Chapter 2 The Town of Nock

"Boss, buy wine" before the person arrived, the sound came first. It should be a five or six-year-old who could hear it.

"Hey, okay!" the boss seemed to be prepared, and without looking up, he brought out a jug of wheat wine from under the counter, with the words "2 pounds" on the jug.

The boss put the wine on the bar, and in front of the table stood a black-eyed and black-haired child, about five and a half years old, threw the money on the table, took the wine and left.

It's been five years since I came to this world, and I still feel a little incredible when I think about it.

"Old man, I'm back from buying you wine!"

I remembered that I opened my eyes for the first time, saw this old man, and wanted to call "boss", but I couldn't call out. Then he found out that he had crossed over, so how could the obscene old man in front of him explain it? After a week of observation, Hong Yu could finally confirm that this old man was not his boss!

There is another thing that I can't figure out, about which two parents are, I don't have any impression at all, anyway, the first thing I saw when I opened my eyes was this old man.

The old man was basking in the sun, shaking a pu fan in his hand, and while taking the wine from Hongyu's hand, he criticized: "Xiao Yuzi, why is it slow this time, go, five hundred times!"

Hongyu's name is still called Hongyu, it is said that the old man watched the child grow up day by day, no name is not good, so he thought about a name, at that time Xiao Hongyu could not speak, I heard that the old man was going to name himself, so he was anxious. The old man saw that he was restless and thought that he was excited, and he looked up to the sky and smiled, and soared into the sky with pride! Just as a pair of geese flew by, disturbed by this laughter, they sprinkled a bubble of soft gold, which happened to hit the old man's smooth head.

The old man's wild laughter came to an abrupt end, and he touched his head, and his face became gloomy. I didn't see any movement from him, and there was an extra stone in his hand, and with a "boom", it was a good killing two birds with one stone!

A piece of feather landed right in Hongyu's arms.

Seeing this situation, the old man had a flash of inspiration, and the word "Hongyu" came to mind!

"From today onwards, you will be called Hongyu, Hongyu-Adam!" the old man was rarely serious.

What does Adam mean? Later, I learned that this old man's surname was Adam.

The old man was strict with him since he was a child, made a knife and handed it to him, and then taught him three movements, horizontal chopping, vertical chopping, and diagonal cutting. And then—repeat to me fifty times! This was the first time the old man had taught him how to use a knife, when Hongyu was only three years old.

Nothing else has been taught other than these three movements. Hongyu gave it the name "Barbarian Three Knives".

"Five hundred times is five hundred times. The tortured Hongyu didn't bother to argue, since the last time he couldn't help but complain, the old man asked him to double.

The name of the town is Nock, and it is said that there was a knife man named Nock, and the mayor of the town was afraid that others would not know that Nock was from here, so he changed the name of the town to Nok, of course, this was a long time ago. And now, the town of Nok doesn't have a mayor. The reason is very simple, the people here don't need a mayor, most of them are from different countries, there are river and ocean thieves, there are adventurers, there are also powerful people who have sinned and taken refuge here, and so on. Who would dare to be their mayor of such a group of people?

Some people may ask, does the state care about this situation? You guessed it right!

This is a famous Saniri area. The location is not good, no one either, no, no, no, on the contrary, the location is perfect!

This is the junction of the three empires of Kate, Berman, and Hadias, and this is where the soldiers must fight! Whenever one country wants to occupy it, the other two will send troops to stop it. Over time, the three countries signed an agreement that everyone would step back and no one could send troops to attack the place, and the town of Nok would enter a state of anarchy.

So the homeless people on the mainland for various reasons are famous, come to settle here, and form a strange rule: vendettas are not allowed here! Violators will be besieged by everyone in Nok Town!

Legend has it that a young man kidnapped an imperial princess and came here. Then the empire came, and there was a big fight, and the imperial envoy just pulled out the knife, and before he could swing it, he was crushed by a shopkeeper and his throat!

Then the shopkeeper pulled out his knife, and in an instant, a terrifying domineering spirit poured out-

Domineering! At least it is possible for a swordsman in the soul condensing realm to comprehend it. In fact, even if you reach the Soul Condensing Realm, those who can comprehend domineering are also extremely talented, one in a hundred!

Since that time, no one has dared to come to Nok Town to seek revenge, but the population of this town is growing day by day.

It is said that Hongyu has finally done enough five hundred times. I have been in this world for more than five years, and I do surprisingly consistent things every day: cooking, buying wine, practicing knives, chopping wood and then selling it. Day after day, year after year!

"Old man, I'm done!" It stands to reason that the old man let Hongyu have his surname, even if he is not his own grandson, he should have some blood relationship, right? The old man didn't let Hongyu call him grandfather, but instead left a sentence: "You can call it anything, just don't call grandpa!" Hongyu was puzzled, so he didn't think about it.

"Old man?" Hongyu shouted twice, the old man should not be, and finally felt that something was wrong, the old man was usually asleep, and he would wake up when he shouted. Hongyu walked up to the old man, not knowing when he was no longer breathing.

Hongyu's eyes were a little red, and he silently dug a pit, threw the old man's body into it, buried it in the soil, and sprinkled the old man's unfinished wheat wine on the small dirt bag, and turned away. I didn't feel sadness in my heart, and I didn't have tears in my eyes, so why did I feel uncomfortable? My mind was blank, I didn't want to do anything, I didn't even know how I got back to the hut, when I sat on the bed.

The next day, Hong Yu adjusted his mood, walked out of the hut, and opened his arms to bask in the early morning sun, it was a new day! After all, Hong Yu was not a real child, and in this five-year-old body, there was a soul that was nearly thirty years old.

The old man went, and Hongyu finally didn't have to buy wine and chop wood. So he found a stone and sat down and thought about his future.

The old man never told Hongyu about the outside, and the people in the town kept silent, Hongyu always thought that this was just an ordinary town. He had planned to go out for a while, but given his young body, he had to give up.

"Hey, boy, why didn't I see you buy wine today?" a shout interrupted Hongyu's thoughts.

The person who came was the second shopkeeper of the hotel, carrying a pot of wheat wine in his hand, a shopkeeper with five big and three thick! Hongyu was already surprised.

"The old man is dead, and there is no need to buy wine in the future" Hong Yu did not raise his head, his face expressionless. The mood was just a little bit lifted again, and it was good if I didn't pick people up directly.

The shopkeeper's body stiffened, and then he looked incredulous: "What did you say? The old gentleman died?! How is this possible?!" The shopkeeper's face turned pale, and his steps were a little vain. "Where is he, take me!"

Why did the old man react so much when his old man died? Could it be that if the old man didn't drink his wine, they would have to close down?

While thinking, he stood up and took the shopkeeper to the little dirt bag. The shopkeeper didn't say a word, slowly opened the wine bottle, spilled the whole pot of wheat wine, and turned to leave.

"Boy, you will chop firewood and sell it to make your own food in the future, the old gentleman is gone, I will come here every day to teach you to practice knives in the future." ”

After the shopkeeper finished speaking, he glanced at Hong Yu, and then said: "The old gentleman was very kind to me when he was alive, and when he leaves, I will take care of you!"

"This drunkard old man, he stays at home all day, and he still has great kindness to people?!!Strange, strange!" Hongyu thought about these things in his heart, and unconsciously walked to a clearing, and when he looked up, he saw the knife that the old man gave him, and he had been practicing "three knives" with this knife since he was three years old. I thought I would never practice this meaningless sword technique again, if that could be considered a knife technique. At this moment, I couldn't help but pick up the knife and practice.

The next day, the shopkeeper actually came.

It wasn't dawn yet, and Hongyu was still sleeping. Suddenly I felt a chill on my body, and the quilt was not a bird!

It was this shopkeeper who took away his quilt. The five big and three thick shopkeepers ignored Hong Yu's resentful eyes, "It's time to get up, I don't know what the old gentleman taught you, but, you are his only descendant, it is difficult to survive in this world without strong strength, so, I will help you awaken your true strength!"

Gah, real power, what?
