MTL - Mercenaries and Adventurers-v4 Chapter 119 , gossiping, killing numbers, replenishing divine power

Kiel and Bloodyaster chatted while eating, mainly about the battle in the afternoon.

Xueyaster was injured and lost a lot of blood in the morning, which caused the energy of the battle in the afternoon to be dizzy and tense in the carriage.

As far as he himself said, when he heard the screams of monsters and the roar of soldiers outside, he could only shrink in the box, tightly holding the dagger for self-defense. I don't know whether the dagger was finally used to deal with the harpies that might come in, or he used it for self-cutting.

"It doesn't feel good. Seriously, I'd rather die outside, or fight with your soldiers, than lie in a box and can't do anything. Life and death are outside, not in my hands."

Finally, he pulled an old saying.

Of course it's from another world.

Kiel nodded, he has experience, the feeling of life and death is really uncomfortable, especially when the time period is not short, it is probably even more difficult, far more destructive than the enemy's real swords and guns. .

"Tell me about me, I did a great job in the battle in the afternoon!"

"Tell me about me, I did a great job in the battle in the afternoon!"

Kiel turned a smug face, and then proudly talked about the battle experience in the afternoon.

Not only did Bloodyaster find it incredible, but even the other people who ate around and the local villagers who ran the stalls slowed down their work and paid more attention to listening to Kiel's 'brag'.

Looking at the expressions of the people around him, Keir knew that many of them probably thought he was bragging, how could it be? Is he that kind of person? It was obviously very important, but because of his national character, he deliberately and modestly said only a few or eight points, and as a result, these people also looked unbelieving.

"Hmph, you don't believe me, do you? Ask us Kendall people to find out which of my words is a lie!"

With an unhappy expression on his face, his mouth curled up, he grabbed a piece of mutton, dipped it in a local green plant sauce, and stuffed it into his mouth with gusto.

As a result, a fellow in the local caravan who came along with them sneered: "I'm afraid I won't be able to find out, do you know? The most powerful thing about harpies is their deafening calls. It is known as the death cry that can be heard at the end of life. Heh, you fought with the monster this afternoon, although you won the battle and killed the monster, the soldiers probably couldn’t hear it, right?”

A local villager next to him said in a voice that everyone could hear, "That's right, when I delivered the lighting fuel to the army just now, I saw many soldiers gesturing to each other with distressed faces. Gestures! Hahahaha."

Kiel glared at the man, and the burst of murderous aura suddenly made the man's low-pitched ridicule locked in his throat, and he coughed out of breath.

Everyone present shuddered, and suddenly realized that this young soldier, with such a murderous aura that made people's hearts shudder, probably killed many people.

Xueyasite took the opportunity to ask with a smile on the corner of his mouth: "Keir, I'm curious, how many lives do you have in your hands at such a young age? Can you tell me?"

He guessed that Kiel looked young, but he had experienced a lot of battles and was a good fighter. He probably killed a lot of people. Now that he asked it out, it happened to kill the arrogance of this group of people.

Let these people speak carefully, and don't provoke some people who really can't be provoked.

Of course, he was also a little curious. He himself was already an old caravan guard on the commercial road, and he had a few lives in his hands. They were all related to the ferocious horse bandits on the grassland and the gangsters in the settlement who planned to swallow his employer. Members fight to get.

But seeing that Kiel just stared at him just now, his murderous intent far surpassed his own.

How many people did Keir kill at such a young age?

Kiel also heard the other party's intentions from his companion's words, so he sneered, counted roughly with his fingers, and then said: "I didn't calculate carefully, but it must be more than a hundred people."

As soon as this was said, there were no whispers around.

After all, the entire Kamsey Village didn't have a population of more than a thousand, and this young soldier killed hundreds of people.

At this moment, not to mention the other diners, even Xue Yaster, who was at the same table as Kiel, felt that the wooden chair under his buttocks was a bit hard, making it uncomfortable to sit on.

Keir shrugged and explained: "It's mostly bandits in the mountains, and there are also villagers who colluded with outsiders to rebel. The first time I killed someone was last year when a few bandits wanted to rob me, a person who was traveling alone, and my hands were weak. He was killed by me in a few soft blows. Later, he seemed to have engaged in a special job with the bandits in our place, entangled with them for a long time, and killed dozens of bandits."

Kiel looked at Xueyasite: "Don't look at me like this, it's impossible to deal with them alone, how could it be possible? At that time, it happened that Lord Knight led a team into the mountains every year to clear up the bandit gang. Haha, I and one of them A gang of bandits has a bit of a grudge."

When he said the word hatred, Keir gritted his teeth. He still remembers the innocent people who fell in the hotel lobby. They were all poor people rescued by him from the lair of bandits, but once they escaped, they had a wonderful new life waiting for them, but were attacked on the spot by daring bandits in the town.

Afterwards, he was so angry that he directly fought back that day, and only then did he burn some of the anger in his heart.

"Afterwards, I happened to cooperate with the army, and with the help of the army, wiped out that bandit gang together. Hmph, wiped out all of them."

During the whole time, Keir was a bit unspeakable. After all, the knights of Crowe blocked the cave at that time, suffocating and burning the last bandits who resisted and the population they plundered in the cave to death.

In the end, all the emaciated corpses were dry and charred.

There are men and women, big and small.

It can only be said that it was the dark past in that incident at that time, but I don’t know how Knight Crowe viewed that incident. Keel became a servant of Knight Crowe, and after learning the way of knighthood from him, he never asked about it. this matter.

"Later, some time ago, I also helped a local knight noble lord, and assisted the other family to wipe out a village that had colluded with a foreign chamber of commerce and lost its rule and management."

Blood Yaster raised his eyebrows when he heard this, and his eyes widened: "Will the whole village be destroyed?"

Waving his hands, Kiel said with an exaggerated expression: "How is it possible? What are you thinking? It's not that exaggerated. It's just that the foreign chamber of commerce is very powerful, and there are many thugs under it. The tax money is poured into that chamber of commerce, and let that chamber of commerce serve as a base in the village."

"Even though we raided and wiped out the foreign chamber of commerce at night, we still encountered fierce resistance when we attacked the village. Not only the personnel of the chamber of commerce, but also the villagers who were bribed and agitated took up arms and fought."

Kiel shrugged: "At that time, I led some soldiers and killed dozens of armed villagers together, as well as a large number of thugs from the Chamber of Commerce, and even a few masters invited."

Speaking of this, Kiel became amused. He talked about his battle with a powerful archer and a mercenary wielding a big sword. It was a real life-and-death battle. 'Armed' villagers with weapons such as farm implements and machetes will make him more content.

"Finally." Kiel took a sip of his drink, his face a bit bitter: "I also executed many enemies who surrendered."

"What a shame!"

Someone cursed in a low voice, and Keel heard it, but he didn't say anything. He also felt ashamed, but that night was a test given to him by Knight Crowe, whether he could become a knight or not.

Compared with what he has obtained now, the actions at that time cannot be said to be wrong for him.

It's just that occasionally I think of this matter in my sleep, which makes Kiel feel a little sorry. After all, the other party surrendered, and he only made a move with a hard heart at that time. Perhaps there was also the effect of the fierce battle that caused him to be too indifferent to life and death.

Keir didn't know at this time that what happened in Withered Leaf Village was actually not only a test for him by Knight Crow, but also a test for him by Baron Kendall.

It was a bit ruthless to say that although Baron Kendall did not object to Crow Knight training the young man Kiel, he also had to go through the test to make sure that Kiel would not deal with him in turn after being trained by the knight to become a knight-level fighter.

A warrior with a cold heart would make him feel more at ease.

-

During the dinner in the evening, Keir talked while eating, and he also talked about the interesting experience in Weedrat Town some time ago.

The story about the thieves guild made some business people who were eating and drinking here quite uncomfortable, and they couldn't help but take a good look at their purses. It seemed that when the name of the thieves guild was mentioned, the thieves and pickpockets of the thieves guild would be able to hide without anyone noticing. It's like taking their money away quietly.

But when it comes to Kiel following the local knights and nobles to wipe out the gang forces, these people related to business still applaud politely to Kiel.

As long as it is a businessman, even if it is a caravan guard, everyone, big or small, will more or less treat those who are entrenched in one place, eating here and there, flattering the superiors and bullying the inferiors, and eating the foreigners before eating the locals. Gangsters hate it.

Xue Yaster carefully chewed and swallowed the small piece of mutton. He was a little weak and had to say: "It seems that although you are young, Keel, you still have a lot of life experience."

Keir shrugged his shoulders. He saw this clearly: "It's not that I have rich experience in life, but that there are people behind me who support me, so when most people shrink their heads, I can stand up and draw my sword to meet them."

"That's right, I have followed many caravans, large and small, and I have seen too many things end in retreat. There are still a few people who can really stand up and fight against them."

A local merchant guard next to him knew Xueyasite, and interjected at this time: "It's not a minority, huh, let me see that there is no such thing at all. They are all turtles who only shrink their heads. Faced with harassment by local forces, all of them are Throwing money away, and being beaten, I just apologized, oh my, my face was hurt by the fists of those thugs~ It's all our fault! Haha, it's funny, isn't it?"

Kiel laughed, and the local villagers who ran the stalls also laughed, but the caravan people who were eating and drinking around couldn't laugh, and the same was true for Blood Fang.

Those who run business outside, except for those large chambers of commerce with sufficient manpower, which one of the rest of them is not low-key and low-key when running a business, just to seize the opportunity to earn those three melons, two dates, copper coins and silver coins?

Looking at the scenery, not to mention anything else, how many merchants died in the development of this theoretically shortest commercial route before knowing that they used the raised sheep to supply the harpies in exchange for passing through the strange wind grassland? However, no one can count clearly.

It just turned into a pile of monster feces that nourished the grass in obscurity.

-

After eating, Kiel first helped Xueyasite to his tent. Since Xueyasite wanted to say that he was with Kiel, Kiel was not polite, even though the other party was nearly twenty years older than him, But the status of the two is obviously higher than him, not only in terms of strength, but also in terms of wealth.

Kiel bought a set of single-person tents and related tools for traveling merchants camping out in the central aisle, and returned to the place where Crow Knight lived with the things in his arms. On the way back, he also saw several priests, including the previously unconscious Priest Rosari, who were busy at night healing the ears of the soldiers who could not hear.

When their divine power was not enough, they just prayed on the spot to recover their divine power, and several priests also had unique ways of recovering their divine power because of their different beliefs.

The two Saturn priests are the most convenient. After seeking the consent of Baron Kendall, they recruited hundreds of Saturn believers. They are all young peasants. They have believed in Saturn since they were born because of their families. Today, they have been influenced by magic. , organized at this moment, under the guidance of the Saturn priest, prayed to the Saturn God, and could quickly supplement the divine power they used with the faith of prayer.

Keel couldn't understand the reason, he didn't understand the relationship between faith and prayer, and the power of the gods, the power of the priest. He was puzzled by this point, after all, he still had a large amount of Saturn's divine power in his body, which could support him in fighting, walking, digging, carrying and so on. Is he a priest of Saturn?

Obviously not, and he doesn't know any magic. But the divine power of the **** of agriculture is still assisting him in fighting, providing him with energy far exceeding that of ordinary people. And he doesn't believe in the God of Saturn. He just has a good impression of this **** who takes care of the agricultural population, but he doesn't claim to be able to communicate with the gods like the priests. Even ordinary priests can hardly get direct communication with the gods all year round.

But the priest of the God of Wealth Church—the Rosari priest's method of recovering divine power is much more interesting, and Kiel was quite envious even when he heard it.

Priest Rosari found a box of coins that the baron's attendants had just sorted out, plunged straight into it, lifted them up with those heavy and wonderful little things, and dumped them on the upper body of the box.

It was like washing your hair with coins, Keel thought, but he dared not say it out of fear that Priest Rosari would get angry. Through the activeness of the three church priests in turn during the day, according to their performance in battle, the attitude of the people around them has also changed drastically.

Originally, everyone was very respectful to them, but at this moment, Priest Rosari, the God of Wealth, was most respected by the baron and everyone.

Everyone can see that the magic spells performed by the three priests, although the magic spells performed first by the old priest of the Church of the Sun God is the prerequisite for all subsequent successes, but after all, blinding monsters has no intuitive impact.

And being the first to take the shot also suffered a disadvantage. Everyone always remembers the latest and most recent things the most.

So after the battle, although people still respected the old priest, it was far less respectful than the other two priests. Everyone is not blind, and Priest Rosari's mimetic warrior magic played a key role in the subsequent battle. Otherwise, none of their hundreds of people could fly to the sky and completely defeat the flying Harpy.

It was inconvenient for the old priest of the Sun God Church to recover his divine power. After all, it was already night and the sun was setting. But Kiel noticed that the old man just knelt on the ground and changed his direction from time to time to pray in one direction of the sky, and he could get more divine power recovery than the other two, so he could treat more hearing-impaired people Soldier.

Not many people notice this.

After seeing enough, Kiel returned to the vicinity of the Crow Knight's camp. It has to be said that the underground building in Kamsey Village still has a large space. erected.

He set up the accommodation guy for Xueyasite, and he wanted to come over to help, but Keel saw this injured and weak guy, so he let him sit aside, and when the single tent was built, Kiel continued to put the A new subordinate was introduced to the two guards of Knight Crowe.

"That's it, now that you have men, the two of us won't have to help you pack the tent and carriage anymore, right?"

A personal guard said jokingly.

"That's right, thank you for your help before. If it weren't for your help, I would have been too busy alone." Kiel thanked a few words, took out a small handful of copper coins from his purse, and handed it over.

But the two confiscated: "Forget it, if you let the adults see us, you have to say us. Kiel, you are the servant of the adults, and you are still an apprentice. You should learn from the skills of the adults and take care of you. And you and the adults are fighting today. It's too powerful!"

"Sure enough, master and apprentice cooperate to fight together, it is more powerful."

"That's right."

"Quiet!"

Knight Crowe's scolding came from the knight's tent, and several people were afraid to speak.

"Everyone go down to rest. After such a fierce battle during the day, you still have the energy to chat? Do you want to go out and watch the carriage? Anyway, you are full of energy?"

This can be avoided, Keel shrugged his shoulders watching the two guards, and wanted to sneak away on tiptoe, but how could he not make a sound while wearing an iron armor.

Knight Crowe, who had worn armor all his life, knew that Kiel wanted to slip away when he heard the sound, so he called Kiel in.

-

Knight Crowe didn't wear armor. He was supposed to be sentry outside. He was in charge of the night, and Knight Rumi was in charge of the day. But the battle during the day made the two knights understand that they are much safer in the villages at night. These villages can survive in the strange wind grassland full of monsters, which naturally has its own advantages.

So the matter of rotating guards was over, and the two knights still had a good rest in the village at night.

In order to deal with the fierce fighting that may occur during the day.

The knight asked Kiel to sit down, and then stretched out his palm~www.novelbuddy.com~ and asked Kiel to extend his palm to touch.

"Don't stretch out your hand stupidly, this is testing your life energy training! Gather your life energy as quickly as possible and let me see. Get ready to meet my palm."

Kiel quickly took off the steel armor gloves, closed his eyes and clenched his fists tightly. This time without the assistance of the training puppet given by the knight, he directly gathered the life energy in his body.

The fist is open, it looks like a fleshy palm, but under the skin is full of life energy to support it.

Knight Crowe nodded in satisfaction. He had been tapping the chair with his other hand just now, counting the time Kiel had consumed. The result satisfied him.

"Very good, let me see how your life energy is."

Kiel took a deep breath, straightened his arm and slammed the knight's palm.

hum—

After a few seconds, Keir curled his lips and lowered his arms again, a little speechless.

Knight Crowe was also happy: "It seems that the speed of gathering is not bad, but why it collapsed at the first touch. For example, even the army of goblins is more united and cohesive than your life energy, and it is not easy to be defeated."

Keel scratched his head.

"You still have to eat more monster meat. Let your life energy continue to be replenished. Your life energy is just developing and it is growing rapidly. Eat more monster meat, just right, we got a lot of this stuff today. Except for the part that will definitely be sold for money in the future, the rest is probably enough for you to eat life energy until your body is full."

As soon as he said this, Kiel puffed up his mouth. He really didn't want to eat monster meat that tasted weird and looked weird. The previous water ghost meat had made him lose all interest in this stuff.

But looking at Knight Crowe, it seems that eating this food is cheaper than Keel.
