After Knight Crowe taunted Kiel, he first drew out the long sword that was stuck on the water ghost's thick thigh. The water ghost's blood is a kind of pale yellow mucus, not quite like blood, but this suspicious substance is really the blood of a monster like a water ghost.
After rinsing the long sword in the river of anger, Knight Crowe then began to put on the change of clothes that Kiel had sent over.
After the knight put on the tighter samurai uniform on his body, Kiel had already used the rope to wrap the water ghost up.
The ax that had been stuck on the water ghost's head fell off consciously at this time, but Keir was angry and ignored it. He first **** the water ghost with ropes, and then covered the water ghost with a fishing net, making the water ghost whole.
Knight Crowe also came to help. After all, this three-meter-high water ghost weighs at least two hundred kilograms.
Finally, the knight formed the water ghost into a ball, and then the fishing net was repeatedly wound and tightened. After finishing the work, Knight Crowe lifted the whole group of water ghosts with one hand, asked Keir to clean up the foul-smelling unknown mucus on his body, and then walked downstream along the river bank with the body of the water ghosts, slightly avoiding the river bank Where there were many people above, he jumped up on the spot again, stepping on the rock wall of the river bank and jumping up.
After Keir finished his work, he realized the foul-smelling unknown mucus on his body.
He hurriedly took off his helmet and came to the river, took out the sackcloth from a small leather pouch on his belt, soaked it in water, and repeatedly scrubbed the places on his body where the mucus was sprayed.
This thing seems to be slightly corrosive, but it's not very strong, and it disappears with a touch of water.
It's just that on the front of Kiel's armor, there are slightly corroded potholes on the original new and smooth armor.
This made Keel very unhappy.
Especially the water ghost used its claws on his armor twice before. This strong and tall guy is really strong, and the thickest part of the armor was even scratched with a half-finger-thick claw cut.
This is not a small problem, and I will have to find a blacksmith to find a way to fix it later.
After tidying up, the sackcloth that was originally used to wipe the blood splashed on the armor was also corroded and tattered, and Kiel threw it directly into the river.
He stood up and opened his palm towards the ax not far away.
Ong—
The ax vibrated quickly on the ground, then jumped and flew directly into Kiel's hand.
Sighing, Keir shook his head, rinsed the water ghost's brain fluid on the edge of the ax with river water, and then put the ax behind his back and stuck it.
He turned around and walked towards the direction he came from, thinking about how he would explain the origin of his armor to the other party after he was seen by the disabled soldier above.
At the same time, he was also thinking about Knight Crowe's taunting words just now, whether spiritual weapons would affect the battle.
Walking up the stairs step by step, Kiel thought for a while, and felt that sporadic weapons were still good helpers for him. Of course, for the knights, they were powerful enough and had enough means to deal with powerful monsters and monsters. Warcraft does not need a weapon with its own personality and ideas to intervene.
"Perhaps, I can continue to use it until I become a knight. This powerful weapon is still one of the essential means."
Talking to himself, Keel walked back to the metal gate of the stairs up and down the checkpoint.
When he came back, he closed the creaking metal mesh gate again, and then inserted the wooden pin to close it firmly.
Turning sideways through the passage full of debris, Keir returned to the area where the angry Nanguan soldiers lived.
The disabled soldier whom he had seen before was still busy with his work. When he looked up to the debris passage that heard the noise, he saw an armored soldier covered in armor.
The disabled soldier's eyes widened, but he couldn't speak what he wanted to say. Taking advantage of the other party's doubts, Keir quickly took two steps, left here, and walked to the passage in the middle of the checkpoint.
"Uh, where did such a person come from?"
The disabled soldier came to the passage where the sundries were piled up, saw the closed iron gate, and there was a space for one person to walk through the sundries, and scratched his head in doubt, wondering why he had been working here all the time and went down just now What the **** happened to a young man who turned into an armored warrior.
I don't understand.
strangeness.
-
A tax official who was annoyed at the Nanguan Pass inspecting merchants to collect taxes watched Kiel walk out of the soldiers' living area at his checkpoint. Although he was puzzled, after Kiel saluted him, he waved his hand, ignoring Kiel's origin .
Walking back to the ground, Keir hurried back to the camp outside the checkpoint.
At this time, a period of time passed, and the overnight camp had been set up, and some militia teams who had completed the work of picking up crossbow arrows had returned to the camp early to rest.
When they saw Kiel coming back from the outside in armor, which was rare, they all greeted him. Kiel also responded friendlyly, but walked straight towards Knight Crowe and his own camp carriage.
Sure enough, as he expected, when he saw Kiel coming back, the knight guards standing guard at the gate of the camp said that the knight had returned and asked Kiel to enter the tent to find him.
Lifting the thick curtain of the camp tent, Kiel shouted, "My lord, I'm back too."
Knight Crowe was untying the tightly bound body of the water ghost in the center of the tent.
"It's just right here. You untie this thing first. I'll go out and come back soon. By the way, your net is quite strong. Don't break it when you untie it. You won't be sure on the marching road later." It can still be used."
After explaining, Knight Crowe washed his fingers stained with water ghost's blood in a washing basin in the tent, and then strode out.
Keir took off his helmet, hung it around his waist, and then slowly unwrapped the water ghost's body wrapped in fishing nets while wearing the armor.
-
On the other side, after Knight Crowe came out of his tent, he went straight to Baron Kendall's tent.
When he came to the door of the baron's tent, he could tell that the baron was inside right now just by looking at the baron's personal guards around him.
He quickly walked into the baron's camp after passing word from his attendants.
At this time, besides the baron, there were also several priests accompanying the army in the baron's camp, and they were discussing whether the Ika knight should be a blessed knight who used the power of the gods.
Although Knight Crowe is also the first person in the competition just now, he doesn't really care about these things.
He doesn't care about the overall strength of the Ika family behind the Ika Knights, or whether they will take care of these troublesome things. He saw a lot of similar characters when he was in the capital.
Although knights who use magical power or magical power are the higher-level status of ordinary knights in most people's minds.
But in fact, as far as he knew, these were just two of the many routes. And it's not what many people think, it's a route for knights to become stronger after their own strength reaches a certain level.
In fact, after becoming a knight, many knights with backgrounds and connections no longer spend energy on advancing on the road of knights. The advantage is to get twice the result with half the effort.
It's far better to directly become a knight and then get in touch with other means of strengthening.
Those who are still on the road of knights, except for those who have taken this road themselves, most of them are knights trained by the army just like himself. Like Rumi Knight.
Knight Crowe greeted everyone, walked to the baron, and quietly borrowed a magic ring from the baron himself.
"Is there any use? Borrow this?"
The baron was a little puzzled. Knight Crowe rarely touched some of his magic props or weapons, not because he didn't like or rejected them, but simply because he couldn't afford them and couldn't use them.
The reason why they can’t afford it is that most of the magic power charges of magic props are not very cheap. They have to be filled with magic gemstones that store magic power. Magic weapons that can restore magic power are very expensive, and if they are used less, Compared with the magic props that use magic storage gems, it is not cost-effective.
Judging from Knight Crowe's income, he can bear the cost of using several magic props, but compared with the power brought by the magic props, it is too unnecessary.
Because Knight Crowe is very strong, he can do it by himself when using magic props.
For example, in today's knight competition, apart from the fact that Crow Knight used a long sword inlaid with magic gemstones to help him kill the cow, he won the other two competitions by relying on his own strength. .
So the baron was puzzled.
"It's better to freeze something and store it in ice cubes."
"Oh, the frozen magic ring, okay, I'll give it to you, you know the easy-to-use password." After speaking, the baron took off an inconspicuous silver ring from his left little finger.
Such a ring looks like the outer ring is made of sterling silver, which is unremarkable. No one would have thought that this is also a magic ring prop.
Baron Kendall himself also has the level of a knight who has just entered the road of knights, but it is exactly the same. He especially likes all kinds of magic props, so in addition to the magic weapons and props inherited from the family, when he was working in the organ castle , bought a lot of various magic props from magicians and alchemists living in the provincial capital.
This ice ring is also one of them.
Different from the heartfire dagger seized before, this small ring-shaped magic item often has more complex effects, and its power is not sure how strong it is, but it is more secretive and deadly.
Knight Crowe took the ring from the baron, thanked him, and left in a low-key manner.
He had seen the baron use this thing to freeze clear water into ice out of thin air before. It is funny to say that this ice ring must have other functions. In most cases, it is actually used by the baron to put on a pose at various banquets. A means of cooling down the drink in hand.
Just like the ring that the baron had illuminated in the old knight's manor before, it was just a means for the baron to get compliments from the people around him.
Returning to his tent again, as soon as the knight came in, he saw that Kiel had untied the water ghost and laid it flat on the middle ground.
"Very well, Keel, you go find an empty box, and get some containers already filled with water, and get some more water, clean water."
Hearing Knight Crowe's explanation, Kiel nodded yes.
He saw a ring on Knight Crowe's finger, but he couldn't remember if the Baron had such a ring. Because it is different from the simple appearance of sterling silver on the outside of the ring, the part of the inner ring that touches the finger has a circle of aqua blue ring-shaped sparkling gemstones.
The neat circle of gemstones shone with aqua-blue magic power, which was obviously not ordinary.
Looking at it this way, the simple decoration that can be seen on the outside is just a small thought of the maker of this magic ring to hide his strength.
Keir found a large empty box containing food and water from his carriage. After moving it to the knight's tent, he borrowed two solid wooden barrels containing water from the logistics clerk, and rolled them to the In the tent of Knight Crow.
"My lord, look, is this water enough?"
Two buckets of water must be enough, Knight Crowe nodded.
At this moment, he had already dismantled the dead water ghost's body into several parts with a sharp dagger. I won’t explain the details, because I’m afraid I won’t pass the trial.
Take out the arm of a water ghost and put the others apart.
The water ghost's internal organs, which were completely inconsistent with human beings, were placed on the ground by Knight Crowe. He found a few wooden goblets, put the internal organs in one by one, then set up the large bucket that Keel rolled over, and opened the cork on it. Ask Keel to place the glass on the spout of the barrel.
Then Knight Crowe grabbed the heavy bucket, tipped it slightly, and poured the water into the wine glass, covering the internal organs of the water ghost.
Repeat several times to soak all the internal organs of the water ghost in the clear water of the wine glass.
Then Knight Crowe put on the baron's ice ring, and touched the water surface of the wine glass with the ring-wearing little finger.
"Bursts of ice!"
The knight spoke.
The ring flashed blue, and then a magical glow passed along the knight's little finger touching the water to the wine glass.
In an instant, a surface of ice appears on the glass and extends from the point of contact into the glass.
There was a clucking sound of freezing, but with just one breath, a frozen wine glass with a higher water level than before appeared.
"awesome!"
Keir had to sigh in admiration, these magic gadgets are really amazing.
If only he could have one.
At this time, he regretted handing over the captured magic dagger in Pine Needle Town.
However, he also clearly understood that the fact that he handed over the captured magic dagger greatly enhanced his sense of trust in the eyes of the two knights and the baron.
After all, for ordinary people, such a weapon can be sold for a price that is more than enough for an ordinary person to live a lifetime.
-
After freezing the viscera of a water ghost in a wine glass with a magic ring, Knight Crowe continued to perform: "Bursts of ice! Bursts of ice! Bursts of ice..."
He was quick, and freezing these little things seemed like a minor problem for the ring.
Then Knight Crowe put a piece of tarpaulin in the empty wooden box that Keel brought, first poured some water into it, and used the ring to freeze it to form a layer of ice bottom layer, and then put pieces of the water ghost's body on the ice , and then pour water into it, completely submerging the limbs of the water ghost.
"Bursts of ice!"
This time, it's still the same, the small ring released a longer magic blue glow than before, and in just a few breaths, the water in the box and the water ghost's limbs were all frozen in the sound of the water turning into ice. together.
"okay!"
Knight Crowe put the wine glasses containing the internal organs of the water ghost on the ice in the wooden box, then closed the lid, and took out a tarpaulin to wrap the entire wooden box.
"Kiel, call someone in. Carry this thing to my carriage. In the days to come, I will prepare the water ghost's body tissue for you to eat according to the speed of your progress."
The corner of Knight Crowe raised his mouth and said with a smirk.
Keir's entire face was wrinkled together. He looked at the one arm of the only water ghost that was not frozen by Knight Crowe, and felt that it was too bad.
Is it difficult for him to eat that thing?
help! !
-
That night, when everyone else was happily eating the stewed soft beef and delicious fish soup, only Keel squatted behind Knight Crowe, watching the militiamen and guards with big mouths. Excited to swallow meat.
In front of him, Knight Crowe and Knight Rumi were talking about the grand competition during the day, while eating a large piece of fried fish steak cut from a big fish.
Because next to it is an important checkpoint for business travel, so the shops there sell all kinds of spices that are not cheap. The chef who cooks for the knight and baron made a special trip to the store in the level and bought some spices to use in today's meal.
The pan-fried fish steaks eaten by Crow Knight and Rumi Knight put all kinds of fragrant green vegetables and spices under the plate, and put large pieces of fried brown fish steaks on top. The most precious fragrant spices are It is crushed into powder particles by a small mill and sprinkled on the high-temperature fish, exuding a scent that tempts people's appetite.
On the Baron's side, he was eating soft fish bellies cut into strips. These fish bellies were full of fat, so they were translucent after cooking. The rich soup is slightly soaked in these fragrant fish bellies, which makes people's index fingers move.
Baron Kendall used a silver fork to pierce a fish belly of a suitable size. The slightly trembling fish belly whetted his appetite. After being dipped in the thick soup mixed with a lot of spices, he swallowed it in his mouth with satisfaction. Chewing.
The baron nodded slightly. He didn't expect the chef to cook such good dishes in a place far away from the city. It seems that he has put a lot of thought into it.
On Keir's side, he looked at the two suspicious food in his hand, wondering whether he should eat it or not.
To be honest~www.mtlnovel.com~ He didn't expect that these two meals were actually made by Crow Knight himself.
But when he thought of the raw materials of this thing, Keel felt sick to his stomach.
Knight Crowe suddenly turned around and looked at Kiel, who didn't move his mouth, with a smile on the corner of his mouth: "Eat, Kiel. Eat, eat quickly. After the thing is made, the longer it takes, its It's less effective."
The Rumi knight next to him seemed to have guessed something, and he also stared at Kiel eating with a look on his face.
The two knights were staring at him, and Keel had to open his mouth to put one of the food, a piece of salted kebab on the fire, into his mouth.
I don't know what the structure of the water ghost is like, but after the thing is roasted, it turns out to be a blue-blue piece of meat, without the aroma and color of the beef next to it.
The first time this thing entered his mouth, Keel smelled a smell of aquatic plants before he chewed it.
He tried to chew it, only to find that it was very chewy, not to mention extremely tough, and his teeth were still tearing the tendons of these suspicious meats.
"Big, my lord, this thing, Bu Hao chews, doesn't it seem that you have to break the tendons first?"
Hearing Kiel's inarticulate speech, Knight Crowe smiled slightly, pointed to a very suspicious bowl of meat porridge next to him, and said to Kiel: "It's too strong, right? Then try this, I will put a big piece of meat All the rest are crushed into meat paste, and the meat porridge that is made should be drunk while it is hot. This is easy."
Keir blinked, looking at the blue and bubbling water ghost meat porridge, his eyes were full of despair.
Isn't eating a thing that should be happy?
The two knights said that they were very happy, so happy. They finally knew why those quartermasters who forced people to eat suspicious food laughed so happily when they were in the army.
