While walking among the palace, George felt the exotic scenery that he had never experienced before, and at the same time, he did not miss the matter of looking for Wozak. However, after asking about it, he discovered that the legend had been circulating among the guards. The story of the barbarians' first arrival in Akatani. No matter where they go, as long as they quietly fill a bottle of wine and ask about Wozak, these dwarf warriors wearing cold armor will immediately become warm and hospitable. He got up and left the guarding of the palace to the half-tall golden puppet behind him, while he sighed and ran over to chat with George about the anecdotes they had seen or heard.
"Wozak? That's a real warrior! He drove the huge thunderbird, starting from the mountains of Staffgard, crossing the Miluo Mountains across the border, and flying over the top of the great Akan's snow-capped mountains, like Like a god, he descended to Akatani just to personally inform the queen of the emergency situation of the undead canopy leaking."
"I will never forget that day. All the magic towers in Akatani were shining with the light of magic. The genie troops who rushed to the scene were floating in the sky like clouds in the sky. The Titans who were cultivating in the Cloud Temple were all Alerted, it was not until Her Majesty the Queen came in person and confirmed the identity of the other party again and again that the alarm was lifted."
…
"My servant, these dwarfs are so defenseless against strangers. Do you think someone will take the opportunity to poison the wine?"
Accompanying George, watching the dwarf warrior talking loudly and drinking heavily, Miss Sirna suddenly and quietly sent a message to George.
"My lovely eldest lady, have you forgotten the description of the dwarves by the Elf King in the Natural Law Scroll?"
George smiled and quietly gave her a teasing look.
"Who...who said I forgot?! How dare you doubt my memory? I'll write it down in my notebook first, and I'll deal with you later! Hmph!"
Like a cat whose tail has been stepped on, Miss Hilna expressed strong dissatisfaction and protest to George in her mental space. Her claws and claws were in a tone that was completely different from her noble and elegant temperament on the surface.
In fact, dwarves have an anti-magic physique comparable to that of barbarians. They can digest any magical toxins in their bodies like chewing peppers. It is precisely because of such strong physical fitness that they can Spending day and night beside the high-temperature and oxygen-deficient steel-making furnace, just to make a shocking weapon.
"Huh? You ask where Wozak is now? Go straight and turn right. You can see him after walking a few hundred meters."
The wine that George brought from the table was not much, and the dwarf warrior seemed to be a little unenjoyed. He drank the wine bottle to the top in a few times, shook it, shook it, and pressed his big pea-sized eyes tightly. He reached the spout of the jug and after double-checking that not a drop of alcohol had survived, he licked his lips. The smell of wine remaining on his lips flowed into his mouth through the ice shards that had just formed on his beard, and then he happily drank. He hiccupped and returned to his original post as if nothing had happened.
"Oh, by the way, I heard that Wozak seemed to be in a bad mood yesterday. It seems that the tribesmen who followed his trail alerted the guards when they wanted to enter the great Arkan's country. As a result, they got into trouble with some nosy person. The nobles had a conflict and someone died. The queen finally settled the matter. Don't make him unhappy again. If the two barbarians go crazy together, there will be no one in the palace to wipe your butts."
As if he thought of something, after George walked a few steps away, the dwarf warrior added this sentence to George's back.
Wozak's tribe?
George secretly chewed the words of the dwarf warrior in his heart, and then disappeared from the sight of the dwarf warrior.
…
The dwarf warrior's guidance saved George a lot of time, but when he approached the palace where Wozak was staying, he happened to encounter a scene where he was teaching his tribesmen a lesson——
He was a barbarian who was too young, with unstoppable youthfulness between his eyebrows and eyes, but the large and small scars on his body told of his combat experience. He was not as young as he looked. The snowflakes in the sky above Akahtani , couldn't help but float to his plush leather vest, and to his exposed muscles and tattoos.
He just knelt down quietly, with a thick layer of snowflakes accumulating on his body, while Wozak stood beside him, his gray beard and hair tips also covered with traces of white snow.
"My little friend over there, please come over. There's nothing to be shy about."
Just when George was in a dilemma, wondering whether to disturb Wozak, the other party took the lead and made a choice for George with a voice as loud as a bell.
It was only when George got closer that he noticed that in front of the young savage, lay the body of a huge saber-toothed tiger. The saber-toothed tiger's waist was tied with a saddle made of fur, the reins had been broken, and its limbs, waist and abdomen They were all covered with mud, and it seemed that it had traveled a long distance. There were scars all over its body, most of which were old wounds, and a few were new, but all of them were fatal.
Judging from the appearance of the saber-toothed tiger's wounds, they were similar to the wounds on the young barbarian. They were both small and deep sword wounds. By coincidence, it was very popular among the nobles of the great Arkan to carry thin soft stabbing swords close to their bodies. As a status symbol, it also serves as a dueling weapon.
Obviously, the weapon that caused such wounds was this kind of sword, and the murderer was self-evident, and it was the local noble of Akatani.
Since wild beasts move quickly, have rough skin and thick flesh, their biggest weaknesses are their low intelligence and single movements. Therefore, hunters usually use traps, traps, and large swords and axes to deal with wild beasts. Those who dare to fight wild beasts with thin and soft stabbing swords are not stupid. The ultimate is a person who is extremely confident in his swordsmanship. It seems that not only magicians gather in this city, but also people with strong martial arts skills are not uncommon.
Based on the observation of the corpse, combined with what the dwarf guard said before, George can already deduce the truth to nine out of ten——
This saber-toothed tiger should have been the young barbarian's mount during his lifetime. When Wozak soared in the sky on the Thunderbird, the young barbarian rode the saber-toothed tiger and followed Wozak's figure on a long journey to the great Akan, who was unfamiliar with the place, was stopped by the border guards for questioning. As a result, the saber-toothed tiger became frightened and ran away. When he found the saber-toothed tiger, the passing nobles had already killed their own mounts without knowing it.
So the two fought, one was killed and the other was injured.
Although Wozak is the king of a country, he is only visiting this country as a guest. From his standpoint, it is difficult to excuse the young man's impulsive killing.
"Any ideas?"
Wozak did not add a subject to his question, and it sounded like he was asking George or the young savage.
"King, I feel lost and sad."
The young man who said this had tears streaming down his face like a bursting dam.
"That hateful Akan did nothing wrong. Revenge cannot change Anan's death."
Anan should be the name of the saber-toothed tiger. George glanced at it again to confirm that the name was indeed engraved in the language of the barbarians on the saddle on the back of the saber-toothed tiger.
"Keep your feelings in mind, Kyle. Your father, Derek, was nearly consumed by vengeance when he was your age."
"King, can you tell me more about my father?"
"Of course. After I greet the guests, I will tell you the story of your father, Derek, and your mother, Anda."
After Wozak patted the snowflakes on the young barbarian's body, he turned around and looked directly at George, his eyes full of depth.
"King of the barbarians, Wozak, junior George has disturbed you, don't be afraid..."
"It seems that there is going to be big news in the plane conference this afternoon."
The other party was a king and an elder, so George took it for granted that he lowered his posture and greeted him nicely, but it was just cold. Wozak said such a meaningless sentence, interrupting George's opening remarks.
Um?
Big news?
What does this mean?
"Come on, little friend, before lunch starts, have a little chat with me."
Before George could chew Wozak's words carefully, the unexpected invitation from the other side completely disrupted George's rhythm.
Is it so exciting to meet for the first time?
Is this some barbarian custom?
Am I ignorant?
"This, this is not good..."
"Don't be stunned! Come on! Attack!"
Wozak's scolding interrupted George's thinking, and the battle-preparing posture of this barbarian inadvertently aroused George's fighting spirit.
Even though the body is just a projection of magic, the technical level of fighting will not make George unable to perform. In terms of archery, George has received the guidance of the Elf King's master-level archery. In terms of close combat, George is also eager to , can compete with top opponents!
Prepare for battle, lower your center of gravity, sprint, and hold your legs in a low position, all in one go!
Faced with an opponent whose strength was far superior to his own, George did not choose to defend cautiously. Instead, he seized the opportunity to attack first, dived and threw his legs, and directly attacked Wozak's lower plate!
It was a hug, but Wozak was as stable as a mountain. Not to mention falling, he didn't even sway at all.
Is it a difference in strength?
Yes, but not just power.
While George was thinking, Wozak gently tapped the back of his head with his knife, signaling the end of this round of sparring.
"Your first attack was good, but your excessive desire to attack blinded your eyes. Come again!"
