Chapter 22: Mills
Julu City, in a luxurious residence.
Under a huge crystal chandelier, Thea and a man sit face to face.
The whole person leaned lazily on the sofa, holding a glass of amber red wine in his hand, took a sip gently, and looked at the man sitting opposite him with half-open eyes.
Although the man opposite was also sitting on the sofa, he was sitting very straight, wearing a military uniform, every fold of his clothes had been smoothed, and he was holding a document in his hand, and he couldn't see his face clearly. After looking at it carefully for a long time, the man casually placed the document on the table.
"Thea, is this the new blood you chose this year? It doesn't seem to be anything special, although the strength is greater, I can only be considered in the middle and upper ranks in the legion. ”
"It's not the same. Thea took another sip of red wine and said intoxicatedly, "You haven't seen it with your own eyes, you don't understand how pure the fighting spirit in his eyes is, he is a natural knight, he was born to be strong, and fighting is his destiny." ”
"So you even gave him a set of high-level combat skills in advance for him to use his authority? I must tell you, this is against the rules of the organization. ”
"To witness the birth of a strong man, some small investments are necessary, isn't the goal of the organization to cultivate young strong people?"
"A small investment, if you take out an ordinary high-level combat skill, it will be fine, but what you took out is the combat skill that the adult cultivated back then, are you willing to bear such a big price?" There was a hint of anger in the majestic voice of the man in military uniform.
"Don't worry, I can afford this price for the time being, and I believe that I will be rewarded a thousand times in the future. Thea said unconcernedly.
"I didn't even know you were a gambler. Staring at Thea, he said, "I hope your decision is the right one, my brother." ”
Thea sat up and looked at him calmly, "I was sent by the organization to such a remote village, and I thought that my life was extremely boring, but this surprise suddenly appeared, so how can I not gamble." ”
......
In the long alley, Green wandered around casually like an ordinary buyer.
It's a small thrift market, but it's really an eye-opener for him. There are some quite delicate goods that make him feel the development of this world, although he has not embarked on the path of science and technology in his previous life, but the degree of civilization between the two is not far behind, even in terms of force, the world's top powerhouse can be said to have almost the power of nuclear weapons in the previous life.
Even this world of Felwood is much larger than the earth, and judging from the records in the book, the continent where Green is located alone has the area of all the continents on the earth combined, not to mention the legendary overseas continents.
Green was just wandering around when he suddenly saw a crowd of people gathered around the stall in front of him.
"Ancestral sword, artifact quality. 100 gold pieces, first come, first served~"
Leaning over to take a look, I saw a man holding a long sword and shouting continuously.
The workmanship looks pretty good, and the scabbard is inlaid with a few precious stones. The weapon-forging process in this world is excellent, and a well-made longsword can indeed be used for generations in many families as an heirloom.
"Young man, aren't you just an ordinary long sword, what kind of artifact are you blowing, a hundred gold and a long sword are too expensive!"
The people around said one after another, the long sword with good quality is generally about ten gold, and the long sword in this man's hand is still ancestral, and it has been used for many years, and it is really a pipe dream to sell it for a hundred gold.
The man, on the other hand, insisted that his long sword was of high quality, which his grandfather had obtained on the battlefield, and had always shown it to be like life. If it weren't for my mother's serious illness this time, I would never have sold it.
The two sides insisted on their own words, and they quarreled for a while.
Green looked at it for a moment, then felt bored, and raised his legs and walked forward.
Within two steps, Green was stunned, and a familiar aura came from behind him.
Turning around, I saw the man pull out his hand and wave it in the air, and the breath came from the sword.
"Look at the sharp blade, look at the material! it is not inferior to the fine sword of the Tesia Comptoir!" the man slashed the long sword, and immediately cut a sword mark in the wall behind it.
The people around him were a little moved, this is indeed a good sword.
"But the high-grade sword of the Tesia Merchant House is dozens of gold coins more expensive than you, and it also comes with free maintenance, and the quality is more guaranteed, if you are cheaper, I will buy it for eighty gold coins." A middle-aged man around said.
The man shook his head and put the sword back into its sheath, "A hundred gold coins must not be less, this is my mother's life-saving money." ”
"I want this sword, take the money to your mother's medical treatment." Green stepped forward and pulled out a bag of gold coins and handed it to him.
"Wait. I'll have ten more gold coins than him!, sell me this sword." The middle-aged man who had been bargaining with him saw someone buying it at this time, and he was anxious, and he had taken a fancy to this sword early in the morning, so he had been bargaining here.
The man selling the sword shook his head, "The money this gentleman gave first, this sword is his." ”
"I... I'll add ten more gold coins!", the middle-aged man said without giving up.
At this time, the man had already counted the gold coins in the bag, exactly one hundred.
"I came to sell the sword only to heal my mother's illness, which was my grandfather's favorite, and I preferred to sell it to someone who knew it. After speaking, the man carefully put away the money bag and left in a hurry.
Green pinned his sword to his waist and sighed in his heart at the man's character.
The middle-aged man came up to buy his long sword without giving up, but Green glanced at it and ignored him.
Continue your careful search at the thrift market. This time, I bought two items containing strange energy at once, and the harvest was already quite rich.
Before he knew it, he had walked to the innermost part of the market, and after feeling it for a while, Green gave up.
As soon as he turned to go back, he saw a thin man come up and say, "Sir, I have what you need, as long as you can afford it." ”
"You know what I want?"
"Of course, I've been watching you for a long time, but the way things come from is not very clean and can't be placed outside. The man said confidently.
"Then you lead the way, I'll take a look, if it's true... Price is not an issue. Although he didn't know if what he said was true or false, Green followed him to see if it was true.
The man led him through various hidden paths in the alley, getting farther and farther away from the crowds in the alley, and finally came to a narrow cul-de-sac.
Leaving Green waiting, the man walked in and knocked on a small wooden door.
With a creak, the wooden door opened from the inside, revealing a gloomy face, and the man immediately nodded and whispered something to him, turning back to Grimm from time to time.
Hearing this, the man in the wooden door had a sinister smile on his face, opened the door and let the man in.
Immediately, a string of people came out of the room, carrying sticks and short knives in their hands, and looked at Green with bad intentions.
I looked back, and saw that a few people also walked out of the entrance of the alley, blocking the exit.
"Boy, dare to offend our Blood Rat Gang, you will die today!" the man at the head waved the short knife in his hand in the air and said arrogantly.
A person in the back also jumped out and stared at Green viciously, it was the pickpocket who had just been taught by Green, "Big brother, it's this kid, he is very arrogant, and his wallet is very bulging, this time he must make him look good!"
Hearing the words of the younger brother, the man in charge rolled his eyes and said to Green: "Boy, you beat Harry to a serious injury, you can't just forget it, hand over all the money on your body, and then cut off your right hand, and you can leave." ”
Green, who had been impatient for a long time, sneered, "I thought someone sent it against me, but it turned out to be just a gang of pickpockets." Now each of you will cut off your right hand, and I will spare your lives. ”
"Give him a shame, go up together, cut him!", a group of people were furious when they heard Green's words, raised their weapons and rushed towards Green.
Holding the long sword he had just bought in his hand, Green found that the sword was unexpectedly in his hand, looked at the few thugs who rushed up, and smiled coldly.
With a flick of his footsteps, avoiding a few attacks, the long sword in Green's hand was raised, and several sword lights flashed, "Swift Wolf Aurora Fang!"
A group of people fell to the ground one after another, clutching their wrists and wailing, and all of them were cut off by Green's right hand.
Raised the long sword and looked at it, there was not a trace of blood stained, it was indeed a good sword.
Ignoring the wailing of a group of people on the ground, Green put away his sword and turned to leave, only to see a figure standing at the exit of the alley.
Dressed in the black and white uniform of the Knight Academy, his hair stood high on end, and he was leaning against the wall diagonally, clapping his hands lightly.
Bang bang bang.
"Yes, the sword is fast. ”
"Who are you?" asked Green, expressionless.
"I heard that Lord Thea personally chose a new blood this year, so I came over to take a look. But it doesn't seem to be that good. The man in the school uniform said in a flirtatious tone.
With a slight gaze in his eyes, Green already understood that the man in front of him was also a member of the mysterious Brotherhood, "You sent these people?"
The man on the other side replied with a look of disgust: "You say these maggots? How is it possible, I think I still prefer to be clean." “
After looking at the other party for a while, Green ignored him and walked straight past him.
"Remember, my name is Mills. “
A fist wind came from behind him, and without thinking about it, Green turned around sharply, and his already clenched right hand slammed into the opponent's fist.
Boom.
A dull voice rang out.
The fists of the two sides were tightly pressed together, and they confronted each other like this.
In Green's calm gaze, there was a surging flame, and he stared at the other party's eyes without flinching.
Halfway through, the man who called himself Mills chuckled, "Yes, it's worthy of Lord Thea." “
The two fists slowly parted, and Green gave him a deep look before turning away.
Mills stood silently until Green's figure was far away and he couldn't be seen again.
The right hand that had been suppressing couldn't help but tremble slightly, how much power was hidden in that body? Even the official knight himself couldn't stop the fist of a knight's squire?
Of course, he didn't know that Green's body had been systematically strengthened and could exert every trace of strength one hundred percent, and this kind of body was called a perfect body in some schools that specialized in body cultivation.
