Toba thinks it's a good day.

He is afraid of fighting, and he likes to fight, he is afraid of the authority of the noble lord, but when facing a strong enemy, all his muscles will tell him that only the moment a big fist smashes into someone's face is the only truth of the universe.

There are usually three kinds of people in the world: nobles, commoners, and slaves, but on the battlefield there are only two, the strong and the weak, and this simple dichotomy allows the Bazelaar peasants to be free from complicated terms such as attitudes and honorifics, and makes fighting as simple and simple manual labor as growing mushrooms in a greenhouse, which makes Toba feel at ease.

Apparently Jonah disagreed. - The battle was terrifying, Jonah thought as he cowered behind Ryuki.

The battle between the dragon knight and the skeleton has lasted for eight minutes, although Qiao Pu was slightly injured, but the exquisite swordsmanship and high-level enchanted weapons gave him the upper hand, the dragon queen's operation could not keep up with the rhythm of his attack, several purple lines were cut one after another, and the oriental woman suddenly bit the tip of her tongue and sprayed blood on the purple gem, launching the "Dance of the Skeletons".

The skeleton straightened its neck, the purple fire in the dark eye sockets suddenly became vigorous, it twitched all over, the bone joints made a clicking and rubbing sound, and suddenly swung the bone sword, cutting off all the purple threads hanging above its head.

With a "clank", the dagger embedded with gems fell to the ground, and Long Ji sighed palely, her hands hung down, and blood flowed from the wound in her palm.

The skeleton broke free from the summoner's control and landed on the ground, performing a strange and inexplicable dance. In the smoky tavern, the glowing skeleton spun gracefully, its arms around its invisible dance partner, its heels tapping the ground to beat.

"What's going on?" said Chopper, holding his sword on guard, looking a little distressed.

"You ......"

He swallowed back the second half of the sentence, and the shadow of the skeleton filled the tavern, spinning, jumping, spreading its arms, staggering steps, moving slowly, retreating at high speed, changing a thousand dance steps, from a solo dance to a group dance of countless shadows, Jonah heard the wind blowing through the gaps in the skeleton's bones, the mournful scream sounded like a dance accompaniment, and the purple fire in the skull's eye socket transformed into a fluttering firefly in the air.

"It's beautiful. Sibi said.

Is there something wrong with your eyes? It's a white skeleton, a dancing skeleton! Doesn't anyone find it scary?," Jonah said aloud to himself.

Chopper protected his eyes, and the skeleton's bone blades struck from all angles from front, back, up, and down, slashing at the enchanted scale armor with a dense piercing scraping sound.

The dragon knight let out a loud shout, striding his sword out of both hands, slashing a scorching rainbow in the air, and the skeleton spun around his back, gently hugging the dragon knight's neck like a dance partner, and the bone sword gently slashed through Chope's throat. Qiao Pu lowered his head and blocked the attack with the jaw of his helmet, the bone blade crackling and slicing through the protective layer of the "tough" magic, cutting long, deep scars into the dark gold helmet.

"Enough fun!" Chope yelled angrily, quickly retreating out of the skeleton's range and leaning against the wall, taking off his helmet and whistling loudly. Almost at the same time, a low, headache-inducing roar sounded from an unknown distance outside the tavern, and the threatening roar of the beast made Jonah and Sibi feel cold in their palms at the same time, and the two looked at each other: "It's the Golden Land Dragon." ！”

“...... I think my spine is shaking. Including caudal vertebrae. ”

No one has ever seen it, and compared to the earth-walking dragoons that can be found everywhere in the Western Continent, the elite golden earth-walking dragon knights of the elite only exist in terrifying legends. Daddy had lightly cooked the two golden dragon knights, making Jonah underestimate their strength, and now, the dragon shook the entire spirit of the astrologer's apprentice with a roar.

As if sensing a sound, the skeleton stopped dancing and turned its head slightly, its jaw wide open, and its hollow mouth let out a silent roar. Chope grinned at the pale skeleton and made a gesture of prophesy victory.

"Let's stop for a moment. A woman's voice said.

No one knew when she was between the dragon knight and the summon, a woman in her twilight years, full of silver hair, but with two sparkling eyes full of youthful vitality embedded in her wrinkled face. She wore an apron, her hair was pulled up, and she wore sleeves, like an ordinary grandmother next door who had just finished housework and walked from the kitchen to the living room to drink a cup of tea, but from the moment she appeared, everyone's eyes were firmly drawn by her, like a piece of iron attracted by a magnet.

"Stop, I said. I'm so sick of this, it's always like this. Over and over. The old woman shook her head, no joy on her face, "Who are you?" she asked Chope.

The dragon knight was a little wary, but he still lowered his sword and replied politely, "I am Chop Nordan, the knight of the Golden Hammer Cavalry Regiment's personal guard, ma'am." ”

"What about them?" the old woman pointed to the black-clad soldier next to her.

"Cadet and Bizier, cadets of the Knights of the Golden Hammer, ma'am. In addition, the cavalrymen named Dana and Edgar who died at the door just now. Chope looked at the corpse of the dragoon that had been eliminated by Toba and Jekong.

"What about you?" said the old woman, pointing to the three of Jonah.

"Jona II, the astrologer's apprentice, and my companions, the sorcerer Ryuki from the East, and the archer Sibi of Bazelar, Madame. Jonah replied honestly.

"Left Wing Liberation Army. Chope added.

"No, we're tenants of Cherry Cross. Jonah corrected immediately.

"What?" the dragon knight's grey eyes widened.

"I see. The young grandmother rubbed her hands together, and some of the dried flour fell.

"I didn't hear it in the kitchen just now, otherwise you bad boys wouldn't have a chance to mess everything up. You're always like that, causing me trouble. ”

"Excuse me......" Chope asked, his words immediately interrupted.

"Bad boys, I ask everyone a question now, and I must answer it with my heart, and if I answer it correctly, I can forgive you for being naughty. The old lady looked around and said, "Start with the young officer." ”

"Chope, have you tasted my apple pie?" asked the old woman.

"The hostess's apple pie? Oh sure...... Very tasty. I'm devout about food, I can swear by bread and butter. Chope raised his right hand.

"Jonah, have you tasted my apple pie seriously?" asked the old woman.

Jonah quickly recalled the apple pie he had just eaten, vaguely remembering the sweetness of the filling on his tongue and the crispiness of the crust, "Yes, ma'am." I ate it all. Jonah replied calmly.

"Little grasshopper, have you tasted my apple pie?" asked the old woman.

"Yes grandma! I also tasted the steak and the sparkling ale, and I must say, the wine was not bad, the steak was too old, and the amount of pepper in the sauce was too small. Sibi replied, "—and, besides, it's a little cold." She added. After a while, she opened her eyes wide and said, "How do you know this nickname?"

"Long Ji, have you tasted my apple pie seriously?" asked the old woman.

“...... Sorry, I don't care too much about the taste of the food. The Oriental woman slowly stood up and thrust the dagger back into her waist.

"You idiots. The old lady pounded her waist in distress, "I am the only cook here, in addition to the boss lady's apple pie, of course, there are also the boss lady's meat steaks, the boss lady's mashed potatoes, the boss lady's home-brewed ale wine, the boss lady's bean soup, the boss lady's white bread, you don't care if you take my apple pie seriously, I don't care at all." By my age you will know how difficult it is to satisfy the demands of naughty children, and I asked the waitress to put out a sign to make you complain less about other foods. Now, get out of here and don't fight again. ”

Several people looked at the proprietress standing in the middle of the tavern in confusion, and the proprietress wanted to push them out as if she could not see the bleeding corpses, the moaning wounded, the burning tables and chairs, and the broken floor.

"Where did this thing come from?" she frowned, looking up at the tall skeleton.

"I ......" Before Long Ji could explain, the proprietress straightened her arm and snapped her fingers in front of the skeleton's nostrils, "Go home, ugly big man." ”

Long Ji exclaimed, the upright skeleton suddenly collapsed, Long Ji reached out to help, the falling skeleton seemed to make a gesture of wanting to hug, and then slammed to the ground, turning into a purple fine powder, which was immediately blown away by the wind.

"Let your little pet go farther too. The proprietress said to the dragon knight, and Chop was stunned.

"By the way, we need to clean it up. Are you two going to be lazy until dark?" she yelled into the depths of the tavern.

"Got it, hostess......" The bar-waiter rose from the burning ruins of the bar with a distressed look on his face, patting the dust on his chest, and next to his second button, there was a pierced sword hole by Jopp.

"Get up, Jophany, you've been found too. He said with a frown. Under the corpses next to him, the head of the red-haired waitress came out, "This is the end? ”

Chop, Jonah, and Sibby's jaws all clicked at the same time because their mouths were opened too widely.

"You, you, you're not dead?" ......stammered Sibby, pointing at them, and then at the corpses, and at the corpses, and at them.

"These people are really dead. Hard-boned. Jophany replied with an unknown ear on her head and a grin.

"You fools, I say. The proprietress complained, "The world is big, there are so many things you don't understand, don't make a fuss, get out of here, I still have to clean the room." Alas, hopefully, the landlord will not find fault with the hole in the floor when he quits the rent. ”

"That's it, hostess...... The landlord seems to be here. Jophany timidly pointed to the pile of corpses she was hiding.

"Perfect! Then we cleaned up and ran away overnight. The proprietress rubbed her hands together and picked up a broom from nowhere.

"Why aren't you leaving?" she glared at the four of them, "bring these who can still walk." Pointing to the wounded and the cowards who did not participate in the battle, everyone obediently completed their work.

As Jonah and Chope walked out of the tavern side by side, they both felt dizzy and felt that something was wrong.

"Hello, Chope. The dragon knight held out his hand.

"Hello, Jonah. The astrologer apprentice shook hands with him blankly.

"I was impressed by those two outrageous attacks. Chope laughed.

"No, I'm still an apprentice. I can't do anything well. Jonah said discouragedly.

"Everybody's from that 'unseeded bastard' years. Chope sighed.
