Chapter 6: The Boy's Name
After receiving the boy's instructions, Sixteen Rock Fifteen and Sixteen Rock Seventeen glanced at each other. The two of them knew www.biquge.info that the boy was doing this to make them prove that he didn't want to have anything to do with the witch again.
Sixteen Yan Seventeen did not hesitate, stepped forward, raised the sword, and swung it downward, directly cutting off the neck of the evil witch. Her movements were too big, and the last two were too close, and the blood of the dead splattered on the bodies of the living, waking up the last man. This person is what Sixteen Rock Fifteen said, the girl who often bullied them in the eighteenth phase of the Rock Word Camp.
When she opened her eyes, she saw Sixteen Rocks and Seventeen with blood splattered on her clothes, and her eyes were full of shock. She wanted to scream, but she saw the corpses of the people around her. In order to kill the boy with one sword, each sword is right in the heart, so the death of the deceased is not so scary. But the person next to her was different, the neck that had lost her head exposed her vertebrae, and she was still spurting blood outward, and the terrifying scene was not something that ordinary people could bear.
She was so stunned that she forgot to pick up the weapon beside her to resist. Sixteen Yan Seventeen wanted to kill her with one sword, but was stopped by the young man. Sixteen Rocks knew what the boy meant, and if he didn't kill the girl, he wouldn't be able to gain his trust. Without the boy's trust, she and her friends would not have been able to gain freedom.
Biting her lip, she finally made up her mind, stepped forward, and raised her sword.
"No...... Don't ......"
The evil witch had a slight reaction when she saw the sword raised, but it was too late, because Sixteen Rocks and Fifteen had already made up her mind.
“…… I'm sorry. ”
Sixteen Yan Fifteen said this sentence from the heart, and then raised the knife in his hand and slashed the girl's throat.
"Good."
The boy nodded, and set about collecting the witch's ghost mask, as well as other loot. Since it was too difficult for him to pick up women's clothes, the work was given to Sixteen Rock Fifteen and Sixteen Rock Seventeen. The boy asked the girls to wrap the booty in witch costumes, which made it much easier to pick up.
About half an hour later, the boys and maidens walked out of the cave with the booty. It turns out that the fourteenth witch was indeed eaten by her companions, and the boy found a bloody witch dress and a matching mask in the cave, and also found ribs suspected to belong to a human in a soup pot.
"Big Bunny !!"
After leaving the cave, the boy shouted. Within five minutes, the big rabbit appeared in the field of vision of the three of them, followed by several rabbits of normal size.
"Oh yes!"
The big rabbit seems to have adapted to life working under a teenager and has completely forgotten that he is a "wild" animal. When he returned to the boy, he couldn't wait to report to him the news of Erlong Village and Xiaoyan Village.
As the rabbit guessed, the heavy rain caused heavy losses to Erlong Village, and even several houses were destroyed. The situation in Xiaoyan Village was much better, but the crops were all gone, the earthen walls of the cattle pen were washed away by the rain, and the two cows were gone.
"Can you still understand the rabbit?"
The boy said in surprise as he tied the booty to the big rabbit in the witch maiden costume.
"Russia is a rabbit, of course he can understand rabbit words."
"Can rabbits really talk?"
"It's going to drop, but you can't hear it."
"I see."
With just a few words, the boy had already tied all the loot to the big rabbit.
"Alright, let's go."
"Great!"
The big rabbit didn't realize that he had been used as a temporary porter by the boy, and ran to the front to lead the way, panting.
It is worth mentioning that the boy asked the girls to hand over their weapons and wrap them in the witch maidens' suits. This is not because the boys can't trust them, but because the battle that doesn't count the battle is over, and the girls don't need to go forward with their weapons. He himself wrapped the sword into the witch's suit and let the rabbit carry it for him.
The three of them traveled lightly, and followed the tired big rabbit, but they didn't know why they were so tired, and walked in the direction of the canopy. The big rabbit's ability to recognize the way is much stronger than that of humans, and it can always find the best way to walk recently, which saves the three of them a lot of trouble. It's just that the water on the ground is still there, so the road is still not easy to walk.
In the afternoon, the three of them finally returned to the canopy.
When the three of them returned, Kiki was practicing crossbow arrows outside the canopy. She hung the target as a rag on a tree thirty meters away, picked up the light crossbow, aimed, shot, and hit the target with ease.
Sixteen Rocks' eyes lit up when she saw the light crossbow, and what she liked most was this kind of long-range weapon that didn't need to be distracted to control the power when aiming. But this light crossbow is Kiki's thing, and she is still a young captive, so it is impossible to be cheeky and beg Kiki to lend her light crossbow to play with.
After shooting an arrow, Kiki wanted to reload her crossbow arrows, pull her bowstring, and shoot another arrow. Just as she reached for the bolt, the rabbit raised its front paws and greeted her loudly from behind.
"Yikes! The Russians are back! ”
Kiki was shocked when she heard the sound of the big rabbit, and quickly turned around and hid the light crossbow behind her.
The boy is very concerned about Kiki's safety, so every time he stays with Kiki to watch the house, he always tells her to be careful about the situation around her and not to do superfluous things. There is no doubt that practicing crossbow arrows must be "superfluous" in the eyes of teenagers. Because Kiki, who is concentrating on archery practice, is easy to ignore the situation around her, in case someone or wild animals sneak up on her at this time, ten lives are not enough for her.
"Lord...... Master?! You...... You're back......"
The boy looked at Kiki's panicked appearance and thought it was very funny. But in order to correct her mistake, the boy had to hold back a smile and put on a very serious face.
"Well, I'm back."
"That'...... Then hurry back to the canopy and rest...... I...... I...... I'm going to pick up firewood......"
"Oh? Picking up firewood? ”
The boy glanced at the crossbow quiver tied to Kiki's thigh and asked sharply.
"So you have to carry a quiver to collect firewood?"
"I, I, I...... I'm here for ...... To protect yourself...... That's why I brought a quiver......"
Kiki was in a hurry and said such a ridiculous reason. If crossbow arrows can defend oneself, then crossbowmen don't need to equip self-defense weapons such as daggers and daggers.
The boy didn't puncture the hole in Kiki's words, but stood on tiptoe and looked behind her.
"Is there something you're hiding behind your back?"
"I didn't ...... There is no ......"
"Oh, I see. You must know that my master I was tired after returning from hunting, so I made delicious food for me, right? How about bringing me something delicious? ”
"Ahh Master...... I...... I...... I was wrong! ”
Kiki really couldn't stand the boy's teasing, and while bowing deeply, she held the light crossbow hidden behind her back in front of the boy.
"I don't dare anymore!"
When the young man saw that Qiqi obediently admitted his mistake, he folded his arms and tilted his head and asked.
"Don't you dare to do anything anymore?"
"Don't dare to disobey your master's orders again!"
"Oh, that's right." The boy plucked his ear with his little thumb, "Why do I think this sentence is so familiar?" ”
This sentence was certainly familiar to him, because Kiki had said it no less than twenty times.
"I really don't dare to do it again this time!"
Kiki has said this sentence a little less often, just over ten times.
"What should I do if I violate it again?"
"Again violated...... If you violate it again...... The host is ...... Just punish me casually......"
Kiki's face turned crimson when she said this, and her performance made Sixteen Rock Fifteen and Sixteen Rock Seventeen think of something pink.
Of course, it is impossible for a young man with an honest heart to punish Kiki in that way. He just tickled Kiki's feet with his feathers and didn't allow her to laugh out loud.
"Then we'll settle it." The boy reached out and touched Kiki's head, "I'm hungry, cook for me." ”
"Yes, master!"
Seeing that the boy was not angry, Kiki happily ran back to the canopy to cook with a light crossbow.
The boy untied the booty from the big rabbit, carried it back to the canopy with the two maidens, and loaded it into the wagon. During the rainy days, the young men ate what their horses chewed and consumed a lot of food, just to make room for the booty.
After this, the boy went outside to retrieve Kiki's target and crossbow arrows. Rags are not worth a few dollars, but crossbow arrows are more expensive, even if they are cheap, they cost at least 15 Wen Tairong for a piece.
While the boy went out to retrieve the crossbow arrows, Sixteen Rocks and Seventeen approached Kiki and asked in a low voice.
"This young lady, what is the origin of this adult?"
Kiki didn't have any scheming and replied truthfully.
"The master is a Lytin magician, very powerful."
In the world of Leiting, magicians rule the world, controlling knowledge and resources. Every Ryding mage has been an aristocrat since he graduated, an existence above the commoners. However, that was before the cataclysm, and after the cataclysm, due to changes in the laws of the world, the strength of the Lighting mage was greatly reduced. Although the Ryding Wizard is now dominant among the people of the world, its influence is not as great as it once was.
As the saying goes, a skinny camel is bigger than a horse, and even if its strength and influence become weaker, the Ryding Wizard is an existence that civilians must look up to. There was no doubt that the three girls present were all from commoner backgrounds, and the name of a Letting mage was enough to make them feel very powerful - but the boy was actually a heretical Wettin mage, not a nobleman.
"I know this Lord is a Rytin Magician...... I mean, what does this adult do? ”
"Hmm...... Was it supposed to be a bounty hunter before? The current word...... Be a trader and work part-time as a bounty hunter. ”
"Uh, bounty hunter......"
Bounty hunters, as the name suggests, are people who feed their families on bounties from the Bounty Hunters' Guild. But there are so many tasks for the Bounty Hunters Guild, and if someone does it, others can't. People who can't do tasks can't do it and wait to starve to death, so they often do some side hustles.
For example, teenagers, who specialize in hunting bandits, bandits, bandits and other criminals, and selling the loot for money, is one of the methods. Of course, booty is not only about weapons and horses, but also about captives. Typically, bounty hunters would sell their captives to slave traders for an extra buck.
That's why Sixteen Rocks and Seventeen showed such painful expressions when they accidentally ate flies, and if the teenagers sold them to slave traders, they would either be bought as slave girls or have to spend the rest of their lives in brothels. Either way, the future is bleak.
Sixteen Yan Fifteen didn't think about it so much, because she subconsciously felt that the boy would definitely not do this. She saw that her friend was talking to Kiki, and she also leaned over to interject.
"Speaking of which, we don't know the adult's name yet."
At this time, the boy happened to come back from outside with crossbow arrows and rags. He heard Sixteen Rocks Fifteen's question, smiled bitterly, and replied in a deep voice.
"My name is Mel? Byrons, is it Gray? Son of Byrons. ”
