Link's figure quickly shuttled through the woods under the moonlight. Of course, even if Kermilla saw him face to face now, she might not be able to recognize that it was Link.
In order to sneak into the cave of the horse thieves, he changed his clothes, messed up his hair, smeared mud on his face, and put on a big beard.
Link's fast-moving figure hid behind a big tree and carefully hid it. He first observed the surroundings, then carefully stuck his head out and stared at the entrance of the bandits' lair not far away.
Most of the bandit captives at the foot of the mountain were escorted to Castle Colo by Kermilla and Chisne, leaving only one who looked timid and threatened him to take Link away.
Bring it to the bandits' cave.
After all, letting go of the bandits, under the current circumstances, would not only mean adding a dozen more enemies to oneself, but also expose the true and false situation of the town to the eyes of the bandits, which is certainly unrealistic, but
If you want to kill them all like this, no matter it is Link, Kermilla, or Chisne, they really can't do it for a while.
It is one thing to kill many enemies on the battlefield, but it is another thing to kill such enemies who have no power to resist.
The great Imperial Knights have no tradition of killing prisoners who have surrendered.
Even for the bandit who took Link up the mountain, Link just knocked him out at the corner to prevent him from shouting, tied him to a big tree in the dense forest, and stuffed a piece of cloth in his mouth.
Of course, as for the survival probability of a person tied to a tree in a forest where wild beasts often appear, that is not something that Link Knight can calculate.
What Link Knight is carefully calculating now is the intersection time of the two teams of bandits patrolling in front of the entrance door of the bandits' den!
No matter how powerful Link Knight is, he can't just break in and challenge the monster boss in a duel like this, right?!
The ants will bite the elephant to death. Although these bandits don't seem to have strong attack power, if dozens or hundreds of them swarm up like this, Link Knight will be cut into pieces if they don't see the monster boss!
Therefore, Link was originally planning to sneak in when he was not prepared, otherwise he would not have to go to such great lengths, wearing such uncomfortable clothes, and pressing the carefully disguised knight's sword to the bandits' weapons.
The habit was left behind.
Link held the hilt of the knight's sword behind his back with his backhand, and his mood immediately calmed down.
After going through the final stage of devil training from Master Calvin, one of the greatest skills he developed is that no matter when, whenever he holds the hilt of the sword, his mood will return to an extremely calm state.
After he made the decision last night to sneak into the bandit's lair and look for an opportunity to kill the monster boss, it took him most of the night to barely achieve this angle of carrying the knight's sword on his back.
It will not affect the speed and direction of his sword draw.
Yes, he wants to kill the monster boss!
From his observations in the past few days and his conversations with the captured bandits, Link already knows clearly that these bandits are not inherently evil people. They are just trying to survive when they become horse thieves.
Now, although they are reluctantly gathered together and look like a huge force, they are actually just a group of rabble. From the fact that they were scared away by me twice in two days, it can be seen that most of the bandits are actually
It's not very scary.
The scary thing is the monster boss!
If the monster boss is just as powerful as an individual, although it is scary, it is nothing. The scary thing is that he can make these bandits fear him, fear him, and under his command, they can all perform better than the empire.
The regular army was even more powerful in combat, and was able to defeat the more than 70,000 combined troops of the two empires by relying on the terrain in the mountains and forests!
What's even more frightening is that this monster boss, who doesn't know whether he is a human or a beast, is still the kind of guy who holds grudges. At least Link knew from the bandit prisoners that he originally wanted to destroy the town, and after yesterday
After that hard fight, the twinkling light in the monster boss's eyes when he left made Link understand very well that this guy's hatred for himself and the town has been accumulated to the extreme.
But it seems that this guy didn’t do much to boost morale after coming back today!
At least Link could see at a glance that the bandits patrolling the entrance to the den were all lazy. Some of them were sitting on the ground even as they walked, not wanting to move.
The den of thieves was bright and bright, with people coming in and out from time to time, some even holding wine bottles to have a few drinks with the patrolling bandits.
Link can smell the aroma of the wine from a distance. Although he is not very good at drinking, his little dad who has followed him since childhood can still tell the difference between good wine and bad wine. This kind of wine is not common in Coloburg.
Can you afford it? It seems that these bandits made a lot of money from robbing the business travelers in the past. They can drink such good wine when they have nothing to do. No wonder it triggered a joint encirclement and suppression campaign by the two empires.
Suddenly, a figure said something to the patrolling bandits, then suddenly raised his head and glanced at where Link was hiding.
Link was startled and quickly retracted his head.
No way?!
Besides the weirdo boss, is there such a strong person among the bandits?!
You must know that his ability to hide in such a dense forest was gained through following his little father in the foggy night forest. At that time, even the old pervert, the mentor Calvin, did not notice. Of course, the old pervert seemed to be pretending not to notice.
, but now that Link has learned to use the breathing method of mentor Calvin, even the sound of breathing has become vague. Someone among the bandits can actually find his traces from a long distance away. Then he
What else are you messing around with?!
For a moment, Link suddenly felt a little pessimistic about his move up the mountain to assassinate the monster boss.
Although he was hiding behind a big tree, his special sensitive feeling still made him clearly aware that the figure who looked at him just now was now walking towards his hiding place together with another person.
.
Link's hand tightened on the hilt of the sword, and in that moment he adjusted himself to a state most suitable for attacking.
"Old Scuva, what are you doing?!" A young voice muttered in annoyance: "If you want to pee, why don't you pee in the room? Why do you come to the woods to pee in the middle of the night?!"
"Young man, those bastards inside are fighting for their lives one by one over drinks," an old voice shouted, "I'm old, I would have fallen down if I hadn't gone further away and gone back!"
Link then felt relieved. It turned out that the guy was just looking for a place to pee and happened to hit him in his direction.
Link suddenly thought of a good idea to sneak in.
The footsteps of the two people were getting closer and closer, and the old voice shouted again: "Besides, my old man likes to pee alone, why are you always following me? Why don't you go and find some little girls to follow you?"
!”
"Damn old man," Link heard the young voice curse in a low voice: "If the boss hadn't asked me to watch you, you think I like to follow you, a weird old bastard!"
"Wait until you cure Miss Elen completely, hum." From his voice, Link could almost imagine the ferocious smile on his face now.
"Uh", that old Scuva choked on his drink, and slowly wandered into the woods. He didn't seem to have heard the young man's words at all, but he still laughed and joked: "I want to follow you.
, do you want to pee with me, hehehe, young man, don’t be too inferior when the time comes!”
He staggered along without looking back, and of course it was impossible to notice Link who was well hidden under the shadow of the big tree. He staggered all the way to the bottom of a big tree.
The young robber cursed and followed slowly.
There was a soft "click" sound, and Link, who had been prepared for a long time, took action quickly at the moment when the young bandit just popped up. He put his hands on both sides of the young bandit's neck and pushed hard.
according to.
This is a technique that his little dad taught him, and it works every time. Now after three years of abnormal training from instructor Calvin, his hand strength has become much stronger, and of course it is even more handy. The young bandit can't even make a sound.
Before it came out, it was already limp.
Link nimbly bent down, supported the young bandit's limp body, and gently dragged him behind the big tree, laying him flat on the ground, all done silently.
The old Scuva didn't notice it at all. He was still facing the big tree, with the sound of water rushing.
There was a soft "clang" sound, and Link's knight's sword was already placed on old Scuva's neck.
"Don't make a sound!" Link shouted softly.
"Oh my god!" That old Scuva didn't have the vigilance that a bandit should have. He finished urinating as if nothing had happened and shivered comfortably. Then he slowly turned around and saw the driver.
The big sword on his neck actually ignored Link's words and started shouting.
"What are you doing?" Link cursed in a low voice, a little annoyed: "If you dare to ask me to strike with my sword again, you will die!"
"I know, I know!" Old Skuva said, but he didn't look at Link at all. His eyes were fixed on the big sword, and his eyes showed the coexistence of greed and joy that a pervert would show when looking at a beautiful woman.
The light: "This kind of treasure really cannot be seen by others. Keep your voice down, keep your voice down!"
"Uh, what did you say?" Link was made dizzy by the reaction of the old guy in front of him: "What baby?! What on earth are you talking about?! Don't do it!"
"Yes, yes." Old Skuva actually didn't feel the danger of having a sharp knight's sword pressing down on his neck. He stretched out his hand and stroked the cold blade of the knight's sword fondly: "This is from
It’s a magical sword made from extraordinary stones and thousands of forging techniques. Look at the folding marks and the touch. Oh my god, this is simply a divine weapon!”
"I didn't expect that I would be able to see such an artifact in my lifetime, 55555." The old guy raised his face, with tears filling his eyes. He ignored the knight's sword pressing on his neck.
He actually opened his arms and hugged Link: "Kamafa, thank you so much!"
Link's hand holding the hilt of the sword tightened, but in the end he did not cut it down when Old Skuva pounced. Instead, he moved the knight's sword away to prevent Old Skuva from accidentally moving too much.
Hurt himself.
After all, Link Knight has no habit of killing people casually, even if the person in front of him is a crazy old man who ran out of a bandit's den.
Of course, the most important thing is that Link's keen sense, which is beyond ordinary people and has always been very effective, did not sense any dangerous information from the weird old man in front of him, so Link still shrank his hands at the critical moment.
"5555, Karma, you are such a good boy." The old man hugged Link and cried and screamed: "I always thought you were dissatisfied with me, but I didn't expect you would throw away such a precious artifact today.
Take it out and share it with me. You are so good to me, but I misunderstood you. I'm sorry for you, good boy, 55555..."
Link was so upset by him that he raised the hilt of his sword and wanted to knock him out. Although in his mind, he wanted to use this old man to sneak into the den of thieves to find the monster boss.
, but now looking at the messy appearance of this old guy, I am afraid that he will be killed before he even enters the den of thieves. It would be better to just knock him out.
But just when the hilt of his knight's sword was about to touch the back of the old Skuva's head, the old Skuva, who had been burying his head in tears just now, suddenly raised his head, and he was in a dangerous situation.
Avoided Link's collision.
"Karma, uh", Old Skuva burped again, with a drunken look: "You are so loyal, you worked so hard to collect this artifact just to have the boss get married today... uh...
No, it was dedicated to the great boss when he got his wife, right?!"
"Uh, yes!" Link looked at Old Skuvar's drunken eyes facing him, and could only nod his head.
"Good boy, uh", the old Scuva patted Link on the shoulder hard: "What a loyal and good boy, let's go, let's go, hurry up and see the boss to offer the treasure, otherwise it will be too late, the boss will have to follow
The bride has gone to bed!"
"But", Link shook his head and stretched out the knight's sword in front of Old Skuva: "Old Skuva, I just picked this up from a dead soldier of the Imperial Alliance a few days ago.
Yes, this is also a magic weapon?! Aren’t you drunk too much?!”
He tried hard to imitate the voice of the young bandit, but his eyes were fixed on the reaction of the old Skuva. From the angle he held the knight's sword, as long as the old Skuva made any unusual move, his hand would
This guy can be dispatched with a single swing of his sword.
Although this old Scuva looks like a harmless person with no offensive power, and all his movements and expressions from just now to now are very natural, Link always feels that all of this is too coincidental and too coincidental.
It's unbelievable.
There was insufficient light here, and he was similar in stature to the young bandit who had been knocked down. It would be fair to say that this weird old man who had drunk too much mistook himself for that Karma for a moment.
But what kind of great artifact is the knight's sword that Teacher Calvin randomly picked up from the Sunset Garrison in his hand?! It would be more reasonable to say that Teacher Calvin is a mountain beast!
"Of course," Old Scuva looked very excited: "You actually doubt my vision?! You actually doubt my vision?! Didn't your boss tell you what I do?! Tell me!"
"Uh, this", Link was startled by his excitement, lowered his face, but held the sword tighter: "I'm not a big shot like you, the boss won't tell me these things!
"
"Yes, you little people struggling at the bottom are also more pitiful." Old Skuva waved his hands with satisfaction and magnanimity: "Let me tell you, your uncle Skuva is not only an excellent doctor, but also an excellent doctor."
, and a top appraiser!”
With a "ding" sound, he stretched out his finger and flicked Link's sword, making a crisp sound. Link looked at him with full vigilance, but Old Scuva just said with an intoxicated look: "Listen
, you listen, this kind of sound, the chirping of the legendary Tianjia bird, is not so beautiful. When I first saw this big sword, I knew that it was definitely an extraordinary artifact. Boy, pick it up.
A treasure trove!"
Link scratched his head. He grew up in a blacksmith shop and didn't hear anything special about such a sound. But the obsessed look on Old Scuva's face made his words more convincing.
force.
Link couldn't help but weigh the knight's sword in his hand. Could it be that he really picked up an artifact by chance?!
It seems that the heroes popular in the legends on the mainland all got their own exclusive artifacts accidentally by being extremely lucky. It seems that Link Knight is destined to become an extraordinary legend!
"Let's go, let's go." Old Skua suddenly remembered something and began to urge Link: "Let's go quickly, otherwise it will be too late!"
"Where are you going?!" Link still hasn't recovered from the shock of picking up the artifact.
"Go and present the treasure!" Old Skuva glared: "The best things obtained in the operation must be dedicated to the boss first. Have you even forgotten this most important rule?! Or do you want to
Swallow this artifact?!"
"No, of course not", Link laughed quickly: "How could it be possible? How dare I?!"
"Yeah, I just thought your courage suddenly became bigger." Old Scuva rubbed his big red alcohol nose and urged Link: "Let's go, let's go, I'll take you to find the boss.
It’s not good to be late!”
He turned his head and led the way unsteadily.
Link thought for a moment, lowered his head, and followed the strange old man, one after another, towards the bandit's den.
He didn't know why, but he hadn't felt the slightest threat to him in this strange old man, nor had he felt any hostility at all.
Of course, there are some reasons that Link himself hasn't quite figured out yet. He just vaguely feels that the strange old man in front of him is a bit like his little daddy, and a bit like Mentor Calvin.
Anyway, I originally wanted to hide my way in by threatening this strange old man. Now, although I have changed my method, I still stick to the original plan.
No matter what kind of changes there may be, we'll have to wait until the time comes. Knight Link wants to kill even the monster boss, so what is there to be afraid of?!
only……
Link looked at the old Scuva who was humming a tune in front of him, and shook his head a little depressed.
Why do I seem to run into such old perverts wherever I go?!
