Mercenaries and Adventurers

The next morning, Zhao Ji dragged a thin tree trunk back to Dolarin Village.

From the sentry tower outside the field, Zhao Ji had already heard that the goblins harassed the village again yesterday. He showed the sentinel on the watchtower the heads of the goblins tied to the tree trunk he was dragging, indicating that he had dealt with those goblins one by one.

Amidst the admiring congratulations of the sentries, Zhao Ji returned to the gate of the village.

The militia guards at the gate were also shocked that this foreign warrior who just came to the village wiped out so many goblins in just one day. The village was harassed by goblins only yesterday, and today they won a big victory. This made the two gatekeepers break their gates and ran into the village happily, loudly proclaiming the victory to the villagers.

After hearing this, many villagers came out of their houses and came to the streets to see what good things happened.

On the tree trunk being dragged by Zhao Ji, there are more than a dozen goblin heads, large and small, with ropes. Go around the top, and then thread into the head of the next goblin.

Originally, Zhao Ji didn't want to take such trouble to bring back the hunted goblins, but he didn't expect that the combined heads of a dozen goblins weighed tens of kilograms. He didn't want to carry these **** goblins on his back. Back to the village exhausted.

Therefore, he felled a small tree with his sword, picked its thin trunk, removed the branches and leaves, and dragged it all the way back to the village of Doral Forest.

When many villagers saw so many goblin heads, they were horrified at first, but then they surrounded the young warrior dragging the tree trunk with smiles on their faces, and while they were saying good words of praise, they curiously asked what happened. One man defeated so many goblins.

Seeing that the young man who called himself Kiel was exhausted dragging the trunk and the head on it alone, two young men who were also young volunteered to help him lift the trunk.

Zhao Ji agreed immediately, he wished someone could help him, he was almost exhausted dragging this thing all the way.

The two young lads must have done a lot of farm work, and the two of them lifted the tree trunk with the head tied one after the other steadily. In this way, Zhao Ji was liberated, and he immediately cheered up, loudly telling the surrounding villagers how he single-handedly killed the group of goblins who harassed the village.

Of course, in the whole simple process, Zhao Ji omitted the matter of getting a stone on his buttocks, although if someone carefully looked at Zhao Ji's walking posture, they should be able to see that Zhao Ji was injured on his buttocks.

The crowd moved with the movement of the two young men carrying the trunk, and slowly walked to the central square of the village.

In the square, everyone in the village who heard the news rushed over, and all the old people who had met yesterday and the day before yesterday were also there. They gathered at the very center of the crowd, and when they saw Kiel and his party coming, they all moved forward.

Old Domo leaned forward to observe the goblin's head carefully, then slapped Zhao Ji's arm and back with his big hand loudly, and laughed and praised Kiel for doing a good job. With his young It's time for that energy.

Nia Shepherd smiled happily on her kind face, and happily told the peasant women around her that this Kiel warrior was a Saturn warrior recommended by Kendall City. Sure enough, as she expected, it only took one day to wipe out a whole team of goblins that harassed the village.

The three village elders in charge of the village house also had smiles all over their faces. While stroking their beards with their hands, they were discussing something with each other in a low voice.

At the request of Old Domo, the two young boys carried the tree trunk covered with goblin heads and walked around the square in the center of the village many times.

After all the villagers in the village saw these heads, they were carried to the village security station under the persuasion of Zhao Ji to Lao Duomu.

A total of sixteen goblin heads were placed in the yard of the security station. Some young lads stood outside the gate of the security station, watching the militiamen inside touch these fresh goblin heads at close range, which made them I'm so envious.

Zhao Ji came to the village house on the edge of the square together with the actual controllers in the village.

As soon as he entered the gate of the village house, Zhao Ji asked them to bring him some meals. In the morning, he only ate some hard bread and pickled radishes, and his physical strength was exhausted. At this time, he was already hungry. up.

With a wave of his hand, Old Duomu arranged for a militiaman who followed him to the tavern to order a large portion of good wine and meat to entertain the warrior of their village.

Seeing that the well-known and unknown people in the village had already gathered in the village house, Zhao Ji, who knew what they were curious about, told them in detail what happened yesterday.

During this period, because Zhao Ji was thirsty, an elder living in the village house brought Zhao Ji a good wine from his collection to moisten his mouth. That is really good wine. The wine poured from the silver bottle into the ceramic bowl is amber thick and golden in color. The wine has a pleasant fruity aroma. Zhao Ji smells that it is brewed with grapes, apricots and apples. Alcoholic alcohol comes out.

Pick up the pottery bowl, and drink it into your mouth in small sips. There is no astringent taste as you imagined, but a mellow and full-bodied wine that melts in your mouth. Old Duo Mu wanted to pour a big glass for Zhao Ji while he was drinking, but was stopped by the elder named Julian. Elder Julian saw through Old Domo's plan to fish in troubled waters early on. He said that his old wine was prepared for warriors, and Old Domu hadn't achieved a successful record for many years, so he was not qualified to taste his fine wine now.

Old Duo Mu muttered angrily about what he used to drink when he was young and sat back in his seat.

Zhao Ji, who had moistened his throat with fine wine, continued to tell the story of his battle yesterday. This time, he did not simply say a few words in the square, but carefully told the story of his battle. Zhao Ji also has his plan, if possible this time, it would be best to wipe out all the goblins. But if it doesn't work, then he will tell the village more about his combat experience, so that they can take the initiative to eliminate the scattered goblins, which can be regarded as making a different contribution to the safety of the village. .

When Zhao Jiming clearly stated that he was hit by a stone from the goblin leader's sling because he couldn't dodge in time, Nia Shepherd immediately said that she could use the divine power bestowed by the great **** of agriculture to slightly heal Kiel's wound. Wound. Zhao Ji quickly refused. He didn't intend to ask others to help heal the injury on his buttocks. He couldn't afford to lose that person. It was a matter of face. Besides, he still has the ointments that Jamura gave him. When he first came to this world, Zhao Ji personally used those ointments with remarkable curative effects, and he still believes in the curative effect of those ointments.

Nia Shepherd, who was rejected, was obviously a little disappointed. She said that as long as Kiel was injured in the battle with the goblins, he could come to her to use divine power to heal the wound.

Zhao Ji thanked Nia Shepherd for his generosity and kindness. Although he was reluctant to use the divine power of the **** of Saturn for healing, he also knew that the cost of using divine power for various churches had always been very high, and it was generally only used internally by believers of the gods, and it was useless for people of other faiths to pay for it. It's not that I can't, but I don't want to. After all, every church does not lack that little money.

Nia Shepherd might think that Keir is a firm believer in Saturn, but Zhao Ji doesn't believe in Saturn at all. He is just a little curious about the gods in this world, but he doesn't really believe in them.

From his rough judgment, the relationship between gods and believers is more of a packaged transaction, and the church is the packager of this transaction.

Zhao Ji went on to talk. When he talked about the final battle with the little goblin leader on the tall hills, the villagers in the room were shocked by such a game of fighting with each other. At the end, they heard the simple but inadvertently fatal confrontation between Kiel and the injured goblin who fell into the trap pit, which expressed more than the heroic battle poem sung by the bard who occasionally came to the village. Full of danger.

After talking about his battle experience, Zhao Ji also waited for his rich wine and meat. Although the fine wine in the silver jug ​​is delicious, Zhao Ji prefers a large glass of ale, and the gurgling sip of ale down his throat makes him feel excited.

After hearing the details, the other people left the village house contentedly. After all, people in the village have their own affairs and cannot waste too much time. The elders in the village who were really talkative and useful still stayed in the village house. They gathered together and discussed various arrangements in a low voice.

Zhao Ji gorged on free wine and meat at the table next to him, listening to the old people's plans for the future.

They obviously didn't expect that Kiel could fight so bravely and powerfully when facing so many goblins. Usually, when the young people in the village saw so many goblins, they would have fled back to the village in fright. Only the sentinels standing guard outside the village are braver, but that is when they stay on the sentry towers that goblins cannot get up. When the sentries are on the flat ground, like other villagers, they don't have much to face Goblin courage.

Zhao Ji listened to their discussion, and interrupted after a while: "After hearing so much from everyone, I don't know if I should say a word or not."

Nia shepherd said: "You say."

"Ahem, in fact, the specific method of dealing with goblins should not depend on the situation in the village, because the village is the defender, and as the party that holds the initiative, the situation of the goblins is really important."

Old Duomu asked suspiciously: "Why? Let's make our own, what does it have to do with goblins?"

"If, I mean if. If the Goblin settlement in the forest is huge, with thousands of Goblin warriors, what should we do?"

"How could there be so many! Goblins don't know how to farm, and a forest can't support so many goblins." Old Domo said immediately.

"Of course, I mean what if. If there are a lot of goblins, what should we do in our village? We can't stop farming, we can only shrink behind the village wall. So now we really need to Do it."

"What is it?" Several old men asked in unison, and after speaking, they smiled awkwardly at each other.

"It's to investigate the situation of the goblins!" Zhao Ji said with a smile: "I don't think it's actually a big achievement to eliminate a team of goblins. You may not know that I eliminated the slime monsters in the south swamp of Kendall City I discovered it when I was there. Monsters in the wild, you can’t imagine that their number is too small.”

Old Domo asked, "How many slime monsters have you eliminated?"

Zhao Ji looked at the old men and said, "It's about a thousand short."

Hearing Zhao Ji's simple answer, the elders unconsciously took a deep breath, "One thousand, good guy, are there so many monsters in the swamp south of Kendall?" They have all been to Kendall City, and some even participated in the construction of Kendall City when they were young.

"So I think everyone's thinking about the situation of the Goblin settlement is a bit too simple. The Goblins may not actively want to attack humans, they just want our human tools. Most of the Goblins I think they might all be in the forest at the foot of the mountains to the south."

"Okay, as you said, let's find a way to investigate the situation of the goblins first." Nia Shepherd finally made a decision on behalf of everyone. She then began to arrange their respective responsibilities: "Domu, your task is very heavy, first prepare more equipment that may be used to fight the goblins, the blacksmith in the village, you can negotiate with old Barry. Sartre! You go to the lord Big brother’s brother went to find some written records left by big brother when he fought against goblins, which should have the situation of goblin settlements. I went back to the church to find some records from the early years, so many years ~www.readwn.com~ I can’t remember many things. Fortunately, I like to write down the knowledge I hear in my notes. Julian, you can arrange some people to strengthen the guard tower outside the village. .After hearing what Kiel said just now, I really can't rest assured about the safety of those sentry towers."

Several old men patted their chests and promised to do it. Zhao Ji also patted his chest and said: "I will go to the forest in the south to investigate the current situation of the Goblin settlement in detail. By the way, the village was killed by my brother yesterday." A scarecrow stolen by Brin is still in the place where I fought Goblin, do you want to get it back?"

The elder named Barry said, "That scarecrow is from the land of Taka's family. I'll ask their family to send out some men to bring the scarecrow back."

Zhao Ji wiped his mouth: "It's not too late, let's do it now. There must be no goblins in the south of the village for the time being. I will accompany the people in their family to get the scarecrow back quickly."

Elder Barry said: "Then let's go, I will take you to find their home."

Zhao Ji heard something when he was leaving the village house with Elder Bali, and he asked: "Elders, you have lived in the village for many years, and you know that the bats that come and go at night in the village are usually Where did it come from?"

Several old men looked at each other, they didn't expect that Kiel asked such an irrelevant question, but they still answered Kiel, the bats flew from the southwest of the village.

Zhao Ji smiled and waved, and walked out of the village house together with Elder Barry. Of course, before going to the family, Zhao Ji had to take his shield from the Iron Palm Hotel.

He had suffered a big loss from not wearing a shield in the battle with goblins before. If he had been wearing a shield back then, the battle would have ended right at the water hole where the goblins got water. It's not that complicated.
