Chapter 46: The Brotherhood
The sun is dim, for a week, Bibo and Bruce have been avoiding the orcs, Bibo even began to like the wind and snow weather, which will make everyone's vision worse, hidden whereabouts, but this kind of weather, not only is it still cold and biting, but it is easier to be discovered by the enemy, the dwarves have been tortured by the nerves, because they are not orcs, it may also be the people who are chasing Bibo, and now on the continent, the rumors of Lannos's descendants have long been no secret.

When Bibo returned, the dwarves were still sitting on their horses, their backpacks were almost empty, and the formation was already close to Sunset Town, although the villages were gradually increasing, but they were either uninhabited or infested by orcs, just like the village that Bibo had explored, Bruce had no hope at first.
"The people nearby have already evacuated to Sunset Town!" The dwarf said, "Only fools like us would wander here. ”
"Alright, man!" Bibo whispered, "We'll be in Sunset soon, and I promise you'll be able to relax there!" ”
"It's like you have money on you!" The dwarf pouted, "Forget it, it's not up to me!" ”
"You're right, dwarves!" Bibo smiled embarrassedly, "Do we want to find some work in Sunset Town to get some living expenses, after all, I don't know how to start looking for clues." ”
The dwarf gave Bibo a blank look, "I think it's okay, you can scrub the floor of the tavern, or help out in the kitchen, but I won't accompany you!" He was still on horseback, and Bibo led the horse in front, and the two of them looked around as they walked, and while the sight was still good, they didn't want to let go of a place where they could rest, and in Bibo's words, he didn't want to be crammed into a small tent with a dwarf in his life, and he would rather be locked up with a jackal.
"Look!" The dwarf pointed to a building in front of him, "A monastery? ”
Beneath our feet was already a road that had begun to look like a road connecting the villages to Sunset, and the monks of the monastery prayed daily for the farmers of the villages, and Bibo and Bruce were full of joy, a place that meant food and beer that the monks had brewed themselves, but it was not known if they had left at the moment.
After knocking on the door, the cloister door was closed, and Bibo turned his head and shrugged, "It seems that there is no one!" "The monastery is actually only two stories high, not much larger than an ordinary inn, and Bibo knows that the first floor of this building is a prayer hall, and the second floor is where the monks sleep, and it seems that there are only one or two monks living in this kind of building. Behind the building is a small courtyard where the monks should have grown their own vegetables.
"Forget it, let's open the door! It's just a break. The dwarf jumped off his horse, "I only need a light axe for this kind of door......"
Before Bruce could finish speaking, the door creaked open, and a monk in a gray cloth robe looked at them coldly, he was about fifty years old, except for a slightly strong body, gray and white hair and wrinkles like other common monks, his hand holding the door was rough, his eyes were not very sharp, but he did not hide his vigilance, "If it wasn't the time for chaos, I would definitely report it to the sheriff near here, or the guard of Sunset Town, you two guys, go away quickly!" ”
"Wait!" Bibo took the lead and stopped the monk, "We're just a normal traveler, through a blizzard, you know, we just want a place to rest, that's all!" ”
"The god of light, even though you are wearing the uniforms of the soldiers of the Rust Legion, I find it hard to believe that a dwarf will join the Rust Legion," the monk stared at Bibo, "you came from so far here?" Why? ”
"Uh, news," Bibo hurriedly replied, "news, yes, we brought news of the battle with the orcs on the grasslands, and these are important for the defense of Sunset Town!" ”
"That's right!" The dwarf shouted, "The Rust Legion has joined forces with the Serekon cavalry to begin strangling those hateful creatures in the Prancing Horse Meadows!" We have news of orc sources, which really helps Sunset Town's defense! Also, we've crossed the Prancing Horse Prairie to get here, and we're pretty good, monk! It's not safe here, we can protect you, or you can pay for it, and we'll escort you to Sunset! ”
"Oh? Hehe! The monk said with great interest, "Now there is a lot of talk in the prayer hall of the god of light, I will allow you to spend the night there, let me hear what you have to say!" Also, I really want to get your protection, and I have to do something for old Joey and me before you leave tomorrow. ”
"What? No, no, no! Sitting in the prayer hall of the little convent, after listening to what the monk had said, Bruce's head shook incessantly, "We are just passing by, and we don't want to make any trouble!" ”
"Help me!" Brother Joy said angrily, "It's true that they are humans, but they do the same thing as those orcs and brutes!" They claim to be the Brotherhood of the Savior, but in fact they are a group of robbers, they took advantage of the orcs to leave, they launched an attack on several villages in this vicinity, everything was looted by them, people can run, can hide! They've even killed people! ”
"It's as vicious as an orc!" Bibo said, "Why don't we go and get rid of them!" ”
"No way!" Brother Joy waved his hand, "I'm the only one left here, they've taken a lot of food, and tomorrow morning, they're going to move it!" ”
"What's that?" Bibo asked.
"It's the idol of the god of light," said the dwarf, "and it's worth a little money here, it looks like gold and silver, but it's not that big." ”
"Anyway, I can't let these guys destroy the idol, I wanted to take the idol, but they're going to catch me," Brother Joy sighed, "If you really can, please help me, soldiers, the god of light is protecting you, and you can't just let it go when it needs it!" ”
"How many of them are there?" The dwarf muttered, "I knew I was wearing my own clothes." ”
"Five or so, the leader is called Bullhead, he always wears a horned helmet, two scimitars make people shudder, of course their brotherhood is said to have hundreds of people, even when the number of orc attacks increases, they also start to take advantage of the chaos! They killed several people in this village! Brother Joy said, "So, you will be protected by the God of Light and help me get rid of them, and then I will go with you to Sunset Town, where you still have a place where you can use old Joey, but if you don't want to help, that's fine, after all, these days, the God of Light has nothing to do with the orcs!" Ay! ”
"With us, can we beat the five of them?" Bibo looked at the dwarf, thinking to himself that this guy called Bull Head didn't seem to be so easy to deal with, he had seen the cavalry of Serikon wielding scimitars, and dealing with orcs was like chopping vegetables.
"Not necessarily!" The dwarf looked at the monk, "Can you fight?" What weapons will be used? ”
Brother Joy said, "May I try it, do you have any extra weapons?" Sword? Short knives or something? I could spend an afternoon practicing! ”
"Okay, okay!" The dwarf laughed as if he had heard some joke, "Look, Bibo, you're the best of the three of us!" Forget it, monk, is there any wine? This can be regarded as adding some courage to us! ”
Brother Joy nodded, and immediately took out a small oak barrel, "That's all left of this keg of pale ale, and there isn't much to eat, just some plum pies and brown bread!" ”
Bibo fell asleep early in the morning, Bruce remembered to snore, and by the warm fireplace in the prayer hall, the two forgot for a moment the battle the next morning, and just wanted to sleep well, Brother Joy looked at the statue of the god of light, his expression was solemn, and after adding firewood to the fireplace, he went upstairs and returned to his room, but he could not sleep.
Early in the morning, the people of the Brotherhood came as promised, Bibo and the dwarf hid on the second floor, they watched from the room as the bull head rushed in with people, old Joey had no power to parry, was pushed and shoved into the prayer hall, and after a while, the bull head and the people were ready to leave, and one of his men was holding the idol hard.
The dwarf shouted, jumped out of the window, and quickly slashed at the man on the far right with his tomahawk, and after being parried by the sword, he slashed to the left, slashing at the shoulder of the man in the half-rusty cuirass, who fell to the ground, blood gushing out of his shoulder. The tall man with the bull's helmet immediately asked the idol to be lowered, and the four men surrounded the dwarf in the middle, and the bull's head drew its crossed scimitar from his waist, ready to deal with the sudden attacker.
Bibo also jumped out, he raised the sword above his head, and struck the next enemy in the face with the hilt, and immediately blood splattered, the man wailed and threw away the hand axe in his hand, Bibo immediately turned the direction of the longsword and plunged the tip of the sword into his chest, Bibo felt his weapon break the enemy's ribs, and the enemy fell backwards. Bruce slashed so hard from top left to bottom right that he broke an enemy's sword, and the wound was so great that he didn't have time to make a sound before he could fall to the ground.
The bull head took a step back, saw the opportunity, and slashed at the dwarf with two swords, Bibo took the opportunity to finish out one of the remaining robbers, which was also a fatal sword, Bibo began to become more and more confident, and he began to look for opportunities, ready to deal with this guy. The bull head is very strong, and he swings his twin knives at an unusually fast speed, and gradually begins to find a breakthrough for Blue, and begins to fall into passivity, Bibo blesses himself and the dwarves, but still can't break the deadlock.
Suddenly, the idol of the god of light rushed over, it hit the bull's chest directly, the bull head was caught off guard and was knocked to the ground, Bibo and the dwarf poked their weapons at the bull's head that fell to the ground, strangely enough, this time there was no blood gushing out, but dark green with black liquid flowing out of the wound, Joey was out of breath, just now he picked up the idol and slammed the blow, so that he exhausted all his strength, he smiled and said, "Okay! To die at the hands of the God of Light is to die a well-deserved death! ”
"Oh my God!" Bruce removed the bullhead's helmet, and the dwarves were taken aback by the situation under the mask, and they couldn't help but cry out.
Bibo was studying the blood of the bull's head, he heard the dwarf's shout, and quickly looked up, only to see that on the huge body with the helmet removed, there was only a small disproportionate head, and it basically retained the appearance of a human, but the fangs had pierced the lips, and the round eyes were blood-red.
