Thinking that he was going to die, Kieran also performed beyond his level this time and contributed the most outstanding performance in history.
Put your heart and soul into it and show off your singing voice.
When the song ended, Kieran opened his eyes again, but saw no reaction from the group of robbers in front of him.
It didn't seem right to say that, because the robber closest to him had already picked up his mace again and said impatiently, "Are you done singing?"
"No, as usual, you still need to give me a reward after the performance." When Kieran said this, seeing the bad looks on the group of robbers' faces, he quickly changed his words, "Maybe you can also give me some feedback and feelings."
"Just so so," said the robber with the mace.
"It's better than "Head! Head! Head!"." Another robber holding a flail also echoed.
"Wow... that's a bit hurtful to say." Kieran said with an embarrassed look.
"Don't take it to heart, you are going to die anyway. Did you see the hammer in my hand? I just need to use it to hit the back of your head gently, and your head will be smashed to pieces."
"Wait a minute, wait a minute!"
Seeing the robber approaching him again, Kieran sweated profusely and said, "You can't kill me."
"Why?"
"Because I... am a believer in the Shuangxiu religion. I was ordered by the prophet Merlin to write poems specifically for Saturday to praise its great achievements. If you kill me, Saturday will punish you."
Kieran said in a hurry. The robber holding the mace finally stopped when he heard this, but soon he snorted again.
"So what? You're in the wilderness here, and no one will know if we kill you."
"The prophet Merlin can bring the dead back to life." Kieran reminded.
"Then after we kill you, we will destroy your body together."
Before Kieran could say anything, another robber retorted, "It's useless. Didn't you listen to those bards singing? With only one head left, that Merlin can bring people back to life."
"How could anyone be stupid enough to believe what the bards say? They are all liars."
"But the farmers said the same thing. They all claimed to have seen the dead resurrected." Another bandit carrying a bow and arrow also joined the discussion.
"This Merlin and his Shuangxiujiao are obviously quite capable. Haven't we encountered their team before? There must be at least two thousand people following him. Are they all fools too?"
"So you mean to say that I am the fool?" The robber with the mace was not happy and shouted.
"I didn't say that." The robber carrying the bow and arrow shrugged.
"That's what you mean, Hawkeye. I know you always thought you were the smartest one among us."
"I don't deny this."
"Fuck you, you're just a pretentious little bastard, I can smash your head with a hammer."
"My arrow pierced your throat before you even got to me, boulder."
Seeing the group of robbers starting to fight among themselves, the bard's eyes flashed with joy, and he quietly touched the old horse that was grazing under the tree.
However, he had only taken a few steps when he was discovered.
"That bard who took a break from teaching, are you going to run away?"
Kieran's movements froze and he quickly explained, "No, no, I see you are busy, so I want to say a prayer first."
Due to his interruption, Hawkeye and Jushi stopped arguing and looked at him one after another.
"I'll kill this kid first, and then I'll settle the score with you." Jushi said viciously.
"No, you can't kill him," Hawkeye objected, "Not only can't we kill him, we should also protect him."
"What, you have a crush on him?"
"You can't get money out of his body even if you kill him."
"But at least it makes me feel better."
"Or we can escort him to Shuangxiujiao."
"Why are we doing this?"
"Remember the caravan that Old One-Eye asked us to rob before?"
"What's the one called the Golden Fleece?" Jushi thought for a while and asked.
"Yes, the most valuable thing in the batch of goods they brought was something called dragon's blood, which came from the Shuangxiu Sect. It is said that the nobles in the royal capital were crazy about it.
"As long as a small piece is as big as half a fingernail, hundreds of gold lions can be sold."
Jushi's breathing quickened, "Then a little bit can be exchanged for hundreds of golden lions?! Why didn't you tell me earlier that as long as we did this, we would no longer have to worry about food and drink."
"Don't think about it. The Golden Fleece sent out more than forty guards to escort these dragon's blood. They are all masters. Old One-Eye summoned hundreds of people and they still beat the crap out of them."
Hawkeye paused, "But now, we may be able to get this legendary magic medicine without any effort."
"Going to rob Shuangxiujiao?" Jushi's eyes lit up.
"There are at least three nobles and more than a hundred guards there, and they are going to the royal capital to participate in a martial arts competition." A robber with a short sword couldn't stand listening anymore and said,
"Big Stone, you idiot, what Hawkeye means is that we should send this bard back to Shuangxiu Cult, and Merlin will thank us with the blood of the dragon."
"I know what Hawkeye means. I just want to see if there is another possibility. We can use that bard to sneak into the team and directly tie up Merlin. It will be a big deal!"
"Don't do this!" Hawkeye warned, "We don't know much about the prophet Merlin, and we don't know what other methods he has. Before he retired from teaching, he killed a dragon with the female lord!"
"I'm just saying." Jushi muttered, "This is a backup plan. Once Merlin doesn't pay the ransom to the bard, we will do this."
"Let's talk about it then."
…………
Kieran didn't expect that his casual mention of his status as a retired teacher actually saved his life.
At this moment, he really wanted to praise Saturday, but he had to face new troubles.
After meeting Merlin, his false identity as a Saturday poet will probably be revealed, and the gangsters will be so angry that they may even want to kill him.
And even if Jushi and others don't take action, Merlin will probably investigate him for pretending to be a follower of Shuangxiu Cult.
What should I do? What can I do to correct this lie?
Kieran, who temporarily saved his life, fell into deep thought again.
For three days in a row, he didn't think about food or food, and his body also lost weight along with it.
The robbers didn't think much about it, they just thought he was depressed after being caught. Until the evening of the third day, they passed by a small village.
Hawkeye scouted around and saw no guards nearby, so the robbers planned to go in to grab some food and drink, and find a few women to relax at the same time.
Just when they dragged everyone out of the house and rushed to the open space in the center of the village, the bard who had been looking languid on the horse suddenly became energetic.
