24 Shak the Archer

Even so, there are still some expectations in people's hearts, after all, they are picked up for nothing, and how much can they be worth, how much is it worth.

Shak, the archer, caught another sapphire and played with it in his hand, when his body suddenly shook, as if he had found something unusual, his eyes were shocked, and then he immediately closed his eyes.

The people nearby were already looking at Shak, and when they found this situation, they stared at the sapphire in his hand without blinking.

After a long while, Xia Ke opened his eyes with complicated eyes, then glanced at his companions around him, and then said with a serious face: "Guys, we may be caught in a whirlpool of conspiracy, this gem is not ordinary, it may make us rich, or it may make us irreversible, death is a luxury." ”

Shak's words did not make the other people feel frightened, but instead stimulated their curiosity.

What is it, or what is it, that makes Shak, the archer who is not afraid of the sky and the earth, show such a solemn expression.

The people present, no one spoke.

Shak's eyes were extremely sharp, staring at his companions nearby like staring at a group of prey, the light in his eyes was very sharp, he didn't dare to look at him, and then said slowly: "You still have one last chance, that is, leave directly from now on, don't tell anyone about this, if we die, if you can, collect the body for us." We've made a fortune, and we'll never forget you. How? Does anyone want to quit?"

"Big brother, what do we still don't know? How do you decide? Why don't you tell the matter, and the big guy analyzes and analyzes it together. A simple middle-aged man, with a thick waist and a delicate mind, was unwilling to give up this opportunity, but he was even more unwilling to step into the trap at will and lose his life, so he spoke.

Shak, the archer, glanced at him, threw the sapphire on the table, and then said slowly: "If you want to know the truth of the matter, pick it up, hold it in the palm of your hand, and see if you can see the truth of the matter." I would like to remind you that once you hold the stone, you are automatically joining our small collective, and whether you choose to join us or not, you will be considered to have joined. Whether you see something or understand something, you should never speak and give out unnecessary information until everyone else has touched it. ”

"Having said so much, in the end I don't want to touch this thing, I want to see, it's okay to play with him just now? Why is there something now, let me take a look first, what is going on?" A hairy young man, most convinced of the archer Shak, because Shak had saved him once, and spoke quickly, knowing from his heart that Shak would not easily harm them, so after speaking, he reached out and grabbed the sapphire in his hand.

Just clasped in his hand, the young man closed his eyes, as if trying to feel something.

The other personnel in the vicinity also stared at him with embarrassed eyes, trying to see what was going on with him.

"Sleep." The young man suddenly exclaimed, and then his eyes widened, and with great excitement, he said again and again: "We're going to get rich, we're going to get rich, maybe we can get out of here." ”

"Shut up!" shouted Shak, the archer.

The young man was startled, knowing that he shouldn't have said it, and quickly covered his mouth with both hands.

But the excitement in his eyes could no longer be hidden, and he squeezed his eyebrows at other people.

It seems to encourage them to quickly wipe the sapphire and then say all the words and thoughts they have prepared.

"Since the little ones feel that this is a good thing, don't hesitate, the big guys are a group, what are the things we fight together, what will I see?" said an experienced old hunter as the oldest in the group, while reaching out and grabbing the sapphire on the table, holding it with both hands, a stream of information spread out from the sapphire.

His body shook, his eyes burst out, and his fierce eyes were not much better than the archer Shak.

However, like Shak, he quickly closed his eyes, did not reveal any of his thoughts, quietly understood the information transmitted from the sapphire, and then opened his eyes, his face was extremely flat, and no expression was revealed, and then he looked at Shak, and said in a somewhat complicated tone: "It is indeed a good thing, but if it is not handled well, a good thing becomes a bad thing." Hehehe, don't look at me, it's impossible for me to say it. Let's follow Shak's old rules, touch it, and know the basic information before we can continue to talk. After all, what you know is what you know, and what you don't know, I said that you don't know anything. ”

Since the oldest and most stable old hunter in the team all spoke like this, the others, after knowing that there was no danger to their lives, also grabbed the sapphires in their hands one by one, and then they felt the information transmitted from the gems, and their bodies shook.

Some people looked panicked and were about to shout to report to the village chief, but they were held down by their companions.

Some people look ecstatic, and like young people, they think they see great wealth and opportunity.

Some people look worried, thinking that this matter is too risky, and if they are not careful, they will be besieged and burned to death.

"Now that everyone knows, let's talk, shall we?" said the middle-aged man with a calm face.

"I think this is an opportunity for us?" said the only two young people in the team, who are still very young and active.

"Oh, what do you think, talk. To be honest, I was just planning to use this thing at the beginning, engage in transportation, and make a little fortune in secret, but you can talk about your own thoughts, maybe even further than we big brothers think. Shak said slowly with a smile.

"Why are we alive here, with this thing, we can transport not only things, but also people. I have heard that we have the worst conditions here, and in this place, people live in towns and towns, and people there, as long as they are willing to work, they can survive, even if they are handicapped, they can get a piece of food in the almshouse of the church, and they will never starve to death.

We have hands and feet, and if we are in other places, we may not be able to live better than here, and we don't have to worry about the beast tide that may break out at any time. Now that we have the conditions, why don't we leave here and jump out of this pit, but continue to suffer here. I'm not afraid of hardship, but I don't want to be like my father, who has worked hard all his life and complained, and in the end the monster was captured and he didn't have a whole corpse when he died. The young man said with some excitement in his tone.

"You know a, little bunny. Do you know what it means to be high and thick? Do you know what the judgment stake of the God of Light is? Do you know what an evil sorcerer is? Once a sorcerer is known, he will definitely be beaten to death or burned to death, and you dare to participate in this kind of thing, and your whole family will not be enough to fill it. What a muddy boy who doesn't understand anything. "A man who had just received the information from the sapphire and wanted to shout because of fear and excitement was pressed down by someone at this moment when he heard the words of the young man and pointed at his nose and cursed.

"Old fellow, you are a coward, what god of light, what kind of burn at the stake, your whole family is going to be burned to death. Not to be outdone, the young man sneered at each other.

"Well, don't talk about it. Shak the archer said, with majesty in his voice and a peculiar tremor that made people's hearts tremble, and they stopped arguing and swearing.

At this time, the old hunter, who was experienced and had reached the grade, asked the archer Shak, "You only came to us five years ago, and you must be very knowledgeable about things outside, can you tell us about things outside." Especially the so-called God of Light and the Holy See priests, as well as the so-called burning at the stake and the affairs of the sorcerers. ”

Shak, the archer, listened to the words, with a trace of pain and a hint of nostalgia in his eyes, looked at the wooden ceiling above his head, and then began to speak slowly: "I used to be a vassal of a lord, my father was a vassal, and my grandfather was a vassal. After three generations of hard work, our family went from being a noble lord to becoming a vassal, and was counted as a high-class family squeezed into a noble town.

Because my father was a vassal, when I was a child, I entered the lord's house, served as an attendant, and then trained in martial arts, because of my talent, I was specially trained to be a marksman.

I used to have a happy family, father, mother, grandfather, grandmother, maternal grandfather, maternal grandmother, and many brothers and sisters, and we were loyal to the Lord, going out hunting in groups, following the noble ladies to keep them safe, following the knights, killing monsters, and destroying enemies.

There was no danger to my life, and there was no fear of survival, and my greatest wish at that time was that in this life, I could become the best vassal under the lord, manage a huge village, and maybe even marry a house maid who was trained by the noble lady herself.

These indoor maids were originally given to apprentice knights and noble lords, each of whom was not only good-looking, but also had a good relationship, a sophisticated person, and a knowledge and wisdom different from ordinary people, enough to support a noble family. If we can marry a maid in the house, then it is definitely the glory of our ancestors.

However, all this good life was completely dissipated with a disaster. Our sovereign was implicated and involved in a conspiracy of sorcerers, and the sovereign of my sovereign kept a sorcerer in captivity without authorization, and was discovered by the Holy See, and the inquisition of the church caught the sorcerer, and also determined the behavior of the nobles in captivity.

But the sovereign of our sovereign is powerful, not only has a strong in-law relationship in the entire kingdom, but also has a huge latent power even in the Holy See, and is a veritable great noble.

I'm sorry I can't name this great nobleman, otherwise it will be a disaster for you to say it inadvertently in the future.

This great nobleman paid a large amount of fines and pushed my lord out as a substitute for the dead, and we, the vassals who followed the lord, were also punished, and my parents and relatives, all of whom became sinners, were sent to the Eastern Lords Alliance in batches.

Originally, we still had a chance to make a comeback, but after entering here, when we didn't enter the main city of the local city-state, we encountered a small beast tide on the way. I ran away to stay alive, came here, and then met you, and that's how it happened.

I must remind you that in the area of the Eastern Lords' Alliance, because there are no churches and priests here, let alone paladins and paladins, some villages have some witchcraft power, and no one cares about it anyway.

But outside the Eastern Lords' Alliance area, except for some remote mountain and forest strongholds, the clergy of the Holy See are involved in all aspects, once they find any trace of a wizard, they will be traced to the end, and anyone who has anything to do with a wizard will be severely tortured or burned at the stake. ”

"That's right, if we go out, once we leave the area of the Eastern Lords Alliance, we will definitely be discovered by the holy knights and priests, and once they find out our identity, we will die. The great nobles still have to succumb to the power of the church, with our strength, once discovered, it is definitely a dead end, I propose, it is better for us to stay here and develop, even if life is a little harder, but here, we will live better. The young old man, who had just spoken out of his mouth, immediately spoke.

No one spoke, they were waiting for the arrangement of the archer Shak.

Xia Ke pondered for a moment, and then said with a firm attitude: "The area of the East Road Lord Alliance must be left. ”

As soon as he said this, some people immediately changed their eyes, and some people immediately smiled.

Shak quickly glanced at all the companions nearby, and then said, "Didn't you notice? Why did we pick up this gem, why did we not only gain all kinds of knowledge and witchcraft from it when we touched it? What would have happened if we hadn't concealed it during the day, but handed it over, or let all of us touch it?"

"You're saying that someone deliberately threw us here and turned us into a wizard. Our deliberately selected experimental mice?" said the experienced old hunter slowly.

"Let's just throw him away, get on with it, and go on with our lives. Another man, who was already very afraid of wizards, spoke.

"Are you sure you'll survive if you reject a wizard?" are you sure that other wizards will be indifferent to our rejection?" said Shak, smiling.

"Maybe we should test it first?" said the seasoned old hunter.

Shak pondered, then spoke, "No. Whether we have obtained the power of witchcraft by chance, or have been chosen, we have no way out, and I should grasp this power, whether it is luck or being chosen as a test subject, we must take the initiative and use it for us. ”

"What about the specific plan?" said the middle-aged man.

"We have all touched this sapphire, according to the above information, we are now considered a low-level wizard, so let's see if this so-called white bone sand sculpture spell really works. Shak, the archer, said.
