Chapter 51: The Wild Boar
"Hum-"
A wild boar, a boar covered in armor-like substance, appeared in front of the caravan, snorted a few times with its nose, and charged in the direction of the caravan.
"Be careful!"
Several guards shouted in panic, and they drew their long swords and nervously faced the wild boar that was galloping towards them, and the hand holding the sword trembled uncontrollably.
"Bang! Bang! ”
With several dull sounds in succession, the giant boar slammed into several guards with an unstoppable momentum.
Even with their armor on, the hapless guards flew a few meters away, their slashes that did little damage to the boar, or even break through its bony defenses.
"Bone Armor Boar? Interesting. ”
Sean played with the seed in his hand and looked out the window with interest.
A low-level monster, an apprentice-level bone armor boar, the surface of its body is covered with a hard bone-like substance, and its defense is very strong, but its attack ability is not high.
Most of the monsters do not have a professional rank, but when people rank them according to their strength, they also apply the hierarchy of professionals for the sake of comparison, i.e., apprentice, apprentice, formal, master, and so on.
But monsters are different from professionals, sometimes their actual combat ability is not within the range of a certain professional level, such as between the probationary level and the official level, there is a large gap in combat power, which is very difficult to define.
Therefore, all the monsters that trainee-level professionals can't deal with alone, people put them into the formal-level monsters, even if these monsters may be able to be eliminated with a wave of their hands for the form-level powerhouse.
In the same way, this so-called bone armor boar, although it is said to be an apprentice-level monster, is actually just that its defense ability is too strong for ordinary people to cause damage to it.
Drawing his swords from behind, Sean jumped out of the carriage and stopped Haytham from trying to strike.
"I'm here to play with it, it just happened to be level 8, and I'm using this guy to practice his skills."
Sean smiled, and without even blessing himself with a strengthened type of spell, he rushed forward with his twin swords.
"Apprentice Spell - Potential Stimulation"
"Apprentice Skill - Meteor Combo"
A look of excitement appeared on Sean's face, and he leapt to his feet, the ring and twin blades on his hand lit up.
Brilliant sword light flew out from the tail of the blade, Sean's hands danced wildly, and the fierce air flow brought by the two swords even made the people around him can't help but retreat.
The ghostly figure flashed beside the bone armor boar, and the powerful impact of the first few swords lifted the body of the bone armor boar into the air, and blood splattered everywhere, the bone armor that was very hard for ordinary people had no effect in front of Sean's combat skills.
Sean quickly came to the bottom of it, constantly swinging his sword at the boar in the air, and in just three seconds, Sean slashed a dozen in a row.
"Die!"
A death-like proclamation rang out, and Sean struck the final blow.
The body of the bone boar cracked in response to the sound, turning into several huge fragments in the air and falling to the ground.
The two swords were unsheathed, and the filth such as blood and internal organs was blocked by Sean with mana, and with a happy mood, he returned to the carriage.
Sean also knows that his combat skills are not very good, and he is far worse than the fighters, but he just likes to play melee combat and enjoy this kind of powerful fighting.
In the face of such a weak opponent, he showed the double sword behind his back to find a thrill for himself, if the enemy is very strong, he will not die like this.
Haytham began to instruct his subordinates to clean up the corpses, and these pieces could be sold for some money, and with his plucking personality, he would never let go.
In the course of their journey, they encountered various monsters many times, and Sean often showed off his double swords, which aroused the curiosity of Bilair and others, and even wanted to buy them.
However, after inquiring, they understood the situation of these two swords, and they couldn't help but feel a little regretful in their hearts.
The caravan continued to depart, undisturbed by this little episode.
After more than ten days of travel, they have entered the territory of the Kingdom of Karis, and it is expected that they will be able to reach Hogg City by tonight.
……
"Stop, where did you come from? Goods, let's check them. ”
On the main road outside Hoggel, a group of formally dressed soldiers stopped Sean and the others.
Judging from the costume, this is a soldier of the Karis Kingdom, and he should be responsible for patrolling and security.
There were a total of twenty soldiers in the team, of which 5 were professionals, 1 was level 3, and 4 were level 1, all of whom were knights.
Haytham wiped the sweat from his head with a large bag of silver coins in his hand, and stepped out of the carriage to negotiate with the other party.
After some exchange, Haytham handed the bag out of his hand, and the level 3 knight took it and looked at it carefully, nodded to Haytham with satisfaction, and signaled that the caravan did not need to be checked.
Although these soldiers are ordered by their superiors to check on pedestrians crossing the border, they usually take this opportunity to get a little oil and water, especially in this special period, when they are even more unscrupulous in the face of people who come to take refuge.
It's good that there are professionals in Haytham's caravans, but for those pedestrians and caravans who don't have professionals, they are even more aggressive, grabbing things and even killing people if they don't go their way.
Don't be confused, they just have such a right, because theoretically speaking, Sean and the others are all smugglers, but no one cares about them in the Faren Continent.
There is a reason why the professions among these soldiers are basically "knights".
A long time ago, not long after the birth of the professional system, there were a total of seven professions.
They are the Mage, Warlock, and Druid who belong to the caster, and the Knight, Warrior, Assassin, and Ranger who belong to the Warcaster.
Later, the entire world experienced two legendary-level super dogfights, which involved many informational battles, which led to the rise and fall of a large number of classes.
The ancient knight and mage were the most powerful classes of warcasters and spellcasters, respectively, and knights used contracts to obtain mounts, grow with mounts, and rely on each other in battle, achieving the effect that one plus one is greater than two.
However, in the Battle of Godfall, the knight was sealed by the gods as an important means of the mount contract from the information level, causing the knight to lose the blessing of the mount, and since then he has been in a state of collapse and has been reduced to the lowest existence among the professionals.
Although the combat power is at the bottom, and the difficulty of upgrading has also increased significantly, knights are also a kind of professional, at least they are still stronger than ordinary people, so many forces will still recruit some knights as low-level combat power, and joining the army is the choice of many people.
After several investigations, the caravan finally entered the city of Hogel with great surprise and settled down temporarily.
