Volume 2 [Dark Tide] Chapter 252 Ignoring
Five minutes ago, Akasha was walking the streets of Kiger Town in a thick fur cloak.
The living in the manor has been taken over by the maids found by Sodrol, so Akasha has begun to focus on "learning the elven script", but there is not much paper in the manor, and in order to record words, she has to go to the town to ask Henry the Fat for help.
Akasha didn't want to trouble Roddy about such a thing, so she asked Henry about Henry's location through Carter - with her current status, everyone should pay attention to such a thing, and when she came to the door of the blacksmith shop in the town, the fat man Henry had already waited here tremblingly for a long time.
"Pastor Akasha, is there anything I need help with?"
He trotted a few steps and came up very courteously to say hello.
Both of them were members of the "Iron Horse Mercenary Group" before, which was the main reason why Akasha came to him, because she felt that it shouldn't be too embarrassing to talk to Henry, but seeing that the fat man who used to talk and laugh was now restrained, Akasha also understood... In the old days, I'm afraid I really can't go back.
She simply didn't say anything else, but took out a delicate money bag and said to Henry: "I need to buy some parchment, but I am not as familiar with the town as you are.
"What does that mean?" Henry was startled by the money bag that Akasha took out, and quickly pushed it back, "Just tell me how much parchment you want, it's completely unnecessary, otherwise Lord Roddy will know that I won't be able to eat and walk around." β
Others don't know what to do, but Henry knows that Akasha and Roddy are very close, although he still hasn't seen anything between the two, but the lonely man and widow are together every day... It's really hard to draw conclusions about this.
Akasha sighed, and after some excuses, she had to put away the money bag. Henry secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and was about to ask Akasha how much parchment she needed, but he didn't expect a strange word to come from behind himβ
"Yo, isn't this Henry, I heard that you went to the Silent Forest to look for death, and you came back alive?"
Such an opening sentence made Akasha, who had a gentle expression, suddenly frown, and Henry closed his mouth even more, he didn't have to look back to know who the other party was...
"What, it's so majestic to be a dog to Leslie?"
Henry turned around, looked at the guy in leather armor in front of him, and said disdainfully: "It's not easy to do things in the Wolverine Mercenary Regiment, I can't imagine how many sycophants you took to change this leather armor, Luke." β
The face of the mercenary named Luke changed, what he was best at was whiskering and slapping horses, and he basically stayed in all the mercenary groups in Kig Town, but he was kicked out without exception after the last - because everyone knew that this thing was useless except for slapping horses.
But now he is wearing the uniform of the Wolverine Mercenary Regiment, and his arrogant speech is obviously due to his origin.
"While you haven't changed the shop yet, let's find something practical to do. Seriously, you're such a thing, and no one will take your lead for you right now," Henry said, but his body moved a few steps, trying to block his vision, "Why don't we make a bet and see how many days you can eat Leslie's salary?" β
These words choked Luke enough, but he obviously didn't come to quarrel with Henry - this thief-eyed mercenary had already noticed Akasha next to him, and at this time he stepped sharply to the side, and immediately shouted: "Our regimental leader has been looking for you for a long time."
Henry chuckled in his heart, and immediately understood what this bastard came from - Leslie's lustful celebrities are well known, before the "Iron Horse Mercenary Group" left the Silent Forest, Akasha used to wear a veil, and she knew that she was a "fugitive" and rarely showed her face, but even so, she was still caught by the glimpse of Leslie because of her bumpy figure...
Now it seems that the mercenary leader is clearly ready to make a move.
The fat man's mind spun quickly, and he almost immediately figured out the pros and cons, and immediately gritted his teeth and made a decision, stepped forward, raised his foot and kicked Luke to the ground, and shouted angrily: "What the are you calling?" β
"You dare to kick me?"
Luke was shocked and angry, clutching his chest and roaring: "The woman that our head has a crush on, no one wants to run, if you dare to stop it, wait for death."
He shouted and tried to get up, and did not forget to say to Akasha "soft and hard": "Captain Leslie has always been very gentle with women, if you go with me obediently, no one will embarrass you." β
Obviously, this mercenary captain doesn't know what a "pickle girl" is, and the methods he uses can really be called simple, brainless and rude.
However, Akasha looked at the other party's ugly face, and the first thing she felt was not "fear"... It's funny.
After participating in several wars and witnessing one miracle after another, Akasha no longer has the slightest sense of the absurd "threat" in front of her - compared to lords like Magda, Ansardine, or Earl Owen, the status of the "Wolverine Mercenary Regiment"... Not enough to see at all.
"The patrol can come to help, Captain Ruger is on duty today."
Henry understood the situation, so he only left Akasha's words, turned around and kicked Luke to the ground for the second time, and said viciously: "Who doesn't know what Leslie's bastard is, you can really open your eyes and tell nonsense"
This kind of quarrel immediately attracted a few "spectators", Akasha stood still and thought about it, and then raised her hand and released a "Holy Light Technique" into the air - Akasha's understanding of "Divine Magic" is much stronger than that of ordinary clergy, and such an improved version of "Holy Light Technique" is enough to be seen β₯ everyone in Kig Town and immediately attract the attention of the patrol.
Luke didn't understand what he was talking about, because he was already confused after being kicked to the ground twice: wasn't Henry always a fat man who could only giggle? How did you become so tough all of a sudden?
However, before the patrol arrived, a team of the "Wolverine Mercenary Regiment" arrived first, and they saw Luke's embarrassment one by one, and immediately drew their swords and surrounded Henry and Akasha.
Luke rolled over, spat bloody spit, and pointed at Henry angrily: "This guy beat me, everyone will beat him to death"
"There's no place for you to talk here."
Deputy Captain Dawei came out of the crowd, and a word silenced Luke. Raising his head, he squinted his eyes and glanced at Henry, then turned his gaze away, stared at Akasha and said, "Miss Kaisha, I heard that the Iron Horse Mercenary Group has been written off, so I represent Leslie, the leader of the Wolverine Mercenary Group... You are always welcome to join. If you want, the treatment and remuneration here are at least three times higher than that of the Iron Horse Mercenary Group, can you consider it? β
Akasha joined the Iron Horse Mercenaries in Kiger under the pseudonym "Kaisha", so Davi still doesn't know that her real name is "Akasha" - and what's behind her... I don't know anything
Obviously, in the eyes of the Wolverine mercenary group, she is just a helpless and weak woman.
Davi's momentum is very strong, there is no doubt about this - his behavior of ignoring Henry invisibly shows his outstanding status, and seeing Akasha being "suppressed", he is even more smug in his heart, and he does not forget to continue indifferently: "Introduce myself, I am the deputy leader of the Wolverine Mercenary Group, Dawei. β
He thought that he would see the other party's awe-inspiring and jealous application next, but Kevi found out... Akasha didn't react at all
Akasha's eyes swept over the self-righteous guys in front of her, and she found that she hadn't even thought about the so-called "countermeasures" in her head, but more about the overview of the "polarized elements" in the book "The Nature of Energy"...
In other words, she didn't subconsciously see these guys as a threat at all.
"Henry, get the parchment I need to the manor as soon as possible."
Akasha said this to Henry, who was standing in front of her, and ignored David's inquiries all the time.
The deputy chief's face froze, and then turned the color of a pig's liverβno one had ever ignored him so much in all his years in Kiger
The fat man next to him laughed, he was originally resentful because of Dawei's contempt for him, but in the blink of an eye, Akasha used the same way to suffocate the other party half to death, this breath was happy
