Chapter 10: The Change of Modo
The next morning, Hans did not immerse himself in magic, but prepared to return to the village of Modo, he had been at the mercenary school for a while, and it was a good opportunity to go back and see Marie.
I wanted to buy some souvenirs to go back, but I found that I had no money at all, so I had to go back empty-handed. In less than two hours, Hans arrived at the village of Modo, and when he entered the house, he shouted: "Mary, I'm back!"
After no movement for a while, Hans ran to the tavern next door and found it locked. After asking the neighbors, it turned out that Marley had gone to the town of Yatley with a few friends to deliver some supplies to them, and it would take several days to return. Fran's army was stationed there, and beyond that was the border of the kingdom of Jerin, but almost all the hunters in the village were dispatched together, and Marie was also temporarily brought together to help, so he was a little more at ease.
Hans walked to a beach by the lake, where Marie said he had found him. He sat on the sand and quietly looked at Lake Mad, and suddenly sighed.
I was originally a son-in-law.,Life is quite nourishing.,And I've practiced a skill.,At least there are few opponents in the simulation game world.。 Now I come here as if I'm lagging behind everywhere, and I don't have good physical fitness, and I don't have a talent for magic.
He looked at his arm guard again, how the hell did this thing work? It hadn't been used for a while, and it had already recovered 100% of its power. But even if it can be used, it's not much use.,A bullet requires 80% power.,It seems that your own ability is the most important.,Relying on equipment is never a way.。
The more Hans thought about it, the more depressed he felt, he had a special background, he was probably the only person in the 21st century on this shijie, and he still had genetically modified blood flowing in his body.
"No!" Hans suddenly cried out, and then thought, "Didn't I have an older brother who was also put into the lifeboat with him?, where the hell was he? Could he have been blown away by the same explosion and gone somewhere else? Is it the city of Fran, or is it a village farther away, maybe even in the country of Jaelin?"
Some cranky thoughts surrounded Hans, and before he knew it, he realized that it was already dark. Hans thought that since Marley was not there, it would be better to go back to school and practice magic, and not to waste time here. So he hurried home to have a bite to eat, then left a note of greeting and left the village of Modo.
On the way back to the town of Dessa, it was pitch black, and the nearby mountains and forests occasionally sounded the cries of wild beasts. It's not that Hans is timid, but it's a bit dangerous to walk in the wild at this time.
Just thinking about it, I noticed the sound of horses' hooves on the road ahead, and there were quite a few of them. Hans immediately hid in the nearby grass to see who it was.
After a while, a group of horseback men passed by the road, a total of twelve men, all of them in battle gear, some with spears, some with swords, some with axes, and even a magician with a long staff.
After the horse team, Hans was thinking that the only way back to this road was to go to Modo Village, or to Marin Snow Mountain. There is no reason for them to go up the mountain so late, so they are going to the village?
Curious and worried, Hans decided to go back and have a look.
After running for a long time, he had already reached the vicinity of the village, only to see a fire in the distance, and the village of Modo was on fire! Hans immediately thought of one word, "Robber!"
He immediately quickened his pace, and found at the entrance of the village that all the people of the village had been driven to an open field, and four thieves and a magician were watching them, several of them had covered their mouths with black cloths, and the others were searching everywhere.
Hans hid to the side and thought, what can he do with a dozen or so people on the other side, and he is an apprentice magician who is not a magician?
Unable to fight and run, Hans was very anxious. He slowly felt his way through the darkness to the square where the villagers were surrounded. He was trying to think of any way to save people, and dozens of possibilities kept flashing through his mind.
At this moment, I only heard the sound of horses' hooves at the intersection, and someone came again.
Hans looked at it, and saw four men coming, led by a large man with a spear and iron plate armor, and next to him a young warrior wearing chain armor with a sword and shield in his hand, both wearing white cloaks. Looking at the back, there were two women behind him, one was a middle-aged woman in a black robe, and the other was a girl in a white robe, it was the instructor Amanda, and the girl named Sheila! Amanda and Sheila were also holding their wands at this time, obviously ready to participate in the battle.
I saw that they stopped a little at the entrance of the village, and as soon as the Han warriors waved their hands, they began to spread out and rush into the village in the form of encirclement.
The thieves of the village also immediately went up to meet them, and a thief with an axe rushed over to fight the armored man, but as soon as the two horses met, the bearded man was picked to the ground by a shot, and although he barely got up, he was obviously injured. The armored man didn't even look at him, and rushed straight into the village.
The other three began to surround the villagers, only to see the young warrior shouting to the thieves, "Put down the looted treasure and surrender at once, and you will not die." ”
One of the thieves with the scimitar smiled and said, "This little hairy boy has learned to look down on people? As he spoke, he slapped his horse and went up to meet him.
The young warrior raised his sword and shield and prepared to fight, and just as they were about to fight, a magician next to him was preparing to cast a spell, apparently intending to sneak attack.
Hans was in a hurry, and was about to go up to stop it, when a sharp stone suddenly appeared from the ground under the magician's body, and he stumbled and almost fell, rolled and got back to his feet, and looked at Amanda on the other side, who had already seen his movement and stopped it.
Looking back over there, the scimitar thief and the young warrior were already fighting together, and the two of them had fought back and forth a few times, but they still couldn't tell the winner. The scimitar thief is a little anxious, and it's a bit embarrassing for a big man to be able to handle a little hairy child. This young warrior is not tall in stature, but his strength is not small, and the scimitar thief himself is indeed a bit of a disadvantage if he lacks a shield.
Suddenly, the scimitar thief sold a flaw, and the young warrior stabbed his sword into the air and was crushed by a knife, while the scimitar man was about to reach over with his other hand to grab him. But I saw that the young warrior was in a hurry, and a sword went to the opponent's spur, and as soon as the horse was injured, he immediately screamed and stood up, and the young warrior was about to go up and make a move, and suddenly a cold arrow shot at the warrior, but fortunately, the warrior reacted, raised his shield and blocked the arrow.
Suddenly, someone shouted, "Stop, stand back, or I'll kill her." "I saw a thief with a sword taking a peasant woman hostage and putting the sword around her neck.
The thieves didn't seem to be right to fight, and they actually kidnapped the hostages, and Amanda, who was about to make a move, suddenly stopped.
Just as the young warrior was stunned, the scimitar thief who had fallen to the ground suddenly slashed at the front leg of the warrior's mount!
The horse fell, and the warrior immediately jumped off the horse, and was about to continue the fight with the scimitar man, but he did not dare to go up, for fear of really hurting the hostage.
Hans was a little anxious when he saw the situation, and their attention was on the front, and he happened to be in the back where no one should be looking, and he planned to save the hostage. However, if this position were to be attacked with an electric pulse gun, there was a risk that civilians would be injured.
He slowly approached the sword-wielding thief and was about to attack him with a telescopic knife, and the thieves couldn't see him, but Amanda and they saw it, and Sheila also spotted him, and showed a frightened look.
The swordsman saw that Sheila's expression was a little wrong, and immediately woke up. Without looking back, he took his sword and swung it back!
Hans raised his left hand to block the sword, and although it was blocked by the armguard, his arm was still numb from the shock. Before he could react, an iron boot kicked him in the chest, and Hans only felt his blood surge, and he fell to the ground, feeling like he wanted to vomit his stomach. Seeing that the thief was about to stab him with his sword, suddenly a wall of earth appeared on the ground in front of Hans, and the long sword pierced through the earthen wall, stopping less than twenty centimeters from Hans's chest.
Hans didn't care about the wounds on his body, and when the long sword thief was about to draw his sword and go back, he stretched out his right hand and aimed it at the thief's chest, and a cloud of energy shot out from the muzzle of the gun, directly through the thief's chest, leaving a bloody hole!
At this time, several thieves in the village ran out and shouted, "Let's withdraw first!"
The remaining thieves saw that the situation was not good, and immediately got on their horses and fled.
Hans was saved by Amanda just now, and I saw her running over to see Hans's injuries.
On the other side, Sheila began to release her magic, trying to prevent them from escaping, but the thief magician also performed defensive magic while retreating, and the other thief was holding a large bag, estimated to be the wealth looted in the village, and seeing that they were all on their horses and about to run away, suddenly a spear flew out from behind, directly penetrating the protective shield that the magician had just condensed, and nailed the thief who had just mounted his horse and held the burden to the ground, and the horse ran away, and the person was still hanging in the air.
When the thieves saw this, they kicked their horses and ran, and they didn't have time to ask for the money.
......
The village was a mess, the villagers were putting out the fires, and some were cleaning up.
Looking at Hans again, although there was nothing life-threatening, the fatal kick to this frail child still hurt a little. Sheila walked over to take a look at his injuries. I saw her say, "I'm sorry, I hurt you just now, are you okay?" ”
Hans said, "No...... ...... thing "found that when he spoke, his chest hurt very much, although he didn't want to be rude in front of the lady, but he seemed to be hurt a lot, and he could barely help gritting his teeth and not talking anymore.
Amanda didn't care about his expression, helped Hans to lie on the ground, reached out to his chest, only to see him close his eyes, his hand glowed faintly, and then the light slowly brightened, and Zuihou darkened and disappeared again.
She said: "There are some parts of your body that are bleeding, and two broken ribs are broken, and I have helped you to connect them, but you can't move, you have to rest." But then again, weishenme, you're here?"
"My home is right here. Hans replied reluctantly.
Amanda said, "Alright, I'll help you go home and rest." ”
Following Hans's guidance, Amanda found Hans's home, the door had been kicked and smashed, and the contents had been turned upside down, and Hans couldn't care so much about it, so he didn't want to move when he collapsed on the bed.
Amanda explained to him that they had been tasked with tracking down the thieves, and they found that the thieves knew that the hunters of Modo Village would leave for a few days, so they wanted to take advantage of the looting of Modo Village. They immediately chased after them, but they were still a step too late, and fortunately everyone in the village was fine.
After the thieves escaped, some people in the village went to put out the fire, some people went to clean up their things, and some reclaimed the looted property.
