Chapter 4: Killing the Minotaur Troll in Anger
Swordsman!! This is a very respectful title for people living on the absurd continent. They represent many heroic exorcists, and in order to slay monsters, they must use the swords sung by the sacred texts, and those who wield these swords are 'swordsmen'. Swordsman is not an easy profession to get a job, if you want to become a swordsman, you must at least have the physical fitness of one in a hundred, and at the same time, swordsman is not a good profession, and the number of swordsmen who die every year is as high as hundreds. However, even so, people still follow one after another, scrambling to choose swordsman as a profession. Because swordsmen not only have a good salary and a broad future, but more importantly, the human dislike and hatred for monsters, which is a means of revenge for those who want to take revenge on monsters, and a protective measure for those who want to protect their families.
The absurd continent, monsters are rampant, hundreds of miles of mountains are crisscrossed, and thousands of miles of rivers roar. Everywhere is full of primitive and barbaric fighting, and in the face of the powerful demons, human beings survive and are reduced to food and tools. Until an old wise man comprehended the truth from the ancient sacred texts, and borrowed the power of the sacred texts to shape a divine sword capable of slaying demons. His twelve children became the first 'swordsmen'. Twelve swordsmen with Excalibur have each established their own clan, and they have led their troops to slay the haze of monsters, opening up territory and guiding the path of light for humanity. After defeating the monsters, they established the five kingdoms of splendor, providing shelter for humanity to thrive. They also became the kings of the human race as a matter of course, ascended to the throne of the human emperor, ruled the five kingdoms, and possessed supreme power.
In order to fight against the monsters that constantly harass the human city, the Human Emperor taught the 'Swordsman Technique' to the world. They carefully explained, passed on the scriptures, and through continuous training, the world mastered the forging methods and combat skills of the Excalibur, and the combat power of human beings has been unprecedentedly improved. According to the talent of reading scriptures and comprehending skills, people who have learned the 'skill of a swordsman' are divided into ranks. They are:
Swordsman (a person who has initially learned the skills of a swordsman and can feel the 'sword qi') - the great swordsman (a person who is proficient in the application of the skills of a swordsman and the 'sword qi') - the chief swordsman (a person who has used the skills of a swordsman and the 'sword qi' to the point of supernatural transformation) - the sword king general (a person who has read the scriptures, mastered the secret 'sword intent', and changed the form of the sword according to his own will) - sword emperor (a person who resonates with the divine sword, skillfully uses the 'sword intent' to integrate into heaven and earth, and can borrow the power of nature)
At present, there are tens of thousands of swordsmen, thousands of great swordsmen, hundreds of swordsmen and 108 sword kings in the seven kingdoms. However, the supreme position of the Sword Emperor has been untouchable by the world, and only the original twelve Human Emperors have the honorific title of 'Sword Emperor'.
And no matter what kind of title they have, what kind of status they have, all swordsmen have a common goal, that is, to defeat the leader of the demons, the strange man who crossed over from another world, the one they once thought was the brave, the 'Infinite Demon King'.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Seeing the golden light flashing on the back of Levi's hand, the mechanical female voice sounded in Zhencheng's brain again.
... New Class Unlocks... Number of summons[20]...
Hearing this, Zhencheng quickly opened the recruitment interface. This time, there are a few more classes to choose from in the recruitment interface. This time, the type of soldier made Masumi feel reassured, and in front of him were some human troops in armor. Sword and shield soldiers, axe men, shortbow hunters, and doctors. Finally, it's time to fight back! Zhencheng looked at these troops, and his confidence increased in an instant. He quickly selected his troops and pressed the recruit button.
A few blinding flashes of light lit up again on the vast grassland. The first to come out were 15 sword and shield soldiers, followed by 5 shortbow hunters. Based on his previous experience playing 'Strife', this lineup is the best formation for hunting large creatures. He commanded the fighters to begin mobilization. One sword and shield soldier controlled Levi, who was about to struggle to get up, and the remaining 14 sword and shield soldiers were automatically divided into two groups of 7 people, and the remaining 5 shortbow hunters followed closely behind and rushed to the battlefield near the shopping street to rescue Lilisa who was trapped.
The minotaur in the distance also noticed the strange situation, and it walked quickly towards Lilisa, and in the frightened eyes of everyone, it opened its large hand and squeezed Lilisa on the ground. With a strong grip, Lilisa let out a scream of pain. The minotaur troll looked at this scene, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, as if he was enjoying the torture. Then, it lifted Lilisa in front of it and walked straight towards Shinjo's army. It's going to use Lilisa as a shield! This huge guy has such intelligence! Majo was taken aback, and he hurriedly stopped the army from attacking rashly, so as not to hurt Lilisa. The two sides were thus deadlocked on the battlefield.
The cool breeze was blowing, blowing Makoto's thin pajamas stained with mud, feeling the coolness, and Masei couldn't help but fight a cold war. It seems that this place also has a day and night division, and it is about to usher in the evening hour. It's been a long day! Masei thought as he looked at the setting sun. I fell into this world while playing a game in the morning, and I have already fought monsters to the death in the evening. Makomi tensed his body, trying to control his body, which was constantly shaking from the cold. Although the temperature continues to decrease as the sun sets, Makoto's heart is extremely hot. At this moment, Lilisa is still in the hands of the minotaur, her right arm is bleeding, and she doesn't know if she will die in the next battle. However, through fear and uneasiness, there was still a trace of excitement in Makoto's heart. I was dizzy when I went out, and I even had my own army. It seems that as long as he continues to fight, he has changed the original ending of dying in a rental house. A better and more fun start.
I don't know if it's the adrenaline that affects Mako's emotions, or if the feeling of excitement lifts up his adrenaline. Shinseung ignited his fighting spirit, the pain in his right hand gradually subsided, and the fear of the minotaur troll also subsided. He thought about it, the minotaur troll was humanoid, and perhaps its weak point was similar to that of a human. Just use the surrounding houses as cover, send two sword and shield soldiers around it to sneak up on its hind legs, and then have the Shortbow Hunter attack the tendons of the Minotaur Troll's arm at the same time, and even if you accidentally injure Lilisa, you have to let it go! Masei's bloodshot eyes stared fiercely at the troll.
"Kill!!" At the sound of the command, the shortbow hunters fired a volley, their feathers whizzing towards the bull-headed troll. Seeing this, the minotaur troll hurriedly lifted Lilisa to her chest. But it was too large for the petite Lilisa to stop it. One arrow feather pierced Lilisa's shoulder, and more pierced the Minotaur's arm. The minotaur troll was in pain, and the grip in his hand decreased. Lilisa seized the opportunity to twist her body desperately to break free from the minotaur's grasp and fall to the ground. The Bull Demon retreated while fending off the arrows.
Golden opportunity! Masei hurriedly controlled the sword and shield soldiers who had been around the front to jump out from both sides of the houses in the shopping street, and the sharp sword slashed down, slashing at the hamstrings of the troll's legs. Moo!! The minotaur fell to his knees in pain, his massive body collapsing. No matter how thick its skin and flesh are, it can't bear to be hit by such two swords in its legs with multiple injuries on its body. The minotaur troll breathed hot white and gasped for breath. The wound cut by Li Zhijian's sword before also showed its effect at this moment. The bleeding wounds caused the minotaur troll to lose a lot of blood, and with new injuries to his arms and legs, the brute force monster was also exhausted.
Shinjo commanded the sword and shield soldiers to rush forward, and several sharp blades slashed at the bull-headed troll, slashing its skin and flesh. The minotaur troll resisted stubbornly under the stimulus of pain, and waved his arms to knock the sword and shield soldiers to the ground, but there were too many sword and shield soldiers, and if they knocked down one, there would be another place for him. Under the strong attack of the sword and shield soldiers, the minotaur troll gradually lost his ability to move, and his hands hung down weakly.
It's just the final blow! Makomi thought to himself as he looked at the dying troll. He led his warriors forward, his heart pounding. It was his first battle in the other world, and it seemed that the cheers of the crowd were already ringing in his ears. But before Zhencheng could make a move, a figure suddenly flashed, quickly approaching the bull-headed troll at a speed beyond ordinary people. In the astonished gaze of the crowd, the head of the minotaur troll slipped off its neck and slammed into the ground with a dull thud.
"Hahahaha!" The figure laughed a few times and said in an approving tone, "Not bad, not bad!" Thank you all! As soon as he finished speaking, the figure jumped up and jumped onto the lawn behind Majo. He raised his right hand and turned into a palm and slammed it into the ground. Rumble!!! In an instant, the whole earth trembled. Trembling, two huge monsters were shaken out of the ground. They resembled the minotaur troll, but were different. One of them was covered in a light brown carapace, while the other was jet-black.
No way! It's pangolins and moles!! Masei looked at the two new trolls in amazement. One of the trolls resembles a pangolin, while the other resembles a gigantic mole. What shocked him even more was the gray-robed figure that blasted the two behemoths out with a single blow. The gray-robed figure's eyes converged at this moment, staring at the two fierce monsters in front of him. He reached out and touched his waist, and quickly drew the blue-handled sword from his waist. "Die!" The gray-robed figure said lightly, he raised his hand and waved the long sword, the strength seemed to be small, but it contained invisible and powerful energy. This energy compresses the surrounding air, forming high-pressure air blades. The high-pressure air blade slices through the troll in front of it at breakneck speed. The two trolls didn't even have a chance to react, and were instantly cut into several uneven pieces of meat.
The dust fell, and the air around them was as silent as death. Everyone was speechless in shock by the aura of this gray-robed figure.
"City. . . Lord Castle. Finally, Levi, who was pressed under him by the sword and shield soldiers, was the first to speak, barely squeezing a few words out of his mouth.
"Huh? Levi? What's wrong with you? This gray-robed figure known as the city lord found Li Wei, who was controlled by the sword and shield soldiers. He threw out a blue-handled sword in his right hand, and the sword shuttled back and forth around everyone as if he were conscious, and the final blow pierced the sword and shield soldier who controlled Levi. The sword and shield soldiers that were hit shattered into several points of light in an instant, and disappeared completely. "Huh?" The gray-robed figure looked at these points of light for a moment, and then turned his attention to Levi again.
"Lord of the Castle! Fast! Hurry up and kill that yellow-robed boy!! He's related to the 'Infinite' Demon King! Levi broke free of control and struggled to his feet, pointing at Shinseung with a trembling hand. Zhen Cheng, who was pointed out, had a frightened face, he knew that he was definitely not the opponent of this gray-robed city lord.
"What's your name, boy?" The gray-robed city lord didn't seem to have the desire to kill Zhencheng urgently, but asked leisurely.
"My name is Maseung." Masei replied quickly, not daring to slack off for a moment, nor daring to lie. He knew that if he said more or mispronounced a word, he would be slashed instantly by the flying sword.
"I see you're dressed strangely, not like a local. Where are you from? The gray-robed city lord asked, approaching Zhencheng. He slowly walked in front of Zhencheng, and Zhencheng also saw the true face of this person. It was a middle-aged man of about forty or fifty years of age, with sharp eyes, a hooked nose, a large mouth, and white eyebrows that were long and fluttering in the wind.
"Uh, I... I'm from ......" was speechless, he wanted to tell the truth, but the truth sounded like a lie. He looked at the bright-eyed man in front of him, and a bold idea sprung up in his head. I want to see this person's stats! Masako thought to himself. Anyway, things have come to this point, don't look at it in vain. Just do what you say, Zhencheng silently thought in her heart, and quickly opened the information interface.
Neutral unit: Zhong Shan, 49 years old. (Details are blocked by the owner and cannot be viewed)
Class: Sword King General (Proficiency Level)
Status: No contract (temporary)
What kind of master is this?! Makoto reads the content of the interface. For the first time, he met someone who would block his messages. Could it be that this person is also a traverser?
"Hey, boy, what do I ask you?" The man named Zhong Shan interrupted Makoto's thoughts, and a hint of coercion was released between his words. This simple trace of coercion has made the current true Cheng feel a strong sense of oppression. Large beads of sweat condensed on Zhencheng's brain, and he had no way to deal with it. Let's be honest! Facing the Zhongshan City Lord, Zhencheng gritted his teeth and said, "I'm from a very distant place, and I can't tell where it is. It's like a different world to me. After saying that, Maseung gritted his teeth and waited for the judgment of fate.
After hearing this, Zhong Shan had a gloomy face and stared at Zhencheng tightly. That sharp gaze seemed to pierce through the real Cheng. After a moment, Zhong Shan looked away. A smile gradually appeared on his gloomy face. "Hahahaha, this is really laughing at me!" Zhong Shan suddenly laughed, and his waist arched with laughter. "It's been a long time since I've laughed so happily, haha," Zhong Shan said, wiping the tears from the corners of his eyes with his hand. He waved his hand at Levi and said, "Levi! You don't have to worry about it! Then he said to Mako, "I don't care who you kid is, at least for now, you helped Zhong Zhicheng defend against a troll attack." Give you some money and buy a dress like the words to wear! With that, he threw a small money bag to Zhencheng. After doing these things, Zhong Shan flew into the air and disappeared into the clouds in full view of everyone.
Looking at Zhong Shan, who disappeared from the sky, he really looked at it for three or four seconds. Then he lowered his head and looked at the streets destroyed by the battle, as well as the corpses of the trolls. His eyes wandered back and forth until he saw Lilisa lying on the ground.
"Lilisa! How are you? Masei walked quickly over to Lilisa, lifted her by the neck, and lifted her up. Masei looked at her with concern, seeing that her white face was covered with dust, her messy blonde hair was dancing in the wind, and blood was constantly oozing from the injured part of her shoulder. Although they have only known each other for one day, they have experienced life and death together, and they are like old friends at this moment.
Hearing Makoto's voice, Lilisa opened her eyes slightly, her eyes glazed over. A weak woman can deal with a powerful troll by now, and she's exhausted. "I'll take you to the hospital right away." Majo grabbed Lilisa's arm and carried her to her shoulder. Turning to look at Levi, he asked anxiously, "Tell me, where is the nearby hospital?" ”
Levi didn't answer, just sat there with a dead face, as if he had made a big mistake. Masamu didn't understand why Levi did this to him, and who the so-called 'Infinite' Demon King was. Seeing that Levi didn't reply to him, he didn't care about it, and carried Lilisa in the direction of Bell City. He knew there must be a hospital there. As he went, people kept poking their heads out of the buildings on both sides of the road. As the trolls die, the danger disappears, and the crowd of people who are hiding in all directions pour out like ants. Everyone went out into the streets to observe the dead trolls and began to work on the aftermath.
"Young man, Bell City is not something that anyone can enter. You take the wounded girl and go southeast, where there is a place called the town of Harran. There is a clinic there that will help you. "It was an old man with a white beard who ran a food store on this street. Hearing the old man's words, Masamu stopped his steps. He looked at the old man and said, "Thank you." Then he continued in the direction the old man had said.
"Wait a minute, lad. If you walk like this, you won't be able to get there until it's dark. I have a good horse here that you can use. The old man came out of the shop and blocked the way of Makoto. Zhencheng looked at the old man, a little surprised by this sudden kindness.
"You don't have to look at me like that, I witnessed the whole battle you just had. Thank you for saving this street, lad. Of course, horses aren't free, and you'll have to pay me a gold coin. The old man said with a smile.
"Okay, I feel more convinced when you say that." Zhencheng reached out and touched the pocket on his waist, Zhong Shan gave him a money bag just now, and he put it in his pocket. Maseung opened the money bag, and it glowed with gold. , the city lord deserves to be the city lord, generous! The bag was filled with at least a few dozen gold coins. Zhencheng took one from it and generously handed it to the white-bearded old man. Soon, the old man pulled out a sturdy brown-haired horse from his backyard.
"Wow! How many more horses do you have, if they are all the price of a gold coin, I will want them all. I want to equip each of my men with a horse. Masei looked at the steed, his eyes lit up. I don't know if the old man was generous or grateful, but the horse should be worth much more than 1 gold coin. After all, Masei has won equestrian competitions and has studied horses in depth. He knew that if this horse was placed on the earth, the price would be 100,000+ per minute.
"You young man, you're really greedy. Unfortunately, I'm just a good horse. Hurry up and ride the girl to the clinic! The old man waved his hand and returned to the food shop.
Zhen Cheng glanced at the old man gratefully, and then took Lilisa on the horse with him. Before leaving, Zhencheng counted the strength of the troops, there were still 10 sword and shield soldiers left, and the shortbow hunters were still 5, a total of 15. He told all the soldiers to follow Levi, hoping that Levi would change his opinion of himself during this time. After dealing with this, he carried the setting sun on his back and galloped away in the direction of the small town of Harran.
Masei rode a brown-haired horse and galloped all the way. Under the reflection of the sunset, snuggled up to the beauty in his arms, he continued to move forward in the unknown direction. At this moment, Masei feels like a wilderness hero. The experience of this day was richer than the experience of the previous year. The temperature gradually decreases as the sun sets, and before you know it, your breath has taken on white air, like a cold winter. I didn't expect the temperature difference between day and night in this world to be so large. Masako sighed. When he arrived in Harran Town, he sent Lilisa, and he must buy himself a dress to protect himself from the wind. Fortunately, he and Lilisa snuggled together, and the two of them were able to keep each other warm, otherwise they would have frozen.
Soon, Maseung rode to the lawn where he woke up during the day. After all, when he first came to another world, he was very sensitive to the things around him, and at that time there were a few strange boulders near here, and he remembered very clearly. Suddenly, a rectangular block lit up on the lawn. Immediately after that, a familiar piece of music came to Makoto's ears. This is! My phone!! Makoto couldn't believe his eyes. He stopped the horse with a sharp brake, settled Lilisa, dismounted quickly, and walked a few arrows to the vicinity of the bright block. Sure enough, Zhencheng's mobile phone was lying quietly on the prairie. Wang Xinling's "Love You" was playing on his mobile phone, which was the alarm he set at 19:15 at night, reminding him to get off work part-time.
Zhencheng picked up the phone excitedly, but he didn't expect the phone to accompany him through the crossing. He turned off the music and opened the map app, wanting to see where he was. In today's technology, as long as there is a signal, you are not afraid of not knowing where you are.
But, after a while. Zhencheng's brows furrowed. Because the phone is always showing a no signal status. This shows one thing, he is not in the service area, and his mobile phone is connected to the whole country, so now he is in a location at least not in his home country. Thinking of this, he couldn't help but sneer, not to mention in his own country, he may not be on the earth. Maseung tried to make a few more phone calls, but he couldn't get through without accident.
Forget it, don't think about it that much for now. Maseung carefully put away his phone like a baby. This piece of electronics is the only thing he is familiar with in this world, and he may be able to use it later. He rolled over and took Lilisa back into his arms. "Drive!" At the sound of the order, the horses galloped quickly. The cold wind whistled across Makoto's cheeks, and Makoto was so cold that his face was red and his lips were purple. And Lilisa in his arms was getting hotter and hotter. Lilisa has a fever, which is Mako's first reaction. He couldn't help but get more and more worried, and he rode faster and faster to the limit. Thanks to the fact that they rode a good horse, ordinary horses would have been tired of riding such a way. Every minute and every second of the time has been immensely long.
I don't know how long it took. The lights of the house flickered in the distance. These points of light give real hope. They arrived, the border region of the Grans Empire, the small town of Harran. When he arrived at the place, he planted his head from the horse. Not far away, several guards surrounded him. With the help of a few zealous guards, he found the infirmary. After several tosses, Lilisa finally settled down the injured and unconscious Lilisa. After paying the medical bills, Masei walked out of the medical hall and walked into a hotel diagonally opposite. Now he is exhausted and just wants to get a good night's sleep. Masei bought into the hotel, looking at the hotel counter with tired eyes. There was a woman in her thirties sitting at the counter, with a beautiful face and very dusty clothes.
"Young handsome traveler, I can see that you are tired. We've got great beers and beautiful girls. If you wish, they will help you wash away the fatigue of your journey. The woman spoke, her words full of charm.
"No, just open a single room for me." Maseung replied briefly. When he heard the words of the boss lady, he still felt a little shaken in his heart. But he had just arrived in another world, and he was not familiar with anything, and he didn't want to make any extrasistine trouble. Tomorrow he has to get up early to look after Lilisa.
"Well, a single room for 7 silver for a night. Tomorrow morning, breakfast is not included. Enter the door and go upstairs and turn right into the third room. The woman saw that Maseung didn't have any special needs, and her tone became cold.
Zhencheng nodded, went upstairs down the escalator to find his room, threw himself on the bed, and fell into a deep sleep.
