Chapter 937: Iron Cap Pound and Hongguo Village (1st Update)
Panting heavily, Pound in the iron hat only felt that he had escaped death, and it took a long time to come to his senses, he looked up at the black shadow who had saved him, carefully raised the torch inserted in the carriage, and immediately saw a naked one-armed boy with a beast skin around his waist.
Glancing at the other party's bare right shoulder, the iron-capped Pound opened his mouth and said to him: "Little brother, who are you and why did you appear here?"
Al listened to the words of the Iron Cap Pound, slightly stunned, he suddenly found that the other party was not speaking the lingua franca of the main material world, but an ancient language with a long history, Roland, fortunately as a wizard needs to learn a lot of languages, otherwise Al may not even understand the other party's words.
With a light cough, Al looked at Pound in the iron hat and said in a somewhat rusty Roland language: "What kind of place is this, I came here by chance, my clothes are torn, and I lost my salute, I don't know where this is in which country?"
Listening to Al's somewhat strange pronunciation, the iron-capped Pound reached out and took off the black tin hat on his head, scratched his head, and said, "Your Roland language is a little strange, it should be from another country, we are here in Hongguo Village, located in the northwest of the Duchy of Marfa, where are you from?"
Listening to the words of the iron-capped Pound, Al was slightly stunned, a little surprised by the name of the Duchy of Marfa, because he had never heard the name of the Duchy of Marfa on the three continents of the east, west and north, as for the Middle Continent, it was governed by wizard organizations, and there was no country composed of ordinary people at all, so naturally there would be no such country.
With a slight frown, Al suddenly realized that the place he was in might not be the main material realm anymore.
"Could it be that it is the same as the March World I have been to before, a different world from the main material world?"
Although he thought so in his heart, Al didn't say it, he looked at the iron-capped Pound, and said: "If it's convenient, I don't know if I can go to your village to stay for a while, I've been in the wilderness for a long time, I want to live with people, don't worry, I won't live in vain, although I don't have money now, but you can also see, I still have some strength, and I can hunt as a reward." ”
As he spoke, Al dragged the three slain wolves to the carriage with one hand, and then continued, "These three wolves are my first payment, how about it?"
Looking at Al, the iron-capped Pound thought for a moment, nodded and said: "Actually, you don't need any reward, if it weren't for you, I might have fallen under the claws of these three beasts today, even if it is for the sake of this, I am very welcome to you to come to my house as a guest."
Come on, don't stay down there, hurry up and get in the car, you're wearing too little, put on my clothes first, it's very cold at night, if you get sick, there's nothing you can do, we don't have the money to get a doctor. ”
At this, the Iron Cap smiled, took out a sackcloth jacket and a pair of black linen trousers from the package in the car, and handed them to Al, and then, without much nonsense, he continued to drive the donkey forward with his whip.
Al put the clothes on his body with one hand, feeling the rough texture of the clothes, if the clothes worn by the people here were all of this type, then Al could be sure that he was really not in the main material realm that he was familiar with.
Hongguo Village is a medium-sized village adjacent to two mountain peaks, with about 100 families and about 500 people living here, because the water and soil here are still fertile, and the two low mountains nearby are also rich in products, so the villagers of Hongguo Village live a comfortable and happy life.
It was late at night, and a patrol of only ten middle-aged men from the village, armed with improvised spears and bows and arrows, patrolled the village, and when they saw the returning iron-capped Pound, they immediately surrounded him.
The people of the patrol looked at Al sitting in the carriage, his face was curious, wary, and kind, looking at their curious eyes, the iron-capped Pound said: "This is Al, he saved me on the edge of the forest outside just now, and the three wild wolves in my car were killed by him, so don't look down on people because they are young." ”
Hearing Ironcap Pound's words, Al jumped out of the carriage, looked at the people in the patrol, nodded and said, "Hello everyone, my name is Eyre, Al Grant is a traveler, temporarily living in the village, disturbing everyone. ”
Hearing Al's words, the leader of the patrol immediately laughed and said, "You are really talking in a crepe, like a scholar outside, don't worry, we in Hongguo Village are all kind people, and we welcome you as long as you live." ”
As he spoke, the leader of the patrol reached out and wanted to pat Al's right shoulder, but when he slapped his palm on the sleeve that hung down, he only felt that his hand was empty, and he saw the sleeve swinging with his hand, and he was slightly stunned, and the leader of the patrol immediately reflected and said with some embarrassment: "Inside, I don't know ...... your hand."
Looking at the appearance of the patrol leader, Al smiled slightly and said, "It's okay, this is a long time ago, I broke it when I was fighting a very powerful person, but fortunately I defeated him, and he paid a lot more than me." ”
After a while, Al said goodbye to the patrol and followed Pound to his home in the center of the village.
Iron Hat Pound worked as a mercenary when he was young and brought back a lot of money, so he was considered a very wealthy person in the village, but he was injured when he was young, which made Iron Hat Pound unable to have children, so he simply did not find someone to marry, and lived alone in the village, which was quiet and comfortable.
Holding two new clothes, as well as new underwear and bedding blankets, Pound in the iron hat came to the room he arranged for Al, put down his things, and said: "Al, you go to bed early, I will take you to the village elder Huoya when you get up tomorrow morning, as long as he agrees, you can live in the village forever, if there is a girl who can take a fancy to you, when you get married, you can officially become a member of our village." ”
Hearing this, Al sneered, and didn't defend anything, just nodded and said, "Okay, then I'll go to sleep, Uncle Pound, you should go to bed early." ”
"Okay, then I'll go out, get some rest, and see you tomorrow. ”!
