In his previous life, it was because of all kinds of coincidences that Chu Ge was lucky to survive to the end, if he still followed the rules like in his previous life, even if he came ten times again, he would not be sure to replicate the coincidences at that time.

If it weren't for the magic that the old priest unleashed on him, he would have been a corpse long ago.

Naturally, he was not prepared to take the route of his previous life, and the golden thorn grass and lantern were all prepared to deal with the impending danger.

After putting the purchased items into his backpack, Chu Ge came to the only tavern in the town, the Skylark Pavilion.

There were more people in the tavern than you remembered, and they were all called to hire members.

Sitting in the center is a middle-aged man, slightly chubby, with a broad smile on his face, although there is a bit of awe-inspiring seriousness in his eyes, but in essence he is still a compassionate elder.

This kind of disguise is not clever, but it is more than enough to deceive Chu Ge and other ignorant townspeople in his previous life!

A poisonous snake with tears in its eyes!

As the cousin of the Baron, Henry had just moved to the town two years earlier, but he already had a certain prestige in the town, which, combined with his fair and honest character, gave him a good reputation among the townspeople.

Perhaps only the dead merchants and civilians could know what kind of greed and cruelty was hidden behind that kind smile!

Next to Henry stood a thin, mean-looking man, who was examining the crappy mercenaries in the queue.

There are only two requirements, with a clean background and no fear of hardships and dangers.

The first point is easy to understand, as long as you are cautious, you will have such a request, and the second point, although it does not seem very good, but its potential implication is that the mortality rate is extremely high!

Oh, by the way, there is another point, that is, the strength cannot be higher than the second order - this is of course to facilitate Mr. Henry's murder.

Victor was holding a small notebook and writing something, and shouted without raising his head:

"Next!"

After queuing in line for more than ten minutes, Chu Ge finally came to the front.

His face had the restraint that this age should have, and although he tried his best to restrain the tremor of his body, the moment he opened his mouth, everything was revealed:

"Hello my ......"

The speed of speech was rapid, his voice was hoarse, and for a moment there was an inconspicuous crack.

Victor's brows furrowed slowly, and he raised his head to look at the rookie in front of him impatiently, and poked the book with the tip of his pen.

"I'm sorry I ......"

Seeing Victor's expression, Chu Ge's vocal cords trembled even more, obviously a little incoherent.

"Stay calm and believe in yourself."

A gentle and magnetic voice sounded, and Chu Ge turned his head to look, and his helpless eyes met Henry's generous smile.

With Henry's encouragement, the young man nodded vigorously as if he had gained some kind of strength, and his face began to become firm, and he said word by word:

"I think I can help you out, as long as you're willing to take me!"

Victor's caustic face did not change in any way, and he spat out two words stiffly:

"Reason."

Chu Ge immediately explained:

"As everyone knows, my teacher is a skilled pastor, and I have worked under him for a long time, so I have some first-aid knowledge, so you must not lack a helper like me."

"What's more, I know a little swordsmanship, and you don't need to arrange for someone to protect me."

After hearing Chu Ge's words, Victor's face softened a little, and after thinking for a few seconds, he asked the three guys who had been hired behind him:

"Is what he said true?"

As "big men" who don't have to worry about food and clothing, Victor and the others definitely don't know how civilians heal diseases, so they ask others for verification at the moment.

Most of the mercenaries in the town are only on the verge of barely making ends meet, and they will work in the fields when business is sluggish, which is not strictly different from civilians.

Three of them had a relationship with the former Ino, so they still agreed with Chu Ge's words, not to mention that the team could join a first responder was also what they were looking forward to.

After receiving an affirmative reply, Victor nodded. Although this condition was tempting, it was really uneasy to hire such a young fellow, so he said to the mercenary sitting at the back:

"Phil, come and try his skills."

As soon as Victor's words came out, everyone around him was immediately in an uproar, and the eyes that looked at Chu Ge also became pity.

You must know that Phil is the strongest of the three, and he is close to the peak of the first order, and Victor must have made this request to make the other party retreat.

Since it was the employer's request, Phil had no reason to refuse, he put the cup in his hand, stood up with his sword, and walked towards Chu Ge, the "little friend".

Perhaps because of malnutrition, Eno developed worse than his peers, and he was indeed a child in front of Phil.

"Do you need me to lend you a suitable weapon?"

Seeing Chu Ge pull out the dagger behind his waist, Henry asked with concern.

Chu Ge's eyes lit up, and he said in surprise:

"I can't thank you enough if you could give me a one-handed sword."

Henry picked an ordinary one-handed sword from the table and threw it at Chu Ge:

"Whether you win or not, it's all yours!"

The crowd around was noisy again, even if it was a very ordinary sword, it was already a lot of wealth for civilians, and even if it was used as a deposit for employment, it was too much!

After all, the craftsmanship and materials required for sword forging are not comparable to ordinary iron products.

Perhaps from this day onwards, Lord Henry's title will include words such as generosity and benevolence.

Although Chu Ge's best weapon is a dagger, in this case, using basic swordsmanship is the most suitable.

At least, that's the most ordinary, and the one that the other person wants to see the most.

It seemed that it was the first time to really fight with an iron sword, Chu Ge's hands trembled slightly, and there was an uncontrollable excitement in his expression.

Although Phil has unscrupulous means to do things, he still can't do such a thing as seriously injuring a junior at will.

He won't be heavy-handed, but it definitely doesn't mean that he will let Chu Ge pass casually, if he is kind here, the price he will pay after that may be his own life, after all, taking risks is not a child's game.

"Come on."

Phil raised his two-handed sword to waist level and motioned for Chu Ge to attack.

Chu Ge took a deep breath and put down the small box he was carrying, the flushing on his face slowly dissipated, his hands no longer trembled, and his eyes revealed immature perseverance.

He took a step forward with his right foot and leaned forward, pressing his weight forward in an attempt to increase the force of his attack.

As he swung it, the blade sliced through the air and struck Phil's shoulder, steady and accurate.

But that's all, anyone who practices diligently can do it.

After a collision, Phil's big sword easily blocked Chu Ge's attack, and as his strength increased, he had gradually pressed Chu Ge's sword back.

Chu Ge immediately made a standard unloading action, twisting his waist while stepping with his left foot, his hand suddenly exerted force, and the blade of the sword drew an arc from top to bottom, which was finally the next counterattack of the other party.

Although it is not fancy at all, it is not clever, and the use effect can only be a passing grade.

That's what most people think.

Phil's big sword came back towards Chu Ge again, and everyone could see that his strength was much higher than Chu Ge.

Chu Ge resisted very hard, with his current attributes, even if he shot with all his strength, it would not be easy to kill the other party head-on.

After receiving the opponent's four moves, Chu Ge showed a decline, and everyone was curious about how many moves he could survive?

As for considering the possibility of turning a defeat into a victory? I don't think anyone would be stupid enough to do that.

Chu Ge also didn't think about this kind of result, although he could use the other party's carelessness to knock him down in an instant, but it was obviously not a good idea.

This is not the image he wants to give to everyone.

As the sound of the collision gradually increased, everyone's expressions changed, and a few people even showed approval in their eyes.

Tenacity, tenacity, and no flinching!

This is the word that appears in the bottom of most people's hearts.

Although there was no room to fight back against Phil's attack, he managed to resist every attack and defended very tightly!

Sweat slowly slid down that resolute cheek, and the young man gritted his teeth and persevered, awakening something in everyone's hearts little by little.

Every time you raise a sword, it is a test, and every parry is a kind of training.

Of course, there are reasons why Phil didn't go all out, but for a teenager, it's enough!

When that emotion slowly grew in everyone's hearts, Henry suddenly clapped his hands and said with a smile:

"Alright, that's it."

He straightened up from his chair, walked over to Chu Ge, patted him on the shoulder, and said:

"Although the action posture is very simple, the foundation is surprisingly solid, boy, no one has taught you swordsmanship."

As a rare second-order powerhouse in the town, Henry's vision is worthy of affirmation, and he can see Chu Ge's strengths and weaknesses at a glance.

Chu Ge was a little shy, touched his head and replied:

"I used to practice alone with a wooden sword."

"Alone? It's a rarity. ”

"Alone with the blade, the blade will only reflect the same self. Try to communicate more with others. ”

Henry admonished like an elder, and then announced to the crowd around him,

"Okay guys, now my team has enough manpower, and I'll bear the cost of everyone's drinks today."

After speaking, he smiled at Chu Ge and said:

"Well done!"

This approach naturally won the favor of the mercenaries around them, even if they were not chosen-

"Cheers to the generous Lord Henry!"

"It would be more appropriate to have Lord Henry as a baron!"

"Long live Lord Henry!"

Listening to everyone's compliments, a trace of disdain flashed in Henry's eyes, in fact, when he fought just now, he was keenly aware of a little, but he didn't say it.

Although the boy was tenacious, his legs trembled slightly during the confrontation, and many details of his movements were very stiff.

These are all manifestations that have not experienced real combat at all, and perhaps the other party has performed well in this kind of "practice battle", but if it is really a matter of life and death, this kind of person often ends up tragically.

But why did he say it?

When fighting, as long as this kind of young man is casually agitated, he will rush forward with enthusiasm, which is really the best choice for exploring the way and stepping on the thunder.

He laughed, and Chu Ge laughed too.

No one would know that those things just now were all deliberately done by Chu Ge.
