Chapter 9 Chapter 6 Adventure Team

It was almost dawn when Kant woke up. He ran frantically in the forest, but couldn't find Yundi who was taken away by the demons, and his heart was full of sadness. Has that lovely girl been cut open by a sharp knife now?He hardly dared to think about it.He wanted to run wildly, but the branches and leaves of countless bushes in front of him blocked him and pulled him. He couldn't even overcome these branches, and even a bush could laugh at his powerlessness. After daybreak, the tired Kant finally found his way back to the city, and he rushed into the soldiers' guild eagerly. "I need help! Several demons have taken away a beautiful woman! Is there any brave volunteers? We need to search in the forest."

"Demons? There were no demons three hundred years ago." The rough-looking swordsmen leaning on the table laughed. "Is this the guy looking at the theater poster on the wall to save the princess from the dragon's claws?" "How much can you pay us?" "I think he has a treasure in the Dragon Cave." Then there was a wild laugh, and people always laughed at everything they could because they were so strong and so full of energy. Kant was stunned, turned around and walked out slowly, the laughter behind him was still ringing, Kant suddenly turned his head and cursed: "You pigs in the pigsty, you are also considered swordsmen?"

The swordsmen quickly proved themselves to be formidable, and Kant was beaten and thrown into the street. Lying on his back, he saw the flow of people in the city passing by, and the slow movement of clouds in the blue sky.Suddenly something moved in his hand. It turned out that a wheel had crushed on the wooden sword he was still holding tight, and the wooden sword jumped out of his hand and was kicked away by the pedestrian.Kant struggled to get up to get the sword, but it was kicked further and further away. Laughter rang out in the street again. The wooden sword was kicked to a pair of bare feet, the man bent down to pick it up, came to Kant and handed it back to him.

Kant grabbed the sword suddenly, and suddenly realized that it had turned into a splintered piece of wood. He waved his hand and tried to throw it violently, but he slowly took it back.He gripped the wooden handle tightly, as if trying to crush it. The man squatted down, he was the little tramp Kostin, and handed out half of the bread to Kant. "Eat it, it's a good thing. It's got butter on it. I managed to snatch half of it from that dog in the street." "I can't eat your rations, I'm not hungry," said Kant, his stomach was terribly hungry, but now he had no appetite.

"You have nothing now, just hang out with me in the future. A helpless outsider like you is often like this in this city. Don't be sad, just get used to it." "I can support myself and I'm going to the jungle to rescue the girl." "You have fallen into fantasies again. Maybe those are your fantasies. Go to that girl's house and have a look. Maybe she is just sitting at home. Get rid of those fantasies and find a job." Work?Kant closed his eyes, Kant carrying water, Kant selling firewood, Kant repairing orchards, Kant pulling carts, Kant digging ditches, Kant playing monkeys appeared in front of his eyes... He shook his head and took all these scenes out of his mind He thought of Kant riding a flying horse on flames, wearing a golden battle armor, and flying a few dragons behind him. That was the image of a knight he saw in a yellowed ancient book without a cover when he was a child. , he replaced the portrait with himself.The old man in the village told the story of King Fan Kedel's flying knight according to the book, but unfortunately he didn't know the name of the book. He always called the story book "The Legend of Ruo Xinghan Knight".

At this time, a burst of piano sounded, and someone began to sing a ballad: This is the day I finally go to battle like a knight Beloved girl her tears fell on my scabbard I'm going to tell the world about her beauty Her name shines everywhere I walk "Oh, if the phoenix knight's expedition aria in the Xinghan ancient scroll, it's rare to hear someone sing it so well." Kant thought, and felt that the pain was relieved a lot. He propped up his body and slowly walked towards the singer: "Traubador, now only your song can give me strength..." "Huh? A road sign?" exclaimed the singer.

"Are you...a big-headed mushroom?" "The demon magic on my head is gone." Ron said angrily. "And you? Are you done with the road sign?" Kant endured the pain and sat down next to him: "I have encountered many things... Now, I need help to save a girl, but no one believes me." "What did you encounter?" "A beautiful and savage demon who said she was looking for a man named Kant to be her master. Then there were two vicious but poor-mouthed demons who robbed my beloved girl." "Come on, paranoid! Aren't these the most common plots in those third-rate knight novels? You must have seen the madness at the rental book stand. I despise liars the most. Where is your beauty? Where is it? I Instead, I met a beautiful woman who grew out of fallen leaves..." Ron suddenly remembered the experience of being trampled on, and found himself wanting to cry, "Oh, let's not talk about it, I don't like to show off little things."

"Even you don't believe me? Look at the spar on my forehead!" "Well, it's pretty pretty... where did you pick it up?" "I...why should I lie to you?" Kant jumped anxiously. Ron looked into Kant's eyes for a while and said, "Okay, after I finish singing this song, we may need some money to hire some mercenaries." Kant then fell tiredly beside the singer.His body was cold and numb, and hunger gradually soaked through his body like a poison from his stomach.He was a little dazed, only his eyes were still shining with hope. At this time, he heard the clear sound of the piano, and Ron sang the ballad again:

Oh I never know what tomorrow will hold Toil is endless and noble, I also yearn for it But I chose to go to the silent desolation Just to pick a rose like no other in the world for that girl But has the beautiful woman who turns around the seasons forgotten me? In this dark night I can only look up only the stars shine "If what you said is true," a group of people surrounded Kant and Ron in the tavern, "then the blonde girl represents your yearning for pure love, and the witch represents your indulgent desire. As for the two vicious The demons in the world snatched your girl, which means you don't have confidence in your own charm."

"What have you heard? We are now looking for someone to fight the demons and rescue a woman from the future." Kant shouted angrily. "Why aren't you doing psychological test questions?" "Yeah, let's announce the answer!" "Go away! You poor, boring drunks!" Ron snarled angrily. When the crowd dispersed, Kant sighed: "Is it true that no one believes us?" "In these days, without money, no one would be willing to sacrifice their lives just for a few words of yours." "So how much does it cost to hire a mercenary team?"

"Well, according to the abilities of the two demon fighters you described, I think they are at least equivalent to the 40th-level fighters judged by our warrior guild. In this case, two fighters of the same 40th-level need eight About a thousand gold coins..." "Eight thousand gold coins? It's enough to cast two people out of gold!" "Of course, do you know how difficult it is to reach the standard of a fortieth-level fighter? Some people can only reach the twenties after ten years of hard training." "Then what should we do? When we earn money, the girl's children should grow up and marry." "It seems that we have to change the way of telling stories..." "Hey! You guys, pay for the drink first!" Suddenly the voice of the hotel owner came. Kant was so frightened that he immediately slid under the table. "It doesn't seem to mean us?" Ron looked at the other side. "Boss, don't do this, we will have money soon." There were several swordsman-like people sitting at a table in the corner, and one of them was a young blond man smiling. "You said the same thing yesterday..." "Reed, you said that there are many bounty missions in Kilogang City, so we came with you. It's good now, the money for the hotel is gone." A big man strangled the blond man's neck Shaking, he sat on three chairs, his palms were bigger than the face of the blond man Reed. "Amos, it's useless to strangle him." A short swordsman with a sword taller than a man said. "Xitan still makes sense." Reid rolled his eyes in the palm of the big man Amos. "We should sell Reed to the mine to work as a coolie, and let him pay us back the travel expenses!" The sensible Xitan continued to propose. "I'm your captain...cough...cough..." Reed shouted. "The captain who can't lead everyone to make money is the one to vent his anger on!" "Hey, these days the demons don't appear anymore, the dragons can't be found, and even a vampire can't be seen. It's really hard to be a swordsman. At least a magician can do tricks to make money. We swordsmen can only do tricks." Off to dig coal and build roads." Ron winked at Kant and said loudly, "My friend, what happened to the treasure of the Demon King you just mentioned?" "Ah?" Kant was taken aback, and immediately understood, "This...it's nothing, but a girl told me that she knew where the devil's treasure was. But before she finished speaking, she was captured by two scary guys. I think there are other people who will also fight for this treasure." The people at the noisy table in the corner suddenly stopped talking, and Ron knew that their ears were all pricked to this side. "Oh, it's a pity, if we can find and defeat those two demons, we can get this treasure, but unfortunately we don't have this ability." "If someone can help us win this treasure, it's even half a share with them." Kant sighed loudly. The big man over there couldn't help but was about to stand up and walk over, but the blond Reed stopped him and motioned him to sit down and hold his breath. At this time, someone from another table suddenly spoke: "May I ask why the demons you mentioned came to the ground?" Kant looked in the direction of the speaker. There was a swordsman in black sitting beside a wooden table. He had a thin face and looked tall, but he always seemed unwilling to raise his head to look at people. The cowhide shoulder guard There is a strange blue color to the wristbands, which is because they have been soaked in potions. This seems to be the attire of Dothvia hunters from the northwest. "Finally someone will believe me?" Kant said happily, "I saw two demons, I know it sounds ridiculous, the demons have not appeared on the ground for three hundred years, who knows if they are still there Alive in the ground, but I'm sure I saw two demons." "Do you know what they are going to do here?" the hunting suit swordsman asked. "I don't know, but they seem to claim to be from some demon seraph army?" "Oh? This is a very famous demon army in the temple war three hundred years ago. Are you sure that someone is not playing a prank?" "The behavior and fighting skills of those two people are indeed quite special. Their armor doesn't look like a cheap fake." "If you are willing to use your personality to guarantee that what you said is true, I am willing to help you find those two demons. My name is Duris." The hunter said. "This is great!" Kant stood up excitedly. The desolate mercenary group on the other table couldn't hold back anymore, the big man Amos jumped over, and the floor shook: "Then you said just now, as long as someone helps you find those two demons, you can get the demon king." Is it true that the treasure is divided in half?" "Idiot Amos, at least 70%!" Blonde Reed shouted from behind. "I just want to rescue the girl who was captured by them, share the treasure with you," Kant shouted. Duris on the other table stood up with a sneer: "I'm not interested in treasures either, I just want to see the two demons that appeared." So a temporary troop of treasure hunting and saving the U.S. Army was established. The members included Kant, the wooden sword knight, Ron, the bard singer, Duris, the lone hunter in hunting suit, and the blond Reed, the big barrel Amos and the down-and-out mercenary group. The little dagger hunter Sitan. "But where do we go to find those demons?" Xitan asked, "Should we stand in the middle of the square and call them? Or post missing persons notices?" "If it's really the demons, there must be an unusual mission to come back to the ground after a long time?" Duris said. "Yes," Kant said, "they mentioned a mission, but I don't know what it is. We were talking about demons, and those two demons appeared like magic." Duris seemed to be thinking about something. "Okay," said the blond Reed, "in this case, let's make a prediction, maybe those two demons will walk in from outside the tavern immediately." Suddenly the door of the tavern was slammed open, and everyone was startled.But it was a female archer who rushed in. "I am Joanna from the ancient knight castle of Smara. I need help! A terrible dark force has invaded there!" Seeing everyone looking at her, the female archer shouted angrily, "Is anyone listening to me?" Indeed no one was paying attention to what she had to say, all were busy admiring her little pair of red moccasin boots, and then her slender legs with their sun-kissed complexion, wrapped in a leather skirt, tied in a red A quiver inlaid with a copper bird pattern is hung on the ribbon, and on it is the curve and flexible waist that the short archer suit cannot cover, and on it is... "Oh! Why did you hit me!" Kant yelled, covering his eyes. "What are you looking at?" The female archer had already jumped in front of him, pointing at everyone, "Did you hear what I said? This matter is urgent!" "What do you mean by the dark forces invading the ancient castle of Smara?" the black-robed swordsman Duris asked with great interest. "I don't know, it seems that I have been cursed by some terrible curse or shrouded by some dark star power. The whole castle has become very scary! All kinds of demon flowers and magic vines that can only be seen in evil places are engulfed Once there, there are evil spirits wandering around in every uninhabited corner, bats, and all kinds of strange things...all of them came out at once." "Is this related to the treasure of the demon king you mentioned?" The blond Reed grabbed Kant. "I think there must be some connection between these." Kant became excited and then uneasy. "Okay, exorcising monsters is our unshirkable duty as swordsmen!" Reid jumped up, "But wait... the reward is not high." "If you can drive away the monsters in the castle, the reward... fifty gold coins!" Joanna shouted. "Okay, let's make a deal first, and we will take 70% of this." Reed looked at Kant and Ron. Duris began to sneer. "What do you have to say?" Reed asked angrily. "Fifty gold coins? Something that can trigger such a surge of dark power in a certain place, perhaps something that neither heroic knights nor archmages can defeat..." Duris clenched the knife in his black robe. At this time, they didn't notice that there were strange magical ripples on the floor under the table. The dwarf Az, who had kidnapped Ron, stuck his head out from the ground, listening with relish, and showing a weird smile.
