wandering fairy

Great knowledge of the multiverse of Qionghong - there is no such strange style as "monk" in this universe, but there is a genre of warrior similar to monk, which has nothing to do with gods and beliefs.

Inside the town tavern.

The vast hall was full of voices, and the soldiers gathered here to drink and gamble.There was a crowd round each table, each with their own loud arguing, clinking of glasses, and chaotic singing.Some of the town's men got in on the act, too, to lighten the gloom of life with some crude jokes and small gambles.

The original Temple of the Goddess of the Earth has long been filled with smog, and only the lowly and poor would patronize this bird place full of sweat and bad wine.

With a bang, the door of the tavern was slammed open.

A man in a dark gold burly armor walked in. The black two-handed hammer in his hand was reflecting the light of the candle strangely, which made people feel palpitations.

Tywedes, who was playing cards, looked up and saw that it was the priest of the "Lord of Eternity" and the heir to the baron - Palick.The surrounding soldiers became a little timid. Some wanted to salute Palick, but Grimm was still in charge of the affairs in the territory. Some wanted to ignore it, but he was the heir of the territory after all. .For a while I didn't know what to do.

Everyone in the tavern stood there in silence.It was as if time had been frozen.

Tiwedes was racking his brains to figure out how to greet him, but he spoke first: "Tiwedes!"

His tone was full of irresistible command tone: "Now I order you, gather all soldiers immediately, bring the best weapons, and go kill that druid with me!"

All the people stared at him in unison, and a few even exclaimed: "He's crazy!"

Tiwedes laughed in surprise: "Hehehe, you won't tell a joke, right? The few of them are having a joke competition."

Palik's face was as firm as iron: "It's not a joke! This is an order! If you want to continue to be a knight in the future, if you don't want to be kicked out of this territory in the future, then obey my order-take everyone, we Now go and execute that unbelieving druid! The Lord will be pleased only if the blood of that pagan is shed!"

Tiwedes opened his eyes wide and slowly got up.His hands trembled slightly from the intense inner struggle.

He got up very slowly, and everyone in the room stared at him in a daze, quietly, as if they were puppets that didn't make a sound.When he finally stood up straight, he finally spoke with difficulty: "No! I will not go! I will not give this order either! If someone is willing to follow you, that is their own business."

Palik showed a sinister smile, and nodded slightly.Then he asked loudly: "Then who will follow me? Anyone willing to fight! The first person to stand up will be the knight of the future! Those who disobey the order will be punished by the Lord's righteousness in the future!" Those who exist between commoners and nobles are those who have the best chance of becoming nobles.Competition for this position is fierce!Countless people have fought with their lives for a lifetime but have not been promoted to knights.Palik's approach is equivalent to giving people a chance to ascend to the sky!

Everyone in the room kept looking at each other, but there was a hint of panic in their eyes.I don't know if it's because he's afraid of Dong Hezi, or because he's afraid of the future lord.

Still silent.

The light of a few candles flickered slowly, making Palik's heavy hammers in both hands look even darker.

"You guys are so courageous!" Palik sarcastically said, "Aren't you afraid of being kicked out of the territory? Don't you think you'll become bandits and barbarians in the future?"

Still no one said anything.

"Very good! Very good!" Palik sneered and "commented" and said: "You are all followers of Arik, right? His followers are indeed brave people. They are not afraid of being kicked out of the territory and starving to death!" After finishing speaking stride away.

"Let's talk about it when you come back with your life!" Tywedes slammed the cards in his hand on the table, cursing in a low voice.

Inside the Baron's small castle.

Grimm watched with mixed emotions as Flick diagnosed the unconscious old baron.He didn't want the Baron to wake up, but he didn't want the Baron to die either.It is in your best interest to maintain the current state, but how long can it last?

The future is so unpredictable that he feels very anxious.

If only the divination scroll was still there, at least he could know what to do next.

Flick took the pills from the old housekeeper's hand, these things were left by Dong He for the old baron to take.She said to Grimm, the old housekeeper, and others: "These medicines melt in the mouth, and they can be taken by the baron to extend his life. But I feel that his life has come to an end, and it is very difficult to wake up. Even These medicines can't last for a few days. You can only ask Dong Hezi to heal the baron after he completes his secret technique research. Only he can wake the baron up."

Grimm secretly delighted, maybe he could "discuss" with Master Dong Hezi so that his uncle would never "wake up"?

He was thinking secretly, but a soldier rushed in and reported to the old housekeeper: "Priest Palick rode out of the city overnight by himself, but his things were still left at Aisha's house."

All three people in the room asked, "Do you know what he is going to do?"

The soldier faltered and said: "I heard that he went to the tavern and asked all the soldiers to gather to kill Master Dong Hezi. Everyone refused, so he ran away on his own horse. Please ask someone to kill Master Dong Hezi."

"Ah?!" The three of them were shocked and angry.

"Who is he looking for outside?" Grimm said in great surprise: "He doesn't have an army to mobilize, and he can't go all the way to mobilize the believers of the Lord of Eternity to come here to conquer. Could it be to find that A high-level adventure team? Pushing Master Dong Hezi as a monster? He is too funny, heh heh heh, I think he is going to be in bad luck!"

"It's too reckless!" The old housekeeper yelled in shock and anger: "How can the power of Master Dong Hezi be compared to those brainless monsters? If Master Dong Hezi killed him in a fit of anger, even the baron would not It’s easy to say anything. Maybe the master will take his anger out on our town! Then there will be big trouble! I will immediately have someone chase him back. How can he be so messy?!”

Flick stood up quickly, and said in a hurry: "No matter what he is going out of the city, since he has already had bad intentions for the tutor, I think I should inform Le Lin and ask her to tell the tutor Dong Hezi to do a good job." Prepare."

The three dispersed with mixed emotions, and an invisible storm was quietly brewing.

Ten days later, on the hills outside the town of Harmonwell.

Palik, who was wearing mighty armor, got off his horse first, stood on a hill far away from the town, and looked towards the stone castle halfway up the hill.

A mighty heretic and fifty thousand gold pieces are there.Soon they will be on display at their feet!

The approval of the Lord, abundant wealth, and the power to rule will soon come to me!

Praise Almighty Lord, thank you for giving me such an opportunity.I will dedicate the rest of my life to make this land the Lord's pasture.

Almighty Lord, praise you.

He prayed silently in his heart.

The four people behind also got off their horses one after another, and carefully surveyed the distant stone castle.Estimate the strength of the target.

They are a 4-person adventure team, consisting of.They used to have brilliant combat records and a certain reputation. After laying a certain foundation, they turned to take over some moderately difficult tasks. Although the money is not a lot, it is better than living with their heads hanging on their belts.This time, it was because the priest in the team happened to be a believer in the Lord of Eternity, so he and Palick took over.Palik hired them for 8000 gold to kill a powerful druid.While tricky, the commission was so lucrative that it far outweighed the risks.People can not refuse its temptation.

Of course, if the opponent is a mage or a priest, then killing them would not dare to take up the job.

A mage wearing a silver headdress asked a warrior-like armored man next to him, "Is your crossbow ready? The opponent is a druid. Don't let him turn into a bird and run away."

"Don't worry." The middle-aged armored man patted the package hanging on the horse and said, "This is the latest crossbow. I have tried it many times, and it can shoot through heavy scale armor without any problem! I am worried that he will They turned into small animals like mice and rabbits and slipped away."

"Don't worry too." The mage, who is also a middle-aged man, took out a bottle of potion and said, "I also prepared this scent-tracking potion, as long as it is poured on him, it will emit a strong smell, which can't be washed off. !Even if it turns into an ant, we can recognize it. Hahahaha”

The two laughed together.

Palik calmly turned around and reminded: "Don't be too happy, I heard that this guy once killed a leader of a wolf man with 4th-level magic. He also used tricks to capture a storm bringer. This time we must Fully prepared! Are you all ready to defend against lightning spells?"

"Of course I'm ready." The mage said confidently and slowly: "Druid's killing spells are two kinds of lightning and fire, plus an ice storm of ice. We have prepared 4 elemental resistance spells , specifically to restrain his divine arts. As long as the fighters can withstand his attacks, everything will be fine."

Palick turned his head to look at another young priest, who replied: "The strengthening spells are all ready. Shield of piety, toughness of the bear, strength of the bull, divine power, freedom of movement, everything is available. I I also prepared two spells to weaken him." He turned to the mage again and said, "Actually, you don't need your scent-tracking potion. I also have a 'True Seeing' scroll, which can be added to the warrior so that he can see through it." The druid's metamorphosis."

The mage shrugged his shoulders and said, "That's okay, but I still advocate using scent to track potions. After all, there is only one true seeing technique, and it can only allow one person to see his true face. If he turns into a bird and flies away, and the soldier's crossbow doesn't shoot What should I do?"

Palik said in a deep voice: "True seeing and scent-tracking potion are both used! This time we can only succeed!"

The young priest smiled and said: "Of course it can be successful, but it's just a druid with a single spell. We have wiped out 30 dire wolves at a time, and we have also killed a team of Kirumo! In addition to you, the extra priest , it’s no wonder we lose.”

Not wanting to be forgotten, the wanderer who was sharpening his dagger with a knife interrupted, "Where are you resting tonight? Is there a better hotel in town? Is there a service girl in the tavern? I haven't touched a woman for six or seven days. I was a little nervous."

Palik waved his hand unquestionably: "No! We're not going to the town. Once we go, someone will inform the druid. So we'll sleep in the open under this hill tonight, and we'll have enough to eat tomorrow morning , Kill that druid in one fell swoop! Just like you killed the Kirum. Don’t have any worries, just push him as a monster.”

Everyone laughed and echoed: "Yes! Yes! Druids always turn into animals to fight, and just push him as a monster. Hahahahaha."

"We're going to push the monsters tomorrow!" The four of them cheered and shouted together, with momentum like a rainbow.It seemed as if victory was at hand.

It was night, and the five of them lit a bonfire on the side of the hill facing away from Harmonwell.

Then Palick walked up to the top of the hill alone, knelt down and prayed in the direction of Harmonwell.After checking the items and spells, the other four chatted around the small bonfire.

The middle-aged soldier first gnawed on the dried meat silently, and listened to the other three people chatting, and suddenly interrupted: "After I get the commission of 00 gold coins this time, maybe I will quit the team."

"Why?" Everyone asked in amazement: "Haven't you been doing well all the time? Did something happen?"

The middle-aged soldier tapped his old lobster-style armor slowly with his fingers, and said with a flat expression: "I am old. I went out for a living at the age of 16, and now I am 35 years old. The first half of my life has passed like this, but I don't even have a wife and children." .The money saved now is enough for me to live a prosperous life for the rest of my life. So I plan to quit and live my life quietly.”

The middle-aged mage next to him smiled and asked, "No way? Why did you become so depressed? When we formed this team together, you said you wanted to be a hero like Maiden Lacey, and return to your hometown after success Well. Now that you are also a level 10 fighter, the violent transformation of your body is about to begin, and there is still a lot of potential to be tapped! Why are you suddenly retreating?"

"It's not a sudden change of mind." The middle-aged soldier stroked his short beard and explained: "Actually, I had this idea a long time ago. You see, it will take at least 10 years for my body to completely become violent. At that time, I was almost 50 years old, so what if I became famous? Once I get old, I can’t enjoy anything. Besides, if I continue to fight, I may not live to be 50 years old. You mages don’t understand what we soldiers are under pressure."

The mage sneered and retorted: "We will add various auxiliary spells to you in every battle. When you go up, it's like chopping melons and vegetables and hitting a lot of enemies. What pressure is there?"

The middle-aged soldier shook his head with a smile and said: "You are talking about a substandard opponent. How can a real powerful opponent be so easy. Last time, when we wiped out that small group of sub-giant bandits, you Seeing that the situation was not right, I gave myself a flying spell and flew into the sky. Those sub-giants could only stare blankly, and I was besieged by them, and I almost lost my life! Speaking of which, every time you If the situation is not good, fly to the sky, leaving the enemies on the ground helpless. If it doesn’t work, you can use any door and teleportation to escape. But what about me? I can only bear it down below. How do you understand that kind of pressure? "

The mage was a little embarrassed, and a few times he did run away first.

The middle-aged soldier pointed at the rogue again and said, "And he, if he really can't win any time, he can slip away quietly. As for me, no matter whether I advance or retreat, I have to withstand the enemy's attack. The one who is most likely to lose my life is me."

"Don't make us so miserable." The young priest next to him quickly eased the atmosphere: "He and I have never left you alone!"

The middle-aged soldier shrugged his shoulders and said, "I'm just assuming. To be honest, you stand at the back of the line every time, and the risk you suffer is less than me. Now I just need to think about every battle. Scary as hell. This year I've had more and more nightmares."

The mage smiled and said: "We know, but I think you are scaring yourself. We have made full preparations and deployments before each battle, and we basically fight as expected. Besides, we rarely take over now. It's a difficult task, so how could something happen?"

The middle-aged soldier was silent for a while, but he sighed: "Alas... who knows what will happen in the future? Didn't the dragon-slaying hero Delifuqi die under the sticks of a few kobolds in the end? He was chopped up by them and cooked to eat! He is still the supreme warrior of Steel Heart Flow, and his equipment is ten times better than mine, but what is the result?"

Everyone was silent, the atmosphere was extremely quiet and dignified, and the crackling sound of the bonfire seemed to become harsh.

The middle-aged soldier sighed again and said: "So, we soldiers are the most insecure. Maybe one day I will drown if I fall into the gutter. I have been worried for more than ten years, and now I should Live the rest of the day with peace of mind."

He looked up at the sparse starry sky, as if muttering to himself: "Gods, thank you for allowing me to live until now. After this mission is over, I can end this tortured life of adventure. From now on From now on, I no longer have to hear the roar of those monsters that pierced my ears, I don’t have to endure the disgusting stench that makes people unable to eat for five days, and I don’t have to worry about my head being bitten by the huge teeth of monsters all the time You don’t need to lie down in the freezing snow in the middle of the night waiting for enemies who may not come, you don’t need to track those unknown little monsters through the rancid mud, and you don’t need to carry a mountain after suffering exhaustion. Continue to fight with heavy armor, don’t risk being blinded by dazzling spells, don’t worry about being mentally handicapped and can’t even calculate what one plus one equals, don’t be afraid of being charmed and become alive You don’t have to worry about being smashed into ice slag by the enemy’s frozen magic ball, and you don’t have to worry about your soul being sold everywhere as a soul gem by some devil.”

He took a big bite off a piece of dried meat and continued: "Yes! I don't have to live in fear anymore! From now on I will buy a manor, it doesn't matter how big or small it is. Then I will buy a few women and give birth to a large group of children for me. I will sleep in the house at night. In the thick warm quilt, there are several women warming my body. I can sleep as long as I want every morning! As soon as I open my eyes, I can see the delicious breakfast prepared by the servant. If I have nothing to do, I will go to the calm and fresh pond Go fishing in the forest, go to the woods with solid roads to shoot rabbits. Then call the people in the manor, and drive a big pot to have a lively picnic. Never put any shit and dried meat in the pot! I want fresh thornless Fish, delicious hen rabbit meat, strong wild boar meat, and tender duck meat are all cooked in a large pot. To which are added the freshest carrots, the largest winter melons, the most refreshing cabbage leaves, and many more Sweet and sour tomatoes for seasoning and a big pot of the most delicious broth. Damn it! I want to live this life tomorrow! I can't stand the shit now!"

He looked extremely agitated, gnawed on the dried meat fiercely, and never said a word.

The four of them did not speak, each thinking about his own thoughts.
