I was pulling trees in Daming, and Lao Zhu begged me to come out of retirement

Chapter 165 An Adventurer's Daily Life
Steve was originally an ordinary farmer living in a village in England.

In 1348, his mother died of the Black Death, and his brothers also died.

By 1355, his father remarried and had two younger brothers. The family's life became prosperous because of the population scarcity after the Black Death.

The memory of the terrible event in 1348 had already begun to fade, but in 1362, the plague struck his area again.
Village. More children, friends and relatives were taken away by death.

Steve did not fall, but worked harder to live a good life. As a result, the Black Death struck again in 1369...

This terrible plague broke out intermittently in Europe for nearly a century. Even though it did not spread on a large scale, it was enough to make many villagers living in the 14th century feel despair.

And at this moment,
The temple appeared, and the Wither Skeleton, the source of the Black Death, also appeared.

There was no need to present the final state of human existence as a horrific dance of the victims of the Black Death, guided by demons or skeletons carrying scythes, towards eternal hell, as in art and theatrical performances. The real demons of hell were enough to provide a way to vent the resentment accumulated by the Black Death that had lasted for decades.

Historically, this resentment once sparked a pilgrimage movement called the Flagellants.

Those frenzied pilgrims gathered and marched during the plague-ravaged years, sometimes barefoot or even naked, for 33 days in a row - because Jesus lived on earth for 33 years.

Participants in the march whipped themselves with whips and chains until they bled, believing that this would atone for humanity, end the plague soon, and bring about a moral revival in the Christian world.

These people want to save the whole world.

Now, becoming an adventurer has replaced the Lasher movement that was supposed to appear.
Under the guidance of the temple, these fanatics took up their weapons and pointed them at the skeletons of the underworld.

Steve was one of them at this time.
As a veteran who had completed nine expeditions, he was hired as a temporary mercenary in a expedition team temporarily formed by the Adventurer's Guild.

At this time, they were intensively attacking a group of four wandering zombie piglins.

Steve has already gathered the experience of 9 zombie pigmen. With one more, he can go to the Temple of Heaven to receive a blessing from the Lord Heaven.

Steve, a veteran who has completed nine expeditions, said to his teammates behind him without even turning his head:
"Tom, Jerry, and Aqua, I don't know if you have carefully read the adventure manual issued by the union, but you must remember that the power of any monster is extremely strong. We should not confront it head-on before we upgrade to junior knights."

The blue-eyed Tom and the brown-haired Jerry behind him nodded in agreement:
"Ok!"

Aqua:
"I am Aqua, a righteous Templar candidate squire under the great King of Law. You and I are ugly monsters. Let's have a duel between knights! Uuuuuu... why are you pulling me? I want to destroy those abominable monsters."

Steve: "???"

Tom and Jerry hurriedly dragged their master into the shelter.
The two looked at Steve awkwardly.
At this time, all the zombie pigmen who were disturbed by Aqua turned their heads to look at Steve and his group. They held golden swords in their hands and rushed towards Steve with pig-like grunts in their mouths.

Steve: "What's-the-fuck...! Gogogo!"

The group turned around and ran away.

As novices who haven't even bought all the equipment, they basically have no way to fight monsters head-on.

At this moment, Steve wanted to knock the idiot next to him on the head and ask loudly,

Are you fucking crazy? You're fighting a knight against a monster. Can the other side understand what you're saying?! Have you watched Roland's Song so much that your brain has gone crazy?!

At this time, Aqua seemed a little angry. She kept throwing the original casting net that she bought at a high price behind her and using it as a white glove.

"Damn monster, you have no martial ethics. I threw a white glove at you and you should fight me one-on-one according to the rules! Let me go!"

She suddenly stood up, pushed her two followers away, drew a glittering diamond sword from her waist, and rushed towards the four zombie pigmen.

Steve stood there with his mouth wide open, looking confused. Tom and Jerry screamed with their scalps tingling:
"Quick! Go back and save the young lady. If anything happens to her, we will definitely be burned at the stake."

Aqua swept her sword,
The diamond sword and the golden sword collided with each other with a bang.
The zombie pigman's huge body was actually knocked back several steps by Aqua.

"Hi~!"

Steve was shocked, "How is this possible?! What a powerful force!"

You have to know that ordinary humans are completely unable to match the power of monsters, not to mention that the other party is a weak woman.

Aqua laughed triumphantly:

"As expected of me! You are just a demon from hell. You are nothing but scum in front of me, the righteous Knight Aqua!"

Before she finished laughing, the rest of the zombie pigmen surrounded her from both sides.

The rotten pig head stared at Aqua.
Aqua blinked and said, "Let's have a match between knights..."

Bang~!

Aqua was knocked away.
The armor all over his body flashed with a purple light, offsetting most of the damage by 70% to 80%.

Steve exclaimed,
Only then did he realize that his employer was wearing blessed armor all over his body, and the terrifying defensive power was more than just a low-level blessing.

Rich man!
Steve sighed from the bottom of his heart, he had been through so many life and death situations but still had not accumulated enough experience for a blessing, yet the other party was already fully equipped, no wonder he dared to provoke the zombie pigman so arrogantly.

He compared the equipment and damage of both sides, and immediately realized that his employer, who looked like a vase, had at least the combat power of a Temple Knight. This was no newcomer at all, but a big boss.

At this moment, Steve just wanted to shout:
"God, please take me!"

Using the power of a great god to deal with a few small minions, it is simply...

“Ahhh! Run! It hurts so much!!”

A gust of wind blew past Steve.

The zombie pigman following closely behind him stood in front of Steve with a gloomy look and raised the golden sword in his hand.

Steve: “What’s the fuck?”

Several golden swords fell from the sky and slashed towards the unlucky Steve. At this time, Steve just wanted to praise all the ancestors of this cheating employer.

Steve stood there with a look of despair on his face, his miserable life beginning to emerge in his mind.

Just as he closed his eyes and felt this rare revolving lantern,
There was a loud bang!
The zombie pigman beside him instantly turned into a pool of minced meat.

"Huh? These zombie pigmen actually dropped such a high level of demonic will?"

Tianyu sounded like the sound of nature coming down from the sky,

Steve opened his eyes blankly and suddenly felt that he saw the light.
