Chapter 4: The Honor of a Knight
Kaku's eyes sharpened, giving the impression that he was staring at his prey, which made Payne feel inexplicably nervous. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
Fortunately, this look didn't last long, and when Kaku withdrew his gaze from him, Payne suddenly felt relieved.
"I'm hungry. Kaku asked with a smile, looking the same as he had just looked.
Upon his question, Payne immediately felt his stomach empty, and hunger followed.
Kaku took out a pocket watch from his bosom, looked at the time, and said with a smile, "You should be good at making a fire, I'll leave it to you, let's fill our stomachs first." ”
Before they knew it, they had been chatting for more than half an hour. Payne nodded, and immediately got up and walked towards the woods behind him, he wished to get out of the sight of these people, so that he could breathe a sigh of relief.
Seeing Payne walking away, Al looked at Kaku, "What do you see?"
"No, but the Silver Knight has always had him with him, so there must be some special purpose. ”
"Maybe he's afraid that if something happens to him, he'll have an heir, but the Demon Hunting Guarantee is one of the most likely missions. Al said casually.
"There are quite a few mercenaries who have the potential to become bounty hunters, if it were you, would you find a blacksmith apprentice at random?" Kaku looked at Al and continued, "I've dealt with Hervey a few times, and he's not your average shrewd man. ”
"And what if he has the potential to become a magician?" the brown-haired beauty made a bold idea.
Kaku smiled and shook his head, the thought had crossed his mind before, but it had passed by him.
Anyone who has the qualifications to become a magician, at the latest by the age of sixteen, will show something different, such as the palm of the hand will be wrapped in flames, or the next day will wake up to find himself sleeping on a bed of ice, in short, there will definitely be obvious uniqueness, unless it is deliberately concealed.
But it's almost impossible.
You know, the appearance of a magician will mean that the family will no longer have to worry about food and clothing, and will even bring wealth and prestigious titles, and the whole village will be wiped out.
There are not a few such examples, and the matter of a pheasant turning into a phoenix overnight is not a myth in this world.
If Payne really had the qualifications of a magician, he should have been at the magic academy in the Dawn King's Capital a long time ago, instead of striking iron in a blacksmith shop in the countryside.
"I remember Hervey once saying that his daughter was at the magic academy in the royal capital, and I remember the smugness on his face when he talked about his daughter, and we slaughtered him for it. So it's impossible for him not to know what the prerequisites are for becoming a magician, and look at Payne, does he look like he's only sixteen?"
"If the leg hair is all over the chin, it's not impossible. Al said matter-of-factly.
Al's joke embarrassed the brown-haired beauty a little, she glared at Al, and then spread her hands, "I just said it casually, is it necessary to be so serious?"
Al ignored the other party's warning look, "Could it be that this is the case, the Silver Knight has something important to store in the guild, and if something happens to him, it is good that a crony will put it in the hands of his daughter, and Payne happens to be the best candidate... If that's the case,..."
"Hmph, the important thing in your mouth is the gold coin, right?" The brown-haired beauty snorted coldly, directly interrupted Al, and did not let him continue, "You are blaspheming the honor of the knight, and you are also challenging my bottom line, if you want to do something shady, then I think you are in the wrong place, you should go to those unscrupulous guys, instead of finding us." ”
Al does have a little crooked mind, but he doesn't really do it, first of all, Kaku can't pass this level, not to mention that he also has his own bottom line.
But after being infinitely magnified by this poisonous tongue in front of him, the nature is completely different, and if his character is questioned by his peers, it is not a joke, especially in front of the knight.
Al misunderstood the meaning of 'snake girl' and paid a lot of price for it, but it was too much to retaliate like this.
"Are you serious?" Al's face turned serious, he had to solemnly clarify himself, so the other party had to apologize to him.
"Don't worry, Al, I know you, that's enough. "As a knight with a high reputation, Kaku is very careful when choosing teammates and will never let anyone who might ruin his reputation join.
The honor of the knight is above all else, and this is a high-level archway in itself.
Kaku gestured to stop dwelling on the matter, and the conversation shifted, "You reminded me. ”
"What?"
"There must be a reason why they are so eager to join the Demon Hunters' Federation, as far as I know about these people, they should not have the conditions to become Demon Hunters, they must have obtained some important information. Kaku was lost in thought again.
The two didn't attack each other anymore, after all, neither wanted to completely strain the relationship, "I really don't understand, what's the benefit of being a demon hunter?" Al said.
"It is said that if it is recognized by the Demon Hunters' Federation, it will gain amazing power. The brown-haired beauty said in a soothing tone.
"So what? What could be more important than your own life? Al shrugged, he had always thought it was better to be pragmatic, such as gold coins.
"Forget it, let's talk about this later, we will hurry after breakfast, we must arrive at Huiguang City before sunset, the appearance of elite demons should not be accidental, the night in the south is no longer peaceful. Kaku glanced up at the clear sky, his eyes full of anxiety.
Al nodded in agreement and let out a strange whistle, and the crowd immediately moved.
Payne wasn't very far away from them, and he remembered that every time the Silver Knight was talking to the other hunters about business, he would break him off, and he would obediently do so, and the Knight would not go to him until they were done talking.
But he wasn't the same Payne as he used to be, and he was a little curious about what these people were talking about, so he kept his ears pricked up to know what they were talking about.
Although he didn't hear the whole thing, he grasped the key, and the information was enough for him to digest for a while.
Half an hour later, a pot of sticky, mushy stuff had been divided up by everyone, and Payne felt that it was the worst thing he had ever eaten, not one of them.
But in order to show what a country boy should look like, he still pretended to be very happy and finished his portion, and was very glad that his stomach was more angry and did not vomit directly.
......
After breakfast, Kaku stood up, and the other four stood up, and Payne didn't know what they were trying to do, but he followed suit.
Payne noticed that they were straight and looked a little solemn, and the men took their weapons from their waists and backs and held them high above their heads, and Payne did the same, but he could only raise his fists.
Kaku's gaze was fixed on the slowly raised knight's sword, and when the arm raised the sword straightened, his expression became solemn, "May his soul return to the temple of the gods, and pay homage to the silver knight Kasri Hevi." ”
It turned out to be a memorial! Payne was surprised.
At this point, the others chimed in, "Hail to the Silver Sword Knight." ”
The muzzle of Al's gun erupted with angry smoke, and the deafening sound of gunfire echoed over the empty river beach, full of mourning.
At this moment, Payne looked at the sky, remembering the smiling appearance of the knight Hervey, his heartstrings were touched, as if his heart had been hit by some kind of impact, although he couldn't say it, but he felt inexplicably moved.
-- This is the honor of a knight.
