Chapter Forty-Six: Choosing a Guard
Leaving the camp, Wood takes the heron and Leon to the next colony, where there is a man on the heron list. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
After about three hours of riding, Leon and the others met a long-haired woman with an indifferent expression in a small cabin, and Wood pointed to her and introduced: "Simir, twenty-three years old, a tenth-level pharmacist, has the power of the bloodline is subtle, can provide treatment and even suture severed limbs, and is also an outstanding genius in pharmacy. ”
Before Leon could speak, Simir had already said mercilessly: "Forget it, this young master is not the master I expected, you go and choose the others." ”
So saying, she walked into the hut herself, and closed the door, leaving the three men looking at each other.
Leon touched his nose and smiled wryly, "Is there something I can't do well?" ”
Unfazed, Wood explained kindly, "I hope you don't get angry, it's their right." After all, choosing a master to serve all their lives is the most important thing in their lives, and the family does not allow anyone to force them to be anyone's subordinates. Well, it's my fault, Simir once wrote in his report that he wanted to find a mistress whose temperament and character satisfied her. I forgot about it for a while. ”
Ling Lu took the list and looked at it and said, "Let's go, let's go to the next place, there are still many candidates." ”
The second person was a sorcerer of the Wasteland Remnant, who was happy to follow Leon, but when Leon entered his room, he discouraged his plans to take the guard. This man's room was filled with specimens, both human and of other races. On the other side of the room, there is a closet made of special glass, which has many small lattices for all kinds of poisonous insects, and in the middle of the room is a standard standard magic energy purifier.
Leon quickly determined that the Gu magician was synthesizing poison Gu from various poisons and experimenting with various activities. This made Leon feel a little difficult to accept, he couldn't stand such a person to accompany him all his life.
The Gu Magician expressed regret for Leon's choice, but he didn't dwell too much on it, and politely asked Leon to leave.
The third candidate is a druid, a transfiguration of the druids, who lives in a forest and is accompanied by magical beasts. He welcomed Leon's arrival, and did not object to becoming Leon's subordinate, but regretfully told Leon that he was practicing the critical moment of the change of the five birds of the bear, leopard, eagle, lion, and monkey, and could not accompany him to participate in the family trial. Leon expressed his understanding and said goodbye to the druid with regret.
The fourth is a beautiful elf, and the noble of the elves, the Solar Elf, who loves Leon's handsome appearance, warmly entertains Leon in her treehouse, and rejects the not-so-handsome Linglu and Wood. In fact, this elf is only one hundred and twenty years old, which is equivalent to fifteen or sixteen years old for humans, and her excellent background makes her a tenth-level natural mage comparable to a fourteenth-level high mage, this is Leon's most ideal subordinate personal guard, not only powerful but also a beautiful and noble female elf.
During the conversation, the solar elf named Evelyn excitedly talks to Leon about art and literature, and Leon is able to talk freely and even quote scriptures, which makes Evelyn more and more satisfied. Just as the details had already been discussed, Evelyn clearly expressed her strong displeasure when she heard that Leon's legion was a barbarian.
"Are you kidding me to live with a bunch of stinking barbarians? I'm sorry, I would have liked to be your personal bodyguard, but I was able to take a bunch of barbarians as subordinates...... Looks like I'm going to have to reconsider. ”
Leon left the treehouse with great regret, and this Miss Evelyn Leon was very, very satisfied, but he couldn't ask Leon to give up the barbarian legion for her.
Far from comforting Leon, Ling Lu and Wood gloated over Leon's pity, and they still resented being rejected by the rude elf.
After that, Leon met with several more candidates, although there were also unsatisfactory choices, but Leon still did not immediately decide on the candidates, after all, choosing a personal guard is a very, very important thing.
It wasn't until three days that Lyon saw the thirteenth candidate.
It was a large river outside the forest, and Leon had not yet reached the place where the thirteenth person was to live, when he suddenly heard a scream from the depths of the forest on the other side of the river, followed by the sound of Sosolin leaves. Soon, the figure of a man came out of the jungle, covered in open skin and flesh wounds, bloody and terrifying. He let out a meaningless cry and looked back from time to time, as if something scary was chasing him. When he saw the river in front of him, he jumped into the water almost without hesitation. The river was wide and deep, and he choked on a few mouthfuls of water, coughing desperately, and then steadied himself and swam forward.
Leon wanted to go down to save him, but was stopped by Linglu.
"This is a 'prisoner' deliberately released by the family, it seems that he is a twelve-level warrior, he has no special use, and he is not qualified to be cultivated by the family. Bear with me, he should be the task of some of the guards. ”
These prisoners generally have a level of 12 or higher, which is higher than the average level of 10 of the guards trained by the guards. After the guards receive the pursuit task, they will kill the prey under the guidance of the family and get the tokens on the prey, so as to exchange for some resources. This is not an absolutely safe thing, and every year in the battalion, guards die in one kind or another. There are many cases where the identity of the prey and the hunter are reversed.
After being dissuaded by the heron, Leon quieted down, and he looked into the depths of the forest, wondering what kind of person the pursuer was.
There was a long whistling sound in the forest, one that had come from a moment of extreme excitement. Then a figure leaped high from the woods and crossed the gentle area by the river. When he got closer, Leon saw that it was a very young man, with a simple skirt made of unknown monster skin wrapped around his waist, covering the hidden parts, and this tunic did not cover his body, no different from being naked.
His figure resembles Leon's barbarians, covered in muscles and more than two meters tall. It's just that he's not covered in hair like a barbarian, but like a shelled egg, without any hair on his body, not just hair, not even eyebrows. In addition, his body was covered in blood-red patterns, much like the spirit patterns were drawn on his body, but Leon could not recognize the function of those patterns, and there were no traces left by the spirit patterns when he carved his body, these patterns seemed to have grown on his body by nature, and even the top of his head was full of patterns.
However, Leon does not deny that these patterns are not ugly on him, but have a wild beauty.
The strong, savage-like youth, laughing insolently, threw himself down and jumped into the river. His bounce is very powerful, jumping four or five meters high. The landing point is also very precise, landing exactly on the top of the head of the "prey". After falling, the man who had been taken as the prey was directly stepped on his neck and plunged into the water, and soon he began to struggle hard, and there was a big splash on the water.
The young man was completely oblivious to the prey's struggle, he locked his arms on the prey's throat, and then twisted it so hard that his whole head instantly twisted one hundred and eighty degrees, and the struggle stopped at once.
The corpse sank, and the water began to ripple with a blood-stained red. Only then did the young man notice the three Lyons on the other side of the river, and swam excitedly over.
Swimming ashore, he rubbed his hands and said excitedly to Wood, "Instructor, I ask you to find the master I found?
The second half of the sentence was obviously said to Leon, Leon was speechless, among normal people, his height was already relatively tall, and his body was well-proportioned, so he couldn't be called small. However, with this kind of guy who has married a giant at the first glance of his ancestors, Leon wisely chose to remain silent.
Wood quipped, "Let's not mention this, you don't seem to have taken out the token on that guy, right?"
At Wood's mention, the young man slapped his head: "Oops, oops!"
He hurriedly turned around, and a fierce man plunged into the water, the river was not shallow, and the current was fast, the body had most likely been washed downstream by the river, and it was not easy to find it.
Wood smiled and introduced, "This is Kiel, and it is also the one I recommend you to choose the most, the tenth-level Highland Battle, like your subordinates, is also a barbarian. ”
Ling Lu stared at the water below Kiel and asked solemnly, "Is he the 'Holy Son'?"
Wood nodded solemnly.
Next, Leon never expected that Linglu, who had always been at odds with Wood, would give Wood a hug.
"Good fellow, I've made a note of this favor. Ling Lu let go of Wood and excitedly said, "He hasn't even been chosen yet." ”
Wood said calmly, "In fact, I have already told him that someone will choose him, and this man's army is a barbarian. He is looking forward to and has turned down many young people's invitations to wait for you. ”
Leon was confused: "What is the Holy Son?"
"There is an extremely rare chance of a barbarian born hairless and with mysterious patterns on his body, known as the Holy Son, who is regarded by the barbarians as the king of the barbarians who descended from the gods they believed in to lead the barbarians. The Holy Son is one of the few barbarians who can master the fighting spirit, learn combat skills, and is born with terrifying combat instincts, most of the Holy Sons can at least step into the Holy Realm as long as they do not die young, and if there are enough resources to support it, there is a great chance to advance to the legend. Ling Lu was in a good mood right now, and was about to burst out laughing, "All in all, you're making a lot of money this time, Leon." ”
Hearing Ling Lu's explanation, Leon also became excited, and he looked at the water, wanting to see what that Kiel looked like.
After a while, Kiel swam ashore, and with a silver medal in his hand, he handed it to Wood, and said with great anticipation, "Can this plus the old ones be exchanged for a beautiful female barbarian?"
"Uncle, why don't we take a look at the others. Leon couldn't help but say, he didn't know which of those female savages with muscular breasts and thick hair comparable to orangutans was pretty.
Wood took the silver medal and said to Kiel with a smile, "You have an army of barbarians under your command, and his uncle has more and more barbarians, are you afraid that you will not find a beautiful female barbarian?"
Kiel was so fascinated that he almost drooled. He walked up to Leon, patted him on the shoulder, and said solemnly: "You will be my brother from now on." ”
Then he added with some wryp: "Then can your barbarian legion be under my control, I am the king of the barbarians." ”
Leon said a little sluggishly, "Your purpose as the king of barbarians is to find some beautiful female barbarians?"
"Powerful men naturally have women attached to them. Kiel said as a matter of course, thought for a moment and added, "Many, many women." ”
Soon he hung his head again and said, "But there are few barbarians here, and they are all men, and they look different from me. ”
Leon opened his mouth, eager to tell him that it was rare for a barbarian like you to look, but Ling Lu was looking at him and motioning for him to hurry up. Leon could only swallow these words back into his stomach and said in a different tone: "Okay, I promise you, but you have to listen to me." ”
"No problem. Kiel patted his chest and reassured, and then he happily put his arms around Leon, "Good brother, we will be our own people from now on." ”
Leon patted his arm: "Idiot, let go of me, I'm almost out of breath." ”
