Chapter 39: Maya

A farmer dressed in coarse cloth leans over the field to pull weeds. The uncovered carriage of the pen and the fun www.biquge.info drove on the rough dirt road, shaking and jumping. Passers-by are sparsely populated, but most of them travel in groups. Sturdy men can often be seen carrying long swords at their waists or with daggers tied to their legs.

This world is called Manluo by Du Shen. Because there is no consensus on the name of the whole world by the natives here, Du Shen can only substitute for him. Manlo is the name of an ancient god in this world. Although few indigenous people remember its deeds, its impact on the world is still alive today.

It has been more than ten days since he came to this world, and Du Shen's situation is not very good. At least in the eyes of others.

It's just that Du Shen barely carried any supplies, and he teleported from the dark blue star with his bare hands. It's not that Hilda is stingy, it's not that she has too few crystals of divine power. Instead, Du Shen took the initiative to reduce consumption out of the consideration of saving.

Secretly, Du Shen already regarded all the divine crystals owned by Hilda as his private property. Whether it is returning to the Deep Blue Star from Manlo in the future, or going to other worlds from the Deep Blue Star, it will cost Hilda's poor Divine Crystal. Du Shen can naturally save for the future.

With Nai He Zhu in hand, a few days is enough time for Du Shen to solve all life problems. In fact, because of the use of skeleton warriors to eliminate a gang of horse bandits nearby, Du Shen now has a lot of wealth.

However, in order to achieve his goal, Du Shen has always behaved very hard. To outsiders, he was a wandering trader. Although his clothes were ordinary, he had fine skin and tender flesh. looks down, but his background must be extraordinary. Either a nobleman whose family is in decline, or a concubine who is not favored by a small aristocratic family. In short, such a person is not something that civilians can provoke.

Because of this, although Du Shen did not accompany him like others, he was not harassed in the slightest along the way. Of course, the unpretentious sword that Du Shen straddled diagonally was also an important reason.

Along the way, horse-drawn carriages passed by, and occasionally empty coachmen stopped to solicit business from Du Shen. Given that I had been seated once, the bumps in the carriage were really uncomfortable. Du Shen successively rejected the advice of several coachmen and always walked on foot.

It was past noon, and Du Shen finally arrived at his destination. Ignoring the flickering gazes of a few ruffians and scoundrels, Du Shen inquired about a decadent militiaman and walked into the town's only tavern and inn.

It was lunchtime, but there weren't many diners in the tavern. Threes and threes occupy less than half of the seats. Du Shen quickly glanced around, walked to a remote position and sat down. He unsheathed the sword at his waist and slammed it down on the table.

"Smack!" accompanied by a clear sound. Most of those eyes that were secretly looking at Du Shen disappeared in an instant.

The young servant Ou walked up to Du Shen with a smile and asked Du Shen about his needs. Du Shen casually ordered a few things that were not expensive but were hearty enough, and urged the other party to send them quickly.

He departed happily. Du Shen gently wiped the long sword on the table with a cloth, and secretly pricked up his ears. Soon, he captured information about himself.

It was a group of three men seated, two of them looking dusty, each with a bulging leather package beside them.

Another man dressed as a farmer nodded while drinking: "It seems to be true." The gang of horse thieves in the north has indeed been destroyed. I don't know if it's the wandering knight who does justice, or another horse thief who grabs the territory. ”

"I've heard," the bearded middle-aged merchant bowed slightly, but didn't lower his voice, "it seems bizarre. Rumor has it that it was the fleshless skeleton undead who killed the bandits!"

"This," said the farmer, turning his wooden glass slightly, hesitated, "I have heard of it too." It seems to be catching a horse thief who is wounded and fleeing for his life. After torture and interrogation, the horse thief said so. ”

The farmer suddenly laughed, shook his head, and said, "But most of them can't stand the fight, and they talk nonsense." The undead can only be those legendary wizards. But which wizard is so bold? They are not afraid of the encirclement of the Temple? The wizard kills the horse thief and does justice?"

The farmer shook his head and laughed, as if he had never heard of such a ridiculous thing.

The farmer chuckled. The two vendors who inquired about the news glanced at each other, and suddenly heard a sharp voice from their side: "I don't know if the wizard did it." But I know a little bit about the skeleton undead. If you will invite me to a large glass of ale, I will tell you what I know. ”

The person who interjected was a young squire. It seems to be a servant of a large family, who is idle here.

The middle-aged merchant with a scruffy beard looked at the attendant who interjected, and raised his hand to greet the servant: "Send this little brother a large glass of ale." Count us in. ”

"Very well," said the servant cheerfully busy, "please wait a moment. ”

The attendant who interjected saw the servant taking the wooden cup and pouring the wine. He got up happily and sat down across from the farmer. He unceremoniously picked up a piece of barbecue on the table, and said as he ate, "The wizard doesn't know. But the skeletal undead are definitely real. I have a relative who lives in Stone Village. It's the one from Kitayama, you know, right?"

The squire raised his chin to the farmer.

The farmer nodded unhappily.

The attendant looked at the two big-headed vendors beside him and smiled proudly: "My relatives told me." In their village, some people saw with their own eyes that human skeletons were wandering in the mountains. I guess the horse thief's lair to the north has been taken over by the skeletal monsters. You want to go north to sell goods, right?"

The attendant turned his head and spat out a bone, and asked the two vendors vaguely. Seeing that the two vendors nodded, the attendant continued to take the meat: "I advise you to wait a few days." Stone Village has reported the news to the lord. The lord decided to lead his troops to encircle and suppress the skeletons. It is estimated that the fight will start in two days at most. Right now, the Archon is busy gathering food and grass. ”

The archon in the mouth of the squire is the mayor of this Talon town.

"I know the news," the farmer glared at his rival angrily, "and my neighbor works on the estate. He told me that the Earl's family had taken up residence in the manor to the east last night. It is said that all the knights will be feasted there today. ”

"Don't worry," said the farmer, clapping his hand as if to comfort him, "I heard that this time, all the knights in the realm will come." Dozens of them! Even if there were wizards hiding in the thieves' lair, they would definitely be cut to pieces. ”

"Excuse me," Du Shen led the servant and walked over with food, "If you don't mind, I'll invite you this time." ”

The attendant turned his head to look at the food in the hands of Du Shen and the servant, and was immediately overjoyed. The farmer hung his head and looked at the two vendors who had been treated. As for the two vendors, they didn't care much about the cost of the meal. They looked at Du Shen a few times, got up one after another, and greeted politely. The attendant then got up and enthusiastically helped Du Shen set up the food.

The table is not large, but it is large enough for five people to sit around. Du Shen asked Ou to bring some more ale wine, and made it clear that the previous expenses of the table would be paid by himself.

Du Shen took the lead, and the five people present briefly introduced themselves. Two vendors, just ordinary civilian traders. The farmer is a resident of Talon and a militiaman. The squire is the servant of the mayor's family.

After some greetings, Du Shen asked the attendants: "I heard that the big war is coming." I don't know if the lord's palace is short of supplies? After a long time in the downstream, most of the supplies can be supplied. ”

The eyes of the two vendors lit up, and although they did not have much hope, they still craned their necks to stare at the attendants.

The attendant took a sip of ale wine, cleared his throat, and then said reservedly, "It's not that I don't want to help you. I'm sure you've all heard of the Mayan family's rich reputation. The Earl is not short of money, and since he has decided to go to war, he must have prepared all kinds of supplies long ago. It's just a transshipment right now. ”

"So, is there still a shortage of manpower," Du Shen sideways showed the long sword at his waist, and said smugly, "I can not only help carry supplies, but also kill the enemy!"

The attendant looked Du Shen up and down a few times, shook his head, and said, "The earl doesn't seem to plan to gather the servant army. I heard that the main force this time was dozens of knights and their private soldiers. Don't look at the hundreds of people. But they were all official knights. One can hit dozens of ordinary people. I don't think your Excellency is not a knight yet, is he/she afraid that he will not be able to get into the eyes of the Count. ”

"Hundreds of knights, so many?" Du Shen pretended to be surprised. You must know that the knights of this world are not casual titles. Without the strength to meet the standards, the claim to be a knight will only make people laugh.

The attendant coughed lightly, knowing that he was getting carried away and blowing a little too much. He corrected impatiently: "Oh, there are indeed only a few dozen real knights. But the others are all excellent servants, and all of them are prepared knights. What they are bad about is just the perception of battle. Perhaps, after this battle, someone will break through and get the seal. I wouldn't be wrong when I said they were knights!"

Time passed slowly, and it was evening in the blink of an eye. After several investigations, Du Shen roughly understood the reality of Eagle Claw Manor.

In this encirclement and suppression, the Maya family mobilized almost all the knights under their command. The number of real knights should be less than fifty, but it should not be underestimated. It must be known that the human beings in the Manluo world are blessed, and when ordinary people become adults, their physical attributes can easily exceed 5 points, far overwhelming the dark blue star people. As for the so-called knight, the three main attributes of the body must all reach 10 points.

The increase of attributes is not a simple linear relationship for the improvement of combat effectiveness. Coupled with the gap in combat skills, it is common for a real knight to deal with militia with only 5 or 6 attributes, and it is common for one person to crush more than a dozen people.

Unfortunately, limited to the innate gap, although Du Shen had already fused his divinity, his current attributes were exactly between 5 and 6 points. Fortunately, he has the Nai Ho Zhu and doesn't have to go into battle himself.

There are skeleton warriors whose strength is comparable to that of knights, and Du Shen doesn't care about the knights of the Maya family. He was worried about the Mayan family itself, and even Count Leon Maya himself.

You must know that the nest of the horse thief exterminated by Du Shen is not in the territory of the Maya family, but only close to it. The horse thieves had been around for years, and the Maya family had been turning a blind eye. And now, less than twenty days after Du Shen exterminated the horse thief, Count Maya mobilized all the people to gather all the horses, intending to eliminate Du Shen who suddenly appeared.

What was the reason for Count Maya's unusual behavior? Du Shen had personally tortured the leader of the horse thieves, they were not thugs raised by the Maya family, and they even had no interest in the Maya family.

Is it out of justice? Du Shen did not believe it. Despite Count Maya's reputation for benevolence, Du Shen prefers to believe that the other party is interested in his identity. Most likely, Count Maya himself was also a wizard.

Wizards, their strength may be low, but their methods are mostly secretive. Du Shen's current strength is comparable to that of ordinary Manluo militia. If you face a wizard, you may die.

However, why did the random teleportation across the world send Du Shen to the vicinity of Maya's territory? However, the name of Count Maya, for Du Shen, his previous life can be described as thunderous. Moreover, in the other party's hands, there is at least one thing that Du Shen covets.

After some consideration, Du Shen still decided to test the lord's manor tonight. Since the fall of Manlo in the previous life, Count Maya played an extremely important role in it. Now that he had a chance encounter, Du Shen felt that it was better to kill him as soon as possible.
