The Troublesome Hero Among the Heroes

A crooked moon hung in the sky, and the night breeze on the river was quite cool on a hot summer day. The guests on the boat leaned or lay down into their dreamland accompanied by the sound of the waves on the side of the boat.

Most of the people who take the boat at night are small businessmen. They board the boat at night and sleep on the boat, and they can start their day's work when they disembark at the dawn of the second day.

Today, the ship was pulling wool felt from the kingdom of Bischberg to Milan. When it set off in the evening and returned to the city of Messina on the other side of Bischberg, no customers were found, so the captain decided to bring the guests back.

A horse snorted, Charles tied the rope to the empty straw bucket and drank a bucket of water by the boat to drink the horse.

After he was taken away by Mancini as a Meazza, the horse and carriage were taken by Altria to Milan, and then stored in a stable dedicated to raising horses for the caravan.

This horse has been raised in Milan for a period of time. This time it got fat again when it came out, but it will get tired afterwards. The place in the Bischberg Kingdom is mountainous.

Today, there are two carriages on this boat. In addition to Charles, there is also a young man in his early twenties.

This young man's horse is taller than Charles's, but it doesn't have much fat.

Their horses were to be pulled close to the stern of the boat as requested by the captain, and Charles took the opportunity to chat with him.

Charles asked: "Dude, what are you making recently?"

The young man said, "I also sell some sulfur. The price this year is higher than in previous years. I will take advantage of it now. Earn a little."

Sulfur is also used in the folks of this world for insect-controlling and external medicine. At that time, its consumption will be very large, and the price increase is normal.

When the horse drank the water, Charles hung the barrel back to the carriage, then climbed onto the slime tarp in the car and lay down, then counted the stars and got ready to go to sleep.

The wheat will be harvested in one or two months in the north. The Bischberg Kingdom is earlier. The newly harvested wheat is afraid of being drenched by rain, so farmers will buy tarps just in case. .

Similarly, caravans also need tarpaulins to cover their supplies. The city of Milan, where the caravans are endless, naturally also has workshops that produce tarps.

This year, Ji Shijun produced two-meter-wide linens. These linens are not only wider than previous linens, but also stronger and denser.

The workers in the workshop put several pieces of linen side by side and sew them together with strong twine, then pour the slime glue that has just been boiled at a very high temperature, and then use a high-temperature roller to flatten it. , Let the slime glue seep into the linen before cooling.

This slime tarp with a length and width of 10m×10m is very popular. Many farms will buy a batch before the autumn harvest, and some workshops that make tents will buy these tarps for processing. Into a tent.

So when Charles left Milan this time, he bought a batch of slime tarps and planned to sell them in the Kingdom of Bischberg.

Lying on these waterproof cloths is like lying on rubber and plastic insulation cotton, with a little elastic under the body.

Charles lay there looking at the strange stars on the firmament, recognizing the names of those stars.

The boat drove up against the current by the north wind, and the monotonous sound of water was like a lullaby, making Charles quickly fall asleep.

He did not log on to the Dreamland platform tonight, but was going to sleep purely.

I don't know how long it took, angry roar awakened Charles.

I saw that the boat had stopped in the middle of the river, and there were no other boat lights on the front, back, left, or right. Several sailors on the ship stood all around with a long sword and surrounded the passengers. The captain was standing on the stern ship with a broad sword.

The captain yelled: "Give all the money you have to Lao Tzu, and Lao Tzu will put you on the shore, otherwise Lao Tzu will throw him into the water!"

Charles squeezed Pinching his brows, didn't expect encountered a water pirate.

He has heard about pirates before. Some pirates usually solicit passengers and goods. If there is no such thing as adventurers on the ship, they will give passengers to them when there is no one. Robbed.

These all are people who are well-watered escaped and said that they were impossible to put back on the shore. They asked the passengers to take the money out but didn't bother to search for the corpse.

Today's guests on this ship met these conditions. Charles was dressed as a small businessman, but he didn't even take out his equipment.

There were about ten passengers on the ship and six pirates, enough to scare ordinary businessmen into trembling.

The surface of the river all around was dark, and the originally cool river breeze suddenly made people feel gloomy.

Charles was relaxed. Fortunately, the pirate stopped the boat. Otherwise, no one would sail the boat. Maybe the boat drifting along the river would hit the reef by the river.

Before the captain of the pirate threatened again, Charles on the carriage waved his hands like bee wings, and in an instant he thrust a flying knife into the pirate's chest.

The captain of the water pirate did not react before Charles appeared in front of him, and then hit his stomach with a punch. Before he could fly out, Charles grabbed him. His ankle threw him heavily onto the ship's deck.

From the beginning of the robbery to Charles tying the captain, the guests on the ship didn't react at all without a cigarette.

After cleaning up the water pirates, Charles moved towards the sky and threw a few Fireballs. Those Fireballs rose into the air like fireworks and exploded.

He didn't expect a day when he talked about distress signals with the boatman.

Only then did the passengers on the ship reacted and came over to thank Charles.

Charles just slapped a cockroach to death with slippers, calmly let everyone not worry, and at the same time reported his name.

These businessmen who traveled north and south have naturally heard of "Yuan Ba ​​Hundred", and the flattery sound was constantly heard.

Charles asked everyone to rest. He dragged the pirate captain to the stern to torture him, to see if he could find out the location of their lair.

As a result, the water thief asked: "Will you let me go after I said?"

Charles looked at him speechlessly and said, "I just said that. If you throw into the water, it's up to you to survive."

So the pirate made a move. It is not a problem to use his water to get downstream to the shore while being tied up.

The pirate’s nest is in a tributary on the north shore a few kilometers west of this place. That tributary is only ten kilometers long. The source is all mountains, so no one found the water village there.

After inquiring about the situation of the water village in detail, Charles grabbed the rope on the pirate's body and lifted him up. After turning on the power buff, he used all his strength and slammed him head down into the water. inside.

In the following time, Charles moved towards throwing Fireball into the sky every ten minutes or so for help, and a boat coming downstream found them more than half an hour later.

The captain of that ship sent a few sailors to help and drove the ship to the city of Messina in the southeast corner of the Kingdom of Bischberg.

Countries along the river are fighting pirates, and the captain will get a little reward for his efforts.

At dawn, Charles and their passenger ship docked at the port of Messina, and the city defensemen were quickly called on board to handle the matter.

The officer was very happy when he saw the five dead bodies that had been killed by flying knives and one that had been smashed into the water with a broken neck. He wondered if he could get the credit.

But Charles, who did not hide his identity, disillusioned the officer. Now the status of someone in the Bischberg kingdom is quite strange. He is not the kingdom’s noble, but many nobles can be happy to help. One problem, these problems include, but are not limited to, killing a little Knight who doesn't open his eyes.

In the eyes of ordinary people, Lord Knight is worthy of respect and sometimes can only be regarded as high-quality cannon fodder in the noble circle.

It seems to be to make up for the mistake of implying that Charles was doing credit. With the efforts of that little officer, the story of Charles' fight against the pirates on the ship quickly spread throughout the city of Messina.

Charles didn't care about this, he came here this time with the intention of gaining prestige.
