Chapter 18: Pie in the Sky?
Walking out of the church, Han Xing saw more than a dozen people dressed differently, all of whom were reincarnators like himself. The only thing they have in common is that they are almost all blonde and blue-eyed, and the few who are also red-haired or black-haired and white-looking.
This made Han Xing the most conspicuous of the dozen or so people, some of them wore metal plate armor and held knights' swords and shields, and some wore leather armor with bows and arrows on their backs, which came out of the cold weapon warfare; Others wore leather jackets with shotguns on their shoulders, cool sunglasses, and a Schwarzenegger look, while others wore jeans, cowboy hats, and revolvers in their hands. These are coming out of the world of thermal weapons. What's more, wearing a one-piece chemical protective suit, but holding a chainsaw in his hand, "Brother, what kind of trouble are you doing!" "Are you from Saw World? (Did you guess that?) οΌ
Han Xing could faintly hear their whispers.
"This guy is Asian, right?"
"How did the Asians get to us?"
"Maybe I can't get along locally! Those who fled came. A fellow in a mage's robe scoffed.
Obviously, Han Xing's appearance provided them with a hot topic, and soon a giant man with a height of about 1.9 meters walked towards Han Xing fiercely, wearing leather armor that could only cover the vital points, holding a mace in his hand, and it also shone with green magic light.
Every step of this giant man dressed as a barbarian, the earth seemed to tremble, and he came to Han Xing, revealing a hideous and vicious expression and said, "Boy, hand over all your survival points!" Otherwise, uncle, I will make you look good. As he spoke, he took the heavy mace in his right hand and waved it in the air with ease, and then slammed it on the ground, and the dirty ground was suddenly smashed out of a bowl-sized pit, like a trick.
Perhaps worried that Han Xing wouldn't understand, he also made a deliberate gesture, he stretched out his hands, trying to point at Han Xing with his thick and clumsy hand like a carrot to explain his intention.
"I understand." Han Xing was obviously not impressed by his hard work, and said coldly.
"Then it couldn't be better, cute little monkey, do as I say, and you won't be harmed. If you dare not do so, you will follow in the footsteps of that kid. The giant man said fiercely, pointing to a big red-haired boy in the corner of the wall with a nosebleed and a wounded face.
Han Xing looked at the few people dressed as knights in full-body plate armor, they were indifferent to this, as if they couldn't see it, they still gathered together and talked about it. It's really none of my business, hang high.
"Have you learned all your knightly virtues in the belly of a dog? Where is the good protection of the weak, women and children? Han Xing was disgusted by the dog-like gestures of these guys.
Han Xing ignored the stupid big man in front of him, and Han Xing pushed him open as easily as pushing open a door, and walked straight towards the red-haired boy.
"Are you alright?" Han Xing patted the boy on the back and took out another napkin to wipe him off the mess of nosebleeds.
"He hit me, he grabbed me by the neck and lifted me up, and then he slammed me to the ground, and he pulled my clothes, I was so scared! Woooooo I want to go home, I want to see Mom and Dad! As if grasping at a life-saving straw, the red-haired boy pointed at the giant man and accused Han Xing of his crimes. At first, he pretended to be strong, but gradually the more he talked, the more excited he became, and when he talked about his sadness, he cried.
The boy did not speak German, but English, and it was English with a strong accent, coupled with his characteristic red hair, if Han Xing guessed correctly, he should be Scottish.
Therefore, you need to be cautious when you go abroad, go to other countries, speak a language that no one else understands, and when you are chased and killed, others will not understand that you are shouting for help.
"This kid has suffered a loss of language!" The giant man was afraid that he couldn't speak German, even if he robbed him, beat him, and no one would understand the call for help.
Han Xing glared at the giant man in surprise anger, and the giant man was shocked by Han Xing's push just now. However, seeing Han Xing's gaze, he still strode with his head held high, after all, he couldn't show cowardice in what they did.
"The yellow-skinned monkey wants to stand out for the red-haired clown? You're not qualified enough! As he spoke, he stepped forward with a grinding fist, intending to give Han Xing a lesson that he would never forget.
With confidence in his own strength, he swung out a punch with the sound of wind and thunder, satisfied that he would easily knock the "yellow-skinned monkey" in front of him to the ground and beg for mercy, but found that this punch of broken stone and jade seemed to hit the steel plate, and he suddenly felt a sharp pain in his hand.
He looked up and saw a mountain-like man a head taller than himself standing in front of him, his expression resolute and cold, and his fist hit him straight in the lower abdomen.
This mountain-like strong man is naturally Han Xing's personal bodyguard No. 29, and he resisted the giant's fierce all-out blow, but he didn't even brow, as if the giant man didn't hit his body.
Seeing this terrifying "devil muscle-fleshed man", the giant man's heart trembled, but he still pretended to say: "You are a man, but I advise you not to meddle in things, otherwise I will let you see the power of the mace in my hand." But from his trembling legs and stomach, anyone could see that he was very nervous.
He saw that No. 29 didn't move at all, so he knew that he was afraid that he couldn't be good, so he made up his mind to strike first, he was still very confident in his weapon "mace", the base damage was 20, and the attack also came with 5 points of toxin damage per second, which lasted for 50 seconds, and many meat shield-type warriors were planted in his hands.
He pretended to turn away, and turned around and cocked his mace towards Twenty-Nine's head. No. 29 stood still, still waiting for Han Xing's order.
The mace left several holes in Twenty-Nine's head and took away a piece of flesh. The giant man suddenly felt smug and propped his mace on the ground, intending to wait quietly for the toxin to attack.
After waiting for 1 minute, but he didn't see No. 29 die, he was immediately annoyed, and he had the courage to come up and give No. 29 another belly, and when he didn't resist, he crackled like a storm.
As everyone knows, as a power-type evolutionary No. 29, how can he easily shake the copper skin and iron bones that he exchanged for almost all his wisdom? What's more, he is also immune to toxins, and his recovery ability is even more terrifying, don't you see, his peers can squeeze out the bullets that are shot into the head?
As a power-based evolution, No. 29 has a special attribute "Steel and Iron Bone" HP +200, not to mention, it cancels the vital point, and the damage of cold weapons is halved. Didn't any of the "devil terminators" killed by the Thirteenth Master eat at least dozens of bullets! As for the bazooka, it was also because of the internal explosion, just like the explosion caused by the tank being hit in the ammunition rack, and it had nothing to do with his defense.
To put it simply, even if No. 29 stands and lets him fight, he can't beat No. 29 even if he dislocates his hand, and with his current attack, it is equivalent to smashing the wall with a wooden stick, and he can't even catch up with No. 29's recovery speed.
At Han Xing's suggestion, a sneer flashed at the corner of No. 29's mouth, and he gripped the wrist of the tired giant man like a dead dog, and with a slight force, his mace fell to the ground with a "thud", and the giant man grinned even more painfully.
In the end, the giant man was covered in cold sweat and had to beg for mercy from No. 29.
Han Xing naturally asked him to return all the survival points of the red-haired guy to him, and even asked for 1000 survival points as punishment, the big man was blue when his hand was grabbed by No. 29, so he had to reluctantly comply, and then ran away with his tail between his legs.
is the so-called invisible outfit B is the most dazzling, seeing the crackling attack of this tower-like man, it was as if he was tickling the 29th, and the rest of the people no longer dared to underestimate Han Xing and the others.
Han Xing, who looked at the red-haired boy who was smiling, asked, "What's your name?" β
"Roy Dunbar, where are you? Uncle. β
"Me? My name is Han Xing! β
"Uncle Hanschel!" Hearing this red-haired boy call himself like this, Han Xing had no choice but to admit it, after all, it was difficult to explain the names of Chinese to him.
"What's your last name? Uncle Hanschel? β
Han Xing Khan, how is he going to explain to him that his surname is Han Xing? He suddenly remembered that No. 1 had jokingly called himself No. 2, and casually replied, "Second."
The red-haired boy immediately looked at Han Xing with admiration, but he didn't know that there was a kind of medal in Britain called the Order of the Garter. In Roy's eyes, a good person like Han Xing must be a genuine knight or his descendants.
Han Xingzheng instructed Roy to go to the space to exchange for general-purpose German, but suddenly there was a middle-aged man with two mustaches, with a proud face, holding his head high, as if he was wearing a crown on his head, surrounded by guards.
The group of dog-like knights immediately greeted the middle-aged man with a straight face, and looked at the middle-aged man for a while, really praising the middle-aged man to the sky, Han Xing suddenly thought that this was the Earl of Nassau.
But if you listen carefully, this guy is just a castle steward, and there is a way to be a seven-rank official in front of the prime minister's door, and this little butler under the Earl of Nassau is an expert in fox and fake tiger power, and even those guys dressed as knights are surrounded by him with a sneer.
didn't know that Han Xing made a big fuss, just like the dialogue between Gendry Baratheon and Repai in "Game of Thrones" said:
"Those who wear armor are not necessarily knights, any fool, as long as you have money, you can come to the blacksmith shop to buy a suit of armor to wear."
These knights were not real knights at all, they were just swordsmen in armor at best. Then I saw that the giant man dressed as a barbarian also joined the welcome queue, desperately squeezing his ugly face, looking at the strength of those "knights" and his intimacy, feeling that they were the same dog!
Originally, the mustachioed butler felt 18 points dissatisfied with Han Xing and the others not going to greet him, but Han Xing and Roy's looks were so conspicuous that he still stared at the two for a few seconds.
He coughed, and the guards behind him immediately stepped forward, pushed those sycophants away, and cleared a way for him, and he walked straight towards Han Xing and Roy.
The "knights" and the barbarian giant who had suffered Han Xing's great loss suddenly showed a gloating expression on their faces, according to their thoughts, this castle steward, who had always been vain and arrogant, would definitely take care of Han Xing and Roy.
Even Han Xing was bitter in his heart, what a bad luck! I let Liu Shan's bastard fool him! It seems that he can only come to the Western Kingdom, but he doesn't know that this Western Kingdom is the most hierarchical, emperors, kings, dukes, earls, barons, knights, his own yellow face, where can I eat good fruits here!
It's better to listen to the persuasion of that beautiful woman to go to the Northern Federation! Let's mess up a little bit, I still have a chance to get ahead, no matter how bad I am, I should listen to her to change the appearance of a European to herself! What can I do on my own!
There is a way that the king of Hades is good, but the little ghost is difficult! Looking at the castle steward approaching step by step, as well as the guards with bright armor beside him, holding a 2-meter-long halberd in his hand, Han Xing's intestines were full of regret, and he couldn't help but swallow his saliva.
The hat was stuck with colorful feathers, and the swaggering castle steward seemed to be a proud rooster, he came to Han Xing, looked at Han Xing and Roy, and unexpectedly, his face actually bloomed with a smile as bright as a chrysanthemum.
Then he actually grabbed Han Xing's hand with a kind face, and was about to say something, when Roy Kid shouted, "Don't take Uncle Hanschel!" As he spoke, he tugged at the butler's sleeve.
The castle steward actually smiled and said to Roy, "Don't worry, I'm not trying to capture your Uncle Hanschel. Then gently pulled his hand away.
"This guy can't have any special fetishes, right?" Looking at the castle steward who was holding his hand, Han Xing suddenly felt a cold air rising from the bottom up.
Perhaps realizing his faux pas, the castle steward hurriedly spread his hand and bowed with aristocratic courtesy: "I'm sorry, Mr. Hanschel, I'm Baron Albrecht, the castle steward of the Count of Nassau, and also the lord of the city, and a vassal of Count Friedrich von Nassau. He said in a proud tone.
"No wonder this shelf is so big, it turns out that he is a real nobleman, and a baron of this town. No wonder the 'knights' circled around him like flies staring at fat. Han Xing thought to himself.
As a baron, he also has the right to canonize knights, just like Don Quixote in "Don Quixote" became a knight under the canonization of a man he thought was a "town governor", although in fact it was a restaurant ownerβ’β’β’β’β’.
"So Hanschel, oh no, this gentleman, may I ask what is your last name?" Baron Albrecht asked in a humble tone. Before Han Xing could speak, his little henchman Roy preemptively replied for him: "Segard, Uncle Hanschel's full name is Hanschel Segard!" β
"Then Mr. Segaard, I, the castle steward of Baron Albrecht, Wetzlar and Count Friedrich von Nassau, in the name of Count Friedrich von Nassau, invite you to a feast at Nassau Castle to-morrow. Please enjoy it! He made a noble courtesy, and presented a roll of wax-sealed parchment, stamped with the coat of arms of the Count von Nassau, presumably an invitation.
Seeing that Han Xing and Roy were actually invited to the earl's dinner, the faces of those "knights" and their barbarian brothers immediately turned green with anger.
As a result, the yellow-skinned monkey looked like he didn't know how to lift up, and he was actually invited to the earl's dinner? Could it be that this Baron Albrecht eats this set? I knew that we were also pretending to be tough guys.
In the end, another guy dressed as a mercenary, wearing rusty chain mail and holding a leather shield, and with a shabby face, also got an invitation.
As for the rest? They were received by the local elders called in by Baron Albrecht, and perhaps Baron Albrecht would reward them with a knighthood at his discretion after their outstanding contributions.
It's really more popular than people! In fact, Han Xing was able to be invited to the earl's dinner, which meant that his canonization as a knight by the earl was already a sure thing, but it was just a process.
Of course, the knights canonized by the earl are much more valuable than the knights canonized by the barons, just like the difference between a prestigious university and a miscellaneous university.
And those "knights" and barbarian giants had to resign themselves to their fate to please the local elder who looked like a 70-year-old and his eyes lit up when he saw money, and took on some chores such as carrying water and chopping wood, building bridges and paving roads, fighting robbers, chasing thieves, and then doing mercenaries, guards, killers, and earning a few extra money.
Actually, this is quite fair, after all, the Baron has a lot of opportunities, how can he have spare time to greet them! It's just that the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment, and more importantly, they feel that people who are inferior to themselves have got what they dreamed of, and their self-esteem has been hit.
In the eyes of envy, jealousy and hatred of everyone, Han Xing, Roy, and the mercenary walked towards the outside of the city under the leadership of Baron Albrecht and the protection of the guards.
