Chapter Thirty-Eight: The Scorpion Bandit Cooper
Barron Collar.
Marginal regions.
It is located at the junction of the kingdom of Sydes and the Howling Wolf Grassland.
Law and order do not exist, and bandits run rampant.
A young man with a masked face and two sturdy men crossed the mountains and mountains to a cottage.
"Tell you boss, there's an old friend looking for him."
It didn't take long for the young man to be invited into the cottage and straight into the hall.
"Brother Ivey, what kind of wind blew you here today?"
On the main seat of the hall, a bald man smiled with a greasy face, and a scorpion was tattooed on his bare head.
If anyone who is well-informed is here, they will definitely recognize that the bald man is the notorious leader of the scorpion bandits within a radius of 100 miles, known as Cooper the scorpion.
Hearing Cooper call himself, Ivy was secretly angry:
In the past, when his father Kelly Fu was still alive, the other party did not dare to call him "Brother Ivey".
That sounds rude.
And.
If it weren't for Kellyford's covert support, how could he Cooper develop to this point.
Ivy was young in the end, and he couldn't hide his thoughts on his face, and Cooper saw the displeasure in his heart:
Cooper's face grew gloomy.
Give you face and call you "Brother Ivey", if you don't give face, I will chop you directly.
Cooper won't forget Kellyford's commands to himself like a dog.
The two knights who were escorting Ivey sensed something was wrong and nudged Ivey lightly.
"Ah, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, Chief Cooper, I was distracted."
Ivey reacted, and said with emptiness:
"You also know that my family has undergone a drastic change, which has caused me to be easily distracted lately."
"It's okay, it's okay, I understand."
Cooper pretended to be sad, "Master Kelly Fu is kind-hearted and upright, and no one could have imagined that he would suffer such a fate, which is really sad and lamentable." ”
After the two of them acted a few words, Ivey finally explained his intentions.
He is willing to provide a safe road within the Barron's realm, through which he can quickly raid the outlying villages.
And Ivy doesn't ask for anything in return.
I just want Cooper to do as much damage as possible, so that Barron can lead the wolf smoke everywhere.
"Brother Ivey, it's not that I don't want to help you, but you know that I don't have many people under me. The new lord of Barron seems to be a ruthless character, and if I provoke him, even ten heads will not be enough for him to cut off. ”
"Don't worry, the path I provided is far away from Rich City, and he will definitely not have time to support."
Ivy didn't care, and continued to persuade: "And you have a lot of horses in the cottage, coming and going like the wind, who can catch up with you?" ”
"Don't forget, Chief Cooper, that in two months at most, those monsters in the south will invade, and they will not only raid the Barron Territory, but all the prey they pass along the way."
Cooper frowned and patted his bald head.
Ivey's words just spoke to his heart.
In this area, the alien race of the wolf howling grassland is undoubtedly the first to be vicious.
The only one who can wrestle with it is the Barron Leader, but the Barron Leader does not wrestle his wrist in terms of strength, but uses the tail breaking tactic.
The territory of Barron is wide and there are few aliens, so they will never directly serve Barron's territory.
In previous years, every season.
Cooper would take the brothers to live in the "safe house" provided by Kellyford.
This is the only way to dodge the blades of the aliens.
"Brother Ivey, as you say...... Even if I plundered a few villages, what good would it do me, and it wouldn't help me fight off those monsters. ”
"No, no, no, it's not for you to resist monsters, but ...... It! ”
As he spoke, Ivy mysteriously pulled out a wolf tooth.
The wolf's tooth is one palm's length, the upper half is gray and white, and the lower half is yellow-white. The graying is clearly the part of the tooth that is embedded in the gums.
But even minus the gray part, the length of the wolf's fangs is extremely terrifying.
It can be seen that the wolf that produced it must be huge.
"It's so that the aliens don't invade your cottage!"
"Shhhh
Cooper gasped, "You have this!" ”
……
The celebration of the Barron Collar took place as scheduled.
The inhabitants of the Fortile, Left and Right Acropolis celebrated as if they were a festival.
Several squares have been cleared in the town, enough for people to eat, drink, and play, and the sheriff's office has personnel to maintain law and order.
Even if you walk through the villages around the three cities like a satellite, there are guards who carry food to them.
At this moment, the entire Barron is singing the praises of Lord William's favor.
Black Rock Fort.
William took Thrannie's hand and pretended to be an ordinary brother and sister to wander around the city of Plenty.
Brayman and his guards were far behind, and not only him, but also Just, who had been given a day off by William, was walking aimlessly down the streets.
"Seranee, don't eat too much candy, it's not good for your teeth."
"Oh-"
Still, Thranie shoved a toffee into her mouth and puffed up her cheeks.
"You." William rubbed her little head and confiscated the remaining sugar.
Perhaps eating sweets is every child's hobby, and Serranee is no exception.
There is no shortage of food in Black Rock Castle, even the toffee, which is extremely precious to civilians, can be eaten as a snack by Thrani.
Outwardly, the kingdom of Sydes seems to be in the Middle Ages, including food, which also echoes the situation of the Middle Ages.
For example, the food is really not abundant.
For ordinary civilians, their staple food is brown bread, potatoes, vegetable soup, bean paste. Occasionally, you can eat a thick soup with meat, baked meatloaf, and smoked fish.
But the lord was naturally not so difficult.
No matter what the era, the aristocracy could be well treated.
As far as William is concerned, he can eat meat every time, mutton, beef, pork, chickens and ducks...... and all kinds of birds, such as geese.
Of course, fruits, honey products, dairy products, alcohol, etc. will not be less.
The two didn't stay around for long before they met a lot of familiar faces.
"Collar ......"
Aleister Crowley was about to salute when William stopped him.
"I'll take my sister Seranee out on the streets, Aleister, don't you have any companions with you?"
"Uh...... I'm obsessed with studying magic, and I haven't made any friends yet. ”
"This is not good, it will be boring if you stay alone for a long time."
William looked left and right and found a man in a similar state to Aleister:
"Well, Just's over there, you can hang out with him."
Aleister was about to refuse, but William said again: "Don't worry, there is a task for you." Just's life is unfamiliar, and you two can just take care of it, and by the way, you tell him some stories about magic. ”
A story of magic?
What is the story of magic? Aleister didn't quite understand what William meant.
Moreover, he and Justter had only met a few times in Black Rock Fort, and neither had spoken a few words.
Wouldn't it be a little embarrassing?
"Justter has always thought of magic as a very dangerous ability, but from what I've seen, magic doesn't seem that scary."
"So, you tell me a story about magic with him."
