Mercenaries and Adventurers

Zhao Ji looked at the scene just now with some surprise. He didn't expect to be able to use supernatural power as a knight. It seems that he still knows too little about this world.

After Knight Crowe cleaned the cow ring with one punch, he felt better, and he was no longer the stinky face after being humiliated by his subordinates just now. The two knights approached and observed the head of the cattle on the fence of the cattle pen, expressing their views while watching.

Knight Crowe: "Look, there are still tiny maggots in the bull's eyes. It has indeed been dead for a few days."

Knight Fultz pressed his hand on the parietal bone of the cow's head: "The inside is empty, there is no brain. This thing still eats brains."

Knight Crowe fiddled with the cow's ear with a piece of wood he picked up at random: "There is no such light yellow mucus on the ear, and it has never come out of the ear connected to the brain."

The two said a few words to each other, and Zhao Ji recorded them all in the notebook.

Knight Crowe and Knight Fultz climbed over the fence and approached the body of the cow carcass. The two looked at the breach in the cattle's back and expressed their opinions.

Knight Crowe gestured at the various breaches and the blood on the wall: "Look, how far the blood has traveled after breaking out of the body, and it splashed on the wall. It's quite brutal. Hehe."

Knight Fultz: "Your idea is wrong. You can't judge monsters' thoughts and behaviors from human's own point of view."

"Then judge the monster's idea."

"Well, it should look like this. You are locked in a cell for a long time, eating and wearing less. Suddenly one day, you ran out of the cell and came to a warehouse full of food. What will you do at this time? Do?"

"I will eat less, take more, and run away quickly. Who knows if someone will catch it again." Knight Crowe replied.

This answer obviously did not satisfy Knight Fultz, and Knight Crowe saw through Knight Fultz's thoughts, and specifically answered him with a different answer.

Knight Fultz pointed at Zhao Ji: "Tell me about the question I just asked."

Zhao Ji scratched his nose, and then replied: "I will sleep for a long time after eating and drinking. I will think about the future when I wake up."

"Well, that's it, it's not bad. From my point of view, this monster is obviously very excited after it escaped from the bottle that sealed it, and after being full on the cattle, that's why it behaved like this spoil its food."

Knight Crowe raised his brows: "So this monster has some intelligence? No, it's not intelligence. It's emotion?"

Knight Fultz gave Knight Crowe a disgusted look: "Your mount usually has emotions, but you can't make a monster have emotions."

"I can't tell you, I can't tell you."

The two knights then looked at the entrails and limbs of the cattle spread out on the ground, and Zhao Ji quickly wrote down what he said just now in his notebook.

Knight Crowe saw at a glance that the cut on one leg of the farm ox was different from the others, so he patted Knight Fultz, and the two of them observed there together.

"Look, this one went in, there is still mucus on the legs, and the mucus extends all the way to the ground, let me take a look." Knight Crowe traced along the mucus, but the footprints of several people trampled the ground in the cow pen a bit In confusion, he couldn't find it for a while.

Zhao Ji recorded Knight Crowe's words and actions just now, and seeing his embarrassment, he helped guide the monster to enter the cowshed: "Knight Crowe, let me interrupt, the monster came from behind you." It’s drilled into the wall. It’s at a height of 20 centimeters from the most corner of the cattle pen, in the middle of the gap between two log fences.”

Following Zhao Ji's instructions, Knight Crowe immediately found the place where the monster came in: "That's right, it's here, Fultz, look, your little monster can even gnaw on wood, and such a small hole can I can get in."

Said Knight Foltz: "Not my 'little monster',

It belongs to a certain officer. Obviously, this thing can increase its body size as it eats. You see, it was only so small when it got into the cowshed. about five times larger. "

"That's right, that's right. Judging from the small hole, it can indeed be put into the metal bottle on your body. Then it is so big now, how can we get it away in a while. By the way, you have to live Or dead?" Knight Crowe asked.

Knight Fultz shrugged his shoulders: "Of course it's best if it's alive. If it's dead, it's a waste of time. How to get it away? Well, let me think about it. The wooden barrel is obviously not good. Its original The bottle is too small. It can only be filled with an iron barrel or some other metal."

"How can there be such a thing now! Except for the farm tools, the iron cooking pots in this farm are made of iron." Crow Knight complained.

"Ha, you're really smart, wouldn't it be enough to flip two identical pots upside down? Haha." Knight Fultz thought of an idea and laughed out loud.

After speaking, Knight Fultz used his short spear to knock down the carcass of the cattle just to be on the safe side. The two checked the situation inside the cattle's body again.

To be honest, Zhao Ji never expected that the two knights could talk and laugh while facing the rotten and swollen internal organs of the cattle. The hearts of these two people are really big. Zhao Ji also noticed that the maggots in the cattle did not die. At this time, as the cattle body was overturned, they were frightened and crawled around, but none of the maggots would crawl towards the direction of the two knights. They arched one after another in opposite directions.

Zhao Ji couldn't guess why this phenomenon happened. He could only guess that the two knights had supernatural powers in their bodies that prevented other weak animals from approaching.

If so, it would be very convenient. In swamps and forests, there is no need for various insect repellent means to drive away all kinds of annoying and dangerous insects.

--------------

After the inspection, the three of them walked out of the cowshed together. Knight Crowe patted Zhao Ji on the shoulder and encouraged him in a low voice: "Good job." Zhao Ji nodded quickly, and then returned the recorded things to the original Male clerk.

"Nake, Trish, how are you two doing?" Knight Crowe asked the two clerks.

"Fortunately, my lord, it's much better now. The main reason is that there's nothing to vomit, and I've vomited up lunch." Clerk Naco replied with a pale face, and the female clerk named Cui Qian twisted him when she heard it. one time.

"It's fine if you can still joke." Then Knight Crowe turned around, looked at his two guards and said fiercely: "Guards, where are your weapons? Where are they?"

"My lord, I fell inside just now."

"I know it fell inside! What's the matter? Let me go in and take it out for you two?" Knight Crowe glared at the two guards.

"Understood, let's go in and get it." After finishing speaking, the two men staggered into the cowshed with bitter faces, and ran out in a blink of an eye.

Both guards lowered their heads and looked at the ground. It seemed that they had thought of a way to prevent vomiting. After entering inside, just don't look in the direction of the cattle corpse. Although there are all kinds of vomit all over the floor, it's okay no matter what.

Knight Crowe snorted, and asked Millenton to lead his men to follow, and everyone went out of the farm.

-----------------

Come to the gate of the farm. Mr. Weiss hurriedly asked his 'housekeeper', Mr. Parkron, to prepare some cleaning things: "Pakron, hurry up and bring a few people, and prepare clean water for rinsing mouths and basins for cleaning weapons for the clerks and guards. hurry up."

Mr. Parkron nodded yes, and found a few farmers and women watching the excitement at the gate of the farm to prepare and deliver things.

Knight Foltz looked over and said to Mr. Weiss: "Prepare two more iron pots, and some insect repellent herbs. We are going to get the stuff out of the bull."

Mr. Parkron looked at Mr. Weiss, and seeing Mr. Weiss nodding his head like a pounding garlic, he went to find the things himself.

Secretary Naco called Zhao Ji, and Zhao Ji walked to him and heard him say: "Please trouble you again, our hands and feet are still weak now. I tried it just now, but I can't hold the pen. Please help me." help."

"No problem, what do you think of what I recorded just now?" Zhao Ji took the pen and ink and the notebook, unfolded the notebook to the latest place just now, and showed the clerk the part he wrote.

"It's okay, I remember it in detail, but the handwriting is too sloppy, you don't have a lot of writing experience?" Clerk Cui Qian said after looking at the things in the notebook.

"Ha, I just learned to read characters recently, and I don't have many opportunities to practice. I don't want to part with paper, so I have to use branches to practice on the ground." Zhao Ji said embarrassedly.

"If you want to write good characters, you still have to practice on paper, and you can't write with the idea of ​​writing casually. You have to try to write every word of your own in a fair and standardized way." Nake said the clerk.

At this time, Knight Crowe pointed to the long sword on Zhao Ji's waist and said: "You use a sword, right? The path of martial arts is the same as the art of writing. Every move, every style, and even every sword of your own Just like writing, it must be fair and regulated. Every word and character in the book must be written neatly, and every thrust and swing of the sword in your hand must grasp the timing and strength. Just in time for Fultz to prepare to drive Cordyceps medicine is ready, let me see how your level is."

Zhao Ji hurriedly said excitedly: "Then I will trouble Sir Knight to guide me."

"Ha, I've heard your name, boy. Now draw your sword."

Zhao Ji hurriedly put down the written notebook and pen and ink. Stepping out a few steps, looking at the surrounding people, Zhao Ji drew out the long sword at his waist.

scandium.

The long sword was drawn out, and Zhao Ji had wiped it well in the afternoon. So at this time, the surface of the long sword is very shiny, which is the sun's rays reflected by the small scale-like dents on the long sword.

Knight Crowe recognized Zhao Ji's long sword style at a glance: "Hey, it's an old pioneer sword style. Not bad, not bad, I haven't seen them for twenty years."

"Master Knight, you know the style of this sword. Can you tell me the specific method of using this sword? When I bought it, it was mainly for its strength and toughness, which is convenient for me to hunt monsters. The specific method of use is It’s just that I’ve been groping for it recently, and I don’t know if it’s possible or not, or if it’s easy to use.”

"Stop talking nonsense and swing your sword."

Zhao Ji kept his mouth shut, and performed the sword and shield strike gesture he had learned from the city gate guards. Since he didn't hold a shield today, Zhao Ji's movements looked a little funny when he cast it. However, his personal strong combat style well conceals the ridiculousness of not having a shield in his left hand.

Zhao Ji pretended that there was a fully armed soldier in front of him. While attacking, Zhao Ji resisted and dodged the attack of the pretended enemy. Often three steps forward, it is necessary to retreat two steps in the defensive phase.

He didn't dare to use his full strength in every sword. Zhao Ji knew that this time he was not training alone in the backyard of the chamber of commerce, but showing his sword skills in front of Knight Crowe.

The two clerks watched Zhao Ji swinging his sword around in the open space, and they couldn't see why they were extremely bored. They could only take the clear water bowl sent by the farmer and sip the clear water to relieve their weakness.

The two town guards saw Zhao Ji's movements, but they couldn't see Zhao Ji's fighting style, they just felt that Kiel's movements were not standard. Of course, Kiel's movements are still very fierce, they can feel that they should not be opponents, and the two of them might be able to defeat Kiel together.

Millenton and his militiamen couldn't understand Zhao Ji's movements at all. They could probably sense that Zhao Ji was fighting an enemy they had imagined, but they couldn't see how Zhao Ji moved in battle. and the rhythm of the action. Some people in the militia were discussing about Kiel's skills in low voices, and Millenton scolded them a few words: "We don't understand these things, how about the specifics? After a while, you can see Kiel's level by reading the evaluation of the knight." ?"

Knight Crowe folded his hands on his chest with no expression on his face. It seems that Zhao Ji's current ability is just mediocre in his opinion. Apart from being able to have his own fighting style at a young age, there are no special characteristics, and his physical fitness is even worse than that of the guards who have been trained for many years .

Zhao Ji put away his sword for a while to rest, glanced at Crow Knight, and saw that the other party didn't have any comments, knowing that these were not enough. So he used the third sword and shield move that he had learned before.

This routine was taught to the town guards by Knight Crowe himself. According to Nickton who taught him, even among the guards, there are not many people who can master this trick. Zhao Ji thinks that he is quite talented. When he usually trains by himself, he also likes this move very much. He thinks that this move can be expanded and developed according to the situation to develop many kinds of routines. Different weapons can have different variants. .

Zhao Ji took a breath, and faced the direction where no one was open. The long sword stretches forward with the right hand, the body bends down to accumulate strength, and the left arm covers the front of the head.

With the end of Zhao Ji's energy accumulation, the muscles of the legs and other parts of the body were slightly adjusted to a balance.

With the end of one breath, Zhao Ji's whole body suddenly sprang forward, and with his legs bouncing slightly on the ground several times to accelerate, Zhao Ji's whole body was like a cavalry on horseback, with the shining long sword in his hand at the forefront , Like the cavalry's lance, it rushed forward rapidly.

Watching Kiel's actions, Knight Crowe finally showed a little approving smile on his face.
