Mercenaries and Adventurers

The afternoon sun was shining brightly, making everyone outside the farm feel lazy and energyless.

Zhao Ji didn't dare to put away the long sword, he had to beware that the terrifying monster inside the bull's body would starve at any time and hurt the people around him. So Zhao Ji had no choice but to sit not far from the bull and wiped the long sword in his hand over and over again with the soft cloth he carried with him. The long sword is getting brighter and brighter. Zhao Ji likes his sword very much, but there are some disadvantages. It is a bit too heavy. Compared with other long swords, it is about twice as heavy. It made it even more powerful. In addition, its blade is also very hard. The blades of other long swords have some toughness, but Zhao Ji's long sword is too hard. Zhao Ji is a little worried whether the long sword will hit the Hard other weapons cause breakage.

These factors prevented Zhao Ji from giving the sword a name. When chatting with the guards, I heard from them that they all gave their main weapons a name, even if it was not a serious name.

It is said that this is a unified custom or habit in the world.

The crowd of onlookers had dispersed at this time, and Millenton's exhortation had no effect on the crowd of onlookers. On the contrary, at present, because of the long boring waiting, Zhao Ji and the others did not take any action. They just guarded the bull that was rumored to have a monster, and because of the sunlight, the crowd of onlookers had already dispersed one by one. .

They originally wanted to enter the farm to go home, but because the manager of the farm, Mr. Parkeron, did not allow them to enter the farm, and the farmers were quite afraid of Mr. Parkeron’s authority in the farm, so they had to gather at the shady farm wall to avoid Avoiding the sun, by the way, the family sits on the ground and rests.

Only some idle young farmers gathered around Millenton, wanting to see how Zhao Ji and the others finally solved the monster in the bull.

"I'm coming."

A farmer looking in the direction of Kendall City suddenly yelled loudly, startling everyone who was drowsy.

"Someone is coming. I saw Mr. Weiss, as well as guards with weapons."

Zhao Ji also put away the soft cloth for wiping the long sword, stood up and looked at the group of people who came from Kendall City.

A group of seven people came, and the one leading the way was Mr. Weiss, the owner of Weiss Farm. Behind him are two middle-aged men talking side by side. One of them Zhao Ji has seen is Knight Crow, the captain of the town guard. At this time, he is the same as when Zhao Ji saw him last time. Instead of wearing the equipment and services of a guard, he only wears a samurai uniform. But the knowledgeable people in Kendall City know that the reason why Knight Crowe doesn't wear equipment is because he doesn't need to wear equipment at all, and he can defeat groups of armed guards wearing only a samurai uniform.

Zhao Ji, another middle-aged man who was traveling with Knight Crowe, did not know him. This man was wearing a half-length steel armor without a helmet. His hair was combed behind his head and fixed with an iron headband. He is carrying a red strong bow, which is not stringed at this time, but is carried in a bow bag behind his back, with a quiver hanging on his waist, and several short spears are also carried beside the bow bag behind him .

Being able to come in parallel with Knight Crowe, Zhao Ji estimated that this person was either familiar with Knight Crowe, or had the same status as Knight Crowe.

After that, there were two clerks in short robes and short boots, a man and a woman. The short robes are exquisitely patterned and fit the body. They wear wide hats with large brims to shade their heads. The male clerks have two rooster's tail feathers on their hats, and the female clerks have a wild goose's tail feathers on their hats. They held notebooks like books in their hands, pens and inks and a small bundle of processed sheepskin scrolls were pinned to the leather pouches around their waists, and all kinds of cheap jewelry on their bodies were separated by distance. Allows people to see reflected flashes.

Zhao Ji was a little envious, let alone cheap jewelry, he was reluctant to buy even a single gold jewelry. Of course,

His sixth-class security badge issued by the Saturnalia Church is very prestigious, but no one would wear such a precious treasure all day long to show off.

Behind them were the last two guards, all equipped with standard guard equipment, but instead of long swords and shields, they carried two long halberds on their shoulders.

A group of people approached, and Zhao Ji and Millenton went to greet them and explain the situation. Millenton also asked one of his farmer partners to call Mr. Parkron, the farm steward who appeased the farmers, and said that Mr. Weiss had brought The big men from the city who dealt with things were invited.

Millenton recognized Knight Crowe. After all, the baron himself and several knights in the city trained the annual winter militia training in Kendall City, and Knight Crowe was among them. And because Knight Crowe is in the prime of his life and has great abilities, he organizes many training sessions. The other knights were either too old and lacking energy. Either they are too young, the knight's skills still need to be polished, and some of them are dealing with fief affairs in their own village fiefs, but they don't show up. They rarely lead the militia inside and outside the city for military training.

As for Baron Kendall, he mostly just watched the training from a distance at the door of the camp, and he would not personally train these uneducated militiamen.

Zhao Ji and Millenton met the people from the city together. Zhao Ji walked up to Mr. Weiss and told him everything about his departure. After all, this was his client. Zhao Ji only used Responsible to him.

And Millenton, as the captain of the militia team where the Weiss farm is located, came to the front of the Crowe knight, hit the chest twice with his fist, made a local military salute, and said to the Crowe knight: "The militia squad outside the city Bode Millendon, Captain of the Fifth Squad, salutes Knight Crowe, Deputy Captain of the Kendall County Militia."

"Good afternoon, Captain Millendon." Knight Crowe responded casually to Millendon, and then ordered Millendon while listening to Zhao Ji telling Mr. Weiss about the current situation: "Now I order you, go Organize all the militiamen on your farm, take care of your cowshed and the bull that the little brother just mentioned, and disperse the crowd of onlookers by the way."

"Yes! I got your order and fulfilled your order." Millenton immediately gave another military salute, slammed his chest twice with his hands, and then ran to his young farmer companions, yelling for them to return to the farm. Arm yourself and carry out the orders of the Knights of Claw.

Zhao Ji glanced at Millenton who suddenly left with great energy, and continued to tell Mr. Weiss about the current situation. Knight Crowe and a middle-aged soldier who didn't know his name also approached, listening to Zhao Ji's narration.

The clerks brought by the two Crowe knights had already unfolded a rather large notebook, and recorded Zhao Ji's words with a pen and ink pinned to their waists. Before recording, they also asked Zhao Ji's name, and Zhao Ji Answered his own name "Joe Keel."

The two recording clerks glanced at each other when they heard Zhao Ji's name, as if they had heard of Zhao Ji's reputation. Hehe, that's pretty good. In Zhao Ji's view, his reputation has now reached the ears of those with real power in Kendall City.

Knight Crowe and the unknown fighter didn't respond to Zhao Ji's name. It is estimated that according to their understanding, Kiel's performance is not good enough, not enough, and he doesn't get much attention.

Zhao Ji told this group of people in detail what he knew. The recent performance of the breeding cattle mentioned by the farmer who raises the breeding cattle is also explained in detail.

Mr. Weiss pulled his face down when he heard that his own bull was also slapped by the monster, but when he thought of the identity of the person next to him, he immediately covered his face with his hands, rubbed it a few times, After his expression calmed down, he quietly introduced the identities of the people around him to Kiel.

After getting the latest information, Knight Crowe and the unknown warrior took the rest of the people and walked directly to the place where the bulls lived.

"The one in front wearing that nice dress is our Klau Knight from Kendall City."

"The 'beautiful clothes' are samurai uniforms, which can only be worn by high-level fighters and knights. I have met Knight Crowe by chance before, and I know who he is, but who is the soldier walking next to him?"

Mr. Weiss smiled, pointed to the north with his finger, and said to Zhao Ji in a low voice: "I am lucky today. When I returned to the city just now, Knight Crow and his friend Knight Fultz were at the gate of the city. There was a martial arts competition on the top, and there were a lot of spectators at the bottom. I heard from the onlookers that the knight who competed with Knight Crowe was a knight of the Imperial Border Knights who came to Kendall City for vacation."

Zhao Ji stared at Mr. Weiss with wide eyes. He really had to admire the courage or recklessness of this middle-aged man, and whispered to him: "You interrupted their competition? Just ran over to ask them to uphold justice?"

"No, no, I waited until they finished the competition before going forward to explain the situation. Knight Fultz saw the metal bottle I took out and recognized it as the private property of a certain important person in the Knights Order, so he pulled it away. Knight Crowe came here together. Knight Crowe also ordered two guards and invited two clerks from the government affairs office to come over to confirm the situation."

Zhao Ji nodded, saw the metal bottle in Knight Fultz's hand, and affirmed what Mr. Weiss said.

He reckoned that luckily this monster was related to a certain important person in the knight order, and could directly lead Knight Foltz over. If this thing is only the public property of the Knights, Zhao Ji reckons that the Lord Knight would not delay his vacation to deal with these matters. In the end, Mr. Weiss had to go to the church or the government office.

Now that there are two knights present, this matter can definitely be properly handled. The most wonderful thing is that this matter is handled by a knight of Kendall City and a knight of the Knights. The knights of Kendall represent the side of the farm that has lost interests, while the knights of the Knights represent the party that caused damage and chaos. And the two are still friends who can compete in martial arts, which is wonderful.

After Zhao Ji put down these things, he asked Mr. Weiss in a relaxed tone: "Let's not talk about that, I guess the matter will be over soon. By the way, the two knights competed in martial arts before, and you saw that in the end it was Who has won?"

"Needless to say, the Knights of Crowe won. Although I can't see clearly, after all, their movements are too fast, and they can jump from one end of the city gate to the other in just the blink of an eye. Finally Knight Crowe caught all the short spears stabbing him with steel-clad gloves, and then approached Knight Foltz, and Knight Foltz surrendered."

"You still know how to fight?"

"Tch, I just listened to what the onlookers told me!"

Zhao Ji shrugged, guessing that the combat power possessed by Crow Knight and Foltz Knight could jump from one end of the city wall to the other in an instant, and so on?

Zhao Ji asked Mr. Weiss: "What kind of jumping method do you mean by jumping from one end of the city wall to the other? Is it from one end of the city wall to the other side across the entire width of the city wall, or?"

"What kind of jumping method can it be? Of course, it is to jump directly from the wall on the left side of the city gate to the city wall on the right side of the city gate."

"Uh, how far is that?"

"It's more than thirty meters, it's about this far."

Zhao Ji grinned at the corner of his mouth, good guy, more than thirty meters away, are they frogs? I can jump like this. This is still a jump in the martial arts competition. Zhao Ji reckoned that if they tried their best, they would not be able to jump forty or fifty meters. Are they still human?
