Chapter 5: Miss Kose
To become a recognized demon hunter, you must pass a formal assessment, and to participate in the assessment, you have to go to the Imperial City.
The Imperial City is the most prosperous city in the country, and it is also the city with the most complex quality and the most crimes. Therefore, there is a popular saying among the people: if you love someone, please send him to the imperial city, and if you hate someone, please send him to the imperial city!
Leng Jian, Qin Mengqi and Feng Qingrou were heading towards the Imperial City, and it would be a very long journey.
Because he was on the way, Meng Qi proposed to go home first, and Leng Jian and Feng Gentle had no objections. Now they were sitting in a speeding carriage. Monchi took the initiative to play the role of groom, while Cold Sword and Wind Breeze sat opposite each other in the carriage.
"I said friend, the Suwen Bounty Falcon Club is very strict with its members, and you quit rashly without consulting your superiors, do you think they will let you go?" Meng Qi asked Leng Kendao as he rode his horse.
"If they want to hunt me down, just come!" Leng Ken said, "But I promise I won't trouble you and Miss Feng." ”
"You can't help but look down on me when you say that. "I already have you as a friend, and if anyone wants to kill you, they have to ask me for a pair of fists first!"
Leng Jian was silent, and for some reason a trace of emotion sprouted in his heart, which was an unprecedented feeling for him.
The breeze, who had been silent, suddenly asked, "Meng Qi, who else is in your family?"
"Me? There's no one else but me, my parents. "Actually, I don't plan to go back in person this time, and I have to ask you to carry a message for me." ”
"Why?" asked the wind softly and curiously.
"Let me tell you, I was a former member of the Templars. "I was admitted to the Paladin Academy at the age of seventeen, but now I've been expelled. ”
"And how old are you now?" asked the wind softly.
"It's exactly eighteen after this month. Monchi laughed.
"So you've been expelled less than a year ago?" said Feng softly, "It should be a great honor to be a Templar, why don't you cherish it?"
"I'm not a Templar at all, my dream is to be a good demon hunter, and getting into the Paladin Academy is simply my father's wishful thinking. "He wanted me to become the leader of the Templars and continue on the path he hadn't finished, but I asked myself if I couldn't." ”
"If you don't work hard, how do you know you can't do it?" asked the breeze.
"I hate restraint, but the Holy Horse Academy has a lot of rules and strict management, how do you think I can stay?" Meng Qi said, "So I can only deliberately make mistakes so that the academy can fire me." But I haven't told my father about it yet, and if he knew he would be sad, and he wouldn't approve of me going to be a witcher, that's why I need your help. ”
"Then how do you want us to help you?" asked the wind softly tentatively.
Meng Qi said: "You just say that they are my classmates, and say that I am all right, but I was sent by the academy to carry out a mission in other places, and I will definitely come back to visit them later." ”
"This kind of lie is too fake, do you think your parents will believe it?" Feng Qingrou couldn't help but laugh.
"You laugh at me, do you have a better way?" asked Monchi expectantly.
"No, but I'm not going to help you. Feng gently patted the cold sword and asked, "Hey, wooden face, what do you think?"
Before Leng Jian could respond, Meng Qi laughed dryly and said, "When did Brother Leng Jian have another wood-faced name?"
Only then did Leng Jian slowly speak: "Don't call me a wooden face, just call me a sword." ”
"You're not wood, why are you stiff all day? It's okay to give some expression? My mother is gone, and you're not as wooden. Feng gently curled her little lips and glared at Leng Jian and said.
Leng Jian only responded with a moment of silence.
"Miss Feng, just spare him!" Meng Qi smiled, "A cool and handsome man like Brother Leng Jian, I believe that you can charm a large number of girls without talking!"
"Alright, let's not talk about that, I'm hungry, let's find a place to fill my stomach!" the wind gently suggested.
"No problem, there's a town ahead, just stop there and eat again!" said Monchi, urging the horses faster.
Soon in town, Monch left the carriage on the side of the road, and the three of them walked together to find the hotel.
They had been walking down the street for a short time when they noticed a very strange phenomenon. It turned out that the nearby pedestrians seemed to deliberately avoid them, walking, hiding, and some timid even slipped directly into the house and closed the doors and windows.
"These people are so weird, are we really that terrible?" Qin Mengqi said as he still held the back of his head with his hands on his head, looking around.
"I think they mistakenly think we're some dangerous people. Leng Jian said.
"It's useless to guess, just find someone to ask. The wind gently suggested.
"There's a restaurant in front, let's go in and ask!" Qin Mengqi said and quickened his pace.
Qin Mengqi was the first to enter the restaurant, and when he saw the boss of the counter, he immediately greeted him, and was about to ask one or two, but the boss was very frightened, and waved his hand again and again and begged: "Big brother, I really don't have any money, you will spare me this time, right?"
"I think you're misunderstood, I just want to ask you something, not to ask you for money, and I won't hurt you. Qin Mengqi spread his hands and said.
"You're really not robbers?" asked the shopkeeper, who relaxed his nerves a little.
"Why do you think we're robbers?" asked the wind softly.
"I saw this little brother shirtless, with a muscular body, and the one behind you with a sword as big as that, and a murderous look on his face, so I ......," the shopkeeper said.
"Damn, are those robbers as handsome as I am?" said Monchi, slapping the table.
"Not really! They were all very strong and fierce, and their faces were hideous, and no one dared to mess with them. But most of them didn't wear shirts, and they were shirtless like you, so I misunderstood. The shopkeeper said, "I'm sorry, if the three of you have any orders, just speak." ”
"I just want to know when the robbers will come back?" asked the shopkeeper.
"If there are no accidents, they should come today, they come almost once a month, saying that they are collecting some kind of protection money. ”
"Well, I'm going to meet the robbers today to see if they have three heads and six arms. Qin Mengqi said with high morale.
"You're a foreigner, so it's better not to go through this troubled water. The shopkeeper persuaded, "You may not believe it, their leader is an old and ugly witch! Don't underestimate her, her strength is so strong, and the giant hammer of a thousand pounds is as easy as wielding a knife, and if you are not careful, she will be smashed to pieces!"
"Oh, there is such a thing?" Qin Mengqi touched his chin, and continued, "This woman is really not simple?"
"Not only that, if you see her, don't call her ugly, you have to praise her as a great beauty in the sky and not on the ground, otherwise you will eat a hammer. The shopkeeper kindly reminded.
"I would never say anything to cover my conscience!" said Monchi, waving his hand, "I'd rather be stoned to death by her." ”
"Isn't there anyone to take care of these robbers?" said the breeze.
"It's not that it doesn't matter, it's that it can't be managed. The shopkeeper said, "The security of our town has always been bad, and the nearby army is few and poor, and they are all afraid of these robbers, but it will hurt us people! If it weren't for the fact that there was a home here, I would have packed up my package and left early in the morning." ”
"But there's no way to go on like this?" said the wind softly.
"This bandit head is most likely a demon. Leng Jian suddenly said, "I think I'll meet her." ”
"Demons?" said the shopkeeper, surprised, "Demons with the blood of the Fallen?"
Leng Jian nodded, "It's very likely, if that's the case, it's really hard to deal with." ”
"It's terrible, I advise you to leave quickly!" said the innkeeper, "so as not to get into unnecessary trouble." ”
"Are there any inns around here?" Leng Jian asked the shopkeeper.
"Yes, why do you ask this?" said the shopkeeper.
"Of course it's a stay. Qin Mengqi hurriedly said, "We're going to stay and wait for that gang of robbers to appear, so that we can meet that witch!"
"Yes, that's what I intended. Leng Jian nodded in agreement.
"Miss Feng, you won't be afraid, will you?" Qin Mengqi looked at the wind and asked softly.
The wind said softly, "Don't be afraid, that old witch is so hateful, and I want to teach her a lesson." ”
"That's good, we're on the same page. Qin Mengqi said happily.
As he was talking, he suddenly heard a noise outside, as if something big had happened.
"Oh no, they're really here...... shopkeeper shuddered, and the whole person shrank into a ball and hid on the terrace.
Seeing the shopkeeper's reaction, Qin Mengqi couldn't help but shake his head, "It's useless to be a man for fear of being like this...... and walked out. Cold Sword and Wind followed softly.
"Search me for all the valuable things, and whoever dares to resist will let him taste the power of my jack hammer!" said a middle-aged woman with a bloated body and a giant hammer on her back. I saw it more clearly, but I saw that she had silver-white curls that fell all the way to her shoulders, her nose was high and pointed, and her skin was rough and shriveled, like the bark of a thousand-year-old tree. A pair of strange eyes are like two ghost fires in the night, very weird.
"Looks like you're the old and ugly old witch. Qin Mengqi walked up to the giant hammer woman and said.
"What did you say?" the giant hammer woman glared at Qin Mengqi viciously and shouted, "Call me Miss Cosie!" and you dare to call me old and ugly?"
"Not only do I want to scold you, but I also want to beat you!" Qin Mengqi said, clenching his fist.
"I'm so angry!" Miss Koss shouted, picking up the giant hammer behind her back and looking at Qin Mengqi's head and quickly slashing down!
Qin Mengqi flipped backwards, and the hammer missed, leaving only a wide pit on the ground.
"The way you look so angry is that I want to vomit!" Qin Mengqi glared at Gao Si and said.
Gao Siqi's seven orifices smoked, and immediately gave an order: "Stop all actions, capture this kid alive, I will slowly torture him to death!"
Those minions with murderous weapons were shocked when they heard this thunderbolt-like roar, and they all grabbed their weapons and surrounded Qin Mengqi.
"Sword, you protect Miss Haofeng, I can handle it alone. Qin Mengqi put on a fighting posture and said to the cold sword behind him.
Leng Jian didn't answer, just pulled up the wind and gently stepped back.
The corners of Qin Mengqi's mouth curled, he smiled, without saying a word, rushed up a few steps, and started hand-to-hand combat with the swarming robbers.
Miss Gao Si saw that Qin Mengqi had accomplices, and her eyes had already locked on the cold sword and the gentle wind.
Leng Jian also looked at Miss Kosie, but it was Miss Kosi who launched the offensive first.
Another Sky Hammer slammed down, and the cold sword chose to block in order to protect the wind behind him. Listening to the "dang" sound, although Leng Jian used his sword to block the giant hammer, he felt a sharp pain in the tiger's mouth, and the giant sword almost got out of his hand!
"Wind girl, you go to the house to take shelter first!" Leng Jian urged the wind to walk gently and quickly as he desperately pushed the giant hammer away.
The breeze nodded and returned to the restaurant.
