Chapter 12 Old Pete's Request

Shake took Bulu and Bobby to temporarily live in Ambient's Snow Mountain Tavern. Although Bobby's wound healed, his spirit was still a bit weak. Xia Ke was afraid that the bandits would touch the house, and he was also afraid that there would be wild beasts attacking him in the middle of the night. , living in the town would give him peace of mind.

His spirit was not very good either, although he dealt with those bandits with a burst of anger and ruthlessness, it really gave him nightmares for a few days afterwards.There is both the fear of losing a loved one and the disgust and nausea of ​​having the same kind of blood on your hands.

In fact, he still underestimated the danger of this world in his heart. He thought that the last encounter was just bad luck for him, but he encountered the same group of bandits twice in just one year, which also made him doubt whether he could protect himself. He is suspicious of everything he wants to protect, he has too little to afford to lose a little bit.

Anxiety, fear, uneasiness, disgust, all kinds of emotions tormented him so that he couldn't sleep peacefully. Fortunately, Bobby's health gradually improved, and his spirit became better, and he became a good dog jumping up and down. This gave him a lot of comfort, and Brew was caring. Accompanying him, always lying quietly beside him, rubbing against him from time to time, making low "oooooooooooooooooooooooooo" sounds, as if to comfort him.

Two intimate little padded jackets, accompanied by every movement and silence, rubbed and licked him when he fell into negative emotions, which made him visibly refreshed. Finally, on the fifth day of living in the Snow Mountain Tavern, Xia Ke recovered. Mostly energetic, he took Brew and Bobby downstairs for a walk.

"Hey, young man, are you free? Come and sit here."

Old Pete greeted Xia Ke enthusiastically. Xia Ke was not in the mood to buy anything for the time being, so he shook his head and said that he would go next time, but Old Pete was very persistent in greeting. went in.

"A little black currant?"

Seeing people coming in, Old Pete walked out of the counter courteously. He was small, only a little taller than the counter, and usually stepped on a chair.

He welcomed Xia Ke to the low table and sat down with a smile on his face. Although he usually smiled when he saw people, Xia Ke felt that today's smile was too gracious.

"No, I don't drink."

He refused with some embarrassment, and stretched out his hand to comfort the nervous Brew and Bobby.

"What a majestic hound."

Old Pete praised that Shake was not used to his beating around the bush like this

"Tell me, what's the matter?"

"Hey!"

Old Pete sighed heavily

"I've heard about you. Those bandits are really hateful."

He wanted to arouse Xia Ke's sympathy first, but found that the young man was indifferent, so he sighed again, put away the twists and turns, and decided to get to the point

"Old Pete, I want to ask you a favor, but don't say no,"

He raised his hand to cut off what Xia Ke was about to say, then poured himself a glass of black currant before continuing

"We do this business on a small basis. We got something from the corners of the Magic Guild to keep those mercenaries who passed by. It's a small profit and quick turnover. Three days ago, I had a batch of goods. I spent most of my savings, and I was almost in the town, but I was robbed on the mountain road."

He put the wine glass on the table angrily

"Those damn bandits not only robbed the goods, but also killed my poor nephew."

"I don't have that ability."

Xia Ke knew the purpose of Old Pete, and he wanted him to help him get back the goods and take revenge. Unfortunately, he is not a powerful character, nor is he a data in the game where he can choose to be resurrected safely if he dies. He can't take this risk.

"I know, I didn't expect you to go alone. But young man, you live in the mountains, as long as those bandits don't die, what happened to you that day will happen to you countless times, unless you move out and don't die anymore No more hunting."

Shake was silent, he touched Bobby's neck, it was very warm there, but when he recalled that scene that day, he still felt chills from fear, just like in the winter when he was ten years old, he was stripped off and given to him by a good-hearted person. His clothes, being insulted, were driven into the forest with sticks, fearful and desperate.

Seeing that Xia Ke was shaken, Old Pete stood up, walked to the door, and closed the door

"Come with me, young man."

Old Pete led him through the narrow and dark stairs, and went down to the basement, where an equally small old man sat there. It was the old Burt who told him the news about the ruby. He was drunk that day, but he was clearly in good spirits. It was gloomy at the moment.

"My poor nephew Edith is Bert's youngest son."

This sentence alone can explain how sad old Bert should be now.

"Child, sit down."

Old Pete also sat down. He took out a sheepskin map, spread it out, and pointed it with his fingers.

"This is a den of thieves. Although Bert and I are old, we can still kill a few people, but we are old. I'm afraid we can't deal with all the thieves. We have a common enemy and we can trust each other." of."

"As long as you are willing to help, except for my batch of goods, we will not touch any other things found in the bandits' den. Moreover, everything in my store can be used for you, whether it is weapons, Armor or potion, it doesn’t matter.”

Shake couldn't say he wasn't tempted, but he himself was somewhat repulsed by killing people, and his heart was really vacillating. Moreover, he was also a little worried that he would be betrayed by Old Pete, after all, he really didn't know Old Pete very well.

"Don't worry, you are willing to help. You are my old Burt's benefactor. If Pete repents, I will kill him for you."

Perhaps seeing Shake's indecision, the old Pete, who had been silent all this time, raised his head, his eyes were red and desperate.Old Pete didn't respond to his speech, he just swore

"I will not regret it. Edith is also my beloved child. He grew up with me. I will only love him more than you."

"Why don't you issue a reward order? Many mercenary teams and magicians will be willing to accept such a task."

Such reward orders are often encountered in the game, and Xia Ke thinks this is a better and safer method.

"Hmph, reward order? Let's not talk about whether I can get a bounty that is exciting enough. When I get through the relationship and release the mission, Edith's bones will be cold. I can't wait that long."

"I know you want to learn magic, as long as you are willing to help, this is for you."

Old Burt took out a book from his pocket, and on the cover of the tattered hair curl was written "Legend of Maju Gongdi".

Xia Ke's eyes widened. Ma Ju Gongdi, he remembered, because this was mentioned many times in the guide, he was the god of law in this world. The villain in the game, the Dark Lord, was killed by everyone because he got his treasure. The world chases and kills, from a kind mage to a demon.

The book "Legend of Maju Gongdi" is also very precious. It was found in a bandit den. It is a relic of a certain thief's undead. However, the thief's undead is very powerful and cannot be challenged by the protagonist. The protagonist must reach 50 When you are at the first level, go kill someone, take his head to find the thief undead, and you can get this book.

After reading this book in the game, the magic skill points can be increased by 10 immediately. This is a point that can only be obtained by leveling up the character to level 10. Of course, if it is just like this, Xia Ke will not be tempted. After all, he is not a game character. It's useless, not to mention it may not be possible to add.

What fascinates him is that after many experiments by game masters, after reading this book, he will automatically learn ten magic skills. It’s just that these skills have already been learned before getting this book, so it’s reflected The superiority of this design cannot be overstated.

Wait, wait a minute... bandit den, oh my! ! !

"Yes, sorry, may I ask, are you a thief?"

He looked at old Bert in surprise, and when he heard what he said, old Bert smiled, although it didn't reach his eyes.

"Smart boy, how else would I know Brooklyn's little secret, the little trick I taught him. So, does this book move you?"

The wages of avarice is death

"can."
