Chapter 748: Morning Luck
"Did you find anything good?" asked Leo, looking at Sylvia as she walked by.
"A box of gems. Sylvia handed the box to Leo and said, "It's a little smaller, but it should be able to exchange a lot of money." ”
Leo took the box and looked at the gems inside, as Sylvia said, these were a little smaller, and should be the leftovers of other gemstones, although this is not as valuable as the whole gem, but some jewelry processors will need such crushed gems to decorate their jewelry.
"It seems that you got the most out of this trip, I only got a few books. Leo handed the books to Sylvia, then turned his head to look around, and said: "The reason why this place is under key protection is because of those medicinal herbs and books, but unfortunately these two most precious things have been damaged due to poor protection, and finally left the most worthless things." ”
"It's already good to be able to have a harvest," Sylvia flipped through the books casually, handed them back to Leo, and said: "Maybe these books are very precious, and the materials used to make them have also undergone special embalming treatment, and the few books that have been treated so carefully by the master here should not be ordinary books if you think about it, maybe they hide the mystery of the extraordinary power of the elven kingdom." ”
Leo smiled and took the copies, noncommittal to Sylvia's words.
The two searched around the basement again, and found nothing else before turning to leave.
After returning to the ground, Leo closed the entrance again, although the water in the pool was exhausted, and the stone slab at the entrance was somewhat eye-catching, but after a few days the pool was completely dry, and with some dust, it could be seen that there were not many people who had an entrance here.
The two returned to the ruined camp, and some of them asked in a mocking tone if they had found the treasures of the Elven Kingdom.
Leo and Sylvia both calmly said nothing to the teasing, took the two roasted rabbits from the caravan cook's hands, sat down on the blankets they had laid out before, and enjoyed them.
Seeing that Leo and Sylvia did not refute, everyone was also bored, and no one said anything to the two of them, and they each talked about their own affairs.
After dinner, the caravan was filled with bards, who took the opportunity to sing several popular poems, such as the prophecy of the hoarfrost, the demise of Sintra, and the story of the witcher.
Because the bard seemed to have only these few songs, and the caravan people were tired of hearing them, no one cared about him.
However, Leo was interested in the bard, and as he was packing up his harp, he greeted him and asked him to come over.
Seeing Leo, a foreigner, beckoning him over, the bard sensed that his opportunity to make money had come, and hurriedly approached him, and asked flatteringly, "Do you want to listen to the song?"
"It's not. Leo shook his head, and when the other party showed a look of disappointment, he asked, "It doesn't seem like your accent is from Towcent?"
"I am a northern Povis, the northernmost kingdom. The bard, seeing that Leo had no intention of listening to the song, cooled down, and replied very briefly.
Leo asked, "From the northern country to the southern Tausent, it seems that you must have experienced many countries and seen many things, right?"
The bard, who seemed to realize what Leo was trying to do, became more enthusiastic again, and asked, "Does this gentleman want to hear stories? You must know that I have been to more than a dozen countries, Retania, Leiria, and Livia, and if it were not for the financial problems, I would have been writing my collection of folk tales of the northern kingdoms at the University of Ausenfurt." ”
"Since you have been to so many places in the northern kingdoms, tell me about the northern kingdoms!" said Leo, taking out a golden shield, handing it over, and saying, "This is your reward. ”
The bard hurriedly took the gold shield, although this currency was not the currency of Tousent, but the gold was real, and this gold coin was already his monthly reward for the past, and his heart was naturally overjoyed.
However, he still has a good work ethic, and after the surprise, he quickly suppressed the joy in his heart, let his emotions return to calm as much as possible, and then asked Leo what he wanted to listen to first, and began to talk about his native Povis in the north.
Leo and Sylvia listened very carefully, and every time the bard finished talking about a country, they would ask some questions, which were all common-sense questions and did not involve any state secrets, and the bard was naturally not stingy in answering.
Because there was a lot of content, the bard talked for hours on end, and Leo bought two small barrels of wine to moisten the bard's throat before he could continue.
After the other party had told him something about the Nilfgaard Empire, it was already midnight, most of the people were already asleep, and the bard was too tired to do anything, feeling that it was not worth it to just receive Leo a gold coin.
However, when Leo took out another gold coin to thank him for his story, the bard was in a much better mood and secretly decided to write a poem for the two generous strangers.
Leo didn't know what the bard was planning, and even if he did, he just laughed it off and didn't take it seriously, he was now carefully remembering what the bard had just said about the countries, systems, people, customs, and so on of this world, and the main ones were the things about the witchers and warlocks.
Originally, Leo just wanted to hear about the world from this bard, but what he didn't expect was that this bard still gave him a little unexpected surprise, that is, this bard once stayed in the same caravan with a witcher called the white wolf, and something happened.
From this bard, Leo learned a few things about the witcher, such as the appearance of the witcher, such as the swordplay of the witcher, etc., but the most important thing is the attitude of the people of this world towards the witcher.
Originally, Leo thought that the attitude of the people of this world towards elves and other non-humans was bad enough, but what he didn't expect was that these people would have an even greater dislike for demon hunters, and in their mouth, those witchers were a group of freaks, and all the ugly things in the world were concentrated on the witchers, as if as long as they looked at the witchers one more and said a word to the witchers, they would be poisoned.
It's just that from the bard talking about the things that the witchers do, it seems that these witchers are all warm-hearted and good people, who only charge a very small amount of money to deal with some dangerous monsters, and sometimes they don't even charge money, and they also pay the victims who are attacked by monsters, and they can't connect with the freaks in these mouths.
Although he didn't understand why the people here hated witchers so much, Leo knew that his desire to disguise the witcher was in vain, and although he was able to perfectly disguise himself as a witcher with the magic seal of the witcher, he had no choice but to give up this best disguised identity due to the situation of the witcher in this world.
The second half of the night was very calm, the experienced wandering knights arranged for their attendants to be in charge of the vigil, and the caravan also arranged some people to assist, although there was some unusual movement in the woods not far in the middle, but they were very careful not to go up to check the situation, but burned the bonfire more vigorously, and the abnormal situation passed quickly.
In the early morning, when the sun was shining on his face, Leo woke up, and he gently removed Sylvia's head from his arm, got up from the blanket, found a container, and went to the creek outside the ruins to get freshening water.
At this time, the wandering knights also got up early, freshened up by the brook, and did some routine training.
When Leo filled the container with water and was about to return to the ruins, the newcomer among the wandering knights couldn't help but shout at Leo: "Mr. Leo, you said that you are the knight of Flange, and I also want to see the swordsmanship of the Knight of Fran, I wonder if there is such an honor to be able to compete with you?"
Leo stopped and looked at him, and said, "Forget it!"
"What, are you afraid of losing?" the newcomer provoked Leo, and at this time, the wandering knights around him also looked over, as if they were watching the excitement, which also made the newcomer feel that he had rarely received attention, so he felt that he had done the right thing, and his face was even more meaningful.
Leo was silent for a moment, looked at the wandering knights around him who were smiling and watching the excitement, and said, "I just think it's too boring to compete with you alone, if you want to compete, you guys together! I'll deal with all of you alone." ”
Leo's words naturally aroused the displeasure of all the wandering knights, and they all drew their weapons one by one, shouting for him to look good.
The knight's shout also reached the ruins above, and the caravan men ran out to see what was going on, and found that the wandering knights were drawing their knightly swords, and gesturing at the foreigner, as if something was going to happen, and the bard, who had received a lot of benefits last night, immediately ran to call Sylvia, and Sylvia was unimpressed, and walked slowly to the outside of the ruins, standing on a high place where he could see the whole territory below, without the slightest idea of going down to fight.
Below, Leo ignored the clamor of the wandering knights, turned his head to Capello, the old knight who had always looked solemn, and asked, "I don't have a suitable weapon at hand now, can your Excellency lend me a sword?"
The old knight Capello was silent for a moment, nodded, and said, "I have two swords, which one do you want to use?"
"Both, I'm using dual swords. Leo walked over, took the two knights' swords from the old knight's hand, and walked back to the wandering knights, and without drawing the sword from its scabbard, he said to the men, "Let's go! Don't waste everyone's time." ”
Seeing Leo behave like this, several wandering knights were furious, and they no longer thought about anything else, and each drew their long swords, ready to teach the foreigner in front of them a good lesson, and completely forgot who opened the provocation.
It's just that even though they were very angry, these wandering knights still didn't choose to besiege, but let the newcomer who was the first to provoke strike first to test the details of the other party.
The newcomer didn't think much about it, he directly drew his long sword and rushed towards Leo, and he had the momentum to knock Leo down alone.
It's just that although the sword of this wandering knight is fierce, it is not fast, and Leo easily dodges it, and then Leo just inserts the long sword in his hand into the opponent's feet, and the other party can't control the momentum, his foot is tripped, and he falls heavily to the ground.
"I said, let's go up together, let's take it as a morning exercise and move our bodies. Leo didn't look at the wandering knight who fell behind him, and raised the long sword in his hand towards several other wandering knights, and said.
The other wandering knights were not the kind of newcomers who were just starting out, they had experienced a lot of battles, and their vision was naturally not comparable to that of newcomers, they could see that Leo's swordsmanship was extremely strong, just like Leo said, a single knight could not cause any trouble to the other party at all, so they glanced at each other, then drew their long swords and scattered separately, walked towards Leo, and surrounded him in the middle.
The people standing on the ruins were all attracted by the fight below, and they all held their breath, looking forward to the next fight, as for whether anyone would get hurt in the fight, it was not for them to care.
Only Sylvia watched the farce rather boredly, wondering why Leo did it.
At this time, several wandering knights had formed an encirclement, and the novice knights who had tripped before also got up from the ground, surrounded Leo together, and were the first to strike, vowing to redeem the shame of being tripped up, while several other wandering knights saw that the newcomer had made a move, and they also cooperated with the shot, locking all Leo's retreats with their long swords.
However, in the face of this siege with nowhere to hide, Leo appeared very relaxed, the long sword in his hand danced quickly, and its tricky angle blocked the attacking long sword, and accurately shifted each long sword into the sword momentum of the other long swords, let them fight their own people, and then took advantage of the time when they forcibly collected the sword, slapped the sword body with the sheath long sword on everyone's chest, and easily pushed people away.
Subsequently, these wandering knights besieged Leo by various means, but each time the opponent cracked it easily, and was always able to easily transfer the attack against him to others.
At this time, they thought about whether they should find someone to hold each other, so that the other party could not move, and then attack, but there was definitely no knightly glory at all when doing this, if there was no other person watching, it would be okay to do so, they didn't admit it afterwards, but now many people are watching the ruins above, if they really do that, then there is no need to mix in Towcente.
Just when these wandering knights were in a dilemma, not knowing what to do next, the old knight Capello on the side said loudly: "That's enough! ”
