Chapter 19: Betting
In the next moment, a crimson arc crossed the room, and the temperature suddenly increased.
The clothes of the five strong men burned together, and the fierce faces instantly showed pain, and they quickly fell to the ground, rolling back and forth.
Sawyer still stood in place, as if he hadn't moved at all, and the speed of the knife stunned the five strong men and the women standing at the counter.
After rolling out the flames, the five strong men no longer had the slightest majesty just now, their tattered and scorched clothes hung on their bodies, and they stared at Sawyer with their swords in fear, which was ridiculous.
Sawyer didn't make a ruthless move, if that knife cut their skin, that kind of taste, just think about it.
The woman didn't expect that this young man was so strong, and she stayed for a while before she came back to her senses.
"What the hell do you want?" The woman's tone softened.
"It's like I'm going to rob a house, what I want you to do is very simple, you just need to promise that you won't steal again in the future."
The woman hesitated, her face was extremely ugly, and after a long while, she opened her mouth and said, "Yes, I promise that I will not commit theft again, and if not, I will not die well." ”
At this point, she had no choice, the seemingly immature teenager in front of her had a mature mind and strength enough to deter them, if she didn't comply, she didn't know what means this teenager would use to solve the problem.
After hearing the satisfactory reply, Sawa showed a satisfied smile, "That's it, I wish your hotel is getting better and better, farewell!" ”
The women's faces were as black as if they had been smeared with ashes from the bottom of the pot, while the five strong men stood aside, looking at each other and shaking their heads helplessly.
With that, Sawyer turned and walked out of the hotel, and at this time, the sky was clear and the weather was very good.
The fire attribute attached to this autumn leaf knife is really amazing, and it would be really uncomfortable to let this knife cut a wound.
However, this also added trouble to Sawyer, the appearance of the autumn leaf knife does not look ordinary, it is easy to attract the attention of the villain, and cause him trouble, this time it is to invite a thief, and it is unknown who to invite next time.
Thinking of this, Sawyer felt a little uneasy, when he first got the Autumn Leaf Knife, he had tried to wrap it in cloth, but the cloth was on the edge of the blade, which made him know that the blade of the Autumn Leaf Knife was like a moving fire source, and it was really difficult to touch.
He had also thought about asking the blacksmith to make a custom scabbard, but in a real battle, the short time it took to draw the knife was enough to decide the outcome of the battle, or even life or death, which was also not advisable.
After thinking about it, he couldn't think of any good way, so he had to hold it in his hand for the time being and talk about it later.
This also means that he needs to be more careful about how to deal with people, so as not to be calculated by villains.
The theft of the knife has sounded the alarm for Sawyer, and he also knows that something like this will definitely happen in the future, and all he can do is to reach the Rees Mountains as soon as possible and find a stable place to live, and these troublesome things will naturally be solved.
Almost everyone who passed by Sawyer's side would invariably sweep their eyes to the Akiba Knife, which had a different appearance from ordinary knives, and it was too eye-catching to walk on the road.
The general sword is made of steel, and the color of the blade is naturally the color of steel, but the material of the autumn leaf knife is unknown, and the material with fire attributes is absolutely extremely rare, so the red color of the blade of the autumn leaf knife, as well as the leaf yellow on the blade, is undoubtedly standing out from the crowd.
In this remote place, there are very few famous families, and there are very few strong ones, and Sawa is magnificent and powerful, and the weapons are extraordinary, ordinary people do not dare to easily fight his ideas, but there are always some self-righteous people who come to trouble him.
"Hey, handsome guy, are you interested in making a bet?" A man with a sallow complexion walked in front of him, and his body was relatively thin, and he didn't know if he was malnourished or whatever.
"Not interested." Sawa said coldly, walking past him.
"If you win the bet, I'll give you 20,000 gold coins."
After Sawyer heard this number, his face changed slightly, 20,000 gold coins is not a small amount for him, money is such a thing, of course, the more the better, he does not recommend making more money, but looking at this person's face, it does not look like a person with 20,000 gold coins.
Seeing Sawyer stop, the corners of the man's mouth rose and he took out a money bag, "What?" Think I don't have that much money? ”
Then, the man poured out the gold coin, and Sawyer looked up, and there were indeed 20,000 of them.
"Bet on what?"
"The knife in your hand." The man looked at the autumn leaf knife in Sawya's hand, his eyes lit up, salivating, and a trace of cunning crossed his eyes, he could also see that this knife was extraordinary, at least it was also a yellow-level purple weapon, so he dared to take 20,000 gold coins as a bet.
"What's the gambling method?" Sawa naturally expected the man to covet the Akiba Knife, so he behaved calmly, as long as he felt that the gambling method was not appropriate, he could turn around and leave.
"It's too cliché to learn something, let's have a fun game." The man couldn't help but be overjoyed when he saw that Sawyer agreed to make a bet on the Autumn Leaf Knife.
"By the way, what rank of swordsman are you?" The man almost forgot to ask this important question.
"Third Order."
"Oh? It just so happens that I'm also a third-order. The man seemed a little surprised by Sawyer's strength.
"Do you see that single-plank bridge over there?" The man pointed diagonally ahead.
Soya looked in the direction of the man's finger, it was a single tree of nearly 100 meters, connecting the two ends, and under it was a stream that had dried up, and the strange rocks were craggy, about 100 zhang high, and they would not die or be crippled if they fell.
"Whoever gets to the other side first wins."
"Okay." Sawyer readily agreed.
This is also a challenge for Sawyer, wealth and danger, judging from the bet alone, if he loses, he will naturally lose all his money, under his conservative estimate, the value of the Autumn Leaf Knife will never be less than 100,000 gold coins, so he must win this bet.
"Everyone come to be a witness, I made a bet with this little brother, whoever reaches the other end of the single-plank bridge first, who will be the winner, if I win, the sword in the hand of this little brother will belong to me, if this little brother wins, my 20,000 gold coins will belong to him." The man ran to the middle of the road and said loudly, pulling in a few people.
Then, the man and Sawyer walked to the bridge.
Walking to the side of the bridge, I realized the steepness of this place, the single tree has been washed by wind and rain, so it looks rotten and loose, and the width can only accommodate one foot.
If the soles of the feet slip carelessly, it is very likely to fall, and the strange rocks under it are abrupt.
This kind of desperate gambling method really attracts a lot of people, and it is unusual to gather so many people in such a remote place.
Sawyer looked around and explored the terrain first, so that even if he accidentally fell, he could use the terrain to save himself.
While observing the terrain, an inconspicuous stone tablet appeared in Sawyer's sight, engraved with a few crooked small characters, and Sawyer looked at it intently.
Soul Bridge!
