The next day, when the morning light first appeared, Wiltok took the clothes packed in advance and quietly left his room. Boss Bottom has arranged everything, but he may have to live in a plantation outside the town for a while until he learns the writing of the Disa half-elf.
It was still early, and there was not a single guest in the hotel lobby. John, the chief officer of the training camp, was sitting at the door with a few people. When they saw Wiltok coming down from upstairs, they all stood up and waved to him.
Wiltok couldn't name these people, but they were all familiar faces, except for a middle-aged man wearing a guard uniform who was unfamiliar. Wiltok had heard that this was Huck, the deputy captain of the Braun Town Guard, and an adventure partner who had been following Boss Bottom.
Captain Huck's title is "Wolverine" and he has dozens of guards who are responsible for the security of Braun Town. He has a stocky build and a sinister face. He doesn't look like a good person at first glance. There have been many adventurers drinking, making trouble, and fighting in the hotel. Wiltok liked to watch this kind of excitement, but as soon as Huck appeared, the adventurers who were fighting immediately fell silent. At that time, Vertok felt that "Wolverine" Harker was particularly vicious, and even arrogant adventurers were afraid of him.
When Captain Harker saw Wiltok, he smiled as kindly as possible with his big face and stretched out his hand to pat him on the shoulder.
Victor didn't want to be touched by someone who looked stronger than him. He slid his steps naturally without moving his shoulders or bending his legs. He moved back half a foot to avoid the deputy captain of the guard's gesture of intimacy.
Hacker was stunned. Although he had just slapped him casually, a normal person could dodge if he wanted to, but Wiltok's seemingly simple sliding step was actually very simple. There were no unnecessary movements at all, and it was difficult for people to do it in time. Anticipate the direction of his movement.
Huck, who had experienced countless battles, gave a thumbs up to Wiltok and praised: "Vell, I didn't expect you to be so skilled." As he said that, he took out a sheathed sword from under his leather cloak and threw it to him. Vertok said: "Take it, this sword was made by me recently and is given to you for self-defense."
Wiltok was particularly pleasantly surprised. He raised his hand to grab the flying sheathed long sword and skillfully pulled out half of it. When he saw the blue luster on the sword, he knew it was a good sharp sword. The vigilance on his face suddenly appeared. It was replaced by a heartfelt smile, and he said sincerely: "Thank you, Captain Harker, you are a good man."
Dr. Cole would be doubly depressed if he knew that his old friend Huck had won Vertok's favor with a long sword.
Huck successfully patted Vertok on the shoulder and grinned: "With your skills, you won't hurt yourself with a real sword. However, I want to remind you, don't draw your sword on others easily, and don't let it go easily." When someone draws a sword against you, that's the real danger. If you fight with someone, it's best to use a stick."
The guard captain began to get carried away, and suddenly a tall, fat figure appeared in the darkness of the hall corridor. Hacker suddenly felt a chill on his neck. He laughed dryly twice and said: "Wirtok, it's time for us to set off... That, I will take care of you, I promise.”
Wiltok turned around, waved to the fat cook, and said with a clear smile: "Sarah, I will be back soon."
Sarah hid in the darkness, said nothing, and just nodded. She believes that Huck, John and others can take care of Vertok.
Outside the hotel, clouds covered the sky, and a thin cold fog enveloped the streets, making the scenery dim and hazy. Wiltok hung the sheathed long sword he had just received in his cold-proof leather cloak, and followed Huck and the others along the deserted streets toward the clay stone walls surrounding Braun Town.
Not long after, the yellowed white high wall appeared in Wiltok's field of vision. At the end of the road, a group of adventurers were gathering next to the city gate to negotiate with the city gate guard. They spotted Wiltok and his party getting closer and closer. One of them, a slender female adventurer, shouted happily: "It's Wiltok, he is the tallest."
Wiltok looked through the morning mist, but could not clearly see the appearance of the group of adventurers, but when he heard Annie's voice, he recognized them as the Qin and Whistle adventure group.
On a cold and empty morning, two groups of people met at the gate to the outside world in Braun Town. Annie walked through the crowd with Katie on her arm, walked up to Wiltok, and greeted with a smile: "Good morning, Wiltok, are you going out of town too?"
She also wore a hooded cloak and a mask on her face, revealing only a pair of bright, big eyes. She carried a well-made war bow, two quivers, and a metal gun with a shooting gap on her back. Side shield.
Wiltok remembered that Anne herself said that she was a second-level professional archer. The petite Katie was not wearing a weapon and only held a whip in her hand. She seems to be a level two animal trainer.
Wiltok nodded in greeting and said, "I'm going to the plantation outside the town to visit Mayor Mine."
Katie said in surprise: "Ah, we are also going to Mayor Mine's plantation. I heard that he has a group of fighting wild boars captured from the orc bone collectors. I plan to pick a few to serve as my animal companions. I He is a beast tamer, how can he do it without a few war beasts around him?"
When Wiltok heard that Katie was going to tame an animal, he immediately became interested and asked, "Can I go see it?"
"No problem, we welcome you." Anne replied on behalf of her friend, and stretched out her delicate hand to shake Wiltok's hand.
Captain Harker snorted coldly, blocked the door with his strong and honest body, and said to Captain Charlie in an eccentric manner: "What a coincidence, we are going to the plantation to buy food, and you are also going to the plantation to buy fighting wild boars. This morning , and happened to bump into us.”
The adventure group who spent the winter in Braun Town just wanted to dig up information on Wiltok in exchange for some small money. There are only two adventure groups that have the ability to make plans for him, and are making plans for him, the Iron Cross, which is engaged in the slave trade, and the Qin and Whistle adventure group, which is backed by a famous highland family.
Huck and Charlie were once colleagues serving in the Rock Giant Legion, but they had little contact. Charlie came to Braun Town this time and asked Bottom for help in forming his own adventure group. Bottom made a lot of money from Charlie, charging him about 9,000 gold soles for training, but he also selected a group of young people with the best quality from the training camp and gave them to Charlie. It can be said that it is a fair transaction between the two parties and they owe nothing to each other.
Charlie also wanted to take advantage of Wiltok, which made Huck very dissatisfied and naturally had no good feelings towards him.
Similarly, Charlie is not afraid of the deputy captain of the guard in Braun Town. It is a servant's duty to fight for the interests of his master. Whether there is a chance to abduct Wiltok in the future is another matter, but the friendship with Bottom and others cannot be an obstacle to doing things.
With an indifferent smile on his face, Charlie said casually: "Thanks to Captain Rhodes of the Iron Cross, he told us that Mayor Mine has a group of Bone Collector's fighting boars to take action. We made an appointment with Rhodes today. Go take a look, I didn’t expect to meet you here.”
Sure enough, it was Rhodes who was up to something... Huck stood there, thinking secretly. The Qin and Whistle adventure group had one level 4 professional, one level 3, and two level 2 professionals; Rhode's professionals also had two level 3 professionals. , two secondary. There are seven people on my side protecting Wiltok. He is a third-level oak guard, a second-level swordsman, and John who is comparable to a fourth-level professional. Although the others are not professionals, they are also An elite player who has awakened his traits.
Huck is not worried that his group will lose to any adventure group, but if Rhodes' Iron Cross group cooperates with Charlie, it will be a bit difficult. However, they probably wouldn't have imagined that Mayor Mine, who seemed to have a cold relationship with the Adventurer's House, had actually been bribed by Bottom.
However, it's not yet time to expose Mayor Mine... Huck is thinking about bringing in more manpower to keep Rhodes and Charlie calm and not ready to make any moves.
"You useless male, get out of the way!"
At this time, a slender and strong hand stretched out from behind Huck, grabbed his broad shoulder, and pushed him roughly to the side. The deputy captain of the guard, who had a strong body and a fierce temperament, immediately flew five or six meters sideways to the left like a ball, and fell heavily on a pile of debris beside the city gate.
Two Hemer female warriors carrying spears and throwing spears on their backs returned to the town from outside the city wall, flying away Captain Haq who was blocking the gate, and forced the crowd to get out of the way with their cold and dangerous eyes. John and the others watched helplessly as Huck smashed a bunch of boxes, and they did not dare to go over to help him, so they all retreated to the roadside consciously.
However, the arrogant female warrior Hemer seemed to have no intention of letting them go. Among them, the slightly older female warrior of the Hemer tribe lit up when she saw Wiltok. She came to his side, circled around him, stretched out her scarlet tongue, licked her lips, and chuckled: "Beautiful boy, grow up quickly."
The Hemer woman who had just started pushing the guard captain looked younger. She circled Carl of the Qin and the Whistle Adventure Group with interest, her eyes full of aggression. The third-level swordsman who graduated from Coral Academy just lowered his head and looked at his boots, as obedient as a rabbit.
The behavior of the two Hemo female warriors obviously angered Anne and Katie, and they shouted angrily: "What are you going to do?!"
Karl's gratitude arose spontaneously. He looked up at Anne who spoke up for him, but found that both Anne and Katie had their backs to him, facing Vertok's position.
"You are not allowed to touch Mr. Wiltok!" Katie followed up Anne's words and scolded the Hemer female warrior.
Carl suddenly felt that his nose was going to be crooked with anger, but the Hemo woman who was looking at him gave him some self-esteem comfort. However, when she heard Annie and Katie's shouts, she left the swordsman in a complicated mood and walked straight to Wiltok. When she passed by Annie and Katie, she gave them a contemptuous look.
She walked up to Wiltok, raised her head first, looked him up and down, and then asked John next to her: "Where are you taking 'Beautiful Boy' so early? Is it to the old bitch's plantation?" ?”
Bishop John's eyes wandered and he did not answer the Hemmer woman's question, which was tantamount to acquiescence.
The younger Hemer female warrior raised her hand and grabbed John's collar, pulling him in front of her, forehead to forehead, nose to nose, and asked in a hoarse voice: "Will you participate in this year's life festival?" Bar?"
John smiled wryly and nodded, spreading his hands in a gesture of submission.
"It's time to go, Xixi." The slightly older female warrior Hemo had already walked to the front and turned around to urge her.
"You're so annoying!" The young female warrior shouted dissatisfied, but still let go of John and quickly caught up with her companions.
The two Hemer female warriors left, and Captain Hack slowly got up, brushed off the splinters of wood on his body, and said sarcastically: "In winter, the tempers of Hemer women who are not pregnant become particularly bad-tempered. Let’s just let them go and they’ll be fine.”
Swordsman Karl rubbed his chin and commented, "These sisters are very fierce." He seemed to have forgotten how embarrassed he had just been.
Huck sneered and said: "Sisters? Anya and Xixi are mother and daughter. They will definitely participate in the Life Festival this year. You can also sign up, maybe you will be selected by Anya."
Karl's expression changed, and after a while, he said: "Forget it, I think Anya is interested in Wiltok, and Sisi seems to have taken a fancy to John... The female warriors of the Hemer tribe are arrogant and powerful. , you’d better protect Wiltok and don’t let him be quietly abducted by the Hemer tribe.”
When Huck heard this, he laughed in anger. He knew that people like Charlie had no good intentions towards Wiltok. Is this a blatant attempt to pretend to be a female warrior of the Hemer tribe and kidnap Vertok?
"Have you read too many storybooks in the academy? Do you really think that hundreds of years ago, the Hemer female warriors would use force to force men to participate in life sacrifices? Let me tell you, in Braun Town, the Hemer tribe never Forcing outsiders to participate in their life-sacrifice rituals. If you want to refuse the invitation of the Hemo tribe, you don't need to rely on personal force. All you need is determination... I suspect you don't have this determination." Huck said sarcastically.
Captain Charlie came forward to smooth things over and said: "Huck, let's go together. Let's leave now. We can arrive at the plantation in time for lunch."
Being knocked to the ground by Xixi, a female warrior from the Hemer tribe, for no apparent reason, Huck felt a little depressed. He nodded and said, "Then let's go together."
Wiltok was still looking back at the direction in which the two Hemer female warriors were leaving. Anne reached out to pull him, and accidentally caught a glimpse of his amber eyes, which were deep and cold. He still had that curious expression, but it made people feel... Inexplicable panic, as if being stared at by a giant dragon, which is trying to see through all its secrets.
Annie said something mysteriously, "Are Anya and Xixi afraid of you just now?"
Wiltok looked away and asked with a confused look on his face: "Are they afraid of me? Why are they afraid of me?"
Huck heard the conversation between the two, turned his head, and refuted Annie disdainfully, "Is Anya afraid of Wiltok? She just thinks that Wiltok is underage...Vil, let's go."
