Chapter Fifty-Eight: Difficulty
Bang!
The warrior who was kicked out of the wolf by the werewolf screamed, fell heavily to the ground, spurted out a mouthful of blood, and fainted directly. The iron armor on his chest collapsed into a large chunk, which showed the great amount of force this time.
"Ahh
Everyone was startled by the sudden change, and the nearby villagers all looked at the murderous werewolf in horror, wondering what had happened to the road.
Lin Fan stood in the crowd, watching all this calmly. The villagers must be made aware of the werewolf's cruelty, and he has no interest in becoming the lord of a flock of lambs.
The nearest village chief of Singil was stunned for a moment, she asked Aimei to treat the wounded warrior, staggered forward a few steps, looked at Sika and said in a panic: "This lord, we have prepared the tax amount according to the requirements, I don't know what you are not satisfied with?"
Sika glanced at Singil faintly, did not speak, just waved his hand.
The wolf rider warrior who had just kicked the warrior away took a few steps closer to this side, and Sika pretended to ask, "What's wrong?"
The wolf rider threw the damaged animal skin on the scimitar directly to the ground, looked at Sika and said, "Lord Sika, you see, these humans want to perfunctory us, and they are shoddy!"
"Impossible!"
Hearing the wolf rider warrior say this, the surrounding villagers clenched their fists for the first time, and their eyes faintly showed anger. These hides were prepared by their own hands, because they were wild beasts caught in traps, and there was no damage to the skins, and the quality of the skins was better than the previous ones!
Sika's gaze fell on the damaged animal skin on the ground, and before he could speak, the village chief of Singir next to him had already found a complete animal skin from the side.
This is the skin of a timberwolf, the whole hide is quite intact, the fur has not been damaged in the slightest, and the oil is shiny. Before getting the trap designed by Lin Fan, it was simply impossible for the village to get such a complete animal skin.
Holding the hides in his hand, Singill hurried up to Sika, spread out the whole hide, and looked at Sika eagerly, "Your lord, you see, these hides have been carefully selected by us, and they are all very complete, not shoddy......
Sika glanced at the timberwolf skin in Singil's hand, and a hint of surprise passed through the depths of his gaze. He could naturally see that whether it was on the ground or the animal skins on Singil's hands, the quality was quite good, and it could be said to be of the highest grade.
However, Sika's gaze only stayed on the hide for a second, then slid to the nearby villagers, and then landed on Singil's face, and suddenly asked, "Is there a mage in your village?"
Singill's eyes twitched slightly, and a humble smile immediately appeared on his face, "My lord, you are laughing, how could a noble mage come to a remote mountain village like ours. ”
"Hmm. Sika nodded, and there was no emotional fluctuation in his expression. He didn't have much hope of being able to find the mage in the village.
Singil quickly diverted the topic, looked at Sika and asked, "My lord, the tax amount ......?"
With a strange smile on his face, Sika pointed to the damaged animal skin next to him and said, "Since it has been damaged so much, it is naturally not good." ”
"But, that's ......" Looking at the smile on Sika's face, a hint of unwanted premonition rose in Singil's heart.
Sika didn't wait for Singill to finish speaking, his eyes sank: "What, are you dissatisfied with the order of the Bloodfang Baron?"
Singil's face turned pale, and he hurriedly shook his head, so he had to compromise: "My lord, please wait a while, there are still some animal skins left in our village, and we can repair the damaged ones." ”
With that, Singil asked someone to take out the remaining hides from the village. The panicked villagers around them also pinched a cold sweat, but fortunately this time they had paid three times the amount of taxes, not twice, and the remaining things in the village could make up the difference.
"No need. ”
Sika stopped Singil a little impatiently, he glanced coldly at the surrounding villagers, and with a wave of his hand, a fireball flew out and landed on a pile of materials that the villagers had worked hard to collect next to him, and the fireball exploded on it, and this pile of materials immediately ignited a raging flame.
The surrounding villagers screamed, and some even tried to extinguish the flames above. These are the things that they have accumulated through their hard work day and night, and for the simple villagers, it is even more uncomfortable to see these things burned than death, and a feeling of dissatisfaction gradually breeds in the eyes of everyone.
"Since it is a defective product, you can add it up, and it is also a defective product. Don't put that much effort into it. Sika's features became slightly distorted in the flickering firelight. He looked at the villagers around him who dared to be angry and did not dare to speak, and his depressed mood became a little happier. Only these stupid villagers would believe that as long as the tax payment is completed, everything will be fine.
With a sneer in his heart, Sika's cold voice echoed in the ears of everyone in the entire square: "Since the tax amount has not been completed according to the regulations, everyone in the village must go to the Black Prisoner Mine!"
As he spoke, Sika waved his hand, and the werewolves behind him immediately lined up and gradually gathered around the villagers.
Looking at the werewolves surrounding them, the villagers' faces were immediately filled with horror and they retreated one after another.
At this time, an immature voice suddenly sounded in the crowd: "We have completed the tax amount according to the requirements, and those animal skins are clearly the best of the best! You are deliberately making things difficult!"
Lin Fan glanced approvingly at the boy who made the sound, he was the little guy who had a dispute with Xingsha last night, and the voice just now was the one he made while he was in chaos.
This sentence is like a flame in the autumn plain, igniting the discontent in everyone's hearts. Many people realized that something was wrong and began to whisper that it was Sika who was deliberately trying to make things difficult. But for the compromise and fear of the werewolves, no one dared to stand up and question Sika.
"Kill him!"
Sika's eyes fell on the little boy in the crowd, a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth, and with a wave of his hand, a wolf rider immediately walked towards the crowd with a hideous smile.
"Ahh
Seeing the wolf rider approaching, the villagers burst out in horror, and they all stood trembling in place, and the boy who had been instructed by Lin Fan to shout deliberately just now also turned pale, and looked at the Steppenwolf who came over in fear.
"Cheap human, you dare to suspect Lord Sika!" The wolf rider warrior's fierce gaze fell on the boy, and he slowly drew the scimitar in his hand, his eyes revealing a killing intent, and slowly approached the boy.
Although there were also a few warriors next to the boy, there was only fear left in their eyes in the face of the werewolf, and they didn't even dare to pull out the two-handed swords on their bodies. The idea of not angering the Tak tribe instilled in them since childhood is like a tree root in their hearts, and although they are angry, they dare not resist.
Lin Fan looked at this picture and shook his head slightly, but he didn't make a move, but looked at Sika.
At this moment, everyone's eyes fell on the wolf rider warrior who was gradually approaching the little boy, but they didn't notice that a slender figure was taking advantage of the chaos to rush towards Sika......
Sou!
The figure rushed out of the crowd, suddenly accelerated, and rushed towards Sika like a cheetah, holding a heavy two-handed sword in his hand. It is Tatari who has the strength of a high-level warrior!
This sudden change stunned everyone, and Sika was also slightly shocked in his heart. The wolf rider on his left was sent by him to kill the little boy, so now there was no one on his left to protect him. Of course, what surprised him the most was that a human dared to attack him!
However, Sika did not panic, looking at Tatari who rushed towards him, and even a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth.
Raising the staff in his right hand, the red ** crystal on the staff emitted a dazzling firelight, Sika moved the staff slightly, and a huge six-pointed star appeared in front of him, the red light was dazzling.
Sika whispered at the same time, "Unleash the fire of the contract, the shield of dark fire!"
Call!
The six-pointed star in the sky burst into a dazzling fire, and two half-human-high elemental shields burning with raging dark red flames suddenly appeared around Sika!
At this time, Tatari was already less than five meters away from Sika, and her sharp gaze stared at Sika and raised the two-handed greatsword in her hand.
Facing Tatari who was close at hand, Sika did not hurry and pointed the staff in his hand at the Tatari who rushed over.
Whew, a skull-sized fireball appeared at the tip of the staff, flying straight towards Tatari! The scorching heat distorted the air slightly.
Tatari knew the terrifying nature of the Dao Mage, her pupils shrank, she didn't dare to slack off, and the two-handed big sword in her hand slashed directly at the flying fireball.
Rumble!
In the crackling sound, the scorching wave of air directly lifted Tatari out of the air, and the two-handed sword in her hand was mutilated in a large piece, but it was melted into molten iron by the fireball just now. And Sika, because of the protection of the shield of dark fire, did not even have a single hair messy.
Looking at the embarrassed Tatari, a hint of sarcasm appeared in Sika's eyes. didn't notice that Lin Fan in the crowd had already seen his entire spell casting process.
"Ulla!"
Seeing that Sika had been attacked, the wolf rider warrior who had originally walked towards the little boy was furious, gave up on the boy next to him, roared, and rushed directly towards Tatari.
The huge concussive force just now caused Tatari Tiger's mouth to crack, and the injuries on her body had not fully healed, and when she got up from the ground, her leather armor was already soaked with blood.
Facing the wolf rider warrior who rushed towards him, Tatari did not have the slightest fear in his eyes, snorted coldly, and the two-handed sword in his hand blocked the scimitar in the hand of the wolf rider warrior.
Although he successfully blocked, the huge impact of the wolf rider made Tatali fly back four or five steps, and a trace of blood oozed from the corner of his mouth, because of the injury on his left leg, he was even more unstable at this time, and he could only barely stand with his two-handed sword.
"Wait. ”
The wolf rider wanted to continue the attack, but Sika next to him suddenly stopped him.
Sika let Steppenwolf take a few steps closer, his eyes fell on Tatari who was covered in blood, his eyes lit up slightly, and he sneered: "It turned out to be you! It must have been the human mage who saved you. Tell me, where is he?"
