Mercenaries and Adventurers

Kiel led the crowd forward, only to find out just a few days after he left here, in this small area, those animals looking for food in the wilderness, how far they can go for a bite.

The large pool of wild boar viscera that had been frozen on the ground disappeared, leaving only the fresh bones of many animals, large and small, apparently the remains of some losers who scrambled for viscera and left behind in the world. .

It seems that for some predators, fresh meat is more desirable than eating leftovers.

But at this time, even the predators of the final winners have left here, only some scavenged crows will peck at the tiny shreds of meat remaining on the bones.

When Kiel came, they either took to the sky and joined the flight, or flapped their wings and flew away.

Those who have a bad temper will open their mouths and curse when they leave.

Keir didn't care about that, and after finding a place, he called the fishermen to start working together.

He dug open the mound of soil on the ground, and then dug down, and soon shoveled a layer of crushed ice that had already been buried in the soil. Keel pushed aside the crushed ice he had made himself, revealing the boar's body hidden underneath.

"rope!"

Wick tossed the rope to Keel, who threaded the rope through part of the boar's torso and tied a slipknot.

After shaking it to make sure it was firm, Keel turned over and crawled out of the pit.

"Get ready, pull!" as Kiel yelled, eight fishermen stood in a row and pulled back the rope in their hands.

At first, they didn't pull it, but as Kiel shouted again, the fishermen pulled it, and the torso of wild boar, which was tens of kilograms underneath, was pulled out of the pit at once.

It was a huge pig pelvis, with a thick layer of fat on the tip of the buttocks.

Keel then undoes the slipknot and goes down to get another one.

After working for a while, they finally took all the remaining wild boar carcasses out of the pit.

Looking at the manpower at this time, Keir and Wick realized that they had fewer people.

If according to the previous calculation, two people are carrying a body part of a wild boar tens of kilograms, then there will be insufficient manpower. No way, Keir had to think of a new way on the spot.

Cut some wood in the nearby woods, and simply tie the cut wood with ropes into a simple skateboard or snowmobile that can be dragged by a single person.

In this way, one person can take part of the boar's body with him.

After discussing for a while, Keel asked everyone to set up a fire on the spot first, while he himself rode his horse to chop down trees.

-

There was a forest not far away, so Keel rode on his horse and ran over to pick out a few suitable trees. He didn't care about the crow's nest on the tree, and directly hunted and chopped them down with his long sword.

This move really made the crows above his head scream angrily, but there was nothing they could do, they could only be helpless and furious.

Kiel ignored the crows on his head at all, swiped his sword to chop off the excess branches of the tree, and then connected the trunk with the saddle with a rope.

"Da!" With a slap on the horse's butt, his horse obediently pulled the rope and dragged the tree trunk out of the woods.

After running a few steps and getting on the horse, Keel slowly let the horse drag the tree trunk back to the river bank.

At this time, the fishermen had already lit up the fire, but several people gathered on the ice of the small river, talking around a smashed river.

Kiel, who came back, handed over the horses and trees to other people, and walked to the river curiously to see what these people were looking at.

"Hey, what are you doing together?"

Wick was also here. He pulled Kiel over, pointed at the broken ice and said, "Come and see, the traces on the ice seem to be the legendary water spirit!"

"Water essence? What?"

He looked down, but didn't see anything else from the cracked ice.

This is the pit where the giant wild boar had knocked it out, and he still used some ice from it afterward.

No matter how you look at it, it looks very ordinary?

"Look carefully at the bottom, don't look at the cracks on the surface, look at the bottom. Isn't the cracked bottom unnatural? It looks more like a fish than the cracks in the ice?"

While Wick was talking, he asked others to push away the shattered ice on the surface, and let Keel look at the cracks below.

Sure enough, as Wick said, the places that Keel hadn't noticed before, those cracks, did strangely look like fish.

"Is this water essence?"

"No, no, no, of course it's not a water essence, it's just a trace of the water essence's activities."

"In the mouths of those of us fishermen who often deal with water, it is easy to come across this kind of thing occasionally in places where there is no one. Among the fish caught, occasionally there will be a water essence that is completely polymerized by water, or it may be made of water. Hanging from a pole. It's a rare thing, but once in a while a fisherman comes across it once or twice in his life."

Kiel's eyes lit up: "Is that thing edible? Is it delicious? How to eat it?"

The fishermen around laughed: "I can't eat it, it's all water. It wants you to catch it, so you can catch it. If you don't want to, pop it, and it will turn into water and disappear."

Wick said with a smile: "It can be seen in the water, and it can also be seen in the ice, but if the water spirits run freely in the ice, no one can catch them, right? But occasionally you will find evidence of their existence, you Look, that special crack is the evidence left by the water spirit wandering here."

He then shook his head: "However, when the ice melts in spring next year, this will be gone."

It seems that it is just a curiosity, and has no other effect.

After the fishermen and Keel had finished watching, they continued to work. Kiel went to find wood, and the fishermen were all-rounders, and it was still possible to simply use the knives they carried with them to deal with the wood.

In the evening of that day, they finally prepared all these things, so they split the remaining wood into wooden sticks, and skewered the hares and wild dogs that came along the road, and roasted them on the wooden sticks.

Keel brought a little salt, wiped the surface of the meat, and it was ready to be roasted.

But he was a little uneasy. It was one thing for the crows to be stalking him not far away. What was more important was whether Worf the werewolf would come to attack him as he expected.

For this, Keir is only 50% sure.

If the other party had a bigger heart and didn't go to the mill to take a look after seeing off the caravan, but lived in the village honestly, then he had to find another way.

And if the other party is really as cautious as Kiel expected, calculating the possible speed of the other party, it should come over around daytime.

-

Of course the werewolf Worf had already come. In the afternoon of the day, he had already followed the scents of the people and the traces left by walking through the wilderness.

But what troubled him was that those fishermen and Kiel had been gathering together by the river to do something. Not only that, there were also a large number of crows circling tens of meters above Kiel's head.

The condescending crows spotted the werewolf from a long distance away, which prevented the werewolf from getting too close.

Although he was very confident in his werewolf strength, that young man was, after all, the warrior who confronted and defeated the wolf king with Knight Lanisa in the end.

Not to be underestimated.

In this way, if the crow finds the warning in advance and rushes out to attack everyone with big thorns, he may win, but it is still not safe enough.

Wait a minute, he decided to wait until night. No matter how you look at it, those people don't seem to be going straight away.

Soon it was dark.

As Worf expected, the crows dispersed in large numbers before dark, leaving only some of them squatting on the bones on the hillside, staring at Keel.

This made the werewolf wonder for a moment whether the crow was guarding Kiel, or whether Kiel had provoked these narrow-minded, clever birds.

But no matter what, he came to an invisible place behind the hillside, took off all the clothes on his body and rolled them up, and then quickly transformed into a real werewolf in pain.

It is three meters high, with thin muscles but far more powerful than ordinary people. Its knees are turned upside down, showing the reverse shape of a wolf dog, and its hands and feet have strong and sharp claws.

This is the power he brought from his hometown, the crazy blood and curse from an ancient god. Compared to the knightly power that is the backbone of society, Rufu-Wolf believes that this is what humans should acquire .

After digging a hole, he put all his clothes into the hole carefully, for fear that the sharp claws on his fingers would scratch his clothes and cloak. After all, it was made of expensive dark forest leopard skin, not for going out to kill. Are reluctant to wear out.

The werewolf has a long body of hair to resist the severe cold, and the power from the blood can also resist the cold. Although he can't obtain outrageous special abilities like the wolf king, he can still do it with a little use of bloodline ability.

For example, speed up the healing of wounds on the body and the regeneration of limbs.

Unlike the wolf king who needs to molt every year to regenerate his limbs, the werewolf Worf can grow back his severed limbs at any time as long as he has enough physical strength.

-

Ga!

The crow, which was originally squatting quietly on the animal's bone, let out a sudden cry.

Kiel opened his closed eyes, and he patted the ashes on his body a little and stood up.

"What's the matter, Kiel?" A sentry fisherman added a piece of wood to the fire, and then asked Kiel who stood up.

Patting his stomach, Keir walked to the side: "Put some water."

"Oh, be careful then."

Keir walked in the direction where he had a premonition of killing intent, and said casually, "Take care of yourselves."

After speaking, he strode into the dark wilderness.

The fisherman didn't take it seriously, but it was a little strange to realize after waiting a while.

But then in the darkness not far away, there was a clear sound of drawing a sword, followed by the panting of wild beasts, the howling of beasts, the scolding of people, the sound of blood gushing, the sound of heavy blows, and the shattering of hard objects the sound of.

Finally, the sudden white light dazzled all the fishermen who heard the sound.

Right before their eyes, there was nothing but panic, a Kiel warrior scolded: "Where to run!" There was also a whistle, which calmed them down a little.

Then there was the sound of horseshoes running, and the sound quickly disappeared.

The fishermen were nervously grabbing each other's partners within reach, and each of them held their own self-defense weapons in their hands. The whiteness in front of them, and they couldn't see anything clearly, which made them extremely scared, especially in this deserted wilderness In the dark.

They didn't feel it when the young man in Kiel was there before, but after the opponent chased away during the battle, these fishermen suddenly felt that this place they had never been before seemed not so safe.

quack.

The cry of crows appeared in the distance accompanied by the sound of flapping wings.

The fishermen were even more disturbed.

Fortunately, after a while, the eyes blinded by the white light recovered, and the crowd crowded with daggers and sticks, leaning against the fire to guard against the dark, empty and cold wilderness outside.

"What's going on?" Wick wasn't an idiot, so he knew that Kiel had fought with a monster that attacked them before, and the fight went further and further.

But he still wanted to ask this question, and he hoped that any of the fishermen under him could give him an answer, even if it was an outrageous answer, it would be better than the current situation of being at a loss.

"No, no, I don't know! The Kiel warrior said before the fight that he was going to pee, but whoever knew it started fighting."

The fishermen on guard spoke in a panic.

"Kill must have discovered something. But something is attacking us and still glowing. It's too scary. If it weren't for Kiel, who would be able to repel the monster's attack after being dazzled."

"That's right, I didn't see it, that young man is really amazing."

Wick calmed down a little: "Did Keel say anything else?"

"No, it's nothing, it means let's take care of ourselves."

?

A big question mark popped over Wick's head.

How do you take care of yourself, with everyone in such a panic.

-

Keir was riding on the back of a saddleless horse, holding the mane on the horse's neck with one hand, and guiding his horse to chase the werewolf Wolf who was fleeing in embarrassment.

In his right hand he gripped a slightly dim longsword to hunt and kill. Although the white light divine power wrapped around the sword is slightly dimmed, it still emits a lighting effect like a torch.

With this in mind, Keel pursued the werewolf closely.

However, the wolf fur cloak on his left shoulder was torn, and the hard cowhide armor underneath was completely torn. Armor can withstand it.

Not only that, there was a lot of blood at the damaged part of the armor, and the sharp claws penetrated into the flesh at least one centimeter deep, tearing off a lot of muscles on his left shoulder. But not much blood flowed, because Kiel also connected part of his mind to the Saturn badge on his chest, trying to let the divine power on the badge help him stop the bleeding and heal the wound.

It didn't heal very well, but at least the bleeding stopped.

Not far away, the werewolf fleeing in embarrassment was blinded by his long sword, which caused the werewolf who came to attack to flee in embarrassment at this moment.

The werewolf Worf's eyes were stinging and white. The good vision of the beast's eyes in the dark brought him an extremely serious blinding effect.

The dilated pupil absorbs excessive light far beyond normal conditions, not to mention that the light also has an inevitable blinding effect.

"Damn! Damn! How is it possible!" He babbled nonsense, unable to believe that he was defeated by a young man less than half his age.

The Lanisa Knight (previous generation) who had changed into the wolf king was all killed by him.

Today it will die like this.

He ran with all his strength in any direction without thinking, just trying to get rid of the warrior who was chasing after him on horseback.

Until this time, he could slightly understand why Kiel was able to participate in the battle against the wolf king.

It turns out that there is such a trick that is difficult to prevent.

"Damn it! Damn it!"

The two chased after each other, and Wolf the werewolf ran away with all his strength, breathing heavily and exhaling the gradually scorching temperature in his body into the air, and Keel couldn't take the opportunity to bandage his shoulders while running.

For him, even though he blinded the werewolf with the special ability of hunting and killing him in the confrontation just now, and used the moment of panic to cause a little damage, Keel still felt that it was not good.

Because the werewolf's physical ability far exceeds that of ordinary people, whether it is a body height of three meters, or an arm of 1.5 meters long and a powerful swing. The melee combat was really an advantage. At that time, the situation was urgent, and he didn't have time to remove the shield hanging from the armor behind him. This also led to the one-for-one melee combat. Injury, while Keir's left shoulder was seriously injured.

"We must take him down before the opponent's eyes reply!" Keel told himself fiercely, chasing after him.

But soon, the situation became unfavorable to Kiel. Although the werewolf was running in a random direction, he was actually subconsciously advancing along the frozen river.

The river faces south and flows into a forest in the south of Umi Lake Village and north of Dolarin Village.

As soon as the werewolf smelled that he had come to the forest, he was overjoyed and rushed straight into the forest in a panic. After knocking over several small trees and bushes one after another, the other party dodged into the forest.

Keir rode his horse to the edge of the forest, got off his horse, and before he could heal and bandage himself, he immediately took off the shield behind his left shoulder, held it in his left hand, and chased after the traces of the werewolf all the way.

His horse also obediently followed the light from Kiel's long sword. Wherever Kiel went, it followed him, so there was no need to worry about the horse getting lost.

-

Kiel has never been in this forest, but Wumi Lake Village can build a logging camp here, obviously there are no particularly dangerous beasts in this forest.

Now maybe, the most dangerous people in this forest are the werewolf Worf and him, the human being.

Kiel strode away to follow the traces, and soon found the werewolf swallowing ice and snow and covering his whole body with ice and snow under a big tree surrounded by ten people.

"What's the matter?" Keel didn't understand at first glance, but then realized that it was the result of the werewolf running all the way and getting fever all over his body.

The thick fur has excellent thermal insulation ability, but if there are no sweat glands, it is not a wonderful thing.

Northern land wolves can also use the snow on the ground to cool down, but werewolves running upright can't.

"It seems that you can't run anymore? Worf." Kiel strode over, the sword and shield in his hand ready to fight.

"Wolf? Ho, ho, how do you know me?" The wolf chewed the snow on the forest floor, and spoke vaguely in his mouth.

The opponent's wolf eyes were tightly closed, but his two ears were facing Kiel directly. Obviously, in terms of perception, the werewolf's excellent ability can temporarily replace part of the consequences of being blinded.

Keir thought in his heart that it would be great if he had the ability to make a loud noise, and answered the other party's question: "Today is your death date, let you die to understand."

After a pause, he pointed his long sword at the werewolf: "Knight Lanisa already knew that you were the werewolf who appeared during the battle against the wolf king in the forest."

"Hey hey hey~www.readwn.com~hahahahaha, yes, then does she know who is the wolf king she killed with her own hands?" The voice from the wolf's mouth was filled with excitement, And gloat.

Kiel raised the shield with his left hand, and gradually approached the opponent: "Maybe you know, the wolf king finally turned into a human form. But it doesn't matter, you are going to die here today, because Knight Lanisa has offered you a good reward. "

"Fart! You know so clearly, Keel, aren't you afraid that you will die if you find out the news? She can give you a price to kill me, and she can also give another person a price to kill you! Don't you? Think about it Think, if you kill me, you may not survive!"

Keir naturally knew about this, but he didn't need to tell this man-eating guy about his relationship with Knight Crowe.

Didn't hear Kiel's words, Wolf the Werewolf became even more excited: "So, so the two of us have to unite, you know, our positions are the same, you make up a lie, fool that stupid woman, find a chance, we The two killed her together, perfect! I will continue to live in Umi Lake Village, and you live your adventurous life."

"Adventurous life? Oh, did you hear people describe me like that? Hehe, do you know what I did in my little adventurous life?"

Keir's words made Worf the werewolf feel bad, so he didn't continue to answer.

But Keir whistled twice to let the horses following him leave for a while, and then said: "My adventurous life has been destroying man-eating monsters like you."

"Kneel down obediently, let me kill you with one sword, and everyone will be at ease."

The werewolf panted heavily, with a hideous expression on his face: "Don't even think about it!!"

Then he made a move that Keir never expected.
