Chapter 48 The Strange Old Man
"Vice-captain, there seems to be a resting place ahead."
The deputy captain, Noser, who was riding a mountain ox, moved to the outer road of the Gathering God Forest that anyone would be afraid of.
The chimney made of square stone bricks on the roof emits a slight white smoke, so it can be determined that there are people living in it rather than a ruin.
"Weird."
The shape of the house is not the simple and comfortable plain style adopted by the Kingdom of Swords, nor is it the square design format like the Magic Kingdom, but a weird house with neither.
Judging from the outer wall, one round thick wooden root after another is piled up, tightly tied with thick ropes, and then surrounded and stacked to form a wooden house. The simple room made in this way is two stories high. The height and the size can accommodate at least six people.
The primitive and ancient method has the ability to create a house with a large space on the second floor. It is impossible for one person to successfully manufacture it. In addition to the location of the house, he squinted his eyes and lightly touched the giant sword on his back with his right hand.
"Quickly leave."
"Yes!"
With a clear order and the same inexplicable timidity in his heart, Noser immediately shook the thick wool rope in his hand to control the alpine cow. The speed of the original smooth movement became faster, and his body swayed up and down because of this speed.
moo.
moo.
Just as the two alpine cows passed the gate quickly and wanted to leave, the limbs that were moving quickly stopped, and the two cows came to a complete stillness as if they were stuck to the ground.
"Damn it, move!"
Seeing the sudden appearance of abnormal behavior, especially when it happened to be right in front of the gate of this weird house, Noser waved the thick hair rope on his hands continuously. Riding on the master's movements, the limbs stayed firmly on the ground, and the gaze shifted to the direction of the gate of the house.
"Bavenoser, stand by."
The two alpine cows suddenly stopped in front of this room. There must be something in the room that attracted the alpine cows, something that even the owner of the mount didn't intend to ignore the instructions at all.
In order to be able to get back on the road and avoid wasting extra time, it is natural to solve the source of the immediate problem.
"Vice-captain, do you really want to go in?"
"Standby."
He didn't want to engage in more verbal debates, especially in the situation where he had to fight for every minute and every second, the deputy captain felt that it was unnecessary to say one more word.
Ignoring the worried expression on Noser's face beside him, he quickly walked to the gate and tapped on the wooden door lightly.
Click, click.
"Have guests? Come in quickly."
After just one second, an old but vigorous voice full of vigor like a young man came from the house.
Following the intention of the owner inside, he turned the round handle suddenly, opened the wooden door and entered into a space that was obviously much warmer than the outside.
The picture under the eye is the expected wooden wall, the roof and the only small brick stove in the corner.
In the center of this space, there is a large piece of dark brown fur-colored carpet. The color tends to be dull. In addition, there is only the faint light of the flame in the stove, so it is impossible to judge how expensive this carpet is.
There are simple wooden steps on the edge leading to the second floor, and the upper end is only a floor made of several layers of flat wooden boards. The size of the space is half smaller than that of the first floor. Various items are placed on the ground, a pile of incomprehensible and weird items.
For example, several animal skulls, human skulls, similar green herbs with different shapes, spiral-shaped branches, etc.
The second floor is obviously a kind of warehouse where various things are piled up, and the first floor is a hall for people to recuperate and rest.
There is a wooden four-legged wooden chair on the large carpet on the first floor of this house. On it sits a woman whose hair is not only gray, but even her eyebrows are old because of the passage of time. I don’t know if it’s because of the lack of light or other reasons. , gray and black with countless black spots, it looks as eerie and terrifying as if mud was wiped on the face to dry it.
At least in Dun's understanding, all the old people I've seen in this life don't have such skin.
"It's been several years since no one dared to bother me. Unexpectedly, the first one turned out to be a kid under thirty."
The words did not have the stammering and whispering of a normal old man, on the contrary there was a powerful response. Judging from the words alone, Dun would probably think that this was a young man.
The weird old man raised his head while talking, and looked directly at Dun with a pair of terrifying eyes that were so dark and so deep that it was doubtful whether people would be sucked in.
Subconsciously, he placed his right hand on the hilt of the sword.
Seeing this tense look, the old man raised his hard skin that seemed to crack if he squeezed it, and a smile appeared on his dark gray face.
Just paired with this gray and black weird face, and the sitting posture with the upper body hunched to a bent angle, that smile can't make people relax at all, but makes people feel trembling even more.
"I want to ask you something, sir."
"Oh? Seeing my wooden house in the god-gathering forest where no one is there, I believe there are many problems, right? But it's good, I have so little experience talking with such a brat, so any questions will make me very happy, right? Haha. "
"Our team's mounts stopped in front of this room, sir, do you know the reason?"
Those empty and empty eyes of pitch-black eyes slowly moved away from Dun's body, and looked out through the window.
"Your mounts? Mountain cattle from the Magic Kingdom? Hehehe, hahaha! The mounts used by the Kingdom of Swords are actually animals that are only found in the Magic Kingdom, hahahaha!"
Crazy let out an exaggerated laugh, the stiff skin on both sides of the mouth twitched quickly, and his body swayed from side to side because of this agitation. Watching at this moment, you can still find that the corners of the old man's eyes have laughed until tears flowed.
It is impossible to know how the old man knew that Dun and the others were riding alpine cattle, but the sudden loud and obnoxious laughter made Dun immediately feel annoyed, and the original nervousness dissipated a lot , It should even be said that tense alert is an act that appears excessive.
Dun just wanted to punch the old man who had smeared the dirt on his face.
Dun has never seen an old man who loses his dignity and face. There is no basic discipline or etiquette, only a funny attitude that fluctuates quickly with his own emotions.
"Excuse me sir?"
Suppressing his displeasure, he stood quietly where he was, until the old gentleman finally lowered his continuous laughter, and then reminded the gentleman softly again.
"Yes, there is no reason why you alpine cows stay here. It has something to do with the items burning in my stove."
Stretch out the old, stiff and wrinkled fingers, pointing to the stove where the orange flames are burning. If you look carefully inside, you will find that the wood is not swallowed by the fire, but a bunch of ferns and green leaves are all squeezed into balls and balls round ball.
"What kind of plant is that, sir?"
"Yes, after several years, someone finally asked me a question. If I don't answer at this time, God knows how long it will take before I can talk to a little devil? Hahaha! Hmm! Speaking of you, a little boy born in the Kingdom of Swords, This expensive equipment is probably a nobleman, right? Do you know that straw and firewood are burning in the stove?"
"Yes."
The old man's words revealed a provocative tone all the time, but the precise and sharp analysis made Ling Dun obediently respond.
The original vigilance towards the old man was not an illusion. Although his tone was very annoying, his strange vision and incisive analysis made Dun understand the danger of the old man.
Unconsciously set up the vigilance again.
"Relax, what is burning in the stove is one of the plants in the Gathering God Forest. It is non-toxic and easy to burn. It is the best material for heating, but this thing is very suitable for alpine cattle. It is a very calming plant. "
"May I ask if you can temporarily stop the burning, sir?"
"Is this really good? Except for the guard outside, I'm afraid the two wounded inside may not survive the long journey."
Once again, it is easy to guess the situation on Dun's side perfectly. It should be said that it is not a guess, but a strange feeling of seeing through.
"Mister is a magician?"
"Oh? Xiaomaotou's sudden idea is definitely not a whim. Why don't you share with me how you came to this conclusion? Hahaha, it's really exciting."
The corners of the mouth gradually rose to the point of shuddering, and the skin was squeezed a series of times, which really produced a weird sense of cracking. Those empty eyes were more like pits that were about to swallow a meal alive, so dark that there was no end in sight. .
"Only one swordsman can be seen from the angle of the window. The only possibility is to use the magic field to detect the life breath of other people."
According to the knowledge in the Academy of Magic, Dun is very clear that before a magician casts magic, he must expand the magic field, but this field has different ranges according to different mana, in which he can accurately detect the number of enemies and even the current situation. Certainly a certain degree is required.
"It's an interesting inference. It seems that the little devil is not an ordinary noble boy. Could it be that the two countries have exchanges now? No way? If this is the case, I will be so scared that I will drop my eyeballs, but it won't be! Haha Ha ha!"
"Is it possible to temporarily stop burning?"
In order to reduce the conversation time with this weird old man, Dun interrupted the other party's laughter without hesitation, and reiterated his main purpose of entering the house.
If the old man insisted that he didn't take it seriously and kept chatting with a smile on his face, Dun would have skipped the old man and extinguished the flames with his giant sword.
"Oh, what an impatient person. Could it be that there are soldiers chasing you from behind?"
Hearing this sentence, he subconsciously twitched his eyebrows, but the old man did not let go of this subtle movement, and continued to smile with that terrifying smile full of eerieness.
"In this case, I don't even want to extinguish this flame. If more people come to chat with me, I will be very happy. Oh, oh, don't listen to you little brat, ah, put away your words Bingren, don't be in such a hurry, I'm just joking, just listen to me quietly, I guarantee you won't suffer!"
Seeing Dun skillfully holding the giant sword from behind, bending his lower body to prepare to charge up, the old man smiled and raised his wrinkled, gray-skinned hands, indicating that he would not resist.
"Well, the little devil is really impulsive, hehe, don't worry, I don't see any magic country chasing soldiers around. Ah, I have to say, I'm not a magician, you can rest assured that I won't lie to you."
"Sir, are you from the kingdom of swords?"
"It's really a simple dichotomy, why don't you guess that I'm from a third country?"
These words made Dun's originally gentle cheeks tense again, and the weapon in his hand did not return to his back because the old man raised his hands.
Although the third country is not as hostile as the Magic Kingdom, this country is also neutral and cannot be easily trusted.
"Ah, but neither am I, hahahaha!"
Talking to himself again, he laughed, and this series of actions seemed to be mocking Dun's warning.
"Sir, please put out the flames. One last time."
Not intending to waste any more words, he decisively and rudely raised the giant sword, and pointed the tip of the sword at the old man's forehead, the distance between the two was no more than [-] centimeters.
"Hey, it seems that you are really nervous, little Maotou. If you keep being tense like this, be careful that you will collapse yourself one day. Hehe, this is my old man's advice."
"Extinguishing."
Reiterate your purpose again and bring the giant sword closer to the opponent's forehead, as long as you miss a little, the opponent's head will be chopped off.
Faced with such a situation, the old man showed no fear or timidity on his face, and obediently raised his hands to express his surrender.
"Speaking of which, I don't seem to have answered it for you yet? Why can I know the number of people outside? The reason why I can know it even though I'm not a magician is actually very simple. It really couldn't be simpler. Anyone who wants to know it can know it. Hahaha! Do you understand? Not special humans, as long as it is something that ordinary people can do - the answer is smell, not vision or magic, it's just a simple sense of smell!"
"odor?"
He didn't draw any further offensive, kept staying in place, and subconsciously asked back.
The attack that was supposed to be launched immediately stopped at this moment, not because of pity or hesitation, but because the answer was very unexpected.
"This is the Forest of Gathering Gods, so I'm naturally on guard. I've put powder that smells nasty to monsters within a [-]-meter radius. It's hard for ordinary people to detect this smell, even if it gets on their body, they can't smell it, except I am outside the person who is in this environment and needs to judge the taste every day.”
"How do you know we have wounded?"
"Hahaha! Do you not intend to kill me if you keep asking me like this? Could it be that you want to chat with me?"
Just after saying this sentence, the blade of the giant sword directly pierced the old man's forehead, and there were bloodstains that were so dark that they were almost black from the wound.
"Ah, what a kid who can't take a joke, didn't your parents tell you to respect the elderly?"
He didn't appear flustered or scared because of his injury, and still maintained this frivolous and provocative attitude. He took out a dark green round and elongated leaf from his hand and pressed it to his injured forehead, making a similar movement to stop bleeding.
As long as it is all residents of the Kingdom of Swords, they have strong bodies and strength, including resistance to blades and energy resistance.
The scene of bleeding when being lightly touched by the giant sword in front of him is enough to prove that this old man is not from the kingdom of swords.
It is definitely not a companion, but at the same time it also increases the probability that the old man's words are true.
"How do you know we have wounded?"
"It's very simple. The breath and the smell tell me this...they are struggling to survive, right?"
Nodding his head expressionlessly, he didn't intend to put down the huge sword in his hand, but pointed at the old man more firmly on the contrary.
It's not that he just answered obediently and put down his guard. It should be said that on the contrary, if the old man keeps answering, he will judge that he is a dangerous person and take drastic measures.
"If you think about it, you know that you are being hunted down. The reason is unknown, but I guess I am right. If so, there must be psychological pressure. The way back to the kingdom of swords is indeed the fastest and most dangerous here. To be honest, you guys Being able to get here safely is already considered very lucky, but it will be difficult to say later, and your spirits have been in a state of weakness for a long time, and you are on guard, I believe it has also been affected."
His eyes continued to stare at the gray and black cheeks with a smiley face, and after nearly ten seconds of staring, he put away the giant sword in his right hand.
"Sir, I hope we can get these powders and accept the currency of the Kingdom of Swords or the Kingdom of Magic?"
"Hey, it seems really urgent, but I advise you to have a good night's rest. Even if there is powder at night, it is very dangerous, because it is impossible to detect it from the map. The most important thing is that my powder is only Servings for two people, you have to go to collect the servings for all of you the next morning. Oops, it's so refreshing. It's been years since I explained this to anyone. I always feel like a human being at last, but I don't look like one Humans, hahahaha!"
After deducting a bunch of nonsense, Dun once again fell into the contemplation of self-thinking.
It was quieter for a long time than the previous one, and it took nearly a minute before Dun spoke again.
"Which currency is accepted?"
"Could you be a businessman between the two countries, young man? Hehe, but with such an eye-catching weapon on your body, it is difficult to enter the other country, ah, I see, you should be regarded as Enemy country merchants are being hunted down, right? It’s just that after so many years, at such a young age, you plan to become such a businessman. Sure enough, young people have passion.”
Once again, a bunch of boring and meaningless nonsense, but after hearing this, Dun already roughly understood one thing.
This old man doesn't know the situation between the two countries in recent years. For example, the hostage exchange agreement between the two countries has been a joint agreement for nearly five years, and it is also something that almost all the people in the two countries know well. However, the old man seemed unaware of the existence of this important agreement called peace between the two countries.
Of course, it is possible that the old man deliberately pretended not to know, but in summary, Dun has been successfully persuaded and intends to rest here.
"Which currency is accepted?"
"Ah, what a rigid brat, if you have any interesting items, I'd be more than happy to accept them."
"Let's borrow it for one night, the floor is enough, and we are going to leave tomorrow morning."
"I'm leaving before we have had enough chats, isn't it a bit too indifferent? After all, I'm relying on the old man who stayed for one night with you?"
"I'll be leaving tomorrow morning."
"Oh, what a stubborn and stubborn little brat, I guess a bunch of people say you are a deadhead? Well, let me put it another way, the sun won't be until tomorrow morning, and I can only gather powder at that time, Do you understand? It’s not that I want to keep you guys anymore, but that you are forced to stay until noon, can this still be called morning? Hehehe.”
"Understood, we will leave at noon tomorrow."
"Oh, what a bad kid."
Seeing the sudden change in his expression, the old man shook his head deeply, as if encountering an unresponsive piece of wood, he continued to press the leaf on his forehead helplessly to stop the blood from coagulating.
After confirming the next itinerary, Dun turned around and walked to the gate to stop.
"Can you open the door?"
"Ah, let's make it my own home, why don't you let your friends come in quickly, I want to take a good look at human beings."
Ignoring the old man who complained a lot, Dun immediately opened the wooden door after getting permission to open the door.
"Squad member Bavi Noser, bring the two of you back in."
"Yes."
Norther couldn't figure out the current situation, but Dun's order was absolute.
From the backs of the two people in the bullock cart to his left and right shoulders, holding the weapons that must be carried with both hands, he followed Dun's words and moved into the significantly warmer room.
"It's really strange here, huh? Human bones?"
"Welcome, welcome, hahaha! That surprised expression on your face is so funny, alas, the two people on your back are almost on the carpet side, although it is a bit hard, they can still lie down and rest. Boy, come and talk to me." Let me talk to this old man."
The deep and dark sunken eyes released a horrible aura, the skin color outside the cloth was all gray and dark, and the hardened skin was so stiff and aged that it was almost dehydrated from the mud, and finally the cheeks were about to be squeezed and broken. With a strange smile, Noser immediately turned pale with fright, as if seeing a ghost.
Hearing this series of words without a beginning and an end again, Noser's face not only lost its color, but was so frightened that it was about to turn purple, and the expression on his face became distorted.
"Deputy, deputy captain? This person?"
"According to his words, move the two of you to the carpet."
"Yes."
Even though he couldn't figure out this inexplicable development and this strange old man whom he had never seen before, Norther's confused mind was still very clear about Dun's orders.
Raising fear and nervousness, he slowly approached the weird old man until he reached the place where he just touched the carpet, which was the farthest distance from the old man, and slowly placed the two of them on the carpet safely.
"Hey, the young man is really handsome. I believe there are many girls who like you, right? Oh, this reminds me of when I was young. At that time, there were too many girls around me. As a result, I attracted a lot of girls. Boys are jealous, hahahaha!"
Trying to put this long string of words into their ears, and confirming that the two of them were lying on the carpet while still asleep, they immediately moved their heads back to Dun's side, and used ingenious angles to hide their bodies under Dun's huge body, only exposing their shoulders and The old man saw the soles of the shoes, but instead of hiding like a child meeting a villainous uncle, he deliberately maintained his dignity as an excellent student and stood upright with his head held high.
Pretending to straighten the body without bending, to release the appearance of not being afraid, so that the hiding angle does not appear to be hiding intentionally.
Even though he was afraid, Noser still had the dignity based on the hostage team, even if it was just a pretense, he had to execute it thoroughly.
"Sir, please take care of the two wounded."
After speaking this sentence full of commands, he turned away from everyone's sight and moved outside the door. After a few seconds, he returned to the house, holding an extra plump and round brown leather bag.
"Oh? Whether it's speech or actions, it has priority over this guy who is afraid of mounting his face. The leader of this team is you, a log? What's the matter with helping take care of it? Let me listen , What kind of inferences will you say, hehehe, I am looking forward to it! What did a child discover."
Gently placing the leather bag on the ground, his cold and upright face stared at the noisy old man without avoiding it.
"Beast bones, powder, and herbs that help stop bleeding are carried around at hand, and smells that ordinary people can't detect with just their sense of smell. These information are enough to prove that Mr. is a pharmacist."
Pharmacist is a kind of respectful title in the kingdom of swords that uses various herbs to make pills and powders to help the wounded and sick.
Kingdom of Sword is not only a physical expert who only uses martial arts, but also has different occupations derived from keen sense of smell and hearing. The emergence of these various classes is to apply the Kingdom of Sword to make Kingdom of Sword more prosperous.
"Hehe, yes, you are not as rigid as your face, you have a very flexible head. I am indeed a pharmacist, but strictly speaking, I am not a pharmacist. That title is what people called me a long time ago. I like to make things Many, researching medicinal herbs and distributing a certain proportion into pills is one of my interests, ah, I haven’t seen a human experimental subject for so long, do you want to take advantage of this time to be the subject of my confident finished product? As long as you are willing If I take the position, I can help you collect powder and ensure that you move to the kingdom of swords without asking for anything in return, how about it? It should be a good reward, right?"
"Sir, please take care of the two wounded."
Dun solemnly shook his head to deny the old man's request and reiterated his request.
"It's really a piece of wood, hehe, so what about this handsome guy? Are you interested? The pills I made here can increase muscle strength and endurance, and there are also products that can make the skin fair and smooth. It is guaranteed to make it easier for you Captured the hearts of a bunch of girls, huh?"
"unnecessary!"
Strictly and disciplined, he rejected this old man who was crazy about selling his products with the shortest three words, without any hesitation in his eyes or face, and immediately rejected the proposal.
As long as you observe carefully, you can find that Norther's position is even more hidden behind Dun.
"Two unfunny people, hehe, since that's the case, I have to find these two wounded people to test the medicine."
"stop."
When these words were blurted out, Dun's giant sword suddenly swung to a position ten centimeters in front of the old man's eyes, and the resulting wind pressure made the other's pale and slightly bald short hair messy, and even the hard skin was blown out by this energy. .
"Hahahaha! This wooden brat is beyond my expectation. It seems that your leader attaches great importance to your team members? It's amazing, but I still want to say that you are the one who ordered to take care of you, but now you say stop , it’s really hard for me to do this.”
"Diagnose, tell me about the injury, and prohibit any experimentation with pills or powders."
After saying this, the giant sword was retracted to its back, and it moved to the corner of the room to sit cross-legged. The giant sword was gently placed on the wooden board to prevent the huge weight from being crushed on the wooden floor.
Seeing the actions of his vice-captain, Noser immediately followed, obediently sat beside Dun, and fixed his eyes on the old man in the same way.
"Hey, are children so bold and rude now? You don't even feel relieved to hand it over to an old man like me, besides, my medicine is likely to make these two get better faster, ah, okay, don't worry about it Take the giant sword, I don’t give them pills, so that’s all right?”
Originally, the old man planned to continue talking a lot of nonsense, but when he saw Dun touching the giant sword, he urgently denied the nonsense, and moved his eyes to the two people lying on the carpet.
"Hey, it's been a long time, at least ten years, I haven't seen a doctor for humans."
The deep and empty eyes are like a researcher's abnormal vision full of curiosity and hunger. The ten fingers can't restrain the excitement in their hearts, and they even stick out their tongues to show how twisted and weird their personality is.
"Well, it's really interesting. The scars of the two people's injuries are so similar. You don't need to look to know that the two were attacked together. Although I only found out with my eyes, hahahaha! Okay, this kind of stiff and dark wound What's going on? The skin is torn and rolled up, the muscles are broken, and the bones inside the head are definitely injured. It's really an exaggeration. Burns? Well, it should be more severe. It's an electric shock? You actually provoked the troops of the Lei Family of Magic Kingdom, I’m really curious about what you sell to be hunted down by such a powerful force.”
"..."
"Aren't you going to answer? Forget it, let's start with this woman first. Oh, I like young girls with terrible skin. If you make me 50 years younger, I will definitely be a handsome guy who can match this girl. Hmm? What's going on here? I'm curious, little wood, when did these two precious team members of yours get injured?"
"last night."
"Yesterday, last night? No, why did this happen? The degree of injury is abnormal. It should be said that logically, it is impossible to live until now. Is it because of resilience? But it is too abnormal, normal people, no, even if it is the sword. There should be no human beings with such abnormal resilience in the people of the kingdom. Such a super-abnormal resilience should be based on something? No, this kind of recovery cannot be achieved by auxiliary herbs. Hehe, it’s really amazing I'm curious, since we don't know who each other is, why don't we introduce ourselves to each other first, how about it, little wooden merchant."
"Diagnosis matters."
"You really don't understand. The first step in diagnosis is to understand how the wounded were injured and the cause and condition of the injury. I'm not out of curiosity, but asking as a doctor."
Before Dun could pick up the giant sword, the old man had already raised his hands in surrender, and at the same time, he evoked a disgusting smile on his face.
This sentence is easy to understand. It means that if you don't intend to tell the truth, even if your life is threatened by the giant sword, this old man will not give you any help on the way back to the kingdom of swords in the future.
The way of coercion made the old man submit, but the target was a human being with an extremely weird personality, even to the degree of distortion, and Dun had a certain degree of hesitation about this method.
At least in the current situation, there is indeed a simpler and more direct method than persecution.
"We are a hostage team."
"vice captain?"
Seeing that his vice-captain leaked this important information so easily, Noser yelled in surprise, but he shook his head calmly in response.
"Oh? What is that? It turns out that you are not passionate illegal businessmen. In this way, I really doubt whether you can give me something that interests me. Ah, of course, I want to treat the two wounded as experimental subjects. It’s still valid up to now! In addition, if you want it, I will also accept it, after all, you are also a wounded person!”
"The hostage team is the first practical action agreement between the Kingdom of Sword and the Kingdom of Magic in recent years. The content is to send a few outstanding students to each other for cultural and knowledge exchanges, so as to reduce unnecessary friction with each other."
The old man did not make any special complaints about Dun ignoring the second half of the old man's jokes, but listened to this serious explanation in a strange way.
It's not that he knows that he has to reduce his awareness of speaking, but that when facing a piece of wood, the old man has habitually understood that he has to give up.
But the most basic thing to refute and complain is still uncontrollable, all of which are sprayed out from under the dry and cracked mouth.
"The terms of peace between the two countries, alas, it seems that the national power of the Magic Kingdom has probably weakened a lot, and even signed such an agreement with the Kingdom of Swords that was almost split. If it is several decades, It is definitely impossible for the Magic Kingdom to sit down obediently and negotiate such a "fair" agreement. It is absolutely impossible to use magic to destroy all the people who are in the eyes. Ahh, it has only been a few years since such a big change. The thing is that I didn’t guess it, hehe, but since you are being hunted down as the hostage team of the Kingdom of Swords, then I guess the Magic Kingdom is ready to go out with national power, hahahaha! There will be another war without accident. It’s getting lively, so I can also do business with humans.”
War, this is a noun that anyone would tense up and take seriously when they hear it, but this old man spoke casually as if he was talking about trivial matters, Norther was already frowning with displeasure at such a guy.
Compared with Norther, Dun's expression didn't change much.
"The hostage team represents the national team, so the equipment is selected and adjusted by the country itself. The most representative is that as the captain, he has a legendary sword."
Words that are both unfamiliar and familiar came to the old man’s ears, and he responded with short words for the first time. He didn’t know whether the reason was because of surprise or other reasons. The only thing Ling Dun and Norther understood was that the old man was His face does not have the obnoxious expression full of laughter and teasing as before.
The skin is so tight that it is wrinkled and cracked, and the deep and dark eyes are like a real dark cave. As long as you focus a little, you will probably be swallowed alive by those eyes.
"It seems that your importance is really beyond my expectation, ahhh, it's no wonder, the only way to barely survive a major injury is naturally that there are no common sense things, but since Excalibur is in Your team, I also understand how much the Kingdom of Swords values you, hehe, I betrayed the Magic Kingdom and treated you? Since it is a team that Kingdom of Swords values so much, I believe it will be able to come up with something I like, right?"
"Do you want money or jewelry?"
"You look so handsome, but what you say seems so superficial. If I'm not mistaken, you must have caught a lot of girls who are fascinated by your appearance, right? This is not good. If you are so careful, one day in the future Let yourself get into big trouble, although it's none of my business, it should be said that if something funny happens, please let me know, so that I can enjoy it as a joke."
It was a rare time to pluck up the courage to ask questions, but the result was a lot of irritable and beating words. Up to here, Noser has understood very well that he will never answer or ask any questions, and the vice-captain will deal with this trouble Another nasty old man.
Dun didn't respond to the main core question of the old man's words, and his eyes moved to the leather brown bag he brought in.
"Oh? So that's it. There are things in it that I might desire. Do you want me to look through them myself? Well, as expected of the captain, your style is full of measure and boldness. Your piece of wood is not as rigid as I thought. Hey, let me see what's inside."
"I'm not the captain, but the vice-captain."
Take the bag, open the seal, with a smile on your face, and carefully check with your eyes what interesting items are inside.
"Oh, you're the vice-captain? Haha, don't you want to say that the timid handsome guy behind you is the right leader?
The deputy captain, Noser, who was riding a mountain ox, moved to the outer road of the Gathering God Forest that anyone would be afraid of.
The chimney made of square stone bricks on the roof emits a slight white smoke, so it can be determined that there are people living in it rather than a ruin.
"Weird."
The shape of the house is not the simple and comfortable plain style adopted by the Kingdom of Swords, nor is it the square design format like the Magic Kingdom, but a weird house with neither.
Judging from the outer wall, one round thick wooden root after another is piled up, tightly tied with thick ropes, and then surrounded and stacked to form a wooden house. The simple room made in this way is two stories high. The height and the size can accommodate at least six people.
The primitive and ancient method has the ability to create a house with a large space on the second floor. It is impossible for one person to successfully manufacture it. In addition to the location of the house, he squinted his eyes and lightly touched the giant sword on his back with his right hand.
"Quickly leave."
"Yes!"
With a clear order and the same inexplicable timidity in his heart, Noser immediately shook the thick wool rope in his hand to control the alpine cow. The speed of the original smooth movement became faster, and his body swayed up and down because of this speed.
moo.
moo.
Just as the two alpine cows passed the gate quickly and wanted to leave, the limbs that were moving quickly stopped, and the two cows came to a complete stillness as if they were stuck to the ground.
"Damn it, move!"
Seeing the sudden appearance of abnormal behavior, especially when it happened to be right in front of the gate of this weird house, Noser waved the thick hair rope on his hands continuously. Riding on the master's movements, the limbs stayed firmly on the ground, and the gaze shifted to the direction of the gate of the house.
"Bavenoser, stand by."
The two alpine cows suddenly stopped in front of this room. There must be something in the room that attracted the alpine cows, something that even the owner of the mount didn't intend to ignore the instructions at all.
In order to be able to get back on the road and avoid wasting extra time, it is natural to solve the source of the immediate problem.
"Vice-captain, do you really want to go in?"
"Standby."
He didn't want to engage in more verbal debates, especially in the situation where he had to fight for every minute and every second, the deputy captain felt that it was unnecessary to say one more word.
Ignoring the worried expression on Noser's face beside him, he quickly walked to the gate and tapped on the wooden door lightly.
Click, click.
"Have guests? Come in quickly."
After just one second, an old but vigorous voice full of vigor like a young man came from the house.
Following the intention of the owner inside, he turned the round handle suddenly, opened the wooden door and entered into a space that was obviously much warmer than the outside.
The picture under the eye is the expected wooden wall, the roof and the only small brick stove in the corner.
In the center of this space, there is a large piece of dark brown fur-colored carpet. The color tends to be dull. In addition, there is only the faint light of the flame in the stove, so it is impossible to judge how expensive this carpet is.
There are simple wooden steps on the edge leading to the second floor, and the upper end is only a floor made of several layers of flat wooden boards. The size of the space is half smaller than that of the first floor. Various items are placed on the ground, a pile of incomprehensible and weird items.
For example, several animal skulls, human skulls, similar green herbs with different shapes, spiral-shaped branches, etc.
The second floor is obviously a kind of warehouse where various things are piled up, and the first floor is a hall for people to recuperate and rest.
There is a wooden four-legged wooden chair on the large carpet on the first floor of this house. On it sits a woman whose hair is not only gray, but even her eyebrows are old because of the passage of time. I don’t know if it’s because of the lack of light or other reasons. , gray and black with countless black spots, it looks as eerie and terrifying as if mud was wiped on the face to dry it.
At least in Dun's understanding, all the old people I've seen in this life don't have such skin.
"It's been several years since no one dared to bother me. Unexpectedly, the first one turned out to be a kid under thirty."
The words did not have the stammering and whispering of a normal old man, on the contrary there was a powerful response. Judging from the words alone, Dun would probably think that this was a young man.
The weird old man raised his head while talking, and looked directly at Dun with a pair of terrifying eyes that were so dark and so deep that it was doubtful whether people would be sucked in.
Subconsciously, he placed his right hand on the hilt of the sword.
Seeing this tense look, the old man raised his hard skin that seemed to crack if he squeezed it, and a smile appeared on his dark gray face.
Just paired with this gray and black weird face, and the sitting posture with the upper body hunched to a bent angle, that smile can't make people relax at all, but makes people feel trembling even more.
"I want to ask you something, sir."
"Oh? Seeing my wooden house in the god-gathering forest where no one is there, I believe there are many problems, right? But it's good, I have so little experience talking with such a brat, so any questions will make me very happy, right? Haha. "
"Our team's mounts stopped in front of this room, sir, do you know the reason?"
Those empty and empty eyes of pitch-black eyes slowly moved away from Dun's body, and looked out through the window.
"Your mounts? Mountain cattle from the Magic Kingdom? Hehehe, hahaha! The mounts used by the Kingdom of Swords are actually animals that are only found in the Magic Kingdom, hahahaha!"
Crazy let out an exaggerated laugh, the stiff skin on both sides of the mouth twitched quickly, and his body swayed from side to side because of this agitation. Watching at this moment, you can still find that the corners of the old man's eyes have laughed until tears flowed.
It is impossible to know how the old man knew that Dun and the others were riding alpine cattle, but the sudden loud and obnoxious laughter made Dun immediately feel annoyed, and the original nervousness dissipated a lot , It should even be said that tense alert is an act that appears excessive.
Dun just wanted to punch the old man who had smeared the dirt on his face.
Dun has never seen an old man who loses his dignity and face. There is no basic discipline or etiquette, only a funny attitude that fluctuates quickly with his own emotions.
"Excuse me sir?"
Suppressing his displeasure, he stood quietly where he was, until the old gentleman finally lowered his continuous laughter, and then reminded the gentleman softly again.
"Yes, there is no reason why you alpine cows stay here. It has something to do with the items burning in my stove."
Stretch out the old, stiff and wrinkled fingers, pointing to the stove where the orange flames are burning. If you look carefully inside, you will find that the wood is not swallowed by the fire, but a bunch of ferns and green leaves are all squeezed into balls and balls round ball.
"What kind of plant is that, sir?"
"Yes, after several years, someone finally asked me a question. If I don't answer at this time, God knows how long it will take before I can talk to a little devil? Hahaha! Hmm! Speaking of you, a little boy born in the Kingdom of Swords, This expensive equipment is probably a nobleman, right? Do you know that straw and firewood are burning in the stove?"
"Yes."
The old man's words revealed a provocative tone all the time, but the precise and sharp analysis made Ling Dun obediently respond.
The original vigilance towards the old man was not an illusion. Although his tone was very annoying, his strange vision and incisive analysis made Dun understand the danger of the old man.
Unconsciously set up the vigilance again.
"Relax, what is burning in the stove is one of the plants in the Gathering God Forest. It is non-toxic and easy to burn. It is the best material for heating, but this thing is very suitable for alpine cattle. It is a very calming plant. "
"May I ask if you can temporarily stop the burning, sir?"
"Is this really good? Except for the guard outside, I'm afraid the two wounded inside may not survive the long journey."
Once again, it is easy to guess the situation on Dun's side perfectly. It should be said that it is not a guess, but a strange feeling of seeing through.
"Mister is a magician?"
"Oh? Xiaomaotou's sudden idea is definitely not a whim. Why don't you share with me how you came to this conclusion? Hahaha, it's really exciting."
The corners of the mouth gradually rose to the point of shuddering, and the skin was squeezed a series of times, which really produced a weird sense of cracking. Those empty eyes were more like pits that were about to swallow a meal alive, so dark that there was no end in sight. .
"Only one swordsman can be seen from the angle of the window. The only possibility is to use the magic field to detect the life breath of other people."
According to the knowledge in the Academy of Magic, Dun is very clear that before a magician casts magic, he must expand the magic field, but this field has different ranges according to different mana, in which he can accurately detect the number of enemies and even the current situation. Certainly a certain degree is required.
"It's an interesting inference. It seems that the little devil is not an ordinary noble boy. Could it be that the two countries have exchanges now? No way? If this is the case, I will be so scared that I will drop my eyeballs, but it won't be! Haha Ha ha!"
"Is it possible to temporarily stop burning?"
In order to reduce the conversation time with this weird old man, Dun interrupted the other party's laughter without hesitation, and reiterated his main purpose of entering the house.
If the old man insisted that he didn't take it seriously and kept chatting with a smile on his face, Dun would have skipped the old man and extinguished the flames with his giant sword.
"Oh, what an impatient person. Could it be that there are soldiers chasing you from behind?"
Hearing this sentence, he subconsciously twitched his eyebrows, but the old man did not let go of this subtle movement, and continued to smile with that terrifying smile full of eerieness.
"In this case, I don't even want to extinguish this flame. If more people come to chat with me, I will be very happy. Oh, oh, don't listen to you little brat, ah, put away your words Bingren, don't be in such a hurry, I'm just joking, just listen to me quietly, I guarantee you won't suffer!"
Seeing Dun skillfully holding the giant sword from behind, bending his lower body to prepare to charge up, the old man smiled and raised his wrinkled, gray-skinned hands, indicating that he would not resist.
"Well, the little devil is really impulsive, hehe, don't worry, I don't see any magic country chasing soldiers around. Ah, I have to say, I'm not a magician, you can rest assured that I won't lie to you."
"Sir, are you from the kingdom of swords?"
"It's really a simple dichotomy, why don't you guess that I'm from a third country?"
These words made Dun's originally gentle cheeks tense again, and the weapon in his hand did not return to his back because the old man raised his hands.
Although the third country is not as hostile as the Magic Kingdom, this country is also neutral and cannot be easily trusted.
"Ah, but neither am I, hahahaha!"
Talking to himself again, he laughed, and this series of actions seemed to be mocking Dun's warning.
"Sir, please put out the flames. One last time."
Not intending to waste any more words, he decisively and rudely raised the giant sword, and pointed the tip of the sword at the old man's forehead, the distance between the two was no more than [-] centimeters.
"Hey, it seems that you are really nervous, little Maotou. If you keep being tense like this, be careful that you will collapse yourself one day. Hehe, this is my old man's advice."
"Extinguishing."
Reiterate your purpose again and bring the giant sword closer to the opponent's forehead, as long as you miss a little, the opponent's head will be chopped off.
Faced with such a situation, the old man showed no fear or timidity on his face, and obediently raised his hands to express his surrender.
"Speaking of which, I don't seem to have answered it for you yet? Why can I know the number of people outside? The reason why I can know it even though I'm not a magician is actually very simple. It really couldn't be simpler. Anyone who wants to know it can know it. Hahaha! Do you understand? Not special humans, as long as it is something that ordinary people can do - the answer is smell, not vision or magic, it's just a simple sense of smell!"
"odor?"
He didn't draw any further offensive, kept staying in place, and subconsciously asked back.
The attack that was supposed to be launched immediately stopped at this moment, not because of pity or hesitation, but because the answer was very unexpected.
"This is the Forest of Gathering Gods, so I'm naturally on guard. I've put powder that smells nasty to monsters within a [-]-meter radius. It's hard for ordinary people to detect this smell, even if it gets on their body, they can't smell it, except I am outside the person who is in this environment and needs to judge the taste every day.”
"How do you know we have wounded?"
"Hahaha! Do you not intend to kill me if you keep asking me like this? Could it be that you want to chat with me?"
Just after saying this sentence, the blade of the giant sword directly pierced the old man's forehead, and there were bloodstains that were so dark that they were almost black from the wound.
"Ah, what a kid who can't take a joke, didn't your parents tell you to respect the elderly?"
He didn't appear flustered or scared because of his injury, and still maintained this frivolous and provocative attitude. He took out a dark green round and elongated leaf from his hand and pressed it to his injured forehead, making a similar movement to stop bleeding.
As long as it is all residents of the Kingdom of Swords, they have strong bodies and strength, including resistance to blades and energy resistance.
The scene of bleeding when being lightly touched by the giant sword in front of him is enough to prove that this old man is not from the kingdom of swords.
It is definitely not a companion, but at the same time it also increases the probability that the old man's words are true.
"How do you know we have wounded?"
"It's very simple. The breath and the smell tell me this...they are struggling to survive, right?"
Nodding his head expressionlessly, he didn't intend to put down the huge sword in his hand, but pointed at the old man more firmly on the contrary.
It's not that he just answered obediently and put down his guard. It should be said that on the contrary, if the old man keeps answering, he will judge that he is a dangerous person and take drastic measures.
"If you think about it, you know that you are being hunted down. The reason is unknown, but I guess I am right. If so, there must be psychological pressure. The way back to the kingdom of swords is indeed the fastest and most dangerous here. To be honest, you guys Being able to get here safely is already considered very lucky, but it will be difficult to say later, and your spirits have been in a state of weakness for a long time, and you are on guard, I believe it has also been affected."
His eyes continued to stare at the gray and black cheeks with a smiley face, and after nearly ten seconds of staring, he put away the giant sword in his right hand.
"Sir, I hope we can get these powders and accept the currency of the Kingdom of Swords or the Kingdom of Magic?"
"Hey, it seems really urgent, but I advise you to have a good night's rest. Even if there is powder at night, it is very dangerous, because it is impossible to detect it from the map. The most important thing is that my powder is only Servings for two people, you have to go to collect the servings for all of you the next morning. Oops, it's so refreshing. It's been years since I explained this to anyone. I always feel like a human being at last, but I don't look like one Humans, hahahaha!"
After deducting a bunch of nonsense, Dun once again fell into the contemplation of self-thinking.
It was quieter for a long time than the previous one, and it took nearly a minute before Dun spoke again.
"Which currency is accepted?"
"Could you be a businessman between the two countries, young man? Hehe, but with such an eye-catching weapon on your body, it is difficult to enter the other country, ah, I see, you should be regarded as Enemy country merchants are being hunted down, right? It’s just that after so many years, at such a young age, you plan to become such a businessman. Sure enough, young people have passion.”
Once again, a bunch of boring and meaningless nonsense, but after hearing this, Dun already roughly understood one thing.
This old man doesn't know the situation between the two countries in recent years. For example, the hostage exchange agreement between the two countries has been a joint agreement for nearly five years, and it is also something that almost all the people in the two countries know well. However, the old man seemed unaware of the existence of this important agreement called peace between the two countries.
Of course, it is possible that the old man deliberately pretended not to know, but in summary, Dun has been successfully persuaded and intends to rest here.
"Which currency is accepted?"
"Ah, what a rigid brat, if you have any interesting items, I'd be more than happy to accept them."
"Let's borrow it for one night, the floor is enough, and we are going to leave tomorrow morning."
"I'm leaving before we have had enough chats, isn't it a bit too indifferent? After all, I'm relying on the old man who stayed for one night with you?"
"I'll be leaving tomorrow morning."
"Oh, what a stubborn and stubborn little brat, I guess a bunch of people say you are a deadhead? Well, let me put it another way, the sun won't be until tomorrow morning, and I can only gather powder at that time, Do you understand? It’s not that I want to keep you guys anymore, but that you are forced to stay until noon, can this still be called morning? Hehehe.”
"Understood, we will leave at noon tomorrow."
"Oh, what a bad kid."
Seeing the sudden change in his expression, the old man shook his head deeply, as if encountering an unresponsive piece of wood, he continued to press the leaf on his forehead helplessly to stop the blood from coagulating.
After confirming the next itinerary, Dun turned around and walked to the gate to stop.
"Can you open the door?"
"Ah, let's make it my own home, why don't you let your friends come in quickly, I want to take a good look at human beings."
Ignoring the old man who complained a lot, Dun immediately opened the wooden door after getting permission to open the door.
"Squad member Bavi Noser, bring the two of you back in."
"Yes."
Norther couldn't figure out the current situation, but Dun's order was absolute.
From the backs of the two people in the bullock cart to his left and right shoulders, holding the weapons that must be carried with both hands, he followed Dun's words and moved into the significantly warmer room.
"It's really strange here, huh? Human bones?"
"Welcome, welcome, hahaha! That surprised expression on your face is so funny, alas, the two people on your back are almost on the carpet side, although it is a bit hard, they can still lie down and rest. Boy, come and talk to me." Let me talk to this old man."
The deep and dark sunken eyes released a horrible aura, the skin color outside the cloth was all gray and dark, and the hardened skin was so stiff and aged that it was almost dehydrated from the mud, and finally the cheeks were about to be squeezed and broken. With a strange smile, Noser immediately turned pale with fright, as if seeing a ghost.
Hearing this series of words without a beginning and an end again, Noser's face not only lost its color, but was so frightened that it was about to turn purple, and the expression on his face became distorted.
"Deputy, deputy captain? This person?"
"According to his words, move the two of you to the carpet."
"Yes."
Even though he couldn't figure out this inexplicable development and this strange old man whom he had never seen before, Norther's confused mind was still very clear about Dun's orders.
Raising fear and nervousness, he slowly approached the weird old man until he reached the place where he just touched the carpet, which was the farthest distance from the old man, and slowly placed the two of them on the carpet safely.
"Hey, the young man is really handsome. I believe there are many girls who like you, right? Oh, this reminds me of when I was young. At that time, there were too many girls around me. As a result, I attracted a lot of girls. Boys are jealous, hahahaha!"
Trying to put this long string of words into their ears, and confirming that the two of them were lying on the carpet while still asleep, they immediately moved their heads back to Dun's side, and used ingenious angles to hide their bodies under Dun's huge body, only exposing their shoulders and The old man saw the soles of the shoes, but instead of hiding like a child meeting a villainous uncle, he deliberately maintained his dignity as an excellent student and stood upright with his head held high.
Pretending to straighten the body without bending, to release the appearance of not being afraid, so that the hiding angle does not appear to be hiding intentionally.
Even though he was afraid, Noser still had the dignity based on the hostage team, even if it was just a pretense, he had to execute it thoroughly.
"Sir, please take care of the two wounded."
After speaking this sentence full of commands, he turned away from everyone's sight and moved outside the door. After a few seconds, he returned to the house, holding an extra plump and round brown leather bag.
"Oh? Whether it's speech or actions, it has priority over this guy who is afraid of mounting his face. The leader of this team is you, a log? What's the matter with helping take care of it? Let me listen , What kind of inferences will you say, hehehe, I am looking forward to it! What did a child discover."
Gently placing the leather bag on the ground, his cold and upright face stared at the noisy old man without avoiding it.
"Beast bones, powder, and herbs that help stop bleeding are carried around at hand, and smells that ordinary people can't detect with just their sense of smell. These information are enough to prove that Mr. is a pharmacist."
Pharmacist is a kind of respectful title in the kingdom of swords that uses various herbs to make pills and powders to help the wounded and sick.
Kingdom of Sword is not only a physical expert who only uses martial arts, but also has different occupations derived from keen sense of smell and hearing. The emergence of these various classes is to apply the Kingdom of Sword to make Kingdom of Sword more prosperous.
"Hehe, yes, you are not as rigid as your face, you have a very flexible head. I am indeed a pharmacist, but strictly speaking, I am not a pharmacist. That title is what people called me a long time ago. I like to make things Many, researching medicinal herbs and distributing a certain proportion into pills is one of my interests, ah, I haven’t seen a human experimental subject for so long, do you want to take advantage of this time to be the subject of my confident finished product? As long as you are willing If I take the position, I can help you collect powder and ensure that you move to the kingdom of swords without asking for anything in return, how about it? It should be a good reward, right?"
"Sir, please take care of the two wounded."
Dun solemnly shook his head to deny the old man's request and reiterated his request.
"It's really a piece of wood, hehe, so what about this handsome guy? Are you interested? The pills I made here can increase muscle strength and endurance, and there are also products that can make the skin fair and smooth. It is guaranteed to make it easier for you Captured the hearts of a bunch of girls, huh?"
"unnecessary!"
Strictly and disciplined, he rejected this old man who was crazy about selling his products with the shortest three words, without any hesitation in his eyes or face, and immediately rejected the proposal.
As long as you observe carefully, you can find that Norther's position is even more hidden behind Dun.
"Two unfunny people, hehe, since that's the case, I have to find these two wounded people to test the medicine."
"stop."
When these words were blurted out, Dun's giant sword suddenly swung to a position ten centimeters in front of the old man's eyes, and the resulting wind pressure made the other's pale and slightly bald short hair messy, and even the hard skin was blown out by this energy. .
"Hahahaha! This wooden brat is beyond my expectation. It seems that your leader attaches great importance to your team members? It's amazing, but I still want to say that you are the one who ordered to take care of you, but now you say stop , it’s really hard for me to do this.”
"Diagnose, tell me about the injury, and prohibit any experimentation with pills or powders."
After saying this, the giant sword was retracted to its back, and it moved to the corner of the room to sit cross-legged. The giant sword was gently placed on the wooden board to prevent the huge weight from being crushed on the wooden floor.
Seeing the actions of his vice-captain, Noser immediately followed, obediently sat beside Dun, and fixed his eyes on the old man in the same way.
"Hey, are children so bold and rude now? You don't even feel relieved to hand it over to an old man like me, besides, my medicine is likely to make these two get better faster, ah, okay, don't worry about it Take the giant sword, I don’t give them pills, so that’s all right?”
Originally, the old man planned to continue talking a lot of nonsense, but when he saw Dun touching the giant sword, he urgently denied the nonsense, and moved his eyes to the two people lying on the carpet.
"Hey, it's been a long time, at least ten years, I haven't seen a doctor for humans."
The deep and empty eyes are like a researcher's abnormal vision full of curiosity and hunger. The ten fingers can't restrain the excitement in their hearts, and they even stick out their tongues to show how twisted and weird their personality is.
"Well, it's really interesting. The scars of the two people's injuries are so similar. You don't need to look to know that the two were attacked together. Although I only found out with my eyes, hahahaha! Okay, this kind of stiff and dark wound What's going on? The skin is torn and rolled up, the muscles are broken, and the bones inside the head are definitely injured. It's really an exaggeration. Burns? Well, it should be more severe. It's an electric shock? You actually provoked the troops of the Lei Family of Magic Kingdom, I’m really curious about what you sell to be hunted down by such a powerful force.”
"..."
"Aren't you going to answer? Forget it, let's start with this woman first. Oh, I like young girls with terrible skin. If you make me 50 years younger, I will definitely be a handsome guy who can match this girl. Hmm? What's going on here? I'm curious, little wood, when did these two precious team members of yours get injured?"
"last night."
"Yesterday, last night? No, why did this happen? The degree of injury is abnormal. It should be said that logically, it is impossible to live until now. Is it because of resilience? But it is too abnormal, normal people, no, even if it is the sword. There should be no human beings with such abnormal resilience in the people of the kingdom. Such a super-abnormal resilience should be based on something? No, this kind of recovery cannot be achieved by auxiliary herbs. Hehe, it’s really amazing I'm curious, since we don't know who each other is, why don't we introduce ourselves to each other first, how about it, little wooden merchant."
"Diagnosis matters."
"You really don't understand. The first step in diagnosis is to understand how the wounded were injured and the cause and condition of the injury. I'm not out of curiosity, but asking as a doctor."
Before Dun could pick up the giant sword, the old man had already raised his hands in surrender, and at the same time, he evoked a disgusting smile on his face.
This sentence is easy to understand. It means that if you don't intend to tell the truth, even if your life is threatened by the giant sword, this old man will not give you any help on the way back to the kingdom of swords in the future.
The way of coercion made the old man submit, but the target was a human being with an extremely weird personality, even to the degree of distortion, and Dun had a certain degree of hesitation about this method.
At least in the current situation, there is indeed a simpler and more direct method than persecution.
"We are a hostage team."
"vice captain?"
Seeing that his vice-captain leaked this important information so easily, Noser yelled in surprise, but he shook his head calmly in response.
"Oh? What is that? It turns out that you are not passionate illegal businessmen. In this way, I really doubt whether you can give me something that interests me. Ah, of course, I want to treat the two wounded as experimental subjects. It’s still valid up to now! In addition, if you want it, I will also accept it, after all, you are also a wounded person!”
"The hostage team is the first practical action agreement between the Kingdom of Sword and the Kingdom of Magic in recent years. The content is to send a few outstanding students to each other for cultural and knowledge exchanges, so as to reduce unnecessary friction with each other."
The old man did not make any special complaints about Dun ignoring the second half of the old man's jokes, but listened to this serious explanation in a strange way.
It's not that he knows that he has to reduce his awareness of speaking, but that when facing a piece of wood, the old man has habitually understood that he has to give up.
But the most basic thing to refute and complain is still uncontrollable, all of which are sprayed out from under the dry and cracked mouth.
"The terms of peace between the two countries, alas, it seems that the national power of the Magic Kingdom has probably weakened a lot, and even signed such an agreement with the Kingdom of Swords that was almost split. If it is several decades, It is definitely impossible for the Magic Kingdom to sit down obediently and negotiate such a "fair" agreement. It is absolutely impossible to use magic to destroy all the people who are in the eyes. Ahh, it has only been a few years since such a big change. The thing is that I didn’t guess it, hehe, but since you are being hunted down as the hostage team of the Kingdom of Swords, then I guess the Magic Kingdom is ready to go out with national power, hahahaha! There will be another war without accident. It’s getting lively, so I can also do business with humans.”
War, this is a noun that anyone would tense up and take seriously when they hear it, but this old man spoke casually as if he was talking about trivial matters, Norther was already frowning with displeasure at such a guy.
Compared with Norther, Dun's expression didn't change much.
"The hostage team represents the national team, so the equipment is selected and adjusted by the country itself. The most representative is that as the captain, he has a legendary sword."
Words that are both unfamiliar and familiar came to the old man’s ears, and he responded with short words for the first time. He didn’t know whether the reason was because of surprise or other reasons. The only thing Ling Dun and Norther understood was that the old man was His face does not have the obnoxious expression full of laughter and teasing as before.
The skin is so tight that it is wrinkled and cracked, and the deep and dark eyes are like a real dark cave. As long as you focus a little, you will probably be swallowed alive by those eyes.
"It seems that your importance is really beyond my expectation, ahhh, it's no wonder, the only way to barely survive a major injury is naturally that there are no common sense things, but since Excalibur is in Your team, I also understand how much the Kingdom of Swords values you, hehe, I betrayed the Magic Kingdom and treated you? Since it is a team that Kingdom of Swords values so much, I believe it will be able to come up with something I like, right?"
"Do you want money or jewelry?"
"You look so handsome, but what you say seems so superficial. If I'm not mistaken, you must have caught a lot of girls who are fascinated by your appearance, right? This is not good. If you are so careful, one day in the future Let yourself get into big trouble, although it's none of my business, it should be said that if something funny happens, please let me know, so that I can enjoy it as a joke."
It was a rare time to pluck up the courage to ask questions, but the result was a lot of irritable and beating words. Up to here, Noser has understood very well that he will never answer or ask any questions, and the vice-captain will deal with this trouble Another nasty old man.
Dun didn't respond to the main core question of the old man's words, and his eyes moved to the leather brown bag he brought in.
"Oh? So that's it. There are things in it that I might desire. Do you want me to look through them myself? Well, as expected of the captain, your style is full of measure and boldness. Your piece of wood is not as rigid as I thought. Hey, let me see what's inside."
"I'm not the captain, but the vice-captain."
Take the bag, open the seal, with a smile on your face, and carefully check with your eyes what interesting items are inside.
"Oh, you're the vice-captain? Haha, don't you want to say that the timid handsome guy behind you is the right leader?
