Chapter 59: The Border Village
"Fool! I didn't see anyone around the demon calf, it must be a tamer!"
In the midst of the swearing, a group of six professionals in combat uniforms walked around from behind the bushes, and the person who was scolded should be the one who panicked just now.
Lin Shu swept over at a glance, there was only one magician in this team of professionals, judging from the magic halo on his body, it should be a third-order thunder magician, and the remaining three were martial artists, a sniper, and a scout, Lin Shu, the sniper's profession was still the first time he saw it, as for his identity, it was naturally seen from the magic sniper crossbow he was carrying behind his back.
In Farm Six, there are no snipers among the warriors, because the farm's escort team is a mode that exists purely for the purpose of defending against monsters and protecting the villagers, so there will be no snipers and scouts that will only be effective in field combat.
The leader is a warrior who looks a little old, and from the shield and one-handed axe he carries on his back, it can be seen that this is a shield fighting professional, and it can be seen at a glance that this is an old oilman who is mixed with the old rivers and lakes, because he has a pair of cold eyes that are indescribable in joy and anger.
"Who are you, where are you from, where are you going?"
The martial artist's voice was a little hoarse, and when he asked, his eyes were fixed on Lin Shu's eyes, and an invisible pressure was escaping from his eyes and body language, Lin Xiaoyong and Lin Xiaomei couldn't help but feel that they didn't dare to look up, but this level of stuff was completely ineffective against Lin Shu.
Lin Shu smiled and smiled cleanly: "Come from the north, go to the border village, the three of us brothers and sisters want to go there and start again." ”
The martial artist was slightly surprised, of course, he was surprised that this young man's attitude was neither arrogant nor humble, not slippery at all, on the contrary, Lin Shu's attitude was sincere and simple, and he couldn't help but make people feel credible.
As for what Lin Shu said, this old Jianghu quickly interpreted it with his own experience, and it may be a bit over-interpreted.
Several men around looked at the three Lin Shu brothers and sisters with expressions, some were curious, some were suspicious, and some were uneasy and kind.
"Boy, Border Village isn't an amusement park, it's not a place for kids!"
An ill-intentioned voice rushed in front of the shield warrior and reached Lin Shu's ears, Lin Shu didn't need to look at it to know that this was the person who first discovered them just now, after this person was ridiculed and scolded by his companions because of his mistakes at that time, he obviously put the blame for these things on Lin Shu's brothers and sisters, and his attitude towards Lin Shu was naturally very unfriendly.
Moreover, the border village is far away from the emperor, and the influence of national laws in these places should not be great, and it is a place where demonic beasts are rampant, and it is simply too common for a few people to die in the wild, so ordinary that no one will know that there are a few fewer people in this world, so he is also conveying such a hint to his companions in his words.
"Shut up, don't follow us again when you go back this time. ”
"I, I, what am I doing?
"You've done a lot wrong, I'm in charge of this team, not you, and your abilities don't match your professional level, so I've decided to fire you, is there a problem?"
The shield warrior replied coldly, the speed of his speech did not change, not even the ups and downs were noticeable, like an emotionless voice coming from a machine.
"Okay, very good, you don't want me, I won't wait! I'll leave now, and you little cubs, you wait for me." ”
Lin Shu lay down again, this time he was really wronged, Lin Shu didn't do anything, he didn't even say a word to him, how could hatred fall on his head again? This is really grotesque! But Lin Shu remembered the dark red mark in his heart, and suddenly felt a sense of discouragement that he had nothing to say.
The shield warrior looked at the scout who was gone, turned his head absently, glanced at his companion, exhaled with satisfaction, and then turned back and continued to look at Lin Shu and said, "This person will be revenged, you have to be careful." ”
"Xie Lu Xie, how do you get to the village?"
"All the way to the south, you can see it very quickly. Can you tell me about your occupation?"
"As you can see, I'm an animal trainer! Monkey Head, come here!"
Lin Shu beckoned, let the monkey head stand in front of him, and pointed to the people in front of him: "Say hello to everyone." ”
"Squeak!" the monkey grinned perfunctorily, revealing his snow-white teeth that had been brushed by Xiao Yong, and it didn't look like a greeting, but like a provocation.
One of the timid warriors among the five people on the opposite side couldn't help but take a step back, then blushed in embarrassment, and took another step forward, as if he wanted to open his mouth to scold the demon dragon, but he didn't dare, and he looked a little funny.
Lin Xiaomei and Lin Xiaoyong held back their laughter vigorously, and their faces turned red.
"Not a bad demon calcture, there is a fifth order, right?"
"Well, the fifth-order one! It's called Monkey Head. ”
"Take care of your beast tamer, you will be in big trouble if you hurt someone in the village. ”
"Thanks for the reminder!"
Lin Shu thanked him, and walked away with his brother and sister and the monkey head, and the monkey head turned around and grinned again, the target it was staring at the shield warrior.
"Boss, if you don't do anything to them, if you can snatch that demon calf, it will be sent, at least two years' harvest. ”
"Shut up, if you want to die, get out, don't drag us down, this animal trainer with two children can come from the north, can you? Can we? Don't look at that kid is harmless to humans and animals, I tell you, the hardest thing to mess with in the rivers and lakes is this kind of people who seem harmless to humans and animals." ”
"Why don't I see anything so powerful about them?"
The lone magician finally couldn't help but ask.
The shield warrior looked at the three brothers and sisters of the forest tree who had climbed the hillside and said: "Three children, being able to go south through the forest is a proof in itself, besides, do you think these three children can capture the fifth-order demon beast by themselves? What does this mean? It means that there may be a more powerful person or family behind him, and they come to this dangerous place, one is to avoid revenge, and the other is to come to experience, no matter what, once they provoke it, it will be troublesome, understand?"
"Understood, understood, more is better than less!"
"Hmph, it's not stupid yet! If you want to live longer in this world, one is to cause less trouble, and the other is to use your head stuffed with women's rooms!"
Turning over the hillside, and then bypassing a large area of farmland divided by red fruit thorns, you can see a group of scattered buildings of considerable scale built along the mountain in the distance, and at the foot of the mountain where these buildings are entrenched, they use the layers of buildings on the mountain to defend the wall and fix the soil, and there are small holes in the wall, which should be the shooting holes of weapons.
Along the wide mountain road, soon the three brothers and sisters came to the gate of the village, because the rainy season has not completely ended, so there is no one to cultivate the farmland, and the road outside the village is full of professionals who are ready to go to the edge of the forest to try their luck, and they are curious about the strange combination of these three people and one beast.
There were two warriors in battle uniforms guarding the entrance of the village, and when they saw Lin Shu and three beasts approaching, this obvious face immediately attracted their attention.
"Stop! ”
"My name is Lin Shu, this is my younger brother Lin Xiaoyong, my sister Lin Xiaomei, this is my beast taming monkey head, we plan to come to the border village to settle down. ”
"Settle?"
"Yes, it's a long-term residence!"
"I know what settlement is, and where are you from?"
"This"
"Forget it, I just asked casually, people who come here don't need to reveal their identities, but they must abide by the rules!"
Lin Shu grinned and nodded vigorously: "The rules are good, if there are rules, they won't be messy!"
The gatekeeper who was a little arrogant at the beginning caught a glimpse of his companion out of the corner of his eye, and saw that his companion was quietly waving his hand to him at Lin Shu's side, so his attitude couldn't help but become a lot softer, and even showed a little smile on his face.
"That's right, it's easy for everyone to follow the rules, right?"
"Yes, then please tell us about the rules here, we don't know anything?"
"Yes, there is nothing else to do anyway, our border village is governed by a publicly elected village council, the rules of the village are determined by the village council, on the stone wall next to the market in the center of the village, there are detailed provisions, I will give you a general explanation, basically the spirit of the law of my Tang Kingdom is the rules of our village, in addition, the transaction tax must be paid consciously when doing business, the annual residence tax is fifty gold coins per person, the place of residence can be purchased from others, or the village council can buy land to build yourself, of course, the closer to the upper location, the cheaper, but basically a ready-made house enough for the three of you to live, two or three hundred is about the same"
Lin Shu listened carefully, nodding his head from time to time: "Is there an acquisition store here?"
"Yes, but honestly, the price is"
"Hehe, I understand, if according to the laws of my Tang Kingdom, is it strictly forbidden to hurt people and fight?"
"Of course, so take care of your tamers!"
"I see, but where is the place to buy a house?"
"If you're not in a hurry about this, I'll change shifts later, I'll take you there, I can still charge an introduction fee, and save you from being slaughtered if you don't know the place!"
"That's great, I'm going to sell something, it's a long way to come, we can't have cash with us. ”
"Hehe, understood, understood!"
Although Lin Shu didn't know why the guard was suddenly so good at talking, he guessed that it must have something to do with the monkey head, maybe the eyes of these two guards were bright enough to see the rank of the monkey head.
Lin Shu sat on the stone bench on the side and waited for a while, the guard ran over happily, Lin Shu was surprised to find that the other party had changed out of the combat uniform, it seems that the combat uniform is not for private use, I can't see that the management of this village is quite strict, but it is better to have rules than no rules, no matter who sets this rule.
"Hehe, let's go, I'll take you to the store first, there are three big magic shops here, and the prices are actually about the same, but I'm more familiar with the proprietress of the Ye family's shop, and the price will be a little discounted." ”
"That's great, what do you call this guard brother?"
"Oh, you see, I forgot to introduce myself, my name is Yang Jinwu, Lin Shu, right, can I call it like that?"
"No problem, then we will call you Brother Yang, please take care of me in the future." ”
"Hehe, it's easy to say, it's easy to say. ”
