Chapter 63: Yuanwang Town

The afternoon is also calm, the wild trade route is not without robbers and robbers, even if this is still within the jurisdiction of Baldur's Gate, the army of Baldur's Gate does not have the ability to completely clean this area, on the continent of Faerun, the most typical problem faced by human beings is that the population is sparse, even if there are hundreds of people in a town, even if it is a very large-scale city, even if it is a large city in Baldur's Gate, it will not exceed 5000 people, so that the number of troops will not exceed 1500 people, As a human grows from a baby to an adult, there are many problems such as disease, hunger, monster attacks, etc., and no more than 6 out of 10 babies can grow up safely, and this 60% success is also in a large city with good security, and the survival rate of children in a small village like Tuk Town will not exceed 40%.

However, these robbers and bandits do not dare to blatantly rob the caravan, generally they will only do it to the small caravan with a small number of people, once the number of guards exceeds 30 people, they basically give up, because their own scale is not large, if they fight the most loss is still themselves!

In the evening, the group came to a small town, the town of Yuanwang, built on the site of Baldur's Gate and Candle Castle, and was specially used to settle for caravans traveling between the two places. The members of the Merchant Alliance were put into the town after the village militia nagged them not to make trouble.

As soon as the caravan entered the town, many residents immediately surrounded it, and the merchants began to sell their goods in a familiar way, Yuanwang Town is a town with a main tourism, and the vast majority of the income of the townspeople comes from artisans, stables, hotels or handicrafts, while there are very few farmers who farm, after all, it is a day away from the Gate of Debode, and there are many wild beasts, and most of the residents of Yuanwang Town do not dare to live outside the town, for fear that the next day others will find their mutilated corpses.

When the merchants unloaded, the escort team also announced the disbandment, most of them chose to go to the tavern to get drunk and dream, as long as they could gather at the specified time the next day, and the people of Axter were also separated, Ling pulled Doris to the shops in Yuanwang Town, those beautifully made bracelet hairpins are very attractive to female tourists who come here for the first time, Li Qing is alone and doesn't know where to practice, and Axter takes Ravis to wander aimlessly in the streets and alleys of the town, Enjoy the beautiful scenery of the town that is shrouded in golden yellow by the sunset.

"Drink, ha!" As Axter turned a corner, a shout came from a nearby clearing, and Axter stopped and looked, there were 6 or 7 young men with white belts on their heads, wooden swords in their hands, chopping puppets made of stakes in front of them, and a middle-aged man with a serious face stood behind them to teach them.

"Arm force! Don't be softened, if you used this bit of strength in battle, you would have been killed by the enemy's separated weapons! ”

"Be ruthless, be fast, life and death in battle are always on the line, and it is very likely that the fate of you and the other party will be within a few millimeters or seconds!"

"Taylor, are you looking for death, I let you make a move quickly, but I didn't let you stab randomly, how many times have I said it, if we don't use a sword, we must be fast and ruthless, if you lose your crosshairs, then no matter how fast you stab, you can't kill the enemy!"

The middle-aged man was very irritable, and whenever he didn't like it, he flew up from behind and kicked the young man in front of him to the ground, and those teenagers were obviously very in awe of this middle-aged man, and they didn't dare to have a disobedient expression on their faces, and they continued their practice after getting up.

"The cultivation method of the Sword Master." Axter watched silently beside him, and after staring for a while, he saw the clue, this is to train the speed of the sword master and the mastery ability of the opponent's long sword, you must know that the training of every advanced profession is not easy, take the sword master as an example, the training of that group of teenagers is only a part of it, they also have to carry out special training such as balance, pace, weakness perception and other extremely hard training, only after mastering all these special fields and skills, they can successfully take up the profession of sword master.

"Who are you?" The middle-aged man had obviously noticed Axter and Lavis for a long time, and after urging his disciples to train for a while, he walked straight over and said with an indifferent expression.

"We are the escort of the caravan, and we will rest here for the night tonight." Axter said with a smile, the other party obviously used intimidation and intimidation skills when he came to talk, but his two skill points were ridiculously high, and Axter successfully passed the exemption.

"Well, I'm the militia captain here, I hope you don't cause trouble." Seeing that his intimidation had failed, the middle-aged man turned his head and wanted to return to his disciple, but after taking a few steps, he suddenly turned his head and carefully looked at Axter, and finally his eyes fell on Axter's hands and the two long swords pinned to his waist.

"You're a Juggernaut professional?"

"That's right, aren't you too?" Axter generously admitted that the profession of the Sword Master is actually quite easy to identify, especially between peers, and it is very easy to see the inexplicable connection between people and weapons.

"Hehe, good, good, I haven't seen a strong man like you for a long time, do you want to have a fight?" The middle-aged man put on a smile, after all, they are peers, the sword saint and the sword saint are not as hostile and wary as the loiterers and wanderers meet each other, first of all, most of the people who can take up the sword saint profession are neutral camps, there are no big traitors, some are just the pursuit of the sword, and the people who take up the sword saint are generally open and bold people, there are not so many cities, and they treat things that are right and right, and wrong is wrong, and they belong to a kind of people who get along well when they become friends.

"Yes." Axter thought for a moment and nodded in agreement, the Sword Master and the Sword Master can increase their skills, anyway, he doesn't have anything to do now, why not do it.

"Cheerful, my name is Lucasiu, and then." After the middle-aged man had introduced himself, he walked over to the apprentice and asked for two wooden swords to throw to Axter, while he himself picked up a wooden sword and held it in front of him.

"Be careful!" Lukasius let out a loud shout, and his whole body exploded, as cold and sharp as a sharp sword out of the sheath, and his right foot kicked the ground hard, bringing up the splashing dirt on the ground and rushing towards Axter.

"It's good to come!" Axter laughed, he stood both feet, crossed his sword in both hands, and with a collision sound, Axter was shocked by Luxus and took two steps back, but Luxter's momentum was also interrupted by Axter.

"Look at the move!" This time it was Axter's turn to attack, taking advantage of the moment when the opponent's momentum was stagnant, Axter's arms waved like a whirlwind, and the move went straight to Lukasei's vital point, but Lukasio was obviously not a mediocre hand, although he only had a wooden sword, but he was undoubtedly more flexible than Axter, and holding a sword with both hands was more powerful than Axter's single-handed sword.

Axter sighed slightly, his two-handed weapon was only at the master level, and it did not reach the level of a grandmaster, there was still a trace of incongruity between his left hand and his right hand, and there was no perfect synchronization, otherwise he would have defeated Lukaxiu with twice the attack speed of the other party.

After blocking Axter's attacks for a few rounds, Lukasius staggered his left and right feet, and suddenly spun to Axter's side, dancing the wooden sword in his hand to make a straight thrust, Axter also quickly turned sideways, and hit the side of the opponent's weapon with the wooden sword, blocking the attack and slashing towards Lukasiu's body, while Lucasius took a step back, dodged Axter's attack and counterattacked again.

The two sides were engaged in a fast-paced confrontation in the open space, and in just a few minutes, the two of them had already passed hundreds of moves, but neither of them could help the other party, and the apprentice and Lavis who were watching the battle had already been dazzled, and in their sight, they only felt that after this move was contacted, they could not remember how the other party succeeded in the previous move.

"Whew, it's all right, young man." Lucius flicked his sword and jumped out of the battle circle, throwing the wooden sword in his hand back to his apprentice. "Your strength is really amazing, if we are fighting to the death, then you must be the one who wins in the end."

"It's over." Axter didn't deny the other party's meaning, because he was young and had an absolute advantage in physical strength over a middle-aged man like Lucius, and by now Lucius was already sweating slightly on his forehead, and he was just a little out of breath.

Saying goodbye to Lucius and them, Axor took Ravis to the Blue Strawberry Hotel in Yuanwang Town, where the caravan and the guards gathered in the hall to eat and drink, and after seeing Axel, Rakchel warmly invited Axel to his table to drink. At the dinner table, some of the warriors blushed and shouted about their previous adventures due to drinking too much, but most of the warriors were the most braggart except for the halflings, and some even said that they had fought with dragons. However, most of these remarks will attract ridicule from others, and then the warriors who laugh at others will continue to brag about their cowhides.

In the bright night, the hall of the Blue Strawberry Hotel was lit up, and a sound of laughter came from inside, echoing in the silent wilderness beyond the town.
