Chapter 95
Originally, he was just going to eat a god of hunting and slaughter to try it, but it turned out to make Lei Thankful and bow down, and he almost didn't float a prompt of "loyalty plus a hundred" above his head, which made Sui Xiong very surprised. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Things in this world are really unpredictable......
For example, he was ready to fight the emissary of the god of hunting and slaughter, but until he escorted the caravan to the next town, and even continued on his way to the city of Quintah, he did not encounter any attackers.
Could it be that the "cruel hunter" has changed his temperament? He plans to turn a war with Sui Xiong into a jade silk, and everyone will laugh and make a fortune together?
Sui Xiong shook his head secretly, the gods did not have a "change of nature" to speak of, their "character" was dominated by their priesthood and domain, and it was not inhumanity in the gods, but human nature needed to give in to divinity. The god of hunting and slaughter has priesthoods or domains in cruelty, killing, revenge, etc., among which killing is still one of the main priesthoods, which means that it is absolutely impossible for him to do something to "turn hostility into peace".
He wasn't afraid to fight the god of hunting and slaughter, who wasn't very powerful in his own right, and didn't have a strong backer behind him. Although theoretically he belongs to the orc god system, he is not an orc, and he is just a marginal figure in the orc god system. If you fight normally, it is unlikely that you will provoke other gods of the orc god line.
And if it's one-on-one, the god of hunting and slaughter is just a weak god, probably a little more upscale than the janitor of the night god who likes to find a little girl to be his priest, and Sui Xiong really doesn't scare him at all.
But in any case, no one comes looking for trouble, which is a good thing after all.
"Two fires!" Steele couldn't help but smile as she looked at the two gently swaying blue flames on the back of her right hand.
Along the way, they helped many pedestrians who encountered monsters, and although Ray's martial arts were brilliant, Steele's healing spells were also useful. Every time she treats the injured, she can get people's gratitude, and little by little, there are two blue fires.
"But there's still ten fires left!" Steele sighed as she laughed and looked at the remaining ten spaces on the back of her hand.
During this time, the injured she had treated had probably reached the triple digits, and she had even used the resurrection technique twice, but the blue fire she had saved was only so little, which made her feel a little anxious.
"Your Majesty Void Kamen, isn't there a problem with the measurement of this blue fire?" After thinking about it carefully, she still couldn't help but protest to Sui Xiong, "The last time I saved that caravan, I only treated so many people, and I got a ball of blue fire. I've treated so many people during this time, why did I get a lump?"
"The fire of Lourdes is not calculated by how many people you treat, but by how many people you help. Sui Xiong explained, "That caravan is very numerous, and you and Lei saved them from the danger of being slaughtered, which in itself is a great virtue." Although there are a lot of people you have treated during this time, the total number of people added up is probably about the same as that of a caravan. Each has a fire of virtue, which is reasonable. ”
Steele suddenly realized, nodded and sat down next to him, lost in thought.
Since the fire of virtue was lit on the back of her right hand, her mind has changed a little, and in addition to the routine spring, she has also devoted a lot of attention to how to accumulate the fire of virtue.
Of course, Sui Xiong was happy to see this, and he gave Steele this red and blue flame in order to restrain her desires and induce her to be positive and kind. How can you not be happy to see that she does have signs of goodness now?
Compared to Steele, Ray's change is even more pronounced.
Since swearing allegiance to Sui Xiong that day, his whole temperament has been changing, revealing a cheerful and lively atmosphere, like a tree pressed by stones, finally removing the burden on his head and being in good spirits.
When passing by a town, he even went to the magic tower of this town, and found a high-level mage to transform his leather armor.
When he returned, the black leather armor had turned white, and it no longer looked vicious, but rather kind.
Not only that, but he also began to pay attention to his appearance, combing his hair neatly every day, and his clothes were tidy, no longer as unkempt as before.
Especially now he often exudes a bit of elegance in his every move, even when he fights with monsters, which makes people feel that this is not an adventurer who licks blood with a knife, but a wandering knight who is chivalrous and righteous.
The only downside is that he hasn't found a suitable mount yet, but the matter is already on the horizon, and he recently caught a bronze crested wyvern, and is now slowly taming.
"Actually, the Brass Wyvern is not a very good mount. One day, while tossing and turning the vicious monster and subduing it through this seemingly playful method, he said to Sui Xiong, "They don't fly very fast, and their torso strength is not very strong." It's mostly in the fangs - but I don't need their own combat power, so it's a complete waste. ”
"What kind of mount is the most suitable?" Sui Xiong asked.
"Of course, it's still a war horse!" said with a smile, "The spear riding skills I am good at are designed for horseback riding, although it is not impossible to ride other horses, but after all, it is still the most suitable for horseback riding, and I can give full play to my spear skills." ”
"But...... It's not easy to find a horse that can allow me to ride in battle!"
During this time, whenever he went to a town, he would visit the merchants in the city, ask if there were any good horses for sale, and he also saw a few good famous horses before and after. However, those horses are more in terms of intelligence or speed, and "strong" is slightly lacking - Ray does not need a psychic horse or a wind chaser, he wants a strong, high-headed horse that can withstand the strength of him and the masters of the same level to fight on horseback.
But of course, such a war horse could not be found, and in desperation, he had no choice but to set his sights on the monsters.
This bronze-crowned wyvern, which would cause panic in a small town, was his choice to retreat.
But the Bras-Crested Wyvern was not an easy creature to tame, and until they arrived at the Golden Tower, the creature remained fierce and unchanged. It doesn't reject the knight Ray, but whenever it finds an opportunity, it wants to break out and hurt people.
If Ray was still the lone thief he was back then, he wouldn't mind riding a beast - the one-horned dragon he rode was also a beast and could help in battle. But now that he is a knight, how can a knight who is chivalrous and helps others ride a fierce beast?
Maybe one day, if you don't pay attention, this bastard will eat the pedestrians on the side of the road......
"If it really doesn't work, I can only ask Your Majesty to take action and put a tight hoop on this guy. As they crossed the gates and entered the Golden Tower, Ray struck the bronze-crowned wyvern on the head with one hand, threatening the fellow not to speak to the sturdy-looking and chewy guards next to him, as he thought so.
Golden Tower City is a very ordinary small city in the Mystic Tower Federation, it is located in the central and western part of the Federation, almost close to the border. From here, it's about a week's drive west, down the plateau to the flatlands, to the Duchy of Thunder, a country attached to the Mystic Tower Federation, known for its cultivation and minerals.
As a small city, the Golden Tower City is slightly smaller than the Green Tree City. Before entering the city, Sui Xiong specially searched with his soul sense, and determined that the owner of the magic tower in the center of this town had not yet stepped into the legendary realm, but was just a high-level mage.
The city of Quinta is not very safe, and it does not look prosperous. There are not many pedestrians on the street, but there are quite a few adventurers coming and going. Aside from the golden magic tower in the middle of the town, the most conspicuous thing is probably the gallows lined up outside the city gates.
More than one desiccated corpse was hanging from the gallows, swaying in the wind.
"I feel a little uncomfortable with this town. Sui Xiong said, "I always feel that there are not many good people here, and bad people are all over the ......."
"Every town has its own way of life, and you shouldn't force others to your liking. "We're just here to recruit the knight of Parn, and we'll leave after inviting him." How the people of this town live is none of our business. ”
"But shouldn't you do something?" Sui Xiong couldn't help but frown when he noticed a child on the side of the road trying to steal something from a drunken adventurer, "The situation here is wrong!"
Before he could finish speaking, the adventurer was already startled, and his thick palm grabbed the child's right arm, twisted it with a twist, and the hapless thief suddenly screamed and fell out—accompanied by the sound of broken bones.
The drunken adventurer cursed and walked away, leaving only the pickpocket with broken bones, lying on the ground wailing in pain and unable to stand up.
There were pedestrians walking by the roadside, but no one looked at him more, and no one showed the slightest pity.
"It's a thief, but it's ...... It's a little too much!" Sui Xiong couldn't help muttering, "It's enough to beat up, as for the bones!"
"Not necessarily, Your Majesty, you may not have noticed that the gallows just now actually had the crimes of the hanged prisoners, and more than one of them was theft. Ray shook his head and sighed softly, "Probably in this town, stealing is a capital offense." ”
"Stealing something will kill you......?"
"Who knows...... Maybe the lord of this town has his own ideas. "The lord has the power to make and enforce the laws as he pleases, as long as they do not conflict with the laws of his superior lords." As far as I know, there doesn't seem to be a 'thief not to be executed' in the law of the Mystic Tower Federation, so it is perfectly legal for the local lord to stipulate that 'hanging a thief'. ”
"This legal system is terrible!" Sui Xiong complained, and asked Steele to help the kid with his treatment.
Steele's spell was so effective that it was easy for the young pickpocket to come back to health, and he trembled and thanked his big sister who looked elegant and charming, and then hurried away.
"It's nice to have a child who knows how to thank you for a favor. Steele returned to Sui Xiong and commented, "I think he seems to be educated and cultural." I don't know how I fell so hard as to be a thief......"
"Interested in helping him?" Ray asked.
Steele thought for a moment and shook his head: "Everyone has their own life, even if we want to help, we can only help save an emergency." If everyone who is downcast wants to help, it is not something that mortals can do. ”
Sui Xiong was distraught by these words, and waved his tentacles, telling everyone to leave quickly and find someone to inquire about the residence of Knight Parn.
He had made up his mind to find the Knight of Parn and convince him to join his church, and then leave immediately, not spending a day in this terrible city!
