As we continue to the south, the forest looks very different from the north bank of the Luyin River, with almost no straight trees, and thick vines twisted around the knotted giant trees, like veins rising from rough skin, and like a giant's arm sticking out from the ground, lifting up the canopy that covers the sky and the sun. All sorts of weird big-leaved shrubs can be found everywhere, joining together to form a jagged green barrier, the ground is overgrown with ancient ferns, and in some damp places, you can see brightly colored species, and this is when the goblin Rami usually tells everyone that it is poisonous.

Gallaher, who has been wandering in the forest for many years, leads the way, his special serrated long knife can quickly cut through the vine grass and open up walking space, the mercenary leader is experienced in the jungle, and he can judge the direction by the posture of the bushes and the shape of the moss, and find a shortcut to take the team to the Mausai River, a tributary of the Luyin River, and then face south along the small river, you can meet the dwarven village.

Compared to the cave dwarves in the north, the plains dwarves in the south are more nature-loving and live in areas rich in minerals, where the plains giants are their good companions, and usually in a village, there are one or two giants who help the dwarves transport ore. Dwarves are born with a love of metal, and the vast majority of adult men are excellent craftsmen, and their leaders use their special bloodline to engrave runes on blades and increase various attack attributes, and are known as rune masters by humans.

For thousands of years, rune masters and dwarven craftsmen have been captured by humans, forced to become slaves and forge fine weapons, and this hatred accumulated over generations is so strong that even 10,000 barrels of delicious ale cannot be dissolved.

It was getting dark, and the expedition team that had been marching all day camped on a flat meadow to rest, perhaps just a short distance from the river, and did not encounter any danger on the first day, except for a black armored lizard with a hard carapace to bring a little fright, and a group of round-bellied hornets suddenly surrounded the team, Paul and a white horse were in the worst condition, with several huge swolls bulging on their bodies, if it weren't for Rami's antiseptic potion, I am afraid that it would be very difficult to walk.

Brian casually ate some jerky, leaned against the roots of the big tree, fiddling with the fine iron sword in his hand, his expression was still a little gloomy, and he was silent along the way. Evidently, the death of the barbarian had dampened his mood, so much so that the whole procession marched in a dull state, and neither the joking Byrne nor the twittering Pemba did not speak that day.

Brian stood up and stretched, walked over to Helois and Lillian, watched the female warrior nailing the tent bracket neatly, squatted down and said, "Lilian, I want to talk to you." ”

Lilian was a little surprised, glanced back at Brian, and continued to **** work.

"Is that okay, Hylois?" said Brian, asking for Miss's opinion.

"Please. Helois replied.

"Do you want me to obey your commands, sir?" Lilian asked faintly.

"Yes, as strong as you are, I don't think you can act recklessly," Brian said, "and every member of the squad should obey my commands. ”

"Is your plan to avoid it, and the barbarians will not be moved by your kindness. ”

"It's not just kindness, it's a more visionary intention, although the result is not good. Brian sighed, "But if you kill at will, it's only going to get worse." ”

"Whoever upsets me, I'll kill whomever I want, possibly including you. Lillian stood up, drew her sword and pointed it at Brian's heart.

Brian took a step back, speechless for a moment, and for the sake of Helois's face, he couldn't have a seizure.

"Lillian, put the sword down and speak. Helois advised.

Lilian flipped her wrist, put her sword back into her sheath, thought for a moment and said, "That's it, let's make a bet, I'll give you a chance, as long as you defeat me, I will obey your orders." ”

Brian smiled awkwardly: "This sentence is equivalent to not saying it, we are one level behind." ”

"We only compete in swordsmanship, not in fighting spirit, and we don't need equipment. Lillian walked to a large tree and picked up a branch at random, "Just use the branch." ”

"Really, with branches?" said Brian, "don't blame me for not reminding you, I used to be a royal guard, my teacher, an authentic descendant of Richardnell's longsword stream, and I had been trained by him for four months. ”

"It's okay, I can still let you. Lilian said, "You can attack ten times, and if you hit my body with a branch once, I will lose." ”

Brian was stunned and asked, "Your teacher is ......?"

"Heaven, earth, water, and wind. Lillian held the branch to her chest, a little impatient, "Go get the branch, man." ”

Brian looked down and chose a long branch as a stabbing sword, and a broken branch as a defensive sword, the broken branch had a branch, which was used as a long sword in the slot to jam the opponent, and then counterattacked. The viscount had great confidence in his swordsmanship, and he was the best among the guards in terms of footwork and technical strikes, and he felt that women were too proud to win easily without three moves.

"Remember, you can only use your own powers. Brian stepped out in a lunge, with the "long sword" in his right hand in front and the "short sword" in his left hand protecting his lower abdomen.

Lilian nodded: "If I start my fighting spirit, I will lose." ”

Bryan took advantage of the woman's speech and used the shameless thunderbolt lightning strike, stabbing his opponent in the shoulder with a step on his hind legs, intending to take advantage of his unpreparedness to defeat the enemy. Lillian had a smile on her face, and the branch in her hand was on Brian's branch, her body was half-wrong, her arm swirled, and she directly twisted the Viscount's branch and flew out.

"No, no, I didn't pay attention. Brian picked up the twig and said.

"The first sword. "Lillian doesn't care about men at all.

Brian's old face flushed, and he threw the short branch in his hand violently, and then immediately slashed over, Lillian reacted very quickly, threw herself on the ground and rolled, let go of the attack, and then swept with her legs, Brian fell on his back, sat on the ground, and slashed only to the air above his head.

"The second sword. ”

"I'm fighting with you!" Brian was so angry that he jumped up and hit him with brute force, regardless of whether Lillian could stab himself or not, anyway, if he could stab her, he would win. Lilian turned around to dodge, pushed Brian seven or eight meters away, and planted another dog gnaw ().

"The third sword. ”

"The fourth sword. ”

......

"The Seventh Sword. ”

"The eighth sword. ”

Brian lay on the ground panting, he had a feeling of wanting to cry, his subordinates were watching from the side, this time it was a shame, maybe it will be forever in "Human Jokes". The man's eyes turned twice, and he shot up with both hands, and danced a few sword flowers with the branches, and attacked Lilian in a virtual and real way, who knew that the woman was not confused, and directly pressed a sword against Brian's throat, so that he could not move an inch.

"The Ninth Sword. ”

"Alright, alright, I'll throw in the towel. Brian hung his head, "If you admit defeat, I don't care what you do in the future." ”

"It's good to know the gap. Lillian withdrew her branch, slightly smug.

"I want to apprentice, please teach me swordsmanship. Brian crouched at Lillian's feet and secretly put a freshly caught multicolored caterpillar on his boot.

"You...... Yes...... Worm!" Lillian was so frightened that the six gods were left without a master, and she jumped up in panic. Brian poked the woman's back lightly with a twig, overjoyed. "Tenth sword, you lose! Haha, I know that no woman is not afraid of caterpillars. ”
