Chapter 0288 Road Encounter (Three Watches Asking for a Monthly Pass)
In the forest, a bonfire rises.
Sulu caught a snowcock, disemboweled, cleaned the internal organs, picked some wild mushrooms and stuffed them, sprinkled spices, and slowly roasted them.
It didn't take long for the aroma to overflow.
"Although this world is hard, the ingredients are quite good......
He tore a chicken leg and ate it slowly, not worrying about the wanted on his back.
Wanted in the Middle Ages? It's almost like a joke!
Just an accurate portrait may not be enough even if all the court painters are dialed out!
What's more, as long as he wears a crow covering, and then changes his name, he is suddenly hidden in the vast sea of people.
"As for the castle on the main road...... With my current ability, I can just go if I want. ”
In ancient times, many Jiangyang thieves were discovered, ran slowly, and were locked in the city gate, so they were captured.
But for Sulu, even the tallest walls are just a joke.
What's more, the world is so big, even if you don't pass through the city, there are also mountains to climb!
Therefore, he was not at all worried about the possible fury and pursuit of a duke of the North.
But at this time, he didn't pretend at all, in order to see the energy of the top figures in this world, and to see the real powerhouse!
"Anyway, in the low-magic world, the professional is at most fourth-order, and if you can't beat it, you can run off the ......"
The fragrant and tender chicken and the shiitake mushrooms with the smell of the forest taste are very good.
Halfway through Sulu's meal, he heard the sound of horses' hooves.
A few guys who seemed to be wandering knights were attracted by the fragrance and stopped on the side of the road: "A fragrant roast chicken, even Aunt Sophie may not have such skills." ”
A red-haired young man dismounted and smiled at Sulu, "Hello, I'm Ham Keys!" A wandering knight from Red Rock City in the West...... Can I take a break here? ”
"Of course, please!"
Sulu watched as the young men dismounted, eating the dry food and wine they were carrying, and one of them took out his harp and began to entertain himself:
"Yo...... We are happy riders! ”
"Yo...... We don't want to take prisoners when we fight! ”
"Yo...... We just want the shampas of the ladies...... And also...... Kick the big guy's ass! ”
……
It can be seen that their background should not be very low, after all, ordinary families can not afford horses and weapons, and there is a strong laborer who wanders around all year round.
In addition, I have a certain education and know a little bit of music.
"Do you want wine?"
Ham carried a leather bag and shook it in front of Sulu, his eyes fixed on the remaining half of the roast chicken at the same time.
"No, thank you."
Su Lu refused, looked at the disappointment in the other party's eyes, and handed over a chicken wing: "What are you doing in the north?" ”
"Delicious...... It reminds me of the handiwork of the aunt next door......"
Ham ate the chicken wings in three or two bites, and almost gnawed the bones, licking his fingers reluctantly: "We are wandering knights, we go wherever there is something, I heard that the Northland has some opportunities recently." The cold climate is conducive to honing our bodies and spirits, and when we are skilled in our skills, we want to go to the royal capital and become honorary knights through martial arts tournaments......"
The tournament in the royal capital is the most desirable opportunity for the wandering knights, and the winner will be canonized at least a knighthood of the court, and there will be plenty of opportunities that come with it.
Once in the eyes of a dignitary, it is not a dream to become hereditary.
"Your Majesty the King is Feletlin III, right?"
Sulu recalled what he had seen from the study of the Grand Duke of Wolfsburg and spoke slowly.
Because of the extraordinary existence of this world, the class is solidified, and the Dragonshire Dynasty has barely survived for a thousand years.
Annual plagues, local conflicts, and all sorts of strange and other inexplicable causes cause a large number of people to die, which to a certain extent has played a role in alleviating the contradictions.
Even so, the succession to the throne of the Kingdom of Dragonon has experienced several major twists and turns, and there have been three extinctions.
By now, although the people sitting on the throne are still the descendants of Dragon I, they are no longer the descendants.
In the most recent 'War for the Throne', a large number of nobles rebelled, and eventually a half-breed was supported by several dukes to quell the rebellion and ascend the throne as 'Feletherin I'.
Although he is a descendant of Dragon, he also has the blood of other great nobles such as Running Wolf, Hero, etc.
After all, for a thousand years, the great nobles intermarried with each other, and they were actually relatives.
If it's the Nine Clans, it's almost the kind that can be finished together.
This has created a very interesting phenomenon, although there have been several turmoil, and the nobles have been constantly changing blood, but the people who go up still have part of the original bloodline.
This is also a manifestation of class solidification.
The big nobles will always be the big nobles, the small and medium nobles will always be the small and medium nobles, and the low-level commoners will only have eternal despair unless they become official knights.
This upward channel is also in the hands of the aristocracy, and there are too few and too few real lucky people.
"Yes, to our Majesty the King......"
Ham held the wine bag alof: "He is said to be a benevolent elder...... Although occasionally a little old and confused, haha......"
"Ham, one day, you're going to be hanged for your mouth!"
His companion said with a dark face.
"Haha......"
Sulu laughed.
It is normal for wandering knights to mingle with mercenaries and other 'inferior people' for too long, and their words become vulgar and bold, of course, this is also criticized by the nobles.
After he finished laughing, he suddenly looked into the jungle: "Huh? ”
"What's wrong?" Ham saw his expression and became a little wary.
"I smell blood, we might be in trouble." Sulu said calmly.
"Is it a black bear? We've got four swords! ”
Ham replied excitedly: "A complete black bear skin can be sold for at least five gold coins in the royal capital......"
When you go out, it is inevitable to encounter large beasts such as wild wolves and black bears.
"It seems...... It is not a black bear, and it ...... Very aggressive and already eyeing us! ”
Sulu shrugged his shoulders and continued to eat meat.
"Whew!"
The next moment, from the forest came a howling sound similar to a wolf mixed with a bear's howl.
A dark shadow slowly emerged.
It has the body of a bear, the head of a wolf, several human arms under its ribs, and eight spider-like fluffy legs below its belly.
Looks...... It's like a monster made from a patchwork of various 'materials'!
"It's weird...... Stitching Monster! ”
Ham's face changed, he jumped up, and drew his sword in his hand: "Jorne, take your shield, Laph, prepare your bow and arrows!" ”
