Chapter 03: Turning the Face
The speed at which the monster pounced did not make the people present feel irresistible, but when it was a foot above the ground, it suddenly paused, and then grew its mouth.
Seeing this change, the people present didn't know that the monster was using such abilities as Dou Qi, so they immediately held their breath and improved their Dou Qi.
Sure enough, Link felt as if his heart had been squeezed by an invisible hand, and his whole body went numb, and he quickly recovered.
The monster had already pounced, but the other knights and Princess Fafir had turned into carved villas as if by the invisible sound waves, and they didn't even react.
Link raised his hand, drew his sword from its sheath, and with a flash of light, he met the monster that Duke Favel had turned into.
The monster fluttered its wings, spun and dodged, and let out a series of startling, scalp-tinging screams as it flew around the grand church.
Link protected the princess and the rest of her entourage with a sword light, and after a few breaths, the princess recovered, and her face changed drastically, and she said, "What kind of fighting spirit is this?
Link said, "Princess, if you don't give the order to release the arrows, when will you wait?"
Princess Fafil said, "Don't let the arrow go, it's my father's head!"
Link's face froze, the corners of his mouth twitched, and he said, "Well, Your Highness, in my opinion, no matter what it was before, now, it's a monster. Why don't you go find a net?"
When Princess Fafil heard this, she was overjoyed and said, "Yes, Anna, go and get a net." ”
So, Anna hurried away and hurried back.
Link is holding a fishing net, his body is outstretched, his toes are a little in the corner of the wall, and he takes three quick steps against the wall, and his hand lifts the net open.
He was so fast at the moment, like an ape climbing a rock, the monster was still spinning, and was caught up in a fishing net, so he tried to tear the fishing net with his fangs in the net, and Link swung his sword and pressed directly on the monster, pressing the monster so that it couldn't move.
The princess immediately put the monster in her pocket.
The monster seemed to have a lot of intelligence, and it struggled in the dark.
The princess's eyes flashed with a strange look, which was both grateful and repulsive, and she said, "Link, you have a good night's rest, and tomorrow, we will discuss how to save my father." ”
The torches flickered, and Link's gaze was smiling.
By daybreak, Link had returned to the Bronze Bull Tavern in Deer Hunting City.
Link is not a three-year-old, he has been in this world for six years.
Six years is enough to learn a lot of things, enough to understand the taboos of this world.
The so-called demonization, in this world, there are a lot of legends circulating.
And whether the protagonist turns into a monster willingly or unwillingly, in the legend of this universe, he has signed a contract with the devil to sell his soul.
Therefore, even if Link speculates, it is basically certain that Duke Fafer may be a victim of some kind of monster virus, but in the eyes of Princess Fafel, Link is a witness to Duke Fafer being the devil's contractor.
Therefore, even at the beginning, the princess may not have made up her mind to kill Link, but when the princess comes to her senses, or when reason prevails, she will definitely find a knight to kill Link.
Therefore, Link knew that it was time to leave Deer Hunting City and find another nest.
He hasn't learned any other techniques, but he can disguise, which is already top-notch, and his extraordinary charm enhances the effect of disguise, which is enough to cope with general scrutiny.
Link returned to his den, and he took his savings, a leather pocket of jewels the size of pigeon's eggs, and a long sharp dagger.
However, his own reward must be taken away.
10,000 Merlin ancient gold coins.
The princess will never miss the second chance to extinguish her mouth, so she can only take it from the town hall.
In the bleak moonlight, a figure galloped through the street at the speed of a galloping horse.
The next day, as soon as it was getting light, I heard someone ring the alarm bell at the city hall.
People flocked to the town hall.
Link put on makeup and crowded with the crowd in front of the town hall.
At the sight of the Mayor, Sir Ron's face was flushed, and his eyes were red, and he said, "Someone has robbed him of this year's tax money, a thousand ancient platinum coins! God, this is our city's tax dollars! Whoever it is, he had better pray that his hunters will live until our hunters catch up with him." Otherwise, his body will be desecrated, and his soul will only fall into the bottomless abyss. ”
I saw a few hunters coming with hounds.
Link smiled at the corner of his mouth, this hound has the most intelligent nose, but it can't beat the stinky medicine.
Sure enough, the hound, which had been led to smell the thief's scent, barked wildly as soon as he reached the golden cabinet, and no one could hold it, and soon he foamed at the mouth and collapsed.
The mayor had no choice but to write a letter to Princess Fafel.
In the castle, Princess Fafil received the letter and threw it directly into the fire.
Her personal maid Anna said, "Your Highness, is Link wanted in the whole empire?"
Princess Fafil said lightly: "Since he has disappeared with interest, then forget it, anyway, he saved us once." ”
Anna nodded and said, "Your Highness is kind-hearted and worthy of being the flower of our Northland." ”
A complicated look flashed in Princess Fafel's eyes, and she said lightly: "Since my father's remains are complete, let's bury them." ”
"Yes. ”
Here, Link drove his horse to the east.
Over there, it was the domain of the Duke of Newton.
And the Duke of Newton is a duke based on commerce, although he does not have a strong army, but he pursues strong financial resources, so in his place, 100,000 gold coins are enough to buy a lord's title and territory, and even pack thousands of people.
Since coming to the world of Philo six years ago, Link has been a civilian for the first two years, but after activating the ability, Link has earned enough to make the average lord suffer from pink eye.
And in four years, he saved 100,000 ancient gold coins, and this income is not much less than that of a territorial earl.
Link, complacently letting the horse trot.
Along the way, ruts and horseshoe prints made the official road muddy, but fortunately, although it was muddy, it did not freeze, so the horses could still run fast.
Link walked out of Deer Hunt City and walked towards Elk City, which borders the southwest corner of Newton's Territory.
Newton's collar is a horn of the Guruding Empire deep into the wild continent, shaped like a gecko, and Elk City borders the left hind leg and tail part of the gecko.
The climate is even colder.
Along the way, snow chrysanthemums bloom delicately.
Some peasants, leading ox carts full of snow turnips and snow curly white, creaked beside Link.
The road is neither long nor close, about fifty kilometers.
But on the muddy roads, horses can only run ten kilometers in an hour, even resting and eating, and they do not reach Elk City until sunset.
At this time, Link had already disguised himself as a middle-aged man of thirty-five or sixteen.
The only flaw is his eyes that flash cold electricity from time to time.
