Chapter 16: The Heroic Epic
Alendor was also thinking about it, he dragged the thief mage Vir this time, and was almost killed by Will, the wind wolf after his transformation still lacked something, in addition to giving full play to the advantage of speed, he also had to find a way to deal a fatal blow to the enemy, otherwise he could only be a target. This is what it feels like to be a target for a magician, and Allendo doesn't want to try it a second time. Fortunately, he now has "Sharp Claws", which greatly increases the attack power of Allendo after transformation.
More speed, more ferocious blows, that's what Allendo was aiming for.
Ryan and Alendor have a great sense of crisis in their hearts, everyone is thinking about their gains and losses in this turmoil in Giethoorn, in order to try to improve their strength, Ryan and Alendor first return to the camp where they once lived. It's business as usual there, and apparently there is no new owner in this short period of time.
Ryan and Alendor lived here again, training themselves every day, and cooperating together many times to cultivate tacit understanding. If you can increase your strength a little more, you will have a better chance of winning in the face of unknown dangers.
The early morning sun shines on Ryan and Alendo, although it is only morning, it also makes people feel hot, today is Victory Day, Ryan and Alendor decide to take a day off and go into the city for a walk.
Elfa City was in an atmosphere of joy, and it was clear to Ryan and Ellen that many of the shops on both sides of the street were carefully decorated.
Although it was in the morning, there were people coming and going in the mercenary guild, and in the past few days of the Victory Day celebration, merchants from all over the empire gathered in Elfa, and the demand naturally increased, and various mercenary tasks issued were also endless, such as delivering letters, transporting goods, maintaining order, and buying Warcraft fur cores at a high price, many people would use this time to do a little more tasks and earn a little hard-earned money.
Ryan and Allendo walked straight up to Lucy and showed proof that they had completed their mission.
Lucy carefully read the proof and went through the relevant formalities for Ryan, and 200 resounding gold coins fell into Ryan's pocket.
It was the first time Ryan had so much money, and he smiled and put the gold coins into his purse, and then tied them tightly around his waist. In fact, the whole process of Giethoorn is not just a mission to hunt down thieves, it can be said to be a war, not to mention that Ryan and Elendor successfully avoided the annihilation of the Holy Knights by the system, and this feat alone is enough to be divided into a small territory by the Empire.
However, Ryan and Alendor were unwilling to show off, they took the money, and walked out of the mercenary guild directly while the other mercenaries were pointing their fingers.
The two of them walked down the street, Victory Day was the busiest time of the year in El Fa City, and it would be a shame not to take a good look.
Ryan and Alendor walked past the "Fire Hammer Equipment Store" where they had been selling things last time, but they were surprised to see a half-height platform set up in the open space outside the store, with flags of various colors hanging on the platform, and several teenage children shouting to passers-by around the platform: " There is a big auction going on at the Hammer Equipment Shop, which includes a magic necklace made by the master magician Flajimi, a number of weapons carefully crafted by the master Charles of the store, as well as all the sharp throwing knives of the thief Scar who has endangered Elfa for many years, and the crutches used by the mysterious magician who removed the bastard Scar......"
Hearing this, Ryan's mouth closed in surprise, this is too exaggerated, when did he use crutches? Alendor couldn't help but smile at Ryan when he heard the exaggerated voice.
Ryan pulled Alendor awkwardly, wanting to leave quickly, but was dragged over by Allendo.
Approaching the crowded fire hammer auction table, Ryan saw the burly, bearded Charles for the first time. Compared to that day, Charles was dressed in a neat gown, not at all like a blacksmith, but like a businessman.
In the middle of the auction table is an auction table, where a lean middle-aged man is full of energy, standing there with a straight body, introducing a work to be auctioned, a battle axe made of pure steel. The face of this tomahawk is the size of an adult's face, and it is polished so smooth that it clearly reflects the face of a human being. Charles himself showed the axe, he had a bronze sword fetched, he took the battle axe in his right hand, and slashed it hard, easily cutting the sword in two. Immediately there was an exclamation from the audience. The auctioneer took the opportunity to trumpet the benefits of the piece, hoping to get a good price.
Soon the auction began, and the bid began to rise rapidly from the reserve price of 10 silver coins, and in a moment it was added to 2 gold coins, and after a slight pause at the price of 2 gold coins, it was immediately bought for 5 gold coins.
A smile appeared on Charles's face, in fact, although the materials and workmanship of this axe are very good, it usually sells for 1 gold coin.
Another auction item was placed on the table, a long sword broken in two. Immediately, there was a whistle on the stage, as if to make fun of the negligence of the Hammer staff.
However, the auctioneer was unmoved, and he said loudly with passion: "When the auction is now, the saber that has endangered the thief's scar in Elfa City for many years!"
The whistle on the stage stopped immediately, this is the first time everyone has seen this kind of auction item, and they can't use it, so why buy it?
The auctioneer was not in a hurry, he swept his eyes and said loudly: "The thief Scar has been endangering Elfa City for many years, and he has killed many people under his sword, and today he was removed by a mysterious magician. We were fortunate enough to have bought Scar's longsword at a high price from a mysterious magician. This long sword is broken in two, which symbolizes the elimination of evil and the coming of peace. With it, we have and be happy, and may our lives never see it again, never have strife......"
Under the auctioneer's explanation, there was really a young man with a sense of justice who bought the broken sword for 50 silver coins.
Ryan was dumbfounded when he saw that he had only sold these things for a total of 2 silver coins at that time. When it was sold by this cunning blacksmith, the worst sword in it could be sold for 50 silver coins, was it the money of the people of Elfa City or what?
In the end, the pile of things that Ryan sold to Charles sold sold for a total of nearly 50 gold coins, especially a sturdy branch that Charles didn't know where to go, purported to be the crutch of the mysterious magician, was bought by a certain aristocratic boy who wanted to learn magic, and it was said that he was going to spend time with this cane, maybe he wanted the mysterious charm left by the mysterious magician on it. As for the price, the aristocratic boy who was dressed in gorgeous clothes and followed by more than 10 followers said disapprovingly: "Isn't it just 20 gold coins? ”
Around noon, the Hammer Auction ended, and Ryan and Ellendo followed the crowd towards the central square of Elfa City, where, according to the residents of Elfa City, the famous Wildcat Song and Dance Troupe from the mainland had been invited to sing the entire Epic of Heroes.
The Heroic Epic is a full-length opera about the deeds of the seven heroes of the Holy Empire, and Ryan has only heard it before that the town of Takri can't afford to have such a troupe that tours the continent. This time there is a chance to hear his long-awaited "Heroic Epic", and of course Ryan wants to go.
Before he reached the central square, Ryan saw from a distance that a one-man high platform had been built out of wood, and on the platform a beautiful girl was singing the most wonderful part of the popular "Heroic Epic", "Sunrise Battle". The girl was very beautiful, with big eyes, long eyelashes, and a tall nose, and she was wearing a gorgeous performance costume, which set off her delicate figure and attracted the attention of a large group of men.
Ryan and Alendor slowly squeezed in, standing not far from the platform and quietly enjoying the performance.
As the plot deepened, the girl's singing became more and more exciting, and soon it was known as the most difficult to sing, but also the most exciting part, the beautiful girl let go of her singing voice, and vividly expressed the battle scene that used extremely high syllables and fast singing speed, and everyone's eyes seemed to appear in front of the thrilling scene outside the sunrise city:
The evil demon king Arest, no one in the world can compare with him,
His terrifying abilities made people tremble in every corner of the continent,
The armor that protects his body is inlaid with the scales of the shadow dragon,
The golden helmet was stuck with high feathers, and around the waist was a precious belt engraved with a monster,
The cloak floats like the wings of a phoenix,
Nightmarmon, as strong as a dragon, leaps in the wind,
The "sun-devouring" light of the carved flowers is like autumn water,
Rush to the castle to challenge, who will dare to fight him?
All the kings were afraid, as if their gall would burst.
At this time, the dwarven king's blood axe rushed out,
In his hand is a long "roar of blood",
The tiger-like beard stood up like a golden thread,
There is thunder and lightning in the eyes;
While the two were fighting, the human knight Bird was furious,
The sword "revenge" shines like snow,
The lion's robe is embroidered like a butterfly,
Where the horse's hooves trampled on, there was an unyielding cry;
The owl-like elven hero Moon Shadow lifts up the "Song of the Soul Suppression",
The power of nature made her braver;
The three of them fought around Aleister for a long time,
Offense and defense without stopping,
The sound of the shouting vibrates, almost tilting the heavens and the earth,
......
Ryan and Alendor were also attracted by this beautiful singing and were deeply immersed in it.
Before you know it, it's getting dark. Ryan and Allendo stood here and listened to the opera for most of the day.
