Chapter 41: One against Two
Everyone present laughed at this somewhat funny act, and the elf wiped her tears and introduced herself, and hurried back to the next room.
Henry didn't continue to mention anything about learning martial arts, and seriously introduced the mission of this town to the monk, the border area between the Duchy of Lan and the Odan Empire, the terrain is complex, full of inaccessible primeval forests, swamps, high mountains and deep streams, and has always been a place where all kinds of magical beasts and magical things haunt.
All kinds of adventurers and mercenaries are trying their luck with this town, but the current prosperity is due to the fact that someone issued a mission in the Mercenary Guild a few days ago, offering a reward of 40,000 gold coins, and the task is to obtain an iron book hidden in the swamp near Red Moon Castle.
In contrast to this quest, there is also a map indicating the approximate location. Half a month ago, this quest was released at the same time in the mercenary guilds of several big cities, and it immediately caused a sensation, 40,000 gold coins is a lot of money, enough for people to live a life of extreme luxury for several lifetimes.
Therefore, mercenaries and adventurers from all over the world came here to try their luck, but the risk corresponding to 40,000 gold coins was also huge, and the teams that went in to search in advance were not heard from.
The mercenaries and adventurers who had been seduced by the glow of the gold coins realized the risks represented by this great wealth, and after consulting with each other, several larger teams decided to call on all those who intended to hunt for the treasure to stop for a while, and when all the forces were gathered, they would go into the forest together to find the iron book.
Now that the deadline for action is approaching, everyone is ready. Henry: They are part of it, and they want to try their luck in it as much as everyone else.
However, their strength is relatively weak, and they have no hope at all, so the so-called luck is better to want to see it.
Calculating the time, there are still five days before the day of the action together, and after Henry and the others finished speaking, they all looked at the monk in unison. See what he thinks.
I didn't expect Hui Gang to be embarrassed, five days, there is no money in his hand now, and I am afraid that he will be kicked out by the waiter of the hotel in the afternoon.
The embarrassment was interrupted by the sound of Phil's laughter from next door, and Henry suddenly reacted and stood up generously. He took out the money bag from his bosom and said very proudly:
"Master, please rest assured, I have covered the food and lodging for the past few days. ”
But then Henry's actions were very ridiculous, he took out a bulging money bag from his bosom, carefully counted out ten gold coins from it and handed it to the monk.
The monk felt a little strange, how could Henry, who looked very bold, look so small, maybe he sensed the strangeness of Huigang, the warrior Morton and the thief Stone couldn't help laughing, and the old thief Stone smiled and said:
"The master must think it's very strange, this Henry is a standard money fan, and we are all terrified to see him take out money so generously today."
Hearing the jokes of his companions, Henry looked a little embarrassed, but quickly returned to normal, and said to Hui Gang with confidence:
"Master, money is hard to come by, so we naturally have to be careful with our calculations, do you say? ”
Hui Gang smiled and nodded, this behavior made his perception of Henry a little better, and he didn't hide himself, which was also a manifestation of his true temperament.
Seeing the monk's affirmation, Henry was even more imposing, and began to look forward to completing the task, how to spend the money after getting it, and without saying a few words, he was interrupted by the old thief Stone:
"Mr. Huigang, according to my many years of experience, such a task often represents a great risk, and the silence of the first few teams entering the jungle also shows this, I am too old to help the team, but my young lady and these two young men also hope that Mr. Huigang will give some guidance, so as not to be hurt in the upcoming battle. ”
Henry the swordsman wanted to explain something, but when he saw Morton standing up, he said solemnly to the monk:
"Master, I hope you can guide us in our martial arts," Henry nodded vigorously from the side
Called the elf Jiani, the female mage and Xiao Fei'er next door, and the team went to the training ground in the south of the Red Moon Castle together, because the Red Moon Castle is a place where adventurers and mercenaries gather even on weekdays, and there are adventurers' guilds that have built a practice ground there.
It was still morning at this time, there were not many mercenaries and adventurers on the road, and the monks were quite eye-catching because of the three beautiful ladies in the team, and there were many people turning back along the way, but in this chaotic place, no one wanted to casually associate with unfamiliar people or even provoke them.
However, not all of them pay attention to the beauty of girls, when passing by the location of the Mermaid Mercenary Guild, this guild has already opened, and several people came out of it, and when they saw the monk and his party, they were obviously stunned, and one of them hurriedly turned around and ran in.
But the monk and his party obviously didn't notice this, and talked all the way to the training ground. At this time, there were almost no people in the training ground, and Henry entered the training ground after handing over three silver coins very painfully.
Hui Gang looked at a few people who were moving their bodies in the field, but he was thinking about what the old thief said on the road, the old thief Stone said that he was the servant of the female mage Camilla, this time the female mage came out to practice, and he followed out, that Henry and Morton were friends with Camilla since childhood, and this time they came out together, in addition to Molton's calm personality, Henry and Camilla are children who are not open, which is very headache for him.
The monk can hear from the words just now that the background of these young people is not simple, but the old thief does not mean to remind this, but just let him take care of a few more people or children, thinking of this, the monk sighed secretly in his heart, no matter the past life and this life, it is a penny is a hero.
Hui Gang cleared his thoughts, and said to Henry and Moulton:
"Martial arts, no matter whether they are in the first-class and second-rate, they can't compare to the test in actual combat, Lord Henry, Lord Moulton, use your skills to attack it. ”
Lao Stone is not suitable for close combat, and the elf Jiani's martial arts skills do not need to be apprenticed, as for Camilla and Xiao Fei'er, the monk automatically ignores them.
Although Henry and Morton had seen the power of the monk, they were a little despised and became angry when they heard the monk so straightforward, with his hands empty and no preparations. The two of them glanced at each other, Henry took a wrong step, and slashed at the monk with a big sword, Hui Gang easily dodged, and the swordsman shouted loudly in his mouth, and the big sword danced in the wind, but the monk had almost nothing to dodge, but a sword could not touch the monk.
The monk barely spent any energy, and easily dodged Henry's attack, although it seemed that the big sword was full of power, but in Hui Gang's eyes, it was all flawed.
Morton didn't move all the time, just holding a wooden stick flat, observing the actions of the monk and Henry, his actions naturally fell in the eyes of the monk, and he couldn't help but secretly approve, don't attack rashly when the enemy is unknown, this kind of caution is especially important in killings with casualties at every turn.
Hui Gang deliberately showed a flaw, and Moulton, who was observing on the side, suddenly moved, and used the wooden stick as a spear to poke directly under the monk's ribs.
Henry's big sword swept, Morton's wooden stick pointed straight at his waist, and the monk did not use his internal strength, holy power, and even his huge strength to suppress it to a very low level, so you fought back and forth on the field It was particularly good-looking, and under the attack of Henry and Moulton, his retreat was blocked.
The three girls who had been chatting and laughing on the side were all attracted by this dangerous situation in the field, and seeing that the monk had almost nowhere to avoid, Fei'er covered her mouth and screamed in horror.
Hui Gang suddenly leaned back, his whole body folded up like an arched bridge, the big sword and wooden stick whizzed above, and the female elf Jia Ni over there gasped again, this kind of flexible action can only be done by assassins or thieves, is the monk a thief, his head is confused.
In fact, this action is just the simplest iron plate bridge for the monk when he practiced martial arts in his previous life.
The two people who were caught in the flank obviously didn't expect the monk to make such a move, and they were stunned for a moment. Hui Gang turned over lightly and kicked out with both feet, and Henry and Moulton's weapons suddenly couldn't hold on to them, and they came out of their hands.
As soon as everyone saw that the two men had fallen heavily to the ground, the monk was smiling with the big sword and the stick in his hand.
