Chapter 57: The Sea (I)

I really wanted to kill him.

We sneaked into the forest, and we were already invading the Centaur's territory, but they didn't notice it, but now, if I let this centaur go back, more centaurs will come to the forest, and when the time comes, it will be even harder for us to find food!

And, what does he seem to say, a way to find food?

Look at this centaur, although there are some small injuries on his body, plus I have overturned it, his body is covered with mud, and he looks embarrassed, but there is no sign of hunger at all.

This shows that the centaurs are indeed not hungry.

Does this mean that the drought did not affect the centaurs?

So, I put down my hammer, picked up my shield, and watched carefully for what tricks he had, and asked in a low voice, "Food?" Where is the food? ”

The centaur fell to the ground in pain and said, "I will say it, and you will not kill me!" ”

I snorted, "I've never seen such a cowardly centaur like you!" ”

The centaur said, "I, I, am not a coward...... I, killed the brother of the Redmane Gadrel, and offended the Redmane Bandits! I was driven here for the sake of the people in the village! ”

When I heard the name of Redmane Gadreel, I was even more curious: "Isn't Redmane Gadrel dead?" ”

The centaur said: "Yes, he was killed by your minotaurs, and then your minotaurs also sent an army, and Gadreel's brother took the rest of the people and hid near our village, and then he has been bullying our villagers, and I, killed him, saved the villagers, and was chased and killed by his men, so I came here, but I didn't expect that you were all hungry like this, and ran to the forest to find food......"

I wondered even more: "Aren't you centaurs all robbers?" ”

The half-man suddenly became anxious: "Hey! What nonsense are you talking about? We centaurs are part of the orcs, just like you! It's just that those bandit groups are always harassing your territory, and you think we are robbers! ”

I said, "How is this possible?" ”

The centaur said, "How is it impossible? The robbers not only rob you minotaurs of their food, but also our food, they are the robbers, we are not! ”

Centaurs are also good and bad?

I don't believe it much, however, I'm more concerned about food.

I said, "I don't care about that, where is the food you're talking about?" The drought is so severe, how do you still have something to eat? ”

The centaur hurriedly said: "Of course the grassland and the forest are afraid of drought, but we are not afraid of the seaside, we can fish in the sea......"

Ocean? Catch fish?

Hearing this, I suddenly remembered that there were some small fish in the small river outside the village, and we would catch the small fish, but we would just keep them in a wooden pot to play, and I didn't think that they could eat them, because they were too small.

However, my grandfather seems to have said that the centaurs on the beach will go to the sea to fish, and the fish in the sea are thicker than my thighs......

With such a big fish, just two of them are enough for our whole family to eat for a day......

I can't easily trust this guy in front of me, though.

"Huh, trying to lie to me?" I said, "How can I get there so far from the sea?" Besides, it's all your people over there......"

The centaur hurriedly said, "No, no, no, I didn't lie to you!" I'm not a bandit, and I have no enmity with you, and the goblin merchants and troll merchants who have been to your village have also come to our village! Among the things they sold us were the bones of wild beasts that you hunted, which were good materials for making bows and arrows and armor, and from their mouths we knew what you were doing on the steppes, and we knew that you were only the centaur robbers! ”

I said, "I still can't trust you!" ”

The centaur was stunned: "You guys, don't you know what we centaurs are doing by the sea?" ”

I said, "All I know is that you centaurs are robbers!" Didn't you attack just now and try to kill me too? ”

The centaur cried out in a hurry, "Oh my God! Just now I just wanted to scare you away, you are so short, I thought I would scare you away as long as I was fierce, but I didn't expect you to be so brave and so strong......"

I was smug when I said this, and I said, "I didn't expect us minotaurs to be so powerful?" Hum! ”

The centaur said, "How did I know you were so strong? You're not like the ordinary minotaur they say you are! You know, I've fought bandits, and they say that the average Minotaur is about as strong as a centaur, but she's shorter and easier to defeat...... Unexpectedly, you are completely different from what they said! ”

I probably understood what he meant by an ordinary minotaur, who should be about the same level as a member of a hunting party.

I do have a little bit better than them, though......

I said, "None of this matters, the problem is, the method you said to find food doesn't work at all!" In order to prevent you from going back to report the news, I can only ......"

The centaur finally got scared and shouted, "No, no, no, don't kill me, listen to me!" Listen to me! I really didn't lie to you! I really know! You, you put the hammer down! ”

I slowly flattened the hammer and said, "Say it!" If I find out you're lying, you're dead! You know, the red-maned Gadrel has killed a lot of our minotaur kind! ”

The centaur hurriedly said, "The red-maned Gadrel also killed the people of our village, we are not enemies!" ”

I kind of took his word for it.

After all, after such a long time of bickering with Leo, I can also guess if the centaur in front of me is lying.

Although centaurs are our enemies, they are not like invaders from another world, and they do not carry something fake in every word.

I said, "Say it, hurry!" ”

The centaur said, "You, you let me get up first, okay?" ”

I took two steps back, and he quickly stood up.

Then he looked down at me and said, "You, you're not an adult, are you?" ”

I was a little weak-hearted: "How is that possible?" I'm an adult, how can I come out looking for food? Don't digress from the topic, hurry up! ”

"I know of a secret passage that leads to the sea...... It was a small valley with cliffs on both sides, and no one else could get in! ”

I'm a little excited.

A secluded place to get food means we can get food without being discovered by the centaurs!

I said, "It's such a nice place, why don't you occupy it?" ”

The centaur said, "I only found out after I escaped, and now I dare not go back." ”

I said, "What are you afraid of when the red-maned Gadrel is dead, and his brother is dead?" ”

The centaur said, "But their men are still there, and they themselves are divided into two bands...... By the way, what was the title you earned in the Trials of Adulthood? ”

Without hesitation, I said, "My title is, Blood Hammer!" ”

Immediately, I noticed that something was wrong and said angrily, "I warn you again, don't divert the topic!" Where is the secret passage you are talking about? ”

The half-man looked at me with some suspicion and said, "It's ...... Well, the north side...... I can take you there, as long as you don't kill me......"

I said, "If what you say is true, and you are not in league with the centaur bandits, I will let you go!" ”

The centaur nodded and said, "Okay, I trust you, Bloodhammer!" ”

I said, "What's your name?" You're an adult too, aren't you? ”

The centaur said, "I, I should have come of age, but unfortunately, because the bandits have taken over our village, I haven't had time to participate in the trial, I, my name is Gauss!" ”

I said, "Well, Gauss, take me to that place!" ”

Gauss limped two steps and said, "Not far...... Hiss...... You've got a lot of strength! ”

I said, "You're not bad, if you were another centaur, I broke your legs." ”

Gauss was surprised and said, "You fought with the centaur bandits?" ”

I said, "I...... Participated in the battle to kill the Redmane Gadrel. ”

Gauss was even more surprised: "Oh my God! So you killed the red-maned Gadrel? Well, I've heard, there's a small town called Sri around here, and there's a strong village here, called Weihe Village, right? ”

I said, "It's the village of Ville." I'm from the village of Vale! ”

Gauss said, "I see! But, I'm guessing you've already had a lot of people go up together to kill Redmane Gadreel, right? ”

I said, "Almost, there are three of us......"

Gauss interrupted me in surprise: "Impossible! Even if it's a centaur bandit, there aren't ten people who can't beat him at all! ”

I said, "Hmph, believe it or not!" Don't talk nonsense, lead the way! ”

Gauss pursed his lips and said, "Forget it, I can't beat you anyway, you say yes...... Let's go, I'll take you! ”

I followed him all the way through the forest, a long way to the north.

I said, "You're from the north?" ”

"Of course," said Gauss, "I was chased all the way by them, jumping into the sea, and it was only then that I discovered the secret passage, and finally came here. ”

I remembered something again and asked, "Then why did you see us running?" Didn't you say you weren't robbers? ”

Gauss said, "Of course you have to run, you will all think of me as a robber anyway, won't you?" ”

We talked as we walked, and it was not until the afternoon that we finally found a hidden tunnel under a hill.

Gauss offered to lead the way, and we passed through the tunnel.

At the exit of the tunnel, I saw the sea.
