CHAPTER XVII

Innate armor, also known as armor skin, refers to skin that is as tough as armor and can withstand swords. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

This is a rare ability, and with the exception of those powerful magical beasts, it is only possible for a severely trained ascetic, or a veteran warrior who has experienced countless battles.

Because when Sui Xiong "pinched Gerald's face", he made him look quite young, looking like a fledgling young giant, so no one would mistake him for an ascetic or a veteran warrior.

Since it's neither, there's only one last possibility—this young man who looks like he's just a big guy is actually a super powerhouse comparable to Warcraft!

How can those old rivers and lakes who know the goods not be surprised!

Of course, the head guard of the Temple of Justice was also knowledgeable, and when he saw the scene of his arm blocking the knife, he was stunned for a moment and couldn't help but laugh.

"I'm still underestimating you!" he laughed, his pale eyebrows trembling slightly, "So, are you interested in learning some advanced skills, such as cutting down several people with one sword, or launching a second attack immediately after one attack without taking the move, or using a light weapon to play the effect of a heavy weapon, or using a heavy weapon to play the effect of a light weapon...... Etcetera. ”

When Gerard heard this, he was really a little tempted.

He's a seasoned adventurer and knows a lot about combat, but to be honest, he's all a bit of a mass commodity. He had only heard of such methods as "whirlwind attacks", "chain attacks", and "weapons at will" that the captain of the guard had mentioned, but he had never seen them, let alone learned them.

For a warrior, the more advanced and advanced the combat skills he knows, the stronger he is. Those top warriors can even fight legendary monsters with one person and one sword, and thousands of troops can also kill seven in and seven out, and the strength of the combat power is simply perverted.

If he could learn all the things that the captain of the guard said, maybe he would be able to become stronger, so that the gods he believed in would protect him and become a burden to His Majesty......

Thinking of this, his heart was hot, and he couldn't help but agree to the old guard's suggestion, but after thinking about it, he swallowed back the words that were about to come to his mouth.

The sovereign he serves is not the well-known gods of this world, but a newborn god. If you want to learn from a teacher, you must go to the temple of the god of justice for a while, and if you are found out, it will not cause trouble for Your Majesty!

He was startled and hurriedly refused.

The old guard couldn't help but feel a little regretful when he saw that he seemed to be excited, but for some reason he gave up. But as a believer in the God of Justice, of course, he could not do anything to force others to apprentice, so he had to tell Gerald to come to the temple at any time if he was interested, and he went away.

This old man has a lot of prestige in the town, and even he failed to solicit him, and the rest of the people who were interested in Gerald stopped trying to solicit him, but let Gerald finally have a good time. He carried a small bag on his back, walked casually on the street, and before he knew it, he came to a large wooden sign.

The wooden sign is erected in a prominent position in the square in the center of the town. The wooden plaques are pasted with large and small pieces of cloth, some of which are only written with words, while others are full of pictures and texts. There was also a clever teenager guarding him. From time to time, someone went to the wooden sign to take a closer look, and then went to the young man to inquire about it, and someone stuffed him with a silver coin or two, and business was quite prosperous.

"What is that doing?" Sui Xiong asked.

"Your Majesty, that's the bounty bar, all kinds of big and small bounties, as long as they are not shady, will be released here. That young man is from the Adventure Guild, and he is in charge of the early contact here, and by the way, he sells a little news. "Gerald knows these things well, after all, he's been an adventurer himself.

Sui Xiong roughly understood, he was a little curious about this kind of employment system, so he divided his spirit and carefully looked at the task list on the wooden card. After a while, he suddenly saw Gerald's portrait on a piece of cloth.

That's what Gerard looked like "before his death", two pictures, one is a close-up of the face, and the other is a portrait of the whole body, in general, the painting is very good, and he doesn't use much brush, but he accurately grasps Gerald's physiognomy and features, which makes it easy to identify. Sui Xiong felt that even if the brother who painted these two portraits traveled to Earth, the ability to paint portraits alone would be enough to set up a stall in a tourist attraction to eat—like his brother who was also bald.

However, his senior brother, whose pen name Hua Siyuan, set up a stall in Tiananmen Square, and was able to set up a stall in the core area of a large country, which shows that his skills are extraordinary, and he belongs to the strongest king among street painters. In contrast, the brother of this portrait is at the level of luxurious platinum, and he can only go to Badaling to set up a stall and make hard-earned money in the sun and wind.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but laugh.

"Is there anything funny, Your Majesty?" asked Gerald.

Sui Xiong pointed to the piece of cloth for him: "Look, there is your bounty." ”

Gerard looked calm, without the slightest surprise: "That's right, my bounty should still be hanging." Let me take a look...... Hah, the bounty has gone up. ”

I saw that on that piece of cloth, there were a few lines of words under the portrait, which roughly meant: bald head Lune, charged with assaulting nobles, wanted by the Blue Moon Kingdom. A bounty of 1,000 gold coins will be awarded to the temple of the god of nobility or the god of commerce with the head of the person.

"One thousand gold coins is equivalent to one hundred thousand copper coins, that's a lot of money! What did you do to provoke such a large bounty?"

"When I was an adventurer, I used the pseudonym Lune - most of us adventurers use pseudonyms to avoid trouble. At that time, we had an adventure party, a total of six people, and we all had a good relationship. Later, during an adventure, a companion was bitten off by a monster, and we needed to scrape together money to send him to the temple to be treated for the rebirth of a severed limb, so we went to pick up a black job of smuggling weapons. As a result, the work is done, and the employers not only do not pay but also want to kill them. After a fierce battle, my teammates died and I was the only one left. Gerard summed up the past of intrigue and betrayal, anger and blood in the simplest words possible, "A viscount died in battle...... That's about it. ”

Sui Xiong was silent for a moment and said, "Good kill! Is there anyone alive at the original enemy?"

"No, we adventurers can't stay overnight. ”

"Well done!"

Gerald scratched his head and smiled.

"Your Majesty, I suggest you take a look at these tasks, some of which may be suitable for us. He advised, "It costs money to build temples, to promote the faith, and to train the priesthood." ”

"I said I wasn't a god, so there's no need to spend all this unjust money......"

"You're going to need to spend that money sooner or later, and there's nothing wrong with being prepared in advance. ”

For Gerald's stubbornness, Sui Xiong was helpless. The biggest fear of being a big guy is to meet loyal and stubborn subordinates, and he can't be reluctant to fight, and it doesn't make sense to say it, especially when the other party puts on a posture of "big guy, I'm for your good", as if he is ready to serve the country with death at any time, except for Emperor Sui Yang and other convulsions whose heads are in water, even those "emperors through the ages" can only shake their heads and sigh and admit concessions.

Anyway, being idle is idle, finding something to do, and passing the time.

Since he decided to do some tasks to make money, Sui Xiong naturally went directly to the task with the highest pay. At the top of the bounty column, there was a piece of cloth that looked a little old, with no pattern on it, only a few lines of words.

Kill the Shadow Demon King, with the magic core as the certificate, the major temples are jointly notarized, and the reward is 100,000 gold coins, plus two customized high-level magic items, after verification, the magic core belongs to the killer.

"This task is not bad, 100,000 gold coins!"

Gerald looked at it and shook his head: "The Shadow Lord is the most famous monster in the eastern region of the Ash Forest, at least a legendary monster, and probably a demigod. There are so many ways to make money, so why fight with a demigod for money?"

"Demigods...... Amazing, right?" Sui Xiong couldn't help but be a little interested, he hadn't met a truly evenly matched opponent since the crossing.

According to Gerald, he estimated that he probably belonged to the demigod-level powerhouse, and the demigod would definitely be able to fight the demigod very happily.

"Your Majesty, we really don't need to provoke that guy in any way!" Gerard was a little anxious, "It's not worth it! even if you want to find an opponent to fight, you can also go to the 'Skeleton Devourer' that can communicate, the Shadow Lord is notoriously evil, and he will definitely use all kinds of intrigues to plot!"

Sui Xiong sighed and stopped discussing the topic. He could see that if he insisted on fighting the Shadow Lord, he was afraid that Gerald would stop him if he killed himself with a knife.

What should I do if my subordinates are too loyal?

Alas...... There is no net!

Skipping this task, there are some other high-priced tasks on the bounty column, one of which Sui Xiong thinks is good:

After the expulsion is completed, the evil dragon "Extreme Cold Tyrant" who lives in the mountains near Dragonroar Town must be brought to the Dragon's Lair by bringing the priests of three different shrines, including the God of Justice, to the Dragon's Lair for verification. The reward for the quest is 5,000 gold coins, and if you don't need reinforcements, you can enjoy all the treasures in the Dragon's Lair.

Gerald was not opposed to this task. As far as he knows, most of the evil dragons are bullying the weak and afraid of the hard, and with the force of His Majesty the "Void Mask", as long as he does not rob the treasure in the dragon's den, he will definitely be able to force the evil dragon to move. In general, these five thousand gold coins are not difficult to earn.

After paying a silver coin, asking for some information from the Adventure Guild Contact, and determining the general location of the dragon's lair, Gerald bought some more necessities for life in the wild, and prepared to leave Pyroxene and head to Dragonroar.

However, he had barely gone far from the town when he stopped.

A carriage that fell to the ground, a group of disorganized merchants, blocked his way.
