Cthulhu Gonfalons
Chapter 16
It certainly did not occur to Gerrard and Sui Xiong that they had been followed by the Thief Association in Pyroxene City. They collected 10 gold coins by selling some valuables collected from the rubble of White Leaves Village. Although the money was not much, they could get it just because the grocery store owner was afraid of Gerrard's impressive appearance.
“The old man is really cheating. One big bag of such little money! “Sui Xiong said angrily,” He doesn't look like a money profiteer!
Gerrard, on the other hand, was actually very open-minded, and replied, “Your Majesty, 10 gold coins is not a small amount of money. Villagers usually use copper coins. ”
“10 copper coins for silver coins, ten silver coins for gold coins .. So we have a thousand copper coins, and indeed it seems like a lot. So, let's buy some equipment for you, because your dress is no different from a beggar. ”
“Forget it, the equipment that can be purchased with ten gold coins is not as good as my own defense.” Gerrard scratched his head again, smiling in an honest way.
Sui Xiong was silent. He was scared when he made Gerrard's body, he didn't make his head sophisticated enough, having added fewer circuits. Otherwise, why would such a big brain be so innocent and peaceful? This man doesn't seem to be the same as when he was a ghost.
But he remembered that the cerebrum was never on par with high intelligence, and perhaps, Gerrard was a fool, and only smart for a short time after becoming a ghost …
He thought, Forget it. I can take care of him, and this guy, even a fool, won't be sold. Be it.
Of course, it was impossible for Gerrard to know Sui Xiong's thoughts. He carried his backpack and walked the streets. Because he was too tall and powerful, he was alone who occupied no more than half of the way, and wherever he went, everyone glanced at him, with more than one person gossiping silently.
“See! That guy is so tall! ”
“He is not only high! You can see how strong he is, and his arms are thicker than our waists! ”
“She's a big person, how much does she eat for each meal ..?”
“Although this man is tall and strong, his actions are very flexible, so he has great potential to practice martial arts! If we can recruit him to our team, with a little practice, he will become a top master! After that, our task will be much easier! The giant clan had a very blunt character and extraordinary talent. In this northwestern city, it was difficult to find such talent. I will try to guide him. Even if I can't take him under my master's orders, at least I won't let him go down the path of evil! ”
“Wah! Where are the giants from? He is not a normal giant. I'm afraid he's a young shaman. Jesus, maybe I can use this simple-minded person to contribute to our Lord's purpose .. ”
“How powerful is this giant! This was clearly a Druid sent by heaven! If we can convince him to accept our ideas, I will definitely teach him what I have learned, so that even if I die, he said, The Druid organization of the four northwestern cities could have a successor! ”
“Wow, this big guy can be a very good source. We might be able to make those classy death knights strong enough to sweep away the silver-level knights .. Perhaps, perhaps the gold-level knights .. ”
The voices of these people were not loud, and mingled together in a blanket of sounds, so Gerrard could not see them even though his hearing and vision were good. However, although Gerrard was unable to detect them, Sui Xiong was aware of them.
Although many people were watching and commenting on the average Gerrard in nature, there were some amazing men examining him, which Sui naturally felt. Due to his strong senses, those who spoke far away or very lightly could be heard clearly as if they were shouting in front of him.
“Gerrard, there are some people who are watching you,” he told Gerrard through his mind.
“Your Highness, it's normal to be noticed, because I'm big.”
“Big? I think you are average, while they are too short .. “Sui Xiong muttered, completely unaware of their understanding of heights. “But it's not an ordinary person. Let me introduce them one by one to you. ”
“Hey, the first one to eat with a few people next to the table in front of the hotel. He wants you to join them. ”
Gerrard did not even look at them and casually replied, “That should be an adventurer team. Such adventurers are very common, as I also have a background in taking risks. ”
“Oh, so they're trying to absorb you so you can play games all night. I've understood. The second was the old robed old man in front of the worn-out little temple, who wanted to guide you into being a good person. ”
Gerrard turned his head and looked at the old man who was smiling at him, and also saw the white-silver balance and the shield mark on the threshold of the temple. He then said with a smile, “That is the master of balance. It was the God of Justice; the head of his temple guard. The god of justice is a famous good God, which is a kind of rare good power in this northwestern region. ”
“That's great, at least you won't worry that they will betray their teammates. The third is a roadside fruit seller, who wants to take advantage of you. It's strange because the fruit seller in this place has a skill, which I'm worried about, is even higher than the armored old man! ”
Gerrard was surprised, looked carefully from the corner of his eye and replied, “I don't know this person, but this area does not bear fruit. Selling fruit here can be a testament to strength. I guess this person might be from the Thief Association or the Smuggler Association, which mostly believes in evil gods. It's hard to get along with them! ”
“To be honest, he is an annoyed person who is able to use black equipment, so let's stay away from him! The fourth was a skinny man sitting by the roadside, resting. That is, the person wearing a simple leather robe, with a wooden stick, on it grew leaf buds. ”
“I mean, ‘Although I'm not a good person, I happen to hate the villains’, right?”
“Quickly once.”
“It's okay. He is kind to you and wants to give you all the skills you need to be his successor. ”
Gerrard is very happy. However, after thinking twice, he shook his head and continued, “Although I also want to learn the Druid's abilities, I have already started serving His Majesty, I have already started to, and it is inappropriate to go with those who believe in a natural god.”
“That's a shame ..” Sui Xiong sighed and continued, the last “That was recorded was the one covered by the black dress that stood in the shadows by the roadside. He is truly evil to you and wants to use you as a resource, refine you, and make you a knight of death. ”
Gerrard stopped, turned around and looked at the direction Sui Xiong was pointing at, and actually saw a black-clothed man hiding in a corner, secretly peering at him. Looking at Gerrard, the man wearing the black dress pulled up his dress and covered his face.
“Your Majesty, that's it, right?”
“Quickly once.”
Gerrard immediately rushed towards the black-clothed man, shouting, “You necromancer who defies corpses, how dare you blame me?”
The man in black did not expect that he would be noticed, or recognized when he saw Gerrard in the distance, so he was suddenly startled at the exclamation. Seeing Gerrard rushing towards him, he, without hesitation, instantly activated the magic item that enveloped him in a circle of white light, and he disappeared without a trace.
“Damn it!” Gerrard followed him narrowly, but the man fled. He was very angry, and shouted, “This spell to send people to other places, and the caster was really cunning like a fish!”
“I can track where he went. Should I go after him? ”
Gerrard hesitated and gave a seductive suggestion, replying, “The place where witches are headed is most likely a magic trap, and may even be the headquarters of their organization. We'd better not get into that much trouble .. ”
This small conflict was inconspicuous, but attracted many people. The necromancer was clearly not weak, and in Pyroxene Town, he could be considered a notoriously tough man. However, in front of Gerrard, he did not even have the ability to fight, and even before he had time to chant his spell, he instantly used his life-saving ace.
Gerrard is too fast. The two were separated by the entire path, but he managed to ambush her within a few steps. And at such a distance, he could also find that the necromancer was plotting against him, and even the somewhat foolish of these giants seemed to have a keen awareness and an unusual agile reaction. Considering that his body was as strong as a wall, his strength would naturally not be weak, let alone his physical strength. Except for his intelligence, he might be extremely talented!
So the head of the guard who was wearing old armor went straight out of the temple and walked over to Gerrard. But before he reached Gerrard, the fruit seller had already approached him.
“Master, do you want to eat fruit?” He smiled in an honest way, and offered, “I can give you one piece for free.”
“Why?” Gerrard asked carefully.
“The necromancer betrayed by the corpse of the traitor is our enemy,” The salesman laughed and said, “You scared him, so you deserve this fruit.”
Gerrard shook his head, “I dare not eat your fruit.” Saying this, he left before the seller replied.
The seller stood there awkwardly. His eyes darkened for a while, but then he returned to his stall, sneering. When he returned to the stall, he had already returned his previous appearance, smiling honestly.
Gerrard did not leave long before the older chief of the temple guards came to him. “May a fair balance bless you with a reward for what you have done,” said, “Young man, because you are physically outstanding, are you interested in learning some fighting skills?”
“Sports? I can do that. ”Gerrard answers.
“But I believe that what you are good at is a crude and simple skill, such as aggressive attacks or jumping or cutting,” the old man said with a smile. “To be admitted, with your body, that skill is enough to make you famous, but why not learn something more advanced? I'm able to teach you some more efficient fighting skills that allow you to take down enemies faster and avoid hurting yourself. ”
“Open?” Gerrard laughed, picked up a short knife from the adventurous grocery store by the roadside, and cut off his own arm. The sharp blade cut through the helpless arm, making a dull sound like cutting hard wood. When he raised the knife and returned it to the adventurer, everyone noticed that his arm was still intact, even without a trace.
Seeing this, more than one person exclaimed, “Natural armor!”
