Chapter Fifty-Six: First Encounter with a Stranger

In the hilly terrain of the Barbarian Land, the day is still covered in a gray cloak, and the winter sun seems to have abandoned it, and Lyon has not seen the sun since he woke up. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 At this moment, he was fully armed and climbing along the uneven rocks to the top of the hill.

It was the largest of the caves, standing tall above all the surrounding hills, and even Leon, who was so energetic, climbed to the top of it without taking a breath. The top was flat, and the area was large, more than three times the size of the open space at the mouth of the cave. The wide field of vision made the bored young man's heart feel a lot more comfortable.

took off his helmet and let his face feel the touch of the wind, he was not afraid of the cold at all, and he felt that the cold wind in winter was also so kind. Leon's slightly childish face smiled helplessly, yes, only people who are extremely bored will climb to a high place in this turbulent era and blow the wind leisurely.

It's been 4 days since Uncle Luo left, and he obviously didn't expect Leon's recovery speed to be so fast, and this young man had already overfulfilled the training tasks he had assigned. The hungry Leon was eager to learn new knowledge of knights, but the teacher was not there, and the wings did not know anything about the knight's fighting skills, so he had no choice but to wait.

Leon didn't want to divert his attention, but there was nothing new in the empty cave and the boring surroundings. Only the mysterious wooden box could bring some stimulation to his monotonous nerves. Thinking of this, Leon made a bitter gourd face again, he really wanted to cry without tears, but the wooden box engraved with strange words couldn't be opened. It is obviously made of wood, but it is as hard as a stubborn stone, and all kinds of ways have been exhausted, and the box is still intact.

According to Feather Wing, the box may have been cast with some kind of magic, and the strange text may be a spell to open the box, but only if someone can read it. Leon pulled out his sword in a huff and swung it vigorously, his mouth bursting with words: "No one teaches swordsmanship, that damn wooden box can't be opened, the empire is waiting for me to build, the people are waiting for me to deliver, and I'm here to sit and die!"

Suddenly, a dull moan interrupted the knight's train of thought, and he put away his grumbling, stopped what he was doing, and heard the sound. I saw a human arm a little loose on the rock at the top of the hill, and after a few more painful sounds, a low head on his thin shoulders came out from below. Leon, who saw the stranger for the first time after waking up, was a little confused, and he stood there with a blank expression, looking at the male human, dragging his whole body up with great difficulty.

As if he had no strength to raise his head, the stranger lay on the rock in a large shape like a crumble, gasping for air from exhaustion, and the rapid and muffled sound was like a pack horse about to be exhausted.

"Is it a companion?" Leon thought in his heart, "No, Uncle Luo has only been to the assembly place for 4 days, and it is impossible for a companion to come back so soon." ”

"If it's not a friend, it's probably an enemy!" Leon's expression instantly became serious, and Leon quickly took a few steps back. If you still can't use your real name in a place where you can't go off the beaten track, you can imagine how bad your situation is, and you have to be cautious everywhere.

The sound of the rubbing of the armor as he retreated reached the stranger's ears, and he raised his head feebly, and after blinking his eyes a few times, he crawled up with lightning speed.

Leon gripped the hilt of his sword as he removed his shield from his back. Vigilantly watched the surprise visitor of this silent hill. He was still panting from overwork, short and thin, dressed in a gray loose robe, as if he had never washed it, and his dusty face was imprinted with mediocre features. looks like he's very young, but the embarrassing beard that he hasn't taken care of for a long time makes him look a little young and old. Obviously a big man, but he has shoulder-length brown hair, messy and oily sticking together.

The stranger was not carrying any weapons on his body, and was carrying only a normal yellow duffel bag behind him. Leon did not lose his vigilance at all, he knew that on the continent of Carrotea, there were many forces that did not use weapons to kill people. With a wave of his hand, he pointed the tip of his sword at the stranger: "Who are you?"

"Demon, demon, demon、、、 demon!" the stranger repeated a word mechanically!

"What an arrogance, to call yourself a demon!" Leon muttered to himself.

"What are you here for?"

"Kill, kill, kill!" The important thing was said three times, well, as soon as the word stranger killed came out, Leon suddenly felt that his judgment was correct, this guy who claimed to be a demon was indeed the enemy who came to kill. He hurriedly held his shield in front of his chest and crouched down slightly, while bending his elbows to retract his sword, making a posture ready to attack.

"If you want to kill me, I don't know if you have the ability!"

As soon as the stranger heard this, he began to get anxious, and Leon saw that his expression became a little distorted, his brows furrowed and raised, his mouth wide open, and at the same time his hands were stretched out straight, and his palms were facing forward, and he shook rapidly. With a hard kick of his legs, the knight lunged forward.

Uncle Luo said that the enemies who will attack with spells have precursors, and they must pay attention to their mouth shapes and gestures, and once they find something abnormal, they must attack quickly, and they cannot be left enough time to cast spells. The guy's wide mouth and shaking palm in front of him were the precursors of spell casting, so Leon decided to strike first.

When the first sword slashed down, the stranger dodged in confusion, and fled to the side with a rolling belt. A smile suddenly appeared on the corner of Leon's mouth, and it seemed that not giving him time to cast spells was the right choice. It's another horizontal slash, but it's a pity that Leon, who has not been trained in systematic swordsmanship, moves a little clumsy, otherwise this sword will definitely be able to cut through his chest before he jumps back to dodge.

Seeing that the stranger was not in a good situation, he ran away, while Leon chased after him with his weapon brandished. The two men circled around the edge of the top of the hill.

"Stop, don't run!" shouted Leon, who was in power!

"No, no, no!"

"Surrender quickly, I will spare you from death!"

"No, no, no,"

"Hey, I'm quite backbone, see if I don't catch up and split you!"

"No, no。。。。。。 Don't fight!"

The last three words, apparently, were not heard by Leon. Because, a creepy beast roar, overshadowed all sounds.

The two of them suddenly stopped in unison, and when they looked back, a huge beast with white hair appeared on the other side of the top of the hill. It landed on its stout limbs, but it was more than a man tall, and on its broad head the beast's face was hideous, and its jaw was full of long, sharp fangs and a disgusting mucus.

Leon stared at him with some horror, perhaps because it was the first time he had seen a creature other than a human, and it was so terrifying, he was a little overwhelmed by the grinning and roaring beast that he forgot to raise his shield.

At that moment, the stranger's thin and frigid body took a stride to block the knight who was standing there stupidly like a stake. After relaxing his posture slightly, he suddenly exerted force, and two blazing flames appeared out of thin air on his flat palm.

With a loud shout, the stranger threw the fire in his hands at the rushing beast.
