Chapter 12 Tasks
"Granty, did you make a windfall today?
Let me guess, could it be that you have run into a lose-lose scene, such as the corpse of an adventurer and a dying raging bear?"
Luo Ming walked up and teased her directly.
The two have become acquainted a lot in the past few days, and Granty said that she is a mercenary and adventurer, and often goes into the woods or mines to deal with monsters in exchange for bounties, although if she is unlucky, she can only catch a monster in two or three days.
And the ferocious bear is not only rare, its strength is also comparable to that of an intermediate swordsman, and its skin is rough and thick, and high-level swordsmen are sometimes injured by it, which also makes its fur expensive, and it seems to be able to sell for five gold coins, so Luo Ming asked.
"Well, Ruomin (Luo Ming) Ha......" Granty looked up, her cheeks bulging and the corners of her mouth were stained with oil.
Quickly picked up the bowl and drank the soup before swallowing the food.
I'm afraid she hadn't eaten such good food for several days, and she was so excited that she ate so quickly that she almost choked.
It's really distressing to watch.
β...... Ha. After taking a breath, she answered Luo Ming's question, "I haven't made a fortune yet, and I haven't been so lucky to see the five gold coins lying on the ground......
This is nothing more than a deposit paid by the employer, two gold coins. β
"Oh, that looks like a big task. Luo Ming thought for a moment, there is no deposit for ordinary employment, and if the task fails or simply dies, the employer will not even have to pay a penny.
"Well, it's not an easy task, otherwise why do you think I'd eat so much...... The main thing is to make physical reserves in advance, physical reserves.
The matter of being entrusted with loyalty by others cannot be done in a half-hung state. β
Before he could finish speaking, Grant buried his head again and concentrated on a piece of ribs.
Repeating the word physical reserves, I'm afraid she wants to emphasize that she is not a foodie who eats Hese as soon as she has money, right?
"Yes, of course I understand, if you don't eat two good meals, who will have the strength to go all out?" Luo Ming ordered an ordinary breakfast and sat down in front of Granty.
After Grant wiped the corners of her mouth and the gravy on her plate with bread and ate it, Luo Ming put down her knife and fork and asked, "If it's convenient, can you tell me about this mission?"
"Well, it's not a secret mission, so it's okay to talk about it. β
With that, Grant gave a brief introduction to the mission.
β...... Sounds good, I wonder if I can participate?" Luo Ming asked.
"You're going to participate...... Granty thought for a moment, her eyes flickering, not knowing what she was thinking.
Suddenly, she leaned back, and as soon as she raised her hand, a dark yellow cold light flew towards Luo Ming's head.
Luo Ming tilted his head slightly, and it brushed it aside, flicking a few hairs, bounce off the wall and fall to the ground with a few clanging sounds.
It turned out to be a copper coin, and the force of the throw was small, even if it was hit, it would only hurt at most. Lormine picked it up and gave it back to Granty.
"Good reflexes. With that, Granty smiled and stood up, "It's not convenient here, let's go out and try it." β
"Okay. Luo Ming also stood up, although there was still some left for breakfast, but it was just to cool down after a while.
After walking for a little two, the two of them turned into a small road with no peopleβit was said to be a path, but there were no tables, chairs, benches, and diners in the way, and it was actually much more spacious than the lobby on the first floor of the hotel.
"It's coming!"
Before the reminder, Granty's hand was naturally resting on the hilt of the sword, and the sword was instantly unsheathed.
Although the long sword has no arc, which makes it difficult to easily use tricks such as the Izuhe slash, the moment she pulls out the sword completely, she slashes down with her backhand, which is also very fast.
Whether it's in a face-to-face duel, or when you're unprepared for a surprise attack β or when you surprise someone in front of you, it's a great trick.
Of course, a surprise attack of this magnitude could not hurt Luo Ming, and she herself had confirmed this just now.
However, what would happen if it was a continuous attack? If Luo Ming had used all his strength just now, then now he would only be able to stumble between the sword light, and he would not have a chance to draw his sword at all, until he was forced to a dead end and admit defeat.
That's how her grandfather taught her swordsmanship!
Dodged three swords in a row without striding back, Luo Ming also saw her intentions clearly: to shrink her space for action little by little without hurting others, and finally let herself avoid it and take the initiative to admit defeat.
What a kind girl...... To be honest, since both sides have decided to compete, the sword has no eyes, and it is natural to be mentally prepared for injury, but she still tries her best not to hurt the other party.
It's not much easier to make a sword easier than trying to slash the opponent.
However, this may also imply her confidence in swordsmanship - I can't even break through the swordsmanship I left in my hand, so don't participate in such a dangerous mission, does that mean?
Luo Ming laughed, and as he dodged another sword, he stretched out his finger and tapped it.
With a sound of "dang", Grant felt the hilt of the sword in his hand shake violently, his heart jumped, and he used twelve points of attention to barely return the sword to the right, and slashed away with another sword.
However, this time, while dodging, Luo Ming simply smashed the back of his hand on the spine of the sword.
Originally, the sword was used as a sword after a sword, the former sword prepared for the next sword, and the next sword was generated on the basis of the previous sword. It would have been good if the sword had been prepared for interference, but Grandi was defenseless when he saw that Lockin was empty-handed, and the sword completely deviated from the target.
At this time, she was surprised to find that she had exposed a flaw, and if the other party had a sword in her hand, it was not impossible to take the opportunity to inflict heavy damage on herself.
"Hah!"
She let out a loud shout, twisted the blade of the sword with all her might, and forced the third sword instead of defending with offense.
If the enemy stabbed with a sword just now, he would definitely eat this sword, not to mention the end of the same fate, at least it would be the end of both of them being hit hard, which can be regarded as bringing the disadvantage back to a draw.
Luo Ming's face showed a trace of solemnity, Granty's sword can be regarded as using real kung fu, accurate and ruthless, and it can easily kill an ordinary swordsman.
But she had been disturbed twice in a row before, and her sword momentum was already a little scattered, so she didn't ease up and adjust but continued to launch a rush attack, and there were some flaws after all.
Granty's sword is good, but in the eyes of experts, the posture is a little unnatural, and neither the power nor the center of gravity adjustment is optimal.
And Luo Ming is one of the few people who can see through this shortcoming, and even take advantage of it.
Not to mention the bamboo sword, the junior brothers and sisters have been practicing with real swords and empty-handed themselves, and there have been dozens of times!
