Old Dita said, "It'll take ten days to get to Modo City. It's very far …"
Old Dita said, "It'll take ten days to get to Modo City, and it's very far …"
Old Man Dita smiled and patted Yana's little head. "After a while, your parents will come to fetch you. They're very busy … and won't come for now."
Aiyana looked disappointed. She lowered her head and fiddled with her fur coat.
Guo Shier asked, "Are Yana's parents in Modo City?"
Old Dita laughed bitterly. "Yes, they're in Modo City." Saying this, he secretly gave Guo Shier a look, indicating that he should not ask any more questions.
Guo Shier nodded slightly. He knew that there had to be some secrets, so he said, "I'll leave tomorrow. Sorry to disturb you today."
In the evening, Old Dita quietly found Guo Shier, who was taking a walk outside, and said, "Mister Guo, there's something I want to discuss with you."
Guo Shier said, "Please speak."
Old Dita said, "I want to take Yana to Modo City. If it's convenient, I'd like to go with you."
Guo Shier hesitated. He wanted to go to Modo City. If he flew, it would take at most half a day, but if he went with the old man, it would take more than ten days. He asked, "To Modo City? How did you go to Modo City in the past? "
Old Dita said, "We used to go together, but recently, no one has gone to Modo City, and along the way … well, it's not safe. We often meet wild beasts, especially wild wolves, and it's very troublesome. If there's someone to take care of us, it'll be much better." His eyes were filled with pleading.
Guo Shier suddenly felt his heart soften. He asked, "You're taking Yana to … to find her parents?"
Old Dita sighed. "I'm old. What if I can't make it one day, and Yana is still a child, sigh …"
Guo Shier asked curiously, "Won't her parents come?"
Old Dita laughed bitterly. "Yana is a girl …" In this country, women had no status, and the ones who were valued in the family were the boys. Yana was almost a child who had been abandoned by her parents. If the old man did not take her to find her parents, she would not have a chance to leave this small village.
Guo Shier did not understand at all. He asked, "What's wrong with a girl?"
Old Dita sighed. "Sigh, a girl …" He shook his head, not knowing how to explain it to Guo Shier. At the same time, he was certain that this young man was not a local, as he did not understand the local customs and feelings. But for some reason, he still trusted the other party, and did not have any doubts or animosity towards Guo Shier.
Guo Shier did not ask further. He was just a little curious, but seeing the other party's indescribable expression, he did not continue probing. He thought for a moment, then said, "Fine, I'm going to Modo City anyway, so let's go together."
A Handsome Old Man whispered, "Looking for something to do … bringing an old and a child with you, you'll be in for a lot of trouble."
Guo Shier said, "Anyway, we have half a year or even a year's time. Let's play slowly. Maybe we can really enter the big world this time. When that time comes, everything in the small world will be memories. Hehe, being able to leave behind something worth remembering is also meaningful to me."
A Handsome Old Man said disdainfully, "Bullsh * t …"
…
The next day, Old Dita brought a donkey over. Guo Shier could not help but wonder why there was a donkey in this place. Old Dita said, "We need an animal. We won't be able to carry the food we need for more than ten days without an animal. There are no food stalls or hotels along the way, so we'll have to settle everything ourselves. "
Guo Shier said, "We don't need to bring too much, I can hunt along the way."
Old Dita still packed quite a lot of cured meat and millet. The staple food here was millet or sorghum. There was not much, but there were still two bags, which were all placed on the donkey. Old Dita carried Ai Yana and put her on the donkey's back, saying, "Let's go, we have a long way to go today." He led the donkey out.
Ai Yana was very happy. She held the candied plums that Guo Shier had given her and ate them with relish. Because she had lived with Old Dita for a long time, she had developed a habit of not speaking much, so she rarely spoke, only showing a cute smile from time to time.
Guo Shier really liked this quiet little girl, and would occasionally give her some snacks, such as candied plums, fruits, and specially made dried meat. He was also a foodie, and the altar could store large amounts of resources, so he had all kinds of snacks. Ai Yana beamed with joy. She had never seen such a variety of snacks in her life.
Walking along the small path out of the village, there were scattered farms all around. After walking for a while, a sparse forest appeared. There was a lot of uncultivated land here, and land was the least valuable. After walking for half a day, the three of them reached the main road.
The journey was very peaceful. The three of them chatted and laughed, and very smoothly arrived at Modo City. This surprised Guo Shier. This place was indeed different from what he had imagined. Not only were there no bandits, there were also very few wild beasts. No wonder Old Dita dared to bring his granddaughter to Modo City for more than ten days.
It was rare for Guo Shier to enjoy a peaceful journey. There were no fights, no danger, and only laughter along the way. This gradually calmed his restless emotions. At that moment, even his soul had been upgraded. A Handsome Old Man couldn't help but sigh. If they were still in the Talisman World, he would have been able to help build a structure that surpassed the nine levels of the altar. But in this other world, this had become an extravagant hope.
Modo City was a bit like the ancient cities in Guo Shier's previous world. The buildings here, other than the lack of city walls, were all very unique brick houses. There were all kinds of water channels and all kinds of stone bridges that led in all directions. On the streets along the river, there were a few rich people wearing silk, but most people were wearing linen and all kinds of fur coats.
This place was the same as the Talisman World. There were no technological items here. Guo Shier had a feeling that time and space had changed. It was as if he had returned to Earth, to the ancient times of Earth. He had a strange feeling.
There were no patrolling soldiers in Modo City, and there seemed to be no army soldiers either. The streets were filled with people, but it seemed very peaceful. However, everyone who saw Guo Shier revealed a trace of surprise in their eyes. Because his clothes were too gorgeous, someone came up to strike up a conversation not long after he entered the city.
A young man wearing a silk gown stood by the side of the road. Behind him, a person who looked like an attendant quickly blocked Guo Shier's path and said with a smile, "Sir, please wait."
Guo Shier calmly asked, "What's the matter?"
The person respectfully asked, "My young master wants to meet you. I wonder … if that's possible?"
Guo Shier was a little surprised, but his expression did not change. He nodded and said, "Sure, is your young master that person?" The attendant nodded repeatedly. Guo Shier said to Old Man Dita, "Dita, take Ayana to see her parents. En, where do you live? When I'm free, I'll go see you. "
Old Man Dita gave Guo Shier the address, then led the donkey and left with Ayana. Ever since they had arrived in Modo City, Old Man Dita had been very worried, so he did not care much about Guo Shier's departure. Leaving the address was just out of habit. He did not think that Guo Shier would go find him.
After watching Old Man Dita and Ayana leave, Guo Shier said to the attendant, "Go see your young master."
The so-called young master was just Guo Shier's translation. This person's clothes were more exquisite than most people walking on the streets, and his appearance was not bad. In Guo Shier's eyes, this person was a handsome young man. He was also very gentle and polite, leaving a good impression on Guo Shier. Because he had experienced many small worlds, people who were friendly to him were as rare as phoenix feathers and unicorn horns. It was rare to see a friendly person, so Guo Shier's mood improved. No one wanted to be treated with hostility for no reason.
