The bodies of the three goblins were hung from the beams of the house, swaying slightly. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info The rope rubs against the wooden beam, making a creaking sound. On the hillside next to the village, three rows of newly built graves are putting the finishing touches on them, and Butcher holds charcoal and writes the names of relatives and friends on wood, which he sticks into the wet soil.

"What are you going to do next?" Zhao Mai asked, "If there is only one person, it is not suitable to live here." ”

Butcher didn't lift his head, and repeatedly checked his writing for errors. Hearing Zhao Mai's words, he wiped his nose with the back of his hand, inhaled hard, and then said in an indifferent tone: "I can live anywhere, you don't have to worry about it." ”

"I want to hire you. Zhao Mai decided to go straight: "I can see that you are very powerful, and your swinging of the axe is very amazing." I think I'll be a lot safer with you. ”

"Are you an aristocrat or something?"

Zhao Mai shook his head, "I'm not a nobleman, nor am I a rich businessman. I'm just a young druid in need of help. ”

"Need help?" Butcher spat on the ground, wiped his mouth, and said, "Everyone in this world needs help but me, so I don't have that idleness to me." ”

"We're going to go south, and we're going to get closer and closer to the land that the goblins occupy. Zhao Mai said: "I don't know what you think, I only know that if I were you, I would definitely continue to find trouble with goblins." This is a raiding party, and they are out to rob at the order of the order. Maybe you're not interested in helping other villages, but what about exterminating goblins?"

"I can do that. ”

"Follow me, at least you don't have to spend the night alone in the wilderness, and there will always be someone to take care of your back. Zhao Mai said: "I am a fair and reasonable person, and I will not treat you badly." ”

"You'd better do what you promised," Butcher said after a moment's thought, "or you'll be hacked to death by me if you don't have a chance to survive the trial." ”

The paladins expressed different opinions about Butcher's joining. A few thought it should be easier for the party to be done as quickly as possible, while others thought it was a good deed that a knight should not refuse. And Zhao Mai thinks that this is actually a problem of marching speed, and this problem is solved when you reach the next town and buy a sturdy mule or horse.

So the group stopped in Wato Town for a while, and Zhao Mai bought some equipment for Butcher. Unexpectedly, Butcher is still a picky person, at least he has high requirements for his mounts. In the whole town, not a single horse could get into his eyes, so in the end he only had a mule, which he used for transportation.

"Do you know how to ride and fight on horseback?" Zhao Mai surveyed Butcher's size. He is taller than ordinary people, with big hands and long feet and thighs, but he can't see the effect of long-term horseback riding on his legs and crotch, so he can't judge.

Bucher shook his head, not knowing whether he didn't want to ignore Zhao Mai or deny his riding skills. He saw a curved-bladed broadsword in the blacksmith's shop, which was a large slashing weapon with a length of one meter and two meters, which ordinary people used with their hands. He picked it up and weighed it, asked the blacksmith to add a small piece of counterweight behind the hilt, and then asked Zhao Mai to buy it.

This kind of murderous weapon can only be used by those who are strong enough, and Butcher can actually hold and play with it in one hand. Zhao Mai watched him swing the big knife up and down, cutting a wooden stake into five in a few seconds. Judging by his methods, he does not look like a fledgling farmer or hunter, but rather like a warrior after a long period of training.

Zhao Mai was interested in inquiring into his past, but Butcher shook his head and just didn't say anything. Sometimes when he was annoyed by the question, he would glare, raise a kick and kick Zhao Mai's ass. Except for the first time when he was hit and fell, he dodged all the other times.

Wato Town is the kind of town where dragons and snakes are mixed and lacks supervision, although it can't be said to be a den of thieves, but it is not far away. The paladins of Iomedite are very eye-catching here, and the emblem of the Sword of Radiance can have a similar effect to the "Silence" here. In short, from the first second they entered the town, they were watched by everyone, but they were ignored by anyone, and they seemed very unwelcome. So if you want to inquire about the situation in the Grand Druid and the swamp area, only Zhao Mai and Butcher can do it.

"You mean to let me stay at the inn while you go out and find it yourself?" Zhao Mai looked up from the breakfast plate of blood sausage, omelette, and roasted potatoes, unable to hide his surprise. "Is there anything I can't afford to know?"

"It's not convenient for you to go where I'm going, you won't like my friends from the past, you're not the same kind of people. Butcher shook his head very firmly.

"Alright, you can go. When will we be back? Because whether we can get any news or not, we won't stay here for long, three days at most. ”

There was no expression on Bucher's scarred face, and he thought for a long time, wondering why Zhao Mai would accept it so easily. He wasn't sure if the druid was too stupid or too smart, so he simply said, "Well, it won't take that long." ”

He tightened his leather armor, tucked his logging axe behind his belt, and lifted his broadsword. When he was about to go out, he suddenly turned around and said to Zhao Mai: "You'd better close the door at night and don't open the door to anyone." Trust your hound, it's much more secure than your little cleverness. ”

Without waiting for Zhao Mai to nod, the door closed. Through the curtains of the room, Butcher's tall figure could be seen disappearing into the shadows of the alley. The town seems to be capable of devouring everything, whether it's the light of a goddess or a strong man.

After being alone, Butcher regained a familiar feeling. There was no one behind him, and a looming sense of threat blew through the hairs behind his ears, causing his muscles to tense again. This tension he thought he would never experience again, he thought he would be able to be reborn in the valley. Unfortunately, it backfired, and the gods deceived him again.

"I'm really ****** failure. Butcher still had resentment in his heart. I have been a mercenary, a bodyguard and a knight, and I have also been a knight for a while. Although he did not have a fixed castle or land, he had seen the world and enjoyed luxury. It's just that time and time again, he always becomes the one who is persecuted or the one who carries the blame, and even the guy who promoted him just wants to take advantage of him. He looked for one boss after another, but only understood one truth: civilians without background could not be truly reused. Despite his caution, he was still no match for the aristocracy who specialized in playing tricks. Having lost his armor and being seriously wounded, he fled to a canyon village, where he relied on prayer and family to rebuild his life.

The goblin has destroyed his last habitat, and he is tired of being manipulated by fate. It is said that the druid lived a life of isolation, and maybe that was what he needed. Following Mike for the time being and being sheltered by nature may be his last chance to get rid of his troubles in this life. Besides, at present, it seems that Mike has some ghost ideas, and he is fair in handling things, at least he can see it.

There's not much else to go anyway, that's what Butcher thought.
