Chapter 97

The bodies of the three goblins were suspended from the beams of the house, swinging slightly. The rope crunched against the beam. On the hillside next to the village, three rows of newly built tombs are in the final finishing work. Bucher takes a charcoal pen, writes down the names of relatives and friends on the wood, and then plunges them into the wet soft soil.

"What are you going to do next?" Zhao Mai asked: "if there is only one person, it is not suitable to live here."

Bucher kept his head up and checked his writing again and again for errors. Hearing Zhao Mai's words, he wiped his nose with the back of his hand, inhaled hard, and then said with indifference: "I can live anywhere, you don't have to worry."

"I want to hire you." Zhao Mai decided to go straight: "I can see that you have great strength and the action of waving an axe is amazing. I think I'll be much safer with you. "

"Are you an aristocrat or something?"

Zhao Mai shook his head. "I'm not a noble or a rich businessman. I'm just a young Druid in need

"Need help?" After spitting on the ground and wiping his mouth, Bucher said, "everyone in the world needs help except me. I'm not the one who cares."

"We're going south, and we're going to get closer and closer to the land occupied by the goblins." Zhao Mai said: "I don't know what you think. I only know that if I were you, I would continue to go to the trouble of goblins. This is a marauding team. They came out on orders to rob. Maybe you're not interested in helping other villages, but what about destroying goblins? "

"I can do that."

"Follow me, at least you don't have to spend the night alone in the wild, and someone will take care of your back." Zhao Mai said, "I'm a fair and reasonable person. I won't treat you badly."

"You'd better do what you promised," Bucher said after thinking about it, "or you won't get to the trial and I'll chop you to death."

For Bucher's joining, paladins expressed different opinions. Some people think that the team should be made simpler, which will help to complete the task as soon as possible; others think that this is a good deed, which should not be refused as a knight. Zhao Mai thinks that this is actually a problem of marching speed, and this problem can be solved when we get to the next town and buy a strong mule or horse.

So the group stopped in wato town for a while, and Zhao Mai bought some equipment for Bucher. I didn't expect that Bucher was a picky man, at least he had a high demand for mount. In the whole town, no horse could get into his eyes, so in the end, he only wanted a mule to use instead of walking.

"Can you ride and fight on horseback?" Zhao Mai looked at Bucher's figure. He is taller than ordinary people, with big hands, big feet and long thighs, but he can't see the influence of long-term riding on his legs and crotch, so it's impossible to judge.

Bucher shook his head, not knowing whether he didn't want to pay attention to Zhao Mai or deny his riding skills. In the blacksmith's shop, he saw a big knife with curved blade. It was a large chopping weapon with a length of 1.2 meters, which was used by ordinary people with both hands. He picked it up, weighed it, asked the blacksmith to add a small counterweight behind the hilt, and then asked Zhao Mai to buy it.

This kind of ferocious weapon can only be used by strong enough people, but Bucher can hold and play with one hand. Zhao Mai watched with his own eyes as he waved the big knife up and down. In a few seconds, he cut a stake into five pieces. Judging from his technique, it's not like a farmer and hunter, but a soldier after a long period of training.

Zhao Mai intends to inquire about his past, but Bucher shakes his head. Sometimes, when asked, he would stare, raise his foot and kick Zhao Mai's ass. He dodged all the time except for the first time he got a kick and fell.

Wato is one of those towns where there is a mixture of dragons and snakes and there is no supervision. Although it is not a den of thieves, it is not far away from each other. The paladin of aomede is very eye-catching here, and the emblem of the shining sword can play a similar effect of "Silence". In a word, the first time they entered the town, they were watched by everyone, but they were ignored by anyone, which made them very unpopular. So if you want to inquire about the situation of the great druids and swamp areas, only Zhao Mai and Bucher can do it.

"You mean to leave me in the hotel and go out and look for it yourself?" Zhao Mai raised his head from the breakfast plate of blood sausage, fried eggs and baked potatoes, unable to hide his surprise. "Is there anything I can't know?"

"It's not convenient for you to go where I'm going. You won't like my old friends. You're not the same kind of people." Bucher shook his head very firmly.

"Well, you go. About what time will you be back? Because whether we can get information or not, we won't stay here for a long time, three days at most. "

Bucher's scarred face didn't show any expression. He thought about it for a long time, wondering why Zhao Mai would accept it easily. He was not sure whether the Druid was too stupid or too smart, so in the end he simply said, "well, it won't take that long."

He fastened the leather armour, put the chopper behind his belt, and lifted the curved blade broadsword. When he was going out, he suddenly turned around and said to Zhao Mai, "you'd better close the door at night and don't open it to anyone. Trust your hound, it's much safer than your clevernessBefore Zhao Mai nodded, the door closed. Through the curtains of the room, we can see the tall figure of Bucher disappearing in the shadow of the alley. This town seems to be able to swallow everything, whether it's the light of a goddess or a strong man.

After being alone, Bucher found the familiar feeling again. There was no one to look after his back, and a faint sense of threat blew through the hair behind his ears, making his muscles tense again. He thought he would never feel the tension again. He thought he could be reborn in the valley. Unfortunately, it didn't work out as expected, and the gods cheated him again.

"I really failed." There was still resentment in Bucher's heart. I've been a mercenary, a bodyguard and a knight. By coincidence, I've been a knight for a while. Although there is no fixed castle and land, he has seen the world and enjoyed luxury. It's just that time and again, he's always been persecuted or cheated. Even the guy who promoted him just wanted to take advantage of him. He found one boss after another, but only understood one truth: civilians without family background can not get real reuse. Although he was careful, he was still not the opponent of the noble who played tricks on his heart. After losing his armor and serious injury, he fled to the valley village and rebuilt his life by praying and family.

The goblin destroyed his last habitat, and he was tired of being manipulated by fate. It's said that Druid lives in isolation. Maybe that's what he needs. Following Mike for a while and getting the protection of nature may be his last chance to get rid of his troubles in this life. Besides, at present, Mike has some devious ideas. He is fair in dealing with things. At least he can see them.

There's no other place to go anyway. That's what Bucher thought.
