Vol 4 Chapter 14: , An Invitation to Pine Needles and a Dream Change Armor

In the end, after a few fights, this person was tripped to the ground by Keir, and then knocked unconscious with several punches.

Everyone yelled and shook their fists to celebrate with Kiel another victory over his opponent.

Originally, Knight Crowe wanted to add one more person to Kiel, but the priests who were in charge of healing not far away stopped doing it first.

A young priest strode angrily away from the onlookers, and when he approached, he yelled something and pushed his hands, and abruptly threw Kiel over with an invisible wave of air.

This time, everyone onlookers were dumbfounded.

Knight Crowe had no choice but to stand up to appease the young priest, and announced to the people around him that tonight's activities had come to an end. The priest's hand was not considered normal to defeat Kiel with his fists, so the reward of gold coins will be reserved for the next event and continue to be accumulated as a prize pool.

Knight Crowe pulled Kiel up and motioned for Kiel to pick up the weapons and equipment he put aside and go back to sleep.

"By the way, how did you let the priests of the church overthrow it just now?"

Knight Crowe pushed Keel to the tent.

Keir looked at Knight Crowe's dissatisfied expression, rubbed his teeth and said, "I thought he had something to say to me, who knew that he raised his hand after he walked in and gave me something Overturned."

Keir's face was full of bad luck, and he felt that he was really careless.

Knight Crowe nodded, and after thinking about it for a while, he said, "That's right. You should have never fought against these professions. Well, I will find opportunities for you to increase your experience."

"Really? How is it possible?"

Kiel looked in disbelief. After all, the status of the priests was not ordinary soldiers. Those guys basically only went down to the knight class in the army, but they far surpassed other people in the army.

"There will be a chance, there will be a chance." Knight Crowe murmured.

-

Early the next morning, the team continued to move south along the road after packing up.

After leaving the Bingxun Pass, head south along the commercial road. The sides of the road gradually widened and entered a relatively vast wilderness plain.

Although it is called a wilderness, the population density has actually increased. On both sides of the commercial roads where caravans often travel, more small roads have been extended, and one village after another has been established in the flat place of the wilderness.

Soon, their army passed a town built on the intersection of the trade road and the lower Kendall River.

The town is next to a pine forest on the other side of the river, so the town was naturally called Pine Needle Town by the first group of migrants.

Naturally, an army of hundreds of people cannot enter the town. Even if Baron Kendall, who passes by twice a year, is familiar enough with the town and has a good relationship with the town's lord and knight, he cannot let the army approach the town within a kilometer.

The opposing knight lord politely sent someone to prepare a suitable place for Kendall's army to station beside his manor outside the town, and he personally invited Baron Kendall to spend the night at his manor with the two knights.

The caravans who followed the army in the past two days greeted the baron, and crossed the army ahead of time to the caravan camp outside Pine Needle Town to rest.

These merchants will take this opportunity to simply exchange the urgently prepared goods in their respective teams, and will also make some purchases in Pine Needle Town.

Merchants are all shrewd guys. Although Baron Kendall's free ride is abrupt, if they are used well, most of them will open up more trade points on their original mature business routes.

They originally only traded in the northwestern part of the kingdom, but this time they might take advantage of the military's protection and directly extend their trade route to the southwestern part of the kingdom.

Even if they are busy for a while, these people can at least personally understand the style, human geography, commodity supply, local specialties, etc. of a region they have never been to before.

The big merchants met and exchanged their respective commodities and goods, preparing not to leave behind every familiar opponent and partner.

After all, people are in a different place, and these former opponents have become familiar and reliable business partners.

Small merchants took the opportunity to try their best to get some local goods in Pine Needle Town, or buy some goods that big merchants didn't want. These people have limited abilities, and may not be able to follow Baron Kendall's army all the way, and venture to the southern border of the kingdom. They are more just planning to take a free ride to reduce the cost of guards that would have consumed a lot along the way.

The cost of hiring mercenary groups or thugs is saved, and the team is streamlined, so that each horse cart and donkey cart can carry more goods instead of caravan supplies.

These people made up their minds that night, even if they just ran to the southern part of the province with the caravan, they would earn much more money than they would have earned by traveling with a full load.

If they are bolder and transport some valuable things to another province in the south, even if they only transport food, they will earn twice as much coins as usual.

"Let us toast this glass of wine to Lord Baron Kendall."

At the businessmen's meeting, someone suggested.

All the other people present were all smiling, and shouted joyfully and excitedly: "Regard Baron Kendall, may wealth surround him, and he will always be rich and peaceful!"

-

As for the army, when the night fell, Knight Crowe and Knight Rumi settled the army for a rest, and then called Kiel: "Don't you have a new armor?"

Keel nodded.

"Put it on! The Lord Knight of Pineneedles invites us to spend the night with him. There will be a feast tonight. Put on your new armor and come with me."

Knight Crowe pointed to the gradually bustling manor not far from the camp, and said to Kiel.

Knowing that the Cavaliers intended to cultivate him, Keir did not shirk. And he was also idle in the camp, so he went to eat some delicious food and have a good time, which was also very good.

After dinner in the camp at night, the soldiers are no longer allowed to walk around at will. Unless you go to defecate, otherwise you will be punished if you meet a patrolling team.

There are various punishments, arranged according to the severity of the mistakes, generally ranging from a meal ban to a whip. After all, it is still far away from the possible battle zone, unless a certain militiaman does not want to participate in the war and wants to run home. Otherwise, the team's punishment and punishment at this time are still very small.

Everyone volunteered to fight. Ordinary militiamen have many brothers and sisters in their families, and it is better to earn a chance to take risks, even if there is a risk of death, than to compete with brothers and sisters at home for the thin family property.

Although Baron Kendall did not give much salary to the people who participated in the battle, the various things seized in the battle, except for the valuables turned in, can bring a lot of benefits.

A lot, at least for ordinary militiamen. With this money, they can marry a girl from the same village decently after they return home, and then hire someone to build a house. Fields are everywhere in the wild. If you have your own house and become a family, you can naturally work hard to open up a new field as your own family property. They compete for resources that are not much in the first place.

As for the wealthy militiamen with some assets in their families, they are more likely to earn an upward ladder for themselves and their families during the war. Killing the enemy bravely, or building a good relationship with the big shots, can allow them to directly obtain a position in the town guard of Kendall City later. Go alone to Kendall City, or move the whole family to Kendall City.

It is a safe route upward.

Keir pretended to take out a box from his carriage, and then returned to the tent he had just built.

After closing the opening of the tent carefully and fastening the wooden buttons on it, Keel took off the full-coverage hard cowhide armor that had been with him for a while in the small tent.

Put these armor parts neatly into the wooden box, and then, wearing a thin singlet, Kiel put his hand slightly in the middle of his chest where he could not feel the vibration.

He silently recited the name of the elf lady: 'Apolfina, Apolfina, Apolfina. '

Then Kiel's body disappeared in an instant.

Also missing was the armor case he had kept under his palm.

-

In the dark and boundless dreamland dense forest.

Next to the colorful river, on the wet moss, Kiel and a wooden box suddenly appeared here.

Exhale a mouthful of white mist, the air here is still a bit cold.

After standing there for a while and adapting to the lower temperature than when he came here, Keel moved his body, picked up the wooden box with armor and walked towards the upper reaches of the colorful river.

It seems that every time I come here, this is where it appears.

Some distance away from the pond of water of memories.

Kiel moved forward along the path he had stepped on many times before, over the short and thick tree roots that blocked the way, and lowered his body to drill through the abruptly raised slender tree roots.

He gradually walked slowly towards a brighter and brighter place.

He wasn't worried about what would happen if he dawdled here. After his experiment, it is indeed as the lady who created this place said, the time of the inner and outer time and space is fundamentally different.

When he is not here, the time in this dream coincides with the outside world. But when he entered here, the time here still passed, but the outside world stopped immediately.

No, it can't be called a pause, it can only be said that the speed of the passage of time in the outside world has become extremely slow.

To this end, he has done many experiments.

For example, throw a stone into the sky before entering, then enter a dream, eat a piece of fruit, and then come out.

At this time, the stone in the air has not landed yet.

But if he slept in the dream, when he came out again, the stone fell to the ground without knowing when.

Therefore, when he is in the dream, the time will change greatly.

The only constant is his own sense of time.

You can prepare, repair, and avoid danger in the dream. But you can't stay here for too long. Food is one aspect. The key here is that it is quiet and empty. Although I don't know if the elves like it very much, but as a human, Kiel is very patient.

In addition, staying here for a long time, to outsiders, his lifespan is actually shortened.

Even if he didn't feel it himself, the change of time and space in a trance still brought him a very different feeling.

He couldn't say anything, but because he had never met Ms. Apolfina, and he couldn't take the initiative to find her, he didn't know what the special feeling of this time-space transformation was.

The temperature on the edge of the colorful pond is more suitable, breathing here will not bring white mist, and at the same time, there is also a spacious place that was rarely seen in the dense forest before.

Even if you look up here, you can't see the slightest bit of light penetrating down from the top covered by the big trees.

The light here is basically emitted by the colorful water of memories gushing out of the pond, some mosses will also bloom with glowing flowers, and of course, there are rare glowing mushrooms.

Besides, the only luminous thing left here is the goblin who likes to sleep soundly on the stones of the pond where the lady sat.

Every time that guy came over, he would see it sleeping freely in various positions. But when Keel made a little movement on the edge of the pond, he would wake up immediately, and then there was the goblin's little movement.

I don’t know where to pick some leaves, and fly towards Kirsa in the air; while Kiel is resting here, I secretly pull out some glowing flowers that the moss has worked so hard to bloom, and stick them in Kiel’s hair; Get some Suspicious Glowing Mushrooms and sneaky swap out what's in Kiel's pocket for these.

It doesn't matter when Keel comes out of the dream, the mushroom in the pocket can't bring out the lady's dream.

This kind of prank didn't happen until Keel reached for his purse while shopping and found that his purse was empty.

After entering the dreamland the next day, Kiel found the missing coins in his box.

Of course, that nasty goblin doesn't like human coins, it only has a special liking for elf coins, either sitting on the elf coins floating in the air and flying around, or using that thing as a weapon, while Keel is sitting While dazed by the pond, throw him small denomination elf coins.

This time too, when Keir came to the pond, the guy was indeed lying on his back on the stones in the pond, sleeping soundly.

In the quiet pond, apart from the pattering sound of the water of memory flowing downstream, the only sound left is its breathing.

Not wanting to wake up the little thing, Keel walked over with light steps, put down the wooden box as quietly as possible, and then came to the wooden shelf in the open space by the pond, and touched the whole box on the shelf with satisfaction. Cover metal armor.

No one was watching, Keir took off his clothes, leaving only a close-fitting undergarment and pants, and then put on the inner armor that was converted to this set of armor.

Maybe it was the sound of Kiel's dressing that woke up the goblin, even though Kiel had been as light-footed as possible, it didn't take long for that annoying little guy to wake up with his mouth open, and then he smirked. Then, it flew over in a dangling way.

It wanted to help Kiel get a glove, but its body was no bigger than a palm, and it couldn't hold a metal glove with a steel armor plate covering the entire palm and back of the hand.

"Useless guy." Kiel was not polite, and directly opened his mouth to ridicule it.

He knew that although this little thing couldn't speak, it could fully understand the common language of the empire.

The beard of the goblin who was ridiculed was raised.

Although its body strength is very small, not much bigger than a stronger mouse, but this guy's mana is bottomless. It flew up with a whimper, then searched in the vest pocket, but couldn't find anything suitable.

Then it whistled, "Whew!", and a large glowing snail shell flew over in a circle.

Keel had seen this thing before, and it seemed to be a leprechaun's mount or a house.

The goblin crashed into the snail shell, kicked and rummaged for a while, and then emerged from the snail shell again.

This time it held a 'wooden staff' the size of a toothpick in its hand.

The little goblin was triumphant for a while, and then swung the long stick neatly, jumping up with both feet and pointing at the long stick.

Wow!

The glove that Keel was about to put on immediately stood up in the air.

The staff swung again, and then the metal glove flew up, hitting Kiel directly in the face.

"Hey!" Keel screamed strangely, and immediately raised his arm to block the 'attack' of this thing. He grabbed the metal glove that flew into the air with one hand, and then put it on his hand neatly, covering the wrist and forearm of the glove. The metal buckle hangs tightly.

The little thing stared angrily, looking at Kiel angrily.

Kiel shrugged, and tentatively reached for the neck armor.

Sure enough, as Keil expected, the metal neck armor placed at the other end of the wooden shelf didn't need him to walk over to pick it up, and it swung the goblin's 'long staff' directly, spinning and whizzing towards him.

Looks like it's going straight for Kiel's face.

How could it be possible to make it come true, Kiel directly opened his palm, and used the metal glove to directly block and catch the spinning neck armor.

If you take it empty-handed, it is still a bit dangerous. After all, his flesh and blood were no match for metal.

Unlike Knight Crow, who can easily defeat the bull with his bare hands, ordinary metal is not much different from noodles in his hands.

Holding the neck armor tightly, Kiel shook the goblin, and then said thank you.

This completely angered the little goblin who wanted to make trouble.

The angrier it gets, the less it can see that Kiel is using it as a tool for armor at this time.

So, when it slammed the ordinary baby's "wooden staff" to the ground angrily, and turned around to ignore Kiel, it only took 1/3 of the usual time for Kiel to dress this complicated outfit. His full-coverage metal armor was formally worn on the body.

Saying goodbye to the goblin who ignored him, Kiel disappeared here in the blink of an eye.

After the little goblin was sulking for a while, she rolled her eyes and placed her curiosity on a wooden box that Kiel had just brought.

It has played with everything in Keel here, and this new thing must be able to play for a long time.

-

Keir lay on his back in the narrow tent, motionless on the ground.

The originally silent environment was suddenly replaced by a noisy night camp.

The militiamen who chatted and spanked, the guards who practiced martial arts at night, the knight guards who hummed and had nothing to do, and the envious boring guys who were curious about what the knight manor looked like.

All this was poured into Keel's ears with the crackling of firewood lighting the brazier.

Not only that, the originally cold air with mossy flowers was suddenly replaced with a sour smell of dog fur bedding.

Kiel even wanted to cough twice for a while.

The nose is still a little uncomfortable with this change.

'It should be better if it is outdoors. ’ thought Keir.

In addition, there are other uncomfortable feelings, but he can't describe them. Some are similar to the air pressure suddenly felt by the skin, or the mysterious and mysterious operation of various divine powers in the body.

These feelings have appeared since the sixth-level protection badge of Saturn, which can heal him, was destroyed by the werewolf Worf.

He had some guesses about this. After all, the big difference between dreams and reality is not discussed, but the environments of the two places are also different.

The weather is getting hotter now, but the environment in the dream seems to have remained unchanged.

What was it like before, what is it like now~www.mtlnovel.com~ It really is a special space created artificially, well, it really feels special and ordinary. "

He was talking to himself like this.

Then he swung his arms randomly in the tent, causing the tent to sway. After waiting for a while, he put the armor on the weapon and cloak, then opened the buttons of the tent, and slowly removed the armor he was wearing all over the body at this time. come out.

The two guards who had been squatting idly by the door of the Crow Knight's tent suddenly opened their eyes wide. They stared at the metal iron-gray metal armor on Kiel's body.

"Keel! Is this your armor your lord said? It's wonderful!"

"Really, it's really good. Of course, it's still a bit worse than adults. But it also looks very strong! Come and let me touch it."

They said it was touching, but in fact, the two of them beat the armor hard with their fists, making a crisp sound of bang bang.

"This armor is really thick, you are really willing to spend money to find a craftsman to make the armor yourself."

"Yeah, I guess it cost a lot of money, right? If I had this armor, it would be a family heirloom for me!"

Keel was beaming as he listened to the compliments from the two guys.

Lifting his head, he excitedly said in a pretentious tone: "Ahem, two, Mr. Crow is still waiting for me. Please make room, please."

"Shit! Make sure to dress me up tomorrow!"

"That's right, otherwise we will hold you and won't let you go!"

Kiel couldn't hold back at all: "Hahaha, we'll talk about it tomorrow, and we'll talk about it tomorrow. It's just a trivial matter, let me go and join the knight first!"

Hearing what Keir said, the two of them let go of their hands in envy and hatred, and let Kiel stride out.
