Cthulhu Gonfalons

Chapter 22

The defeated Orc and Wolf cavalry had left behind two huge piles of trash that might pollute the environment, so the clever young witch Palin managed to recycle some very valuable objects from the trash can.

Two broken mage robes needed to be repaired; once repaired, the robe would give the wearer an affinity for Fire Energy. Judging from this, the two Orc magicians might specialize in practicing Fire spells.

There were also two broken magic sticks that could increase the range. There was no point in repairing them, but the two almost intact magic gemstones were quite precious — even, the most valuable item in the range enhancement magic wand was a magic gemstone. The stick itself was just a piece of carved wood, which was not difficult to make.

He also discovers an unbroken Space Pocket that belongs to the second Orc witch killed, which holds a lot of money. This person was probably the leader among the three Orc witches and Jefecito in the bandit gang. He had hundreds of gold coins as well as some extremely valuable gemstones, which might be worth a total of two thousand gold coins. The Space Pocket itself, which was a sophisticated object that could reduce the weight of the items it contained, might be worth five to six hundred gold coins.

Apart from these five things, the rest was just a pile of nonsense. Palin tried her best to sort out the objects used by the two mages to train the incantations, but she only managed to obtain the objects that were worth at most two gold coins.

“Already, it's dark!” Shouted Gerrard, looking at Palin holding a torch and trying to find something precious from a pile of disgusting meat. Gerrard felt a little sympathy for him and shouted to him, “If you don't have the night, you will feel lethargic tomorrow!”

Palin thought a lot about Gerrard, so she said yes and came back sad.

“They specialize in practicing Fire spells; they should at least have amulets made of red crystal with them – but I did not find it, “ Palin said guilty. “It must be due to my lack of knowledge about magic, otherwise I would definitely be able to recognize it!”

“It's okay, you're still very young. It's been very good for you to be able to find so many objects! “Gerrard smiled and comforted him, and he gave Palin a magic gemstone and two robes. “This is for you. The robe only needs a little repair and it will be fine, and you can make a magic wand with magic gemstones. ”

“... But this is your spoils of war, I can't possibly take it!” Palin was dazed and refused to accept it.

Gerrard shrugged and said happily, “Then, make my investment a great magician who will soon become, and when you become strong, you can return this favor to me.”

Palin hesitated for a moment, and finally accepted the gift. Even she knew clearly that even if she became an advanced mage one day, she would never help “White Brother”. He was extremely strong, and Palin would only be able to help him when he crossed the boundaries of the human body and stepped into the legendary world of immortals.

“White Brother, I wonder if I can ask you a question ..” Old Soth bowed and hesitated.

“Ask only. If I have the answer, I'll tell you. ”

After obtaining Gerrard's permission, Old Soth still hesitated a little. He looked around and whispered, “You have entered into ‘Legendary’ World, right?”

Gerrard was dazed for a moment. He wanted to shake his head, but he wasn't sure if No was the right answer, so he started to ponder.

What does it mean to be legendary?

As Gerrard himself recalled, the so-called legendary status meant the ability to transcend the limits of the human body; to be free from birth, simplicity, disease and death; and to be free from the; to be immortal and extremely powerful; the ability to determine the fate of a country of its own; basically, to be a very powerful human being standing on the checkered boxes of the world, he said, able to affect the situation in every country around the world.

So, am I a man with such strength?

For me freedom from old age and death is realistic. Actually, I'm dead. My body is Oscar's creation: even if it ages or breaks, His Majesty can definitely repair or rebuild it. Judging from this, I am indeed free from old age and death.

As for being extremely strong, I think I am qualified in this as well. It was true that I had not realized this before, but the more battles I had, the more I felt how powerful this body was. I can run faster than a horse; I have shown greater strength than a bear or a tiger; my body is as strong as armor; and even if I am hit by a powerful spell, he said, my body can hold it and I am not injured but only suffer from minor scratches on my skin .. If this does not mean I am strong, then what is strong?

So I'm already a legendary man with great power?

He stretched out his hand and looked at the rough palm, large and thick, feeling very surreal.

A few days ago, he was still a wanted criminal, hiding in a small, desolate village on the edge of civilized society and living a poor life. There, he was pushed aside by the village lord, and his life was dull and very little.

But now, a few days later, he had completely changed. He became very powerful, and this was something he never dared to dream of; he had also become the first great follower of God who could foresee the future. Now he would be able to live a very rich life. All of these are prizes given by the Oscars.

The giant finally managed to think about this and felt relieved. Then he smiled calmly. “I don't know if I really fit into the category called legendary,” he replied in a very low voice, “but I believe that I have found the right path. As long as I continue walking on this path, I will reach legendary status one day. ”

Old Soth and Palin feel the change in Gerrard. Now he was breathing steadily, like the beautiful mountains that were in a certain place, firm and motionless. It's all very admirable, something they've never seen before in Gerrard.

Perhaps Gerrard is not legendary, but one thing is certain: he has indeed grown stronger mentally and stepped into a powerful world.

That night, the experienced Old Soth recalled the giant's calm face and started laughing. He has witnessed an important step in “birth” of a powerful legendary man, and this is a story he can show off to his descendants so that it can become part of family history. He believed that if he could befriend such a powerful and legendary man, it would definitely be beneficial to his family!

Thinking about this, he sighed. I'm so envious! If only I could also become a powerful legendary man ..

Meanwhile, young Palin did not think as much as Old Soth did. He just smiled, cheered himself on, and decided to become a brilliant magician one day, becoming as strong as White Brother.

The fire of inspiration has been ignited and will burn in the hearts of this young man in the years to come. No doubt this will be his motivation to survive in the future. Whether he will end up as strong as Gerrard in the future, he will still feel proud and happy when he remembers this moment at the end of his life.

While Old th and Palin were smiling, “Bloody Hand” Ruhr paced around anxiously, like a savage beast kept in a cage. He is not an inexperienced fool. He already knew how powerful Gerrard was, and it worried him to make an enemy of such a powerful person. But when he thought of the legendary precious thing that Gerrard had with him, he became greedy again.

On one hand, this was the greatest crisis he had ever faced; on the other, this was his chance to obtain a legendary precious object. Ruhr now did not know what he should do next.

“Old Burke, what do you think?” Ask his adviser, Shaman, who is also the second person in charge of the bandit gang.

The shaman was the oldest and most experienced man in this bandit group. After being asked, he remained silent as usual and did not give any valuable advice.

This is exactly what the Ruhr expected to react to. Ruhr was walking around the temporary camp and faced a dilemma. On the one hand, he wanted to retreat for the sake of gang security; on the other, he wanted to risk everything he had. So he bet.

“That bloody pickpocket! I know they will never be as good as bringing me good news for free! ”He complains, feels annoyed and upset finding himself in this dilemma.

He had lost two witches, including the leader of the witches under his command. This was a huge loss for the bandit gang. But he would feel very sorry if he gave up now, because it would also ruin the morale of the gang (not to mention its reputation).

He thought of waiting for a better chance to snatch the precious thing the giant had with him. He could not decide whether to take this last chance when it occurred to him that the giant was as strong as a war god.

“If I order them to enter into a life-and-death struggle with the giants now, they will probably run for their lives soon ..” He sighed deeply, he sighed deeply, then find the tree stump and sit down. He rubbed his forehead and started to ponder.

Surrendering is far from a good idea, while fighting rashly regardless of the consequences is also not good. What do I have to do to get what I want? Ruhr spent the whole night thinking about this.

For years, “Bloody Hand” Ruhr was proud of his ability to be heartless, ruthless, and smart. He had always hated people who traveled all over the country relying on their wisdom and intelligence, but now he hated himself for not being smart and failing to come up with a perfect solution.

He kept thinking and thinking and did not even realize that he was awake all night until the sun rose. Because she was so tense, she felt dizzy and stood up unsteadily, then decided to go to a nearby river to wash her face and feel refreshed. At that time, the scouts who had been tracking the movements of the commercial corps returned.

“Bos, they're leaving again. Looks like they're heading to Gold-Panning Town. ”

“I saw. Let's follow behind them. Remember, do not get close to them until the right time arrives, ”command Ruhr. This helped his subordinates relax and slightly comfort the camp members.

When a gang of criminals walks past a village in the distance, where commercial soldiers were camped out the day before, the Ruhr suddenly comes up with an idea. It's not very practical, but there's no harm in trying. If he succeeded, he might be able to make a lot of money!

He asked a subordinate to come over and whisper something silently in his ear. The green face of his subordinates immediately turned white, and he shook his head so hard that his head almost fell.

“I just ask you to send a letter, what are you afraid of!”

However, the subordinate still shook his head and looked frightened to death. After being threatened by the Ruhr and persuaded by the promise of great wealth, the subordinate reluctantly agrees to follow orders. Then with a fearless expression on his face, he went with the wolves to catch up with the commercial corps.

“OK, let's stop here,” Ruhr said to his subordinates. “We can stop now; if everything goes well, the giant will come to us. ”

The group of bandits instantly became alert and confused, and Ruhr could see it on their faces. This made him so angry that he wanted to cut off their heads one by one!

After a while, the subordinate who was sent to relay the message back, and right behind him was an intimidating giant, who walked over rather casually.

“Big men!” Ruhr yells. “I want to do business with you!”
