Cthulhu Gonfalons
Chapter 18
The city of Pyroxene was built near the mountains. It was surrounded by them on three sides, and only one street provided access to the city. The road was not wide, and could only accommodate two carriages.
Right now, the fallen carriage was blocking the way, and cutting off the path of a group of merchants who were trying to pick up the carriage in a hurry. Pedestrians are also hindered, unable to advance or retreat. The scene was chaotic, voices shouting and fighting people mixed. Some angry people are even ready to fight.
“What seems to be the problem ?!” Gerrard approached them, frowning. Despite the noise, the crowd parted ways to make way for Gerrard when they saw how big he was. But he did not know that among the crowd, a pair of evil eyes were staring at him.
“Accident” on this road is actually arranged by the Vice President of the Pyroxene City Thief Association, to test the power and character of the giant. He was always very careful in doing things, sure he knew the details of his target before he acted.
The fallen carriage had been loaded with iron ore. Although the cargo was scattered on the ground, his body was not damaged, so the building materials were definitely quite dense. However, the horse, which pulled the carriage, had been injured.
Gerrard, frowning, flipped the half-filled carriage by just holding the frame and exerting a little force. It surprised the people around him. Some of them stared, dumbfounded, and some even pinched their cheeks, thinking that this was a dream.
These wagons use enough material, because the shaft of the load-bearing part is hardwood that is as thick as the arm. The cargo on this carriage was ore, which was known to be very heavy. Therefore, transport with this cargo may be 1500 to 2000 kilograms. However, to this giant, there seemed to be no burden, as if he could lift it with one hand.
“This guy has great power!” Excite someone.
“He deserves on behalf of giants!” Others are amazed.
Some experienced adventurers were even more surprised; the giant tribe had incredible natural strength, but even the most kind of giant, known as the “Giant of Mount”, had great natural strength, it can only lift about 1,000 to 1,500 kilograms. It was impossible for any giant to flip a half-charged carriage as if it was made of straw! In other words, this big man was not only a giant, but also a high-level adventurer.
Senior adventurers tend to be much stronger than ordinary people, but even among adventurers, only those who emphasize strength can have the strength of thousands of Newtons more than the average person. When considering that this was compared to an ordinary giant, it was even more terrifying.
Because ... The more perfect the innate condition a race has, the slower its growth.
Looking at Gerrard's appearance, “grey”'s eyes trembled slightly, feeling as if his legs had become soft. Right now, he felt extremely lucky to have taken some thieves, rather than the criminals from the Thief Association. Otherwise, those nobles, who even had muscles in their brains, would plan to launch an attack once Gerrard left in front of the carriage.
What is the difference with dating death !?
This big fellow was a giant, who was also a powerful adventurer. Although he had an ordinary racial background, the strength of thousands of Newtons was enough to prove his strength. Can “Quick” Knife beat him? Even if all the members of the Pyroxene City Thief Association, young and old, joined together, they still might not be able to defeat him …
Gerrard had no idea that someone was plotting against him, or how much terror he had aroused his enemies. Right now, he was concentrating on the old horse on the ground.
This horse is gray, with many old and new wounds that indicate the difficulties it has experienced. It tried hard to stand up, but its efforts were in vain. Observed carefully, it looks like his spine is broken. It could not move both of its hind legs while its front legs were still struggling. His eyes were full of pain and sadness. Very depressing.
Gerrard sighed; neither man nor horse could survive this injury. The only thing they could do was to relieve the pain. Since his resurrection, he has become more sensitive to the pain of others, and compassion has grown. However, no matter how sympathetic he was, he could not help the poor cattle.
“Do you want to save it?” Sui Xiong asked.
Gerald was surprised and asked, “Your Majesty, are you willing to help this poor person?”
Sui laughed, and said cheerfully, “To be honest, I don't have much sympathy for animals, but I want to help you if you want to save her.”
“Your Majesty, your virtue is as warm as the sun!”
“Well, don't flatter me, put your hand on the horse wound, and I'll mobilize your magic through the bone bracelet to heal it.” Sui Xiong said with a smile, “To be honest, this person has been very seriously injured, and I am not so sure about his recovery. But I can try, which is better than letting him die. ”
Gerrard, as Sui had instructed him, crouched down and put his hands wearing a bone bracelet on the back of a gray horse. Then the blood in Gerrard's body was stirred to move some of the magic in the magical core to the grey horse's body. Under Sui Xiong's control, this magical power was like a small and ingenious machine that shed the bones that were released from this injured horse, and rebuilt the muscles, blood vessels, and blood vessels, and the nerves are severed before finally turning them into functional parts. His body was revitalized, body growth was promoted, and the injured part was repaired. In just half a minute, the gray horse that was originally dying, cheerfully curled up and stood up again.
“My Lord! What did I just see ?! ”seru someone.
“Dan ... healing magic from priests comes from the gods, but which gods are so generous as to use their magic to heal horse wounds? Is he a Centaur God? ”
“Bah! The Centaur God is a demon! He will only ask believers to arrest people for blood sacrifice .. ”
“Is he Druid?”
“I've never heard of Druids among giants ..”
“But I have also never heard of the priest among the giants.”
“Those Druids will not use their spells to save a horse at all, and they will just put it to sleep. Have you ever been with a Druid? ”
Amidst the crowd, the gray-eyed man, with his eyes wide open like pigeon eggs, stared at the bone bracelet on Gerrard's wrist.
Due to the need to assist Gerrard in making spells, Sui Xiong's strength is shown through a bone bracelet.
“There was a very strong will on that bracelet, and it was so powerful that it could even produce healing spells! No, it is not a normal healing spell, but a magical recovery spell that can even heal broken bones and severed muscles, and even recover severed hands and feet! The horse's spine must have been broken before, but it healed so quickly .. This giant was not a priest; he was blessed by the divine! It is God that he believes takes action! And bone bracelets are sacred objects of their denomination! Oh my God, how I want to steal a sacred object, where the will of a true god lives! Fortunately, I did not take action ... It was definitely the golden finger — God Thief — bless me. And just because of that I did not make a fatal mistake ... “He suddenly realized that, and quickly closed his eyes, afraid to see that bone bracelet where the will of the true god lives. Instead, he turned around and left. Before he left, he did not forget to send a message to the subordinates to ask them to retreat. After a while, he returned to the Pyroxene City Thief Association and reported this to the president with a pale face.
“What?! A sacred thing where the will of the true god lives ?! “The old man, always calm, also afraid even his heart skipped a beat,” Are you sure that you are not wrong? ”
“Of course!” The vice president assured him. “What do you think the spell is, because it heals a broken bone in such a short time?”
Before the president spoke, the vice president continued, “Recovery! It was a magic more advanced than the healing and healing magic that ordinary priests could cast. Even a strong priest would have to hold the sacred emblem and pray for a while before it was cast. And Druids? They had only used this spell longer, but the giant had directly eliminated this process. The only explanation was that the magic was not cast by him, but the desire inside the bone bracelet. ”
“Maybe ... that bone bracelet is a powerful magic item that can produce equivalent healing recovery effect ..” The President mused. “Although I have never heard of such a magic item, maybe a Druid can make something like this ..”
The gray-eyed man continued to shake his head and insisted, “President, no matter how powerful the magic item is, the daily casting amount is limited. As for recovery, it is estimated once or twice a day. If you had such a treasure, would you waste it on taking care of the horse? ”
“Of course not!”
“Yes, not even the most generous person, when they will leave a safe place for the dangerous, will be very wasteful.” The vice president breathed. “Only those who have infinite magic can be so indifferent to throw it away.”
For a moment, the cottage was silent. The president and vice president of the Pyroxene City Thief Association looked at each other in dismay. After a while, the president laughed blankly and said, “Fortunately, we haven't had time to attack them.”
“Iya! Fortunately, we didn't have time to attack him. “Vice president exclaims happily,” Thank God! ”
“Wait, I have another idea.” The sly president looked to the side, and came up with a bad idea. “How do you like it .. if we reveal some of this news to our old rivals. What will happen?”
The gray-eyed man's eyes slowly turned bright, and a smile appeared on his face. She laughs. “President, that idea is very clever! Since those people are greedy and vicious, they will actually attack this loner giant .. ”
“That's why I'm president, while you're vice president!” The president also joked, “I can't wait to see that b*stard hit a rock and hit their head!” Inside the cabin, two cunning foxes laughed together .
On the road outside the city, Sui Xiong told Gerrard, “Be careful, some people are spying on you. Maybe they want to conspire against you. They retreated after finding your strength incredible. ”
Sui had better sense than Gerrard, and she felt the hostility of the members of the Thief Association almost at the beginning. Just because they were not trying to kill Gerrard, and were not acting, he felt too lazy to get rid of them. But that doesn't mean that the necessary reminders aren't necessary.
He finds Gerrard, a bald man (no, in fact, he's not yet bald) getting pleasing to the eye. And of course, he did not want these helpful subordinates to suffer losses. In fact, he discovered that Gerrard looked extremely strong!
