Chapter 17: Hee Hee Monkey
In addition to the proficiency of "Iron Arm Gong" being practiced at a very fast speed, the proficiency of "Mixed Yuan Jin" has also slowly reached 1,000 points, reaching a bottleneck. And with the improvement of the proficiency of "Mixed Yuan Jin", the internal force value has also reached 512 points, and the health value can reach 200 points.
The improvement of his own strength has more or less made Wednesday more confident in his mission, but now he has to think about how to appease Margaret in addition to how to improve his strength as soon as possible. If Margaret didn't cooperate, Wednesday wouldn't have been able to complete this task even if she had the greatest ability, unless she was tied up and carried to Fawkes. And the more serious problem is that now there are only dozens of copper plates on the two of them, and there are not many other things that can be exchanged for money. In the past two days, the two of them slept in the open like savages, eating wild game when they were hungry, drinking mountain springs when they were thirsty, and camping in the wild at night.
But the further you go to the southeast, the denser the population becomes, the terrain becomes flatter, the mountains and forests gradually become less and less, and the living environment in the wild is getting worse and worse, and at that time it is not as possible to find game as dry food at any time as it is now.
But after thinking about it, I couldn't find a suitable way to make money for a while. Silently gnawed a pheasant leg bone clean, casually threw it into the grass not far away, Wednesday was just about to take a sip of soup, suddenly heard the wind in his ears, and hurriedly flashed sideways, but it was just a small pine cone. Turning his head to see where the pine cones flew from, there was no one else except the dense pine forest.
Wednesday put Margaritra behind him and said with a solemn expression, "Wait, it's dangerous," and he pulled out his sword and calmed his mind.
Seeing this, Margaret covered her mouth and snickered, and with Margaret's laughter, there were bursts of giggling sounds in the woods, a bit like a child laughing, but more like some kind of creature.
"What person?" said Wednesday, the first time he encountered this situation, the hairs on his body suddenly stood on end, and he looked around nervously.
But instead of stopping, the giggling grew more, like a large group of children laughing in unison.
At this time, Margaret couldn't help but smile and said to Wednesday: "Don't worry, it's just a bunch of naughty monkeys." ”
"Monkeys?" asked Wednesday in surprise.
"Yes," Margaret chuckled, "this is unique to the northwestern part of the Shaun Kingdom, they often lie in ambush in the woods to scare passers-by, and they let out a giggle when they see passers-by panicking, you see, there they are," Margaret said, pointing to a tree branch.
Wednesday looked in the direction of Margaret's finger, and sure enough, there was a monkey squatting on the branch of a tree that was a little smaller than a football, although the hair was gray, but a pair of big eyes looked very cute, of course, at this time in Wednesday's eyes were very hateful, just now it really scared him a lot.
Seeing the little monkey, Wednesday bent down and picked up a pine cone and threw it at the little monkey.
It's just that this Wednesday can get into trouble, and countless giggles suddenly sounded in the forest, accompanied by laughter and all kinds of debris flying from all directions, mostly pine cones, but also some small green fruits.
Seeing this, Wednesday covered his head and pulled Margaret and ran out, but fortunately, the little monkeys did not have much strength, and the pine cones thrown out were weak and weak. But it was terrifying, and if the monkeys were bigger, they would definitely scare the people.
After running out, Margaret glared at Wednesday in disgust, "What are you doing with a bunch of monkeys?" and added, "Those monkeys are very naughty, if you ignore them, they won't pay much attention to you, if you compete with them, they will only have more fun." ”
Wednesday was silent, muttering secretly in his heart, how did I know that there was such a magical species in the world, and said in a muffled voice: "These little monkeys are too bold, aren't they afraid that hunters will hunt them?"
Margaret chuckled, "Hee monkeys are not very daring, or rather, they are very timid, and they are very sharp, they never interact with dangerous creatures, and if you want to catch them, you will definitely not find their shadows." ”
On Wednesday, seeing Margaret's attitude suddenly take a 180-degree turn, although it was strange in my heart, it was much more relaxed. How awkward would it be if you faced each other with a gloomy face every day and no one cared about anyone? Thinking of this, Wednesday was a little grateful to those cute hip-hop monkeys, although they made him a big ugly, but it made Margaret's mood better.
Thinking of this, Wednesday secretly laughed at his own heart. Margaret has been in a bad mood in the past two days, and she should simply be unwilling to part with old Buffon, after all, the nominal grandfather and grandson have been dependent on each other for so many years, and now they are suddenly separated and don't know when they will be able to meet again, and it is normal for Margaret to have some small emotions.
Thinking about his own attitude towards Margaret, Wednesday also regretted a little, he should have been a little gentle with Margaret. But now it's okay, everything is back to normal.
Thinking of this, Wednesday stimulated his arm with an iron armguard and said to Margaret: "Margaret, this journey may be very hard, if you don't want to walk, we need to get some gold coins now, and then buy two horses, so that it saves effort and time, and it is safer, you say." ”
Margaret put away her smiling face again at this time, and nodded silently, "Do what you say." ”
Wednesday sighed secretly, it seemed that the elder Buffon had explained some things to her, which made her more wary of him on Wednesday. Thinking of this, Wednesday felt a little uncomfortable, but it was understandable that a girl who was like a flower and jade would have to walk with a big man for several months, and it was not normal to be unwary.
The two of them were walking on the road slowly, and suddenly heard the sound of horses' hooves behind them, and turned their heads to see more than a dozen knights roaring over, but the clothes were not uniform, and they looked more like mercenaries than soldiers.
Unexpectedly, the knights stopped in front of Wednesday, surrounded the two of them for a while, and then ran forward as if the wind was blowing.
Seeing a group of people go away, Wednesday and Margaret let out a long breath, secretly saying that it was dangerous. Because the group of knights just now was none other than the Agni Mercenary Regiment that had an entanglement a few days ago. The fire on their bodies is exactly the same as the two men killed on Wednesday.
By the way, what's that man's name? Maren Zadiles? Wednesday thought of the two swordsmen he had killed, and wondered if the mercenary group would seek revenge on him for this?
Judging from their behavior just now, the other party is obviously looking for someone, but who they are looking for, but Wednesday has no bottom in his heart. He glanced at Margaret, and then instructed, "Remember, you are a man now, your name is Adrian Eugene, my name is Bruce Lee, we are cousins, and our destination is the capital of the United Duchy of Dudley, and the purpose is to go to the bridle." ”
Margaret nodded obediently this time, and didn't make any more trouble. Seeing her look a little nervous, Wednesday was relieved to know that she was not perfunctory. If it weren't for Margaret's ability to bear it, Wednesday would have wanted to tell her about her background so that she could know the seriousness of the situation.
While hurrying, Wednesday tested Margaret, "Did your grandfather tell you what to do when you arrive in Fox City?"
Margaret's face changed slightly when she heard this question, and then she shook her head calmly, "No, but you just need to send me to Fox City, and you don't need to worry about other things." ”
Wednesday smiled and raised his eyebrows, "Okay," but secretly wondered in his heart, could it be that it was not only the old Buffon and Margaret who escaped from the palace coup back then, but there were other people? If it was the old ministry back then, then there was no need to worry that Margaret would be bullied.
Thinking so, Wednesday stopped worrying about it, but he hadn't gone a few steps away, when suddenly he heard the sound of horses' hooves again, this time from in front of them. Wednesday looked up and found that it was the wave of people who had just passed, that is, from the Flame Mercenary Regiment. Why did they come back again? It can't be that they found out who they are.
Thinking of this, Wednesday put Margaritra behind him, and then stood on the side of the road to watch carefully, while secretly hoping that the other party was just exploring the way and walking back, instead of doubting their identity. But the truth often did not work out, and a dozen or so people rode around Wednesday and yelled viciously: "Take off your hat." ”
Wednesday knew that it was bad, pulled Margaret's hand, motioned her to step back, and then suddenly took out the ring knife, and stabbed the thigh of the mercenary closest to him, and the sharp ring knife pierced the opponent's thigh directly, and then stabbed the black horse in the stomach.
"Sigh Rhythm-" With a hiss, the black horse stood alone and kicked wildly with four hooves, swishing out, knocking away the two mercenaries beside him and jumping out of the distance, followed by a heel to the ground, twitching and struggling but unable to stand up, while the unlucky swordsman was thrown seven or eight meters away, lying on the ground and struggling.
And Wednesday hit the hand, quickly jumped into the mercenary team, and specially shot according to the mounts of several people, and those who didn't have time to get off the horse were led around by the injured mounts.
After the others dismounted, they suddenly found that there were only six people left in the original twelve pathfinder team, and the captain with the highest combat effectiveness was actually injured in the thigh at the beginning of the battle.
But they were all mercenaries who were experienced in combat, and they were not timid when they saw this, and quickly surrounded Zhou Zhou with broadswords, and one of them shouted loudly: "Boy, just take it." ”
Wednesday sneered, "Okay, you come here, I won't do it." ”
