Chapter 385 Beast Tamer - Past

The huge black shadow hovered over the heads of the two of them for a while, then flew higher and higher, and flew away towards the south...

"Alas... the result of disrespecting other lives is to bring blood and tears to one's relatives and compatriots..." The coachman's voice became deeper, and he looked at the bright sky for a while before turning around. , walked towards the direction of the carriage and the bonfire, and left a sentence: "Boy, that sword is good, you can take it."

The sword is very heavy, even with Mu Yuechen's body that has just been exercising for a while, it would take a lot of effort to use it.There was basically no possibility of wielding it with one hand, so Mu Yuechen could only drag the hilt and tip of the sword with both hands and dragged it back in a bit of embarrassment.

"I used to be...a beast tamer..." The coachman sat by the side of the bonfire, his face showing infinite vicissitudes, as if he was talking to himself, or telling a story, "I was 30 years ago, just now At the age of 17, I grew up in the mountains and forests, so I can understand those charming and dangerous little guys better than people of the same age."

Mu Yuechen didn't interrupt, and after putting the big sword aside, he also sat by the campfire.

"Once my 17th birthday is over, I'm considered an adult in our place. As a sign of adulthood, I must go out and travel for at least a year. After one year, whether I want to return to my hometown or continue to explore around, then It can depend on your mood at the time.

For a year, I traveled through one village after another, and found a group of fellows who were equally young and full of vigor in each adventure team.We did missions, we explored, and we escaped death several times; similarly, we also lost our companions during our travels and tasted the sorrow of life and death.But we still love adventure and excitement.

So, a year later, I still chose to stay outside and became a real animal tamer.

At the beginning, we used the most primitive way to communicate with those charming wild animals and intelligent monsters.Like us, they understand that only traveling can get better exercise, so some intelligent creatures agree with us to take their children, and when the children grow up, they will naturally find their way home..."

"Wait..." Hearing this, Mu Yuechen interrupted him in astonishment, "Didn't the animal tamers you mentioned simply mean catching small animals and selling them to rich people?!"

"Hehe, yes... the earliest animal tamers were not like this, but they gradually became like this after being expelled by interests." Although there was a smile on his face, that smile was full of bitterness and sadness , and regret, "In the earliest days, we followed the oldest and also the most traditional way, which was to introduce some little monsters who wanted to go out and travel to some people who needed monster partners. Then we charged some intermediary fees.

How long they want to cooperate with each other is their own business-but generally speaking, the life of Warcraft is longer than that of humans.

Of course, we will also do some business in the middle, such as: train small, unintelligent beasts and sell them to people who can't afford to take care of them.

Until later, the 'black-hearted beast tamers' who were once the most shameless became more and more rampant for the sake of profit.We traditional beast tamers were not ashamed to dance with them, and considered ourselves noble and selfless, until seven years later..."

As if recalling the most heart-wrenching scene, the coachman slowly closed his eyes, and his voice was deep and deep as if every word was caught in Mu Yuechen's heart: "I was already 25 years old that year, and we found a few dogs that we wanted. The little guy who traveled abroad went to Ambolena. Just as we were looking for adventurers who needed companions from monsters, I...saw a familiar little guy who made my heart ache...

It was a golden-haired Polbrea, two sizes bigger than a horse, with a coyote-like face.As a companion, people can ride on it, and they will use some strange thunder magic.

I recognized that little guy at a glance, it was one of the first batch of monsters introduced after I just became a beast tamer.I was very happy at the time, and ran over stupidly, wanting to say hello to it and its companions. After passing by, I realized that the person next to it was not the person I introduced at the beginning.What surprised me the most was... that little Polbrea named 'Boob' didn't seem to recognize me anymore!
Those monsters are different from us humans. We may not be able to recognize our former friends due to time, changes in appearance and other reasons.But they can remember the smell, the magic fluctuation of the human body and so on. As long as they encounter it once, they can remember us forever!
After I returned to the hotel, I thought more and more strangely. Finally, I simply ran out secretly, found those people and followed them to observe the situation. "

Speaking of this, the old coachman closed his eyes in pain: "Later, I would rather never leave my hometown... or go back as soon as possible after a year of experience... But I can't live it again... well."

"Is it the idiot drug you guys just said?" Without thinking too long, Mu Yuechen came to a conclusion. This kind of thing might be unimaginable in this relatively simple world, but the person she grew up with always In a world where there are intrigues everywhere, you can find similar situations with just a little attention...

He nodded deeply: "I found that Boob's situation is wrong. It can't speak, and even its movements don't look like the ones that are unique to the Polbrea family. It seems to have become dumb and stupid. I don't Willing, took advantage of the dark night to kidnap one of their companions, and only then did they know that they bought this Polbrea from a so-called animal trainer five years ago!

Those bastards!They bought Warcraft from us at a low price, and then gave the disobedient and hard-to-tame Warcraft the disgusting medicine, and then sold them to those idiots with a few broken money!

Only then did I realize that what I did during those seven years turned out to be such an idiotic act!I became an accomplice of those murderers! ! "

After the roar, the old driver took a few deep breaths, and then said relatively calmly: "In the 13 years before I came to the 'West Bank' where you are, I searched for every little guy I sold. Then send them back to their hometown one by one... When I went to their hometown and sent them back to their relatives, I begged them to spare my life first, and after I got all the other little things back, I'll give them an explanation.

But... you know what?Do you know what those monsters said to me? Crystal tears flowed from his cloudy eyes, and the old coachman took a deep breath before speaking again: "Their accidents are not your fault, you have already done what you promised..."

The night fell deeply around the two of them, Mu Yuechen didn't speak, neither did the coachman who was immersed in grief, after a long time——

"I know that no matter what I do or how I do it, I can't make up for my mistakes. I came to the West Coast because I was asked by an old friend from the past. After finishing this matter, I will make a settlement..."

"Boy, do you want to learn swordsmanship?"

Thursday, June 2013, 6.20 (Saturday, July 33251, 7)

"Hey, two lovely ladies, today is the Double Moon Festival!!" The driver who was driving the carriage waved his whip in mid-air and made a "crack, bang" sound with some excitement.

"It's Double Moon Festival! It's Double Moon Festival!" Little Keke was flying around in the carriage excitedly.

"Ke Ke, may I ask how long it will take for us to arrive in Orska City." Over the past few days, Wen Yu's heart has long been itching to hear the coachman discussing the bimonthly festival with little Ke Ke so lively—especially But she also heard that the busiest place for the Double Moon Festival is inside the city.

"There are still two days at most. Didn't the two ladies see that there are so many people traveling in carriages on the road?" It turned out that Wen Yu just couldn't speak their language, and there are actually a lot of people who can't speak the common language in this world.Seeing that Wen Yu was bringing little Keke with him again, he only thought that Wen Yu was a girl who had just come out from a small village for a tour.

What exactly is Bimonthly?Wen Yu looked out of the car window, the sky was still so bright blue that she could not see the shadow of Shuangyue at all. If Keke and the coachman had not kept mysterious, she would only think that the so-called Shuangyue was just two moons in the sky. What about the moonlight scene?But listening to their tone now doesn't sound like it at all!
Full of anticipation, Wen Yu and Mu Yuechen, who are also on their way to Orska City, are full of anticipation. What does this unique festival in this world look like?It seems that we really have to wait until night to find out.

The carriages gradually stopped, and the roadside was full of resting people.The closer you are to Orska, the more likely you are to rest in the same clearing with other travelers at night.

Put the small sausages bought from the fruit town on wooden sticks and put them next to the fire to "sizzling" toast, Wen Yu broke the bread for himself and Little Keke.When they set off from Fruit Town, they obviously overestimated their appetite. Even if some of the bread and sausages were distributed to the coachman, they would still have a lot left when they arrived in Orska.Fortunately, the coachman kindly told them: If those jams can’t be eaten by themselves, they can be sold to shops and bars in the city of Orska. Although the distance between the two cities is not too far, these things can already be counted as food. It is a special product.

A person and a cat sat in a corner of the fire, slowly eating the food in their hands. Beside the two of them, besides the coachman, were travelers in two other carriages.

It grew darker and darker until—
