Chapter 70: Old Jack

On the hill, Lucien and his party looked at the village at the foot of the hill, which was the village they would protect for the rest of the day. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

They were one man and one horse, and there were more than a dozen carriages behind them, and the horses pulling the carriages were controlled by Amy with medicine, so that the carriages could follow them quietly on the mountain road without a coachman.

The village of Faro is located at the foot of a hill in the remnants of the Alterac Mountains, hundreds of miles from the nearest town, and looks very barren. The three-meter-high low wall outside the village speaks of the insecurity of the Northland, and even in the Kannai, these rural places are attacked by mutated creatures from time to time.

"Calculate the time, tomorrow the mutant creatures trapped in the depths of the Alterac Mountains will be released, our task is to protect the villagers of this village from the attack of mutant creatures, after clearing the mutant creatures in the village, find the map buried here, and rush to the second round of assessment points as soon as possible. Until then, we were all a team. ”

"Lucian, you go down and ask about the situation. Others, stay where they are to protect the wagon. Lillian was the organizer of the team, so she asked Lucien to come forward and ask questions.

Lucien didn't say much, and the black horse carried him down the hill, splashing dust and flying in the air, and in the sky behind him, the sun was blazing.

In the field beside the road, there were two children, a boy and a woman, both of whom looked a little malnourished, but two bright eyes, revealing a dazzling aura.

It was evident that they were a little afraid of Lucian.

Lucien jumped off the black horse, lifted his hood, bared his white teeth at the two children, and said, "I'm a federal knight, where is your village chief?"

This is the unified identity determined by the academy for everyone, and it is required that the information of wizards cannot be easily divulged.

The slightly older girl pursed her lips and plucked up the courage to ask, "How do I know if you are a federal knight?"

"Evidence?" Lucien smiled slightly and asked, "Of course there is evidence, but I will show you, can you understand it?"

"Of course my sister can understand it, and the village chief praises her as the smartest child in the village. The younger boy hid behind the girl, and then poked his head out and said angrily.

"I also know how to stand up for my sister, a little courage. Lucien took out the certificate of appointment from his bosom, put it in front of the little girl, and said, "This is the paperwork." ”

After the little girl took the paperwork and looked at it identically, she returned it to Lucien and said, "Sure enough, it's a federal knight." I'm sorry, I doubt you, the village chief weeds outside the village and is not in the village now. ”

"Which direction. ”

The little girl pointed in the direction of the south and said, "That's it." ”

"Thank you. Lucien took out a dozen shells from his bosom and threw them to the little girl.

In order to reduce the cost of money, the smallest denomination of paper money is one dollar, and for the needs of circulation, the federation will produce shells from the polar regions and have rare value as a representative of small currency, generally speaking, 1 yuan is equal to 30 to 40 shells.

Lucien got on his horse and returned to the high slope, pointed to the south, and said, "The village chief is there." ”

Grull looked in the direction Lucien was pointing, and said angrily, "Isn't it wilderness? ”

"Big man, speak cleanly. Maisie looked at Grull with a real battle intent and said, "I was also born in the countryside. ”

"Two, the task is heavy. Lillian dissuaded, "But why would these mortals go to the wilderness?"

Lucien glanced at the sky and said, "It just rained a few days ago, and they should remove weeds and mosquitoes to prevent the plague." ”

"I didn't expect you to know this!" Messe approved.

Lucien said: "Nothing, just read more to know." ”

Lilian thought for a moment and said, "Lucien, you and Math should see the village chief, and the others will stay where they are and keep guard." ”

.........

Old Jack stood on guard by the haystack with a long sword at his waist, along with a few sturdy young men.

In the summer, there are always some hungry creatures running down the mountain in the Alterac Mountains, and if you are not careful, it is not good if you have an accident.

Old Jack is fifty years old this year, and when he was young, he used to be a mercenary outside, but then he injured his foot and couldn't do it anymore, so he returned to his hometown, because of some force, and was elected as the new village chief after the death of the old village chief.

Summer is the best season, the season of rejuvenation.

And spring, in fact, old Jack has never understood why the rainy season for three whole months is called spring, spring has no taste of life at all, and can only hide in the house and do some indoor work.

"Let's work hard, finish the work here as soon as possible, and go back to work in our fields. ”

Old Jack shouted encouragement to everyone as he took out his treasure and looked around with a half-broken telescope.

This telescope came from Old Jack's old leader, a great knight and a man as powerful as a mountain, who heard that the captain later went to battle outside the wall in order to pursue the path of a wizard.

"The sound of horses' hooves?"

Old Jack was a little suspicious that he was older and had hearing problems, how could there be the sound of horses' hooves in this remote village where even caravans rarely passed by?

Old Jack picked up the binoculars and looked in the direction from which the voice came.

"The black-clothed black horse is armed with weapons, there are two people in total, are they robbers? No, this is inside the gate, not outside the gate where officials and thieves are not distinguished, and robbers cannot be so well-equipped. ”

However, just in case, the experienced old Jack still blew the horn hanging around his neck, and the long horn resounded through the mountains.

The sound of the horn surprised Lucien as well.

I didn't expect to meet veterans in this village.

There were hundreds of villagers in this large area of barren grassland, and these villagers were still clearing the barren grass, when suddenly they heard the horn, and everyone quickly gathered.

Villages in the wilderness are often attacked, and the villagers are no strangers to horns.

Old Jack was somewhat satisfied with his training over the years, looked at the tall and majestic black knight in front of him, and shouted, "Who are you?"

Lucien stepped forward and replied, "You are the village chief?"

Lucien is proficient in psychology, so he takes the initiative to dismount and come to the ground to ask questions, so as not to provoke the other party's rebellious mentality.

After all, in a few days, the battle to eliminate the mutant creatures will still need the help of this group of villagers.

"I'm the village chief, who are you?"

Old Jack's hand was already on the hilt of the sword, and the villagers were all holding weapons, although they were all farm tools, but they still looked like they had some combat effectiveness, and Lucien was pleased to see that some of the villagers were still carrying bows and arrows behind their backs.

"We are federal knights, and this is our identification. ”

Old Jack took the parchment thrown by Lucian, and when he opened it, the familiar text, the familiar security pattern and the familiar black mud gold-edged seal, Old Jack had seen these when he took over the task before, and knew that this was a federal document, and there was nothing wrong with it.

Old Jack breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Everyone keep working, these two are Federation Knights." ”
