Once again he came to the little battlefield strewn with corpses, and the strong stench of corpses filled the area, and the crows returned after the rain had ceased to continue their revelry, except that to-day there were new participants, and piles of flies dancing to the stench;
The corpse was white and swollen after being soaked in the rain overnight, and Seta rummaged through the pile of corpses, holding back the discomfort in his stomach and driving away the flies and crows that flew by;
Finally found the Martin Knight in full armor near the center, the body was lying on his stomach, and he was turned over with force, and the master's original hard face was gone, and now it was as disgusting as a white steamed bun that had been blistered;
Ignoring this, Seta took off the family ring on his left hand, which was the symbol of the Martin family, and needed to be brought back to Mrs. Martin;
When he had put the ring close to his body, he searched for it again, and he lifted a knight's sword out of the water; this sword was the pride of the old knight, and the proof of his former knighthood as a knight of the king!
And this sword is good, if you run into a demon on the way back, you should be able to use it;
Standing up and letting out a long breath, the battlefield was not big, there were only more than thirty corpses, but all of them were human corpses, but none of them could see the corpses of demons;
Demons are different from humans, they can advance by devouring their own kind, so if this war is won by the human side and the demons are completely annihilated, the corpse of the demon should be left on the scene;
But the situation in front of me is obviously different from what I just thought, there are still demons alive, and it has devoured the corpses of other demons, but I don't know how many demons are left!
Zou frowned, maybe they're hiding somewhere to advance now?!
No, you have to leave this place immediately! Otherwise, when it returns here after its advancement, it won't be able to deal with an advanced demon by itself!
As for why they returned, because there are a large number of human corpses here, although they can't be advanced after eating, but for demons, human corpses taste very good!
looked at the old knight lying on the ground, staring at a pair of eyes that were abnormally colored because of the soaked water:
Seta crouched down and cut off a handful of his gray-brown hair, and placed it in a close-fitting bag, and with a slap of his hands, closed the old knight's eyelids;
It is a tradition in this world that when a warrior dies and it is inconvenient to transport the body back, he brings back a small handful of his hair to his family, symbolizing that his soul has returned to his hometown to rest in peace;
There can be no further delay, that demon will appear at any time!
Seta turned and ran out of the battlefield, stopping at the edge of the woods and turning his head to look:
Farewell, my newborn place!
As soon as he turned around, he disappeared into the woods;
One night was enough time for Seta to master this young and strong body;
This body is very young, only sixteen years old to be exact! It is a freeman of Martin Manor, don't think that the status of freedmen is not high, you must know that there are more than 300 people in the whole manor, and there are only two freemen;
Seta was because their family had served the Martin family for three generations, and his father had given his life to save the Martin knight on a certain battlefield, and the Martin family rewarded Seta for promoting him to a free man;
From then on, he was free to choose his profession and to decide to move in and out, which of course required a tax;
Originally, Setta's choice was to become an attendant of the Martin Knight!
This is a good starting point, and the lucky ones did not cross over as serfs or tenants;
Seta jumped and ran quickly in the woods, the grass and trees on both sides retreated rapidly, and it was already noon, and the sun had risen to its highest, and the sunlight shone through the layers of obscured leaves, leaving only small pillars of bright light;
"Poof~!" A snake hidden under the leaves was nailed to the tree by a long sword, and suddenly a warm current spread in his body, and Seta clenched his fist and felt that he was stronger again;
It was on the edge of a stream, and Seta carried the snake to the water's edge, peeled and cleaned it, and soon skewered the snake's flesh on a stick, and then two or three stones were swung around, and in the middle of a few stones were put some dry leaves and hay, and the flint was taken out and lit three or two times, and the meat skewers were roasted;
The snake meat does not have much fat, and gradually has a fragrance under the licking of the tongue of fire;
Seta took another large rock and placed it beside the fire, and sat down with his legs bent;
His crossing golden finger, or ability, has been roughly figured out, and in simple terms, it is devouring:
devouring the vitality of animals and feeding themselves;
When you have an injury, you will recover from the injury, which is equivalent to a panacea, and the puncture wound on the waist yesterday can be a good illustration of this effect, after all, it is normal to cure this injury, unless there is a priest who uses magic magic;
If there is no injury in the body, then the absorbed life force will be used to strengthen oneself, increase strength, strengthen physique, and speed up;
Clenched your fists, but I just don't know if there is an upper limit to this enhancement?
"Smack!" a drop of grease fell on the fire, and a smell came, and Seta touched his stomach, and ate a few skewers of roasted meat, drank a few sips of water by the stream, and filled the water bag again;
Stand up and douse the fire with water:
"Let's go back first! After all, this status of a free man will still be useful in the future."
、、、、、、
The village of Martin is located on the lower reaches of the Temple River and is the hereditary fief of the Knight of Martin;
In the evening, the Temple River, although sparkling in the afterglow of the setting sun, the dark red sky in the distance seemed to indicate that this was ominous;
The village by the river gradually had a dim glow of fire, and the green smoke of the wood was fully burned, rising into the air along the stone and mud pipes, and gradually dispersed;
It is about to get dark, and you must finish your meal and put it up before the sun goes down, and then go to bed, or you will have to light a precious oil lamp, which no one would have done so stupidly and extravagantly;
It was a peaceful evening, just like ever!
A winding yellow mud path stretched from the distant forest to the entrance of the village, and not many people would come to this village, because the lord Martin's family lived in the village, and every time the tax was paid directly to the lord, and the tax collectors in the city would not come;
As for the merchants, Martin's Manor has no special products, and they will not come here without the benefits they want;
But at the gate of the village there was a village guard with a pitchfork, and his name was Quentin;
He was old, with a gray beard, and everyone called him Old Quentin, and he was not taken with him on this expedition by the Martin Knights:
"Old Quentin is too old, he is going to stay at home and rest" this is what the old knight himself said to old Quentin;
The old Quentin family has been a guardian of the Martin family for generations, and the old Quentin feels that this is the honor of their family, and he hopes that his son Quentin Jr. will continue to do the same, even his grandson, who has no name yet, he plans it this way!
His arms were still very thick, but they had lost the luster of his youth, and he was leaning against the thick wooden railing, with a cigarette in his mouth, muttering inaudible tunes, squinting slightly, wondering what he had cooked tonight?
A figure approached from the end of the path at the edge of the forest in the distance;
Old Quentin hurriedly put out the cigarette and put it away, and looked hard, it was the Seta boy!
But didn't he follow the knights? Why did he come back now?
"Hey, Setta, what are you doing back?"
Old Quentin's voice was so loud that it could be heard far away, but I don't know if the man didn't hear it, and he didn't reply, and the old Quentin didn't scream anymore, he took out his cigarette again, lit it, took a deep breath, and slowly exhaled a faint smoke ring:
If there is anything to say, it will be the same to ask again when he gets nearer;
The man walked slowly to the entrance of the village, and the cigarette in the old Quentin's mouth fell to the ground:
"Little Seta, what's going on?" Thinking of a possibility, his eyes widened instantly:
"Where's the knight?!"
Pretending to be tired, he glanced at the old man:
"Old Quentin, take me to Madame!
Old Quentin was frightened by the situation he had thought of, and he suddenly didn't know how to place his hands and feet, and when he heard Seta's words, he quickly nodded:
"Yes, yes, let's go see Madame Knight!"
Without hesitating to look at the door, Quentin the elder closed the wooden railing, locked the clasp, and walked with Seta towards the middle of the village, where the house of the knight Martin was;
When he arrived at the door of the house, old Quentin took Seta's hand and asked with a worried face:
"Little Seta, they're all right, right? It must be like this, right?!"
Seta looked deeply at old Quentin, did not speak, went into the courtyard, and said to a strong woman chopping wood on the ground:
"Anna, I want to see Madame, there is a military intelligence report!"
The stout Anna looked at Seta's torn leather armor, his hollowed pants, and the sword on his back;
"Bang!" the axe fell to the ground, and two fat hands covered his mouth;
