Chapter 041: Encounter
The midday sun hung high in the sky, and the scorching sun under the clear blue sky was steaming hot on the city of Wanghuo and the mountains that rose continuously. Even the air was distorted and blurred by the scorching heat, and the streets of Champell shook like a sparkling lake, swaying with vague ripples.
In the streets, all the people wore hats to protect themselves from the scorching sun, and the coachmen with round hats struggled to stabilize their horses under their crotches while cursing in low voices. They did not expect to arrive here, and the horses under the reins suddenly had their manes standing on end, and their snorts snorted, and they trampled on the granite paved road with great anxiety.
The horses felt that they were shrouded in an eerie purgatory, and although it was very hot all around, their bodies felt the biting cold, their feet were weak, and the emotions of fear washed over their minds, making their eyes widen and trample the ground.
"Finally put it back." Grant covered his chest and put the Bow of Will back into the reserve space in the gap where everyone was not looking, he knew that the reserve space with the ability to isolate breath would definitely hide the negative effects of the Bow of Will. Sure enough, after being put back for tens of seconds, the restless horses gradually regained their composure.
Since the mental power of adults has been reached, there is no feeling for the mental suppression within the range, only ordinary horses are inexplicably affected, including the ants walking in the cracks in the ground, and the spiritual sweep they face is even stronger, like a frenzied storm, after Grant withdrew the bow of will, almost all of them were crushed to death.
"Hey, how are the horses? It's weird, it's better to get out of here quickly. ”
"This horse is really weird, is it too hot?"
Many of the coachmen noticed that the horses were back to normal, muttered to themselves, and quickly drove the carriage away.
Seeing that things were back to normal, Grant prepared to go back to the basement to conduct a basic test of the Bow of Will, knowing that its power included any details. This is Grant's homework, and in the past, in the game, various tests have been done on the enchanted weapons in the opponent, including power, and cast speed.
Only in this way can the power of the weapon be brought into full play.
"Smack!"
Feeling the heavy lap on his shoulder, Grant immediately turned his head, shocked to find the two mercenaries behind him grinning at him.
"Yo, Grant, you kid hasn't been to the Rose Tavern for ten days, and I thought you were dead." The blue-haired, green-eyed mercenary speaks the southern language of Mars. Wanghuo City strictly belongs to the north, and the mercenary in front of him was once a nobleman's personal soldier. Because of the war, he was exiled here and eventually settled.
On the other side, the eyes are sunken, and the mercenary with the hooked nose of the eagle makes a friendly gesture, his narrow eyes are slightly narrowed, and the corners of his mouth are not very natural, as if he is not too good at greeting, and he quickly withdraws his hand when he reaches out slightly. He usually likes to sit quietly in the corner and listen to Grant's stories, but he has not made a deep acquaintance, and he is more embarrassed now.
"Edie, Hyde, why are you two here?" Grant was slightly startled, and his eyes showed a hint of doubt.
"Hehe, isn't this waiting for you to give us a story? We've been waiting here for ten days to find you and bring you to the Rose Tavern to tell a story, how about it? Let's go now. ”
Standing up with a slightly fat body, the blue-haired and green-eyed Hyde smiled, grabbed Grant with both hands, and prepared to take him to the tavern. Edie in the back was speechless. He understands that this friend in front of him is good at everything, he just likes to open his eyes and tell nonsense, who would believe that a person stands here for ten days, just to wait for you.
The stunned Grant didn't care, he planned to finish studying the Bow of Will, so he went to the Rose Tavern to finish the final story, and went to the blacksmith shop to order a batch of steel arrows.
"Okay, let's go now, I've been busy lately."
Without a trace, Grant lowered his hand and followed Hyde towards the Rose Tavern.
…………
Rose Tavern.
After Grant didn't go to the tavern for a long time to tell stories, the tavern's business withered slightly, and a few people left to look for a store with a wide variety of liquor. After all, they're here, and they just like Grant to tell stories.
In the quiet tavern, on the gray and yellow counters on both sides, mercenaries squeezed their heads and whispered, their faces showed a rare solemn expression, and even the owner of the tavern, the old man of "Guangming Ding", listened closely.
"Have you heard? Martinez was actually dismembered by a group of wild beasts in the Gainyi Forest, and the end was tragic, I heard that his body was torn into pieces by the claws of the beasts, and it seemed that only one head had been preserved. ”
"It's miserable, but what about his team? Even Martinez, who is comparable to the strength of a quasi-knight, has been dealt with, and I don't believe those mercenaries will survive. ”
"I guess it's because of a teenager."
They talked in a low voice, and the tavern owner next to him looked gloomy, and he had in his mind the Martinez who was slamming the door and liked to take advantage of the small advantage, and he was settling with himself about the cost of the drink. But this does not erase the essence of a good person, and he will always be the first to rush forward in the face of a crisis.
"It's a pity that this mercenary, close to the strength of a quasi-knight, was actually eliminated on the periphery. May the Lord bless him with peace in the sky. The tavernkeeper whispered a blessing and continued to scrub the crimson glasses, placing them on the counter, still in a row.
"Bang dang!"
At that moment, the door suddenly opened, and many people turned their heads to the door.
A head of gray curly hair on the head, like a nest of birds, a spherical face, a mercenary poked out his head, his two huge eyes swept a glance, the eyes revealed a hint of nostalgia, on the gray-black trivia armor, hung a lifelike fire mark, this is the fire mercenary group captain logo, but also Martinez's team.
"Captain, I, Conrad, will help you fulfill your last promise." Conrad walked to the counter with a smile to himself and greeted the boss: "Hello boss, I'm a mercenary under Captain Martinez. This time, I came mainly to fulfill the promise he made during his lifetime......"
The people around him, including the boss, suddenly remembered that Martinez strode to the counter before the mission and assured them that he would definitely invite them to a drink when he returned from this mission, but everyone was used to his big words, and they couldn't help but feel sad now.
"How exactly did he die?" The tavern owner took the opportunity to speak, he still didn't believe that with Martinez's skills, he could die so miserably.
"Here's how it is......" Conrad began, and the people around him leaned forward to listen carefully.
It wasn't until a few minutes later that everyone expressed their grief. At the same time, they were surprised by the flaxen-colored black-robed young man, they thought that the young man had such a terrifying skill, and it was estimated that he was close to an ordinary knight. Unconsciously, he slowly overlapped with the boy who told the story in his memory, but he shook his head as soon as he wanted to, with a face full of disbelief. After all, it was a teenager close to an ordinary knight, and it couldn't be Grant.
"When~~"
At that moment, the door was opened again.
"Hey, old man Hyde, I've brought Grant this time, and you're going to give me a glass of McRon." A loud grinning voice came from outside the tavern. (To be continued...... )
