Banner of the Evil God
Chapter 17
Natural armor, also known as armored skin, refers to skin that is as tough as armor and can resist swords.
This is a very rare ability. Apart from those powerful monsters, only ascetics who have undergone rigorous training or veteran warriors who have experienced countless battles can have it.
Because when Sui Xiong "pinched Gerard's face", he made his appearance quite young, looking like a young giant who had just started his career, so no one would mistake him for an ascetic or a veteran warrior.
Since neither of them is true, there is only one possibility left - this young man who looks just big is actually a super strong man comparable to a monster!
How can those old-timers who know the goods not be surprised!
The chief guard of the Temple of the God of Justice is of course also knowledgeable. When he saw the scene of the arm blocking the knife, he was stunned for a moment and couldn't help laughing.
"I still underestimated you!" He laughed, his gray eyebrows trembling slightly, "So, are you interested in learning some advanced skills? For example, you can chop down several people with one sword, or you can launch a second attack immediately after an attack without having to retract the move, or you can use light weapons to achieve the effect of heavy weapons, and use heavy weapons to achieve the effect of light weapons... and so on."
Jerad was really tempted when he heard this.
He was an experienced adventurer and knew a lot of fighting skills, but to be honest, they were all common goods. He had only heard of methods such as the "whirlwind attack", "chain attack" and "free weapon" mentioned by the guard captain, and had never seen them, let alone learned them.
For a warrior, the more and more advanced fighting skills he knew, the stronger he would be. Those top warriors could even fight legendary monsters with one sword, and they could kill thousands of troops and horses, and their fighting power was simply abnormal.
If he could learn everything the guard chief said, maybe he could become stronger and not let the god he believed in specially protect him and become a burden to His Majesty...
Thinking of this, his heart was warmed, and he couldn't help but agree to the old guard chief's suggestion, but he changed his mind and swallowed the words that were about to come out of his mouth.
The master he served was not the gods that were well-known to the public in this world, but a new god. If he wanted to become a disciple, he would definitely need to stay in the temple of the God of Justice for a while. If he was found out, wouldn't it cause trouble for His Majesty!
He was shocked and quickly refused.
The old guard chief saw that he seemed to have been tempted, but gave up for some reason, and couldn't help but feel a little regretful. But as a believer of the God of Justice, he certainly couldn't force others to become his disciples, so he had to tell Gerard that if he was interested, he could come to the temple to study at any time, and then left in disappointment.
The old man was quite prestigious in the town. Even he failed to recruit him, so the other people who were interested in Gerald gave up the idea of recruiting him, which finally gave Gerald some free time. He was walking casually on the street with a small bag on his back, and unknowingly came to a big wooden sign.
This wooden sign was erected in the square in the center of the town, and its location was very conspicuous. There were pieces of cloth of different sizes on the wooden sign, some of which were only written with words, and some were illustrated with pictures and texts. There was also a boy who looked quite clever guarding it next to it. From time to time, someone went to the wooden sign to take a closer look, and then went to the boy to ask what was going on. Some people also stuffed him with one or two silver coins. The business was quite prosperous.
"What is that doing?" Sui Xiong asked.
"Your Majesty, that is the bounty column. All kinds of bounties, big and small, as long as they are not shady, will be posted here. That young man is from the Adventure Guild, and he is responsible for the early contact here, and sells some information by the way." Gerald is quite familiar with these things, after all, he himself has been an adventurer.
Sui Xiong roughly understood. He was a little curious about this employment system, so he devoted a little energy to carefully look at the task list on the wooden sign. After a while, he suddenly saw Gerald's head on a piece of cloth.
That was Gerald's appearance "before he died". There were two pictures, one was a close-up of his face, and the other was a full-body portrait. In general, the painting skills were very good. Although the brushstrokes were not many, they accurately grasped Gerald's facial features, making it easy for people to recognize him. Sui Xiong felt that even if the man who painted these two pictures traveled to Earth, he could set up a stall in a tourist attraction just by painting portraits - like his senior brother who was also bald.
However, his senior brother, who was named Hua Siyuan, set up a stall in Tiananmen Square. Being able to set up a stall in the core area of a great country showed that he had extraordinary skills and was the strongest king among street painters. In comparison, the brother who painted the portrait was at best a luxurious platinum level, and could only set up a stall in Badaling and earn hard-earned money in the sun and wind.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help laughing.
"Your Majesty, what's so funny?" Gerard asked.
Sui Xiong pointed to the piece of cloth and said, "Look, there's your reward."
Gerard looked calm, without any surprise: "Yes, my reward should still be posted. Let me see... Ha, the reward has increased."
There were a few lines of words below the portrait on the piece of cloth, which roughly meant: Bald Rune, wanted by the Blue Moon Kingdom for attacking a noble. A reward of one thousand gold coins is offered, and you can claim it after taking the head to the Temple of the God of Nobles or the God of Commerce for verification.
"One thousand gold coins is equivalent to one hundred thousand copper coins, which is a large amount! What did you do to get such a large reward?"
"When I was an adventurer, I used the pseudonym Rune - most of us adventurers use pseudonyms to avoid trouble. At that time, we had an adventure team with a total of six people, and we all had a good relationship. Later, during an adventure, a companion was killed by a Warcraft He bit off his leg, and we needed to raise money for him to go to the temple to receive treatment for the regeneration of the broken limb, so we took on a dark job of smuggling weapons. As a result, the employer not only refused to pay but also wanted to silence him. After a fierce battle, only I was left dead among my teammates." Gerald summarized the past events of conspiracy, betrayal, anger and blood in the simplest words possible, "The Viscount died in the battle... …That’s pretty much it.”
Sui Xiong was silent for a moment and said, "Well done! Is the original enemy still alive?"
"No, we adventurers can't hate you overnight."
"Well done!"
Gerald scratched his head with a silly smile on his face.
"Your Majesty, I suggest you take a look at these tasks. There may be ones suitable for us." He suggested, "Building temples, promoting righteous faith, and cultivating priests all cost money."
"I've said before that I'm not a god, so there's no need to spend all this money..."
"You're going to need to spend this money sooner or later, and there's nothing wrong with being prepared."
Sui Xiong had nothing to do with Gerrard's stubbornness. The biggest fear of being a boss is to meet a subordinate who is loyal and stubborn. You can't bear to fight, but it doesn't make sense to talk about it, especially when the other party puts on a posture of "big boss, I am here for your own good", as if he is ready to do anything to you at any time. When it comes to serving the country with death, except for those convulsions like Emperor Sui Yang who have water in their heads, even those "one emperor through the ages" can only shake their heads, sigh, and give in.
Anyway, idle time is idle, so it’s good to find something to do to pass the time.
Since Sui Xiong decided to do some tasks to make money, of course he went straight to the task with the highest pay. At the top of the reward column, there was a piece of cloth that looked a little old. There was no pattern on it, only a few lines of words.
To kill the Shadow Demon King, use the magic core as a certificate, and all the major temples will jointly notarize it. The reward will be 100,000 gold coins, plus two customized high-level magic items. After verification, the magic core will belong to the killer.
"This mission is not bad, there are 100,000 gold coins!"
Gerald looked at it and shook his head: "The Shadow Demon is the most famous monster in the eastern region of the Ash Forest. It is at least a legendary monster, and is probably a demigod. There are many ways to make money, so why fight a demigod for money? "
"Demigod...isn't he very powerful?" Sui Xiong couldn't help but be a little interested. Since time traveling, he has never encountered a truly evenly matched opponent.
According to Gerald, he estimated that he was probably a strong person at the level of demigod. Demi-gods would definitely be able to fight demigods very happily.
"Your Majesty, we really don't need to go out of our way to provoke that guy!" Gerald was a little anxious, "It's not worth it! Even if you want to find an opponent to fight with, you can also find someone like the 'Skeleton Devourer' who can communicate with you , The Shadow Demon is notoriously evil, and he will definitely use all kinds of conspiracies to plot against you!"
Sui Xiong sighed and stopped discussing this topic. He finally figured it out. If he insisted on having a fight with the Shadow Demon King, Gerald would have to swing his knife to kill himself to stop him.
What should I do if my subordinates are too loyal? Waiting online, quite urgent.
Alas... there is no internet!
Ignoring this mission, there are some other high-priced missions on the bounty column. One of them, Sui Xiong, thought it was good:
Expel the evil dragon "Arctic Tyrant" who lives in the mountains near Longroar Town. After the expulsion is completed, you need to bring the priests from three different temples, including the God of Justice, to the Dragon Lair for verification. The mission reward is 5,000 gold coins. In addition, if reinforcements are not needed, you can have exclusive access to all the treasures in the Dragon Lair.
Gerrard did not object to this task. As far as he knew, most evil dragons bully the weak and fear the strong. With the force of His Majesty "Void Mask", as long as he does not steal the treasure hidden in the dragon's cave, he will definitely be able to force the evil dragon to move. In general, these five thousand gold coins are not difficult to earn.
After paying a silver coin, asking for some information from the Adventurer Guild's contact person, and determining the general location of the dragon's lair, Gerald bought some necessities for wild life and prepared to leave Huishite Town and head to Dragon Roar Town. .
However, he stopped just a short distance from the town.
A carriage fell to the ground and a group of chaotic merchants blocked his way.
