28. Old Hank
"Monica, who usually handles the prey in the territory?"
On the road from the castle to the village.
Zoro also deliberately slowed down his pace in order to take care of Monica, who was not walking fast.
The two of them chatted all the way.
Thor looked depressed and followed Sauron obediently without making a sound.
"Master, they are all handed over to a butcher named Old Hank."
"His craftsmanship is also the best in the village."
"Even the old man praised Old Hank's slaughtering skills when he was alive."
"Is it?"
After hearing what Monica said, Zoro couldn't help but become a little interested in this old Hank.
It might be more accurate to say that he became interested in his outstanding craftsmanship.
"Lord...lord! Good day!"
On the way back to the castle, they were the first two to run away.
Not surprisingly, Ike and York collided head-on with Zoro.
At this time, the two of them were silent and stood respectfully in front of Zoro.
The unlucky gay duo was directly captured by Zoro.
"What are your names?"
There are no two names in Zoro's memory at all.
This made him feel slightly embarrassed.
As the lord of the territory, he didn't even know the name of his bodyguard.
"Sir, my name is Ike!"
"I'm York!"
The two of them announced their names with serious faces.
"Um!"
"You two came just in time."
"Ike, go get old Hank."
"York, just take us directly to the place where the big wild boar carcass is."
Zoro randomly arranged a job for the two of them to run errands and lead the way.
"Yes! Lord Lord."
Ike trotted directly towards the house where old Hank lived.
York, on the other hand, "obediently" led Sauron from the front.
On the next road, Sauron gained several more "strong men".
Without exception, they are all guards in the territory.
Zoro also learned their names one by one.
Some of them saw their group from a distance, and actually wanted to sneak away.
But how could the sharp-eyed York make them achieve their wish?
At the same time, these hidden guards also succeeded in making Sauron look at them more.
I also recorded their appearances one by one in the little notebook in my mind.
Sauron was quite impressed by York's approach.
"You are indeed a good employee of mine."
On the contrary, there are the escort members who failed to hide.
They all stared at York with indignant eyes.
But York was not afraid of this at all.
He also raised his head and chest, and gave them a proud look in return with high morale.
It seems to be telling them:
"I am now protected by the lord, are you able to do anything to me?"
This made the guards who were glanced at by Sauron look resentful.
Of course, these are just pitfalls between team members.
Although it will be unpleasant, it will not lead to bad relations.
After the group walked for seven or eight minutes.
Finally, we arrived at the open space in the village where the carcass of a large wild boar was temporarily placed.
Ike and an old man with some gray hair were already standing in the small square waiting for them.
After seeing Sauron and his party arriving, they all stepped forward:
"Good day, Lord Lord!"
Old Hank bowed deeply at 90 degrees towards Zoro.
Zoro looked carefully at the butcher named Old Hank in front of him.
Unlike the disheveled serf, Old Hank's body looks exceptionally healthy.
Although my hair is already a little gray.
But his face was unusually rosy and he was extremely energetic.
"Wow!"
"Master, look, look!"
"This wild boar is so big!"
Thor's spirit was still a little depressed because he ruined the black bread.
After seeing this huge wild boar, I became energetic.
The excited little maid kept circling around the big wild boar.
Thor's exclamation also diverted Sauron's attention from Old Hank to the big boar.
After he circled around the carcass of the big wild boar.
He paused next to several wounds on the body of the big wild boar.
"It seems that Captain Kahn is more powerful than I thought."
Even the layman Sauron saw only three wounds on the dead wild boar.
I was also secretly surprised in my heart.
He was thinking about something in his mind, and then he shook his head helplessly.
"It's a pity that now is not the time."
He cast his gaze on old Hank again.
And York, who had been paying attention to Sauron, reminded Old Hank in a low voice with understanding:
"Old Hank, it's your turn to take action."
Sauron is also very satisfied with York's performance.
A meaningful smile emerged.
"It seems that this York is worth cultivating."
Along the way, he also got to know a little bit about this guard named York.
Although he looks young, he is very smart.
He can understand some of his own thoughts through his words and deeds.
This made Zoro think that he should cultivate him better in the future.
He should become a qualified "dogleg".
After getting instructions from the lord.
Old Hank also began to stroll forward and observed the big wild boar on the ground.
Even experienced hunters need to be careful when seeing this large beast.
The tough and thick fur cannot be pierced without a sharp enough sword and strength.
The wound on the ribs was precisely between the two ribs of the big wild boar.
Any slight deviation from left to right will be blocked or stuck by the wild boar's ribs.
The same goes for the wound on the neck.
The sharp sword stabbed into the big wild boar's aorta with precision like the god of death.
"It seems that it was Kahn who did it!"
From the shape of the two wounds, it looked like they were caused by an iron sword.
Except for the young lord who has never taken action in the territory.
Only Kahn has this ability.
It was just the wound made by the wooden spear that left Old Hank a little confused.
He didn't know what happened to Marco in the field.
"Corpse abuse?"
Old Hank felt a little sorry.
A good big wild boar skin was just spent.
He pulled out a short knife about thirty centimeters long from the leather knife holster on his waist.
He wiped it carefully with his clothes as if he were a lover.
The bright silver blade of the dagger shines dazzlingly under the sunlight.
In the eyes of everyone's amazement.
Old Hank showed off his miraculous skinning skills.
The tough fur of the big wild boar is connected with flesh and blood.
It looked like a piece of fresh tofu under Old Hank's short knife.
With a light stroke of the dagger.
The two separated without any hindrance.
There was no blood-soaked scene as Sauron imagined.
He only saw a translucent film appearing on the flesh of the big wild boar.
A large amount of red blood was locked in the flesh and blood by the film and could not flow out.
And with Sauron's knowledge, he couldn't tell what layer of skin it belonged to.
Zoro boldly poked the film lightly with his finger.
The film that seemed to break when poked was unexpectedly flexible and not directly damaged.
This made him very curious.
