I readily agreed to him: "Three Swadian heads for us to enter the city." Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½ā
After hearing this, he looked at the cavalry in the distance in amazement, then unloaded the sword from his waist, threw it to me, and said, "No, it's three heads for three heads, I will take the two people behind you, and I will wait for you at Rudabao." "I took the sword and drew the blade, the blade was so smooth that it reflected my cheeks, and the cold sword light shot into my eye sockets.
I closed the hilt of my sword and said, "Why? The team leader sneered and said, "Originally, the lives of the three of you had to be explained here, but I was kind enough to let you take the heads of three people in exchange for your lives." I looked at him coldly, and Xiao Siwei behind me suddenly said: "I'm from Nord, why are you like this." (For the sake of mentioning, there are countries where people look differently, Rhodok and Svadia are located in the middle of the continent and are taller, with whiter skin, a high nose bridge, green eyes, and yellow hair, while Nord and Virgia are in the north, with blue eyes, yellowish hair, low nose bridge, short stature, and yellow skin.) Sultan and Kugit are in the south of the continent, the human race is of medium stature, dark skin, dark hair, low nose bridge, and black eyes, although there are mixed-race children, but after all, they are a minority, and generally mixed-race people are more handsome, although the protagonist grew up in Sudan, but he is of Rhodok blood. ļ¼
The leader squinted at her and said, "You are no longer a Nord, the Nords from Svadia are just traitors. If it weren't for the fact that you were a woman, you wouldn't be alive until now. ā
I walked up to one of the horsemen, pointed at him with the unsheathed Changjian, and said, "Your horse is mine." The cavalryman spat at me disdainfully, and I kicked him off his horse. I led the horse to little Siwei and said, "You go with them first, and I'll be back soon." ā
Then I got on my horse and rode away, and disappeared at the end.....
I came to the edge of a cliff, and now the sun was setting, and the sky had darkened, and only a few crimsons were left in the distance, and I looked down the hill, and two Swadians caught my attention, a tall and clumsy man stopped a thin young man, whose scimitar was flailing around with great ferocity, and the boy was cowardly and overwhelmed.
This is the story of those two Swadians.
The man with the knife was named Dick, his grandfather's grandfather was a royal knight of Svadia, his grandfather was a knight of the Knights, his father was an ordinary knight, but in his generation, he could not become a knight, Dick studied with his father for a long time, and finally reluctantly became a quasi-knight of a second-rate knight, and then unfortunately at a banquet he knocked over the wine glass and spilled the wine on the bare head of the head of the Knights.
He was expelled from the Order, and his father was angry with him, but his father only taught him about knighthood, although his father only knew about knighthood, he could memorize knightly creed backwards, but he could not write a single big word, he could only be an apprentice in a small blacksmith shop, but he was lazy by nature, and he was so stupid that he couldn't even learn to strike iron.
Later, the boss threw 2 dinars in his face and told him to get out, but he also has the advantage, that is, to resist blows, although the boss belittled him so much, but he was not discouraged at all, and actually began to become diligent, he learned to farm farmers in the field, and the simple farmers were happy to guide him, and those who couldn't learn to farm were not saved.
He learned, and the first year was a bumper harvest, ears of rice piled up in his warehouse, he succeeded for the first time, tears of excitement were left, unfortunately, that year Svadia went around the war, the food supply was insufficient, his ears of rice were all bought at a low price, it is better to say that it is a low-price purchase than to rob, fortunately he hid 20 catties of rice ears in the room, he was able to survive that year, I said, his advantage is to resist blows.
The next year, he continued to cultivate diligently, and this year, he met his true daughter, a woman appeared in his life, the woman was from Nord, and the blue eyes were unusually charming, Dick was so enchanted that he vowed to pursue her, and he piled all the things he had at the woman's door.
The next day, the woman took all the gifts from Dick, and he was ecstatic, but when he walked into the woman's room, there was only a dead wood bed left, and the man was long gone, and Dick experienced the frustration of love for the first time, and he became destitute and lost his voice in the woman's room.
Dick swore to kill her, he followed the trail, until he found Nord, assassinated the woman in her hometown, and killed her for his life, Dick was captured by the city's guards and sentenced to death, but in the chaos of the times, a night attack by Swadia allowed him to escape smoothly, and he was left in the forest near Rudaburg.
But as I said, he was stupid, even if he was a robber, he never made a fortune, and today he saw a weak boy on the road and decided to settle his expenses for the month.
This young man's name is Wate, from a poor village in Swadia, the character of the villagers who hide when they encounter trouble makes him cowardly and inferior, but his parents have high expectations for him, let him study from the only poet in the village, Waite is very talented, but after all, he can't change his cowardly nature, the poet taught him for two years, found his parents, and said: "This little boy is only suitable for farming at home, and he will not be productive, he cannot escape cowardice." With that, he left the village.
Waite's father was furious and committed domestic violence against Waite every day, and Waite's mother also hated that iron could not be made of steel, but watching her husband fist and kick her son every day, the motherhood in her heart would inevitably be stimulated, and she began to feel sorry for her son.
Waite was often bullied by the rest of the village, but he was surprisingly fond of learning, he learned the original geometry, read the Bible by heart, and could calculate the last 16 decimal places of pi......
But his father would feel disdain and shame when he saw his weakness, and finally one day, he could not bear it anymore and kicked him out of the house, Waite was innocent and could only live in the stable for night after night, his mother would often secretly bring him food, but the paper could not contain the fire, and his father beat Wate's mother and drove Waite out of the village.
Waite's mother was reluctant to leave him, shoving all her savings into his hands: 20 dinars. Then he said to him: "Son, next year when the snow falls, whether you come back outside or not, your father will forgive you." ā
Saying goodbye to his mother in tears, Waite went to a town in Nord to start from scratch, he was cowardly, but he was ingenious and capable, he cut down three fine trees in the woods on the outskirts of the city, and then carved them into various puppets, then collected bluegrass, safflower, madder, comfrey, etc., crushed them, mixed them with water, colored each puppet, and then set up a stall in the city's market.
Because Waite's stuff is very special, it has become a sought-after commodity, a puppet is 10 copper coins, and you can earn a dinar by buying 10 puppets.
But Waite didn't just want money, he began to study some new gadgets, such as mechanical arts, and because of his excellent knowledge, everything went well, and he also compiled a book "Four Translations of Fang Zun". He took the book with him, and saw that he had been out for a year, and he was about to start winter, so he set out on his way home.
This is where he meets Dick.
