Chapter 20 The Difficult Enemy

The heavy birch shelf was smashed in mid-air, and Bart's tall figure like an iron tower was revealed in the flying sawdust.After smashing the wooden frame, Bart threw Kevin who was about to be strangled to death in the same way, wanting to give El the same return.

When it was thrown out of the shelf, El had already bent over, lowering his body almost parallel to the ground.Using both hands and feet, he stuck to the ground like a spider and ejected forward.Kevin, who was thrown over, flew over his head, and with the cover of his body, El accelerated again, dashed to Bart's feet with a stride, turned back and hooked his legs, tripping him to the ground.

Bart is tall but surprisingly dexterous. As soon as he fell to the ground, he habitually rolled to the side continuously. At the same time, he took out two daggers from his waist with both hands to protect his front and back.His movements were exceptionally quick, and the shot wound on his hand seemed to have no effect.El used his bow to try several times in a row but failed, and was almost scratched by a dagger on his arm.

Seeing the sly smile on Bart's face, Al knew he had miscalculated.Looking at this guy's tall stature, he felt that he was the kind of rough guy who relied on brute force, but he didn't expect that this big bear was actually a wanderer.Originally it was inconvenient for him to attack himself when he was standing, but now the close-to-body combat just gave full play to his advantages.As a hunter, he is good at long-distance combat, and he only got involved when he was dazzled by anger.Under the ebb and flow, he was unable to gain the upper hand.

The two rolled back and forth against the ground, bows and daggers clashing rapidly.El kicked Bart on the shoulder, but the guy was so rough and thick that he didn't respond, and just stabbed him with a backhand.The blade slashed across El's leg, but he dodged quickly, and a hole was torn on his pants.

El frowned, grabbed the wreckage of the tattered shelf on the ground, and threw it at Bart's face again.The last time he encountered such a difficult opponent was Cross, the ghoul leader of the Cursed Sect. That guy was skilled in swordsmanship. If he hadn't used his familiarity with the terrain to knock him off the cliff at that time, he might not have been able to get a bargain.Al wasn't a knight, so he never played by the rules in fights, but today he met someone even more unruly.

In the forest, El could play Bart a hundred tricks.And here is crowded with people, he really can't use it.After fighting head-to-head for a few rounds, and finding that there was nothing he could do about this big black guy, El couldn't help thinking of something else.Taking advantage of the opportunity to dodge Bart's dagger, he dodged and squeezed into the surrounding crowd of onlookers.

During the short period of time when the two fought each other, the group fighting in the firm had gradually subsided.The fists and feet of these two people are too heavy, and ordinary people will be seriously injured if they accidentally rub them.Al and Bart rolled around on the floor, surrounded by wailing wounded.No one dared to stay beside them, so they were forced to separate and stood on both sides to watch coldly.

El dodged and hid in the ranks on the side of Master Bajar, causing a commotion immediately.The guards yelled and pushed forward, while Master Bajar backed away in panic, the scene was chaotic.

"Why are you running, you little bastard! Play two more laps with me?" Bart stood up, licking his dagger and showing a bloodthirsty smile.He could see that the kid still had reservations, but he was not without cards.But today, after all, I came here to ask for debts. If someone is killed because of red eyes, it will not end well for either side.Seeing El pounced on Master Bajar, he thought about it, but he didn't catch up.

Master Bajar's intestines are green with regret, and he himself knows that Jupiter is not easy to be subdued, so in addition to his own guards, he also specially hired Bart, a ruthless man who has been in prison, to suppress the field.Unexpectedly, Jupiter did not know where to find such a ruthless evil star.He ran outside, and naturally all the guys who followed him also ran out.

When he ran out and looked back, he couldn't help twisting his nose in anger, but El didn't chase out at all.Until now, El actually didn't know the cause of the incident. He thought that Bart was the leader of this group of people.I wanted to lure him to a suitable place for another fight, but I didn't expect this guy to be cunning and shrewd, so he didn't chase him.After bringing down the four guards, El stopped helplessly and confronted Bart six to seven meters away.

"Stop it!" Jupiter, who was rescued, pushed George who was standing in front of him, and shouted loudly.He stared at Bart, and then looked at Bajar outside.

"Bajar, since you have done absolutely nothing today, I will admit it. Don't you just want my batch of orange incense trees to pay off the debt? Let's settle the score now! From now on, you and I will be endless enemies!"

"Hahaha, you'll be fine if you think this way earlier?" Master Bajar covered his eyes and took a few steps forward, with a look of success on his face.During the fight just now, the box storing orange fragrant wood in the firm was also lifted, revealing the neatly arranged wood inside.He stared greedily at the logs and smacked his lips.

"The current market price of a twenty-jin piece of orange fragrant wood is forty gold coins..." Jupiter said.

"Wait a minute, the market price? Brother Jupiter, why should the unsold goods be calculated at the market price?" Master Bajar shook his head and sneered: "Don't think I don't know the price of the place of origin. Ten gold coins a piece You dare to pay four times the price for inferior wood. You are really black-hearted. I think you brought back a hundred pieces of wood this time. If you calculate it at ten gold coins, it will just make up for the thousand gold coins you owe me. You are pitiful, the interest I'm free, how about it?"

"You're dreaming!" The old businessman rolled his eyes, turned around and was about to go back to get the knife.Today, he wanted to take a step back and make peace with the troubles like this, but the other party refused to let him go, and he was making trouble for no reason.

El took a deep look at Bajar, and finally understood the general situation from what the two had just said.He grabbed Jupiter and asked in a low voice with doubts: "Boss, why can't you get a thousand gold coins?"

The old businessman smiled wryly and shook his head: "It is impossible for us as businessmen to keep a large amount of cash in our hands. We are not afraid of thieves stealing it or worrying about it. We are not short of money, and the things in your hand are more than this amount." .But we just came back and before we started selling, this old ghost came to our door. He didn't ask for money at all, but wanted to ruin me."

"How much can you make up now?" El weighed in his heart, and whispered in his ear.

The old businessman put on a bitter face and counted with his fingers: "Everything has come together, what the hell! I only have two hundred gold coins in my account, and I can squeeze out seventy if I force it together. But if you want That old devil who takes cash will definitely have to calculate interest again."

"He was just making trouble for no reason." El was very puzzled by the old businessman's strange attitude, seeing that he just looked scrupulous about something.

Jupiter looked at Bart who was blocking the door, sighed and did not speak.El nodded, untied his waist pocket, took out two wallets from his pocket, and put them in the hands of the old businessman.

Jupiter's eyes lit up, and he quickly opened it for a glance, and couldn't help but gasped.The corner of his mouth twitched and looked at El: "Where did you rob?"

"Don't worry about where you came from, let's talk about it after passing this level." El rubbed his nose and said with a dry smile.The source of his money is really not very clean.One bag of gold coins was his own savings, one bag was the bounty from that little boy of Cross, and the other bag was the spoils looted from the corpse of the cursed priest.In total, there are at least more than 200 gold coins and more than a dozen gems, which are worth more than this amount as a large amount of currency in circulation.

Jupiter gritted his teeth, and slapped his thigh: "Go all out, dig out my girl's dowry, no matter how I can make up a thousand gold coins. Back then, I was fond of gambling, and her mother was afraid that I would ruin the family business, so she gave it to her." I hid a sum of money and asked me to swear to Ludern that I would never use it. After today, I will make up for her twice, and then I will go to the temple to repent."

El laughed. Just now, the old businessman would rather risk his life than use the money left to his daughter. It can be seen that he is indeed a good person who values ​​feelings.The money was easy to come by, and he would not regret helping those who were pleasing to the eye.He believes in the character of the old businessman, and he will not treat himself badly in the future.

When the old businessman put the box full of gold coins outside, Master Bajar's face was extremely exciting.Trembling, he pointed at the old businessman's nose and subconsciously asked the same sentence: "Where did you rob?"

"Hold it if you want it, and get out if you don't!" Jupiter spit on the ground with his eyes wide open: "Even the principal and interest, a penny is a lot. Bajar, from now on Istaron has me Without you, let's wait and see!"

Bajar snorted, this time he did not lose money by stealing chickens.The thousand gold coins are really nothing in the eyes of big businessmen of their level.This time, he didn't seize the opportunity to beat the old guy to death with a stick, and he added another life-and-death enemy.

He was holding the cash box, his eyes were rolling around, and he was desperately winking at Bart, obviously still unwilling to give up.Bart folded his arms and sneered, turning his head to look at El.

El turned back the hunting bow calmly, then took out the logging ax and shook it symbolically.To say that the melee weapon he is good at is still the axe, but this thing is a heavy weapon, and it will kill people if you are not careful.He was confident that he could kill Bart, but he might also be stabbed himself.There is no personal enmity between the two, so why not think about it.

"Do you have anything else to do?" El countered back with the same sharp eyes, and asked coldly.

"There is indeed something to do." Bart glanced at the old businessman, opened his mouth and showed a ferocious smile: "But let's forget about it today, Mr. Bart is not unreasonable. You son of a bitch, we will have a chance to see you later."

"No need, I will make an appointment at night and I will rinse your mouth for you." El retorted.

After each of them said meaningless scenes, Master Bajar led the people away in a desperate manner.The shop guys consciously started to tidy up.Because they had been beaten a lot, most of them looked downcast.However, after all, the firm survived, and the old businessman held up the scene. This made the young people feel disappointed, but also saw hope for the future.

This weird farce came and went in a hurry, and the only thing that caught El's attention was the old businessman's weird attitude.He knew that this matter was definitely not as simple as what he knew now.

Human cities can also be seen as dangerous forests, and El still doesn't know where he is on the food chain, so he needs to learn more about this society.
