Chapter VI. Friends down

"Two copper coins."

Hawke took a step forward and took the initiative to pay two copper coins, including Pete's share, one copper coin is not much, but this action is easier to bring people closer to each other, and helps to improve mutual feelings.

"Oh, thanks, Hawke." This matter is really good for Pete, and his friendliness to Hawke has also risen rapidly, especially when he speaks, he is a little more intimate.

In the militia, no one doesn't like to have multiple friends, especially when facing enemies, a good friend is often the one who can help you and even give you a chance to survive when you are most in danger.

※※※※※※※※※

The two of them came out of the stone gate, and came to the outside of the miners' town, where a gravel-paved road stretched into the distance, and many merchants drove ox carts and horse-drawn carts to and fro, probably because of the long years of heavy loads, which had been somewhat uneven and deformed.

Agriculture in Miners' Town was not well developed, and most of the land outside the city walls was barren, and although many places were reclaimed for crops such as barley and potatoes, the yield was still regrettable.

But fortunately, beyond the mountains and hills more than ten miles away, next to the river and a large lake, the Black Lake City is the kind of fertile land, and every time the merchants who come here to sell grain also ensure that the miners' town is regularly eaten.

"Behold, there it is!"

Pete put his hand above his eyes to block the sun's rays, looked at a hill in the distance, and suddenly showed an excited smile, turned to Hawke and said, "I really can't wait to see that fortress." ”

"Oh, I saw it."

Squinting slightly, Hawke also looked at the place he was looking at, a gravel road stretched out into the hills on that side, and under a sentry tower at least ten meters high, there was a small fortress made entirely of stone.

It was the fortified fortress built by Viscount Lane, which contained nearly five hundred regular troops of Viscount Lane, who were responsible for guarding the security of the miners' town, but this was not a place to train militia.

The place where the militia was trained was several wooden military buildings built of wood and slag under the fortress, which was the militia training camp in the town, and was also directly led by the regular army above.

And in some cases, the militia had to follow a part of the regular army to fight to eliminate the bandits or aliens who had sneaked over the hill of the Three Dukes, after all, all the regular troops could not leave the fortress.

"Hey, are you here for militia training too?"

Hawke and Pete stood in place and talked with a smile on their faces, when a voice suddenly came from behind them, and they turned their heads to find a strong young man who was also holding an infantry short sword and a round shield, and beckoned with a smile: "I'm John!" ”

"Hawke." "Pete."

The two of them were also stunned, looking at this sturdy young man, they also took the initiative to smile kindly, and said their names, since others took the initiative to show their friendliness, then the two of them couldn't be cold.

"Of course, so do we." Hawke looked at the stout young man named John, nodded and said with a smile, "Your figure is really burly. ”

"It's two laps bigger than us!"

Pete also raised his eyebrows and said with a smile, and couldn't help but stretch out his hand to compare the figures of the two, the young man named John was not only half a head taller than the two, but also the size on his body was much larger than the two of them.

Especially looking at the neck, arms and body, although the muscles are not obvious, but there is a faint smell of hardness, obviously not because of obesity produced by the empty meat.

"My father was a butcher, so I guess I eat more meat." When John heard Pete say this, he was a little embarrassed to touch the back of his head, but opened his mouth and smiled: "But I want to be a heroic warrior more." ”

"Of course, our goals are the same!"

Hawke also smiled, although he had only come into contact with this John for the first time, but his first impression of this sturdy young man was really good, and he couldn't help but invite: "Let's go together, so that we can take care of it." ”

And looking at this John's very simple appearance, he is already a friend who can make deep friends, if the friendship relationship is established early, the three of them continue to pull some friends, and they can indeed form a small circle in the militia.

And Hawke has absolute confidence in the leader of this small circle, after all, with the increase of the game system, when the militia is trained, he will definitely stand out and become one of the objects that the instructor focuses on training.

"Well, well, actually, that's what I thought."

John was also happy, touched the back of his head and walked forward with the two of them, but as he was walking, he still turned his head to look at the infantry dagger and round shield on Hawke's back, and couldn't help but exclaim: "Your strength is so great, Hawke." ”

Especially when he looked at Hawke's figure, he was not actually a muscular man, if he said it, he could only be symmetrical, but faintly, he could also see the muscle distribution in it, strong and powerful.

"Some power, but it's okay."

Hawke picked up the infantry dagger at his waist, wrapped in a thick layer of deerskin scabbard, but he could still see that it was far longer than the ordinary infantry dagger, and said with a smile: "I am a blacksmith, of course not a blacksmith apprentice. ”

Blacksmiths and blacksmith apprentices are not the same concept, apprentices are all guys who work on the side, and blacksmiths are the ones who actually forge weapons, armor and iron products.

"I can testify to this, Hawke's blacksmithing skills are very famous in our country."

Pete next to him also nodded, with an expression of admiration on his face, and said to John very seriously: "See, the infantry dagger in his hand is actually made by himself!" ”

"Oh, the god of light is above, it's really shocking."

John couldn't help but widen his eyes, looking at Hawke, who was not much different from himself, he couldn't help but swallow and spit at the mouth, with a certain envy in surprise: "If you are a few years older, I think you are definitely a powerful warrior!" ”

This is indeed his heartfelt emotion, although at first glance at Hawke, he thinks that he has a kind of thinness of an ordinary young man, but if you look closely, you can find that the perennial iron, and after the transformation of the system, will be quite eye-catching.

Moreover, the infantry short sword and round shield were on his back, and even John felt a little out of breath after walking these roads, but Hawk still had a normal complexion, and his breath was not even messy!

"I'm young, but my uncle was a mercenary."

Looking at Hawke's usual appearance, John still became more and more shocked, especially at the bare arms, the muscles on which were neatly hidden: "I have gone through simple military training, but I still feel inferior to you." ”

Looking at the legs that were still walking steadily, and the smoothness when he pulled out the infantry dagger just now, John thought that he could easily see that Hawke's combat quality was definitely not bad, and he was stronger than himself!

"This is probably a frequent forging of infantry daggers, and I'm used to this kind of weapon."

Hawke smiled and actively avoided the topic. The god of light is on top, and to be honest, if it weren't for the changes brought about by the game system, the best result would have been similar compared to John.

However, it is precisely because of the various changes brought about by the game system, not to mention the appearance, if Hawke goes all out now, unless it is a senior mercenary who has experienced countless life-and-death battles going all out, he will not comprehend the seed, and he will be defeated!

After all, the combined use of the three abilities of the Nords, the Imperials, and the Redguards, although it is limited to once a day, but under a round of violent attacks, the damage output is not recorded in the game.

Even if you turn on the ability of "Alduin's Blood", the whole family name will instantly increase to the point of some kind of perversion, if you unlock some kind of mysterious lock and directly transform into the world-destroying dragon Alduin, then I'm afraid that only the legendary, terrifying legendary-level powerhouse can be compared!

Especially for the powerful hole card of transforming into Alduin, although the key to unlocking is still not understood, but if you really comprehend, I am afraid that you can really become one of the few strong people in this world except for the mysterious gods.

"Oh, that's really enviable."

Pete scratched his head on the side, subconsciously glanced at the short sword on his waist, and couldn't help but shrug his shoulders, especially looking at the shield and infantry short sword of the two, he still sighed helplessly: "God of Light, bless me to find a good military crossbow." ”

As an aspiring crossbowman, he expects that the expensive crossbow will have a usable crossbow in the armory, so it depends on the capture in battle, but for the two, the former is difficult, and the latter is equally difficult.

Not to mention the group of ferocious robbers or horse bandits, even for the messy goblins, for some rookies, there is a temperament that is difficult to hold onto.

"I'm sure I'll find it!" Looking at Pete's bitter face, Hawke couldn't help patting him on the shoulder, and said to John with a smile: "Let's help him find a good crossbow together!" ”

This is already some kind of solicitation, of course, adults can hear it when they hear it, but they are still thirteen-year-old children, but Hawke's words still made the other two people faintly find a sense of belonging in their hearts.

"Well, of course!"

John also touched the back of his head and laughed, he was easy to blend into other people's circles, and after a short period of time, he also had a great impression of Hawke and Pete.

For thirteen-year-old children, thoughts and wisdom are also just beginning to step towards adulthood, and it is also the period when thoughts are most stirring, and it is often the friendship of this age that is the most precious, the strongest and worth remembering.

The three of them walked forward side by side with each other, talking about some interesting things from the past, and by the way, looking forward to their future lives, all smiling with a certain confidence, as a group of young men, they are always so confident.
