Cthulhu Gonfalons
Chapter 17
Natural armor, also known as protective skin, is called leather that is as strong as armor, and can also refrain from being sliced by a sword.
This was an extremely rare ability; except for demonic monsters that had powerful bodies, only hard-trained ascetics, or senior warriors who had experienced countless battles, could possess it.
When Sui Xiong made Gerrard's face, he made it look very young, like a young giant, so no one would think of it as a hermit soldier or senior soldier.
Since Gerrard isn't either, there will only be a last chance this seemingly young big man's— has a strength comparable to that of a demon monster!
How could this experienced person not be surprised to know such a talent ?!
The head of the guard of the Justice God temple could also tell who had the talent. Seeing Gerrard blocking the blade with his hand, he froze for a moment, but could not help but laugh.
“I underestimated you!” He laughed, with his white eyebrows slightly shaking. “So, are you interested in learning some advanced skills? For example, you can cut some people off by cutting once, or you don't need to recover after an attack before launching a second attack, and you can also use a light weapon to produce a heavy weapon effect, or use heavy weapons to produce a small arms effect. ”
Gerrard was very tempted by hearing this.
He was an experienced adventurer, but also knew many fighting skills, which were actually quite common. He had only heard, but had never seen, let alone learned, the skills mentioned by the guard head, such as “Tornado” Attacks, “Chain” Attacks, and “Guns That Will Be Controlled”.
For a warrior, the more advanced the fighting skills he knew, the stronger he was. Each of those top warriors could defeat the legendary monsters by using only one blade, and could keep themselves safe even when faced with a great power. Their perfect fighting strength was simply amazing.
If one could learn the skills mentioned by the guard chief, perhaps he could become stronger, and would not need the special protection of a god he trusted, let alone become a burden on His Majesty …
Thinking of this, he became interested, and would agree with the advice of the old guard chief. But after a second thought, he swallowed what he was about to say.
The god he served was not a god known to the wider public in this world, but a newborn god. However, to become an apprentice for others to learn the skill would certainly require staying in the temple of the God of Justice for a period of time. If others noticed something about that lack of devotion to the god, wouldn't that cause trouble for His Majesty?
He was horrified and politely declined the request.
The old guard chief, seeing that he was originally interested, but gave up for whatever reason, was unwilling to feel regret. However, as a person who believed in the God of Justice, he could not force others to learn from him. He told Gerrard to study at any time in the temple if he was interested, and he left disappointed.
Since the old man was prestigious in the city, his failure in gathering talent made others interested in Gerrard abandon their idea. Fortunately, this finally made Gerrard calm down. He roamed freely on the street, carrying a small bag, and subconsciously came to the front of the large wooden board.
This wooden sign was erected in the central square of the city, so the location was very striking. Large and small pieces of cloth with text or illustrations attached to the sign board. A very smart teenager stood guard next to him. From time to time one goes to observe it closely, and then goes to ask the young man about the details. Some people also gave him one or two silver coins, so he had a good business.
“What do they do?” Sui Xiong asked.
“Your Highness, it is a column of goods sought. All kinds of gifts big and small, without being haram, are released here. The man was from the Adventurers Association, and was responsible for the early stage contact. He also sells news. ”Gerrard is quite familiar with these things. After all, he himself was a risk-taker.
Sui Xiong roughly understood, and was curious about this work system. So he tried to observe the list of tasks on the wooden board. For a moment, he saw Gerrard's head on a piece of cloth.
There were two images on it of Gerrard's appearance from behind before his death, one was a face, and the other was a portrait of his entire body that was before. In general, the painter's skills were excellent; he accurately understood Gerrard's appearance by using a few punches, so that one could easily identify him. Sui Xiong felt that the painter, if he was going to travel to earth, could also survive by painting portraits at tourist attractions, such as one of his senior classmates, who was also bald.
However, his senior classmate, under the pen name Hua Siyuan, had a stall in Tiananmen Square, which was located in the Tiananmen Square, so his skills will be amazing considering he has a stall in the central place of a large country — he should be one of the leading painters on the road. In contrast, this man's portrait was at the most luxurious platinum level, and he could only have a stall on the Badaling Great Wall, struggling to earn money.
He could not help but laugh at this thought.
“Your Highness, what's funny?” Ask Gerrard.
Sui Xiong showed her a piece of cloth; “See, there is a desired notice for you.”
Gerrard calmly said without the slightest surprise, “Yes, there should still be a desired notice from me. Let me see ... Haha! The reward is really increasing! ”
There were a few lines of words below the portrait on a piece of cloth, which roughly described— “Loon, bald, guilty of attacking the aristocracy, which the Blue Moon Kingdom sought. Reward — thousand gold coins, acceptable with his head or verification of the Temple of the Trading God ”.
“When I was still an adventurer, I used a pseudonym; Loon. Most of us adventurers use pseudonyms to avoid trouble. At that time we had a team of six adventurers, and we were all good friends. After an adventure, a colleague's leg was broken because a demonic monster bit him, so we needed to make money so that he could receive treatment for his foot in the temple of God. That's why we're taking on the illegal duty of arms smuggling. But when the task was completed, the employer not only refused to pay us, but also wanted to kill us. My teammates all died, except me, “Gerrard summarizes the experience of conspiracy, betrayal, anger, and blood in the past with the simplest words possible,” A noble dies in battle … This must be the reason they are still chasing me. ”
Sui Xiong was silent for a short time and replied, “You did well! Is there an old rival of yours still alive? ”
“No, no animosity will remain more than one day among us adventurers.”
“Excellent!”
Gerrard scratched his head and smiled honestly.
“Your Highness, I suggest you take a look at these tasks, some of which may be suitable for us,” his suggestion. “To build a temple, to promote integrity and honesty, to train the sacred staff, this means to spend money.”
“I said earlier that I am not God, and do not need to spend this money ..”
“Quickly or later, you will spend it, and it is okay to get ready.”
Seeing Gerrard stubborn, Sui Xiong did not know of any solution. As a strong boss, the most feared are loyal but stubborn subordinates— One cannot hit him or convince him, especially when he says things like “bos, he said, I'm here to benefit you!” It was as if he was ready to die to serve his country. Except for the crazy ones, like the Yangdi emperor of the Sui dynasty, even that “great emperor” could only shake his head, sigh, and make concessions.
When they are silent, finding something to pass the time is not bad.
Since the decision to complete some tasks to make money was made, naturally, Sui Xiong looked directly at the highest-paid tasks. He looked at the top of the seemingly old piece gift column with no pattern, but only a few lines of words.
“Kill the Shadow Devil. Proved by the magic core, and the notary together issued by every temple of God. Gift — hundred thousand gold coins, plus two additional high-level magic items customized. Once verified, the magic core belonged to the killer. ”
“This task is good; one hundred thousand gold coins! ”
Gerrard glanced at him and shook his head, “The Demon Shadows are the most famous monsters in the eastern part of the Ashes Forest, and at least it is a legendary monster, who is most likely a god. There are many ways to make money, why should we risk our lives by fighting with a demigod for money? ”
“Demigod ... Very strong creature, right?” Sui Xiong could not help but become a little interested, because after making space travel, he had yet to find a truly equal opponent.
According to Gerrard's words, he predicted that he might as well be a strong person at the demigod level. Demigod vs. demigod; it would certainly be a very good fight.
“Your Majesty, we really don't need to provoke that person!” Gerrard's anxious, “It's not worth it! Even if you want to find and face an opponent, you might as well fight with ‘Skeleton Devourer’, because he is the one you can face. The Shadow Devil, on the other hand, was a famous demon, and he would definitely plan something dangerous! ”
Sui Xiong, sighed, stopped talking about this topic. He got it; if he insisted on fighting that shadow demon, perhaps Gerrard would choose suicide rather than try to stop it.
He thinks— “What to do with subordinates who are too loyal? Very urgent, I am waiting for an answer online. ”
Oh ... There is no internet here!
Sui Xiong easily eliminates this task, and finds that there are several other expensive tasks in the column, one of which looks nice—
“The evil dragon's mistress, ‘Arctic Tyrant’, who lives in the mountains near Thunder-Dragon City. After you deport him, you must go to the Dragon Cave for confirmation by bringing three sacred staffs from three different temples, including the God of Justice. The reward for this task was 5000 gold coins. Moreover, if you don't need reinforcements, you can enjoy all the dragon cave treasures. ”
Gerrard did not mind this task. As far as he knew, most dragons bullied the weak, but were afraid of the strong. Since His Majesty, “Void Mask”, is so powerful, he could repel the evil dragon and force him to change his residence, as long as he did not take the treasure in the cave. In general, it was not difficult to obtain these five thousand gold coins.
Paying the silver coins, they obtained some information from the members of the Adventurers Association, and ascertained the approximate location of the dragon cave. Then, after Gerrard bought some necessities for living in the wild, they were ready to leave Pyroxene City for Thunder-Dragon City.
However, he was not far from Pyroxene City when he stopped.
A train falls on the ground, and a group of chaotic businessmen stop them.
