Chapter 169: Retreat as Advance

Both sides are trying, and whoever can't hold their breath first will be defeated.

Once a veteran hunter, Huck gradually gained the upper hand in this competition.......

"Huck, give everything for my god, and you will not only be able to gain unimaginable riches, but also immense power. Iruka lowered her voice, her words like a whisper.

Huck was overjoyed when he heard this, but he didn't show the slightest difference.

"I used to be a hunter and believed in the god of the wilderness, Wasok, and I don't change my faith easily. Huck looked "stubborn," and said, "Besides, I don't know what your god is, and why should I believe in him?"

Iruka was a little disliked, but in order to take advantage of Huck, he still calmly persuaded him: "Huck, the god I serve is supreme, as long as the believer is pious enough, he can obtain unimaginable power, and it is definitely not an ethereal existence." ”

As he spoke, a layer of black gas erupted in his right hand, and his entire arm stretched out as if it were boneless, grabbing the half-seated Huck.

Huck sensed something was wrong and wanted to run away, but thinking that he was already injured and couldn't do it too obviously, he screamed that Gu Zuo didn't avoid it, and was grabbed by the ankle by that strange arm.

"You....... What do you want to do?" Huck exclaimed, trying to break free, and just then, he felt like he was being caught and lost consciousness.

"Prove that what I say is true, that you have no choice, and that the gods I serve are incomparably powerful!" Iruka's voice was cold and determined.

"Let me go, if I keep my voice louder, the guards over there will hear me!" Huck threatened.

Iruka snorted coldly, then withdrew his arm and threatened: "My power has corroded your body, and in three days at the latest, you will die of rotting all over your body, neither light magic nor alchemical medicine can heal your injuries." ”

Huck hurriedly rolled to the side, and looked at his ankle by the dim light of an oil lamp in the distance, and saw that there were already signs of festering.

Seeing this, he was shocked: what kind of power is this, so vicious....... He dared to threaten me, maybe he wasn't lying.......!

Iruka looked at Huck and smiled sadly: "Huck, if you don't believe it, you can find a bottle of healing potion and try it yourself, I believe it...... You can make the right choice. ”

With that, Iruka and the other quietly retreated.

Huck hesitated, realizing that this was not the best time to beg for mercy.......

So, he alarmed the guards in the distance.

The guards who were on duty heard his shouts and hurried over.

"Huck, in the middle of the night, you can't be honest!" the guard grumbled slightly.

Huck eagerly explained, "There was a bug just now, and it suddenly bit me, and it seemed to be poisonous....... I'm injured now, and if I get poisoned again, I might die. Can you give me a little healing potion....... In the future, when I go out, I will definitely not forget your kindness!"

"It's ....... But my lord has explained that he can't treat your injuries........" The guards on duty were a little embarrassed.

"You think, I've already entered the third order, and I'm a little capable, and when I go out, at least I can be a squad leader! Now, the garrison officer is angry and wants to punish me heavily, and when she is angry, maybe she will reuse me....... Besides, I just need a little healing potion, as long as the place that prevents the bite of the poisonous insect does not fester. As for whiplashes, I will not waste healing potions to embarrass you!" Huck whispered.

"Ugh....... Okay, okay...... We've known each other for five or six years, and if I didn't say you, why do you have to provoke the garrison officer? She is strict and sympathetic to her subordinates, and our brothers are all happy and convinced! If you continue to make trouble like this, no one will pay attention to you at that time!" When the guard on duty took out the healing potion, he also seriously persuaded a few words.

Huck smiled bitterly and nodded.......

After taking the healing potion, he poured some into the palm of his hand, and returned the rest to the guard on duty. Then, under the watchful eye of the guard on duty, it was applied to the ankle, which was already a little festering.

"Huck, your injuries are not light, wait until tomorrow to quickly admit your mistake to the adults, and when she is dissipated, I will give you some more healing potions to heal other injuries. He was relieved to see that Huck hadn't used the healing potion to heal the other wounds, and turned to leave.

"Understood......." Huck replied, retreating to the haystack and sitting down heavily.

At first, he felt some itching in his ankles, which was a sign that the healing potion was working.

But after a while, he noticed that the signs of ulceration had worsened........

Huck took the initiative to move in the direction of Iruka, through the wooden fence, and said angrily, "Iruka, what did you do, my foot hurt....... How aggravated it. ”

Iruka moved a little distance, and said with a slight meaning: "This is the power of the gods, in a normal way, there is no cure. Huck, if you are willing to join us and serve my God, this wound will be healed. ”

"You're threatening me!" said Huck, dissatisfied.

"No, you have no choice but to die a painful death, or become one of us and harness infinite power!" Iruka felt victorious.

"You....... You give me the ulcer at my ankle first, or how can I trust you!" Huck was cautious.

"Yes!" Iruka immediately responded.

He extended his arm again, grabbed Huck's bare foot again, and after a few breaths, let go.

At this time, the ulcer in Huck's ankle had been significantly relieved, but it was not completely healed.......

"Why haven't you healed all of them, leaving a festering wound the size of a finger?" Huck asked dissatisfiedly after examining it.

"Huck, I won't cure you all until you officially become my companion. And I can tell you in no uncertain terms that the wound left behind is small, but if you don't continue to treat it, you will still die in a month. ”

"You don't trust me, so why should I join you?" Huck softened a lot, though still stubborn.

"Huck, that small wound won't affect your movements for the time being, as long as you cooperate with me, I will guarantee that you will be safe and sound. Iruka whispered.

Huck huffed, and after thinking for a while, he finally nodded: "Okay, I don't want to stay here anyway, as long as I can live, as long as I can live better....... Whoever you play for!"

"Wise choice!" Iruka complimented, then asked, "Earlier, you mentioned that the head of the White family and the head of the HΓ΄te family have visited the new lord one after another, is this ....... Is this true?"

"Of course it's true! I saw it with my own eyes....... And ......." Huck said halfway through his sentence and came to an abrupt end.

"And what?" Iruka couldn't help but ask.

"I don't want to say it....... I haven't gotten anything good yet, so why should I do something for you!" Huck huffed and went back to the haystack and lay down.

Iruka was a little helpless, and gently persuaded: "Huck, I promise, when we leave here, you will get a chance to bless, if....... You are lucky enough that you will enter the Fourth Order and become a great being. ”

"Really...... Huck still didn't quite believe it, so he retreated and said, "Give me money, give me money first, and I'll do things for you....... If there is really any blessing in the future that can allow me to directly enter the fourth order, I will return this money!"

Iruka took a deep breath and patted the man beside him vigorously, "I remember that you also possessed a beautiful gold ring, lend it to me first, and when you get out, I will give you double compensation." ”

The man seemed reluctant, and waited for Iruka to say "um" before reluctantly taking out the ring and handing it to Iruka.

Iruka threw the gold ring to Huck's side and said lightly, "Huck, you should be satisfied this time!"

Huck turned to pick up the gold ring, leaned over to the light and looked at it, and smiled with satisfaction.

"Now, I can tell you the rest - I saw with my own eyes the drunken Baroness of the Hall family being carried into the inner courtyard of the Lord's Palace. I think you should know that the new lord is especially fond of middle-aged women......." Huck smiled unconsciously, all without saying a word.

Iruka gasped and thought quickly.......
