In the town of Yeju in the Kansa region, it was another cold morning.

November 19, 775 A.D., was an ordinary day for the townspeople, and although it was not yet winter, it was already cold and snowing.

Martin was woken up by a commotion, and since he had lost his job at Red Hat a year ago, he had been helping his mother do his laundry, working until the middle of the night, often catching up on sleep the next day. And today, he was awakened by the low roar of a wild beast, and the excited shouts of children.

"Which hunter caught the big one? Is there a big guy at this time of year? ”

He muttered to his feet, splashing his face with cold water and feeling sleepy. The Kansa area is still as cold as ever, since the White Rock Mine was covered in ice nine months ago, the cold has been even worse, and there are far fewer wild beasts around, and most of the famous hunters in the nearby towns have moved to Ximu Town on the banks of the Qifeng River, and I heard that the owner of the horse farm there has gone to Morning Star with a large group of people, and there are many vacant seats in the town.

I'm so lucky, when will I be able to go to that kind of big city......

When I think of the White Rock Mine, Martin thinks of the mine, of the Red Hat, of the corpses, and most importantly, of Mr. Shamu.

"I wonder where Mr. Shamu and Miss Susie have gone now...... Is their honeymoon over? ”

Martin shook his head, stopped thinking, put on his tattered felt hat, wrapped his scarf tightly, and planned to go out and have a look.

However, as soon as the door opened, he was shocked by the huge head in front of him.

It took Martin three seconds to make eye contact, then a second to think, before finally slamming the door shut.

"I may not have woken up yet......"

He took off his hat and tore off his scarf with a blank look, intending to go to bed and lie down for a while.

"This must be a hallucination......"

The vision of the huge skull just now remains, with rough folded skin, ugly eyes, and long horns on the nose sharper than the hunting knife of old Sensi next door. Martin had no doubt that it pierced itself as casually as a fork in a boiled taro.

The moment he turned around, there was a "bang" behind him, and the old but durable wooden door was suddenly arched by the huge head he had just seen, and the door panel was forked on the long horns, and the cold wind poured in with the cold air at once, followed by a burst of laughter from men and women.

"Emma, don't mess around, it's insulting to be so rude to the door of Pastor Martin's house." The languid voice came from a man, Martin couldn't make out his accent, but he always felt that the words and grammar were somewhat similar to those of Mr. Shamu, and they all sounded ...... Elegance.

"Lucien, that's not what you said when you used the Mage's Hand to fan those children away." The female voice was closest to him.

"Those stained my robes, didn't they?" The male voice replied.

Then the huge head shook off the door panel, took a few steps back, and a shadow jumped down from it.

Martin took two steps back with some fear, not because of how fierce this person was, but because of her aggressiveness, like ...... Like a thorny rose.

Hell, how did I come up with this metaphor? Martin scratched his head and couldn't help but take another look. She seemed to be inferior to Miss Susie, he thought to himself, and then fixed his gaze on the door—or rather the hole in the wall, where stood a circle of men, all of their might and richly dressed.

……

Emma Grintt is a top student of Jialan Academy, although she is not as beautiful as the famous Lina Imbas, but she is also one of the best beauties in the college, and now she deigns to come to such a remote Kansa area, and she feels despised by a poor boy in a ravine.

She clearly saw that the other party's eyes only stayed on her for a few breaths, as if her attraction was not as good as the big one-horned rhinoceros behind her, and her temper came up all of a sudden.

"Smack"

The delicate whip suddenly appeared in her hand, and it struck a loud whip in the air, which sounded like a cannon to Martin, and he couldn't help but sit on the ground with his legs limp.

Seeing his embarrassed appearance, Emma felt much more comfortable, shook the whip, retracted her hand like a snake, and pointed at Martin, "Your father is the priest of the town?" ”

It stands to reason that Martin should be busy nodding at this time, but this kid's brain hole is not much worse than our writer Eric, otherwise he would not have mistaken Mu Yan for a "god" when he appeared in the second chapter, plus he has a pastor father who knows words, so he has read many stories, and he has made up a lot of bridges in his brain at once.

Qingqi's brain circuit turned fast at this moment, he was thinking about whether his father had provoked some terrible person, he had already packed up his things and fled, these few people in front of him were here to chase and kill, thinking of this, he suddenly felt that his father "worked in the mayor's house for three days in a row" also explained.

So out of nowhere, Martin had a surge of courage, and he stood up tremblingly.

Even Emma's hand pointing at him slowly lifted, and finally he had to look up at this wild boy who was taller than himself and wore a torn cotton jacket.

"I don't know!" Martin replied loudly, feeling manly all over him.

That's what the main characters in the story do, he thought.

"What?" Emma felt that she was offended, how could anyone not even know who her father was, she raised her whip and saw that she was going to whip it on the other party in the next second.

For an animal trainer with a gold-rank mercenary badge (40+), this whip will end up half-crippled to the least.

Just then, a diminutive figure sprang over and took the blow on Martin's behalf.

"Deres!? What are you doing? Emma exclaimed, "Why are you doing this! ”

The reason for the panic is not that she beat the people who can't fight, although Deres was also selected into this team, but with a low status, he came for a lot of commissions, not invited. What really alarmed her was that the poker-faced female elf who led the team and the teacher of the academy repeatedly ordered discipline and strictly forbade them to attack their companions.

She immediately thought of the reason for the other party's move - it must be instructed by someone to frame herself, so as to destroy her image in the eyes of the teacher and affect the evaluation of this mission!

It must be so!

Thinking of this meaning, Emma immediately took a half step back and said solemnly: "Classmate Deles, Lucien and others outside the door just now saw it, and you made it up by yourself. ”

At this time, Dereis, who was guarding Martin, slowly turned around, he wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, and grinned an annoying smile: "Don't get me wrong, Miss Emma, I just look at this guy who looks like my brother, I can't bear to beat him up." I don't mean anything else, please don't think about it. ”

Emma breathed a sigh of relief and sneered, "That's good, I forgot that your father was also a nobleman from the slums, no wonder he looks familiar, in that case, let you tell him about it." ”

"Thank you for your kindness." Dreis bowed slightly, but he didn't want this action to affect the injury in his back, and he almost couldn't stand steadily, but fortunately Martin helped him.

Emma snorted, put away her whip and went out, the one-horned rhinoceros shook her head, and followed with a few steps back, and there was the sound of bricks collapsing and chickens and dogs jumping, and a familiar but short scream.

Martin could tell it was the bard in the tavern, and the one-horned rhino crashed into the tavern on the other side as he retreated.

Poor bard, he thought, never heard that song again.
