Mercenaries and Adventurers

"What? Beasts and monsters are fighting each other in the wilderness?" Old Domo's loud question represented the same question of most people in the village house at this time.

Zhao Ji nodded: "That's right, at first I thought that the goblin team was another team that came out to harass the village. Until the goblin stayed where it was and fought the arrived Steppenwolves. The battle between them was very Intense, they are the kind of fighting each other. After I dealt with the two wolves attacking me, I hid until the final battle between them. The leader of the pack."

"So that's how it is. No wonder there are so many goblin heads. What happened after that? You solved both parties?" an elder of the village asked.

Zhao Ji shook his head: "Goblins are not the opponents of the wild wolves. I finally scared the last few wild wolves away by relying on the deterrent force after killing their leader wolf."

Old Duo Mu patted Zhao Ji on the shoulder: "You were injured at the time, so you should have returned to the village as soon as possible. When I was young, I saw many comrades who died of wounds after being injured. You shouldn't do that." gone."

Zhao Ji scratched his head and nodded in acknowledgment.

"Okay, let's all stop talking a few words. I'm still healing here. I'll ask you about the more detailed situation when Kiel's injury is better. You're injured, although I can use divine magic to heal it. , but your body may be weak for a period of time. During this time, just take a good rest in the village." The shepherd of Nia asked some villagers in the village house who were satisfied with the news to return, and then gave Kiel some suggestions .

"But besides the goblin heads I brought back, I also peeled off the furs of those wild wolves who died in the battle, and they are still hiding near the battlefield. If they rest in the village for a long time, are there any problems with those furs? Will it be broken?" Zhao Ji explained the reason why he didn't want to rest in the village with some embarrassment.

An elder in the village waved to Zhao Ji and asked if Ji Er had carefully removed the subcutaneous fat on the back of the fur when skinning. Zhao Ji thought for a while, and confirmed that he had scraped off the animal fat on the fur with a dagger after skinning.

The elder promised that as long as the fat was removed, the fur would be fine in this increasingly cold weather as long as it was not wet by the rain.

Zhao Ji had no choice but to nod his head, hoping that it would be good if there would be no rain near Dorallin Village when he was recuperating in the village.

It just rained a while ago, logically speaking, it won't rain recently, right?

Afterwards, Nia Mushou performed healing spells and miraculously restored Zhao Ji's calf bitten by wolves. The flesh and blood on the wound grew back at a speed visible to the naked eye under the light of the divine magic blue light. As a result, Zhao Ji felt very tired physically, and the blue light from Nia Mushou's body also dimmed a lot.

Originally, Nia shepherd heard that Kiel's left arm had also received an impact, and wanted to use magic to heal Kiel's left arm as well. But old Duo Mu patted Zhao Ji's strong shoulders and arms, and assured Nia Mushou: "How can a young man like Keel be so delicate? Look, he has a strong bang sound. This can defeat many monsters." The Warriors don't need much help from you, do they?"

The last sentence of Lao Duomu was to ask Zhao Ji, and Zhao Ji had no choice but to shake his left arm to show Nia Mushou that his arm was only slightly injured and did not need magical treatment. Nia Shepherd finally left the village house, but before leaving, she asked Kiel to take good care of his body. After the magical treatment, there will be a period of physical weakness. It is best not to go out to find The goblins are in trouble, those goblins have been hit one after another recently, and they will surely survive for a while.

When walking out of the village house, Nia Mu slapped his forehead with his hand, and then returned to tell Zhao Ji that a small caravan came to the village from Kendall yesterday. I was entrusted by the Foxtail Chamber of Commerce to deliver something,

The item was for Keir, but he wasn't there, and now the item is temporarily stored with her, who is a member of the church.

Nia shepherd smiled and said to Kiel that he would give the thing to Kiel after he healed his injury.

Only then did Zhao Ji remember that before he came, he had entrusted his partners from the chamber of commerce to transport the wooden box containing the armor to Dorallin Village, but he did not expect it to be delivered yesterday. Hearing that Nia Mushou wanted to use this to let him rest in peace, Zhao Ji had no choice but to explain that what was contained in the box was his armor for battle. With that, he would not be injured again when fighting monsters in the wilderness up.

Nia Mushou shook his head: "The most important thing is for you to heal your injury. Go and wash it, then eat something and rest."

Zhao Ji looked at old Duo Mu: "Uncle, you have to get my armor back quickly. With it, my fighting ability will rise in a straight line. And I won't be injured so easily in the future."

"You can, and you have your own set of armor. Is it at home or borrowed?" Old Duo Mu sat on the side, picked up a fruit from the food prepared for Zhao Ji in the village house, and ate a few bites.

"It's from home, and I didn't borrow it. I found a craftsman to build a new one." Zhao Ji was already feeling a little tired at this time. Starting from the legs, he could feel the impact of the previous repairs on his body. How much is consumed. When he thought of this, he quickly picked up the food and drinks on the table and started eating.

After eating a lot of food, his stomach was full, and Zhao Ji felt much better.

"Okay, I will ask Nia for your armor tomorrow, as long as you stay in the village tomorrow and don't go out."

Zhao Ji burped and rubbed the place where the wound had grown on his calf: "I don't have any strength in my body, and I don't even have the strength to go out." After speaking, Zhao Ji yawned. All feel tired.

"Then you hurry back to the hotel to wash up, and then sleep well. Our warrior." Old Duo Mu patted Zhao Ji's arm, and said the last sentence in a sincere tone.

Zhao Ji touched the word 'warrior' and smiled.

----------

At noon the next day, Zhao Ji, who had slept for a long time, finally got up from the comfortable wooden bed. After his left leg was healed yesterday by a divine technique, Zhao Ji was finally able to get rid of the painful time of the past few days when every step he took was painful.

The set of clothes he is wearing now is a set of clothes that Lao Duomu gave him after taking a bath yesterday. This set of clothes The hotel owner conveyed to Old Domo that this set of clothes was the combat uniform he wore when he was young. Speaking of combat uniforms, Zhao Ji felt that they were just thicker than the clothes worn by ordinary people, and some places were reinforced with animal leather.

Zhao Ji didn't dislike it being other people's old clothes. This set of clothes was very neat when it was delivered. It seems that old Duo Mu cherishes this set of combat clothes he wore when he was young. Zhao Ji thinks that he may miss his youthful experience more.

The set of expensive clothes he was wearing was scratched several times by wild wolves, and the legs of the matching trousers were wrung open by Nia herders during the treatment. Zhao Ji had to go back to Kendall City to find a clothing maker to repair it. In a village like Dorallin Village, there is no tailor who can make this kind of clothes. The clothes of the villagers in the village are all stitched by their own women.

Walking out of the hotel, Zhao Ji went directly to the security station, firstly to look for something to eat, and secondly to see if Lao Duomu had completed what he promised yesterday. He is very eager for his armor now. As long as he has armor, those goblin weapons can basically do no harm to him, and it is difficult for wild beasts to use their minions to hurt Zhao Ji to that extent again.

There was nothing to eat at the security station at noon, but the chef at the security station was willing to prepare a sumptuous lunch for the Kiel warrior, which was something the chef could do as a member of the village.

Zhao Ji heard the cook said that he would cook him a sumptuous lunch as a reward, so he sneaked a look around the kitchen, and found that the cook at the public security station had cut a large piece of cured ham that was hanging on the high place in the kitchen, and it was even worse. A young rooster raised in the backyard of the police station was slaughtered.

This made Zhao Ji quite satisfied. This chef is a good man, and he, Zhao Ji, is also a good man. Good people get rewarded, hehe.

Zhao Ji sat in the dining room of the public security station and waited. Old Duomu was not there now. He heard from the sentinel who was practicing wooden spears in the yard that Lao Duomu had indeed come back with a big wooden box in the morning. Now he went out of the village to inspect Every sentry tower.

Hearing that Lao Duomu had asked for the armor from Nia Mushou, Zhao Ji was relieved and concentrated on waiting for the sumptuous lunch. A sentry listened to old Duomu's report yesterday about the events of the Kiel warriors going out to hunt goblins a few days ago. The details of the battle.

Zhao Ji got excited when he heard this, and said with a smile that whoever can serve him a big glass of beer, he would tell the details of the time in detail. The sentries wanted to hear this talk, and all the sentries who were practicing in the yard ran out to buy beer in the tavern.

Soon, when four or five mugs of beer were placed in front of Zhao Ji, Zhao Ji happily took a sip of each mug, hiccupped in satisfaction, and began to talk from the dusk of the battle that day.

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

"I judged that there were so many goblins that I couldn't just rush up and deal with them, so I calculated the time and found that it was just dark that day." Speaking of this, Zhao Ji took a sip of beer.

"What's the matter, what did you figure out?" A sentinel asked.

Zhao Ji smiled: "I figured out that there was no moon after it got dark that day. Everyone knows that the hills in the wilderness are different from the flat land in the village. As long as the sun in the sky falls on the ground line, the darkness will be very dark." Quickly cover the integration wilderness, unless the moon rises. But there are three moons, and they are always hanging at night, right? But I figured it out. At that time, there was a period of time between after dark and before the first moon rose. Not a small amount of time."

"That's right, two days ago, it was indeed very dark after dark. I was surprised at that time. The moon didn't come out until after a while." A sentinel answered.

Zhao Ji pointed to the sentinel: "That's right, it was that day. I quickly adapted to the darkness after dark, then opened my eyes wide, lowered the noise caused by my movements, and quietly approached the slow-moving brother Team Breen. Do you know why I did this?"

All the sentries shook their heads, and at this moment, the cook from the public security station came out of the kitchen, and he came to Zhao Ji with a large portion of meaty dishes.

"This is a special lunch I specially prepared for our little warrior. Fry a thin bacon omelet, try it quickly." After speaking, the chef put this large wooden plate with a large aroma in front of Zhao Ji.

On the big wooden plate, a different table knife was thoughtfully prepared. Zhao Ji picked up the wooden spoon and table knife and began to eat.

The thin bacon is fried just right on the pan. This kind of bacon is thick in fat. You don’t need to add any fat when frying. Just put them neatly in the frying pan and master the stove When the heat is high, you can fry delicious delicacies overflowing with fragrance. Not to mention that the chef also rolled up the fried thin bacon with egg wash and wrapped it completely. The golden color looks very appetizing.

Zhao Ji pressed it whole with a wooden spoon, and then cut off a large piece with a table knife. Because it is specially cut thin, the whole bacon can be used directly in the mouth, without the need for additional bread.

After chewing and swallowing, take a sip of beer at Meimei, the smile on Zhao Ji’s face is the chef’s greatest compliment. Seeing a gluttonous sentry sitting next to Keel wanting to sneak a taste, the chef tapped the sentry's hand with the wooden shovel in his hand, warning the sentry with his eyes.

Zhao Ji put the whole piece of bacon into his mouth with a smile, and after eating it, he continued to talk about the topic just now to the sentinels sitting around.

Seeing that the Kiel warrior was satisfied, the chef returned to the kitchen to start the next dish.

"I just said why I widened my eyes, and then approached the goblins quietly, right?" Zhao Ji said.

The Sentinels turned their attention from the meaty dishes to the talking points.

"Actually, I discovered one thing at the time. Our human eyesight is actually better than that of goblins. In the very dark night, I can see some things clearly, while goblins can only see clearly. There are other goblins that are very close around them. They can't see clearly from a little further away." Zhao Ji pointed to his own eyes, and then pointed to the eyes of other sentries.

The sentinels looked at each other. For the first time, they knew that humans had better eyesight in the dark than goblins.

"Secondly, have you all seen the dead goblin?" Zhao Ji pointed to the mummy of the goblin in the cage in the center of the square.

"Of course, the goblins that were occasionally killed by us are locked inside, and everyone is watching carefully."

"So, do you know? Whether it's animals, humans, or monsters like goblins, the longer the ears, the better the hearing." Zhao Ji gestured to his ears with a spoon.

The sentries touched their ears, only then did they realize that the ears of humans are much shorter than those of goblins. They were completely unaware of this before.

"Is it true? We didn't question Keel's meaning of lying, but does hearing have something to do with ears?" A sentinel asked.

Zhao Ji ate another dish, gulped down the beer, and then slowly replied: "Think about the rabbits in the ground, are they very sensitive in hearing, as long as there is a sound, they will go into their rabbit holes." He Originally, he wanted to use his white rabbit fur hat as a demonstration, but he left the hat in the hotel room, so he had to explain it to them.

Some sentries who had seen or hunted rabbits in the field suddenly realized, but some sentries who had not hunted rabbits or raised rabbits could only scratch their heads in doubt and look at other companions who suddenly realized.
