Kuruman's expression became rather angry at the mockery of his words, and he stared at me with a menacing look in my direction. After seeing Il, there was a disdain in his vicious eyes, but when he saw me behind Il, his eyes changed significantly, like a vicious dog reprimanded by his master, and his original strong anger turned into fear.

It seems that he is a bully who is afraid of the hard, I thought to myself.

Kuruman furrowed his brows and looked me up and down, as the villagers and soldiers around him stopped fighting and looked at me with the same gaze. It's a little embarrassing to be looked at like this, but when you think about it, their reaction is completely normal, after all, my height is 1.8 meters and a heavy body armor, and the whole body is quite burly in humans.

It is a self-evident fact that for most human beings, tall people are more powerful than those who are shorter, and people who wear heavy armor are more powerful than those who wear light clothing, so under the influence of this stereotyped thinking, it is natural to think that I am a strong person with extraordinary strength.

Perhaps thinking about what attitude to use to talk to me, Kurumman's strength in his arms waned, and Nina took the opportunity to bite him hard.

"Ahh Kuruman screamed and threw his arm to the side, and Nina was thrown out like a kitten, staggering and falling to the ground.

"You damn woman!" The pain in his arm brought Kuruman back into rage, and he took a step closer to Nina, his clenched fists showing that he would never be relentless when it came to violence, even in the face of women.

The swift swing of the fist smashed towards Nina like a hard stone, and as an ordinary girl who had never received any warrior training, Nina certainly didn't have enough reflexes to dodge the blow, the only thing she could do was hold her head with her hands and close her eyes. A few villagers turned their heads away because they didn't want to see what was about to happen.

High-pitched screams pierced the sky.

However, as a girl's shout, that voice seemed too heavy. The strange screams were followed by the astonishment of the villagers and soldiers. Because it is not the girl who suffers the violence that screams, but the man who uses it.

"You, you bastard! Quick, let go! Kuruman desperately shouted in a voice out of tune from pain and fear.

"You only beat old people and women, you really disgrace our men's faces." I said in a cold tone, increasing the force of my fingers to the point where I could crush Kurumman's fist.

"You ......" Kuruman swallowed back the words he had meant to say, if he had been confused by the sudden catch of his fist, he was now fully awake, and realized the difference in strength between himself and me, and realized that even resistance was futile. So he squeezed out a smile with difficulty, and begged me for mercy, "Yes, yes, I was wrong, I was wrong, please let me go......"

Both his tone and expression have changed dramatically, and I have to say that his ability to grovel is really outstanding.

"As a warrior who protects the people of this country, he wantonly oppresses the people, this is not a thing to be forgiven!" With a slight increase in force, there was a gurgling sound of bones squeezing against each other.

"Ahh ”

The surrounding villagers and soldiers all stared at us blankly, even though they saw it with their own eyes, but their brains could not understand when the armored warrior who had been ten paces away had approached us, and how he had caught Kurumman's heavy punch.

It was eerily quiet, so quiet that nothing could be heard except breathing, with one exception, of course, and that was the sound of Kuruman desperately begging for mercy.

Now that everyone's attention was focused, I slowly let go of my fingers as I was pleased with the effect. As if escaping death from the mouth of a beast, Kuruman quickly retreated with his wounded fist.

Kuruman was expected to quickly mount his horse and flee, but he stopped when he stepped back to the horse, and he looked at me, and then at the soldier beside him, as if he was still hesitating to escape.

It seems that the previous move was not enough to deter, so I walked to a large tree next to me, and then threw a punch forward. The part of the tree that was hit shattered instantly, and the cracks continued to extend along the tree, and in an instant, the entire tree turned into firewood.

"If you still want to fight me, let's go together!"

The soldiers looked incredulous and took a step back.

"No, no, no, how dare we fight you, may I ask who you are?"

Shocked by my strength, Kuruman asked with a shudder.

"My name is Carter, and I'm just a traveler."

"Mr. Carter, I'm sorry for the offense before, but we also have a hard time doing this, this is the lord's order, if we can't complete the task, we will also be embarrassed, I think you must not want to have a conflict with the nobles of this country, so can you pretend that you didn't see it?" Kuruman put on an embarrassed expression, and his tone was full of helplessness, but there was a hint of threat hidden in his eyes. The implication is that if I try to stop them, I'm going to offend rather bad people.

Ah, it looks like I've been poked in the weak spot right now, and although I don't take the so-called lord seriously, it's not easy to be targeted before becoming a hero, and it will hinder my plans.

Perhaps seeing my hesitation, Kuruman smiled and took a step forward, "Mr. Carter, why don't you let me take you to meet the lord, someone as capable as you will definitely soar!" ”

"Don't listen to him! Mr. Carter! ”

"The lord is an insatiable 'vampire'!"

Perhaps fearing which side of Kurumman I would fall towards, the emotions of the surrounding villagers boiled again.

"Everyone, please be quiet."

Hearing my words, the villagers stopped scolding, but they still stared at Kuruman angrily, showing that they had been resentful for a long time.

Feeling quiet again, I looked at Kurumman, "It's more in line with my character than a free traveler in the country, how much do you say you need them to pay?" ”

"One hundred silver coins."

"What if you convert it into gold coins?"

Kuruman looked confused, as if puzzled by my words, but replied respectfully, "If you want a universal gold coin, one is enough." ”

"Then you can use this to make a difference," I said, pulling a gold coin from my pocket and tossing it at Kurumman.

Kuruman took the gold coin, a light flashed in his eyes, he pocketed the gold coin, and then regained his weak expression, "But the lord still needs ten strong men to ......"

"Take a good look at them, I don't think there's anyone you need here!" Before Kuruman could finish speaking, I interrupted him and pointed around, and indeed there was not a young male among the villagers in this village, and the youngest man looked to be nearly forty years old.

"Even if you say so, ......" Kuruman still didn't give up.

"Then let's use this instead of a strong man!" I threw the other gold coin in my pocket out as well.

"Ah, ah, Mr. Carter, you are really ...... Be generous," Kuruman hurriedly took the gold coin and stuffed it into his pocket, "Actually, I don't want to embarrass the villagers, all of this is the order of the lord." ”

It seemed to use me as a cash cow, and there was a greedy look in Kurumman's eyes.

"If you are too greedy, you will die." I took a step towards Kurumman.

Hearing the warning in my words, Kuruman stepped back in fear, turned and mounted his horse, and said to the villagers around him with pretended composure, "Then for Mr. Carter's sake, you don't need to be strong this time." ”

Kuruman then turned his horse's head, shouted for us to go, and fled with his soldiers.

What a two-faced guy!

"Il, see if anyone is hurt." Thinking about whether there were any injuries in the riot just now, I hurriedly asked Il to confirm.

But before I could say anything, Il had already run to Nina.

"Are you hurt?" He picked up Nina, who had fallen to the ground, and said in an extraordinarily gentle tone.

"I'm fine," Nina looked a little shy, blushing and bowing her head.

Ah, ah, it seems that there is a situation, is it possible that Il is in love with Nina, no wonder he stood up when he saw Nina being bullied before, but Nina is indeed cute, tsk, it's good to be young!

Just as I was thinking so, Il said something that surprised me.

"It's great if you weren't hurt! Kilo said your cooking is delicious, cook for us, I'm already hungry! ”

After being stunned for a moment, Nina said with some loss, "Okay, I'll go." ”

Ah, I see! I said how could I be so active in saving her this time, it turned out to be for this purpose! It's really in line with your personality!
