Chapter 267: Spoils of War
In the arena, Lu Bin clenched the mace with both hands and pulled it out vigorously, the erosive wound site, the smelly blood, and the fragments of internal organs were carried out and accumulated into a pile like a cub. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
The warm body of the dead wild boar kept twitching, as if it was still alive, and scared off many people who approached.
Entering the arena to carry away its battle slave, with the spear in his hand, poked the nose of the big boar vigorously, and after several temptations, found that it did not move, and made sure that the king of the arena was completely dead, he beckoned his companion to come forward and work together to move it away.
Lu Bin left the arena with the victory, and the person in charge, Castos, because he had won a large amount of income, happily took out the appearance fee, gave half of the city wall guards according to the rules, and used the rest to pay the city entrance tax.
Therefore, the income in Lu Bin's hands is only a small handful of copper, to put it mildly, just a piece of copper that has been smashed flat by a hammer, with a few gaps in the corners, and there is no beauty of processing.
The guard saw the confusion of the beast fighter "Anglo", "Brave Gentiles, for the sake of your wonderful duel, I suggest that you rent a house in Midtown as soon as possible, and think about what kind of skills you have to make a living and support yourself." You may think that it was easy to win, but there are no undefeated people in the arena, and the winners are always citizens in the stands, I think you can understand that. ”
Lu Bin handed the last income to the guards, and he simply didn't pay attention to the money at all: "I don't have a clue about this city at all, I hope you can help me avoid sleeping on the streets." This is an opportunity for cooperation, and it is also my friendship, and I hope you can accept it. ”
The guards were greedy for immediate benefits, and they also admired the heroism of "Anglo" in the arena, and they already estimated in their hearts that the Gentile in front of them, probably a citizen of a certain city, had been shipwrecked on the island of Hira, and his cold and hard tone turned soft.
"Well, I know a few people in Midtown, and they're all nice and nice people, and they're going to be happy to accept them, so you follow me and find a place to stay. ”
Castos, the head of the arena, has much better eyesight than the guards, and he knows the details of the game. Despite drugging the boar in advance, destroying its spirituality, stimulating its bestiality, becoming stupid and sluggish.
However, the wisdom and courage of this Gentile to be able to face this monster for the first time, without fear, calmly retreat into advance, and also use the terrain of the arena to create a fighter for himself to kill the great boar, this fighting wisdom and amazing courage are worth the investment.
"By the way, Mr. Anglo, you have fought in my arena, killed the monster I have been raising for a long time, and not only took away a victory, but I also personally bestowed on you the title of respect, we have already established a friendship with each other, and you have an obligation to play again when I need it, and I am sure you can understand why. ”
Lu Bin nodded lightly: "I can understand! The customs of Hira Island are similar to my hometown, and I am also looking forward to the next duel, hoping that the opponent will not be inferior to the big wild boar." ”
Castos wanted to laugh a little, but he restrained it well, and finally couldn't help it, and shook his head: "This big boar has several origins. The most bizarre is Typhon, the father of the Hundred Monsters, who was crushed under Mount Etna and was born out of an inadvertent spill of anger. There is also a legend that His Royal Highness Artemis, the god of hunting, was dissatisfied with his lack of sacrifices and deliberately sent a messenger. These are baseless falsehoods, the real reason...... The real reason, no one knows, maybe the priests of the Sea God Temple know, but they don't say anything. ”
Although the guard was a citizen of the upper city, he was not qualified to talk about the temple priests because he was not of high enough birth, so he could only secretly pull at "Anglo's" leather pants and signal him not to listen any further.
Lu Bin immediately understood the guard's hint: "The big wild boar is dead, if it really comes from an extraordinary background, I have already died under its fangs." It turns out that the overlord of this mountain forest is just a product of nature. It's pitiful for people who don't know about it, forcibly tying things that have nothing to do with each other, passing on incorrect words as the truth, and finally even getting caught up in it. ”
Castos, the head of the arena, with his eyes wide open, as if he had met the Gentile in front of him for the first time, sighed: "I can see that you are a man who has done great things, your heart has been tested with piety, and your body has been rigorously trained. From your mouth, tell the truth that all citizens know, but dare not say, and you will be the best citizen of Atlas City. ”
The guard, fearing that the Gentile would be abducted by Castos, quickly stretched out his hand and snapped his fingers: "Hey, Mr. Anglo, we are running out of time, we must find a place to settle as soon as possible, and being penniless is not something to be proud of." ”
Later, Lu Bin was grabbed by the guard by the wrist and forcibly took him out of the arena, the battle slaves did not dare to stop him, so as not to violate the laws of the city, the Gentiles from Midtown guarded their duties, as for the person in charge, Castos, but he stretched out his hand to stop the citizens around him, and watched the unproductive guard and beast fighter "Anglo" leave.
"With a correct and deep understanding of rumors, and the ability to give brilliant opinions, this Gentile is not only a brave warrior, but also has the potential of a wise man. Don't bother him, try to keep an eye on it, that's enough. ”
When all the people present, including citizens, Gentiles, and slaves, heard these words, they were in awe of Castos.
Being able to operate and manage such a huge industry, and also to continuously deliver benefits for himself and the family behind him, and to say a few words without moving, he will attract outstanding talents, and people in high positions have their own set of ideas, and Castos is exactly like this.
The guards did not "guide" as before, but very simply led the way in front, leading Lu Bin out of the arena and towards the middle city where the Gentiles were housed.
Walking around the wide streets and narrow alleys, it didn't take long for the guards to suddenly stop at their feet. Lu Bin saw a bungalow inlaid with white shells, looked up and down and found nothing else, so he nodded lightly.
The guard let go at this time, and knocked on the door alone, and soon came an old woman, with gray hair, unkempt, and a little messy, her face was covered with traces of time, and her chin was folded in layers, and it was clear that in her youth, this lady was very rich.
"Cayeta, I've found you a generous tenant, this money is his rent, he has no income lately, you can do it, don't let him go hungry. ”
The old woman was expressionless at first, but she smiled with satisfaction until she put a handful of copper in her hand and dropped her hand heavily.
"Neas, I know that you are a kind-hearted man, and even the noble citizens of the upper city are willing to associate with us, and thanks to your care, the empty house is finally occupied. This gentleman has a very unfamiliar face, not like a person from Midtown. ”
The guard Neas nodded slightly: "This Mr. Anglo is from a foreign country, he was shipwrecked, and he was inadvertently exiled to the island of Hira, it sounds incredible, we all know that this kind of thing has happened many times, so don't mind." ”
The old woman guarded her house, lived on rent, welcomed the new tenants, did not say anything more, and stretched out her hand to invite the two of them in.
Lu Bin stepped through the door, and suddenly felt the cold water vapor blowing on his face, completely different from the heat outside, all kinds of clay pots and utensils in the room have their own places, clean and dust-free, and he smiled with satisfaction.
The guard Neas still had his own job, and immediately after a brief greeting, with the tax received, the benefits that belonged to him, hurriedly left the house and returned to his post. Of course, if you leave for such a long time, you will inevitably have to pay money and gag other people's mouths, this is the rule of the guards.
The old woman Cayeta said a few words casually, all of which were tenants' rules, and with years of accumulated experience, she saw that the new tenant was not a vicious bad person, and her hands behind her back were placed on her chest and her arms were staggered.
After the landlord left, Lu Bin closed the door and walked to the open-air courtyard, where a statue of the god of the sea was life-high, bathed in the clear spring water, and the bright sunlight shone brightly, radiating a brilliant look.
The origin of the cool water vapor, Lu Bin has already understood, back to his room, there is no window for idlers and others to peep, he checked left and right, there is no obstructive eyeliner, his left hand spread out to summon the book of the travel mage, there is no movement, can only turn the page with his own hands.
"Although the boar has no connection to my lost card, its origin or soul has brought me a little help, and I can finally open my monster deck in the new world. ”
Lu Bin stretched out his hand and pointed on an unsealed card, on which was an iron-colored hill, and a striped and mottled wild boar stood proudly at the top, with a wooden chew at the corner of his mouth, a metal halter, two tethers around his neck, and even a saddle on his back.
"The Armored Wild Pig, an ordinary creature, a wild boar from the Iron Hill, has a violent and belligerent temperament, and is very obedient when tamed. Class: Mount. Traits: Fangs Attack, Savage Charge......"
Lu Bin took a deep breath of satisfaction, did not summon it on the spot, and secretly thought: "Wild boar mount, I have to find a suitable reason." According to the information recently obtained, there must be similar monsters left outside the city, and it is necessary to leave the city for a long time, otherwise it is impossible to explain its origin. ”
