Chapter 17: Recent Developments in Zenda

A week has passed since the bloody battle with the pilgrims in the valley of Drechsi, and we have returned to the "Happy Boar" tavern in Zenda. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 As always, Suke was busy preparing food for everyone, the mercenaries were wiping their weapons and waiting for the work to come to the door, and the three fighters were still sitting in their old seats, the only change was that a wanted notice from the Nord Kingdom was posted on the wall.

A messenger pushed open the door and came to the counter, informed of the imminent return of Count Arassis, and invited the upper echelons of Zenda to a banquet in the Earl's palace in the evening, and Suk had to serve the food.

After sending off the messenger, Suke shouted at the staircase: "Count Arassis of the mercenary group is coming back, if you want to report the discovery to him, do it as soon as possible!"

There was the sound of hurried footsteps on the stairs, and the guard walked down the stairs to the hall, looked around hurriedly, and came to the counter.

"Suke, thank you for informing me, but I can't find anyone else, do you know where they are?"

"Maitreya had gone to Robin early in the morning with the strange hedron he had found from the pilgrim's den, the horse thief was training with Kai, and Victor and Polislavi were leading a force of bounty hunters to capture a dangerous pirate......"

Knowing the whereabouts of the others, Shibei asked puzzledly, "Pirates?"

Sook pointed to the wanted notice on the wall, and saw a man with a meaty face painted on the parchment, his shawl and thick beard identical to the tea born of a horse thief, but the man was obviously much larger.

"That's that guy, the leader of a group called the Goshawk Pirates, and the backstage of the Youhe Water Bandits, and often deals with the bandits......"

Ten Guards suddenly realized and speculated, "Then as long as we catch him, our bounty mission will be almost the same, right?"

"Yes, the current situation is very urgent, since you last took out the nest of the dark cultists, there are many dark cultists on the mainland, and most of the places in Ryordian, Rhodok, Kugit and Vigia are not qualified to intervene. ”

"Obviously, there is nothing we can do to change the status quo on our own, so we can only let Count Arassis decide first......"

After talking for a while, Jubei got the news he needed and left the tavern for the town square......

On this day, the townspeople were still scattered around the town as usual, and he wandered around for a while, and found Natsuhiko and Xiao Yi talking in the garden in the center of the town......

"I said I don't know, this question gives me a headache......" Xia Yan seemed irritable.

Xiao Yi insisted on his answer on the grounds of "I want to test Brother Xia Yan", and repeated the question just now, asking: "There is a farmer uncle in Coolum Town who passed away, leaving seventeen cows for his three sons, and in the will it says that these cows 'half belong to the eldest brother, one-third belong to the second child, and one-ninth belong to the third child', can Brother Xia Yan accurately divide them?"

Natsuhiko, who was confused, saw the ten guards coming, hurriedly ran over, handed Xiao Yi's question to him as if he had seen a savior, and hurriedly ran across the flower garden towards the blacksmith shop.

"Math stupid, it's not that hard...... Give the eldest nine cows, the second six cows, and the rest to the third......" The ten guards easily finished dividing it without much brainpower, only to see Xiao Yi nodding vigorously there.

"That's it! I'm going to tell you a few little secrets of Zenda......

"I really don't want to know anything at the moment, next time......" Seeing that Xia Yan had already run away, Shibei didn't plan to spend it with Xiao Yi, so he hurriedly said goodbye and chased after him.

In the blacksmith shop, Xia Yan handed over a very strange-looking spar to Fat Robin......

"Is this a fire crystal......

Fat Robin took a closer look and replied: "Although it's not my original piece, but this is also a fire crystal, how did you find it?"

He seemed to be very interested in the origin of the fire crystal, but Xia Yan was very jealous of the origin of the fire crystal, and when the ten guards arrived, he glanced at the ten guards.

"This was found under the stake of the dark cultists, and I am afraid it is the final crystallization of those who were burned to death...... "Ten Guards told him the origin of the hedron on his behalf, and saw that Fat Robin's face was gradually becoming difficult to see.

"It seems that the dragon flame is just a rumor, but I didn't expect this fire crystal to be the crystallization of the evil in the world...... Forget it, I should fulfill my promise to use it to forge weapons for you......"

"How many weapons can be forged into this piece alone?" asked Natsuhiko.

Fat Robin continued to observe the fire crystal in his hand, and after sorting out its size, mass, density, etc., he replied: "I said that this is a crystal, and the value of this piece is far higher than the one I lost, and it only needs to be disassembled with a tool, and after mixing it with the metal strips in the furnace, you can forge a dozen weapons." ”

"When will it be completed, I need a weapon now......" Since he didn't have a proper weapon at hand, Natsuhiko planned to find out when it could be completed first.

Fat Robin thought for a moment and replied, "Let's wait until after Count Arassis's banquet, tell me first, what weapons do you need, you can only forge ten weapons." ”

Xia Yan counted the current use of weapons by his partners, but still prioritized his own weapons, and said: "I need three katanas, namely the Iai sword, the Tai sword, and the steel sword, and then forge a long sword for Victor, and White needs a steel spear......"

When the ten guards heard this, they hurriedly added: "Give Mo Cha a long knife." ”

Fat Robin made a note and replied, "That's all, I'll start work after today's banquet, and I can pick up the goods tomorrow!"

After receiving an accurate answer, the two of them said goodbye to Fat Robin and walked towards the Colosseum, ready to meet the tea......

In Instructor Kai's gladiatorial arena, Mo Mocha was doing some super-intense training, and after lifting the stone mortar a hundred times, sweat had already soaked through his cloth, and his long dark brown hair was constantly dripping with sweat. But before he could catch a few breaths, he grabbed another wooden knife and faced ten high-level fighters from the arena at the same time, and fully displayed his sophisticated sword skills in the duel.

"Why is this guy working so hard?" said Ten Guards found Kai and asked him about the tea.

"If he really is the legendary thief Tristan, then martial arts are one of his strengths, and he is only trying to hone his long-abandoned skills to what they once were. Kai answered the questions of the Ten Guards, greeted Xia Yan again, and motioned for the two of them to follow, and the three of them walked to the training ground together.
