Chapter 4 I'm going to gamble with you!
On the deck of the three-masted galleon, the crowd gathered together to abandon their work, waiting for Fildo and the thin young man to appear. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć info Absolutely! What these guys are looking forward to more is that they are making a fool of themselves here.
The one-eyed Cohen leaned his body against the foremast, his eyes staring blankly at the empty hatch. Suddenly, he glanced at Mark, and Mark immediately whispered to Cohen: "First mate Cohen don't worry! I've already done my hands and feet on that anchor, even if the fat dog pours that kid with a 'berserk potion', don't even think about moving a bit!" ā
Cohen nodded, "Good job!" This old dog has always kept us in his eyes by relying on the weight of the baron, and I don't know how many good things have been done to us? This is your chance! If we can bring him down, we'll have a much better time ahead!" ... Feel relieved! When you're done, the double-headed axe made of fine iron on the ship is yours! ā
A flash of surprise flashed in the strong man's eyes.
"Lord Shecohen! But the captain's side? ā
"Afraid of what? That old thing isn't the 'Shark of the Winter Sea' anymore, haven't you noticed that this old guy has been missing for a few days now? Can he take care of all this? A cold glint flashed in Cohen's only remaining eye, as if he remembered some not-so-good memory.
"Squeak~"
The conversation between the two was interrupted by the tooth-aching sound of the door opening the cabin.
Fei Erduo and Beichuan walked out, although they went out together, but the expressions on their faces were different, Fei Erduo's chubby face looked full of confidence, as if he had taken the reassurance pill and won the victory. On the side, Beichuan looked lazy and had just woken up, yawning lazily, and even there were some bits of bread left on his face...
Phildo looked around, and soon he found the main one in the crowd - First Officer Cohen, and walked forward with a smirk on his face.
"I'm so sorry! Brother Coen waited for a long time, this little brother was a little hungry, so I brought him some food..."
Cohen glanced at the fat man with disdain and spat on the ground, interrupting the fat man's long-prepared speech:
"Nothing disgusts me more than your hypocrisy. You know what he ate, I don't want to know! Okay, can we get started now? ā
"Of course! As you wish! Lord Cohen. As everyone knows, Cohen's unintentional words happened to tell the truth, which made the fat man's originally smiling face suddenly cold.
Are you going to tear your face completely? If you get through this, I'll make you unable to eat and walk around! The fat man was ruthless in his heart.
As for the laborers, overseers, sailors, oh! It's just a group of miscellaneous fish, as long as they keep their position and give them a hundred guts, what kind of storm can they make? Thinking like this, the fat man's eyes became more and more fierce and resentful when he looked at Cohen.
On the other side, while the two were talking, Beichuan had already stepped off the board and came to the side near the auxiliary anchor on the shore, of course, followed by the burly strong man Mark.
"Can I start?" Kitagawa raised his eyes and glanced at Mark, he was very confident, because after the power increase of several passive skills, he could at least burst out with a terrifying 31 points of power in an instant!
"Of course! But! I'm still here to advise you, don't be self-conscious, the world is big, and you're just a scum! Mark leaned sideways as he spoke.
Beichuan's footsteps abruptly paused, and he replied coldly: "You're right! I'm a scumbag, but you're not even a scumbag! ā
Mark's face flashed with anger and he raised his fist and wanted to make a move on Kitagawa, but when he saw that the crowd of onlookers on the side had loosened their clenched fists, he had to complete Cohen's arrangement to get the two-headed axe.
"As a Nord! I don't see your courage..."Kitagawa said suddenly, turning his back to Mark.
Mark's face turned red when he heard this, and he craned his neck and said loudly: "Boy, I am the high-ranking servant of the Black Elk Knights, Mark and Beiluent, and now I propose the most sacred duel to you!" How dare you question my courage! If you have the guts, you will follow! I'll show you what the courage of a black elk is! ā
As soon as Mark said this, everyone was shocked.
"It turned out that a duel was proposed in the name of the black elk!? Mark doesn't want to mess around? The Knights are forbidden to fight privately. ā
"What? Mark is going to duel that kid! That's the black elk's servant, this boy is dead."
"I've heard that Mark actually already has the strength of a knight, but he has not purchased equipment to stay in the position of a servant."
There was no Knights in the traditional sense of the word, and there were no Knights in the traditional sense. The Nords, who were skilled in foot warfare, were not very good at showing their prowess on horseback, and the climate here was not suitable for horses. The so-called knights here are actually only foot knights, that is, foot combat units with the strength and status of knights.
The Black Elk Knights are the trump cards of the army near the town of Luger, and all the official members are loyal to Lord Luger, the Baron of Elk, but the Baron does not bear the cost of arming the soldiers' equipment, so all the equipment is prepared by the soldiers themselves, out of the requirements for armor and the combat power of the Knights, even if they have the strength of a formal knight, they must have a set of heavy armor or plate armor and corresponding weapons to become a full member. Due to the economic situation in the north of Nord, which was not wealthy, there were very few people who could afford armor, which made it strange that the Knights had far fewer formal members than followers. Of course, there is no doubt about the preciousness of armor, and even some of the official members still use the old equipment left behind by their parents and even grandparents.
Kitagawa smiled, sure enough, in the context of the Middle Ages, duels without a word were very popular.
But~
"Sorry! I refuse to duel with a coward! ā
"Boom!"
The crowd erupted in boos.
It is the most cowardly act of all to refuse to be challenged on this continent, especially in the northern countries (in this case, Swadia, Nord, Vekia). This kind of behavior is simply detrimental to honor, and this guy Kitagawa even beat Mark a rake after refusing to challenge.
Bite! Your actions have caused a bad impact in the minds of everyone, and your reputation is -2
Bite! Your honor has changed, and the honor system is on!
Presently:
Honor: -2 (unknown)
PS: Please cherish your honor! It is fundamental to your foothold in this world.
Beichuan didn't care about the crowd's contempt and the change in honor value, and continued to himself: "You need to prove your courage with 50 gold coins!" And then I'll fight you. ā
Mark tried his best to suppress his anger, and he even wanted to rush up and tear this nasty guy to shreds now, but he changed his mind after seeing Beichuan's shabby clothes: "What about you?" As a fair duel, you should also make the corresponding bets! ā
This guy looks pathetic like a wandering beggar on the street, can he come up with 50 gold coins? This is Mark's idea.
"No, no, no! I can't come up with 50 coins, but I think I'm worth the price! In other words, I can spare you from dying after the victory, but you have to give me 50 gold coins, what? ā
Mark sneered: "Arrogant boy! I don't think your life is worth 50 gold coins, but to prove my mettle, I'm going to bet my life with you! Bet your life with my life! ā
"Excellent! The time and place you decide! ā
"Then you're welcome! See you in the Colosseum tomorrow morning! ā
Mark grinned, bared his jagged canine teeth, glared fiercely, and turned away.
Seeing Mark walk away, Kitagawa approached the rusty anchor and found its bottom deeply embedded in the ground on the shore.
"Huh!"
Looking at the ravines on the ground that were pulled out by brute force, Beichuan chuckled and said in his heart, That's all he can do? Looks like it's time to show you weak chickens the true power!
I saw Beichuan's body squatting slightly, grabbing the iron rod at the tail of the anchor with both hands, and lifting his waist up with force-
The anchor let out an unpleasant "Boom! Yikes! Sound, but still unmoving.
What's going on? It is said that 31 points of strength is almost twice that of a normal Nord! Why is this happening?
Kitagawa was shocked.
And on the other side,
Someone in the crowd began to heckle.
"Hey! If that kid can't do it, just say it! Grinding like a Viruga there! ā
"Haha! Look! That kid really can't move, fat dog, you take that kid's money, right? ā
"How can Nord be such a weak person! Hmph, what a shame on our Nord! ā
...
Of course, the crows in the world are not generally black, and there are occasionally one or two variants. And among these people, there are also a few discerning people.
This is not! A man who looked like an uncle in the crowd saw that someone deliberately made such a pretending and exaggerated effect, and he shouted indignantly: "Hey! The one you just spoke! You're so good, go try it! ā
Hearing this different voice, the crowd suddenly fell silent, after all, although their strength is not small, it is still a little difficult to move the sub-anchor, but now this problem is not the key, how to add more blockage to Fei'er who deducted their wages is the key, and then naturally the uncle was overwhelmed by the masses who denounced it.
Looking at the emotional crowd and the uneasy look of Phildo, Kitagawa pouted, a group of self-righteous guys were not worth his concern. Just now, he inadvertently saw a smile flashing at the corner of Mark's mouth not far away, and Beichuan's head was clear, and everything seemed to be out of the water.
"Yes! That's right! This guy dragged the anchor in, and was the only one who touched the anchor alone, but what did he do in public? Thinking of this, Beichuan suddenly remembered a small magic trick he had seen before, which was a simple trick to deceive people, first install a ring under a hammer, and then make a hook on the ground, and put the hammer on the ground during the performance, but in fact, the hammer has been firmly fixed by the hook on the ground...
Kitagawa tried to push the anchor back hard along the ravine that Mark had dragged out.
Kola!
The anchor was easily pushed to the bottom, and sure enough! He looked down the pit he had left behind, and heh! It's a log buried under the ground that gets stuck in the anchor! The old appearance of this log should be left over from the previous laying of the dock, and the newly exposed burrs and new stubble on it should be the traces left just now.
Kitagawa looked back at Mark with a change in his eyes again, and he must have grabbed the handle with both hands again and lifted it up,
The iron chain that accompanies the shank connection 'Ko Lang Lang! The sound of the anchor being uprooted and bringing up a large area of sand and soil, looking at the anchor that was gradually pulled out, Beichuan sneered.
"That's your means? It's really low-level! ā
"Bang!" With a thud, the iron anchor slammed into Mark's feet, smashing the ground into an arcing dent.
"You! How can you have such great power?! Mark wondered.
"Wow!"
Silence on the field!
"Is this my win?"
Bite! Your actions have an impact on the crowd, and your reputation is +50!
Bite! Your reputation changes, and the reputation system is on!
Presently:
Fame: 50 (Doing nothing)
ps: Sometimes fame is much better than muscle~
When Fei Erdo saw that Kitagawa had really pulled out the anchor, his face turned to joy, and he looked triumphantly at his old enemy, First Officer Cohen.
"Excellent! So Cohen, do you have anything else to do? ā
"Humph! It's a long time to come! ā
Fei Erduo was happy, and Cohen was naturally very unhappy, so he rudely pushed away the two sailors and left directly.
