Chapter 17 chapter Five
Early the next morning, I put the washbasin in front of me and started washing my face, almost crying.
"I never knew a washbasin was such an important thing!"
And there is soap in the bathroom.I have only heard of this precious thing, but now I want to use it, but I have worked hard for a long time.This thing is really hard to hold.Shan Sen smiled when he saw me like this, but his face seemed to be a little anxious.When he went to breakfast, he also walked, looking around absently.
We got up early, so there were no customers in the restaurant yet.Yusna deliberately pretended not to see us when we entered, and continued to wipe the other tables.
"Hey, Yusna! People who are as insensitive as you are, of course they will be dumped by men."
"You want to make trouble early in the morning?"
Yusna lost her temper again.I said without hesitation:
"I want to order food, bread and soup, any kind."
Carl and Shan Sen also ordered meals.Shan Sen looked at the entrance of the restaurant anxiously, but Carl didn't seem to notice Shan Sen's appearance. He looked around and found a large piece of paper on the other table, so he picked it up and read the contents.
"what is that?"
"It's a magazine, brother Niederfa."
"Magazine?"
"This is a weekly magazine, which records what happens in this city every week, and can be used to deliver news to people in the village."
"Is it something like our lord's proclamation?"
"No, this is something issued by the citizens. It records who's cow is missing, whose birthday is this Tuesday, or the news of the war with Jeppen in the south, etc. It's quite interesting. This article is' Jeppen Why is the navy strong in military capabilities?' editorial!"
"Well, even I know the reason. Because there are many deserts, so I have to develop to the sea, right?"
Carl made a very satisfied expression for my answer.
"It's amazing! Brother Niederfa. Anyway, they got the news from the travelers and published it here. And they can also charge money for selling this magazine."
"Huh! You mean somebody's going to pay for this? Hey! Just ask somebody, don't you?"
"The price will not be very expensive. And this city is much bigger than our hometown, so it is difficult to spread all the news. Look! Look at this advertisement. It is the news of the Calambel Temple in Mount Hertz. In the Calambel Temple There is winter catechism research, and interested citizens can be trainee students in winter to participate in the exploration of Kalambel together. The autumn harvest is over, and there is no busy farming in the temple now, so of course you can do catechism research.”
"Oh, this kind of news, can't it just be announced...!"
"Because this city is very big, those who want to tell the news can pay the magazine and then ask to publish it. And this is not a territory, it is a city. If the city government and other organizations have something to tell the citizens, You can also give money to magazines and ask them to publish it. So the price of the magazine will not be too expensive.”
"But anyway, isn't paper very expensive?"
"Well, it may be that the magazine signed a contract with the temple, and the temple will provide the paper. The temple publishes the news at a cheap price."
Carl smiled.I couldn't help but shook my head and said:
"It's amazing. If it weren't for this trip, maybe I would never know that there is such a thing as a magazine."
Yusna, who was wiping the table beside her, giggled after hearing what I said.Hum, yeah, I'm ignorant.What if you grew up in the same place as Hetant Land?Karl said:
"Travel often brings new knowledge, which is the pleasant gift of travel."
"Hmm. Ah! Then we can sell news to magazines."
"what?"
"'The Ninth Amtar Feature War defeated.' What do you think?"
"This is a good idea, but the king should be informed first. Things are in order, so they should be reported to the king first."
Then came another voice.
"You said the king's dragon was defeated?"
We, who were immersed in the chat, didn't notice Iluli walking over.After sitting at our table, Iluli asked again:
"Who did the king's dragon fight and defeat?"
Who?Well, why not ask "what"?Why ask "Which one"?This question seems a bit strange.Carl replied:
"What a refreshing morning! Miss Xie Renier, since you have heard our conversation, you must already know that we have to report to His Royal Highness first."
"That is not my king."
Iluli lightly pointed out Karl's mistake.Carl smiled apologetically and said:
"I'm sorry, Miss Sherenelle. Kasaiple was defeated by Amtat."
"Caseple is referring to the white dragon next to Harshtel?"
"Oh, you know very well."
Ellie's expression looked cautious.
"Speaking of Amtat... the watcher of the setting sun, the black window of Hoganes, Amtat is also the name of this black dragon. Is it awake?"
Huh?What's the meaning?Is it awake?When did it fall asleep?But Karl only replied flatly:
"Yes, it awoke fifty years ago."
"yes?"
What a strange thing.Hasn't the fairy lady known the news for fifty years?I really wanted to ask her, but at this moment Yusna came with breakfast.Yusna saw that Iluli was sitting at the same table as us, so she asked:
"What would you like for breakfast?"
"Bread and milk."
Yusna immediately brought the things over.The ordering is a little easier, and the food is served faster.I don't know if the elves can talk while eating, so they kept quiet, while Shan Sen kept looking at Iluli eating with admiring eyes.Is it really worth watching this kind of action all the time?To be able to watch other people eat with such concentration!I kicked Shan Sen's foot under the table to warn him, and he hurriedly started eating his own breakfast.But after a while, he held up the spoon and looked at Iluli without moving. He didn't even know that the soup dripped from the spoon and wet the table.God!I can't stand it anymore.Yi Luli also saw Shan Sen like this, she said in surprise:
"Mr. Shanmori, the soup is on the table!"
"Huh? Oh, sorry!"
What's the matter? I'm sorry?I'm really going crazy.Yi Luli also looked at Shan Sen in surprise, while Shan Sen put his face close to the plate, buried his head in panic and began to eat his food.
Yusna's brother, that bearded boy's cooking skills are really good.I drank the soup to the end, and couldn't help but want to lick the soup plate, and I tried my best to restrain it.I might have actually done it if Yusna hadn't been looking at me mockingly.After quietly eating breakfast, Yusna asked us what we would like for dessert.Everyone ordered juice, only Carl ordered coffee.What is coffee?After a while, Yusna brought a cup of something black and smoking.Since it was served in a cup, it looked like tea or something.
Carl drank his coffee happily.
"Wow, it's been a long time since I had coffee."
What the hell is that?tasty?After absent-mindedly drinking the juice, I ordered another cup of coffee from Yusna.Yusna looked at me as if she thought it was ridiculous, then immediately brought a cup of coffee, and put it in front of me with an overly cautious gesture.I took a sip of that thing, and Shan Sen who was looking at me from the side asked curiously:
"Hey, Xiu Qi, is that delicious?"
I didn't answer him, so he made an even more curious expression.I couldn't answer him because I made a very ominous reasoning. Soon, I looked at Yusna excitedly.
"You... Yousna! You want to poison me?"
After a while of commotion, I realized under Carl's explanation that it was not the smell of being drugged, but the original taste of this thing.Yusna's eyes became colder, while Shan Sen kept laughing until he couldn't breathe.What a shame, what a shame!But why would people want to drink this stuff? Anyway, after we finished eating, we went outside.Shansen and Iluli are going to buy horses, and Carl and I are going to the market to buy things.But Iluli thinks it's better for all of us to go together.She also has something to buy herself, so I suggest everyone go together.I borrowed a cart from Yusna, and Yusna took it out muttering as if I might break it. "Are you going to the market to buy something?" "Ok." Yusna's expression became worse, and she said with suppressed anger: "Hmph! Why do I just want to go to the market? Come with me!" "Oh, is it? That's very nice! But you want to go to the market alone? There must be a lot of shopping in this big hotel?" "Huh! Redneck. Just order and they'll ship it here." "Oh really?" Thanks to Yusna's guidance, we found the market very easily.Yusna parted ways with us as soon as she arrived at the market. We bought flour, dried meat, bacon, a little greens to cook and eat tonight, salt and all.The prices here are quite low, unimaginable cheap prices in our village.Especially the price of paper is unimaginably low.I was pestered by Carl to buy a lot of paper.Paper should be useful everywhere!At least something to keep track of.I bought a pen and ink by the way, put them in the cart, and asked with a happy expression: "Why are things so cheap?" Carl replied with a smile. "The things in our village are too expensive. That's because merchants don't come in and out of our village very much. However, Reynolds City has the waterway of the Xiudorn River and is also the gateway of the Central Avenue, so there are a lot of goods. Of course, the price will be very cheap. " "If we eliminate Amtat, our village will become the gateway city of the Central Avenue. At that time, the goods in our village will also increase and the prices will become cheaper, right?" Carl just smiled quietly.At this time, Iluli said: "Xiu Qi, do you want to destroy Amtat for the sake of happiness and abundance?" "I want to eliminate Amtat in order not to be so miserable." It seems that Iluli didn't understand what I said.But I don't want to discuss Amtat while shopping for pleasure.How does my father live now?Possibly imprisoned in goblin caves and fed unpalatable food.Damn it!But I'm happy here for the cheap stuff.Dad, why is your son like this? Just when I thought of this, "Ah!" Scream!Is this the Hetante territory?The mood in the market suddenly changed.People run wildly and blindly. Some run here, some run there.But Shan Sen then keenly found the source of the screams. "Over there. What the hell happened?" "Go and see." Carl was at the forefront.We continued to hear screams, and the sound of things falling.And from the direction we were going, many people were frantically fleeing.People's faces were pale with horror.what is the problem?Then we saw something running after those people.hateful!I seem to have experienced the same thing somewhere. There are three trolls coming running. "What? It's a troll! Why did it appear in the city?" Shan Sen drew out his long sword in a panic.People ran around in a panic, but I saw a strong man in front of him push down the old woman in front of him.The old woman rolled to the ground, unable to get up.She seemed to have injured her ankle, and she staggered and tried to stand up, but she couldn't stand up because of fear and pain. "There is such a thing?" No, how can this be!If it was in our village, even if he was going to die, the strong guy would come forward to help.In fact, I only witnessed such a thing in our village not long ago.My body moves faster than my mind. I stand in front of that guy.He tried to push me away with a rough movement, but I held him tight and said: "Hey! Go help that old lady up and stand up!" "You boy, are you crazy? Are you her grandson?" "No, I'm not her grandson. But you can't!" The man threw a punch without saying a word.This guy!I grab the man's wrist.The man's full-stretched arm was suddenly blocked, so he looked as if his shoulder was about to break.He uttered a piercing scream and fell to his knees. As much as I want to deal with that man, I need to deal with the troll running towards us more urgently.I tossed the man aside and ran to the old woman. "Help, help!" The old woman was crying and calling for help.The troll came running ferociously.I saw the troll hacking down with a stone axe.One second before the old woman's head was about to be split off, I quickly grabbed the old woman's feet, pulled her, and finally rescued the old woman.I moved the old woman behind me. "Can you escape yourself?" The old woman limped away.Then I drew my giant sword and laid it across the road.Hmph, let's take a good look!He's a man in the territory of He Tante, so he will do this!How much time can my life be exchanged for?Really!Who can I confess my last words to now? "Hey, you guys, how long do you think it will take to kill me?" Because I have OPG, so I dare to be so reckless.During this time, did the old lady have gone far? Good thing I have my reinforcements.Another Hetante man, Shan Sen, came and stood beside me.Shan Sen drew out his long sword and waved it without saying a word.The arm of the troll holding the stone ax was pierced in an instant with a large wound exposing the bones.Shan Sen shouted in a low voice: "I only have one life! So precious! Unique!" Well done!Good stab. "Yeah, my unique move 'Knowledgeless'!" There is only one trick I am best at!When the troll subconsciously slashed down with the stone ax, it was hit twice by my giant sword, and its arm was chopped off with a clang. "Crack!" The guy backed away hurriedly.But besides the one that Shan Sen was confronting head-on, there was another one that came fiercely from beside me.At this time, a dazzling light flashed from the middle. It's Iluli.I saw Iluli using the dagger in her left hand to perform a very rare sword technique.Like peeling an apple, Iluli raised her dagger obliquely to aim at the falling troll's arm, and sliced off the troll's arm muscles like a jerky without any effort.How stable and calm does it take to pull off such a move? "Crack! Crack! Crack!" The guy staggered back.The wound is healing fast.Damn, it's a troll after all.I entrust this guy to Iluli for the time being, and then deal with the armless guy in front of me with all my heart.The guy's arm hadn't regenerated yet, but the other arm that wasn't holding the stone ax swung at me. "Wow!" Got punched in the stomach.My body flew back into the air.The reason why I didn't die is thanks to OPG.Thank you Taiban.I almost passed out, but that would have killed me.I rolled over and stood up. I saw some people looking at me.I shouted to them: "Please help!" However, when those people heard my voice, they turned and ran away as if they had heard some kind of signal. Some people entered the nearby building and closed the door.This is really inexplicable!The sound of banging doors slammed one after another. "Brother Niederfa!" Hearing Carl's voice, my whole body was lifted.That troll was running towards me just now.That guy used its arm that had been regenerated at some time, and rushed towards me as if it was going to hug me. "go to hell!" I supported the body of the giant sword with one hand, and grabbed the hilt with the other hand, leaned on the ground, and rolled forward.The troll's arm waved away, and I rolled toward the troll's feet.Then, before he even got up in time, and without looking behind him, he swung his arms back.I don't know what was cut. "Crack!" It seemed to cut into the guy's inner thigh.After I rolled forward, I stood up again.The troll limped and turned backwards, and came face to face with me.Can't give him a chance to regenerate! "I don't know a word on the side!" I swung the giant sword horizontally, and my body spun in a big circle.But this time, after finishing the circle, the knees knelt down.The second time I cut very low, letting my waist fall back, and the troll who had escaped me just now was cut to the foot this time.Can't move!I immediately turned a third time, and straightened my knees and waist.I felt like my ankle was broken, but I jumped forward and managed to make a third turn. The troll's head flew out with a clatter.Then I ran right into the headless body of the troll.The troll fell, its blood spurting into my mouth.Wow!A burst of dizziness.And I don't know what's wrong with my ankle.I fought back the pain in my ankle and stood directly on top of the troll's body.I look around. Shan Sen stood in front of a troll and confronted it head-on. With the strength of an ogre, he chopped the opponent to pieces.If it was a human being, just one wound like that would be fatal.But the troll slashed the stone axe, forcing Shan Sen to retreat, while continuing to regenerate the wound.On the other end, Iluli jumped up and down lightly, and continued to go back and forth behind and beside the troll, absolutely not fighting the troll face to face.Whenever the troll wanted to attack sideways, Iluli would use her left dagger to slash its arm obliquely, or stab its waist or back with an armor-piercing sword.But for the troll, the wounds cut by Shan Sen's long sword can regenerate, not to mention the wounds cut by armor-piercing swords, which can only be regarded as extremely small wounds.Who should I help first? As I thought about it, I stood up unconsciously.I felt such pain in my ankle that I almost fell to the ground. "Ok……" Karl thought he was just coming to the market to buy things, so he didn't bring his longbow out. At this moment, he rushed to support me.I grabbed Carl's shoulder and gritted my teeth, looking around with angry eyes.Such a big city has majestic buildings and wide roads that our village can't match, but why can't we see even a single person?Can't really see even one. However, I looked up and found someone on the second and third floors looking down on us.Take a closer look, there are people watching us from every window. Feel sick. "Ugh!" I flicked my greatsword and jumped forward.There was a troll in front of me with its back turned, and it was chasing Iluli.My foot wobbled a bit, and then I jumped up with one foot without thinking.I turned the blade of the giant sword downward, and just like that, I drove the sword into the troll's back. "Crack!" "Ah!" I used all my strength to pull the giant sword down, and it felt as if it was stuck in something, and then suddenly, the hand holding the giant sword became numb, and the giant sword just came out.It turned out that the sword had left the troll's body from its waist.It then fell forward.I climbed onto the troll's back and started poking down hard with my greatsword. "Ugh! Ugh! Ugh!" I don't know how many times I cut it.The troll's back and neck were completely turned into pieces of flesh, and blood sprayed all over me.I ended up grabbing the troll's head.Though hairless, my fingernails went through its skull.Because it had already been cut off by me, I pulled up its upper body and swiped at its neck with a huge sword, so I cut off its neck.I toss it aside. Iluli wasn't looking at me, she was really calm.She has already started helping Shansen.Iluli stabbed the troll behind the knee from behind, forcing the troll to kneel.Then Shan Sen split the troll's head.There are pieces of meat and blood all around.Both Shan Sen and Yi Luli are still clean, but my hard leather armor is completely covered with blood, and my face and hands are also covered with blood.I'm still sitting on the troll just now. Shan Sen approached and held out his hand.I grabbed his hand and stood up.My feet wobbled and almost fell again, but Shan Sen quickly supported my armpits. "Is your foot hurt?" "It's just a sprained foot, it's fine." "Luckily, none of us got hurt." "But isn't there a guard in this damned city?" "Maybe it's a slower move." I looked around blankly.The windows of the surrounding buildings opened one by one.Then people came out in twos and threes.Come out!what!Are you here to help now?Those people frowned in disgust and blocked the bloody water in front of their houses with their feet to prevent it from flowing into their own houses, and angrily wiped off the blood and flesh that had stained the walls and doors of the buildings.I see all this. "Shansen, let's go back quickly." "Go back quickly?" "Stay here any longer, and I might kill someone." Shan Sen nodded silently.With Shan Sen's support, I started to walk forward.Carl came pushing the cart, and Iluli walked beside me, wiping the blood off my face with a handkerchief. "It's okay, Iluli. Anyway, it can't be wiped clean like this." "You have to be able to see to walk, can't you? Well... now the face is more or less wiped." "Thank you. I will definitely buy you a handkerchief." Ellie didn't answer, just smiled.The road to the hotel is damn long.At the thought of limping there, all eyes suddenly turned yellow.Inconvenient legs are no small matter.It was so troublesome and inconvenient to have only one leg injured, let alone Taiban, who was invisible to the eyes, it must be even more difficult for him to move.Thai class!Those trolls must have been dealt with cleanly and easily if you were there.There is no need to see such a disgusting scene. "Mr. Nieder?" who is it?Who is calling me with such an abrupt title?I pushed aside the bloody hair sticking to my face, only to see who was in front of me. "Ah, brave and noble lady!" Yusna looked at me from the corner of the market with a frightened expression.I don't care what she wants to say, just speak first. "I won't let the hotel get blood on it. If it does, I'll wipe it all up." "Ah, no, Xiu Qi, um...so that's how it is." Before I could figure out what she was saying, Yusna ran away in a flash.snort!No matter how you looked at it, she felt that she ran back to the hotel because she didn't want to get blood.I looked back a little and saw my footprints on the road.Nice bright red footprints.The footprints connected in series.With such obvious bright red footprints, even if you are not a well-trained special forces soldier, you can probably catch me easily! My footprints, really yeah, my footprints. My head is so dizzy.
I really don't know what kind of mental state I was in to get to the hotel?Anyway, I arrived, and then Yusna's brother, the bearded boy, came to the entrance of the hotel.When he saw me, his eyes widened. "Yusna came to me and told me, guest... wait a minute." "what?" That bearded guy just lifted me up.what happened? "Well, it's just a sprain! Why, I'd be embarrassed!" The bearded boy just picked me up and ran up the stairs, followed by Carl, Shansen, and Iluli.Once inside the hotel, he took me to a room next to the restaurant.It should be the bearded boy's room. He sat me down on a table and inspected my feet.He pressed my leg and asked: "Will you be in pain?" "You can tell by my expression?" "It's swollen. The bones don't seem to be broken... probably the leg bones are split." Eluli walked out immediately.After a while, Iruri came in with something.I seem to have seen that thing before?Ah, it seems to be the medicine bottle that was once given to the Behemoth. "Drink this, Xiuqi." "Can I drink it when my leg is broken?" "Well, haven't you ever seen this used to heal knife wounds?" I nodded, then took a sip from the medicine bottle.The bearded boy looked at Iluli with surprised eyes.After a while, the foot pain completely subsided.I happily slid down from the table. "Oh, the table is dirty." "Well, just wipe it off, so it's okay. But is your foot okay?" "It doesn't hurt at all. But it needs a cleaning. I almost made a mess of the hotel." "Yusna is preparing bath water. Please follow me." Oh, it turned out that I ran back to prepare these first!that is really good.Thank you so much.How strange.It's touching.
After a while, I washed my body and changed clothes, and sat in the hall neatly.Everyone else got together too, and we each had a glass of beer.Then the bearded boy also sat at our table.The bearded boy's name is Xue Lin.I was taken aback when he said he was the owner of the hotel. The bearded Xue Lin nodded and said: "Originally my father was the owner here. But after he passed away due to illness last year, I took over the management of this hotel. My mother lives in another part of the city at home, and she is not interested in doing business. My father is still alive. I was the chef here, and Yusna was responsible for the accounting and cashier, so I only do what the chef does." "Yusna seems very smart and capable." At this time Carl asked a question: "But why do trolls suddenly appear in the city?" Xue Lin thought about it seriously. "I didn't see it directly, so I don't know. It may have escaped from the arena. I have sent the servants of the hotel to find out." "Colosseum?" "Yes, there is an arena in this city. I heard that there are a few trolls there, maybe they just ran out." What is an arena?Yesterday I heard that halfling named Dukan Butpinger said something similar, but I still looked at Shan Sen incomprehensibly, and Shan Sen also had an expression of not knowing.So I asked Xue Lin. "What is the arena?" "Literally, it's a place of fighting. Sometimes it's fighters fighting fighters, sometimes fighters fighting monsters." "For what?" Xue Lin looked at me with a surprised expression and said. "Of course it's for watching. You can also gamble. It's a way of betting on the outcome." "what?" We were all taken aback.Is it for viewing?I was fighting the phantom monsters called out by Taiban in our hometown, and the villagers watched from the sidelines, is it like that?But it was an illusion, like acting.But the troll just now is real, "Is it fighting a real monster? Isn't it possible to die?" "Yes, possibly death." Shan Sen said in disbelief. "Huh? Some people do such crazy things. Who would fight there?" "Some are professional sword fighters..., usually poor poor people. Because low-paid fighters get a lot of money if they win." "What is this? You can risk your life to make money?" "Some people have this idea." Carl interjected in surprise. "Are there many such people? Although there should be many of them to keep the arena in business, I think there should be no poor people who are willing to give up their lives to make money. And as far as professional sword fighters are concerned, regardless of the quality of the swordsman No matter how good the strength is, this kind of fighting will not determine the outcome." Shan Sen made an expression of admiration.Carl spoke with eloquence, like a seasoned fighter. An unhappy expression flashed across Xue Lin's face.Although he couldn't see clearly because of his beard, his eyes were obviously angry.Xue Lin said in an impatient voice. "Have you ever heard of usury?" usury?That's a way of lending money to people at very high interest, isn't it?But why mention this all of a sudden?But Karl suddenly frowned and said: "Could it be... the owner of the arena let people fight there instead of repaying the debt?" "very true!" "Ah! Does the city hall ignore it?" "That person is very powerful and has bought all the city government employees. Even the mayor, if he dares to object, will be replaced by him. This is something that people here know privately. And our city Almost all of his guards can be regarded as that person's personal force. And the private soldiers he owns are also very powerful." "My goodness!" It really doesn't make sense! I probably know what's going on.So he will lend money to those who are eager to use the money, and then use the high interest rate to make people have nothing to do but go to the arena to fight.You don't have to pay them if you win, because you need to pay back the money you owe.And if you lose, of course forget it.He is using gambling to make money.Rationally speaking, I can roughly understand it, but I still feel incredible in my heart.In order to repay the debt, the master of the arena who risked his life to fight, I don't know what is going on in his head?
At this time, there was a commotion outside the door, the sound of shoes clattering loudly on the corridor floor.Shan Sen tilted his head and said: "What's that sound?" Xue Lin panicked, as if he already knew what the sound was.After a while, eight fully armed warriors entered the hall, all wearing chain mail and holding halberds.Amazing gear!Yusna, who was behind them, ran to block them. "We have guests here, what kind of behavior are you doing?" But the soldiers didn't even listen.Are they the city's guard?However, Xue Lin said: "It's the private soldier of the man I told you just now." What?How could private soldiers be so fully armed?Shan Sen, the captain of our lord's guard, looked down at his hard leather armor with an expression of disbelief.Those people looked around and then came towards us. "Xue Lin, is it them?" Xue Lin nodded gloomyly.Then the soldier said. "Okay. We are soldiers under Baron Sirikan. Were you the ones who killed the troll?" Lord Sirikan?Is that man an aristocrat?Shan Sen nodded and said: "Is there a problem?" "One troll is worth two hundred thier, so it's six hundred thier in total. Please pay the compensation." I don't think I heard it wrong, because Shansen also looked up at the soldier in surprise, and Carl and Iluli did the same.Shan Sen asked suspiciously. "Wait a minute. Want us to pay?" "Otherwise who will pay for it?" "We helped kill the troll, but instead of saying thank you and giving us a bonus, you asked us to pay compensation instead?" "This guy! They are used to make money!" The soldier looked down impatiently and kicked Shan Sen's calf on the spot.Shan Sen endured the pain and remained silent, then stood up angrily as if his eyes were about to burst into sparks.I also stood up at the same time. "What are you doing?" "I told you guy to pay attention." "Guy? I am a subordinate of Viscount Hetante, the captain of the guard of Hetante City, Shansen Fisher. What did you do to me just now?" After hearing the words after the word Tangtang, the soldiers laughed disdainfully. "What's so great about the Viscount? Where did you come from, a country bumpkin, you dare to act wild if you don't know how to measure?" "The guy who just ran out from the bandit village is really very problematic. It's really a knot in the brain and can't figure out the situation! It's so pitiful." "Maybe serving nobles like bandit leaders in a certain valley... Bah!" It seemed that Shan Sen's identity was ironic, and they were all making fun of it.This surprised Shan Sen so much that he forgot to be angry.At this time, the soldier kicked Shan Sen's calf again, treating Shan Sen as if he was his subordinate.Shan Sen groaned and bent down in pain, the soldier wanted to stab Shan Sen with the butt of his halberd. He didn't succeed.Because I grabbed that halberd.The soldier showed a hideous expression. "What is this kid?" He wanted to pull back the halberd, even though I was holding the halberd with one hand, he couldn't grab it back with both hands.He didn't let go until I twisted the halberd.Before he changed his face, I grabbed the halberd with both hands. "How much is this worth?" "What's the meaning?" I broke the barrel of the gun.Surprised expressions appeared on the faces of the soldiers.I held the two truncated gun shafts in my hand again, and they were broken into four pieces in total.I threw the four barrels to the soldier and said: "How much are you worth?" Fear finally emerged from the surprised expressions of the soldiers.I said ruthlessly: "How much will I have to pay if I kill you?" The soldier whose halberd was broken took a step back, and all the other soldiers stretched out their halberds forward.I was so angry that I moved my hands to my shoulders, trying to pull out the giant sword, but I didn't bring the giant sword with me after taking a bath and changing clothes just now. Shan Sen drew out his long sword and said with restraint: "Go outside!" Shan Sen seems to be considering Xue Lin's position.The soldiers backed away hesitantly.They also seemed to want to fight indoors with a halberd, which was very bad for them.They took a few steps back and ran out.Shan Sen was panting and wanted to follow them out.Carl called him. "Well, Brother Fisher, what are you going to do?" "Our lord was insulted, and he was insulted by the baron's subordinates. I don't know if it's a real baron. Xue Lin? Is that Xilikan really a baron?" "How could a nobleman's subordinates be so virtuous?" "Sure enough, it's just what I thought. It's a fake baron. Just wait and see!" "But are you going to fight with so many people?" “死亡虽然是何时何地都有可能发生的，但是要选择自己愿意的时间和地点却是不容易。所以我如果可以选择的话，我死而无憾。” 杉森说了这些似乎很有道理又有点怪异的话之后就走了出去。我则是急急忙忙地上去二楼。没有时间穿盔甲了，我只提起巨剑就往楼下冲。旅馆外面已经站着杉森和那个假男爵的八个部下，互相对峙着。
After a while of commotion, I realized under Carl's explanation that it was not the smell of being drugged, but the original taste of this thing.Yusna's eyes became colder, while Shan Sen kept laughing until he couldn't breathe.What a shame, what a shame!But why would people want to drink this stuff? Anyway, after we finished eating, we went outside.Shansen and Iluli are going to buy horses, and Carl and I are going to the market to buy things.But Iluli thinks it's better for all of us to go together.She also has something to buy herself, so I suggest everyone go together.I borrowed a cart from Yusna, and Yusna took it out muttering as if I might break it. "Are you going to the market to buy something?" "Ok." Yusna's expression became worse, and she said with suppressed anger: "Hmph! Why do I just want to go to the market? Come with me!" "Oh, is it? That's very nice! But you want to go to the market alone? There must be a lot of shopping in this big hotel?" "Huh! Redneck. Just order and they'll ship it here." "Oh really?" Thanks to Yusna's guidance, we found the market very easily.Yusna parted ways with us as soon as she arrived at the market. We bought flour, dried meat, bacon, a little greens to cook and eat tonight, salt and all.The prices here are quite low, unimaginable cheap prices in our village.Especially the price of paper is unimaginably low.I was pestered by Carl to buy a lot of paper.Paper should be useful everywhere!At least something to keep track of.I bought a pen and ink by the way, put them in the cart, and asked with a happy expression: "Why are things so cheap?" Carl replied with a smile. "The things in our village are too expensive. That's because merchants don't come in and out of our village very much. However, Reynolds City has the waterway of the Xiudorn River and is also the gateway of the Central Avenue, so there are a lot of goods. Of course, the price will be very cheap. " "If we eliminate Amtat, our village will become the gateway city of the Central Avenue. At that time, the goods in our village will also increase and the prices will become cheaper, right?" Carl just smiled quietly.At this time, Iluli said: "Xiu Qi, do you want to destroy Amtat for the sake of happiness and abundance?" "I want to eliminate Amtat in order not to be so miserable." It seems that Iluli didn't understand what I said.But I don't want to discuss Amtat while shopping for pleasure.How does my father live now?Possibly imprisoned in goblin caves and fed unpalatable food.Damn it!But I'm happy here for the cheap stuff.Dad, why is your son like this? Just when I thought of this, "Ah!" Scream!Is this the Hetante territory?The mood in the market suddenly changed.People run wildly and blindly. Some run here, some run there.But Shan Sen then keenly found the source of the screams. "Over there. What the hell happened?" "Go and see." Carl was at the forefront.We continued to hear screams, and the sound of things falling.And from the direction we were going, many people were frantically fleeing.People's faces were pale with horror.what is the problem?Then we saw something running after those people.hateful!I seem to have experienced the same thing somewhere. There are three trolls coming running. "What? It's a troll! Why did it appear in the city?" Shan Sen drew out his long sword in a panic.People ran around in a panic, but I saw a strong man in front of him push down the old woman in front of him.The old woman rolled to the ground, unable to get up.She seemed to have injured her ankle, and she staggered and tried to stand up, but she couldn't stand up because of fear and pain. "There is such a thing?" No, how can this be!If it was in our village, even if he was going to die, the strong guy would come forward to help.In fact, I only witnessed such a thing in our village not long ago.My body moves faster than my mind. I stand in front of that guy.He tried to push me away with a rough movement, but I held him tight and said: "Hey! Go help that old lady up and stand up!" "You boy, are you crazy? Are you her grandson?" "No, I'm not her grandson. But you can't!" The man threw a punch without saying a word.This guy!I grab the man's wrist.The man's full-stretched arm was suddenly blocked, so he looked as if his shoulder was about to break.He uttered a piercing scream and fell to his knees. As much as I want to deal with that man, I need to deal with the troll running towards us more urgently.I tossed the man aside and ran to the old woman. "Help, help!" The old woman was crying and calling for help.The troll came running ferociously.I saw the troll hacking down with a stone axe.One second before the old woman's head was about to be split off, I quickly grabbed the old woman's feet, pulled her, and finally rescued the old woman.I moved the old woman behind me. "Can you escape yourself?" The old woman limped away.Then I drew my giant sword and laid it across the road.Hmph, let's take a good look!He's a man in the territory of He Tante, so he will do this!How much time can my life be exchanged for?Really!Who can I confess my last words to now? "Hey, you guys, how long do you think it will take to kill me?" Because I have OPG, so I dare to be so reckless.During this time, did the old lady have gone far? Good thing I have my reinforcements.Another Hetante man, Shan Sen, came and stood beside me.Shan Sen drew out his long sword and waved it without saying a word.The arm of the troll holding the stone ax was pierced in an instant with a large wound exposing the bones.Shan Sen shouted in a low voice: "I only have one life! So precious! Unique!" Well done!Good stab. "Yeah, my unique move 'Knowledgeless'!" There is only one trick I am best at!When the troll subconsciously slashed down with the stone ax, it was hit twice by my giant sword, and its arm was chopped off with a clang. "Crack!" The guy backed away hurriedly.But besides the one that Shan Sen was confronting head-on, there was another one that came fiercely from beside me.At this time, a dazzling light flashed from the middle. It's Iluli.I saw Iluli using the dagger in her left hand to perform a very rare sword technique.Like peeling an apple, Iluli raised her dagger obliquely to aim at the falling troll's arm, and sliced off the troll's arm muscles like a jerky without any effort.How stable and calm does it take to pull off such a move? "Crack! Crack! Crack!" The guy staggered back.The wound is healing fast.Damn, it's a troll after all.I entrust this guy to Iluli for the time being, and then deal with the armless guy in front of me with all my heart.The guy's arm hadn't regenerated yet, but the other arm that wasn't holding the stone ax swung at me. "Wow!" Got punched in the stomach.My body flew back into the air.The reason why I didn't die is thanks to OPG.Thank you Taiban.I almost passed out, but that would have killed me.I rolled over and stood up. I saw some people looking at me.I shouted to them: "Please help!" However, when those people heard my voice, they turned and ran away as if they had heard some kind of signal. Some people entered the nearby building and closed the door.This is really inexplicable!The sound of banging doors slammed one after another. "Brother Niederfa!" Hearing Carl's voice, my whole body was lifted.That troll was running towards me just now.That guy used its arm that had been regenerated at some time, and rushed towards me as if it was going to hug me. "go to hell!" I supported the body of the giant sword with one hand, and grabbed the hilt with the other hand, leaned on the ground, and rolled forward.The troll's arm waved away, and I rolled toward the troll's feet.Then, before he even got up in time, and without looking behind him, he swung his arms back.I don't know what was cut. "Crack!" It seemed to cut into the guy's inner thigh.After I rolled forward, I stood up again.The troll limped and turned backwards, and came face to face with me.Can't give him a chance to regenerate! "I don't know a word on the side!" I swung the giant sword horizontally, and my body spun in a big circle.But this time, after finishing the circle, the knees knelt down.The second time I cut very low, letting my waist fall back, and the troll who had escaped me just now was cut to the foot this time.Can't move!I immediately turned a third time, and straightened my knees and waist.I felt like my ankle was broken, but I jumped forward and managed to make a third turn. The troll's head flew out with a clatter.Then I ran right into the headless body of the troll.The troll fell, its blood spurting into my mouth.Wow!A burst of dizziness.And I don't know what's wrong with my ankle.I fought back the pain in my ankle and stood directly on top of the troll's body.I look around. Shan Sen stood in front of a troll and confronted it head-on. With the strength of an ogre, he chopped the opponent to pieces.If it was a human being, just one wound like that would be fatal.But the troll slashed the stone axe, forcing Shan Sen to retreat, while continuing to regenerate the wound.On the other end, Iluli jumped up and down lightly, and continued to go back and forth behind and beside the troll, absolutely not fighting the troll face to face.Whenever the troll wanted to attack sideways, Iluli would use her left dagger to slash its arm obliquely, or stab its waist or back with an armor-piercing sword.But for the troll, the wounds cut by Shan Sen's long sword can regenerate, not to mention the wounds cut by armor-piercing swords, which can only be regarded as extremely small wounds.Who should I help first? As I thought about it, I stood up unconsciously.I felt such pain in my ankle that I almost fell to the ground. "Ok……" Karl thought he was just coming to the market to buy things, so he didn't bring his longbow out. At this moment, he rushed to support me.I grabbed Carl's shoulder and gritted my teeth, looking around with angry eyes.Such a big city has majestic buildings and wide roads that our village can't match, but why can't we see even a single person?Can't really see even one. However, I looked up and found someone on the second and third floors looking down on us.Take a closer look, there are people watching us from every window. Feel sick. "Ugh!" I flicked my greatsword and jumped forward.There was a troll in front of me with its back turned, and it was chasing Iluli.My foot wobbled a bit, and then I jumped up with one foot without thinking.I turned the blade of the giant sword downward, and just like that, I drove the sword into the troll's back. "Crack!" "Ah!" I used all my strength to pull the giant sword down, and it felt as if it was stuck in something, and then suddenly, the hand holding the giant sword became numb, and the giant sword just came out.It turned out that the sword had left the troll's body from its waist.It then fell forward.I climbed onto the troll's back and started poking down hard with my greatsword. "Ugh! Ugh! Ugh!" I don't know how many times I cut it.The troll's back and neck were completely turned into pieces of flesh, and blood sprayed all over me.I ended up grabbing the troll's head.Though hairless, my fingernails went through its skull.Because it had already been cut off by me, I pulled up its upper body and swiped at its neck with a huge sword, so I cut off its neck.I toss it aside. Iluli wasn't looking at me, she was really calm.She has already started helping Shansen.Iluli stabbed the troll behind the knee from behind, forcing the troll to kneel.Then Shan Sen split the troll's head.There are pieces of meat and blood all around.Both Shan Sen and Yi Luli are still clean, but my hard leather armor is completely covered with blood, and my face and hands are also covered with blood.I'm still sitting on the troll just now. Shan Sen approached and held out his hand.I grabbed his hand and stood up.My feet wobbled and almost fell again, but Shan Sen quickly supported my armpits. "Is your foot hurt?" "It's just a sprained foot, it's fine." "Luckily, none of us got hurt." "But isn't there a guard in this damned city?" "Maybe it's a slower move." I looked around blankly.The windows of the surrounding buildings opened one by one.Then people came out in twos and threes.Come out!what!Are you here to help now?Those people frowned in disgust and blocked the bloody water in front of their houses with their feet to prevent it from flowing into their own houses, and angrily wiped off the blood and flesh that had stained the walls and doors of the buildings.I see all this. "Shansen, let's go back quickly." "Go back quickly?" "Stay here any longer, and I might kill someone." Shan Sen nodded silently.With Shan Sen's support, I started to walk forward.Carl came pushing the cart, and Iluli walked beside me, wiping the blood off my face with a handkerchief. "It's okay, Iluli. Anyway, it can't be wiped clean like this." "You have to be able to see to walk, can't you? Well... now the face is more or less wiped." "Thank you. I will definitely buy you a handkerchief." Ellie didn't answer, just smiled.The road to the hotel is damn long.At the thought of limping there, all eyes suddenly turned yellow.Inconvenient legs are no small matter.It was so troublesome and inconvenient to have only one leg injured, let alone Taiban, who was invisible to the eyes, it must be even more difficult for him to move.Thai class!Those trolls must have been dealt with cleanly and easily if you were there.There is no need to see such a disgusting scene. "Mr. Nieder?" who is it?Who is calling me with such an abrupt title?I pushed aside the bloody hair sticking to my face, only to see who was in front of me. "Ah, brave and noble lady!" Yusna looked at me from the corner of the market with a frightened expression.I don't care what she wants to say, just speak first. "I won't let the hotel get blood on it. If it does, I'll wipe it all up." "Ah, no, Xiu Qi, um...so that's how it is." Before I could figure out what she was saying, Yusna ran away in a flash.snort!No matter how you looked at it, she felt that she ran back to the hotel because she didn't want to get blood.I looked back a little and saw my footprints on the road.Nice bright red footprints.The footprints connected in series.With such obvious bright red footprints, even if you are not a well-trained special forces soldier, you can probably catch me easily! My footprints, really yeah, my footprints. My head is so dizzy.
I really don't know what kind of mental state I was in to get to the hotel?Anyway, I arrived, and then Yusna's brother, the bearded boy, came to the entrance of the hotel.When he saw me, his eyes widened. "Yusna came to me and told me, guest... wait a minute." "what?" That bearded guy just lifted me up.what happened? "Well, it's just a sprain! Why, I'd be embarrassed!" The bearded boy just picked me up and ran up the stairs, followed by Carl, Shansen, and Iluli.Once inside the hotel, he took me to a room next to the restaurant.It should be the bearded boy's room. He sat me down on a table and inspected my feet.He pressed my leg and asked: "Will you be in pain?" "You can tell by my expression?" "It's swollen. The bones don't seem to be broken... probably the leg bones are split." Eluli walked out immediately.After a while, Iruri came in with something.I seem to have seen that thing before?Ah, it seems to be the medicine bottle that was once given to the Behemoth. "Drink this, Xiuqi." "Can I drink it when my leg is broken?" "Well, haven't you ever seen this used to heal knife wounds?" I nodded, then took a sip from the medicine bottle.The bearded boy looked at Iluli with surprised eyes.After a while, the foot pain completely subsided.I happily slid down from the table. "Oh, the table is dirty." "Well, just wipe it off, so it's okay. But is your foot okay?" "It doesn't hurt at all. But it needs a cleaning. I almost made a mess of the hotel." "Yusna is preparing bath water. Please follow me." Oh, it turned out that I ran back to prepare these first!that is really good.Thank you so much.How strange.It's touching.
After a while, I washed my body and changed clothes, and sat in the hall neatly.Everyone else got together too, and we each had a glass of beer.Then the bearded boy also sat at our table.The bearded boy's name is Xue Lin.I was taken aback when he said he was the owner of the hotel. The bearded Xue Lin nodded and said: "Originally my father was the owner here. But after he passed away due to illness last year, I took over the management of this hotel. My mother lives in another part of the city at home, and she is not interested in doing business. My father is still alive. I was the chef here, and Yusna was responsible for the accounting and cashier, so I only do what the chef does." "Yusna seems very smart and capable." At this time Carl asked a question: "But why do trolls suddenly appear in the city?" Xue Lin thought about it seriously. "I didn't see it directly, so I don't know. It may have escaped from the arena. I have sent the servants of the hotel to find out." "Colosseum?" "Yes, there is an arena in this city. I heard that there are a few trolls there, maybe they just ran out." What is an arena?Yesterday I heard that halfling named Dukan Butpinger said something similar, but I still looked at Shan Sen incomprehensibly, and Shan Sen also had an expression of not knowing.So I asked Xue Lin. "What is the arena?" "Literally, it's a place of fighting. Sometimes it's fighters fighting fighters, sometimes fighters fighting monsters." "For what?" Xue Lin looked at me with a surprised expression and said. "Of course it's for watching. You can also gamble. It's a way of betting on the outcome." "what?" We were all taken aback.Is it for viewing?I was fighting the phantom monsters called out by Taiban in our hometown, and the villagers watched from the sidelines, is it like that?But it was an illusion, like acting.But the troll just now is real, "Is it fighting a real monster? Isn't it possible to die?" "Yes, possibly death." Shan Sen said in disbelief. "Huh? Some people do such crazy things. Who would fight there?" "Some are professional sword fighters..., usually poor poor people. Because low-paid fighters get a lot of money if they win." "What is this? You can risk your life to make money?" "Some people have this idea." Carl interjected in surprise. "Are there many such people? Although there should be many of them to keep the arena in business, I think there should be no poor people who are willing to give up their lives to make money. And as far as professional sword fighters are concerned, regardless of the quality of the swordsman No matter how good the strength is, this kind of fighting will not determine the outcome." Shan Sen made an expression of admiration.Carl spoke with eloquence, like a seasoned fighter. An unhappy expression flashed across Xue Lin's face.Although he couldn't see clearly because of his beard, his eyes were obviously angry.Xue Lin said in an impatient voice. "Have you ever heard of usury?" usury?That's a way of lending money to people at very high interest, isn't it?But why mention this all of a sudden?But Karl suddenly frowned and said: "Could it be... the owner of the arena let people fight there instead of repaying the debt?" "very true!" "Ah! Does the city hall ignore it?" "That person is very powerful and has bought all the city government employees. Even the mayor, if he dares to object, will be replaced by him. This is something that people here know privately. And our city Almost all of his guards can be regarded as that person's personal force. And the private soldiers he owns are also very powerful." "My goodness!" It really doesn't make sense! I probably know what's going on.So he will lend money to those who are eager to use the money, and then use the high interest rate to make people have nothing to do but go to the arena to fight.You don't have to pay them if you win, because you need to pay back the money you owe.And if you lose, of course forget it.He is using gambling to make money.Rationally speaking, I can roughly understand it, but I still feel incredible in my heart.In order to repay the debt, the master of the arena who risked his life to fight, I don't know what is going on in his head?
At this time, there was a commotion outside the door, the sound of shoes clattering loudly on the corridor floor.Shan Sen tilted his head and said: "What's that sound?" Xue Lin panicked, as if he already knew what the sound was.After a while, eight fully armed warriors entered the hall, all wearing chain mail and holding halberds.Amazing gear!Yusna, who was behind them, ran to block them. "We have guests here, what kind of behavior are you doing?" But the soldiers didn't even listen.Are they the city's guard?However, Xue Lin said: "It's the private soldier of the man I told you just now." What?How could private soldiers be so fully armed?Shan Sen, the captain of our lord's guard, looked down at his hard leather armor with an expression of disbelief.Those people looked around and then came towards us. "Xue Lin, is it them?" Xue Lin nodded gloomyly.Then the soldier said. "Okay. We are soldiers under Baron Sirikan. Were you the ones who killed the troll?" Lord Sirikan?Is that man an aristocrat?Shan Sen nodded and said: "Is there a problem?" "One troll is worth two hundred thier, so it's six hundred thier in total. Please pay the compensation." I don't think I heard it wrong, because Shansen also looked up at the soldier in surprise, and Carl and Iluli did the same.Shan Sen asked suspiciously. "Wait a minute. Want us to pay?" "Otherwise who will pay for it?" "We helped kill the troll, but instead of saying thank you and giving us a bonus, you asked us to pay compensation instead?" "This guy! They are used to make money!" The soldier looked down impatiently and kicked Shan Sen's calf on the spot.Shan Sen endured the pain and remained silent, then stood up angrily as if his eyes were about to burst into sparks.I also stood up at the same time. "What are you doing?" "I told you guy to pay attention." "Guy? I am a subordinate of Viscount Hetante, the captain of the guard of Hetante City, Shansen Fisher. What did you do to me just now?" After hearing the words after the word Tangtang, the soldiers laughed disdainfully. "What's so great about the Viscount? Where did you come from, a country bumpkin, you dare to act wild if you don't know how to measure?" "The guy who just ran out from the bandit village is really very problematic. It's really a knot in the brain and can't figure out the situation! It's so pitiful." "Maybe serving nobles like bandit leaders in a certain valley... Bah!" It seemed that Shan Sen's identity was ironic, and they were all making fun of it.This surprised Shan Sen so much that he forgot to be angry.At this time, the soldier kicked Shan Sen's calf again, treating Shan Sen as if he was his subordinate.Shan Sen groaned and bent down in pain, the soldier wanted to stab Shan Sen with the butt of his halberd. He didn't succeed.Because I grabbed that halberd.The soldier showed a hideous expression. "What is this kid?" He wanted to pull back the halberd, even though I was holding the halberd with one hand, he couldn't grab it back with both hands.He didn't let go until I twisted the halberd.Before he changed his face, I grabbed the halberd with both hands. "How much is this worth?" "What's the meaning?" I broke the barrel of the gun.Surprised expressions appeared on the faces of the soldiers.I held the two truncated gun shafts in my hand again, and they were broken into four pieces in total.I threw the four barrels to the soldier and said: "How much are you worth?" Fear finally emerged from the surprised expressions of the soldiers.I said ruthlessly: "How much will I have to pay if I kill you?" The soldier whose halberd was broken took a step back, and all the other soldiers stretched out their halberds forward.I was so angry that I moved my hands to my shoulders, trying to pull out the giant sword, but I didn't bring the giant sword with me after taking a bath and changing clothes just now. Shan Sen drew out his long sword and said with restraint: "Go outside!" Shan Sen seems to be considering Xue Lin's position.The soldiers backed away hesitantly.They also seemed to want to fight indoors with a halberd, which was very bad for them.They took a few steps back and ran out.Shan Sen was panting and wanted to follow them out.Carl called him. "Well, Brother Fisher, what are you going to do?" "Our lord was insulted, and he was insulted by the baron's subordinates. I don't know if it's a real baron. Xue Lin? Is that Xilikan really a baron?" "How could a nobleman's subordinates be so virtuous?" "Sure enough, it's just what I thought. It's a fake baron. Just wait and see!" "But are you going to fight with so many people?" “死亡虽然是何时何地都有可能发生的，但是要选择自己愿意的时间和地点却是不容易。所以我如果可以选择的话，我死而无憾。” 杉森说了这些似乎很有道理又有点怪异的话之后就走了出去。我则是急急忙忙地上去二楼。没有时间穿盔甲了，我只提起巨剑就往楼下冲。旅馆外面已经站着杉森和那个假男爵的八个部下，互相对峙着。
