Warhammer Throne

Chapter 27: , Abandoned village

Crowds of mercenaries guard the horse convoy in the middle. A few hundred meters in front of the horse convoy, there are a few light horses walking in front. They are wanderers who specialize in path finding. In addition, Bilger is ahead of schedule. Arrived here in more than an hour, unless he encounters a large group of enemies, otherwise he will always find his way in front and leave a mark for the caravan behind.

When Ryan first came to this world, he used to think that the wanderers were all ninja-like guys, killing the enemy invisible, usually hiding in the dark forever, and coming out at the critical moment to give the enemy a fatal blow, and the dragon is gone. tail.

Well~ there are indeed rogues of that kind, but those rogues have advanced from rogues to shadow killers or even higher levels. In fact, ordinary rogues are not much different from warriors. They are just as exposed. In the enemy's sight, they use simple weapons such as crossbows, rapiers, saps, short bows, and short swords to fight, but they seldom use frontal rigidity, but use more attacks and evasion methods.

The rogues in the adventure squad are more of detecting traps, detecting the enemy, unlocking and making props, and preparing for the killer blow. They really want to go to the battlefield. The survival rate of these rogues is higher than that of the fighters. Low, they are too fragile.

And due to professional characteristics, rogues are the easiest profession to dispute with their companions when sharing money and taking the spoils. They often have the first chance to get in touch with the spoils and take the opportunity to hide part of it. Then because of their work Extreme danger and necessity (such as being unable to move on without unlocking, or encountering a trap), rogues always like to sit on the ground and raise prices, using their eloquence and bluffing ability to always emphasize how important they are in the team. What would happen without them, the core of which is to share one more thing (even if you have already hid another one).

Although Ryan doesn't like them very much, he has already passed the age of impulsiveness (psychological age), and he still admits that sometimes the power of these wanderers is essential.

"The most terrifying thing is not the enemy who shows up his weapon and is fighting you head-on, but the friend who has a dagger hidden behind his back when shaking hands with you."

-"Savior" Emperor Ludwig.

"We are almost here!" Oliver, the imperial merchant, took out a roll of maps from the carriage of the carriage: "This is one of the rest spots."

"Take a break?"

"Well, this is a map produced by Marienburg. It contains detailed records of mountains, rivers, towns and major trade routes on the mainland. Merchants who have been to Marienburg for many years can get this map as a price. , We will also report the new road conditions and situations we have to Marienburg.” Oliver showed the map in front of a few people. As the imperial merchant said, the map was densely marked with major towns and roads, as well as the field. Of possible resting places.

When the torch was lit, Ryan noticed that some trade routes were green, some trade routes were yellow and red, and the rest place was also the same.

"Green represents safety, yellow represents possible small threats, and red... represents business opportunities and opportunities to make a fortune." Oliver reached out and touched his beard. The rest point for the overnight stay was yellow.

"Danger always coexists with opportunity. Didn't the first human to land on the hollow island also make a fortune? Hahahaha~ If it weren't for danger, how could we come to Nord for so many goods?" Ma Ci also laughed loudly.

If you are not willing to take risks, how can you make money?

An investment with both low risk and high return is a scam, unless Ryan is strong enough to participate in the game of the gods.

The convoy continued to move forward. After it got dark, the guards and mercenaries fired torches. At about 4:30 in the afternoon, the convoy finally came to the resting point that Esterel said.

Amidst the heavy snow and hazy fog, the dilapidated village was shown in front of everyone. This village is very small, with about a dozen houses, most of which have leaky roofs. The walls of the village are made of round logs as the skeleton, and the lower part is used. The mud and bricks were built up to a height of less than three meters. The gate of the village has been destroyed. From the outside it seems that it was forcibly broken open by violence. In addition, there are also many places where the wall has been damaged, the most serious of which It can accommodate at least two horse-drawn carriages. The forest is not far from the village, only about two hundred meters away. If you want to climb the mountain road of Hordaland Mountain, you must pass through this forest.

"The place is here, brothers of Nord, get out of the car and unload the goods. Fak, you take a few people and cut some wood nearby to block the gap. Mather, you take three people to the nearby river. Take a few buckets of water inside." Roster commanded immediately.

"Arrange a few people to watch, Ester, and the gentlemen, come with me." Ryan waved, motioning for the half-elves and the wandering knights to follow.

"I'll go together too." A long leg wearing black high-top leather boots got off the carriage, Teresa changed into a black combat leather jacket, a white fox fur coat on her shoulders, and a staff. Walked among the crowd.

The sorceress flashed her long black hair with shimmering light to her waist, her beautiful face was still so bright in the dark, her sapphire earrings shimmered, and the violet crystal on her staff illuminates the road ahead.

The men present were stunned, only Ryan could be sure that Teresa had recovered about 50% of her strength.

"Go!" Not much to say, the women of the Garland Council are never vases. Ryan and a group of people cautiously arrived at the gate of the village, Estelle knelt on one knee, checking his footprints.

The densely packed footprints show that there have been many signs of entering and exiting this rest spot in the recent period.

"This footprint should be Bilge." The racial talent of the elves is dark vision. The half-elves cannot see as far as the elves, and it is more than enough to observe close distances, and there are also the magic wands to light up the road.

"What about these messy footprints?" Ryan also knelt down, recognizing the footprints on the snow, which were smaller and more messy.

"These should be goblins." Combining the known information, Ester made the following judgment.

"Does the Pathfinder leave any message?" Wandering knight Ike said casually, but his eyes kept rolling on the female warlock's long legs and chest.

Women are very sensitive to men’s gaze, Teresa felt it right away. She tightened her jacket tightly in disgust, and turned slightly to avoid Ike’s sight: "Then you mean... there will be goblins. Hiding in the village?"

"It's okay, if there are those goblins, let me chop them all into two pieces for you! My lady, I will dedicate all the goblin ears to you!" Ike laughed loudly, he He drew out his long sword and danced the sword flower, as if performing a graceful dance.

"Yeah, yeah! My sword is already hungry and thirsty!"

"My long sword is too."

"We are willing to dedicate our victory to you, Ms. Trovik!"

Several wandering knights roared.

"That's daring, just ask a few to check those houses! I'll go and see the middle one." Ryan thought to himself that these rogue knights all know how to flatter female warlocks.

The opportunity for performance is still to be given, so Ryan assigned a task. Who knows that Ike did not let him off: "If I heroically destroy the enemy, will Lord Knight buy me a glass of Bagman beer?"

"You are afraid that you are living in a dream, I can only ask you to drink horse urine." Bagman beer is the most famous beer on the mainland. It is a masterpiece of dwarves. It is brewed with malt and is the best and most refreshing in the entire continent. Alcoholic beverages are not only nutritious, but can even be used as dry food. A few glasses of Bagman beer can ensure that you are not hungry for a day.

The crystallization of this dwarf brewing technique is of course expensive. Unless Ike is willing to use his savings, he must not be able to drink it. Ryan thought that this product was really too much.

So several people split up, and Ryan held the warhammer in front of his chest and walked towards the big house in the middle of the village, where the village chief or lord usually lived, and the place most likely to hide dirt.

The steps were covered with snow, and Lion's leather boots creaked on the wooden steps.

"Squeaky~" The door of the house was not locked or chained. Ryan stretched out his hand and gently pushed the door open. The thick wooden door made a rotten turning sound, and his hands could not be seen inside.

"Lighting technique!" Teresa also followed. The sorcerer raised her hand with a zero-level magic light technique, and the interior of the house was illuminated.

It was messy, this was Ryan's first impression. If he were to be more specific, it would be that the house was almost completely wiped out by a robber and gnawed by a dog.

Yes, it's like being chewed by a dog. The whole house is full of signs of damage. The deserted village will attract adventurers and travelers to pass by and hunt for treasure. There is nothing wrong with it, but it is unwritten to leave an environment for latecomers to stay overnight. Common sense, so those holes in the wall will definitely not be the masterpieces of adventurers and mercenaries.

Except for the leftover wood in the corner, Ryan didn't even find any furniture. The floor in the house was flat, but the walls were damaged and leaked. If the mercenaries were to reinforce them with wooden boards, the night would be gone.

"Wait... Ryan, what is this?" The sorcerer made a new discovery inside.

"Huh?" Ryan walked closer and found that the sorcerer had found a few "mushrooms" in a corner of the inside.

To say that this thing is a mushroom is actually quite reluctant. This thing has a blood-red skin, yellow and green spots, which looks disgusting. What's even more disgusting is that there is a vaguely long picture on the surface of this thing. The face of a man is a beast, with slender eyes, showing a wild smile.

"Oh my God! What are these!" After seeing what this thing looks like up close, Teresa felt very uncomfortable. The female warlock subconsciously stepped back two steps, and finally felt her high-heeled boots. Something seems to have been stepped on.

Looking back, the same mushroom had been stepped on by her heel. The dirty yellow mushroom juice splashed on her high-heeled boots, and the smell of vomit filled the house.

"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu! What is the thing what is this thing!"

Ryan stretched out his arm to hold Teresa's slender waist, and it felt good: "This is a blood-shade mushroom."

"Bloodshade Mushroom?" The Sorceress took out the towel from the space ring, but the disgusting mushroom juice was difficult to clean, and it gave off an unpleasant smell. She couldn't help but wailed: "My shoes!"

Ryan let go of the woman's waist. He reached out and used brute force to directly uproot the entire mushroom. Amidst Teresa's "throw it away" complaint, he directly threw it out of the hole in the wall: "This is a goblin masterpiece, but are you interested in knowing how this thing came into being?"

"How did it form?" The female warlock was still wiping the surface of her boots with a towel: "Enough, don't stay in this room, let's talk in another place!"

"As you wish, and, let me come!" Ryan stretched out his right hand, the light blue energy flipped in his hand, the water vapor in the air formed a water ball, and the pure water ball swept across the surface of the leather boot. , Finally washed away the dirty mushroom juice, the sorcerer sighed with relief when she saw it, and hurriedly pulled Ryan out of the inner room, and then waved a spell. The waste wood in the corner flew directly over, and the inner room The door was sealed: "That's it!"

By the time the two came out, several wandering knights had checked several houses, and they also found some blood-stained mushrooms. Ike brought up one of the biggest ones: "Dear Ms. Trovik, I miss my I can dedicate it to you... well, I'm just kidding, don't use the stick to point to my face!"

"Hahahahahahahahahahahaha!" The mercenaries and guards burst into laughter. Many people were repairing the broken walls. They used felled trees and planks to reinforce the deficiencies, and some soldiers were already cooking fires. Rice.

"Where's that druid?" Ryan wanted to cut down the tree like this, but the druid didn't actually explode in place? very strange!

"The druid didn't stay, and went straight into the forest... Mather! Don't be in a daze there! The water is not enough for so many of us to drink. You take someone to play a few more barrels!" Rost walked up. The black-robed man seemed to enjoy this cold and dynamic environment, and then he shouted: "Brothers, speed up, if you don't want to sleep in the open at night!"

"No one wants to sleep in the open air, boys, hurry up!" Wilt replied with a smile, and the mercenaries pulled up the tent cloth to cover the leaky roof.

"Well, Ms. Trovik, do you want to take a bath at night? If necessary, let's get some more water despite the order." Oliver's chubby body appeared in front of the female warlock swayingly, full of flattery He said: "Just let them run one more trip, it won't get in the way, the water source is not far from here."

"No, just arrange a separate room for me, and there is." The female warlock pointed at Ryan: "Arrange me and him together."

"Yes, yes, we understand." Oliver gave Ryan an ambiguous look.

Ryan pretended not to see it. The kingdom knight wanted to continue the topic about the blood-shadow mushroom, but the half-elf Ester appeared: "Mr. Ryan? There is something here, can you come and have a look?"

"OK."
