"How was it? Didn't I do well?"
The girl's face was filled with the joy of victory, her big eyes sparkling with excitement, like two brilliant stars.
She lowered her head, took his arm, and swayed, like a little girl hoping for praise.
"Very good, Bi Lu."
Rubbing Jingya's head, Hiro felt a little amused. Had this girl forgotten she was disguised as a man?
Fat Tiger Jiatuos, standing nearby, stared at them with strange eyes, vaguely sensing something extraordinary.
Covering his own behind, his expression thoughtful, he greatly misunderstood.
"Thank you, let's keep going."
Brushing past him, Jingya walked ahead somewhat flustered, her expression a little awkward, realizing her recent behavior was inappropriate.
She lowered her head, not daring to look into Hiro's eyes again, a strange feeling welling up in her heart.
… …
… …
Sunlight filtered through the gaps in the leaves, scattering onto the forest path, and Nobi Hiroshi's figure was silhouetted against the black and white dappled light.
Leading the horse, the three walked in silence, the atmosphere somewhat eerie.
Until they met another group of people and a horse.
"Hiro, Fat Tiger, it's you guys!"
"Please, quickly save me! I don't want to be a servant anymore."
Nobi Nobita, dressed in modern clothes, was carrying a heavy load, his face full of pain. He spoke weakly, on the verge of collapsing.
He must have been tormented by his servant status. Snaimis, Viscount Xiao Fu, led the way leisurely, while Nobita had to bear the responsibility of carrying all the luggage.
The special law still existed, so Nobita did not recognize Shizuka, who was disguised as a man.
"Hey, servant, are you trying to betray your master so soon?"
Snaimis, Viscount, walked over angrily, his bronze armor creaking at the joints as he roughly gripped Nobita's nape.
"Who is he, Hiro? Do you know him?"
Looking at Nobi Nobita, who was dressed like an outsider, Jingya observed him with some curiosity.
Could anyone have such large eyes? Actually, it was just that there were no glasses in this world.
"Yes, he's a friend of mine. It looks like he's run into a little trouble."
Nobi Hiroshi released the horse rope to Jingya, stepped forward to talk to Snaimis, and tried to exchange for his servant, Nobita.
"Don't even think about it. This is a servant I managed to acquire with great difficulty. I won't give him to you."
Snaimis pushed his hand away, refusing.
Dumb and foolish subordinates were rare, so he wouldn't give him to others.
"Alright then, we can only settle this matter through a duel."
His twin swords drew silver arcs in the air, pointing at Snaimis.
How could half of his son be captured and made a servant? This was unacceptable!
If anyone was going to be a servant, it should be for him.
For both emotional and logical reasons, Nobi Hiroshi had a reason to save Nobita.
"Alright, then let me, Snaimis, Viscount, teach you a lesson, fellow!"
Raising his steel sword and making an attacking gesture, Snaimis, Viscount, was full of confidence.
As the sword light flashed, three sharp metallic clashes rang out.
Snaimis quickly fell to his knees.
"Have mercy, sir, have mercy!"
"I'll give you this servant right away. Let him help you carry luggage, lead the horse, and so on."
Snaimis approached, looking at Nobi Hiroshi with a fawning expression, just like Xiao Fu in reality, skilled at adapting to circumstances.
Seeing this dramatic scene, Jingya couldn't help but cover her mouth and chuckle softly.
"Hmm, alright."
Nobi Hiroshi indifferently withdrew his blade; wasn't the purpose of saving someone precisely for this?
And he didn't even have to personally speak to bring the villain, it felt really good.
"Ah, why do I have to be someone else's servant again? I don't want to play anymore, what a broken dream, I'm exhausted!"
He unwillingly yelled and screamed.
Nobi Nobita had already begun to regret the matter of selling himself as a servant for just a piece of roasted meat.
He had to travel early in the morning, and not having personal freedom was one thing, but he also had to carry luggage for others, and now the master had become Hiroshi.
Even with the thickest skin, he couldn't accept why he had to suffer so much even in his dreams.
"Nobi Nobinia, are you trying to defy your master's command?!"
The tip of the sword pointed directly at Nobita, the threat was self-evident, and Snaimis, Viscount immediately transformed into a lackey, taming the disobedient servant.
"I don't want to, Doraemon, hurry and come save me, I don't want to continue this dream, Doraemon!"
Nobita spread his arms and jumped up and down, crying out to the sky.
How could the sleeping Doraemon possibly notice him?
In the end, Nobita could only resign himself to carrying the luggage, hunching his back and walking at the very end.
The path in the forest became wider and wider, and Hiroshi and Jingya rode on horseback at the front.
Jiatuos, Fat Tiger, Snaimis, Viscount, and Xiao Fu followed closely behind, and as they saw the sacred tree getting closer, everyone became happier.
Except for Nobita, who struggled to walk while carrying three people's luggage.
After some time, they finally arrived at the center of the forest, at the base of the Yurabata Sacred Tree, which rose from the ground.
"We've finally arrived. I heard that the silver set is placed at the top of the sacred tree. As long as we get it, we can defeat the Demon Spirit Great Emperor."
Looking at the enormous, sky-reaching giant tree in front of him, Jiatuos was full of anticipation.
However, since ancient times, no one had ever successfully reached the top of the tree.
The group arrived here full of confidence, but when they saw the sacred tree, they still felt a chill in their hearts; it was simply not meant for humans to climb.
"The legendary Yurabata Sacred Tree, I didn't expect it to be so spectacular up close."
Looking at the sky-reaching giant tree in front of her, Jingya touched it while sighing with emotion.
"It is indeed spectacular, but it will also be very difficult for us to climb up."
"At this height, it would probably take several days to climb up."
"And there are no airplanes or rockets…"
Nobi Hiroshi touched the sacred tree, feeling that becoming a Silver Swordsman was no longer important.
Sometimes you have to learn to give up; why make yourself suffer this much?
"I'll give it my all! I'm going to climb up right now. You all just wait and see, the silver set will definitely be mine, Snaimis, Viscount's."
For honor, Snaimis swallowed his saliva, gathered his courage, and began to climb upward.
Jiatuos, seeing this, also quickly followed. However, looking at his appearance, he probably had already forgotten the agreement to obtain the set for Jingya.
"Hiroshi, aren't you going up?"
Two people had already set off, and the impatient Jingya took out the grappling hook she had prepared beforehand, fastened it to her hands and feet, and prepared to depart.
But Nobi Hiroshi sat leisurely in place, as if everything had nothing to do with him.
"No, I'm someone who believes in fate. Since the silver set is not destined for me, I think I'll just skip it."
"Bi Lu, you can do it."
Leaning lazily against the base of the tree, Nobi Hiroshi crossed his legs and began to rest.
He couldn't use instant movement in his dream.
Without a cheat, no matter how powerful he was, it was fake. How could he climb such a cloud-piercing tree? Wouldn't he suffer from hypoxia?
