Chapter Twenty-Three: Dangerous Tactics
Will Wednesday fight Barry? Of course not, he's not stupid and he's not bored, and of course he won't really fight Barry.
In the face of Barry's fierce sword, Wednesday seemed to be going to fight him, but the raised ring knife only made a slight contact with Barry's fight-infused broadsword, and then blocked it against the back of the sword, trying to swing Barry's broadsword away.
But Wednesday is not very familiar with the use of weapons after all, and he is not familiar with the state of weapons after infusing fighting energy. He flicked it outward, only slightly tilting the broadsword, and it didn't have the effect he expected.
If he couldn't make a plan, he didn't have time to react too much on Wednesday, so he let go of his right hand and let the ring knife fall to the ground, and instead of retreating, he waved his right arm and slammed the internal force on the back of the broadsword. This time it had an effect, although his right arm was shocked and numb, but the broadsword that was supposed to fall on his neck suddenly slashed to the ground.
And Wednesday naturally won't give up such an opportunity, forcing a forward kick on Barry's lower abdomen, and then following up with another side kick, and also taking advantage of the situation to split the leg. These three legs are full of internal strength, hitting Barry's body to make a tom-tom sound, and the last high split leg is directly slashed on Barry's shoulder, knocking his split knee to the ground, and even the broadsword in his hand is taken off, listening to the sound, it seems that the shoulder blade was split by Wednesday.
Seeing this, Wednesday used his internal force to secretly dispel the pain on his right arm, and shook his head easily, but he didn't say anything stimulating at this time, he couldn't mess around at this time, if he stimulated those bandits, it would be too late to cry on Wednesday.
Picking up both his ring knife and Barry's broadsword, Wednesday walked up to Barry's side and asked with a smile, "How is it? It's time to pay the bet, right?" Although the expression on his face was relaxed, he was extremely vigilant in his heart, this is the most dangerous time, if there is something wrong, the hundred and ten people outside can rush in immediately.
Naturally, there was nothing wrong with escaping on Wednesday, but it was hard to say if you took Margaret with you.
The red-haired swordsman Barry and the mage Terry looked at each other, and finally Terry spoke, "Let those women go." ”
Hearing this, Wednesday secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, but after seeing Margaret with a happy face, he still glared at her fiercely and signaled to settle accounts with her later. Then he said to Terry with a kind face: "Mr. Mage is really trustworthy, since this is the case, I will not embarrass you, and when those women are gone, I will let you go, as long as you don't mess around, I will definitely not hurt you a hair again." ”
After speaking, you said to the red-haired swordsman Barry: "Your swordsmanship is good, but your cultivation is a little worse," of course, this is just to appease them and give them some face, so as not to do anything impulsive under their shame.
Wednesday now seems to have the upper hand, but in fact these people are only bound by vague promises.
Speaking of which, the characteristics of modern people who have a better understanding of human nature are revealed. Whether it is a film and television drama, a novel or the real world, if you watch more intrigues, you will naturally understand more about it, and you can use it when you need it.
After the raid on the mage Terry succeeded, Wednesday carefully squeezed the red-haired swordsman and the bandits, making them agree to his terms without getting them too excited, and took advantage of the situation, leading the bandits' minds to follow him until he defeated the red-haired swordsman.
And Wednesday after the victory, he changed his aggressiveness at the beginning, and gently dispelled the humiliation of these bandits, Barry and others like another person.
This method is not very clever, but when used at the right time, the effect is definitely not ordinary. If someone else is here, even if the mage Terry is kidnapped, he may not be able to calm the scene. Especially Wednesday, who decisively chopped off one of the mage Terry's fingers, which looked very cruel, but left them with most of the hope.
Because one finger is not enough to kill people, but if you really cut a knife in the neck, it is really hopeless. In that case, people naturally weigh the pros and cons and make the best choice.
Of course, if someone wants the mage Terry to die, it may also be deliberately disrupted. However, it was clear that the chances of that happening in this small group of a hundred or so people were very small, and the mage Terry had a lot of control.
Wednesday escorted Terry, letting Margaret and the woman follow him, and cautiously walked out of the wolf-like bandits. Under his seemingly calm expression, in fact, his heart also raised his throat, and the palm of his hand holding the ring knife was even more sweaty.
Fortunately, it may be that Terry's prestige is relatively high, and under Wednesday's hostage, those bandits didn't even dare to make any discordant sounds, and even the few horses in the yard seemed to sense that something was wrong, and none of them snorted.
In addition to the bandits, horses, and all kinds of supplies in the courtyard, all that was left was the women. Wednesday turned his head and asked the woman beside him, "Is there anyone missing?" Seeing the woman shake her head, Wednesday nodded with satisfaction, and said to Barry: "Very good, it looks like we can happily complete this deal, I need two horses, can I borrow them from you." ”
Barry didn't hesitate, nodded and said, "Yes, as long as you can let go of our leader." ”
Wednesday pretended to be hearty and laughed: "You keep your promise so much, of course I will not break my word, otherwise the reputation of my Bruce Lee will be completely ruined, don't worry, when those women arrive at a safe place, it will be when I release your leader," he said and instructed the woman next to him: "Help me lead two horses, remember, only two." ”
If he could, Wednesday wouldn't mind bringing in some more horses so that the women could ride away. But if she angered the bandits, it would be more than worth the loss, so she was solemnly ordered on Wednesday to take only two horses.
A group of women walked in front, and Wednesday escorted Terry and Margaret to the end. After arriving at an intersection, Wednesday waved his hand to signal the women to leave quickly, and then sat on the ground with a butt and said to Terry: "We can meet here, and it is also fate, dare to ask Mr. Mage's surname." ”
Terry glared at Wednesday fiercely, but still said his name, "Terry Cahill." ”
"Terry Cahill," Wednesday laughed, thinking of the peachy incident of the captain of that wife lover captain of a Premier League club on Earth, and paused for a long time, "Good name, not bad, I wonder what level of mage Mr. Cahill is?"
"Hmph, mid-level water mage......" Terry snorted disdainfully, obviously still haunted by Wednesday's sneak attack. Although an intermediate mage is not a scarce resource in this world, it is still a very respected existence no matter where you go, because no one knows when you will be able to advance from an intermediate mage to a high-level mage or even a higher-level archmage.
Moreover, the attack power of the mages is very strong, as long as they are kept away and have enough time to chant the spell, their lethality and deterrence are much stronger than that of ordinary swordsmen.
Wednesday didn't take Terry's pride seriously, what is a loser to be proud of, if he wasn't in danger now, Wednesday would have to let this Terry know what a loser is. For this kind of person who robs women, Wednesday has no good feelings at all, perhaps because of the influence of modern thinking, and always feels that robbing women is the most unforgivable and disgusting of all evil deeds.
Of course, there is nothing to say to these bandits, and Wednesday is too lazy to care about these idle things, as long as he can complete the task.
Wednesday sat at the intersection, asked Terry a few words, and then didn't move, sitting cross-legged on the ground with his eyes closed. Of course, in the eyes of others, it was to close the eyes and recuperate, but in fact, Wednesday was healing, and it took about half an hour to dispel the cold in the left arm.
Looking at the "healing technique" that had once again improved its proficiency by two points, Wednesday stood up and stretched, shaking his head and muttering, "Those women should go away," but he was wondering in his heart, why hasn't the system prompted the task to be completed?
As soon as I thought of this, the system prompted: "Ding: The status of the quest 'Women's Savior' is updated, the task is completed, good and evil +20, contribution +20, and the Heavenly King Replenishing Heart Pill × 5, "Eight Treasures Mixed Yuan Stick" ×1." ”
Seeing this, Wednesday's heart was overjoyed, and this task could be regarded as timely.
This time, the 20 contribution points, plus the 10 points awarded in the duel just now, his contribution value reached 62 points, and he can already redeem a cheats in the system mall, although it will not be a good thing, but it is still worth celebrating for Wednesday, which is also a historic breakthrough.
In addition to the contribution value, I also got a D-level stick method "Eight Treasures Mixed Yuan Stick", although it is only D-level, but for Wednesday at this time, it is still a good thing, such a cheat is, of course, the more the merrier, the more the merrier.
As for the "Compendium of Materia Medica" that I just got, it is a special reading material and cannot be studied directly, so I looked at it on Wednesday and put it in the inventory for the time being, now is not the time to study Chinese medicine.
Heavenly King Heart Replenishing Pill: Heavenly King Heart Replenishing Pill: +5 concentration for 60 minutes, removes and reduces the impact of negative effects. "Eight Treasures Mixed Yuan Stick" :D level, one of the Shaolin Temple Stick Methods, both rigid and soft, both offensive and defensive. (Learning requirements: strength 50, agility 50; beginner practice)
Compendium of Materia Medica: Special Readings.
The harvest of this mission was great, and Wednesday was in a good mood, so he stood up and said to Margaret with a long laugh: "Adrian, get on the horse, we are ready to go." After Margaret got on the horse, she grabbed Terry and threw it at the red-haired swordsman Barry, "Mr. Terry will give it back to you, and we will meet later," the voice fell, and he grabbed the horse's belly with his feet, and ran away as if he were flying.
