The Journey of the Plane / The Journey of the Plane: Looking for Lily

"Please respect yourself"

The three of them still refused cleanly at the same time.

Ignoring the appearance of the man who seemed to be struggling to say something to stay, Moli leapt up and lightly jumped onto the back seat of Hermes, and Kino started the engine directly with a tacit understanding, and was about to drive Hermes quickly. When leaving this place of right and wrong, unexpectedly, the man took out a hand-held persuader directly from behind - aimed directly at Mo Li's back, the man probably had already given up all his strength, and shouted hysterically: "Don't go! Please!" Don't go! Stay here and revive this country with me!"

and so……

Is this his attitude of asking others to stay?

Mo Li was really going to laugh out of anger.

On the other hand, Kino calmly looked back at the man who couldn't even hold on to the persuader, and suddenly said with a smile: "If I defend myself rightly against the person who draws the gun, will I be judged as a crime?"

"Oh! It seems very interesting! I want a majority vote! I agree with Chino's innocence!"

"Seconded"

The man was obviously stunned for a moment. He didn't expect that Kino would make such a move to mock him in turn, and Hermis and Mo Li would actually use the majority vote to tease him in such a way. Of course, the steady persuader will fall to the ground unknowingly—the next moment, he, unwilling to admit that the sacred majority vote is so unbearable, immediately became furious as if someone had lifted the last fig leaf. He insisted that Chino stay, but roared with a voice that was twice as loud as before: "Get out! Leave this country right now!"

"Hahaha~ It seems that everyone passed it unanimously~"

The heartless Hermis did the final touch on the man indifferently.

And Kino, who was not hindered by himself, of course started the engine smoothly, and then drove Hermis out of the dilapidated city gate along the road like an arrow off the string.

"Goodbye, king."

Of course, that man would not have heard the last words that Kino left him softly.

……

Less than an hour after leaving the majority voting country, a very serious problem appeared in front of Kino's eyes again, and he couldn't help but control Hermis to stop—this is a bifurcation leading to the left and right sides!And Kino's map didn't mention this fork in the road, so Kino could only stop and think about which side he should go.

"left"

"right."

It never occurred to Mo Li and Kino to express their opinions at the same time. Because the two sides disagreed, the atmosphere became a little awkward in the next second.

Mo Li originally thought that she would have to argue with Kino. After all, Kino looked like a guy who didn't care about anything at first, but in fact he was very stubborn!There is no room for change in things that have been decided!So Mo Li was also ready to quarrel with Kino, but unexpectedly Kino smiled lightly, and then said: "Got it, I agree with Mo Li's choice." So caught off guard, Mo Li couldn't help it. She couldn't help but feel the chills sweeping over her, and she couldn't help wondering if the Chino who agreed with others' proposal at this time was really the Chino she was familiar with?

And Hermes, who is also familiar with Chino's personality, even complained that it will definitely rain red today!

It is enough to prove how abnormal Kino is at this time.

"In short, let's take a walk first, and finally realize that we have gone the wrong way, and then go back and walk again."

While talking calmly, Kino twisted the direction of Hermes, as if the next moment he really wanted to start the engine and drive towards the "left" that Mo Li pointed out—then the moment Hermes started to move forward, Kino Nuo turned the direction of Hermes to the other side very quickly, so that he started driving towards the "right" that Kino herself pointed out!

Wow!

Despicable traveler!

This guy, Chino, dared to lie to her!

"Obviously agreed to go to the left"

"You lied to me"

The feeling of being teased by Kino was really unpleasant, and Mo Li, who became angry from embarrassment, held up the notepad and began to tug on Kino's short black hair angrily.

"I didn't lie to you." Even after being treated like this, Kino's voice was still so flat, as if he didn't feel his short hair being pulled by someone at all, but Mo Li was obviously very keen to hear where Kino was hiding. There was a hint of joking under the calm, "As I said before, I agree with Mo Li to go to the left - but, I agree with everyone, but I still want to go to the right, and the most important thing is that you did not object to us, Mo Li Go to the right, right?"

Despicable, despicable, despicable!

Who knew that Kino would actually play word games with him!

Once again, Mo Li almost turned into a puffer fish.

Volume [-] Kino's Journey: The Seventh Kingdom, Arena ([-])

There is a road where the woodland rivers meet.

The road is very high from the water surface of the river next to it, and slightly higher than the ground of the surrounding forest, and it can be said that the soil of this road is quite hard, the road surface is also pressed extremely flat, and it looks quite spacious - presumably this place It should be because there are many vehicles coming and going that they pay so much attention to road repairs, right?

At this time, a motorcycle was speeding along the road, and it was driven by a young rider.

The physique of the rider seems to lean towards the lean.

Under the shining of the setting sun, the shadow of the rider was also drawn thin and long by the light.

The rider was wearing a long brown coat with a long hem, which seemed a little out of shape. On her head was a hat with a small brim, which looked like a flight hat or an army style hat. On her face was a A pair of slightly worn-out silver windproof glasses... Sitting behind the rider was a little girl who looked younger than the rider, with an expressionless face, and a pair of gray eyes that couldn't see With a slight focal length, and a strange-looking super-large book on his back, he looks like a doll at first glance.

"Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah--"

"Kino! You are speeding! Hurry up and slow down!"

The noisy Mr. Motorcycle is still trying to make the noise not weaker than the engine today.

"What did you say?"

However, the young rider didn't care about Mr. Motorcycle's wailing, his tone didn't fluctuate at all, and he didn't mean to relax the accelerator. The gear was always on the highest gear, and he said with a casual smile: "Hamis, are you getting old? Wouldn't it be good to run at high speed like now?" I don't know if Hermes is really getting old or all motorcycles have this problem. After the highest gear, the motorcycle's engine sounded as if the shock absorber had dropped, and the vibration was so violent that something went wrong.

"Ahhh!"

"I'm really going to break!"

Of course Hermes, who was not treated normally, yelled louder.

"Too noisy"

Distraught by this kind of scream, Mo Li, who was sitting behind Kino, directly raised the notepad, and kicked it hard with his heel regardless of whether Hermes could read the words on it.

"It's just a test of your top speed with luggage"

"You devil know nothing! This is the basic knowledge of motorcycles! The so-called 'maximum speed' refers to the 'speed that will break down'! Do you want me to break down!" It seems that Hermes looked After getting the words on the notebook, it is really puzzling where its eyes grow.

Anyway-

No matter how much Hermes wailed, it was useless, after all, the rider of the motorbike was Kino, if Kino was unwilling to slow down, then Mo Li would have no choice, right?

However, Kino seems to have been satisfied with the test at this speed, and finally slowly released the accelerator, slowing down the speed to about half of the previous speed, and then smiled at Hermis and said, "That's great!" The speed just now was more than [-] kilometers, and it’s been a long time since I ran so emotionally!” Speaking of this, Kino’s tone was tinged with a hint of humor, and he began to tease Hermes, “Take Hermis, you should be very proud that you can run so fast with so much luggage."

"Proud ass! I almost broke!"

Mr. Motorcycle, whose voice was as immature as a little boy's, breathed out fragrance directly, but it didn't sound deterrent at all, and it even made people find it very funny.

"Good good."

And Kino also knew that Hermis was really afraid that he would break down, so he stopped teasing Hermis, restrained the excitement caused by the high-speed running just now, and turned his attention to the road ahead, saying back Seriously said: "We will soon reach the next country, I heard it is a very beautiful country..."

"Huh? A very beautiful country?"

Hermis, whose voice was slightly raised, seemed a little skeptical. After all, he had been traveling with Kino for so long, and he really hadn't encountered a few countries that could be regarded as beautiful.

Even one is weirder than the other.

"Is it the country that was introduced by the traveler I met last time?"

Moli's memory is definitely better than a motorcycle, so when she heard Chino put so much emphasis on the word "very beautiful", she couldn't help but recall a traveler who traveled alone a long time ago, and introduced a certain beauty to them very gently. One beautiful country in one place.

"Correct."

Chino didn't mean to deny it, and nodded directly.

"I heard that the country is surrounded by forests, there is no invasion of war, the land is rich, the food is rich, the people are kind, and everyone lives together in a very peaceful and simple way..." While slowly repeating what the traveler said when he introduced himself, Naturally, Kino couldn't help recalling the face of the other party. For some reason, the other party smiled so softly at that time, but there was a trace of sadness in his eyes, as if the world had collapsed, so that Kino couldn't forget it, "The traveler said this The country is a beautiful country that any traveler dreams of visiting, what kind of country is it?"

Not long after, some shadows belonging to buildings appeared vaguely in front of my eyes.

There is a very smooth downhill road ahead.

Then you can see the city wall.

This seems to be a large unnaturally formed basin, hidden in the blue forest, the gray city walls wrapping the inner city layer by layer, and the buildings in the city stand up in a mess - if you just look at it from From the looks of it, there really isn't much here to keep travelers dreaming about.

There seems to be a huge oval-shaped building in the center of the city that can be vaguely seen through the city wall.

I don't know what it is used for.

"I have long wanted to visit this country..."

Standing in front of the basin, Kino couldn't help but muttered to himself in a trance, his tone was still flat, and he wasn't disappointed by the messy scene in front of him.

……

But it turned out that Chino was really going to be disappointed.

The place is clearly not beautiful.

After entering the basin along the downhill road, you can clearly feel that the light here is really bad, especially after stepping into a tunnel, only the torches hanging on the wall provide a dispensable light source, and what happened later What happened to Kino and his team was even more baffled—Kino, who was pushing Hermis, had just walked out of the tunnel with Mo Li, and before he started to observe the scene in front of him, he was caught off guard and found that the entrance of the tunnel behind was directly closed by the iron fence the next moment Coupled with the dark and humid environment around, it's like being in a dungeon.

And the people who came to greet the travelers were also different from what Kino had imagined in his mind.

The other party was a guy in leather armor who looked like a gatekeeper. He was tall and burly, and when he came over, he directly looked down on Kino and Moli with the advantage of his height.

--Um.

——The face is also very hideous.

Mo Li, who was expressionless, added silently in her heart.

After a group of guard soldiers surrounded Chino, Moli, and Hermes, a man who looked like the leader showed a nasty smile, and even directed at Chino in an extremely hostile tone. No said: "Be as happy as you can! You're number 24!"

No. 24?

What does it mean?

Kino was naturally a little confused, so he expressed his doubts appropriately, but unexpectedly, the other party clicked his tongue extremely impatiently.

"So explaining it to newcomers is troublesome! In short, once entering the territory of our country, no matter who they are, they will immediately be eligible for the competition! That is to say, to get the right to compete for 'first-level citizens', for travelers like you Obviously it’s the best, isn’t it?” The soldier obviously couldn’t understand travelers, and started to mock maliciously, “Anyway, you are living outside because you are homeless, and our country just provides you with the opportunity to become citizens. Opportunity, isn't it worth rejoicing?"

Chino frowned slightly.

Not only because the soldier's attitude towards travelers is very targeted, but also because he cares about what the soldier said about "eligibility for the competition" and "competition for citizens' rights".

Fortunately, another uncle soldier stood up and explained to them in more detail: "Our country stipulates that only 'first-level citizens' are eligible to live on the ground, while the rest of them have to hide in the sewer like mice. Or serve us as 'slaves' and come to live on earth."

all in all--

Is it a race to determine social status?

However, Kino has no interest in living in this country, not to mention that the people here seem to be obviously not friendly, so he bluntly refused: "Sorry, as you said before, I am a traveler, so I I really have no interest in fighting for the 'citizen rights' of this country—I just want to stay here for three days and leave." It's a pity that these soldiers don't seem to have any plans to let Chino go, and they sneered and said that Chino didn't want to participate Yes, but there is a price to pay.

"What price?"

Chino asked seriously.

The smile of one of the soldier uncles gradually became frenzied: "As a coward who escaped from the battle, he must live here as a slave for the rest of his life! Boy, this is the regulation of our country, and those who disobey will die!" He deliberately swung his waist while talking. The persuaders are not so much intimidating Kino as they are showing off.

Seeing Mo Li is really indescribable.

——Is it not good to live?

——Why did you come here to provoke Kino?

And after learning that the country's regulations are so tough, Chino can only sigh helplessly, and then began to ask about the explanation of the game.

This country holds a competition for civil rights every three months. People who want to live here have to fight in the arena. The winner who wins the final can become a new citizen. Three days, the first two days are elimination battles, and the final battle at noon on the third day - you can use any weapon in the game, as long as it is your own weapon, but you can't watch other people's games.Then, if one party wants to surrender and admit defeat, it must obtain the consent of the winning party before it can truly surrender, and then it will be deported.

If you escape during the game, you are a deserter, and if you catch it, you will be sentenced to death directly.

And the winner who wins to the end will be awarded a medal representing civil rights by the king himself, and can also formulate a brand new regulation for this country.

Anything goes.

As long as it does not conflict with existing regulations.

"Okay, let me ask one last question, am I the only one participating in the competition? And she doesn't need to participate?" Chino said while pointing to Mo Li who seemed to be watching a play. After all, after entering this country , isn't she the only one who has become the focus of these soldiers' care?

Forget about Hermes.

After all, it's just a motorcycle, so it's really hard to let it fight...

And Mo Li didn't care about Chino's behavior of selling out his teammates, and directly raised the notepad in his hand, looking fearless.

"I am a doll"

"That's right, she's a doll, just like the motorcycle next to you. These regulations are only valid for 'people', and dolls don't seem to be eligible to become citizens of a country, right?" For some reason, these soldiers were very calm He immediately accepted the setting of "Mo Li is a puppet", and he didn't seem to have any doubts, as if Mo Li was really a puppet—and Kino was already familiar with it, and knew it a long time ago. Mo Li seems to have the ability to make others think that she is a doll, just like when she foolishly thought that Mo Li was a doll, but I don’t know when Mo Li’s ability started to feel sorry for her Worked.

Thinking of participating in the competition later, Chino rubbed his temples with a headache, and said weakly and helplessly: "I want to participate in the competition, please arrange it for me."
