Chapter 39: The Old Drunkard
In the northwest of the kingdom is a desert area, where there is no human land, where the bones of some animals can be seen everywhere, and many explorers are buried in such a barren land that will even face the bad weather of wind and sand every night. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 Info And if the surrounding villagers go back and forth between the villages, they often choose to take a long detour in order to avoid entering this death zone.
At this moment, in the heart of the desert sat a traveler, his eyes closed, and he wrapped himself tightly in some linen rags, so that he could not see his face at all. On either side of him sat two demonic beasts, the Rampage Camel. As a desert ship, the role of the camel is self-evident, its monster species is adapted to the harsh environment, the hump on the back can not only store energy, but also become a giant umbrella for the owner to resist the invasion of the storm, the traveler is now like a stone statue in the protection of two giant umbrellas. However, as its name suggests, this type of monster is very irritable and will often attack other creatures and even its companions.
After a long time, the two beasts suddenly stood up, opened their eyes, and let out a low roar from their mouths, as if some other creature had invaded their territory, and the traveler remained still, as if he had not heard the movement at all.
In a moment, another rampaging camel appeared in the distance, slowly walking towards the traveler, carrying a girl on its back, her purple hair and dark purple pupils, and in her hand a strange weapon, one was a magic staff, and the other was a scythe. These signs fully indicate that she is the princess of spades, Katerina.
"What's the matter, don't you welcome me?" Katerina approached the traveler, only to see her hands stretched out to the two already irritable beasts, and after a moment of caressing, they actually fell silent and fell down again.
"Please, don't choose this kind of place next time, okay!!," Katerina complained, and then she took out a red gem and handed it to the traveler, "I brought you the crimson star you wanted!"
The traveler suddenly opened his eyes, and a thunderous aura of Yuan Li emanated, and what was even more terrifying was that his eyes had no pupils, no whites, only a piece of black, which was covered with dots of bright light, if you looked at him, it was like looking at the vast starry sky.
"Thanks, this is the real Crimson Star. The traveler spoke, but the voice did not sound coming from his mouth, but seemed to come from all directions.
Katerina didn't seem surprised at all, but sat down with a big grin: "Fortunately, I also made a move, otherwise the Phantom might not have succeeded in facing that chaotic situation alone!
"Just write this commission when the knights choose their mission," the ethereal voice sounded again, "On the task board that day, except for this commission, the rest are all tasks that pay very little and are not in the stream." ”
"Wow, you've even got the liaison for the guild branch?" said Katerinachi.
"It's not difficult, it's important to choose which knights to attack in the first place, to make sure they need money urgently, and not too strong, otherwise it won't be easy for your friend to cast spells on him. ”
"It seems that the Knight Guild is not airtight now!" Katerina stood up, patted the sand that stuck to her body, and stretched out her hands to the traveler, "Your request has been completed, but what about mine?"
"Hehe, please wait a few more days. With that, he put away the crimson star, closed his eyes, and turned back into a stone statue......
"Ahh
"Aren't you excited? We can go around and play and make money, this is the ideal life!"
"That being said, but you've been happy all day, don't you feel tired?"
The two teenagers are none other than Bell and Garay. After passing the final test, the cadets said goodbye to each other and went their separate ways, and the two of them, as friends, planned to go to the guild branch together to register as knights. However, Bell wanted to return to the village where he grew up and inform the villagers of this happy event, so Garay was 'invited' by him.
As a villager in Perch Village, Bell was not born there, he had no parents, and even he did not know his origins, but the villagers said that he was picked up by an old drunkard in the village. If you want to talk about how the old drunkard picked up this scoundrel, you have to talk about the old drunkard first, because he is also not a villager in Perch Village.
One day many years ago, a person named Hanako slowly walked at the entrance of the village, he was staggering, his clothes were not covered, his whole body was stinking, a gust of wind blew, and the patches on his clothes were blown down a lot, he picked up one of them and wiped his nose, and then sat down, and smoked down a few geese around him, and he didn't know what nonsense was talking in his mouth.
When the villagers saw that he was pitiful, they wanted to give him something to eat, but they didn't expect this Hanako to want anything, and shouted that as long as he drank, the villagers touched his neck and said to him, "Are you dying and still thinking about drinking?" This frightened the simple villagers, and they quickly called the village chief. The village chief was well-informed, and when he came to see it, he said, "Don't be afraid, this old man is naturally good at wine, as long as he is given wine to drink, he will be fine." So the villagers brought a large barrel of wine and pressed his head directly into the barrel.
The next day, the villagers came to see that the big barrel of wine was empty, and Hanako was curled up in the barrel and fell asleep. The crowd pulled him up and tried to get him out of the village, but when he saw the villagers, he was clamoring for a drink, which was good, and the villagers were dumbfounded, so Hanako saw that he couldn't get the wine, so he simply got back into the barrel and didn't leave.
The villagers had no choice but to call the village chief again, and after the village chief came over, he said that there was no movement for a long time, so he had to call a few strong men who planned to throw people with buckets outside the village. Seeing that everyone was going to make a move, Hanako jumped out at once and yelled at the village chief, "I said that you just have a little bit of fun, not just a few barrels of wine, and the benefits I can bring to you are far more than that!" Seeing that everyone looked at him suspiciously, Hanako shook her head and said unhurriedly, "I saw you go out to sea to fish this morning, and I want me to say that this way of fishing has long been lost!" This remark caused everyone's dissatisfaction, and they gave you food and drink, and they actually pointed fingers at us.
Ignoring the angry gazes of everyone, Hanako rushed to the edge of the beach, grabbed a fishing boat, and pushed it into the sea, and after a while, he actually came back with a boatload of fish, and even almost sank the fishing boat. The villagers immediately looked at each other and were speechless.
Seeing that everyone was deflated, he said proudly: "Look, you just let me live here, and let me drink the wine, and I will go out to sea to fish for you every day!" The village chief calculated, what is it to drink some wine every day, and at this fishing speed, it is more than enough to take some fish out every day to exchange for a few barrels of wine and come back, and immediately patted his thigh and said, "Strong men, build this old man a better wooden house!" After speaking, he left with this Hanako.
Because he forgot his name and was a heavy drinker, the villagers called him an old drunkard. The old drunkard caught a large boat of fish for the village every day, and from time to time he would catch some birds and beasts back, during which several men wanted to secretly follow him to see what method was used, but he didn't expect that he couldn't catch up with him as soon as he went out to sea, so how the old drunkard caught so many fish is still a mystery. After a long time, the villagers got used to his presence, and even if they were sometimes a bit of a scoundrel, they slowly ignored him.
One day, the old drunkard went out as usual to hunt birds and beasts, and when he came back in the evening, he had a baby in his hand, which he claimed had been picked up. The old drunkard said proudly: "When I saw this baby, a wild dog was looking at him with fierce eyes, and the water was so flowing that all the insects on the ground were drowning." At the moment when the puppy pounced, saying that it was too late and that it was too fast, I took an arrow step and probed it with one hand, ......" At this point, he suddenly stopped.
"And then?" Looking at everyone's round eyes, he touched his head, which had only a few hairs, smiled awkwardly, and continued, "Seeing that he was about to grab this dog's tail, but the speed of this wild dog was not slow, the dog's mouth had reached the baby's arm, and he was bitten hard, ouch! I think this child is really miserable, and before he has experienced the joy of life, he was caught by the gods as a doorman, but I didn't expect a card to wipe, the dog's teeth were actually broken, and the wild dog rolled to the side and ran away whining!"
"Ahh
"Hey, I never lie, believe it or not!" said the old drunkard, who was not pleased with the theft, and argued angrily.
"Is there such a strange thing?" the villagers gathered around to look at the baby, touching left and right, this skin was no different from ordinary babies, and when they saw so many people playing with him, the baby cried out with a wow. Then the villagers doubted his words again.
Now the old drunkard was anxious, "Anyway, that's what happened, I don't know why, always... Anyway, what I picked up is mine!" and no matter what everyone said, he picked up the baby and ran back to his cabin.
The village chief consulted with the others, and thought that the old drunkard had no children and regarded the baby as his own. "Forget it, let's wait until someone finds it. The village chief came to a conclusion. Unexpectedly, the wait is several years, and this baby who is said to be invulnerable has become a little scoundrel.
The old drunkard named him Blackbell, saying that when he picked up the baby, he had a small plaque with the name engraved on it. Although not biological, Bell learned the personality of an old drunkard scoundrel from an early age.
Aunt Mary of the village kindly nursed Bell, but when he was three years old, he was still looking for milk to drink, and if it weren't for his young age, Aunt Mary's husband would have thrown him into the mountains. When he was six years old, Uncle Sam's yard often had dead chickens and ducks, and finally found that it was Bell who saw that the adults were very majestic on horseback, and he was too small to ride, so he could only ride chickens and ducks, how could this chicken and duck ride? Later, this guy had to follow the men in the village to go to sea to fish, and the old drunkard wanted him to learn some skills, but he didn't expect that the men sent him back with sad faces in the evening, and it turned out that Bell directly raised a fire on the boat to roast the fish and eat it, and brought one to the old drunkard, and the old drunkard was moved, and slapped him with a big mouth.
Later, the villagers discovered Bell's strengths, his right hand was very powerful, even several times stronger than that of an adult, which also solved some problems for the villagers, such as knocking a hungry tiger unconscious while hunting in the nearby mountains. From then on, everyone believed the broken dog's teeth described by the old drunkard.
Although Bell has grown up, he still can't change his habits as a scoundrel, but he has become more and more bold, touching the widow's ass today, and lying down in someone else's house tomorrow to eat and drink, and some of the children in the village also take his head as a horse, and make the village jump every day, and the old drunkard keeps coming to the door to apologize after he got into trouble, and the next day he catches more fish and comes back, and the kind villagers have no choice but to let him go.
This continued until the return of the village's knights, Neil Rose Bear, who taught the children to practice martial arts, especially Bell, who was considered to have an unusual talent.
One day, an unexpected thing happened in the village, the old drunkard suddenly disappeared, and he left the village of Perch without a word, and no one knew where he had gone. The village chief and Xiong led many villagers to go out to search, but found nothing. From then on, there was no more babbling for wine in the village, and for Bell, from the day the villagers gave up looking, he felt like a real orphan.
Similar to Xiong's experience, Bell was silent for a while, and then made up his mind to go to the Knight Academy, where he trained for three years to become a real knight.
