Chapter 27: Sheltered Valley
Payne vaguely heard something, looked around, and didn't find anything unusual, "Roy, did you hear any strange sounds?"
Roy was staring at the wolf meat on the fire, "What's the sound?"
Payne didn't respond, instead making a silent gesture, and he watched for a moment of alertness, then shook his head, "Maybe I misheard." Pen, fun, pavilion www. biqugeγ infoβ
Could it be that I'm too nervous, Payne thought to himself.
......
The golden wolf meat gave off an enticing aroma, and even without ingredients and salt, the two of them still ate it, they hadn't eaten meat for too long.
"I really feel safe with you. Roy said, patting his bulging belly.
Payne looked at Roy with a happy look on his face, feeling helpless, he thought, even if you are full, you can feel safe? This is too ...... That's what.
"Let's go, we've lost a lot of time, let's find the camp first. Payne suddenly thought of something, "Oh, by the way, cut these roasted wolf meat and put it away, and save it for dinner, it should... It's not going to break, is it?"
Payne looked at Roy, who was cutting meat, and almost didn't swallow back the second half of his words. Roy carefully cut the roasted wolf meat and said, "Why don't you peel off all these wolf skins? β
"Yes, how much can you change?" Payne immediately came to his senses.
"If it's well preserved, it can be sold for five silver coins. β
Payne pointed to a shattered wolfskin, "What about something like this?"
"Uh... Should... No one wants it, right?" Roy scratched his head, he had done his best to keep the wolf intact as he skinned it.
......
After packing up, Payne checked the terrain and compared the map, and then walked in a certain direction with Roy.
The journey of more than twenty miles is actually not far, but because Roy, who was carrying a bag full of wolf meat, stopped to rest several times, the two of them walked for two hours before they saw Shelter Valley.
Standing on a high vantage point, you can see the entire sheltered valley at an unobstructed view. In addition to dozens of leather tents, there are three steaming pools in the northeast corner, which are supposed to be natural hot springs.
"It's finally here, are you ready? Roy. Payne asked with some excitement. Roy nodded absentmindedly, his mind was not on this at all, because on the edge of the hot spring, he saw several women soaking in the hot spring.
The hazy heat was like a translucent veil, and although it was a little far away, it didn't affect him from viewing the legendary hazy beauty. -- This kind of beauty can always evoke the infinite beauty of a man's reverie.
Payne obviously noticed, but he wasn't going to be as obvious, or rather... Dirty.
"Stop, don't move!" a man's voice rang out from behind Payne.
'Damn!' Payne's energy was focused on the hot springs, and the people behind him didn't know when they came, "Don't get me wrong, we're here to join the mercenaries." β
"Really?" the man behind him sneered, "Fatty, what's in the bag on your shoulder?"
"It's meat, roasted wolf meat, do you want a piece?"
As soon as Roy tried to turn around, a sharp blade landed on his shoulder, "I said, don't move. Go and take the bag off his body. β
"Why me?"
"Are you asking me?"
"Okay. The other man stepped forward in a few steps and grabbed the bag, but he couldn't pull it off after a few tuggings.
When Roy saw someone stealing his food, he refused to let go.
"Give me, this dead fat pig!" The other party kicked on Roy's waist, but the fat body was not white, the other party's kick not only did not do anything to Roy, but he himself almost fell, "You are looking for death!
Payne saw the man pull out a long, gleeful sword from his waist and ......stab it directly into Roy's chest.
However, in the next moment, the picture froze.
Payne turned around and kicked the man in the lower abdomen behind him, and the other party flew out upside down. He didn't care about the man who fell to the ground, but quickly bypassed Roy, drew the short sword at his waist, and struck the blade that was about to pierce Roy's chest. Then he grabbed the other person's hair with one hand, pulled it down, and hit the opponent's face with his knee, making a bone cracking sound.
After doing all this, Payne turned around again, circled the opponent's back, and kicked him to the ground from behind.
At this moment, the accumulated space burst out, and the next moment, I saw the man hiding his face with his hands and kneeling to the ground in pain. Payne grabbed the man's hair and put his dagger around the other's neck.
"You're the one who wants to die!" Payne's tone was full of murderous intent.
"Don't... Don't kill me. The nosebleed of the kneeling man flowed down his fingers, almost forming a thread, which showed how hard this time was.
Payne wouldn't really kill the other party, otherwise there would be no need to talk nonsense with him. Before joining the mercenary, he didn't want to cause trouble for himself. But that doesn't mean he can tolerate the right person to go after his own people, and Roy is his only trusted partner right now. So, some unforgettable lessons...... It's inevitable.
The other man was no better now, curled up into a shrimp, but he still didn't want to give up, and wanted to get the weapon not far away.
Payne called out to Roy, who was still stunned, and glanced at him. The latter immediately understood, he threw the bag on his shoulder aside, ran over in a few steps, bent down and reached out to grab the opponent's neckline, and lifted the other party up.
However, the other party is not honest, reaching out and touching it like a waist.
Roy didn't give the other party a chance, a hook hit him in the heart, and the man rolled his eyes directly, and fainted on the spot. Roy was startled and turned to look at Payne, looking confused, "I can swear to the gods, I didn't think about killing him." β
Roy rarely fights with people, even if he is anxious, he just pushes people, he never thought that he would kill someone, even if the other party still wanted his own life, he didn't use all his strength, he didn't expect to kill someone at all!
After relieving himself, Roy's whole person was not good, and as soon as his fingers were loosened, the man fell to the ground limply.
Payne's face was bitter, and his heart was no different from being hit by a car, and that punch was right in the center, so it's strange if he doesn't die!
"I didn't try too hard just now. Roy looked at Payne as he stretched out his trembling arm to test the other's snort, "Scared me to death, but luckily, he's still angry." β
Payne looked at Roy with a bright smile, shook his head helplessly, and then used his hand hard, and the man who fell to the ground immediately screamed, "Who are you? β
