Chapter 22: Meeting

There are no holiday cottages on the other side of the lake, and the landing site here in Forborg is in the middle of nowhere, and in the middle of the lush reeds on the lake's edge is a fisherman's hut built on the water, and the Hidden Hunter II slows down and quietly docks directly below it. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Salian opened the lid at the top of the hut and climbed out first, it turned out that there was also a secret door at the bottom of the angler's hut, which could be opened from below, and after observing that no one was paying attention around, Salian jumped into the hut, and there was a seemingly ordinary old man waiting there.

Seeing Salian appear, he said in surprise: "Young master, you are here, I have prepared the horses and carriage." ”

It turned out that this old man was the secret agent of the Hohenstlingen family in Forlburg, and according to the prior agreement, he came to the angler's hut today to meet Salian and his party.

After Salion, everyone went up to the angler's hut. After a short rest here they would change into the horses and wagons prepared by the old man and continue on their way, pretending to have arrived at Fort Alborg by normal overland.

"Everyone, pay attention, now start to remember your identity, we have arrived at the territory of the Altenburg Grand Convention Cerf, you must be careful when you speak!"

The girls all nodded in agreement.

Salian also put on makeup, put on a black and gray wig that he had prepared in advance, eyebrows and mustache of the same color, and finally pressed a realistic hooked nose, which made him look much older. These things were the work of his sister, Miss Evangelin, and were not only sturdy and durable, but also guaranteed to be indiscriminate. Yulia was much simpler, directly mirroring her face in water magic to resemble her mother's youthful appearance. Teresa became a powerless mage apprentice using camouflage and magic items given to her by Salian.

When it was time to get dressed, Anna said to everyone, "It's almost lunchtime, I'm going to take everyone to the bubbly apple bar here! I used to drink it when my dad and I came here to compete, and it tasted very good, and the donuts were also very good." ”

"Yes, yes, but beware of the Rokenhausen and Ruger agents, who are their industrial strongholders and must be closely monitored. ”

Led by Anna's acquaintance, they arrived at the most famous tavern in Forlburg, the "Green Corolla", which was small but prosperous. The boss was a kind middle-aged man, and when he saw the arrival of Anna and his party, he took the initiative to greet him.

When he saw Anna clearly, he was surprised and said, "Well, are you Miss von Celine Falst?"

"Oh, boss, you recognize me!"

"Of course, you and your father, His Excellency Earl von Celine Fiter, stayed in my shop, and later won the Knights' Tour championship here. I've even been there to cheer you on!haha, I'm a big fan of yours!"

"yes, am I so famous?"

"You're the star of the knighthood, the first female junior champion in the junior division. Why are you here at this time, it's still early for this year's competition?"

Anna said to the boss according to the words prepared in advance: "Hehe, no way, I want to order a new set of armor for future adult competitions." I've always heard that the Rockenhausen family makes very good plate armor, and I took the gold coins I won in the last few years to see if I could buy them. ”

"Hehe, then you have come to the right place, the eldest son of our Grand Duke is a world-famous armor genius, but I heard that there has been a joint venture with the Ruger family recently, and it seems that the management is very strict. ”

While Anna was chatting with her boss, Salian noticed that someone in the lobby was watching them. This man was very young, probably only about thirteen or fourteen years old, but he had a pair of eagle-like sharp eyes, an extraordinary bearing, a slightly protruding chin, and although he was dressed simply, he could see that the workmanship was excellent. Salian noticed that the corners of the young man's mouth moved slightly at the mention of armor.

There were also two middle-aged people at the table with him, who looked like they should be young people's guards. A tall man with obvious characteristics of the Laplands of the Northern Kingdom, with strange braids and an eagle-shaped double-sided axe by his side, Salian noticed that the axe was made from the face to the handle of the axe, and it must have been very heavy to start. The other was short, sturdy, sharp-eyed, with a short spear at the foot of the table on one side.

"Prepare me a table of the specialties and sparkling cider, and I have invited my neighbors, Miss Alice (Estherfaria) and Miss Alaya (Teresa), to accompany me to buy armor, as well as my bodyguard and maid, five in all. In addition, we fed our horses with fodder and water, and washed their necks with warm wine, you know, we have traveled a lot today. My Nightmare Beast doesn't have to take care of it too much, you arranged it well the last time you came, just give it a separate porch. Anna said and gave the boss two gold florins.

"Of course, your request will come true right away. ”

While everyone was drinking and chatting, Salian saw that the three guests at the table just now got up to pay the bill and left, and he felt that these people must be unusual, so he left the table and talked to the boss. It's a pity that the boss doesn't know them, only that they have sometimes come here for dinner since the last two months, and according to the boss's estimation, it may be a new little nobleman, and for the well-informed tavern owner, it can be seen from the temperament of his gestures. Since there was no information available, Salian didn't ask any more.

After a pleasant lunch, Salian and the others continued on their way, and although the armor workshop from the city to the suburbs was a mountain road, the distance was short, about twenty minutes.

But halfway through, they encountered an unexpected incident. A group of about thirty people, dressed in shabby clothes, besieged the three guests they had just met in the hotel on the main road. Forced Salian and his party to stop far away and watch from behind.

Anna said to Salian with some eagerness: "Salian, the people in front of you seem to have encountered a bandit, do you want to go up and help?"

"Don't worry, you see that although these people are dressed in tatters, they are very well armed, not like ordinary bandits. There may be something else hidden, but let's take a look at the situation first. ”

Miss Witt, who is quite knowledgeable, also said: "Friend Anna, real bandits do not haunt such military towns, and they do not use the various weapons of ordinary bandits, I guess they are all assassins in disguise." ”

"Oh, did we run into some conspiracy?"

Salian said as he observed: "It is very likely that the younger of the three besieged people is not skilled in martial arts, and judging from the aura he emitted, he is a terrifying knight, but unfortunately his Tutonian short stick skills are far from enough, and he basically has no experience in fighting enemies. Although the other two guard-like characters are strong in martial arts, their opponents are numerous and powerful, and all of them are hard-handed, and they have gradually shown their defeat. ”

"Salian, you see that the three of them have been divided and surrounded, this group of people is really powerful, they must be prepared. Miss Witt noticed that the three men were almost unable to hold on.

"Anna, since you are also a horror knight, you and I will go up and help, pay attention to the strength of four of them is not below you and me. ”

"Yulia, you accompany Miss Witt and Miss Teresa to hide in the carriage, don't show your strength for the time being, I will call you again if there is a problem. ”

"Okay, Salian, I can't wait, haha!"

"Knowing brother, don't worry!"

Anna, who had been waiting for a long time, pulled out the thin sword she was wearing, and rode the nightmare beast into the crowd like a dragon, these people obviously didn't expect someone to come to help so soon, but after they were well-trained, they immediately adjusted their formation and assigned people to deal with Anna specifically. One of the masked halberders was even more powerful, so Anna didn't bargain for anything.

Salian leisurely dismounted and removed the two-handed sword from the saddle, untying the animal skin used as a scabbard, although the sword was not his favorite flame-shaped sword, but the serrated sword with a parry hook in front of him was also a unique masterpiece, as the final form of the king of the era of cold weapons, the imperial two-handed sword was the symbol of the Tutonian mercenary.

Salian, who was holding a sword, saw the opportunity, and when a fake thief was about to stab the young man with his handguard, Salian suddenly cut into the battle and separated his attack with his two-handed sword, and then shouted to the young man: "You retreat to your two guards, and I will open the passage for you!"

Without waiting for him to answer, Salian brandished his two-handed sword and used the "Blade Whirlwind" to force back several enemies around him, who did not expect that there would be someone to help, and for a while, he was unable to distinguish between them, but succeeded in allowing Salian to open a path and join the young man with his two guards. In this way, his safety is temporarily guaranteed.

The masked man was obviously very resentful of Salian who had done his good deeds, and he left Anna and went straight to Salian, although his heart was full of anger, but he still made a move, and Salian knew that he had met an opponent today.

As soon as they fought, under this person's fierce offensive, Salian could only take a defensive position, looking very embarrassed. It turned out that he had been fooled, and some preconceived ideas that he could deal with this person by using the tricks against the halberd, but although the opponent held the halberd, he used all the moves of the four-cornered stick. This caught Salian off guard, so he fell behind. It seems that our protagonist still has a lot to improve.。

The four-cornered stick is the representative weapon of the plain kingdom on Sanwang Island, and is boasted by the long-eared people as the strongest individual weapon, and few people on the mainland use it. Fortunately, Salian's father had fought against the Long-eared people, and he had left a way to fight against the four-horned stick.

"Guy with a hidden head and tail, it seems that you are a long-eared clan of the Plains Kingdom, but it's a pity that you met me, it seems that your assassination mission today will not be completed, hum!"

"Boy, nosy is dead. The man said in a strange voice.

Now that he has seen through it, he used the mystery of the four-cornered stick "St. George style" to attack Salian from top to bottom, but it is a pity that Salian, who has seen through his routine, did not dodge the attack with this imaginary horizontal step, but adhered to the principle of seizing the initiative by the imperial sword god Richardner, and used the same offensive "angry attack" as the "St. George style". When their weapons intersected, Salian sensed the opponent's strength with his listening sword, and found that it was just a false move, so he crossed his steps and dodged the change of his back hand, and at the same time the two-handed sword changed to a "roof" response, and pushed away the halberd with a strong sword body, and then held the sheath with his left hand and stabbed the opponent with a half-handed sword position, and the masked man immediately withdrew his halberd to use the upper defense. He was secretly frightened, this young mercenary's combat skills were so exquisite, he could compete with him as one of the six masters of the Plains Kingdom, it seemed that he would not be able to deal with this young man without using his strongest strength, he deliberately suppressed his strength just now in order not to reveal his identity.

Just when Salian and the masked man were going back and forth and fighting fiercely, the morale of the two guards who had dropped sharply was also boosted because of the help of two masters. One of them holding an eagle-shaped double-sided axe suddenly shouted, his eyes emitted a flame-like red light, and the muscles around his body instantly swelled extremely, it turned out that he was a berserker who relied on increasing his **** ketone content to obtain strong combat effectiveness in a short period of time. I saw him swing a double-sided axe frantically, and split the few bandits who dared to block him in front of him, along with people and weapons, and in an instant, blood splashed, and the stumps and broken arms were scattered all over the ground, and then he was covered in blood and rampage, the bandits were irresistible, and the formation was chaotic.

The masked leader found that the situation was getting more and more unfavorable, and when the regular reinforcements of the young men arrived, they would never have a chance. As a last resort, he also screamed, on the one hand, to increase his strength, and on the other hand, he was also calling his companions.
