Chapter 597: Lurkers
"These people are also lucky."
Quietly standing on the edge of the village, it seems that the residents who have moved have not packed up, and the driver who is in charge of pulling the cart is a little impatient, looking at the middle-aged man in front of him and saying casually: "These people were originally ordinary scavengers. Wandering the battlefield, doing some desecration of corpses."
"But some time ago, these people were lucky."
"Oh, I don't know what kind of luck it is?" Listening to the driver's speech, the burly man was also very knowledgeable and asked curiously.
"These guys saved a real knight from the battlefield."
Looking at the man's curious face, the driver said, and when he talked about it, he also had a strong envy on his face.
"A real knight!" The middle-aged man was stunned for a while, as if shocked by the incident. After a while, he then asked, "Are you sure it's a real knight? Not some apprentice knights?"
There is a huge gap between apprentice knights and full-time knights.
Knights are the backbone of a kingdom. Each knight has the strength of a small army. If there is no restraint enough to slaughter ordinary soldiers, it can be called a humanoid monster.
However, the apprentice knight who did not activate the seed of life and only had knight training was much worse.
Even if its own strength is strong, there is a limit, and there is only one dead end in the face of the siege of the army.
However, for some villagers and savages with little knowledge, it is difficult to tell the difference. That's why the man asked this question, hoping to confirm it again.
"A real knight, of course."
The coachman jumped up: "Do you think I'm the kind of fool who can't tell the difference between a trainee knight and a full-fledged knight?"
"Look there."
He pointed to the village in the distance and said to the middle-aged man in front of him.
Looking in the direction the coachman pointed, the middle-aged man was stunned.
I saw a tall, burly, hideous and terrifying corpse lying quietly in a corner of the distant village.
The corpse was very tall, and if it could stand up, it would probably be at least two meters tall. The body is gray, and there are some thin bone spurs on the arms. It looks ferocious and terrifying, and it looks like a fierce beast.
On the corpse, an unpleasant stench was spreading, and it smelled like a rotting corpse.
The corpse had been placed in the corner of a house before, and it was inconspicuous because it was covered by a lot of objects, so the man hadn't seen it before.
"That is!!"
Looking at the tall corpse in the distance, the burly man opened his eyes wide, his face showing shock, as if he was very shocked by the appearance of the corpse.
"Sink!"
In a place where ordinary people can't see, his fists clenched secretly. At this moment, the mood in his heart was very complicated, both shocking and a little doubtful.
"See." Seeing the man's reaction in front of him, the driver thought he was frightened, so he said, "The corpse of an adult ghoul,
And with such a huge size, only a formal knight can deal with it. "
"According to the villagers here, after the knight was rescued from the battlefield by them, it took only half a month for him to drag his severely injured body and kill such a ghoul."
"I really don't know how powerful that knight would be when he wasn't injured."
Seeing the man, the coachman said incessantly, with obvious envy on his face: "The knight is still a kind gentleman, after helping these poor scavengers kill the ghoul, he also hired a car The carriage brought wine and meat as a reward, so that these people could drink good wine and meat, and a lot of money was loosened for these people, so that they could be eligible to live in the city."
"I tell you, the coachman who pulled the cart for the knight that day was still a cousin of mine."
"Oh?" The coachman's words suddenly lifted the man's spirits and asked quickly, "Then do you know what the knight looks like and what are the obvious features?"
"Obvious features?" Hearing the man's question, the coachman gave him a surprised look, and although he felt a little strange, he still asked: "According to my cousin, the knight is very young, and he looks like he should be He's only just grown up, and he looks very handsome. According to my cousin's original words, it's enough to be a lover to those ladies."
"Any more, I don't know."
He shook his head, indicating that he didn't know more.
In fact, all he knew was what his cousin bragged to him after taking the reward, and he didn't know how much of it was true.
But in front of him, listening to his story, the burly man was thoughtful, as if he was thinking about something.
Just in time, a few villagers in the distance came over with luggage and asked the driver beside him to help lift the things into the car.
The man then walked away, walked directly to the village in front, and communicated with some scavengers still inside.
There is no doubt that he pretends to be a businessman who has come to buy.
Scavengers scavenge waste near the battlefield, and the things they pick up will eventually be sold. Therefore, in the past, occasionally some small businessmen will come around and try to find some good things here.
During the transaction, the man pretended to have just seen the ghoul's corpse, and asked the residents there with a curious expression, silently inquiring about the news.
After the transaction was over, he made a small request.
"I bought these many things from you, can you give me this ghoul's corpse?"
The man pointed to the smelly gray corpse in front of him and said with a smile to the scavengers beside him.
"What do you want this for?" On the side, seeing that the man bought a lot of things in one go, a scavenger was about to agree, but in the end he remembered something, and some philistine said, "That's not possible."
"This is a rare ghoul corpse, at least eight copper coins are required!"
"Eight coppers? Why don't you grab it?" The man frowned, looking excited: "Up to three coppers!"
After fierce bargaining between the two parties, the body was finally taken away by the man, and the price was five coppers.
After buying the corpse, the man didn't stop here, he directly led his horse and walked towards the path outside.
When leaving the village behind, looking at the village that was vaguely visible behind, the man shook his head with a disdainful smile on his face: "A group of foolish people."
"A ghoul's corpse is a rare material. If it is sold to those churches, it will cost at least a hundred gold coins to buy it."
"Especially, this corpse is still so complete..."
When he spoke, he looked at the corpse behind him, and his expression became solemn.
The identity he just said was naturally false, and even the name he just said was false.
The man's real name is Garga, and his real identity is not a businessman, but a lurker in the Kingdom of Senai.
Lurkers, this is a force that belongs to the Duke of Sena, and every official member in it is at least a trainee knight, specializing in dealing with some troublesome things for the Duke of Sena.
Slowly walking out of the path, when he came to a certain section of the road without people, Garga slowly stopped, walked to the back, and seriously looked at the ghoul's corpse.
"There is a fatal wound on the chest... It was directly pierced by the spear, and this breath is life energy, and even a little change of grudge..."
"If it is true, as those scavengers said, it was done in a dying state, then I am afraid that the strength of this knight is at least the peak of the official knight, and he will soon be promoted to the bronze knight..."
Carefully examining the ghoul's corpse, Garga's face was solemn, and his mind quickly recalled at this moment: "Young age, handsome, and with such strength, which genius knight will be around here?"
Standing on the spot, I carefully recalled the genius knights who had recently participated in the war, but in the end I found that none of them could be completely matched.
In the end, a name came to his mind, which made his heart move.
"Could it be him?"
Ga Jia's heart moved, but at this moment he thought of a figure: "If it is really him, then this time, we must seize him no matter what, and we cannot let this opportunity go in vain!"
"Even if it's not him, a genius knight who is only one step away from the Bronze Knight, can't let it go in vain. If he can catch it, His Majesty will definitely reward him."
He moved in his heart, thinking of this, he suddenly had an idea in his heart.
Holding the old horse, he looked at the ghoul corpse behind him, and a sneer appeared on his face.
"One shot to kill, Cink, you are self-conscious enough to know that sooner or later I will come to kill you, so you will find a place to kill yourself first..."
･･････････
"This weather is really cold..."
In an unfamiliar city, walking on a street, Wendy was trembling all over, feeling a deep coldness.
It was really cold at this time.
Judging from the memory inherited from Adil, this time is just in the cold plastic season of this world, which is the winter of this world, and it is the coldest time.
Early in the morning, some ice and snow had appeared on the ground outside, and it was not surprising that the girl felt cold.
Looking around, the girl looked at Adil beside her curiously: "Master Knight, aren't you cold?"
"It's not cold." Adil said softly.
Compared with the heavy clothing worn by the people around him, Adil was indeed very eye-catching.
He was wearing a white robe and a long sword on his waist. He had a calm face, and there was no trace of wind and rain on it. It was very surprising in this weather.
