CHAPTER XVIII
The town of Huishi is built on a mountain, surrounded by mountains on three sides, and there is only one road to enter and exit. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info this road is not wide, and it can accommodate two carriages in parallel.
At this moment, a fallen carriage was crossing the road, and a group of merchants were stopped, trying to lift the carriage up. Pedestrians were also stopped on the road, unable to advance or retreat. For a while, the scene was chaotic, shouting, scolding, and quarreling were mixed together, and some of them were angry, and they seemed to be about to fight.
"Why is it so troublesome!" Gerald frowned and leaned over. Although the crowd was noisy, when he saw such a super big man coming over, he honestly separated the two sides and made way for him.
But he didn't know that in the crowd, there was a pair of malicious eyes watching him.
The "car accident" on the road was actually arranged by the vice president of the Thieves Guild of Pyroxene Town, in order to test the strength and character of the giant. He has always been cautious, and he will never take it easy until he has figured out the details of his target.
The carriage that fell was a wagon, loaded with iron ore and the like. Although the goods were scattered on the ground, the body was not broken, which shows that the materials used are quite solid. However, the horse pulling the cart had fallen and was unable to get up.
Gerald frowned, walked over and grabbed the frame with one hand, and with a little force he turned the carriage over with half a cart of goods. The people around him were dumbfounded, and some even pinched their cheeks with their hands, thinking they were dreaming.
The wagon was made of plenty of material, and the load-bearing parts such as the wheels were arm-thick hardwood, and the goods on the carriage were ore that was notoriously heavy. This car with goods, I'm afraid there are not three or four thousand catties. However, in front of this giant, it seems to be light and weightless, and it can be lifted with one hand.
"This guy has a lot of strength!" someone exclaimed.
"What a giant!" someone admired.
And some experienced adventurers were even more surprised - the giant clan is born with strong strength, but even the best of the giants, the big guy known as the "mountain giant", generally only lifts two or three thousand catties, and it is absolutely impossible to lift such a half of the cargo with the car together!
In other words, this big man is not only a giant, but also a high-level adventurer.
Veteran adventurers tend to have much more strength than ordinary people, but they have more strength than ordinary people, and even among adventurers, only some people who emphasize strength can do it. If you consider that this thousand catties of power is more than ordinary giants, it will be even more terrifying.
Because...... The more outstanding the innate conditions, the slower the rate of acquired growth......
Seeing Gerrard's performance, "Gray Eyes" trembled with fright, and felt that his legs were a little weak. At this moment, he was extremely glad that he had only brought a few thieves with him, and not the thugs of the Thieves' Guild, otherwise, maybe those bastards who had grown their muscles into their heads would have plotted when Gerard came to the front of the carriage.
What's the difference between that and sending you to death!
Not to mention that this big man is a powerful adventurer of the giant clan, even if it is an ordinary race, the strength of this thousand catties alone is enough to prove his strength. Even if the entire Thieves Guild in Pyroxene Town is joined by the old and young, it may not be able to win......
Gerald didn't know that someone was calculating him, nor did he know how great the shock his terrifying power had brought to the enemy, and his attention was now focused on the old horse that had fallen to the ground.
This horse is not gray, and there are many old and new scars on his body, which shows that he has gone through a lot of hardships. It's trying to get up, but to no avail. If you look closely, you seem to have broken your back, your two hind legs are no longer moving, but your front legs are still struggling, and your eyes are full of pain and misery, which makes people feel pity.
Gerald sighed, suffering from this injury, neither man nor horse can be saved, all he can do is help it relieve its pain.
Since his resurrection, he has become more and more able to feel the pain of others, and his compassion has grown. However, no matter how much he sympathized, he could not help the poor beast.
"You want to save it?" asked Sui Xiong.
Gerard was taken aback and asked, "Your Majesty, will you help this poor fellow?"
Sui Xiong smiled: "To be honest, I don't have much sympathy for animals, but if you want to save it, I'm willing to help you." ”
"Your Majesty, your kindness is as warm as the sun!"
"Alright, stop slapping the horse, put your hand on the horse's wounds, and I'll use your magic with the help of the bone bracelet to help it heal. Sui Xiong smiled and said, "To be honest, this guy is a little seriously injured, and I'm not very sure, but you can try it anyway, it's better than letting it wait for death." ”
Under Sui Xiong's command, Gerald crouched down and pressed his right hand wearing a bone bracelet on the back of the gray horse. Then the blood in his body stirred, mobilizing some of the magic stored in the demon core and infiltrating the gray horse's body. Under Sui Xiong's precise control, these magic powers are like small and ingenious machines, straightening the injured and misplaced bones of the gray horse one by one, and reconnecting the broken muscles, blood vessels and nerves, and finally transforming them into abundant vitality, nourishing its body, promoting the growth of muscles, and regrowing the injured parts.
After just half a minute, the gray horse, which had been dying, let out a long neighing of joy and stood up again.
"Oh my God, what did I see?!!" someone exclaimed.
"Is this big man a priest?, and there are priests among the giants?" a veteran adventurer couldn't help but doubt his eyes.
"And...... The priest's healing spell comes from the gods, which god is so loving that he spends his divine power on healing a horse's wounds? Is it the god of centaurs?"
"Phew, the centaur god is a demon, okay! He will only ask the believers to take people for blood sacrifices......"
"Is it a druid?"
"Haven't heard of the giants or druids......"
"But I've never heard of a priest in the Giants. ”
"The druids don't cast spells to save an old horse, they just help the old horse to free it. Have you ever come into contact with a druid?"
In the crowd, gray-eyed eyes widened like pigeon's eggs, staring at the bone bracelet on Gerald's wrist.
Just now, because he wanted to assist Gerald in casting spells, Sui Xiong's power came out from the bone bracelet, and he saw some clues.
"There was an extremely powerful idea on that bracelet, so powerful that it could even cast a healing spell! No, it wasn't an ordinary healing spell, it was a healing spell, it was a healing spell that could heal broken bones, torn muscles, and even connect severed hands and feet! That horse's spine must have been broken before, and it was healed so quickly...... This giant is not a priest, he is a god! It was the god he believes in who has just done it! The bone bracelet is a sacred relic of their sect! God, I want to steal a holy relic that has the heart of a true god lodged! Thankfully I haven't done it yet...... It must have been the Golden Finger (the god of thieves) who protected me from making a fatal mistake......"
He suddenly came to his senses, hurriedly closed his eyes, did not dare to look at the bone bracelet that contained the will of the gods, and turned away directly. Before leaving, don't forget to send a message to your subordinates and ask them to retreat together.
After a while, he returned to the Thieves' Guild in Pyroxene and reported the incident to the guild leader with a pale face.
"What?!A holy relic that houses the thoughts of the true gods?!" The old man, who had always been calm, was so frightened that his heart stopped beating for half a beat, "Are you sure you're right?"
"You can't be wrong!" the vice president assured categorically, "What kind of spell is this, if you think you can heal a broken spine in a few words?"
Without waiting for the president to speak, he continued: "Restoration Technique! It is a more advanced divine technique than the healing technique and the healing technique, and ordinary priests cannot perform it at all, even if they are powerful, they must hold the Holy Emblem and pray for a period of time before they can cast it. And the druids, they would only take longer to cast the spell - but the giant simply omitted the process...... This is completely unreasonable, and the only explanation is that it was not him who cast the spell at all, but the idea inside the bone bracelet. ”
"Perhaps...... The bone bracelet is a powerful magical item that can produce healing effects equivalent to restoration......" The guild leader muttered, "I've never heard of such a magical item, but maybe the druids can make something like this......"
Gray Eyes shook his head again and again, and asked, "President, no matter how powerful a magic item is, the number of spells that can be cast per day is limited. In the case of recovery surgery, it is estimated that it will only be done once or twice a day. If you had such a treasure, would you waste one or two of its only chance a day to heal a horse?"
"Of course not!"
"yes, no one. Even the most loving people would never dare to waste it when they were about to leave town and step into the wilderness. The vice president sighed and said, "The only ones who can care so little about waste are those great beings with endless divine skills. ”
For a while, there was silence in the hut, and the first and second leaders of the Thieves Guild in Pyroxene Town looked at me, and I looked at you, looking at each other.
After a while, the president laughed dryly and said, "It's okay...... We haven't had time yet. ”
"yes! It's good we didn't have time to make a move. The vice president looked happy, "Thank God!"
"Wait...... I have another idea. "The cunning boss rolled his eyes, but he had a bad idea," you say...... If we leak some of the information to our old rivals, what will happen?"
The gray-eyed eyes gradually lit up, the corners of his mouth curled slightly, and he smiled.
"President, this is a brilliant idea! With the greed and viciousness of those guys, they will definitely attack this lone giant......"
"Otherwise, I'm the president, and you're just the vice president!" the president laughed, "I can't wait to see those bastards hit their heads on rocks and bleed!"
Inside the hut, two cunning foxes laughed together.
On the road outside the town, Sui Xiong was warning Gerald: "Be careful, someone was spying on you just now, I'm afraid they want to plot against you." It was only later that I probably saw that your strength was extraordinary, so I knew that it was difficult to retreat. ”
His perception was much stronger than Gerald's, and the hostility of the Thieves' Guild was detected by him almost immediately. It's just that since the other party didn't turn hostility into killing intent, and he didn't take actual action, he was just too lazy to do it.
If you don't shoot, you can't make a move, and the necessary reminders are still indispensable.
He saw that Gerald's bald man (no, he wasn't bald anymore) was becoming more and more pleasing to the eye, and of course he didn't want an accident to happen to his right-hand man.
In fact, he has found that it seems, seems, maybe...... Gerald is actually quite good!
