Chapter 45 There is no greater joy in life than to see the enemy suffer
Feeling Goristan's sudden silence, Su Wen knew that even if he didn't say it right, it wouldn't be far behind. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
This female knight, who was full of stupid justice, must have done something stupid in line with his identity, which led to the consequences of her departure from Tridis, and she seemed to be a little lost.
"It's not about you. ”
The silence was finally broken by a cold voice.
No matter how miserable the mess is, when facing Su Wen, Golistan is still as serious as ever.
Then, she quickly put on a straight face and searched Su Wen - there was never anything in the process, because she simply and rudely ordered Su Wen to take out everything on his body and examine them one by one.
Based on past experience, Su Wen knew that the former chief knight would not give up without going through all the pockets on his body, so he had to simply take out all the things on his body to prove his innocence. However, when Su Wen took out the bulging money bag, Goristan looked at him with some suspicion, and when he took out the gorgeous and delicate black card, Goristan suddenly burst out and firmly subdued Su Wen again.
"If we don't know where this thing came from, we'll see you in the Judgment Hall. ”
She said coldly, ignoring that she and Su Wen had become the focus of attention for half the street.
"You can stop in moderation! This is my personal property, are you all robbers with the sword of judgment......" Su Wen was very helpless, of course he knew that his reputation was too bad, so Golistan would think badly no matter what he saw suspiciously. But since she is no longer a Knight of Judgment, and this is still Red Maple Town, her behavior is inevitably a bit excessive.
Perhaps finally realizing this, Goristan let Su Wen go after a brief silence.
That kind of unwilling compromise made Su Wen feel very enjoyable.
"If I meet you again to do dirty things, I will never let you go!"
After dropping a cruel word, Goristan turned his head and walked away with a gloomy face, as if looking at Su Wen more would pollute his eyes.
In the process, Suwen felt a real disgust from this powerful female knight: unlike Laetitia's disgust of not giving up all opportunities to mock herself, Gorystein saw Suwen as if she had seen a bedbug, and either did everything she could to throw him into prison, or because there was not enough evidence to throw him in prison, she had to avoid throwing him away.
Therefore, if Su Wen thinks that Lytidia's poisonous tongue attribute can still be saved, then Su Wen has no hope for Goristan at all. He wished that she would disappear quickly and not disturb his leisure vacation.
As for what happened to her?
Su Wen was not interested in digging deeper, but that didn't mean he couldn't guess. The biggest thing that has happened in the city of Trides in the past hundred years is the undead scourge a few days ago, and only an event of this magnitude will leave a high-ranking knight who can make a name for himself anywhere.
When the Scourge of the Dead was stopped, the price paid by the city of Trides was very heavy, half of the inner city was almost destroyed, and nearly a thousand noble residents were killed and wounded. This incident had been rumored in the surrounding towns as early as the previous few days, and the town of Red Maple, which was almost closest to Tridis, was certainly no exception. Although there are several different versions of the rumors of the incident, many of which conspiracy theorists actually pointed out that the truth of the matter is a natural disaster, but the official "orc spies infiltrated and sabotage" is the most believed statement, and as for the "truth of the matter", it was regarded as a gossip, and was quickly refuted by official arguments and refutations from all sides.
Well, the city lord Einz Du has done a good job of publicity and crisis public relations, and Su Wen must admit it.
And with this incident as a background, the reason why Gorystan left the Sword of Judgment, Su Wen could guess even with the corns on his toes.
Although it is impossible to know the specific process, she must have discovered some clues about the "explosion" in the inner city, and then made up her mind to find out the truth of the matter, and after repeated side warnings, she remained stubborn, and was finally transferred to another city as a chengguan by a paper order - yes, the government of the Duolun Empire could not be stupid enough to dismiss an excellent high-ranking knight because of such a thing, and Su Wen could guarantee that more than ninety percent of Goristan might have left his job in anger.
Combined with the previous analysis, coupled with the absent-mindedness and confusion that was initially read in the eyes of Gollistan, it is clear that the female knight, who has not long since left her job, has fallen into a low point in her life, and has become suspicious of the official Tridis City of her allegiance.
Su Wen knew that this kind of stupid goose who took justice as his own responsibility liked to make this kind of mistake the most, and watching the strong conflict between Goristan's faith and reality, coupled with the confusion and helplessness of the unknown future, Su Wen didn't know why he was in a particularly comfortable mood.
As for helping her?
No kidding, Su Wen is not the kind of person who repays grievances with virtue, and he almost didn't laugh out loud when he saw Goristan fall into such a situation. What's more, even if Su Wen has the heart to give a few words, with Goristan's impression of himself, he is destined to have a hot face and a cold ass.
In Su Wen's distant sight, the back of Goristan who was fading away was very tough, no matter how lost her soul was, her waist was always straight. She didn't disappear at the end of the street, but returned to the vicinity of the mercenary union, seemingly hesitating for a long time, and finally bowed her head and stepped on the steps in front of the guild gate.
"Interesting, has the high-ranking knight been reduced to a registered mercenary to make money?"
Looking at the back figure that disappeared behind the gate, Su Wen touched his chin, as if talking to himself.
"It's not a bad thing, the world is much more complicated than you think, look at it well, study hard, maybe you won't be stupid next time. ”
He then loses interest in Gollistan and drags his wet clothes and leaves.
......
Although the town of Red Maple is small due to its terrain, not even one-twentieth the size of Tridis, as a transportation link between the two cities and a dozen villages, the town in the mountains is quite prosperous in economy and trade - but not enough to carve out the underworld, of course.
But even so, the above-ground market cluster is still huge. Su Wen hadn't been out much these days, so he didn't know much about it, so he was taken aback when he walked to the market area, and even wondered if he was actually in the city.
The central bazaar of Red Maple Town is well-connected and full of people and carriages, but due to demand, the goods sold here are relatively simple, and there are no entertainment venues, except for inns and taverns. However, for Su Wen, who happened to have not purchased supplies yet, it was just right to take advantage of this time to buy some things that he would use for future travels, so he felt that he had come to the right place.
In Su Wen's original plan, there was a huge wasteland in the north and south of Dorok Province, and he planned to rush there first, and then officially start the mercenary journey. During the three-month long vacation, Su Wen allocated almost half of his time there, but the plan couldn't catch up with the changes after all, since he was lucky enough to take on the mercenary mission in Red Maple Town, he might as well take this opportunity to hone himself first.
When he made this decision, Su Wen had already looked through the equipment he had in hand in a weapon shop.
Su Wen is really not good at swords and other weapons, and of course it is no problem to catch and chop such simple things, but he can't expect to play any tricks at all. Therefore, except for the dagger or the short knife, all the other melee weapons he can choose are more decorative than actual combat.
"The young man has a good eye, this dagger uses a high concentration of alchemy venom when it is quenched, so even if it is used directly, it can cause a slight paralyzing effect. It's certainly not as good as the enchanted one, but if you only consider the price of 20 gold coins, it's definitely worth the price. Seeing that Su Wen's attention was fixed on a dark gray leaf-like dagger, the shopkeeper with two mustaches enthusiastically introduced him.
The corners of Su Wen's mouth twitched, it was the first time he had heard that quenching with poison would have this function.
Picking up this dagger that looked full of danger, Su Wen touched the tip of the blade that was sharpened very sharply, although he did feel a faint sense of paralysis, but the identification results given by the system said it all: "The paralyzing quenched poison dagger is of low quality, with a physical attack power of 2-6, a very low equipment strength, a high attack speed, and the requirements for use are: none." Enchantment: None. Note, the fast-acting paralyzing toxin applied temporarily will evaporate after 5 days. ”
Can this kind of broken copper and iron be sold for 20 gold coins......
Ignoring the earnest recommendation of the old version of the weapon shop, Su Wen dropped the dagger and left the weapon shop. But after shopping around the shops, he realized that the dagger was quite polite.
Maybe he thinks Su Wen is like a rookie who has just debuted, and the products recommended by the owners of various shops are more and more pitted: there are daggers made of two colors of pig iron that are said to be sandwiched steel, there are elven daggers that are all hollowed out at a high price, and there are synthetic crystals that are inlaid with similar gems on the daggers and then disguised as enchanted daggers with a price tag of 100 gold coins...... Su Wen felt that if he changed someone here, he might be deceived, because if it weren't for the automatic identification function of the system, he really didn't dare to guarantee that he would be able to see through these tricks.
Until the end, when the system prompt for the completion of the daily mission sounded, Su Wen, who had visited most of the market, failed to find a weapon that satisfied him, but bought a decent leather armor at the stall, as well as a small amount of dry food and hemostatic medicine. This is not because Su Wen is too picky, for the choice of daggers, Su Wen attaches great importance to the "weapon strength" identified by the system, attack power or something is secondary, but not just daggers, he always feels that all the weapons here are compared with the qualified ones in his impression, both hardness and toughness are a little worse.
If this is the case with one or two companies, Su Wen can still think that it is an unscrupulous store that cheats money, but if this is generally the case, then ......
"The forging technology of the Brilliant Continent is actually not very mature?"
Su Wen thought suspiciously, but then denied it.
After thousands of years of development of cold weapons, it is impossible to say that they are immature, and Su Wen has seen no shortage of high-strength weapons that are as sharp as clay, such as the short knife in the test ground of the mercenary union is quite good.
So, what you see in the arms market is either that the shops here are all pit goods, or that the mature forging technology cannot be popularized to the lowest level?
With this in mind, Su Wen entered a new shop.
"Boss, show me your best dagger here. ”
This time, he didn't wait for the other party's recommendation, but shouted directly.
