Mercenaries and Adventurers

He shook the torch from side to side, and the bright fire light illuminated the surrounding area clearly and without hindrance.

But Kiel even searched all over the corners of the fallen boulders, but he couldn't find the weapon he was looking for. Keir scratched his head, thinking it was impossible. Knight Lanisa asked him to come and look for it, which meant that the weapon must have been here at that time.

Unwilling to give up, Kiel searched around, and even went to the burned wreckage of the first wooden wall to see if the dropped weapon slid down the sloping rock passage.

As a result, he did not find Knight Lanisa's one-handed epee on the wreckage of the wooden wall still smoldering and embers.

But I saw a few northern land wolves squatting on the opposite side of the wreckage of the wooden wall.

The two looked at each other, their eyes full of killing intent and ferocity. However, neither of them had any intention of fighting at this time, so Kiel just looked at them and faced the northern land wolf head-on, but slowly retreated.

When facing wild beasts, the most important thing is not to turn your back on them. Because even if they don't intend to attack you, once they turn their backs on the beast, it will arouse the hunting instinct in their blood. They instinctively attack animals and humans that turn their backs.

Keir naturally knew this, so he looked at these northern land wolves head-on, but moved his legs and feet backwards.

Since the rock passage is slanted upwards, in Kiel's line of sight, he can clearly see that when the northern land wolf has been staring at him, its head is gradually raised, and the bright animal pupils are tightly locked tightly. he.

Keel suddenly had a flash of inspiration from his mind.

The raised wolf head, the missing knight weapon.

Jingle bells sounded like a bell, and Keel suddenly looked up at the rock walls at the height of the rock passages on his left and right at this time.

The rock wall was pitch black, but after he carefully observed and searched, he still saw a not-so-bright red light surging faintly in a place in the darkness.

The red light was weak, and Keel raised the torch in his hand high, letting the steady light from the torch shine on the high rock wall.

The thing hidden in the darkness finally appeared. It turned out to be an empty wolf skin that could fly in the air to assist it in the battle of the wolf king, and was filled with red light and was very powerful.

At this time, the thing was leaning against the rock wall, and was illuminated by Kiel's torch, and it kept twisting, but the strange thing was that although it struggled and twisted weakly, it stayed in place and did not leave.

Kiel felt strange, and handed over the torch to his left hand, while his right hand pulled out the long sword and held it in his hand. He opened his eyes wide, carefully looked at the things above, and took a few steps back sideways, only then did he see why the empty wolf skin stayed here all the time, and did not leave with the wolf king.

It turned out that the wolf king didn't leave it here for investigation or some other reason, it was simply because a dark one-handed epee pierced through it and nailed it to a high rock wall.

"Phew, I finally found it." Kiel breathed a sigh of relief. As the main combat weapon of the Lanisa Knight, their main combat force, being able to retrieve it would greatly affect the outcome of subsequent battles. Although Lanisa Knight is seriously injured no matter how you look at it now, Lanisa Knight herself has not cared much about her injuries before.

Having located the weapon, all that remains for Kiel is to get it off.

He returned to the second wooden wall and reported to Knight Lanisa, who was taking off the armor and skin that had been burned together.

Cavalier Lanisa, who cried out in pain from time to time, was dexterous. She used a hunter's skinning dagger to loosen the armor of the other arm that was severely burned, and cut off the burned and sticky parts. .

The part of the armor that was removed was flexible. Although a large amount of skin was burned on the inside of the armor along with the clothes, just watching Knight Lanisa clenched the fist that lacked skin, she knew that this had little effect on her battle.

"Fortunately, it's winter now, so don't worry about pus coming out of the surface of your body. Keel, find a rope and get it off. Remember, be careful of the wolf king's fur!" While removing the armor on his arm, he pulled Nissa Knight explained to Kiel.

Looking at all of this, Keir's scalp felt numb. He couldn't imagine how the female knight calmly explained the main points of his mission while peeling off the things that were glued together like skin, clothing and armor. It can even warn him of danger.

Even if the effect of the red-eyed mushroom sugar pill is still there, Keir feels that the female knight in front of him is even more terrifying. Compared with the monsters he fought before, this human knight in front of him looks more like a monster.

The old hunter next to him found a long rope, which was originally used to tie the arrow to ignite the high lighting fire to retrieve the arrow. The old hunter untied it, and then the rope was coiled. Passed it to Keir a few times.

Kiel took it, and then watched as the old hunter picked up the dagger and carefully cleaned the inside of the armor that Knight Lanisa peeled off from the skin.

Since he is not a craftsman who specializes in maintaining the knight's armor, the old hunter just used the tip of a slender dagger to scrape off the scorched things inside the glove and wrist guard, and then wrapped a cloth strip around the top of the stick. Reach in and wipe.

-

Kiel took the rope and left the knight in a panic. In fact, other young hunters like him didn't dare to look at the inside of Lanisa's armor that was peeled off and burned into a ball. It was too terrifying. If Knight Lanisa yelled in pain, everyone might still have some grief or sympathy, but their Sir Knight had no superfluous expression on his half-burned face, only occasionally whispering pain. With a snort, she nimbly peeled off part of her burnt armor.

It was as if it wasn't her who was burned.

After climbing over the wooden wall, Kiel quickly walked to the place where he found the one-handed epee and the empty wolf skin. He took out the rope, tied a slipknot at one end, and then put the slipknot into the one-handed sword sheath nailed on the rock wall just like the American cowboy in the previous life put on the cow.

After two or three unsuccessful attempts, Keir caught the thing the fourth time, and when he pulled, the slipknot tightened and held onto something.

Keel tugged on the rope, found that the slipknot was tighter, and then began to pull down under it.

At first he didn't dare to push hard, but pulled gently. Then when he felt that the top was a little loose, he fixed his arms and the rope, took two steps back, borrowed the strength of his body to pull back, and pulled the top thing off.

Contrary to his expectation, with a clanging sound, Knight Lanisa's one-handed epee fell from the rock wall, bounced directly on the ground, and then plunged into the rock passage on the ground with the tip of the sword facing down. stood on the ground.

But Kiel's rope was still stretching high in the air, and the thing caught in the rope's slipknot was still on it and hadn't come down.

Kiel was dumbfounded, his eyes widened, and only then, under the light of the torch, could he see clearly what he had caught with the rope. The slipknot of the rope was directly put on the big white tail that had been nailed to the empty wolf king wolf skin on the rock wall.

The big white tail emitting red light was tied by a rope, making the freed empty wolf skin float in the air and could not fly far, wobbling like a kite.

Although surprised, Kiel found it interesting under the visor, and his whole mouth opened happily.

He found that the strength of the empty wolf skin flying in the air was not very strong, and the red light covering the whole wolf skin was also dark, not as bright as it was in the previous battle, and it seemed weak.

Keel tugged on the rope, and the floating wolf skin was pulled closer. He loosened part of the rope, and the wolf fur flying in the air flew a little higher in the air.

He dared to be funny, and immediately tied the other end of the rope to his belt, fearing that if he missed his hand, the wolf belt would run away with their rope.

Looking at the wolf skin floating seven or eight meters above his head, Keir took two steps at the falling rock, and found that as he walked, the wolf skin on it passively followed him, and if he stood still, the whole He could feel that the empty wolf skin was trying to fly in the direction of the wolf king.

Keir realized this, and immediately thought of the great effect of this thing.

He hurriedly tied the rope on his belt tighter to prevent the knot from loosening and running away with this thing.

After solving the 'kite', Kiel came to the one-handed epee standing on the rocky ground. By the light of the torch, he took a close look at the weapon that Knight Lanisa had always treasured for the first time.

This one-handed epee is not long, not even as long as his long hunting sword. It has a handle that can be held with one hand as a whole. The length of the whole sword is not more than one meter. In short, it is not considered long among one-handed swords. that's it.

At the same time, the blade of this sword is not very wide, which makes the whole sword short and thin, but it is not as thin as a thin sword. From the perspective of the overall aspect ratio, it still maintains the classic one-handed The blade length-to-width ratio of the sword.

The shape of the entire sword is different from Kiel's common one-handed swords, and has more exotic styles. I don't know if the craftsman who forged it did it intentionally, or the craftsman himself is not human.

The blade of the long sword was dull in color, and a sentence was etched on the surface of the straight and smooth blade, but Kiel didn't recognize the words on it, so he didn't understand the meaning.

Interestingly, the hilt of this one-handed sword is not wrapped with any leather or rope cloth strips to increase friction, it is a metal hilt forged from the same material as the sword body as a whole. There are only some diamond-shaped staggered patterns on it to barely increase the friction.

On the weighted metal disc at the end of the hilt is the coat of arms of the Knights of Lanisa - Arms and Wolf.

Keir knew that this weapon was heavy, so he held the hilt with both hands and lifted it.

Did not mention it.

The whole sword seemed to be poured on the ground with liquid metal. When he pulled it out just now, he only felt that the sword was lifted up a little bit.

Kiel looked at the one-handed epee, took a deep breath, stabilized his footsteps, and drew his hands again.

This time, with all his strength, he finally pulled out the short, thin one-handed sword from the rocky ground.

Clang.

Kiel's arms trembled, and his entire face was flushed red.

He had no choice but to pull out the sword and put it back again.

"It's so heavy. It's unbelievable that it weighs about the same as mine?" Kiel compared the strength he exerted just now, and felt that the weight of the armor and weapon on his body was removed, and the sword was almost as heavy as him, and it might even be a little heavier. a little.

Looking at the weapon again, Kiel touched the surface of the sword body, tapped it with his fingers, and the glove made a solid impact sound when it touched the surface of the sword body. From the sound alone, Kiel could tell that the material of Knight Lanisa's sword was very unusual. It is estimated that the entire sword was forged with some kind of magic material.

Needless to say, this kind of magic material is very heavy in weight, probably far more than the black iron used in his hunting sword. At the same time, the strength of this sword should also be very strong, which can be seen from the fact that this sword has no flexibility at all.

If it is an ordinary weapon, if it loses its flexibility, it will cause the whole weapon to be too brittle and break during use. But what if a weapon is stronger than you think?

So after this weapon has an extraordinary degree of hardness, has its usability and practicability returned?

Keel shook his head, this is not something he understands. But judging from this weapon, there is indeed such a possibility. After all, when he was dealing with monsters before, he saw Knight Lanisa use this weapon head-on again and again. A trust in solidity.

It can't be lifted, and it's not that it can't be dragged away.

Kiel pushed a long sword standing in place, let it fall to the ground, grabbed the hilt with his hand, and then dragged the small one-handed epee back to the second wooden wall backwards.

If you drag this weapon, a large part of its weight will be released from the place where the tip of the sword touches the ground. Kiel only needs to keep raising the hilt of the long sword a little bit, and he can move it step by step. dragged back.

-

The hunters quickly took back the corpses of the northern land wolf that had been killed in the previous battle. At the same time, some of the metal clips that were smashed by stones were also received on both sides of the unobstructed passage, while the intact metal clips were reopened. , placed in the middle of the channel.

The corpses of the northern land wolves were all piled up in the space under the wooden wall. When the wooden wall was abandoned later, the burning of these corpses would also increase the burning time of the wooden wall, and at the same time, it did not give the northern land wolves a little chance. Opportunity to supplement food.

Again, it would be more beneficial for them if the time dragged on longer.

Because each position will not weaken the defensive advantage of the hunters due to the passage of time, but for the attacking northern land wolves, the hungrier they are, the harder it is for them to organize and launch an attack.

Not only the attacking northern wolves lost their strength due to hunger, but also, in order to barely maintain the food supply of the wolves, the longer the time dragged on, the northern wolves had to send out more adult northern wolves to hunt. Because the young wolves who have not yet grown up have very limited hunting experience, it is difficult to gain an advantage over other animals that are equally cunning in the ice and snow.

When Kiel slowly approached the wooden wall, the hunters standing on guard on the wooden wall first discovered Kiel and the empty fur of the wolf king floating in the air seven or eight meters above Kiel's head.

They were very nervous: "Keil! On your head! Run!"

But what made these hunters dumbfounded was that Keel put down the thing he had been dragging, straightened up and waved at them, then pulled something around his waist, and then the empty wolf skin on his head followed Kiel's pull made it shake up and down.

The scene was weird and ridiculous.

Only then did the hunters notice that there was a rope connecting Kiel to the empty wolf skin in the air, and the empty wolf skin on top seemed to have been trying to float away, but was tied by the rope and could only dangle. Yoyo floated above Kiel's head.

Although it seemed that the thing was not dangerous, it was a huge thing that was not much smaller than the wolf king. Its head was up and its tail was covered with a faint red light, which looked dangerous and ominous.

The young hunters were still bold. They came down from the wooden wall and approached Kiel cautiously. Seeing that Kiel was fine, they were struggling to drag Knight Lanisa's weapon.

Only then did the young hunters feel relieved. While helping Kiel carry Knight Lanisa's weapon, they looked up at the huge floating wolf king's fur above their heads.

"There is another weapon at the turn of the passage over there, please help me get it here." Kiel asked a young hunter who couldn't get in his hand.

Looking up at the floating fur of the wolf king, the hunter ran over, and quickly dragged and carried Kiel's metal spear back wheezing.

With the help of simple wooden ladders, they all returned behind the wooden wall. Afterwards, the simple wooden ladder was withdrawn, and everyone focused on the fur of the wolf king in the air.

When Knight Lanisa first saw this thing, she even held the armor-piercing rapier in her hand.

But when she took a closer look, she found that Kiel had tied this thing to his belt with a rope, but she couldn't help it anymore, and burst out laughing.

For her who has been fighting the wolf king of the Northland, this scene is too ridiculous.

Taking over her one-handed epee and the metal spear borrowed from Kiel, Lanisa Knight carefully looked at the wolf king who wanted to run but couldn't run ~www.readwn.com~ covered in red light and weak fur.

"So Kiel, you don't destroy it directly, just bring it back like this, won't it just make everyone have fun?" The place after Knight Lanisa peeled off the burnt armor before has been used from Ken The clean muslin brought by Del City was wrapped, and a layer of ointment was applied to one side of the muslin.

It was different from the ointment Jamura gave Keel when he first came to another world. This ointment was lighter in color and thinner at the same time, unlike Jamura's ointment which was dark green and sticky.

Another old hunter boiled water by the fire, passed the muslin cloths in the boiling water, and then cooled them, and then applied the light green ointment, which was not frozen even in the winter snow, on one side of the muslin cloth. The small brush was applied a little, and then wrapped around the palm of Lanisa's knight arm with scorched and broken skin.

"Of course not, look, my lord knight." Kiel grabbed the rope and swung it a few times, making the fur of the wolf king floating on it twirl a few times. Then he walked a few steps across the field behind the wooden wall.

The hunters were confused, but Knight Lanisa saw the key at a glance.

"It's trying to fly back to the wolf king?" Although she could see it, Knight Lanisa was still a little cautious in her words.

Kiel nodded, pointed to the direction where the wolf king's fur was trying to float slightly, and said, "After the wolf king retreated, that's where he was, right in the forest facing the entrance of the rocky passage. Pass through us The rock wall, isn't the orientation of this thing exactly where the wolf king should be?"

Knight Lanisa narrowed her eyes and looked up at the floating thing.

Soon, a smile appeared on her half-burned face: "That's good. It seems that this winter will really be the time to get to know it."
