Chapter 310 Drunken Old Peter

Amidst the relaxed and happy chatter and laughter of Gallo and others, the fate of the baker's family of three was finally decided without any accidents.

"The three of you come with me first. The log belongs to your family. I will find someone to help you move it later."

The old city lord coughed twice, turned his head and asked, "Kang Ding, how much firewood do you have at home? Is it enough?"

"Enough," Kang Ding replied softly, "There are six logs and some broken wood."

"Then, let's give them two first."

The old city lord said softly: "The snow season is over in a week. For a smaller house, burning two logs a week should not be enough. If you bring logs, you don't have to worry about being rejected by others. Bar."

"But the food..."

The baker protested softly, his face turning pale.

"Isn't it enough to give you wood? You have lived in Kangding's house for a week, so you must leave something for them?"

The old city lord interrupted him directly: "If there is not enough food at that time, let's talk about it. Our hunters here are all good boys. When the snow season is over and the monsters come out, we will ensure that none of you will starve to death."

"...Okay. Listen to you."

In the end, under the increasingly ugly face of the old city lord, the baker reluctantly agreed.

When the baker went to inform his family to pack up, the old castellan turned to Kang Ding, showing a gentle and kind smile.

"Little Kandin..."

"Teacher, what are your orders?"

Kang Ding lowered his head and asked respectfully.

The old city lord was once a good friend of his father. He watched him grow up and was the teacher who taught Kandin the ax throwing skills.

Although Kang Ding's hunting skills have already surpassed the old city lord, Kang Ding has never forgotten this teacher-student relationship, and has never forgotten his identity.

He always had a feeling of respect for the old castellan.And the old city lord also has a special feeling for this good boy with outstanding talent and respect for his teachers.

Thinking of this, the old city lord sighed deeply.

"These warriors who are attacking the White Tower are going to stay here for the night. I estimate they will have to stay here for a week. You have to keep an eye on Peter and don't let him cause any trouble if he drinks too much."

He took Kang Ding's hand and lowered his voice: "Of course, if the old cripple is being bullied, don't be too patient. After all, Peter is also your guest, and you have the position to protect him."

"I understand, teacher," Kang Ding nodded, and asked in a deep voice, "How many people live here?"

"It was originally planned to be five... don't worry, I also know that this is too much. The children don't count. This is equivalent to asking you two for five, even if I let that smooth-talking guy give me all the food If you stay, you will definitely not be able to hold on."

The old city lord pondered for a while, and then asked, "Kang Ding, didn't you just say that you encountered an avalanche? Where are the three children I asked you to watch?"

"...Sorry, my fault."

Kang Ding was silent for a long time, then said softly.His furrowed brows were full of guilt.

The old city lord's eyes lit up instead: "No, Kang Ding... Isn't this just right? The three children are now... We can just transfer these warriors to their homes. Let these people who have mastered magic arts enlighten them Family is also a good choice.”

"...But it's too unfair to them."

"It's like this every year, and it's not just this winter that people will die."

The old city lord sighed: "Our survival rate here is already very high. What more can they ask for? Well, it's decided like this... How many people can your family support at most? If one person is divided into two If it counts."

"Four."

Kang Ding replied without hesitation.

"Then I'll leave you with three. I'll take the remaining eight."

The old city lord also replied without hesitation: "You are the guardian of Sodom. If you don't have enough to eat, you are irresponsible to the people of Sodom."

"...I see, teacher."

Kandin was silent for a while, and then answered seriously.

The old city lord nodded happily.

It just so happened that the baker's family of three also came out of the guest room with their luggage.The old city lord glanced at them, then walked back to the crowd behind him, communicated with a tall and fat mountain knight, and then pulled three young people to Kang Ding: "I will take them away first. These three children will be handed over to you."

"give it to me."

Kang Ding nodded seriously.

As the cold wind carrying heavy snow rushed in when the door was opened for the second time, part of the heat that Kanding's house had managed to preserve was lost again.Even standing in the front hall now, I can feel a slight chill.

"Come upstairs with me first, three guests."

Honaar turned her head and said softly to the three Templars.

And Kang Ding just followed the three guests to the end, silently looking at the three people who were going to stay at his home for a week.

Always at the forefront is a blond-haired Titan who is the Templar of Tyre.Unlike those sissies in the Titan Empire, this kid's body looks quite strong, at least wearing half body armor doesn't make people feel awkward.

And the other one that stands out is a girl in silver light armor with loose green hair.Her holy emblem is the holy emblem of the Goddess of Life, but Kang Ding always felt that she didn't look like a Templar in armor, but more like a priest.

Although she is quite beautiful, Kang Ding just feels that she is not as pleasing to the eye as the little brother who saved him before...

And the one who walked at the end was a short, sleepy-eyed little boy who looked rather listless.

Contrary to his appearance, it was this person who gave Kandin the greatest sense of threat.Therefore, even if Kandin did not recognize the Holy Emblem on this little boy, Kandin did not dare to underestimate him at all.

Moreover, he wore a strange robe with a snakeskin texture and no armor - this was quite incredible for the Templars.

After all, at least [-]% of the strength of the Templars lies in their armor.

As Templars, their divine grace is naturally much less than that of priests. Except for the unique halo ability and a few postures that require divine grace, the remaining divine spells can only be released through these blessed armors.This is why they don't take off their armor when trekking in the snow - they might not survive if they take off their armor.

"I will take you to get to know the other guests first, and then I will take you to your room. Also, please pay attention to the meal time..."

While walking ahead, Honaer slowly introduced the situation here to them.

The three Templars responded to her with polite but cold responses, but Honor did not look angry at all.

Rather, it is better this way.

Kang Ding nodded in satisfaction, and began to silently calculate the distribution of food.

In fact, the old city lord guessed right before.Kang Ding said that he was able to support four people, which was actually showing off his abilities.

Because Kang Ding's family does not have that much food.

Whether it is the guests that the teacher gave to him, or Master Peter, and the distinguished guests who saved him once, they are all people who must not be treated badly.The same goes for Horner and Lim.

However, if you take out your own portion and reduce the portion of other people's food a little, you can also make two portions of food.

Kang Ding originally planned not to eat until he fully recovered, until the end of the snow season, the hungry monsters began to come out for food, and then hunted monsters to have a full meal.

As the top hunter, Kanding, the son of Rodahan, has the characteristics of "enduring hunger" and "wild power".The former can make him hunger for twice as long as ordinary people, while the latter is the capital that allows him to still exert part of his combat effectiveness even when he is hungry and disabled.

But the teacher's last words made Kanding wake up.

That's right.I am the guardian of Sodom. If something goes wrong with me, if Sodom suffers from wolves again, who can protect my hometown?
Kang Ding is the only gold rank powerhouse in Sodom.Not counting Kang Ding, the second most powerful hunter in Sodom has just stepped into the silver rank.Searching all over Sodom, there was no third human above the silver rank.

Even if the winter wolf can only be regarded as a black-iron monster except for its cold resistance, in this kind of weather, a silver-rank hunter can't exert his silver-rank strength.Once the wolf king realizes that he is not in a good state, it would be bad to take revenge on Sodom.

"Oh? What did I see? Yo, Kandin, aren't these three puppies!"

……Oops!
At this time, a drunken voice from the side of the stairs made Kang Ding's scalp numb, and he stopped his thinking for an instant.

It was old Peter's voice.As winter dwarves, their special culture makes their beliefs different from most humans.

Contin didn't even know what god he believed in.If Old Peter hadn't rescued a priest of Roda Khan, it would have been impossible for him to be accepted by the people of Sodom.

"Please show some respect!"

The young girl yanked heavily on the young man who almost rushed out in front of her, and reprimanded loudly in an impolite voice.

"Hey, you little girl... tell me, what did Old Peter say wrong?"

An old dwarf with gray hair and smelling heavily of alcohol said inarticulately: "It's the first time a puppy bites a piece of bloodshot raw meat, do you think he is an old dog who can hunt pigeons? You guys?" Is this what the master taught you?"

Immediately, the atmosphere became completely condensed.The girl let go of her hand with an ugly face, but Kang Ding's body was still tense subconsciously.

"You old dog can't speak human language, can you?"

And Tire's templar was already laughing back in anger, and pulled out the long sword that was gleaming behind his back with his backhand: "Then let me see, is it your mouth or my sword!"

He was only halfway through speaking when he rushed out without warning.Kandin didn't stop him at that time, and by the time he reacted, it was already too late.

Charge and sword momentum.The holy blade unfolded at the same time, the thick blade rubbed against the air, and the golden flame gradually ignited.The young man raised the long sword in his hand high, and slashed at the old dwarf's face!
