The sailboat continued to sail east by the coastline for several hours, the old captain had been looking for a place to dock, the hull had been severely damaged due to the wind and waves a few days ago, if it was not repaired in time, it was very likely that a shipwreck would occur, and when the day was just dawning, the old captain finally commanded the crew to anchor and dock along a beach, and the crew put down the dinghy and carried us to land, and the travelers, who had been listless for several days because they had not found land, were all full of energy, and everyone cheered for the safe landing of the ship

I picked up my luggage, followed the crew, and went down to the dinghy together, looking at the scenery on the shore, I felt that there was a big difference between this place and Yamunah, compared to the cold and dryness of Yamunah, it seemed warm and humid, the green forest on the shore grew luxuriantly, and from time to time there was a birdsong in the forest, which I had never heard before.

Our group finally landed in a dinghy, and the group scrambled to jump onto land, and some even jumped into the icy waters and waded ashore. When we got to the shore, everyone cheered and thanked God for not letting us die at the bottom of the sea. When everyone had come ashore, the old captain called them all and said, "Gentlemen, congratulations on all of you on your safe ashore and on not falling into the sea for a shark's dinner." ”

Everyone laughed.

"I know some of you were eager to skin me the other day because I got lost in the sea and almost made you food for the Kraken. The old captain continued, "But for now, I can tell you unequivocally that we have arrived in Calradia. ”

After saying that, there was another burst of laughter in the crowd.

"Okay, no more gossip. The captain said. "Ahead is the plain of Lausanne, and I was supposed to take you to Sagos, but you know it. My ship is damaged and must be repaired immediately, which may take days, and from here a few hours south is the city of Wocheze, where I know a few business associates, all of whom are local figures, and I can entrust you to Sagos. ”

The old captain did not react when he saw the crowd. Then he asked, "How, gentlemen?"

Then a man who was seven feet tall replied, "I'll listen to you." ”

I knew this man, and I noticed him when I was on the boat. With a handsome face and a tall and sturdy body, he always wears the fish scale armor on his body, and always carries the 130-centimeter-long giant sword and fan-shaped shield on his back. He also had a winghead staff pinned to his waist. Even when he sleeps, he puts his sword next to his pillow, and at first glance he knows that he is a mercenary. As soon as he replied, a few guys around him also said to go to the nest.

I said, "Listen to you, captain, and instead of sitting here waiting for you to fix the ship, it is better to go to the Woche rule now." ”

After everyone agreed, the captain arranged for the crew to repair the sailboat, and then set off with us, and I followed the captain with my luggage. Along the way, the captain told us about the history and geography of Calradia, as well as the legends of the kings and nobles.

The group walked along the path in the forest for more than an hour. The captain beckoned everyone to take a break. Hungry travelers sat on the ground, gasping for air, drinking and eating.

I sat down against a large tree, which I had never seen before, and the morning fog had not yet lifted, and there was a white expanse all around, and the captain summoned everyone to gather together, lest they get lost.

I was resting against the tree, when the man came up to me and handed me his kettle, and said, "Friend, take a drink." ”

I took his kettle, hesitated for a moment, and then gulped down. Later, she gave him back the kettle.

He said, "Friend, I saw a giant sword in your luggage, I wonder if I have this giant sword on my back, can you lend it to me." ”

I took out the giant sword from my duffel bag and gave it to him, and he looked at it carefully with both hands, and his mouth was still smacking. He swung the sword a few times, and finally he gave it back to me and said, "My name is Kenrad, friend, and you are there." ”

"Alan Parker," I said.

"Oh, hello, Alan. He continued, "I think you look like a man who knows the sword, are you interested in joining my mercenary army, and look at the people over there, they are all my men." As he spoke, he pointed to the men over there who were dressed like him.

I glanced at him, and then said, "People like you, whoever gives you money will fight for whomever you want, all for money, never morality, you better go to someone else, I don't do mercenaries." ”

When he heard this, he laughed, and then said: " You're right, we all work hard for money, not emotional, but think about it, in this troubled world, people cannibalistic society, if you don't kill others, others will also come to kill you, to live is to let those bullies and robbers bully and oppress, those nobles who ride tall horses and wear gorgeous clothes will care about the life and death of our poor people, blindly only know pleasure and oppress us, rather than live for a lifetime, I would rather only serve for money, and it is better to die on the battlefield than to be squeezed to death. ”

I was silent for a moment, and was about to speak when the captain suddenly became alert. The captain motioned for us to be quiet, and everyone obeyed the captain's command to be quiet.

By this time everyone knew why the captain wanted us all to be quiet: there was a sound of hurried footsteps in the jungle, and the sound did not come from one direction, and as the sound got closer and closer, everyone held their breath, and I felt the air freeze instantly. Kenrad motioned for his men to prepare for battle, and I took my greatsword from my baggage

A moment, two moments, three moments, time is passing by minute and second, everyone's nerves are highly tense, at this time, a little relaxation, you feel that you are in danger of dying in Huangquan.

And the other party seemed to have discovered that his whereabouts had been discovered, so the footsteps were much quieter, and in the end there was even no footsteps. I feel like it's like hunting, where the hunter gets closer to the prey step by step, when the prey is at its most relaxed. Dealing a fatal blow to him, unfortunately I feel like I'm the hunter's prey at this point.

A group of us sat in a circle, our eyes scanning our surroundings. Wait until everyone wants to relax. Suddenly, a foreign object flew in the jungle and flew straight towards the front door of a teammate, and in an instant, the teammate fell down in response, blood splattered, and his face was directly cut open. It turned out to be a shining silver axe slashing at the door in front of them.

Suddenly there was a loud shout in the jungle, countless throwing axes and javelins roaring towards us, and the screeching sound of sharp arrows piercing the air. Many of us have been hit in the feet and hands by throwing axes and javelins. The old captain shouted, "It's Haikou." Be careful, everyone. With that, I saw a javelin plunged directly into the captain's left arm, and the captain screamed, and swung his weapon with his right hand to fend off the flying javelin.

I swung my greatsword to fend off the flying axes. While looking for trees as cover. Kenrad commanded his mercenary regiment to use shields against enemy throwing weapons. At this time, dozens of pirates rushed towards us in the jungle, some with swords and shields, some with two-handed axes, and some with bows and arrows to shoot us.

After the enemy's throwing weapons were used up, I took the giant sword and turned around and slashed at a pirate who happened to pass by, and he fell down directly because he was defenseless, and became a ghost under my sword, at this time a pirate in front of me saw that his companion was killed. Roaring at me, I raised my greatsword and slashed at his head. Seeing this, this guy immediately raised his shield and let my sword cut directly to his shield, I immediately withdrew the giant sword and slashed with a swing, because the shield only protected the front, the side was empty, and my giant sword was cut directly to the waist, screamed, and fell to the ground.

"Alan, be careful," Kenrad yelled at me.

I looked up not far ahead, a pirate was pulling out a sharp arrow from the quiver and aiming at me, I immediately turned over, picked up the shield I had just slashed the pirate, protected my head and chest, and said that it was too late, and the arrow hit the shield just right. I dropped my shield and immediately swooped down, holding a giant sword in both hands and stabbing this guy directly into the chest

At this time, Kenrad and his mercenaries were also fighting fiercely with the pirates, and I rushed over to help them fight, and suddenly I felt a blow to the back of my head, and then I felt dizzy, and I collapsed to the ground

Gradually, I closed my eyes, and although I wanted to open them, I couldn't control them anymore.

All I heard was the call of "Allen, Allen".

When I woke up, I was already lying in the tavern of Wocheze, I opened my eyes and looked at the ceiling, and saw that this room was a wooden house, I turned my head to look around and saw that there was no one in the room, I tried to raise my head and try to get up and sit down

But as soon as I moved my head, I felt a swelling and pain in the back of my head, and I tried several times, but I still couldn't sit up.

At this time I heard the sound of the door of the room opening, and a person walked in, and a familiar face appeared in front of me. Kenrad.

"You're awake," said Kenrad.

I hummed and asked, "Where is this?"

"You've been in a coma all day, you're hungry," he said, handing me a loaf of bread, "friend, your life is really big, do you know how you got knocked out?"

I was also puzzled, so I asked, "How did you get knocked out?"

When he saw that I was puzzled, he said, "I was frightened when an axe hit you in the back of the head, and then we thought you were dead." ”

I said, "Why didn't I die when the axe hit me in the back of the head?"

Kenrad continued, "How else to say that you kid is lucky, when we have repelled the pirates, I ran to your side to take a look, and found that your kid still has breath, I touched the back of your head and found no blood, it turned out that the back of the axe hit you instead of the axe."

Otherwise, you would have seen God sooner. ”

As soon as I heard him say this, I also felt that my life was too good. Then I asked, "How did you get out of the pirates?"

At this time, the old captain also came in, and he said: "It was Kenrad and his mercenaries who repelled the pirates, and they saved our lives, it seems that the pirates are only a small army, and their large army should not have gone to sea now, otherwise we would have become him a long time ago."

We're stabbing on the hell. ”

After listening to the old captain's words, I thanked Kenrad, and felt that I should not have belittled their mercenaries like that.

But Kenrad was a very cheerful man, and he didn't mention to me that I was disparaging them.

The old captain then said, "I have arranged for my business partner, and he has promised to send you to Sargos at no additional charge, and you will be able to take their merchant ship to Sargos at noon to-day." ”

"After a few days of delay, I'm going back to my ship," he continued

Kenrad and I thanked him, and he returned the salute, turned and left

After sailing on the sea for several hours, the ship finally arrived at the port of Sargos at sunset, and looked out into the city from the port, which looked majestic and atmospheric against the backdrop of the setting sun, as if telling us about the splendor and wealth of the imperial capital.

When we arrived at the Tavern of Sagoth, it was already dark, the streets were long deserted, and only a few town guards patrolled back and forth, and Kenrad and I arrived at the tavern, where there were only a few drinkers in the hall of the tavern.

I went straight to the counter and asked the boss, "Boss, are there any rooms?" ”

The boss looked up at me, then said with a smile, "Of course, how many rooms do you want?" ”

I said, "Five!" and asked, "How much?"

"Five upper rooms, each 10 dinars a night, a total of 50 dinars," said the owner.

I pulled money out of my pocket and threw it on the counter.

The tavern owner quickly collected the money and beckoned the man to take us to the room.

I moved into my room, and Kenrad and a few of his men moved into the other rooms. After a few days of running around, I felt exhausted and fell asleep

After a while, I heard a knock on the door, and I asked, "Who?"

"It's me, my lord, the tavernkeeper"

"What's the matter?" I asked

"My lord, the security in the city has not been safe recently, in the middle of the night, don't walk around the street at the end of the day."

The boss said.

I groaned and turned back to sleep, mocking my boss for his timidity

I don't know how long I slept, but I woke up in the middle of the night, and I got up and lay down on the bed and remembered something, I remembered the boat that left Yamunah a few days ago, I remembered the storm I encountered on the ship, I remembered the things that I had been robbed by the pirates, and the more I thought about it, the more I couldn't sleep, I got up

I got out of bed, picked up my saber, opened the door to my room, and walked out

I came out into the street, and the night in Sagos was very cold, as is probably the case in all cities, and after a busy day during the day, it was time to rest and recharge for tomorrow's busyness. The streets were all dark and dark, with only the occasional oil hanging from the door

lights, and occasionally a dog barking came from nowhere

I had walked a few streets, and just as I was about to return to the tavern, I suddenly noticed a dark figure walking towards me, and I thought that perhaps it was a man who had come out to relax like me, and was about to go up and greet him. I didn't expect one to make me

The sound of hair standing on end came from over there?? It was the piercing sound of a sword unsheathed (to be continued......)
