Chapter 60: A Covenant Between Men
In the bumpy mountain road, a horse-drawn carriage was moving slowly. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
"Lord Bishop, why should we give up all the chips we have won, with them, our Taoism can grow even stronger. ”
It was Rod and his party in the carriage, and Arudiba was looking at Rod with a puzzled expression.
It turned out that although the Dou Qi cultivation of people who took the Overlord Body Pill would skyrocket, their spiritual power would become extremely weak, and after Rod advanced to the peak of the second order, the power of the soul judgment increased even more, so Rod defeated Garcia with just one move.
However, after his victory, Rhodes not only treated Garcia with rejuvenation, but also voluntarily gave up the chips he had won from the two fights and returned them to the Hercules.
"Daozu is on top, and there must be a glimmer of life in doing things, since we already have a harvest of four million on the handicap, don't care about the gains and losses in the gambling fight. ”
Rod said with a smile.
"We don't need to stay like this, at least we can accept the 500,000 silver coins. ”
Arudiba said with a pained face,
"500,000 silver coins, how many beef legs can you buy. ”
Rhodes smiled and didn't say anything, in fact, he was touched by Garcia's behavior, and he also learned about Hercules afterwards.
It turned out that the town of Keenyu was also a poor town before, but although the people were poor, they lived a very worry-free life, but a locust plague broke out fifteen years ago, when almost all the food in the town of Kenew was eaten by the locust plague. It was the time for the denominational exchange meeting, so Garcia received food from the Earth Temple in a neighboring town, hoping to survive the famine.
However, the Earth Temple sat on the ground, and a batch of grain that was only used for disaster relief was exchanged for most of the territory of Kinewtown, so Garcia launched a gambling battle with the Earth Temple in a fit of rage, and the chips were only a batch of grain. The Hercules Cult won, and they brought enough food to rescue the then town of Kinew.
The original gambling fight to save people slowly evolved into a conflict of interests between the sects, and Garcia no longer believed in other sects after that time, in order to prevent the town of Kiniu from being bullied by other towns, the Hercules Church began to become extremely arrogant and domineering to the outside world, and every exchange meeting would have a gambling fight, biting off a piece of meat from other sects.
However, most of the money won from the gamble will be spent on the town of Keenau.
After more than ten years of development, although the relationship between Hercules and other sects is getting worse and worse, the town of Kinew has gradually developed from a poor town to a rich town today, and the prestige of Hercules in Kinewtown is also getting higher and higher, so there is still a saying in Kinewtown.
"Is it a miracle to make a big effort? Although there are some personality problems, it seems that such a sect should not perish. ”
Recalling the words he heard from the mouth of a common man, Rod couldn't help but mutter.
"Your Excellency, what kind of miracle is there?"
Arudiba on the side heard Rod's muttering, and was a little puzzled, the bishop had been a little absent-minded since he returned from Mano Town.
"It's nothing, let's go back quickly, the people of the town are waiting for our good news. ”
Rod said with a smile.
"Okay, look at my fast horse, drive~"
Arudiba couldn't wait to go back, and just as he was about to whip his horse, there seemed to be a commotion in the woods ahead.
"Aeolos, go and see what's going on. ”
Rhodes frowned slightly, and said to Aiolos on the side.
"Yes, Your Excellency. ”
Aioros answered, running into the woods ahead.
"Lord Bishop, there is a group of bandits in front of you, and they seem to be catching a child!"
It didn't take long for Aeolos to return, and said with a nervous expression,
"Your Excellency, let's go and save this child. ”
"Hmm. ”
Rod didn't expect to encounter such a scene in this barren mountain range,
"Aiolos, in the future, you don't need to ask for instructions like me for this kind of thing, it's important to save the child. ”
"Yes!"
Aioros answered, and hurried back into the woods to save the child.
"Jelf, you also go with you to help, if the bandit wants to threaten the child, you must intervene in time to save the child. ”
Rod said to Jerf on the side, he is not worried about the strength of Aiolos against a few bandits, he is worried that the other party is angry and takes the child hostage, and Jelf can save it with magic in time.
"Yes, Your Excellency. ”
Jelf answered, and hurriedly followed Aiolos to the woods to save people.
"What about me, Lord Bishop?"
Arudiba, who was on the side, was eager to try, and seemed to be going to participate.
"Look at the carriage. ”
Rod said lightly, but it made Arudiba shut up.
Soon, Aeolos and Jeff returned, and there was a little bit next to them, presumably the child who had just been captured by the bandits.
"Your Excellency, we are back. ”
Aiolos bowed to Rhodes and said,
"The bandits have been driven away, and this child is the one who was just being hunted, and it seems that he was hunted because he stole the food of the bandits. It's really excessive, for the sake of food, these thieves don't even spare a child. ”
"Little friend, what's your name, why are you alone in this barren mountain and wilderness, and why do you go to steal food from bandits?"
Rhodes bent down and asked the child, could it be that the child had run away from home.
"My name is Kerry, and I'm out on an adventure!"
I saw the child puff up his chest and say loudly, and then his tone was weak,
"Stealing food from those bandits, yes, because I'm hungry......"
Adventure?
"Kerry, are you going out on an adventure at such a young age? ”
Rod looked the child in front of him up and down, about eight years old, although he was young, but the expression on his face was very firm, which made Rod slightly surprised.
"I've already made an agreement with my uncle, and I'll show him a piece of the world!
Kerry seemed to remember something, and said with pride on his face.
"What a pact between men, what a bloody word, Kerry, and I'm sure your adventure will succeed!"
Rod was slightly stunned, then smiled, he didn't intend to break the dream and blood of the child in front of him, took out a money bag from his arms and put it in Kerry's hand, and said with a smile,
"Kerry, a qualified adventure must have strong strength and reliable partners, if you go on an adventure unprepared, you will definitely fail, and then you will not be able to fulfill your agreement with your uncle. This is a little bit of the big brother's heart, I think you should go home and cultivate hard first, and when you have strong strength, then go and complete your agreement as a man!"
"Yes!"
Looking at Rod's smiling face and bulging money bag, Kerry's eyes suddenly turned red, and then he shouted with tears.
"Well, this is also an agreement between you and your big brother, an agreement between men. ”
Rod smiled and put his fist in front of Kerry.
Kerry punched Rhodes hard and shouted:
"Hmm! a manly agreement!"
