Chapter Eighty-Three: Drawing the Sword
In the past 20 days, because of the heavy rain, the business of the Jiangnan leather workshop has gradually become bleak, so Lei Yang has a lot of idle time to stare at the dim sky outside.
At the beginning, Wu Fenmei on the side occasionally raised her head to look outside with Lei Yang out of boredom, but then Wu Fenmei found that this thing was actually very boring, so she stopped looking around, just quietly held her small cheeks in a daze, thinking that Teacher Xu Ke should come back as soon as today is over.
Lei Yang kept looking up and staring outside, looking at it honestly, almost staring.
After staring blankly at the sky for a long time, he actually saw a star in the sky above the barracks.
The star was not bright at all, only a faint silver glow, and it would be difficult to find it among the stars.
But it's still daytime, so of course there is only this one star in the sky.
A star that does not shine but appears very abruptly.
Lei Yang thought for a moment after seeing this star, then stood up, found a rain lily and a hat, put on the rain lily and put on the hat, and looked like he wanted to go out.
Wu Fenmei, who was on the side, was taken aback when she saw Lei Yang suddenly stand up, and subconsciously looked out the window and found that there was really an extra star in the sky as Lei Yang said before.
"Mr. Lei Yang...... Are you really going to the barracks? Wu Fenmei said a little worriedly—although she didn't have a deep understanding of the game, she still knew that a place like the barracks was definitely not something that could be visited casually.
The last time Mr. Lei Yang came back, he was covered in injuries, obviously he simply went to the barracks to deliver goods, but he made it as if he was on the battlefield.
Most of Mr. Lei Yang's injuries last time were not fully healed, and this time he ...... again
Lei Yang nodded lightly after hearing the girl's question, indicating that he was indeed going to the barracks.
“…… Mr. Lei Yang, be careful, you were so seriously injured last time you went to the barracks. Wu Fenmei said with some concern, "The level of our adventurers has been cleared, even if Mr. Lei Yang, your initial combat strength is amazing, you should not be the opponent of those aborigines." ”
"Don't worry, just wait here." Lei Yang looked at Wu Fenmei seriously, he was already dressed at this moment, and was about to go to the cart to load the goods and set off.
He searched for a while, and soon found the car, so he pushed the door open and tried to get out.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he pushed open the wooden door of the Jiangnan leather workshop, he met a girl with an umbrella in the wind.
The girl was stunned when she saw him, obviously she didn't expect him to go out in such bad weather: "Master Lei Yang, what are you...... Going out? ”
Lei Yang was also stunned for a moment when he saw the other party, but then he remembered that the human girl in front of him was Xiaowei, the human girl who had to come to the workshop every day to take care of the business—it was really rare for him to be able to remember the girl's name so quickly.
For Lei Yang, this girl is really a little strange, because she has to come every day, and every day she has to watch him build a pair of leather armor, and every time she watches him build leather armor, she still has a slightly red face and an intoxicated expression.
The girl's eyes didn't know if she was looking at the leather armor or staring at herself.
He had forgotten that this girl hadn't come over to take care of the business today.
"Yes, I'm going to the barracks to deliver the goods, and the staff is urging me." Lei Yang didn't know how to explain to this girl, so he replied with a smile.
Xiao Wei blushed inexplicably after hearing this: "But...... Master, you haven't made me leather armor today. ”
Lei Yang scratched his head: "Wait for me to come back, the affairs over there in the military camp are more important." ”
"With such a heavy rain, wouldn't it be safe for you to go out now? The barracks isn't a good place either, so let's wait for the rain to light up before going. The girl seemed to be very reluctant to let Lei Yang leave, and kept persuading the other party.
"It's okay, I'll go and go back."
The girl seemed to suddenly remember something at this time, and her eyes lit up: "Why don't I accompany the master to you!" Master, you definitely need a helper for delivery. ”
Lei Yang was a little helpless when he heard this, and felt that this girl had been pestering herself: "It's okay, I'll just go alone." ”
"But people are worried......"
Lei Yang remembered the way he had always dealt with his sister, so he reached out and touched the human girl's head.
The girl's eyes widened in disbelief: "Master...... You, you, you, you, you, you......"
Her face was red, and she couldn't believe that Lei Yang would make such an intimate gesture to her.
Unexpectedly, Lei Yang waved his hand, and he had already walked into the heavy rain outside the workshop.
The girl quickly threw away the umbrella and touched her face with both hands.
Although it was cold, her face could really be said to be hot.
Lei Yang walked a long distance in the rain, and then seemed to hear the little devil named "Lei Ruoya" in his heart laughing at him:
"Tut-tut, it's really the aura of the protagonist."
……
The city lord transferred a large number of soldiers from the barracks, and in the end, I don't know where they went, and the disappearance of soldiers still happens every day, so the entire barracks is a little empty.
Because there were fewer and fewer people in the barracks, even the number of soldiers guarding the barracks gates dropped from one to two. The soldiers guarding the gate stood alone at the gate, feeling that there was almost a smell of coldness in the barracks at this moment.
He was alone and engrossed at the gate of the barracks, the wooden fence more or less blocking him from some of the rain.
He felt cold and bored, but he dutifully stood by the door.
Because the lord of the castle had deliberately instructed him in the morning that no strange people should be allowed in today-although he didn't understand why the lord had deliberately ordered this today, and he personally thought that anyone would come to hang out in a place like the barracks in such a ghostly weather.
Just as the few rays of light were gradually turning to the west, and it seemed that it was gradually approaching nightfall, a soldier suddenly came out of the barracks with a hippie smile.
The soldier glanced at him guarding the gate, waved his hand and said, "Hey, brother has worked hard. ”
The soldier's tone of voice was extremely frivolous, and it sounded like this person was extremely improper, so the soldier guarding the door subconsciously frowned after hearing the other party's words, and looked at the other party seriously for a while, wondering if this person would be a suspicious person.
However, after two glances, he found that this person's appearance was familiar, and he should have seen it many times in the barracks.
So he also relaxed, and just said coldly to the soldier, "What are you doing here?" ”
The other party looked at him and smiled, and his tone of voice was not serious at all: "The staff thinks that it is too hard for you to guard the door alone, brother, let me take your shift." ”
"Staff?" The soldiers guarding the gate couldn't help but be vigilant again, and the rumors that the staff members were behind the disappearance of the soldiers were all over the barracks recently, and the soldiers would almost subconsciously become alert when they heard something related to the staff members.
He thought for a while, and then rejected the other party: "No need, the city lord ordered me to stay here, and I will not leave my post without the order of the city lord." ”
In the face of such a straightforward refusal, the soldier was not annoyed, but just smiled at him and said: "Since you insist on doing this, brother, then I will not force it, but I see that you are really bored here alone, brother, so I will stay here and accompany you." ”
Before the other party could answer, he opened the conversation box first: "My name is Ike, I have been a soldier for three years, I have been working under the staff, the most annoying thing is training and tasks, and my favorite thing is to go to the tavern outside for a drink or a cannon every week when I go out of the camp......"
The soldier named Ike kept chattering, which made the soldier guarding the door very upset, wondering how a big man could talk so much.
When he heard what Ike said about his dislikes and likings, he frowned, and was about to open his mouth to reprimand this person, but unexpectedly, the other party suddenly showed a surprised expression at this time, and stretched out his hand and pointed outside: "Eh, brother, look, someone is coming." ”
The soldier guarding the door thought Ike was just joking, but when he realized that his expression didn't seem fake, he looked in the direction of his finger into the rain.
He noticed that there was actually a person walking slowly towards the barracks in that direction.
The man was dressed in rain and wearing a hat, and he seemed to be holding a cart in his hand, and he staggered in the rain, and his thin body seemed to be overwhelmed by the heavy rain at any time.
"Stop! What for!? The soldiers guarding the gate yelled at the man.
When the man heard this, he stopped moving forward, raised his head and replied: "The army has ordered a batch of leather armor here in our Jiangnan leather workshop, and I have come to deliver it." ”
The man looked up, but he couldn't see his face clearly in the very dark rain.
The soldier guarding the gate was stunned when he heard this, he had only recently been transferred to guard the gate of the barracks, but he had heard that this was indeed the case.
But he thought about it today, the city lord specially ordered that no suspicious person should be allowed to enter the barracks, and this person happened to come to deliver goods at such a time, and he still couldn't let him in.
When the soldier guarding the gate was thinking, the man had already walked in front of him, and seeing that the other party wanted to enter the camp directly, he hurriedly stood up and stopped the other party: "The city lord ordered that you can't let people in casually today, and if you want to deliver the goods, let's do it another day." ”
The man buried his head so deep that the soldier could not see the other man's face at all.
At this moment, Ike on the side suddenly said something to this person.
This sentence was very inexplicable, and the soldiers on the side frowned: "Can you see the stars?" ”
Although it is now close to dusk, it is still daytime, and there are no stars to see—this sentence is really inexplicable.
But the man seemed to understand something, and replied, "I see, what a big and bright one." ”
"What are you talking about?" The soldier vaguely felt that something was wrong, and couldn't help but be alert.
Ike glanced at him, then at the man:
"Then draw your sword?"
"Then draw your sword."
Before the man's words were fully answered, the soldier saw that he had lifted the black cloth from the cart and quickly ...... it
Drew a long knife that was emitting cold light!
Before the soldier could even see the full extent of the long knife, he had already seen an extremely sharp sword light slashing towards him!
The long knife was extremely sharp, and the raindrops everywhere it passed were neatly cut into two pieces, and it didn't even make a sound!
This knife seemed to split the dark and dying night, as if it had split the black qi in the sky, and with a stunning cold light, it slashed towards the soldier's neck like lightning!
The long knife slashed effortlessly through the soldier's neck, and a large human head was tossed from where the long knife had slashed, and a worthless spout of bright red blood from the neck, mixed with raindrops falling on the man's and Ike's clothes.
Although Ike has been in the army for three years, it is the first time he has truly seen murder, so his face is very pale at this time.
But the fishy smell of blood seemed to stimulate his brain, and after a while, an abnormal flush appeared on his face: "The rules of the Azure Continent are set to death, I have not even done anything to kill people for so many years...... It turns out that this is murder. ”
"If I have the chance, I'll definitely experience it for myself." There was a little more excitement and fanaticism in Ike's eyes, and he glanced at the man in front of him who was wearing a hat in the rain, and found that killing people didn't seem to make his mood fluctuate in the slightest, "You adventurers are very skilled at doing this kind of thing. ”
The man was silent for a moment, then said to him slowly, "I suggest you better not think like that. ”
"What it tastes like to kill...... It's not comfortable. ”
