Chapter 402 I Want to Be the Boss
The sun is about to set.
Zhang Yang stared at the huge fireball with an expression neither sad nor happy on his face.
This place is more than fifty miles away from the battlefield and far away from the road, so there is no need to worry about being discovered.
Tonks' injuries are getting better, but his spirit is very low. I don't know if it's because of his uncle's death in the war or because he's a deserter?
But Zhang Yang was not worried about these things. He was thinking about other things. Today's not-so-exciting experience had made him gain a lot, so this was the first time in these days that he had completely and three-dimensionally thought about himself and what he would do in the future. Obviously, he would not be able to contact the main body for a long time in the future. This was a very interesting and scary thing.
Before, as a trumpet, he could always communicate with the main body, so he did not think of himself as an independent part, but just a hand extended from the main body, an infinitely long hand.
However, if there is no communication for a long time and no exchange of information, he is a little worried. He is not worried about the subject, but he is worried that he will gradually become stronger with different experiences and will eventually be incompatible with the subject.
You are no longer yourself. If you think about it carefully, this is a terrifying thing.
Zhang Yang felt that he had an inner demon, and this inner demon could not be eliminated before communicating with the subject face to face.
"My friend, I still don't know your name?"
Tonks' voice rang out, and he seemed to have regained his spirits.
"Theo, son of farmer Baggio from Hadley Village, are you feeling better?" Zhang Yang turned his head, his face was dark at this moment because of the light.
"Thank you for saving me again. I should have thanked you very much, but now, I can only say thank you." Tonks smiled bitterly.
"What do you seem to be worried about?"
"Yes, because I became a deserter. Of course, don't mind it. I don't mean to blame you. I'm not one of those stubborn guys. For me, even being a deserter is better than dying. The only thing that makes me a little angry is that I will lose the inheritance that originally belonged to me. That is a rich village with hundreds of farmers, and the right of first night."
"You are not a deserter, at least not in my opinion."
"Of course not. After Baron Charles was captured, we either had to fight to the death to rescue him or retreat to Duke Elfwan. But now, I think I can only be a mercenary in a tavern in my next life. Well, I still won't blame you, Theo, you don't have to worry. What are your plans next? You are just an ordinary soldier. In theory, they will not treat you as a deserter."
"Hey, you also said that's only in theory. In fact, I really want to be loyal to our king, but now for the sake of my own head, I think I can only become a mercenary, or pull a group of people together to become bandits."
Zhang Yang said casually. He was thinking about how to make Tonks pledge allegiance to him, or call him captain. This was very difficult. After all, he was of noble status and the eldest son. If he had not deserted this time, his future would have been bright.
Moreover, in this continent of Pendor, a farmer's son cannot become the protagonist. This is the rule.
"Or you could join me?" Tonks also laughed.
Zhang Yang grinned. He really wanted to say, “Actually, it should be you and me together.” But considering the difference in status between the two parties, he would not say anything that would reduce their favorability.
"Sure, maybe we can make a lot of money and go to the capital to have a good time. I'm really attracted to the girls there."
"Haha! Theo, you really don't look like a farmer's son. But everyone loves beautiful girls, I understand. So, take a night's rest and set off early tomorrow morning."
Tonks became spirited again.
Zhang Yang could only sigh. Look, this kid has involuntarily become the leader of the team. Damn it!
Nothing happened that night, except that a few wild wolves became their dinner, which were killed by Tonks with her bare hands. This made Zhang Yang even more depressed. He couldn't win in terms of status, and he couldn't win in terms of fists. When would he be able to become the leader of the team?
Fortunately, Tonks was a righteous guy, and he did not take the majestic Dashar warhorse for himself, otherwise Zhang Yang would have really considered taking action behind his back. However, this also indirectly proved that his initial choice was correct.
Tonks was an old hand who knew the way. She led Zhang Yang out of the mountains after many twists and turns. Their destination was the capital of the Kingdom of Sarion. Only there, as deserters from Baron Charles, they would not be wanted and arrested.
And Tonks was confident that he could make a difference in the capital because he was handsome.
"My plan is to be a mercenary for a while. I must further hone my strength and accumulate fame. Then I can participate in the competition. You know, this is one of the best ways for commoners to be promoted to nobility. If you can win the championship, you can almost win the hearts of a large number of unmarried noble ladies."
"If you propose to them, there is a high chance that you will succeed. If you can recite a few beautiful poems, they will fall madly in love with you. If you are more handsome, they will even be willing to elope for you."
Along the way, Tonks was frantically selling his experiences and insights, and Zhang Yang was about to block him, until Tonks casually mentioned that he had a younger sister who was not yet married.
"So is there a chance I could be your brother-in-law?"
Yes, he asked bluntly. He was fed up with this guy's chattering. Is it a big deal to be good-looking?
For a moment, Tonks' face was twisted and twitching, and he looked like he wanted to beat Zhang Yang up, but in the end he just laughed out loud, even pulling his wound.
"Of course, my friend. If I were still the heir of the family, I would definitely do this to repay you. But now, I'm sorry. My sister's marriage will probably be decided by my father. Besides, you probably only have less than a year, because as long as Theresa reaches the age of fifteen, she will be allowed to participate in the nobles' banquets."
Zhang Yang remained silent. He wanted more and more to be the boss of this team. Or, should he kick that bastard Tonks out and form a new team on his own?
But before he has the confidence, he needs two trump cards: first, a lot of dinars; second, strong enough strength.
After three days of walking in the wilderness, King Sarleon was already in sight. The tall city wall that appeared at the end of the horizon made Tonks very excited. After all, he was also a guy with glory in his heart and could not wait to restore his personal glory.
It was at this time that a cry was heard from the side of the road. A middle-aged man and woman were crying heartbreakingly. On the ground lay the body of a young girl with her heart dug out.
"This damn cultist!"
With just one glance, Tonks knew what had happened. Zhang Yang also knew a little about it. After all, using the heart of a pure girl as a sacrifice to please the devil was a common thing no matter where you were.
At this moment, Zhang Yang suddenly had an idea and said, "Tonks, maybe we can help this poor couple."
"How can I help? I don't even have a silver dinar on me right now." Tonks asked doubtfully. He was angry, but he didn't care about the follow-up.
"Find the evil cultists, kill them, and avenge the innocent girl."
Zhang Yang said very seriously, and at this moment, there was a line of small words in front of his eyes.
"Suggestion: Obtain 3 Devil's Hearts, which can be used to repair the Level 1 Wanderer Camp."
