Mercenaries and Adventurers

"Sir Knight, the Monta Valley City that this lying guy said is not what he said! I was shamelessly possessed by him, without a decent engagement or wedding, so I had to follow him everywhere to look for opportunities to gain wealth. One day On the way, he always came back with a tired look and different money bags. I was too naive at the time to see that this guy was constantly looking for weak residents to rob them every day. This forced us to constantly change the people who might settle down. place."

"And when I arrived at Monta Valley City, it's a big city. I originally wanted to open a small store here. However, I saved some money that this shameless guy robbed, and I didn't let this guy squander it."

Barney the mountain wolf's face was pale, indicating that he had lost too much blood, but a stubborn sarcasm remained on his face. This fierce guy grinned and did not defend himself against Fenea's words, but there was a strange look in his eyes.

Keir noticed that this guy was murmuring something in a low voice, but it was not loud enough that no one could hear him clearly.

"But we come from a small place after all, a big city, oh, the money is really not enough to spend. I was desperate for this, but this guy sneered and said an idea!"

Keir said flatly: "The idea of ​​dragging the man out of the city and then robbing him? I have to say, this is really a stupid idea."

Mountain Wolf Barney immediately turned his face to the young knight leaning against the big tree. He could tolerate failure, but he could not tolerate being called stupid. After all, if he is so 'successful' and a well-known bandit leader is stupid, then is it possible that the other people he robbed or killed are only as smart as goblins?

On the contrary, businessmen who do business are often smarter than others, at least smarter than most people in society.

"Knight, what do you have to say?" Mountain Wolf Barney said suddenly.

Kil waved his hand: "I have nothing to say, but I think you didn't stay in that city for long, right? After all, this kind of thing can't be done for a long time."

Mountain wolf Barney and Fenea both fell silent, as if they had been stabbed in a sore spot.

After a while, Fenia skipped her experience with Barney, even though she had already thought of an excuse to excuse herself.

"Sir, in short, I finally opened the store here, on the nearby inter-provincial trade road, to provide food, water and accommodation for business travelers coming and going, as well as some entertainment to relieve fatigue."

Mountain Wolf Barney said loudly and mockingly: "You might as well talk about this 'entertainment' project in detail. I think the young people around here would like to hear it."

"Huh, sir, ignore the shameless accusations this guy who talks lies about me, I can rely on my own conscience to say that I have indeed provided indispensable help to the prosperity of the trade route. Not only me, I His subordinates, the chefs and waiters and waitresses in the store, they are all innocent and good people. Perhaps because of me, I was deceived by this guy’s lies and tricked into this devil’s cave by him and his subordinates. But we are Innocent."

Finally, Fenia raised her voice and pointed at Barney, the mountain wolf who was no longer twisting on the ground: "You can see the injuries on our bodies and the proud looks of these guys. These are all clear and can be distinguished. Evidence. My Lord, Lord Knight, please avenge the pain we have suffered, please avenge the innocent people who died in their hands. If you don’t want your hands to be stained red, please give me a dagger, I, I believe I can kill this scum, this villain, this liar, this collection of evil! This dark source of disordered violence."

Fenia stood upright, with a serious face, but her eyes were full of pleading, and she cooperated with the weak sister beside her who was supporting her.

If Kil hadn't known that neither of them were good guys, he would have almost wanted to hand over his long sword and let them kill the villain. At least the young people next to me all looked enthusiastic and said, "We are here to help you."

Before he could speak, Barney, the mountain wolf lying on the ground, shouted with excitement: "Feneya, ah, my love, that's it, that's it, hahahaha, I thought you were Those boring business calculations and the trivial matters of the store where people come and go are gone. How stupid I am, haha, you are still there, you are still there, haha, you are still the same you, I really love you like this Got it!"

Barney the mountain wolf looked surprised and arrogant: "I love the way you lie without blinking an eye. After all, I can't do your most beautiful look no matter what. What kind of troupe chiefs are they compared to you?" The shoes don’t even match.”

"That's enough! Shut up!!! Shut up!"

Fenia screamed loudly and stamped on the floating soil in the open space with her bare feet, but Barney the mountain wolf spoke faster and faster without thinking, as if he was speaking the truth in his heart: "And this, use words to provoke Killing others, this is what I love most about you. As a guy like me, I can either do it myself, or I can only encourage and lead other idiots to kill and rob people. This is not okay, this is not okay, it is not simple at all, and it is not perfect at all. .”

"Only you, only your method is the best, the most perfect crime and evil. Do you know, I have known you for a long time, but only that day, you provoked two locals who were living in peace. When my family was fighting, I realized that I want you, a woman like you, and only a man like me can match her."

"Ahhhhhhh, lies, all lies! This guy is a venomous snake, quickly block the fangs in his mouth, don't let him spray venom anymore!! Please, anyone can do it! Hurry up! Take this venomous snake!!”

Fenea shouted loudly, but as if the two were competing to see who was louder, Barney, the mountain wolf on the ground, whose face had lost blood, turned pale, and shouted crazily and with a flushed face: "Elegance! Concise! Don't do this! Let's do this!" Can I see the most beautiful side of you before I die? All the bad things you and I did together are spilled on me. Come on, say something! Hahahaha, woo woo woo, how about it? Will I have one day too? , are you half as capable as you were when you were young? Tell me, have I gotten rid of the look that you have always looked down upon?"

"Hahahaha, I don't have to use vicious words to make people die. Haha, young knight, have you seen through her true appearance? Fenea, come with me, we will go to hell together, you are alone It must be very lonely in this world, right?”

Fenia was going crazy at this moment. Everything she had said before seemed to have been torn to pieces by Barney the mountain wolf. What was especially terrible was that at this moment, she, Barney the mountain wolf, and even the lives of everyone around them, The reality was at the young knight's fingertips.

Everyone around them looked at Kiel. The thick metal armor made it impossible to see his expression. Before Kiel spoke, no one knew what kind of order he would make after seeing this.

Not only did Barney, the mountain wolf, know that he was about to die, he stared at him closely, his chest kept rising and falling, and his lips smiled, as if he saw the result he expected.

Fenia also held her sister's palm tightly and looked at him with pitiful eyes, not caring that her sister's palm was pricked by her nails.

The five helpless young people also looked at him closely. They swayed several times in response to the words of this bastard couple. The weapons in their hands at this moment were nothing, worse than fire sticks.

Oh, the crazy Will next to him wasn't looking at him. This poor and hateful guy was repeating his last name constantly, as if it was something very important to him.

"Hmph. Why do you want to see what I do?"

Kil shrugged, waved his hand and said, "You guys." He pointed at the helpless young people around him.

"Don't worry about these nonsense. After you have finished listening and taking a rest, you all go to the bandit's cave and slowly take out the cloth, ropes, and supplies you found inside."

Keir also reminded: "By the way, there is a cat inside. Find something to load it up and take it away. Well, after all, the village cannot live without cats, otherwise the food will be destroyed by rats."

The young people responded with a few words. As they crawled into the cave, they kept turning their heads to see how Keir would handle this matter.

After all his men left, Kil said: "Stop talking about those useless things. What bad things did you do when you were young, such as instigating duels to cause family hostility, or robbing and killing some lecherous old men? , I actually don’t care about this.”

Kil spread his hands and palms: "Let's be honest, Barney the mountain wolf, don't think I'm a fool, you know you are dead, but you don't want to die alone, right? Don't deny it. Fenia Madam, you want Barney the mountain wolf to die now, or even be killed by you, right? At the same time, you can leave here safely, this is a clear matter."

The girl who was supporting Fenia was so frightened that she kept shedding tears. She wanted to find a place to huddle up and hide, but her palms were tightly held by Fenia and she couldn't escape. She had to pretend to be deaf and dumb, lowering her head. Shushu shivered like a poor rabbit.

"What do I care? Tonight, I led my people to camp and spend the night, but I was attacked. And after the identification of the captured bandits, they all said that this incident was controlled and instigated by Barney the mountain wolf, you. "

Mountain wolf Barney bared his teeth: "Yes, this would have been a perfect hunt. It was no different from picking up money in the field, but I didn't expect you to be so powerful. Knight, hum, White Wall The king always talks about his family feud, and often brags to us about the young knights he killed. He is an idiot, a fool, and an arrogant man."

Kil raised his chin and patted the glowing magic pendant on his waist: "He still has some skills, although not much."

"So, Mountain Wolf Barney, you are bound to die. Because of you, I have lost at least dozens of young lives. And now, you want to achieve your goal, oh, take this Fenea with you Madam, let’s die together, you know, this has to be a gesture.”

Keir rubbed his fingers.

His words and actions frightened Lady Fenea and her sisters.

But before the lady could speak, Keir continued: "Madam, in fact, your words and performances cannot be said to be very clever. With so much to say, you might as well give some real benefits, such as coins, treasures, land deeds, and loan certificates. Whatever, take out some of these things, let alone let you take revenge, you can bite this bastard that I knocked down to death with your mouth. If you don't want to relieve your anger, hang him on a tree, and the night crawlers around him The birds seem to be used to eating humans, how about letting this guy enjoy the way they treat the weak?"

After listening to all the young knight said, the lady took a deep breath, and then slowly exhaled: "You are not as young as your voice shows."

"This has nothing to do with age, it's just my brain. I'm not stupid, and I don't blindly believe in other people's words. If it's a trustworthy person, it's another matter. But you two, to be honest, I just watched the previous arguments. , Haha, at most it will add some conversation topics at the wine table."

Keir coughed lightly and said in a funny way: "Perhaps the story between you two can win the drinkers a toast to celebrate? They will let me drink as much as possible."

"What do you want?"

Ms. Fenia exhaled and asked cautiously.

But before Kil could speak, Mountain Wolf Barney said loudly: "Young knight, ha, in the center of this small open space, less than one meter deep, there is a box of valuable goods that I have hidden. How about it? Baby, how about you and I walking into the arms of death together tonight?"

As soon as the words fell, Fenia screamed: "You madman, I finally left your devil's cave, and your palm controlled me and I will not leave with you again. Lord Knight, my shop, Although it was burned, I have a hidden sum of money. Take me there and I will take it out for you! Execute this guy quickly, please hurry up, I don’t want to do it myself."

Kil folded his arms and remained silent. Both guys looked at him nervously. Barney the mountain wolf looked a little regretful, and Ms. Fenia nervously clenched her palms repeatedly and then released them. Every time she clenched her palms, The other girl cried out in pain.

"The prices are the same, so it's not enough. Why don't you add something more?"

"Greedy guy! Bah!" Mountain Wolf Barney had seen the small metal box brought out by the young knight before, so he knew that one of his most important weights had failed.

Ms. Fenia unexpectedly glanced at her old friend and said proudly: "You can't get anything out, right? Oh, hehe, Sir Knight, I'm in the town closest to here - the town of Dorne. , and a shop, which I would like to give to you as a gift for rescuing me and my companions.”

"Very good, what Ms. Fenia said now seems more credible." Kil said.

But Mountain Wolf Barney rolled his eyes, and then said: "I also know a place, it's nearby, it's a rock salt mine, really, one of my brothers who was a miner said it. Think about it, get a mineral vein, It’s not a hundred times better than a run-down shop! Your family’s future prosperity can depend on this.”

"Oh, rock salt mine? Tell me more about that."

Kil frowned, but with the protection of his visor, no one else present saw it, especially Barney the mountain wolf.

"It's a cliff with white powder on the rocks. It's nearby. It's very safe. I chose this place as my base because I liked the place where I can eat salt."

Ms. Fenia looked suspicious, and then she seemed to believe the words of Mountain Wolf Barney. She stared at her old friend on the ground and cursed: "You are hiding well. Why don't you lead people to develop there? Why are you still doing banditry?" After mining us, do we still need to do these things?”

Barney the mountain wolf dismissed it: "Stupid woman, it's not the first day you've known me. Am I the kind of peaceful man? Mining? That's what weak guys do. Real men always rob." Live!"

"Haha, what the hell are you talking about? Robbery to make a living? If it was really possible to open a mine, I'm afraid you would have done it long ago, right? Don't pretend to be rude and heroic, what kind of rock salt mine, Mountain Wolf Barney, you Is there really truth in his mouth?"

"Um?"

Ms. Fenia suddenly realized something, and Barney the mountain wolf still insisted on speaking his mind, but this persistence was revealed in the next moment.

"Don't forget, you're not the only one who knows about your bandit gang! Before you, I captured some of you. Salt mine? You really dare to say that, it's just licked by herbivores in the forest. It’s just a small piece of salt rock wall. Now I doubt whether what you said before is the truth. Why don’t we see it on the spot?”

After Kil finished speaking, he walked directly to the middle of the open space, moved away the rising lighting fire, and directly picked up the two-handed wood ax that the bandit next to him had planned to use to attack him. He used the wide ax face of this thing to use it as a shovel and began to dig downwards. .

Kil's movements were fast and his strength was great, especially the presence of the god of agriculture in his body, which allowed him to dig with half the effort. However, within a short while, within the time it took the young man searching the cave to come out twice, Kil had dug a deep pit. .

Dong Dong, the ax head hit the top of the buried box, "There is really something, but what it is, I have to open it and see."

Keir then dug out a square box, carried it back to the clearing with one hand, dumped the contents on the ground, and then prepared to open it.

But before taking action, Kil thought of something. He glanced at Barney the mountain wolf's face secretly, and found that it was not a face that was nervous about whether he would be satisfied with what was inside, but a face that seemed calm but tried his best to hide his joy. expression.

What is he happy about?

Kil rolled his eyes and guessed what the other person was thinking.

"Barney the Mountain Wolf, I changed my mind again."

When Kil said this, the other party's face changed drastically, as if he knew that he had made a mistake, so he roared with a ferocious face: "Open it! Quick! Open it! I let you open it! Open it and you can get the wealth inside. ! Treasure! Hurry!"

Frowning, Kil strode over and stamped his foot. The metal boots directly broke his other leg at the knee.

There was a crunching sound, and the opponent's knee turned into a puddle of minced meat.

"It seems that the end of the tug-of-war between you two old lovers has come to an end. Ms. Fenia, please find a place to sit down and rest with that girl. This guy seems to be useless. Humph, in his mouth A sinister guy who never tells the truth."

He grabbed the mountain wolf Barney's neck from the ground with one hand. Kil carried him and walked behind the tree trunk next to him. As he walked, the young knight's voice sounded: "There is a sinister trap area outside this lair. There is something hidden under the wooden chair in the cave." The coin box from the murder agency, and now, the wooden box dug out of the vacant lot.”

"If I'm not wrong, it's probably a set of murder traps inside that take away the lives of people nearby, right? Whoever fires it will die? And the people around him too? You're an insidious guy."

The knight responded with murmuring words.

Afterwards, the two men asked a few questions in a low voice, and a sound was heard. When the knight came back, he was carrying a corpse.

At this time, Ms. Fenia finally let out a breath of air that was in her heart.

"I hope there is some truth in what you said, especially about property and gifts." Keir warned.

"Please rest assured, Lord Knight, I am different from this guy who talks lies. A businessman who runs a shop relies on the sincerity and reliability of his words."

"Is it."

Keir didn't believe it.
