The barking and shouting of dogs are all in one. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
"Traveler Sui Xiong MK5" gasped for breath, leaned under a big tree, and sat down despite the snow on the ground.
He pulled out a leather bag containing spirits and rinsed the wound on his left arm, the pain so severe that he couldn't help but grin.
Only when the wound was washed clean and made sure it did not become infected, did he take out a clean cloth and carefully bandage the wound.
These things can take a lot of time, but they are essential in order to be in good shape.
If he wants to escape for a long time in this icy and snowy place, or even run all the way out of the Gold Federation and to the Ash Forest, he must ensure that he is in good shape, otherwise he will die on the road sooner or later.
"It's not easy to cross over once, how can I die here!" Even if he was on the verge of despair, he was not discouraged, and encouraged himself with a smile, "Sui Xiong, Sui Xiong, you are a person who wants to be a hero, you are chased and killed by a group of dogs, and if you die in the forest, I'm so sorry for this name!"
Naxue wiped his face, refreshed himself, and ate some dry bread in the snow, and felt that his body had recovered a little, so he did not delay any longer, and continued on his way, all the way north.
He had to walk through this forest to reach the northern part of the Gold Federation. As for how to cross the interceptors who may have been waiting for him there after arriving in the northern part of the Gold Federation, to the Ash Forest, a paradise for adventurers, that was a matter of later.
Walking alone in the mountains and forests, he was wounded and lacked the necessary equipment. It's a hard job, but he has to persevere.
"This guy is a monster!" a few days later. About twenty or thirty miles away, a group of adventurers looked at the footprints in the snow. Look at each other.
They are bounty hunters who specialize in hunting down criminals, and they don't know how many times they have caught those guys on the bounty penalty, dead or alive, and exchanged them for bounties. The criminal who was going to be chased this time was not a professional habitual offender, so it should not be difficult to deal with, but I didn't expect that after chasing for so many days, I couldn't catch up!
"Those noble soldiers can't hold it anymore. "Said a very thin adventurer," said the knight who led the group. They're ready to withdraw and leave the task to us. ”
"What? their lord's son was killed, and he wanted to go back before he caught the murderer?" the adventurer who led the group was taken aback, "Isn't he afraid that he will be beheaded when he returns?"
"This army is also important to the viscount, and it cannot afford to lose. The eldest adventurer said, "If you lose this army, the viscount will lose a lot." He had three sons, but only such an elite army. ”
"No, no, no, you're wrong. The army is definitely his. A son is not necessarily his seed. ”
The bounty hunters all laughed maliciously.
After laughing for a while, the leader pointed ahead and ordered to continue the pursuit.
Whether the Viscount's dead ghost son is his own seed or not, that's someone else's business. For them. The most important thing is to catch up with this fugitive who killed the nobleman and take the head to receive the reward!
And at this time, the Gerten Collar located on the east side of the forest. The lord, Baroness Gerten, was looking at a letter she had just received.
The letter was from a viscount on the west side, and it said. His second son was recently killed by a murderous gangster, who may have fled into the forest. If the murderer escapes to Gerten. Hope to be able to help with the hunt.
"This guy's second son...... Isn't that the one who likes to keep wolves?" asked the lord, Lady Orion, after a deep sigh.
"Auntie, you have a good memory!" said her secretary, who was also a member of the Gerten family, and was a generation younger than her in terms of seniority, "even remembering the things of that fellow, and worthy of being the elector of the 'Great Educator'!"
"Great Educator" is the title that the god of knowledge Walr has just received in the past two years, and compared with the previous titles, this title is obviously more understandable, and it has quickly been popularized and promoted, and has now become his most common pronoun.
Orianne smiled slightly, looked at the letter, and frowned again.
The letter was brief, but her instincts told her that things weren't that simple.
How could an adventurer kill the son of a lord? Even though he was only the second son, he was also a nobleman!
The killing of nobles by commoners is an unforgivable capital crime. That adventurer would definitely not have done such a thing if he hadn't had an absolute reason!
"You go check it out. She said to her nephew, "I always felt that there was something wrong with this. ”
The nephew left in response and rushed back at dinner time to report the results of the investigation.
It turned out that the second son of that viscount got a very rare breed of wolf some time ago. He is not big, and his whole body is snow-white, almost like a snow sculpture, and it is very beautiful. He was very fond of the wolf and often took it for walks in his territory. Not long ago, for some reason, the wolf got into a fight with a dirt dog while walking. Because of his small size, he actually fell into the disadvantage and was bitten several times. Although the guards quickly arrived and killed the dog, the little white wolf had already been bitten in a key part and was about unharmed, but it was impossible to expect it to breed and give birth to a large pack of wolf cubs.
The lord's second son was very angry and hanged the family of five of the owner of the earth dog in the name of "damaging the lord's property". As a result, the next day, when he habitually took his wolf for a walk, he was grabbed by an adventurer who suddenly rushed out of the roadside, dragged the knife holder around his neck, and dragged it to the family who was still hanging on the gallows.
Of course, the guards immediately attacked the murderer, but the murderer was worthy of the person who had entered the main competition in the world's first martial arts tournament a few years ago, and his skills were unimaginably strong. Although he was wounded in several places, he actually broke out of the encirclement and walked away.
Of course, the viscount could not let go of the murderer of his son, not only sent elite troops to chase and kill, but also recruited a group of well-known bounty hunters, and the two sides should still be chasing in the forest.
After listening to this, Lady Orion was silent for a moment and sighed.
"Look. She told her relatives who were dining with her, "Even if you are a nobleman, if you don't do things too well, you will encounter brave assassins." In this world, there will never be a shortage of heroes who are willing to sacrifice their lives for justice!"
"But his actions were wrong. The secretary said, "No matter what the reason, it is not possible to assassinate a nobleman!"
Baroness Orion nodded, then sighed again.
"It's a pity for this person!"
After a few more days, the tired and hungry "Sui Xiong" finally walked out of the forest.
He arrived in a small village, stayed in a hotel, and slept all day.
After waking up, having eaten a little and tidying up a little, he left straight away and continued his journey north.
However, this time he was not able to go very far.
When he came to a three-way intersection, a knight who seemed to have been waiting here for a long time stood up and blocked his way.
"I've been waiting for you for a long time. The knight said, "Well's rested, isn't it?"
Looking at the white scales and shield symbols on the other party's chest, Sui Xiong sighed.
This is a holy warrior who believes in the god of justice and law, and when faced with lawbreakers, they have a special magic that can increase their strength and greatly reduce the strength of their enemies.
What's more, this person's face, he has an impression. At the last jousting tournament at the Void Mask Playground, he had seen this man.
"I've seen you at jousting tournaments. He said, "You've won one, haven't you?"
"What a memory!" the paladin nodded, "I remembered that you also participated in that tournament when you said that. ”
That being said, there was no change in his posture, and it was clear that he didn't relax in the slightest.
Sui Xiong sighed deeply and asked, "I have a few partners who are adventuring together, will they be implicated?"
The Holy Warrior of the God of Justice frowned, and after a while, said, "Your companions will be in great trouble, strictly speaking, even the owner of the inn from before will be in trouble. ”
"That's not right. Sui Xiong smiled, "I killed the people, and before that I had already broken up with them because of a quarrel while drinking." As for the boss, he was deceived by me and was also a victim. ”
The paladin looked at him deeply, and after a long time, sighed heavily.
"I see. He said, "This testimony has been recorded, rest assured." ”
Sui Xiong smiled and stretched out his hand: "Then, do what you have to do." ”
The paladin saluted him and tied him with the magic ropes he had prepared.
Later, Sui Xiong was tried in this territory, and this criminal shocked the lord, especially the way he smiled and calmed when he was on trial, which made the lord even more dumbfounded.
In his impression, after the perpetrator was caught, he looked trembling and panicking, how could he be calm like this?
Also, aren't those criminals trying to bite others, trying to mitigate their crimes, or at least dragging others to die with them? Why does this guy deliberately take all the blame on himself?
"What's going on?" he asked, confused.
The captain of the guard, who had grown up with him since he was a child, that is, the paladin, sighed heavily: "A good man, but unfortunately he broke the law. ”
The lord thought about it, understood, and sighed heavily.
"Hanging!" he declared, "no need to send it to the victim, just carry it out here!"
Sui Xiong seemed very calm until he died, and when the executioner put the rope around his neck, his hands and legs trembled slightly, but he still had the heart to tell jokes to the executioner.
"Brother, it's trapped. He said, "Don't throw me off." ”
He found the word "trapped" funny and couldn't help but laugh.
Then the smile froze on his face, and it didn't fade until he died. (To be continued.) )
