Chapter 192 Reminiscing

The fairy has a good memory and can still remember the people she met eight years ago.

Captain Ximu looked more mature. His temperament had not changed but became even more distinct, like a blooming rose, always gorgeous and flamboyant.

Compared to Shu Li's good memory, Ximu was stunned for a moment when he heard him calling his name, with a puzzled look on his face.

She is the director of a song and dance troupe and often takes girls to perform in various cities. Many people know her and many can call out her name. But why does she have no impression of this outstanding-looking black-haired boy in front of her?

Ximu looked at him carefully, and the more she looked, the more familiar he seemed to her, especially those pure and beautiful gray-green eyes, which awakened her memories from a few years ago.

"Who are you……"

"Amo!" A crisp voice sounded, calling out Shu Li's pseudonym.

Shu Li looked at the girl standing behind Ximu. She had smooth straight black hair, a pair of violet eyes, and was wearing bright clothes from the chorus. She was staring at him deeply.

"Huh? Amo? Little Amo?" Simu raised an eyebrow in sudden realization. The dark-haired boy before him was the adorable little Amo from eight years ago. Now taller, his features more developed, he'd become a handsome young man. Meeting him suddenly, he hadn't really connected him to his childhood self.

But Nasha was recognized at first sight.

"It's me." Shu Li politely greeted her. "I'm glad to meet you here. You're still so beautiful."

Sim laughed, his whole body quivering with laughter, his brown eyes twinkling with amusement. "Little Amos has grown up, and has become handsome and mature, just like your brother—Oh, by the way, why don't you see Mr. Al?"

Shu Li smiled and said, "My brother is at home. This time, my friends and I are out here to gain experience."

Simu looked at the six outstanding young men behind him, his eyes shining, his gaze seemed to be glued to them, observing each of them carefully, nodding constantly as he looked.

As the leader of a song and dance troupe, what he cannot refuse the most are handsome men and beautiful women. These young men are so outstanding in both appearance and temperament, especially the boy with blond hair and green eyes, who is simply the best of the best.

Simondo glanced at him twice, and the other glanced back politely.

"Will you introduce me?" asked Sim with interest.

Shu Li turned sideways and looked at his friends.

Angel took the initiative to step forward and greeted Ximu with a smile: "Hello, Captain Ximu, I am Anli."

Then, the others introduced themselves one by one.

"I'm Audi."

"I'm Det."

"I'm Manfei."

"Cook."

"Hello, I'm Estelle."

Except for Ace, Xiao Yaojing and Xiao Long all gave aliases. Since Shu Li used the alias Amo, they followed suit.

Simu looked at the attractive young men, and the corners of his mouth curled up wildly. If they were not wearing magic robes, he would have wanted to trick them into joining his own singing and dancing troupe.

What a great seedling!

What a pity.

Shu Li knew that her old illness had come back again, and she coughed a few times to remind herself that there was a group of bandits around her who were eyeing her with eager eyes.

The bandits expressed their anger.

What's going on with these two guys? They're actually chatting right in front of them? Do you know what's going on?

Robbery!

Do you know what robbery means?

"roar--"

The bandit orcs roared so loudly that it was deafening and scared away all the birds and small animals in the forest.

Sim scratched his ear, a look of displeasure on his face. "Bart—"

As she shouted, the bearded man among the guards walked up to the bandit half-orc, glared at him fiercely, and suddenly transformed into a beast. His body grew taller, his muscles bulging, his clothes bursting, revealing the animal skin covering his skin. His head took on the shape of a beast, revealing sharp fangs, and he opened his mouth, roaring with a voice even louder than the bandit half-orc.

“Aho-ho—”

Feeling the terrifying pressure from a higher level than themselves, the bandit orcs trembled with fear and took several steps back. The short goblins even jumped up and climbed onto a nearby tree. The other ordinary human bandits were so scared that they could hardly hold their weapons.

I thought I had met a group of fat sheep that were easy to slaughter, but I never expected that there were terrible orcs among them.

However, the battle has just begun.

While they were stunned by the orcs, Shu Li raised his magic wand and cast wind magic.

The element of wind condensed at the front end of the magic wand. As he waved it gracefully, several small tornadoes hit the bandits. The bandits were caught off guard and were knocked to the ground by the tornadoes.

Soon, the other members of Team Light raised their magic wands and released different spells.

Light balls, fireballs, water dragons, and wind blades all came at the same time, and the bandits, who were already staggering, suffered a terrible magical attack.

“Ah ...

The bandits were so frightened that they no longer cared about robbing and fled in panic. Those who were slow to react were hit by the magic. They screamed and fell to the ground, without a sound.

Seeing this, the guards and orcs in the troupe immediately joined the battle, attacking the bandit orcs and goblins fiercely.

The bandit orcs were unable to resist and soon fell in a pool of blood. The goblins lost their lives before they even had time to open the mechanism.

A one-sided massacre took place in the woods.

Shu Li put down his magic wand, smelled the blood, and frowned slightly.

He originally had no intention of killing the bandits, he just wanted to drive them away, and the magic power of his other teammates was obviously restrained. However, Bart and the guards of the chorus were never vegetarians, and they used killing moves as soon as they attacked, and none of the bandits were spared.

Shu Li sighed secretly.

It’s just that these bandits are so ignorant of their own safety. Why would they rob anyone else but them?

Fortunately, they had the power to fight back. If it were an ordinary traveler, they would probably have been persecuted by the bandits.

Bandits, like pirates, are cruel and inhumane criminals who deserve to be put to death.

Ten minutes later, the battle was over.

Bart and the other orc guards returned to their human form.

"Wow~" Budno exclaimed softly.

For the elves who have always lived in the Fairy Forest, this is their first time encountering orcs, and it is full of novelty.

Amanda had seen orcs before.

When I was flying over the sea with my brother, I encountered orcs on a ship.

However, this is the first time I have observed an orc so closely.

Ximu snapped his nails, put on a charming smile, and said to Shu Li, "It's finally quiet now. We can reminisce about the past."

A drop of sweat dripped down Shu Li's forehead.

Sim looked at him admiringly and said, "You have become an excellent magician."

Shu Li shook his head modestly: "No, I'm still a magic apprentice."

"Really? That's pretty impressive too." Sim glanced at the corpses of the bandits scattered on the ground. "Much more powerful than any magic apprentice I've ever seen."

Shu Li said: "Thank you for the compliment."

Sim shook his slender fingers. "No, no, no, I'm not praising you. I'm speaking the truth. And your companions are just as good as you."

Nasha, who was standing next to Simu, frowned, her violet eyes looking directly at Shu Li as she asked, "Your name is Sperian, not Amo?"

"Uh..." Shu Li blinked.

Nasha said, "I also know magic and can understand the Elvish language. The names you used when you chanted the spell and prayed to the gods were different from what you said just now."

"Oh, well..." Shu Li explained calmly, "Amo is my nickname! Sperian is my real name. And the same goes for them."

The goblins and the little dragon nodded in unison, smiling brightly.

Nasha raised her hand and pointed at Ace: "Why doesn't he have a nickname?"

"Because they and I are not from the same hometown." Ace looked at Shu Li gratefully and said, "I encountered bandits and almost died on the road. They saved me."

Nasha was surprised, puffed out her cheeks, and was very unconvinced.

Simu reached out and rubbed her head. "Little girl, don't worry about these little details. It's normal for a person to have two names."

Nasha snorted softly, turned around and jumped back into the carriage.

Ximu laughed and winked at Shu Li: "Do you still remember Nasha?"

"Of course." Shu Li nodded, "She is Pei..."

"Hush—" Sim held up a finger, stopping him from continuing. "The little girl has been studying with you for years. In order to catch up with you, I found someone to teach her Elvish and magic."

"Huh? So what is she like now..." Shu Li saw Nasha wearing the clothes of the chorus and thought that she did not receive the care of Queen Dalia and had become a dancer.

Ximu pointed to the bandit's body on the ground and asked, "Are you sure you want to stay here and reminisce about the past?"

Shu Li hurriedly said: "Let's change places!"

It was getting dark, and they had to find a clean place to camp.

Soon, the members of the chorus returned to their carriages, and Shu Li and his friends also returned to their own carriages.

The coachman Harding had wanted to leave a long time ago. If he stayed any longer, he would feel like vomiting from the strong smell of blood.

I have to say, the employer is powerful, but the orcs in the chorus are even more terrifying.

The scene of tearing a human body apart with bare hands is so bloody that it will give you nightmares.

When Harding heard his employer say they were leaving, he immediately threw the reins, drove the two horses, and followed the troupe's motorcade closely.

As it gradually darkened, the convoy drove more than a thousand meters, stopped in front of a hill, found a sheltered place, and began to set up camp.

After Shu Li and his friends got off the carriage, they took out the camping tent from the storage bag and set it up skillfully.

The members of the chorus divided the work in an orderly manner. Nasha, as a princess, also helped to collect dry firewood.

Angel and the other goblins are no strangers to the song and dance troupe.

Eight years ago, Sperien went to the human world with Ilio to lift the curse. After returning, he held a symposium and described in detail to the goblins and elves what he saw and heard on the road.

Therefore, they knew that there was a song and dance troupe, and the leader of the troupe was called Ximu, a powerful woman with very strong leadership skills.

Seeing is believing. Now that they saw her in person, the goblins all felt that she was just as Sperian had described her, seemingly careless but actually full of danger.

Those orcs, although so cruel, obeyed her orders and were loyal to her.

Bart was still the one in charge of the kitchen. He made a big pot of broth, brought it to the wooden table, and gave everyone a bowl.

The members of the chorus held the hot broth and hard bread and ate it with relish.

Shu Li also set up a small stove and put a pot of hot water in it to soak the oatmeal.

In order to eat barbecue, Amanda hurried into the woods to catch small animals while her companions were setting up the tent.

Ximu took Nasha to the magic apprentices' camp. Seeing them take out a bunch of fruits and vegetables, he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows and asked, "Are you rabbits? Why are all of them vegetarian?"

Shu Li: ...
