Section 10 Lost

Budguz is one of the few goblins who has escaped into the woods without recklessness. When he saw this sudden growth of woods, he instinctively sensed danger. He chose another path and tried to get around the forest.

"Old ...... Top dog...... They're coming!"

Budguz saw the enemy chasing after him. It wasn't a hairy little guy, it was a human being! Budguz had thought it was impossible, it was, an excuse for his men to cover up their incompetence. But it turns out that there are humans and hairy little ones together. And that's a knight.

"Kill, kill him!" he froze. There is only one human. He looks like a knight, but he's just a human. The knights on foot gave chase, and Budguz had seven or eight more men with him.

The goblins rushed forward. The human swung his sword and slashed the first goblin, slicing the spear and body in two. The other two goblins flanked from both wings, but the human sword slashed horizontally, slashing off the heads of both goblins with a single sword. Then came the fourth, the fifth. The knight's movements were so fast that none of the goblins could hold out for even a second under him, and in the blink of an eye, Budguz was left alone.

He stabbed the last blow with his sword, but only had time to strike, and missed. Then, the knight's sword sliced over his head, splitting him in half in half in the truest sense of the word.

"Ashrufat!" Mimi, who was behind her, panted and chased after her. "You're running too fast. ”

"This is the leader of the goblins. Ashruphat pointed his sword at the corpse underground. "He's dead, and we've won the battle. ”

Then he looked up at the gigantic monster that was terrifyingly large. Mother Earth is falling, her body decomposing into rocks and trees, slowly disappearing into the forest. And in the newly grown forest, there were no more goblin screams.

"What is this?" he asked Carrie in his head.

"Master, it's just a phenomenon. It's essentially the same as wind, snow, and so on. According to my calculations, this Mother Earth they worship is a powerful system. But I can't analyze the details of this system. It is predictable that under the protection of this system, the Semu should live here for a long time. Would you like to study this system in detail?"

"Nope. ”

Eshurufat put away his sword, and his armor and longsword were gone again. But Mimilu wasn't surprised.

"Mimilu, take me to the Great Elder. He said to Mimilu. "The war is over, and it's time for me to get paid. ”

"Ashrufat, what do you want?" Mimilu had a surprised and confused look on her face.

"My horse. Ashrufat replied. "Your business is over, it's finally my turn. Mimilu, can you take me to the horses?"

"No...... No......" Mimilu replied hesitantly. "I have to...... Go back first. The Great Elder will send you the best guide. ”

......

Ashrufat, that's the horse. The Semu guide explained. "As long as you catch it, it's yours. ”

"Ah......" Ashrufat opened his mouth, but couldn't say anything.

Damn, he should have thought of it a long time ago! How could there be horses in such a ghost place? The terrain of the Black Hill is so complicated and precipitous, the horses should not be able to run at all!

"What's the matter? Ashrufat, don't you like these horses? Their meat is quite tasty. ”

"Yes, I don't. He replied listlessly. That's true, Mimilu didn't lie to him, there are indeed horses here. It's just that these are forest wild horses. Wild horses cannot be tamed as mounts at all, and even if they are forcibly controlled by any supernatural means, they cannot carry people. Because these animals are not much bigger than goats. They are not even as good as donkeys!

He turned around and walked back the way he came. Well, at least not without success here. He had the first chance to put his knowledge into practice, and he commanded a battle for the first time—though he knew it was a small battle, and his performance could only be described as clumsy.

Go back and say goodbye to the Great Elder, and he can go. Then carry his travel gear and walk all the way back. It must be silly and ridiculous. In the future, there will be many knights who will laugh and talk about his appearance when they are chatting.

He walked into the cave, only to find that the Sem council hall was once again full.

"Ashrufat, we are waiting for you. The Great Elder said unexpectedly.

"Wait for me, but I ......"

"You're leaving, aren't you?" asked the Great Elder.

"Yes, I've seen the horses I'm going to see. Unfortunately, it's really just "seeing". These forest wild horses mean nothing to him.

"Mimilu!" the Great Elder shouted out. Then Mimilu walked into the middle of the chamber and sat down on her knees.

"Ashrufat, we are grateful that you fought for us. This battle was originally about you...... So, as a token of our appreciation, we decided to give Mimilu to you as your slave girl. ”

"Uh......" Ashruphat didn't even understand for a moment.

"She has been sentenced to exile by us for violating the rules of the tribe. The Great Elder continued. "She will serve you until you are satisfied. As I know, as a knight, there are countless battles ahead of you. Mimilu is an excellent warrior in our tribe. She's going to be your nice scout, and you're going to be able to use her place. ”

Ashruphat finally understood what the other party meant. "Thank you, but I don't need to ......"

Before he could finish his sentence, the Great Elder suddenly spoke a few words in the Semu's own language sharply and quickly. All the Semu seemed to hear the signal and ran out of the way. All of a sudden, only Mimilu and Ashruphat were left here.

"The hosts. Mimilu came to Ashruphat and knelt down. "From today onwards, I am yours. ”

(Note: The author picks up a wildflower and begins to break the petals.) Push down Lori Cat Ear Girl, don't push, push down Lori Cat Ear Girl, don't push, push down Lori Cat Ear Girl, don't push ...... Push over...... Don't push ...... Push over...... Don't push!)

"It's a pity that I don't need a slave girl, but a horse. Ashrufat sighed. "A horse that can be ridden. ”

Mimilu looked up, tears glistening in her eyes.

"Did the master say Mimilu was useless?"

"It's not that you're useless...... Ashrufat concocts the right phrase without stimulating Mimilu's self-esteem and rejecting the unnecessary gift. There were no slaves in the kingdom of St. Jean, at most only servants. This reason is very appropriate, and the half-beasts will definitely accept it......

"I knew the master wouldn't hate me!" Mimilu suddenly pounced on him and jumped on him like a real cat, licking his face hard. It was so itchy that he couldn't even say the following words.

"But what I really needed was a horse. It took a lot of effort for Ashrufat to pull Mimilu down. "The kind of horses that humans breed. ”

"You mean the horses that have owners?"

"Yes. ”

However, Mimilu saw that although the horses had owners, they were often taken away by others. Can't the owner take them away?"

"That's those people who paid for it. After paying the money, you can take the horse away. ”

"Money...... What's that?"

"It's all the gold and the silver, the metal!

"Gold and silver...... The master has these things. ”

"I only have a handful of silver coins. Ashruphat pulled out his wallet and showed it to Mimilu. "Too little, so much that you can't afford to buy a horse. ”

"But the master still has it. ”

"No, it's all here. Ashrufat replied.

"But I smell metal...... Over here...... Here......" Mimi snorted, slowly rubbing against Ashrufat. "Here......" she reached out and grabbed Ashrufat's waist. Pull hard.

Her claws (or nails?) scratched at something, and several round metal flakes fell to the ground with a crisp sound.

"This is ......," Ashrufat picked up something on the ground. Are these gold coins?

He looked down and saw that Mimilu had scratched his belt. It wasn't a belt, it was a talisman given to him by Thomas, which he had always worn as a belt. This amulet also really took on the function of a belt. Of course, it's a bit stiff and not as comfortable as a regular belt.

Ashrufat took off the amulet. It was only after it was torn apart that he discovered the true face of this heavy and hard amulet. Inside the amulet is silk cotton, and gold coins are cleverly put together and embedded in silk cotton.

"It's sure to be there to help you when you're struggling. He suddenly remembered Thomas's words. Now he understood the smile on Thomas's face. I don't know what Lu Dao is for, he suddenly raised his eyes a little moist.

"Master, what's wrong with you?" Mimilu asked.

"I didn't ...... It's nothing. Okay, Mimilu, it's not early today, let's rest for the night and leave tomorrow morning. ”

"It's good. Mimilu replied happily.

......

By daybreak, he had reached the edge of the Black Hill. The speed of coming back was much faster than the speed of going, and Ashrufat believed that it was because he was already familiar with the terrain of the Black Mound. A gentle hillside has already appeared ahead. He stopped and looked back. The endless black hills, and the distant forest can no longer be seen.

"Master, what's wrong?" asked Carrie in her mind.

"Nothing, my shoes are broken. Ashrufat replied helplessly.

At this time, in the village of the Sem tribe, Mimilu was standing in the cave where Ashrufat had rested last night.

"The host ......"

But it's empty, there's nothing left.

The gift of the distant mountains is over
