Chapter 3: The Soul Slayer
Seeing the owner of the voice, Lin Ye recognized at a glance that it was the man who helped him retrieve the pendulum. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info At this moment, there was another man in his thirties beside the man, with blond hair over his shoulders, although he was a little shorter than the person who snatched back his pendulum, but there was a sense of agility.
The blond man clasped his hands and said, "Hey, you don't have to tell the two kids about this, do you?
The man was still expressionless, "I'm just going to take them in, why can't I?"
The blonde man looked at the people around him, the corners of his mouth twitched slightly, and he didn't know what to say to him, "It's okay, you're the boss anyway." But if you really want to keep them, they will learn archery with me, and I won't have enough apprentices. ”
The man glanced at him and said, "Eleven is not enough, and you believe in a baseless prophecy?"
"I can't believe it," the blonde man shrugged, "I don't want to say that, I'm curious to know what Grace will do when she comes back to you for a fight in the street and bring back two children." ”
The blonde man mentioned the name with a smile, and finally made the man's expression change, how to say, it should be a very frightened expression, obviously he couldn't deal with Grace at all.
"I'm not the only one who is unlucky when she comes back. Aclode looked at Francis meaningfully.
"That, excuse me" Lin Ye watched the two of them arguing for a long time, "May I ask who are you?"
The blonde man smiled, "Boy, you can remember, I am the only one in the entire Ion Continent, proficient in all archery techniques, the strongest and greatest marksman in history - Francis. The sloppy uncle with a dead fish face next to me is Aklord. ”
Acklaude's face darkened when he heard Francis's introduction to him. How did he become an uncle at the same age as Francis?
"All Yen...... What's going on?" Lin Ye looked at Francis blankly.
"It is unique in the whole Ion Continent, proficient in all archery techniques, and the strongest and greatest marksman in history - Francis!"
"Uh......" Lin Ye still didn't know what to call it.
"Forget it, you can call me Master Francis, the Marksman!"
As soon as Francis finished speaking, he was slapped the back by Aklode, Acklode looked at Lin Ye and said, "Just call us by name, there is no aristocrats here, you can do whatever you want." ”
"Hmm," Lin Ye agreed softly, "By the way, what is the 'Spirit Slayer' you just mentioned?"
Lin Ye was very curious when he heard this name for the first time, and from his senses, it should be some kind of organization or guild. In many medium-sized cities, there will always be some organizations or guilds, such as the thieves' guild, the "warrior group" that obeys the orders of the royal family. Of course, there are also some churches, such as the Church of the Holy Spirit, which worships the Nine Holy Spirits, and the "Flame of Annihilation", which worships the evil god Asolus. However, decades ago, the "Flame of Annihilation" assassinated the king and incited the masses to start a civil unrest, which was jointly suppressed by the lords, but this also led to the invasion of some territories by the undead legions.
"As the name suggests, a 'soul slayer' is a person who slaughters the dead. Ten years ago, because some of my friends and I were very dissatisfied with the inaction of most nobles against the undead legions, I formed this organization to run to the edge of the front line to kill some undead who crossed the human defense line, and sometimes secretly participated in the front line of operations. Our organization has been expanding in the past ten years, but there are also many sacrifices, and the current members are less than a hundred, but everyone is an elite, much stronger than some so-called knights and archmages. Everyone is equal here, there is no noble status, although I am the chief, but every order is discussed by everyone. Acrod said.
"Hey, boy, were you stunned when you heard about our greatness?" Francis looked at the sluggish Lin Ye and smiled.
In fact, hearing the word undead, Lin Ye fell into extreme panic, and although the pain in his arm was unbearable, he still clenched his fists tightly.
"Hey, big brother, are you okay?"
Amy's voice pulled Lin Ye back from that state, and after Lin Ye took a deep breath, he said a little hoarsely, "Can you let me join?"
"Big brother, are you crazy, they are going to fight the undead!" Amy said quickly.
"I know...... I know, but I really want to ......" Saying that, Lin Ye seemed to think of some sad past, and tears couldn't stop flowing.
"You can't join, you don't have that ability right now, and you're afraid of the undead, if you keep this mentality, even if you do, you'll die quickly. Moreover, tears are reserved for the weak. Ackrod said this and turned to leave.
It's really the same as I was back then...... Let's hope he'll come along. Acklord thought as he walked
Francis looked at Akurode who was far away and shook his head, "This guy is always so cold, but you can rest assured, although he won't let you join, he just said that you can't join now, as long as you overcome what he said, there is still a chance." And he's brought you here, and he's said so much, and you have nowhere to go, because some of the nobles are very unfriendly to us. ”
Francis paused for no more than that, "When you're healed, I'll train you myself." ”
"No, let's start now......" said Lin Ye struggling to get up.
"Hey, don't be in such a hurry, let me lie down and rest first. ”
"That's it, that's it, you just have a good rest. Amy chimed in.
Lin Ye struggled several times to no avail, so he had to nod and agree.
Francis pressed Amy's head and said, "Don't even think about running, come and train with me at sunrise tomorrow morning." ”
"Ah......h
"If you have an opinion, I wouldn't mind adding some weight to your training. ”
......
Amy sent Francis away with a bitter face, he really didn't want to train, let alone fight the undead.
"Big brother, why do you want to join the 'Soul Slayer' if you say you're fine? ”
Lin Ye smiled slightly and didn't answer him. Since Lin Ye wandered to Karl City, it has always been Amy who has helped him, but Amy always calls him big brother, which makes him feel a little warmth in this world where he has nothing to rely on.
Amy sighed and leaned against the wall against the stool, "Anyway, I know that no matter what I'm talking about, it can't change what you decide, and I can only accompany you." ”
"Thanks, Amy. But why are you here?"
"Let me think," Amy said, pusing her chin, "according to that Francis, you were always calling my name when I was unconscious, and Akurod brought me back, I don't know how he found me." By the way, what do you think, how do you go back and steal the bread of the rich shopkeeper, who are habitual thieves dare not do it. ”
Lin Ye rolled his eyes, "It's not that you're sick and dying, and you whispered there that you want to eat the bread made by your mother again, and you said that the bread in that shop smells very similar to your mother's cooking, so I went to steal it." ”
Amy suddenly realized, "It turns out that my eldest brother is all for me, and if it weren't for you, I wouldn't have been brought here, and I wouldn't have been able to live until now." Big brother, I owe you, and my life will be yours from now on!"
"Then I ask that you never die in battle in the future. ”
The two looked at each other and smiled.
