Chapter 5: Oasis Village
Win?
The stunned herdsman looked incredulous, turned his head to look at Xin, who was flat, and once again knelt on the ground and kept prostrating.
Remove all the metal from the robbers and the dead herdsmen, and pile them together. When the herders threw the bodies out of the oasis so as not to pollute the clean water sources, Xin had already dug a pit in the grass far from the water source and buried the herders' bodies.
Picked up the scimitar and looked at it, closing his eyes and pressing one hand on the tattered metal. A mantra was whispered in his mouth, and all metal immediately melted and deformed.
Under the shocked gaze of the herdsman, the tactical straight knife more than two feet long slowly took shape.
Whether it's the two blood grooves that lead straight to the bottom on both sides, or the barbed serrations on the back that specifically tear wounds, the lethality should be more than enough when dealing with the vast majority of beasts.
"Goo-dong!" the herdsman suddenly swallowed a mouthful of saliva, pointed at the tactical straight knife and then at Xin, and kept repeating in panic: "Wow la woo ru!
Xin hadn't heard of the word, so he didn't know what it meant. So he just smiled and picked up the scimitar and returned it to the herdsmen, turned around and walked towards his blanket.
If a herdsman and six non-human bandits are killed, it is really hard to say whether they can spend the night in peace.
With his own weapons in his hands, as long as he doesn't encounter those magical creatures and a large number of beasts, even if there are troublemakers appearing, it should be more than enough for self-protection.
Xin had fallen asleep, and the herdsmen began to bandage their mounts. Although they can't carry people on this trip, if they are allowed to recuperate in this oasis, they can also ride back on other mounts.
It's all their own stuff anyway, and there's not much difference.
I slept until dawn, and when the herdsmen woke Xin, the sun had completely risen above the ground. The two of them changed into new mounts and hurried to the northwest again, and finally came to an all-wooden village in the afternoon.
At a glance, all of them are dressed like herdsmen, and from the language and comparison of the herdsmen next to them, they know that this place is a medium-sized oasis with an area of more than ten kilometers, and it is no problem to feed 100 herdsmen.
Everyone saw new faces coming in, especially the simplicity and curiosity in the eyes of those children, which made Xin completely let down his vigilance for a while. Even the blood stains that were accidentally splashed on his body last night subconsciously raised his hand to cover it gently.
There is still a protective idea in his consciousness, and it is better not to let the children see the blood when they can prevent them from seeing it. Even if killing is for self-preservation, that is not a reason for children to be infected with the idea of killing!
Under the formation of all the herdsmen, women, old and children, Xin and the herdsmen came to stand in front of the grass house in the middle. The herdsman turned around and bowed down to make a gesture of please, and Xin nodded slightly and took the lead in walking into the grass house.
The smell of animal feces permeated the whole village, except for the slightly lighter one in this cottage. Look around at the plain and simple dΓ©cor and almost the only metal object: the scimitar that hangs on the wooden wall on the right.
It can be known that the person who lives here should be the village chief, or the leader of the village owner.
The nomad pointed to the straw mat on the ground on the left, and Xin immediately walked over and sat cross-legged.
At this moment, the light at the door suddenly dimmed, and a bald-headed and bearded middle-aged strong man with an eagle nose and blue eyes walked in quickly, and the moment he saw Xin, he immediately laughed, opened his arms and walked over quickly to pick him up.
"Bang Bang Bang" kept patting Xin's back, and the herdsmen on the side who hadn't had time to speak had a paler face were a little paler than paper.
Xin Qiang grinned with the pain in his back, and when the big man put him down, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief, these slaps almost didn't slap him to death!
I don't know if the other party can't control the excitement?
Or are they waiting for an opportunity to get revenge on him?
It was only then that the herdsmen hurried to Dahan's side and explained in a low voice. The big man's originally smiling and rather bold expression became more and more stiff and frightened.
His eyes subconsciously looked at Xin's waist, and it wasn't until the herdsman took a step back after saying that the big man smiled embarrassedly and knelt down.
Seeing this, Xin immediately raised his eyebrows, sighed, stepped forward to help the big man. Shaking his head, he patted the other party's shoulder, patted his stomach and smiled.
In the next three days, everyone in the village will bow down when they see Xin. This made Xin, who had long been unconvinced of this set, could only sigh in his own cottage.
But there is still a comrade-in-arms, and the herdsman is relatively relaxed, so Xin can only put the matter of continuing to learn the language completely on this herdsman comrade-in-arms.
After a few days of learning and communication, Xin finally knew his precise location. The border of the steppes southeast of Telia, the northwestern tip of the Krud Desert.
In other words, he is on the western shore of the Elrond Continent, and if he wants to get to the Bulaka Continent, he must go south through the entire Krud Desert.
Far away?
Thousands of kilometers are certainly far enough!
But it's also much closer than landing near the Harmon Forest and crossing the whole of Erich.
With the attitude of being at ease when it comes to what has come, in addition to studying the use of magic now, Xin must prepare as soon as possible and walk through the entire Crude Wasteland in one go.
Five days later, in the afternoon.
The herdsman Ken hurriedly ran over with a few hoes: "Lord Xin, Lord Xin, there are so many broken hoes you want." β
"Three?" Xin went out and looked at the hoe on the ground, and couldn't help frowning slightly and wondering: "There are a hundred and ten people in the stockade, why are there so many rags left?"
"Ugh. Ken couldn't help but smile when he heard this: "It's not that your magic is so powerful, even the rust can be completely peeled off and broken down into clean metal." Now of all the unusable metal objects in the whole stockade, only these three hoes are old. You see?"
"Does the owner of the hoe have any requirements?" Xin Wenyan took a deep breath and nodded, picked up the hoe and glanced at it: "What do you want to make with these metals?"
"A hammer, or an axe. Ken reminded with a smile: "We're going to hunt, and those big-eared monsters, someone has found a lot of their footprints in the south!"
"Yes!" A slight smile appeared on the corner of Xin's mouth: "I can only use magic three times a day, and I have to go back to rest when I run out." β
"It's okay, it's okay!" Ken couldn't help scratching his scalp and laughed: "As long as you have weapons, the entire stockade is combat power." Lord Xin, you just need to rest, you don't need to help. β
In the oasis before, he had seen Xin make a move, killing two big-eared monsters with a knife, without even blinking an eyelid. He originally thought that Xin was a mage, but he didn't expect his melee ability to be so strong.
But if you want to be a battle mage, but the ability to manipulate metal is the specialty of a puppeteer.
Now he really didn't understand what kind of profession this adult in front of him was.
