Chapter 31: The Young Hunter
Willy followed the little clerk's instructions and walked to the staircase.
As soon as he reached the second floor, he saw several men in coarse linen clothes wandering at the door of a certain room.
Most of them have rough skin, vicissitudes of life, and some even have ugly scars on their faces, and each of them is equipped with special weapons and tools, and they look like professional hunters.
Helai is a veteran hunter with more than ten years of hunting experience, he has caught countless wild beasts, he has ambushed tigers, and he has fought hungry wolves, and his body is covered with all kinds of scars.
His hair was relatively long, tied into braids and twisted behind his head, and when he saw Willy coming, a disdainful smile appeared on his face: "There is an arrogant imp here." ”
From Willy's attire, he could already tell that Willy was a hunter.
Not only Helai, but several other hunters also looked at Willy with contempt. This is not to blame them, the profession of hunter itself is an accumulation of experience, and it takes a long time to accumulate. These were all old hunters, at least from the outside, and they had also had friends who had been hunters together, but many of them were eliminated, either badly injured or food for the beasts' mouths.
Willy naturally saw the unkindness of these people, but he didn't care.
He walked to the door and took a look, and found that the door had not yet opened, and there was a sign hanging on it, and the words on the sign Wei Li did not recognize, and judging by the reactions of the people around him, it probably meant waiting or signing up.
So Willy consciously stood by the side of these people and waited together.
In just half an hour, a few more hunters came, and the number of people waiting was about ten.
Most of these hunters were hunters from the vicinity of Diamondtown, either in Morse Forest or perhaps in Pole Forest, so many of them found acquaintances who were present. But Willy is different, he hasn't been a hunter for many days, and he doesn't know any hunters around him.
"Guys, I've been waiting a long time. ”
Finally, from the corner of the stairs, a young man in armor and a cross sword at his waist approached.
He has a resolute face and a sharp edge in his eyes, giving people an inexplicable sense of oppression from afar. Beside him, followed by a Sven man in his thirties, with a notebook, a quill and ink in his hands, at first glance he was the recorder who signed up.
"My name is Bamoth, and I'm a senior knightly squire of Lord Kells' personal guard. ”
As soon as Bamos's voice fell, the dozen or so hunters became a little restrained.
An experienced old hunter, who often deals with various merchants, has no low status among the commoners, so he also knows what a high-ranking knight squire represents. This Bamos, so young, is a high-ranking knightly squire beside Baron Kells, and his future is limitless.
"Huh?"
The recorder had opened the door, and Bamos had half stepped into the door, but suddenly he glanced at the young Willy in the crowd.
Bamos was a little surprised: "There is such a young hunter." ”
There was no sarcasm in his tone, just pure curiosity.
But the other hunters around him all chuckled.
Helai, in particular, said directly: "Maybe some people think that they have caught a hare by accident, and they can also call themselves hunters." ”
"Lord Bamos. ”
Willy ignored the other voices, and he nodded slightly, as a compliment.
He knows very well that under the aristocratic system, it is best to maintain enough respect for the superiors, if you blindly do not fit in with the eyes and no one, you will suffer sooner or later.
"It's brave, hunter is a dangerous profession. ”
Bamos smiled.
More than a dozen hunters followed Bamos into the room one after another.
The room was so big that it didn't feel cramped even if fifty or sixty people came in. This is also an advantage of a large area and sparsely populated area, when building a building, you don't need to worry about the area of the land, you only need to worry about whether the building materials are enough.
"Alright, everyone, now open the registration process. ”
Bamos stood aside, and the recorder had dipped his quill in ink and was ready to write.
"Line up one by one, say the name of each and every one of you, if I have ever heard of your name, then you will go straight through the registration, if I have not heard of your name, you need to prove your strength to me. ”
He wasn't worried that someone would impersonate him, because there were many old hunters present, and whoever lied would be easily exposed.
Bamos's words made everyone understand that Baron Kells's hunting trip to the Boole Forest was not something that could be participated in at random.
"I'll come first. ”
Helle, with his pigtails, stood at the front, and behind him was Willy.
"Your name. ”
Bamos asked.
"Helai. ”
As he said this, Helai's face showed a faint pride on his face.
Bamos frowned, as if thinking about something, and suddenly smiled: "I have heard your name, I once accepted the commission of a large medicinal herb in Blue Whale Town to hunt tigers in the Pole Forest and obtain tiger guts, and you did it." ”
"It's me. ”
Helay tried to keep himself humble, but the corners of his mouth lifted betrayed his thoughts.
"Good, pass, write it down. ”
Bamos made a decision, motioning for Hellai to sit down in a distant seat.
Next, to Veli.
"Your name?"
Bamos's eyes narrowed slightly, as if he was interested in the overly young hunter. Before that, he had guessed that someone would come to fish in troubled waters in order to seek a reward of five Gillums, but after seeing Willy, he didn't think that Willy was such a person.
Because this young man was so calm, if he was going to get by, he should always show some nervousness.
"Willy. ”
Willy replied.
Bamos pondered for a moment and shook his head regretfully: "I'm sorry, I haven't heard your name, you need to confirm your abilities to me." ”
"Just drive it out, how can this kind of imp be a good hunter. ”
Helai, who was in his seat, still couldn't control his stinky mouth, and said with a smile from the side.
The rest of the hunters laughed too, and everyone was on the same mind.
"How do you prove your strength?
Willy remained calm and unfazed.
Bamos nodded: "Of course, skill can prove a lot of problems. ”
When Willy heard this, he suddenly pointed at Helai: "I want him to be a target for me." ”
Bamos was stunned for a moment, and then laughed, he didn't expect that this humble young man would have such an aggressive side: "Yes, I agree!"
"Boy, you're ......"
Hele was furious, and he was unabashedly trampling on his dignity.
He raged and got up and walked towards Willy.
However, at this moment, Hurley suddenly saw Willy make a move.
He took the crossbow off his back with one hand and pinched a crossbow arrow with the other.
Load the arrow, fire.
It was just a matter of a moment, and Willy didn't make any aim at all.
Sou!
Crossbow bolts are fired.
Halley was suddenly creepy, he had never seen such skillful movements!
That's too fast!
He didn't have time to think, he didn't have time to dodge, death seemed imminent.
