Chapter 17: Sneak Attack
The mist-shrouded Takaba Mountains and the clouds are connected together, and the mountains are lush and full of life. People who come here for leisure lazily ride their horses and chat while discussing what kind of prey they can catch later.
The foot of the mountain has been largely trodden by people, and in addition to the people of Momiji Town, hunters from some nearby villages will come over to fight the tooth occasionally. These places have basically ruled out the growth of magic plants such as magic cordata.
Before coming again, he inquired, but he didn't hear anything like that at all, and he had heard a lot of haunted news everywhere, so he could only come and find it himself, if there was no result here, then he could only look for it in other places, and at the same time ask the big caravan to go to other cities to see if he could buy it.
Caravans in Fallen Leaf Town generally don't acquire supernatural objects, only the larger Siwa City will have these things. However, if you are willing to pay a large price, you may be able to ask the caravan to help you buy it, but this method is obviously not suitable for the current situation.
Avoid people who come for an outing and try to walk in less crowded areas.
Horren found that there were obviously many people who thought the same way as him, and walked a lot, and when he came halfway up the mountain, Holren specifically looked for those shady places without sunlight.
Pushing aside the weeds, there were some herbs, all of which were ordinary herbs he had seen from basic pharmacy, all of which were not very valuable.
Occasionally, passers-by saw his suspicious appearance, and although they were incomprehensible, they did not meddle with it.
"Alas~"
I searched for a long time and found nothing.
Sitting on a flat stone, he pondered whether to go deep into the dense forest behind him, maybe it was more likely to come across, and if there was no result in searching for Takaha Mountain, then he could only venture into the deep forest to see.
"Am I looking in the wrong direction?"
I hate that my money bag is not deep enough, otherwise how can I be so distressed.
After replenishing some water and food, he continued to look higher up the mountain, he planned to go to the top of the mountain, and then descend from the other side into the dense forest.
"Squeak~"
Slight footsteps approached.
"Who?"
Horen grasped the dagger vigilantly, turned abruptly, and made an attacking gesture.
"Don't be so nervous?"
The man with an embarrassed smile on his face saw Huo Lun's movements, slowly raised his hands, signaling that he had no malicious intent, and saw Huo Lun withdraw the dagger, so he put down his hand and shrugged his shoulders to show helplessness.
"I'm sorry, you walked behind me, I thought I had a thief. ”
Only then did Horren let his guard down, showed a smile, and greeted.
The young man looked at the dagger in Huo Lun's hand with a strange face, and muttered in a low voice, "It's such a ragged, and no thieves want to patronize it." ”
The young man did not deliberately avoid anything when he spoke, and although his voice was small, he could still hear it clearly if he had a better sense of hearing.
As soon as the words came out, he seemed to realize that he shouldn't be so rude, and smiled awkwardly, the pimples on his face squeezing his cheeks.
Let Huo Lun look a little speechless, but he heard what he said clearly, you must know that although the dagger in his hand is tattered, it is also an extraordinary weapon, and the first extraordinary equipment he got was belittled by a person of unknown origin, just like two people who wore the same thing disliked the other one who wore it badly.
However, it is not clear where he came from, and it is not easy for Horren to speak rashly.
Thinking of what he had just said, he thought, "Then do you know where there is good equipment?"
The young man was a little stunned, as if he didn't expect Huo Lun to take the initiative to talk, but still replied: "You also came to Red Leaf Town on a mission?
"It's not easy to get good equipment, go to the secret method store to buy it, you want whatever you want, enchant your whole body, and you're not afraid to resist directly when you encounter monsters. ”
The more he spoke, the more excited he became, as if he had opened the Secret Shop by him, as if he had already put on an enchanted outfit.
Horren felt that he was a little unreliable, and when he was immersed in his fantasies, he shook his head and walked in the other direction.
"The Arcane Shop. ”
He memorized the term.
As he walked forward, a breeze came, and before Horen could react, he noticed that the package was missing, and a figure in front of him was running.
"Why, I'm obviously tied to my body. ”
Damn it!
The figure running in front of him is the young man with pimples, he is really a thief!
The method is very rusty, and it should be a junior thief.
When it comes to meditation, Hollen is not yet very proficient.
Electricity, thunder, and psionic energy.
A cloud of energy particles converged and gradually converged into a faint light on his left hand.
No! The mental power is not strong enough.
Huo Lun looked at the young man running fast in front of him, turned his head to look at a big tree on the left, gritted his teeth, jumped on the big tree, and turned over and twisted on the sturdy trunk with his body flexibly, bent his body to relieve the pressure when he landed, and pounced on the young man.
Seeing the other party's frightened expression, Huo Lun was ruthless, pulled out a dagger and stabbed it on his arm, the other party screamed, and immediately bled profusely.
Scuffled with Hollen.
"Ahh
Another knife stabbed the other party in the thigh.
"Say, why rob me of something. ”
"I said, I said, I'm a thief, I just want to practice proficiency on you, I didn't expect you to be so vigilant. ”
The thieves saw Horen's dagger raised high, his blood still stained on the cold blade. He was already a street gangster, and he could no longer hold back the fear in his heart.
"Also, I want to see if you have any good stuff. ”
"I saw the dagger you had in your hand and thought the good things were in your backpack. ”
"Give it back to you, don't kill me, you can take everything on me. ”
The thief flinched in fear, begging for mercy.
When Huo Lun hesitated, a cold light struck!
With a fierce look, the thief stabbed the dagger hidden in his boot at Horen.
He dodged behind him and dodged the blow, stabbing the thief in the shoulder from the side, taking advantage of the victory and slashing his throat.
On the ground lay the body of the thief, whose neck had been cut by a sharp knife, and the blood was flowing far away.
Aside from a few abrasions, Hollen didn't suffer much.
This made him even more wary of the thief profession, and he should be glad that this thief was only a beginner thief, and he couldn't even hide his footsteps perfectly, and he couldn't sneak around.
Fortunately, it was a first-class thief, and it is estimated that he was the one who fell to the ground at this time.
Huo Lun gathered his mind and cleaned up the battlefield, this battle did not take much effort, but it was still necessary to improve his strength.
There was nothing on the thief, not even a copper puller was seen, and even the dagger he took out at the end was just the most ordinary dagger, with no special effect.
It's even more tattered than his!
