Chapter 118: Orientals and Mercenaries
While they were cleaning up the battlefield, Stannis prepared to make one last tour of the place where he had fought for the first time, and he drove his horse aimlessly wandering the grasslands, the battlefield after the fierce battle was particularly magnificent in the bloody sunset.
However, in the end, he found that there was still a person standing there in the place where the enemy had been arrayed, and he had never left.
This piqued Stannis's curiosity, and he slowly paced over to find that it was the Oriental Jebertay.
"Your army has been defeated. ”
"Yes. Zhebotai nodded.
"Your boss has been split in two. ”
"I see it very clearly here. He had no objection.
"Then what are you doing here, don't you run for your life?" Stannis was completely confused.
Jebertai laughed, Stannis could perceive that this was a cunning that only belonged to Orientals, and only he, who was also an Oriental, could understand, "Morton lost to you, which means that he is not a better head wolf, so I want to ......"
This guy is very clever and knows the truth of choosing a good tree to live in, "You want to mess with me?"
Jebotai nodded.
Someone took the initiative to send him to the door as a little brother, and Stannis began to pretend to be reserved again, "It's okay to mess with me, but I don't accept everyone, I'm a moral and clean person, you follow that kind of guy who does all kinds of evil, and there is no less blood on your hands, right?"
Zhebotai hurriedly waved his hand and pleaded, "Don't get me wrong, I only joined the gang last month, and I haven't killed anyone, but I'm just giving advice like a fox next to a tiger." ”
It turned out to be a dog-headed military advisor, "Then tell me, what will you do?"
Zhebotai cleared his throat, he also attached great importance to this interview opportunity, "I am Zhebotai from the prairie, and I am an eagle of the Helie Division!"
Oh, he was a nomad, but how did he, an Oriental, come to the west?
"I am a good thief, a horse thief, and a good tracker and guide, and I can ride a horse with a bow and shoot arrows, and I ......," the Oriental mustache drew a boning knife from behind his back, "and I am also skilled in killing people with knives." ”
Stannis couldn't help but shrink back when he saw the knife, "Alright, alright, put away that ominous weapon, then why did you end up here? ”
"Collecting the wind!" this guy actually said this reason with a big grin, "I have been writing a travelogue about the Western Continent since I separated from the Barbarian King of the Four Directions, but I have not had enough experience, so I have to write all the way, and I have been experiencing the life of bandits and bandits for the past month." ”
Stannis almost didn't laugh out loud, "I didn't expect to meet a writer! Okay, you can stay with me and record my great rise history." ”
"Yes!"
"As for the salary, do you want to be paid on a weekly basis, or on a per capita basis?"
"The former. ”
"Okay, so where to stay, I don't have a lot of empty rooms in my castle that you can move in, no problem, right?"
"Nope. ”
In the end, the trickiest question came where to assign this guy. The infantry and archers were all brought with him, and it was a bit redundant to put this guy in the army, and suddenly he had an idea of what position to put him in.
"How about letting me be my scout captain, although you're the only one in the scout team now, but don't worry, I'll still be cheating...... Summoning some elites to come in, you just need to be in charge of the full-time sentry. ”
He was already desperate for the vigilance skills that Ranger Kanye had shown before, how could any powerful character still stand guard and fall asleep!?
Zhebertai touched his mustache and thought for a moment before agreeing, for he saw in the young lord the shadow of his former companion, as brave, reckless, innocent, righteous and even a little silly and cute as the barbarian king.
Dangdang!Stannis gets a blue NPC again, but he doesn't know that this Oriental is far higher quality than blue.
Soon, the victorious army of Zivignie's army returned triumphantly, with the swaggering Robert at the front, while the lord was left behind, for he felt the need to update a little after the battle.
He secretly called out to Batesmore, and the two of them deliberately walked to the back of the line.
"Thank you for saving me just now. ”
The mercenary captain snapped his fingers, "It's easy to say, it's okay to have money!" But this time it's a boss character who helped you kill, so you need to double, two gold coins." ”
Stannis didn't expect this guy to have gotten into the eye of money, but if he really loved money so much, why didn't he recklessly harvest his head when so many people were trapped in the swamp just now?
"When you split Morton apart, I saw a trace of white floating object detached from his body, what was that?"
Batesmore winked at him, "It's his soul." ”
"What!soul?, I thought that thing didn't exist, or even if it did, it should be invisible!" Stannis's worldview was refreshed again, he didn't expect that the soul of this world existed.
Batesmore smiled and drew his sword with a 'whoosh', the blade now dull and without the blue light it had emitted before.
"This sword is called the 'Sword of the Soul Slayer', and it can be absorbed by transforming the souls of those it kills into form. The mercenary captain looked at the sword with pity, as if he were his own child.
A soul-absorbing sword, which looked like a weapon for an evil character, Stannis shuddered.
So he found an excuse to leave his mercenary captain behind and walked forward again until he caught up with Robert.
"Boss, what were you doing hiding behind just now?" asked Robert, curious.
"I'll see if anyone is left behind. Stannis casually found a reason to prevaricate.
Suddenly, he thought of one more thing, "By the way, do you know who the Barbarian King of the Four Directions is?" ”
Robert was taken aback, he leaned back suspiciously, and glanced at the Oriental man walking behind, "This guy is bragging! How could he have been a companion of the Barbarian King?"
"What's the matter, shouldn't the Barbarian King have a very cheap title?"
"There are thousands of Nord kings on the north bank of the Hamrhine, but only one can be called the 'Barbarian King of the Four Directions', his real name has been lost, everyone calls him the Barbarian King, and it is said that his sword can summon the phoenix! ”
Stannis has finally heard the name of the first epic weapon!
"That barbarian king is so powerful, but why can't Jebotai be his companion?"
Robert shook his head, this fake Stannis still didn't understand the situation, "Because the barbarian king is a legend 10,000 years ago!"
