Chapter 10: Man-Eating Beasts
In fact, these two consequences are not what he wants, once such a problem arises, others will definitely regard themselves as aliens, if it is better to stay away, if you see yourself as a variant of the devil, then wouldn't you be hunted down and killed everywhere?
If you can't show it in front of people, then you can only become a lone ranger. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ο½ο½ο½Uο½Eγ ο½ο½ο½ο½
But the problem is that the Lone Ranger is not easy to be, even the Silver Light Knight has to find at least one partner every time, and if the task is difficult, more than a dozen are possible.
Once there is a life-threatening situation, there is not even a person who can save his life, he still remembers that the Silver Light Knight said,ββDon't look down on yourself, and don't underestimate your teammates, between life and death, it is often the people around you who can control your own destiny, not yourself."
This sentence is actually not difficult to understand, it is similar to the meaning of 'if you don't die, you won't die', at least that's how Payne understands it.
So he was now eager to know what kind of state he was in during the skill trigger time.
"It looks like you're going to have to find a teammate you can trust. Payne muttered to himself.
When he came back to his senses, there was a three-way intersection in front of him, these three roads looked similar, there were no obvious markings, he thought, it stands to reason that there should be a sign here, but the actual situation is no, he still remembers, the predecessor was lost in this three-way crossing.
Payne really didn't know whether to be glad there were no signs, or to feel sorry for his predecessor.
None of that mattered now, though, as he pulled the improvised map from his bosom and began to make it carefully.
I have to say that in fact, simple maps also have their advantages, that is, they are simple and clear.
Kaku's map is clear, with an X on each of the left and middle junctions, an arrow on the right, and a long tree diagonally.
At first, Payne thought that Kaku's drawing skills were really unimpressive, but now it seems that this is not the case, and on the road on the right, there is a tree that is clearly crooked.
Payne smiled, Kaku is really careful, even if he is illiterate, it doesn't matter, as long as he is not mentally retarded or has eye problems, he can see which way to go.
Clearly, Payne doesn't fall into one of the two.
"No wonder the appeal of the knight is so strong, the quality is high, the reputation is good, it is difficult to think of not being famous. Payne sighed heartily, and at the same time felt that he owed the other party a favor, if there was a chance... , this favor must be redoubled.
Cleaning up his mood, Payne slapped the hammer's butt hard, "Let's go, man." β
Seventy miles was not close, but it was not far, and after about two hours, when he passed through the last woods, his vision suddenly opened up.
The geographical location of Meg Town is somewhat special, and it is special because the town is basically surrounded by mountains, the town is located at the junction of basin and high mountains, and Payne's location can have an unobstructed view of the entire town and its surroundings.
Even if I've been here before, what I remember and what I see with my own eyes are completely different things.
"It's beautiful.... Payne was struck by the sight of a vast field of wheat flowing down as far as the eye could see, forming a pool of turquoise water, which was barely irrigated by artificiality, and which was poured into the field through a canal and divided into regular rectangles.
Under the illumination of the West Sun, this place is simply a pure land on earth.
After pausing for a while, Payne reluctantly ran from the dirt slope to the town.
Looking at the town from a high vantage point it seemed like it wasn't very far, but it took him nearly ten minutes on horseback to see the walls of the town from the dirt slope down to the wheat fields in the basin, and all he could see was some crops.
Payne's predecessor had just been to Meg not long ago, so he had a fairly strong impression of the town, but the other thing was that the humid and muggy climate here made him a little unbearable, even in winter, like a summer that had just rained.
"Cluck, cluck... , hiss..."
Payne felt the sound in his ears, and when he looked for prestige, he saw a green-skinned monster that was no more than his waist, half-crouched in the wheat field and baring its teeth at him, and it was easy to ignore it if he didn't pay attention.
He had the impression that he had seen this kind of low-level monster, as if it was called [Man-Eating Beast].
It's a humanoid monster, with big black eyes and a big mouth that takes up almost the entire head.
Man-eating beasts are the most common specialty in this world, they don't have a high IQ, but they are more ferocious than jackals, and their jagged teeth can easily crush human bones, and once they bite him, they are basically on their knees. He remembered that the Silver Light Knight had said that.
But in his impression, these little monsters were not as the knight said, the moment the knight's sword was unsheathed, these little ones who could only roar scattered and fled, looking very timid.
However, to his surprise, he remembered that the monster liked to live in swampy wetlands, and was generally more common in the western part of the kingdom.
How did it end up here, is it also lost?
Payne sat on his horse and glanced left and right, and saw that there was no one around, which made him immediately interested. He nodded his chin at the little guy and whistled defiantly. He thought it was a good chance to practice his hand.
Leaping off his horse's back, Payne pulled out a two-foot-long iron sword from his sack.
This iron sword was built by the predecessor when he was an apprentice, using scrap iron, men, they all like to dance knives and swords or something, and by the way, they can pass the boring time.
The two-foot-long sword body, weighing three pounds, looks rough at first glance and has not been polished, but it can be seen that this sword has been tempered thousands of times, and the edge has been sharpened, very sharp.
The little guy looked at the tall red-haired monster in front of him, holding a weapon that could kill him, and the fierce appearance of the grinning teeth just now immediately disappeared, and his big eyes rolled around, showing a look of fear, although it was still ugly, but it felt very cute.
Payne's heart softened, and he couldn't bear to start, but he still had the opportunity to practice in the future.
He pointed at the little guy with an iron sword, and said with a contemptuous expression, "You're lucky boy this time, but I'll promise it next time." After saying that, he put the sword back into the horse bag, and then turned around and got on his horse in a dashing manner, ready to leave.
Before he could take two steps, Payne only felt a 'da-da-da' sound from behind him, he immediately thought of something, and turned around sharply, only to see that the 'cute thing' just now was baring his teeth and rushing up with his hands and feet.
