Chapter 5: Arrive at Ximu Town, a new mission (starting back to normal tomorrow

In the coal stone cave, when Zhu Peng, who was not in a hurry, saw Amyra's tired and tired appearance, shook his head slightly, and he said, "I won't leave today, you can have a good rest."

After saying that, Zhu Peng turned around and selected a relatively best bow from the pile of weapons in the fire pit. Then he took the arrow and walked out of the cave. Although there was enough food for cooking in this robber stronghold, Zhu Peng prefers fresh food, especially meat.

Walking in the forest with a bow, Zhu Peng once again confirmed the fact that the magic level of this world is quite high. Because he was looking for the ingredients he wanted, Zhu Peng actually found a tall giant grazing mammoths on a plain. His body, which seemed to be a five-story building, was just wrapped in animal skins, holding a giant stick made of an ancient tree. After sending this big guy, he suddenly shrank into the grass.

Zhu Peng did not want to test the friendship between the giants in this world to humans. Giants and mammoth elephants seemed huge and slow, but Zhu Peng evaluated himself and felt that with his physical strength and speed at this time, it was unlikely that he could run past it. Once he was directly swung by the big stick, he would definitely say goodbye to this world.

After lurking and avoiding the giants from afar, Zhu Peng hunted a fat elk between the dense forests, then cut off his hind legs and took them back into the coal stone mine cave to make soup. Although there were not many ingredients on his hands and were not familiar with herbs in this world, Zhu Peng was unable to quickly improve his physical fitness and strength by witchcraft, but the deliciousness of the soup he cooked was beyond doubt.

Even Amyra, who had tried Zhu Peng's skills in the past two days, still almost swallowed her tongue. After dinner, she looked satisfied with her face even if she died at this moment.

"By the way, Mr. Sidish, this is what I found here. It looks like the most valuable item, and it looks very sharp." As he said that, Amyra handed over a copper dagger with a strange shape to the other party. After Zhu Peng reached out to take it, he gently touched the sharpness of the dagger with his fingers after smelling it. He did not use any force at all, but there was still extremely thin blood droplets. This dagger was indeed very sharp, and at the same time, it was much heavier than ordinary steel daggers.

"Well done, I now have a good secondary weapon. I don't have to be so careful to avoid armor when fighting with people." As he spoke, Zhu Peng turned his back hand and stabbed the copper-like slightly arc dagger on the wooden table.

The thick wooden table is so pierced through. Such sharpness, even if you stab a general-quality iron-clad armor, it will probably pierce it.

On the afternoon of the next day, Zhu Peng and Amyra finally arrived in Ximu Town with a lot of things. This is a very peaceful and quiet village. It is located under the snow peaks, between the green and dense forests. There is a gurgling water running through the village, revealing golden spots under the sunlight, which is very beautiful!

This should be the origin of the name of Ximu Town. It has gentle streams, mountains and forests, and a place that is very suitable for adventurers to wash their hands with golden pots for retirement.

Before Zhu Peng and Amyra could walk in directly, they had already heard some villagers talking loudly about the dragon.

"It's true, dragon, I really saw the dragon. It's as huge as a mountain, as dark as night. Two days ago, I saw it flying over from the peaks there." A villager from Ximu Town was expressing anxiously and fiercely, but most of the people gathered around him didn't believe it.

"Hilde, when you came out of the tavern that day, it was already very dark outside, and you drank so much wine..." The villagers certainly didn't believe it. How could the giant dragon that had been living safely in Skyrim Province for so many years, and only among the elderly suddenly appear?

On the one hand, it is because of the false hearing of the ears, and on the other hand, these villagers instinctively refuse to believe the news that is not conducive to their own.

"Let's go, first meet Larov's sister, tell her the news that the dragon is coming, and then clean up the things on your hands. I will send you to Xueman City tomorrow." He bounced the forehead of the girl beside him. In Amyra's cry and aggrieved eyes, Zhu Peng took the lead in leaving the villagers who were still talking there.

Although Ximu Town has a beautiful scenery, it is not very large in scale and not many people. In addition, Larov's sister Galdot runs a logging factory here, and is also a well-known person. So after just a little inquiry, the two soon found each other.

"Oh, that guy Larov, he just refused to live a quiet life... Have you saved his life? Is he okay now?"

"To be precise, we fight together and escape, and he should be on the way to the territory of the Storm Cloak Rebels, Fengdu City. I think he at least feels that he is in good condition at this moment."

Larov's sister is a very decent and capable woman. Although she is middle-aged and has worked hard for many years, it can be seen that she was still a rare beauty when she was young, with her facial features and some of the charms she had in the past.

"Well, this is the thing. If a giant dragon really appears nearby, Oh my God, this is really ridiculous. But if this is true, we will report to Lord Balguff in Xueman City and ask him to send an army to protect Ximu Town. Friend, you are a friend of Larov, that is, my friend. You are a sword-making person. There should be no one in Ximu Town that is more suitable to convey this news than you. If you are willing to help me, Ximu Town will definitely repay you with all your strength." Because of the two strengthenings, Zhu Peng was already much stronger and taller than his initial state. Especially if a person's temperament is not deliberately concealed, it is obvious that Zhu Peng, who has the armor of the Imperial Captain and has two swords hanging on his waist, obviously made Galdot feel trustworthy.

"Well, I'm happy to serve." Zhu Peng also understood the other party's request. In the primitive ecology of Skyrim Province, if an ordinary person walks between the two cities at will, he may be killed by a wolf if he is less lucky. What's more, he has to send Amyra to Xueman City. This time the delivery mission is a complete way, especially with the giant dragon.

Zhu Peng would never provoke the black dragon until now. No matter how skilled and strong the spirit and will be blown away by that guy, it will be instantly lost. This level of strength gap cannot be easily even. Therefore, doing some tasks related to the dragon is also a way to promote the espionage shadow mission.

"This is a house in Ximu Town. You can live in it. You can live as long as you want. Wait a little longer, and I will get you some money and food. It is a long way to go to Xueman City from here." He did not refuse Galdot's reward. After collecting these property, Zhu Peng and Amyra turned around and went to the grocery store in the town. After all, they could not carry two large bags of things to travel.

"At least one of us has to do something."

"No, you are not allowed to take risks, don't make trouble, I am not allowed to catch thieves!" As soon as Zhu Peng and Amyra opened the door one after another, they heard the owner at the counter of the grocery store arguing with a woman who looked similar to him.

"Uh, two, please disturb me and sell things." As he said that, Zhu Peng brought the package behind him and Amyra also brought the sacks he brought from Heergen Fortress to the place and placed them on the boss' counter.

She had a lot of hard work along the way, so many villagers in Ximu Town looked at Zhu Peng with different eyes and felt a little contempt, but Zhu Peng had no choice. What if she carried too much things, what if she encountered danger in the wild and was bitten to death by the wolves when she was physically insufficient?

And Amyra herself was also happy. Mr. Sedes said that she would give half of all the money and property. This was nothing to Zhu Peng, but for Amyra, this was a huge sum of money that could change her destiny. As long as she could carry the money, who would not be happy?

The grocery store owner behind the counter opened the sack and package and found carefully selected items from it. When he saw a blood-stained silver bracelet, his eyes were a little straight, he looked up at Zhu Peng, and then looked at the silver bracelet, and he didn't know if he should be shouting for help.

"Don't get me wrong. Have you ever seen a robber bringing such a big girl to commit crimes everywhere? I just wiped out a robber's nest, and this little girl was rescued there." Because Amyra nodded frequently to testify, the male boss of the grocery store finally relaxed after a long sigh. Then he began to count the property and estimate the value of these things.

"You killed so many robbers alone? These things should not be all, they are obviously picked."

"Mr. Sidith killed all the robbers alone... I saw the tail from the beginning and from the side. Mr. Sidith killed the fish as smooth as my grandmother killed chickens. He grabbed his neck and bleeded one by one!" The bloodthirsty girl Amyra was a little excited and proud, so she doubled the record of Zhu Peng's killing the day before yesterday. If there were 50 robbers in that coal stone cave, Zhu Peng would have pulled her away, but Zhu Peng had no position to expose the girl's lies at this moment, and could only rub his nose and pretend that he didn't hear it.

"What a great young man..." It was not the owner of the grocery store, but the woman next to him looked at Zhu Peng up and down.

About ten minutes later, after the two parties completed the transaction, the two large bags of things belonged to the owner of the grocery store, and a large bag of heavy and gold-decorated wallets fell into Zhu Peng's hands, and he threw them to Amyra behind him. The red-haired girl hugged the big wallet with a happy face, and a girl-like expression appeared on her face.

When Zhu Peng turned around and was about to leave with the girl holding the big money bag, the grocery store owner hesitated and said, "Well, do you want to make more money?"

"Um!?"

"This is the thing. The treasure of our store, a dragon claw made of gold, was taken away by a group of robbers. Young man, I think since you have the ability to kill fifty robbers, then the robbers who robbed me are not a problem. Are you willing to take back that dragon claw for me? I really like it." With the words of the grocery store owner, Zhu Peng's phantom reminder popped up in front of him, so there is nothing to hesitate. Even without this commission, Zhu Peng would do it.

"No problem, but I have to go to Xuemancheng first if I have something to do, in terms of time..."

"It doesn't matter in time. Just help me get my dragon claw back." The grocery store owner said in a hurry, and then he got Zhu Peng's nod to agree.

………………………………………

There was a bonfire burning in the middle of the tavern, and the aroma of honey, cheese and meat was scattered in the air.

A bard named Swan sings while playing the piano. From all aspects, it can be seen that the living standards of civilians in the entire Sky Province are still good. Although there seem to be a lot of robbers, even the most common farmers or hunters can enjoy wine and meat. After getting drunk, they dance with the bard's singing.

Although he took on the task of Galdot, the owner of the timber factory, and the owner of the grocery store, when Zhu Peng and Amyra arrived in Ximu Town, it was already getting late, so he stayed overnight and started his journey tomorrow after restoring his energy.

The man and woman lived in the tavern together. Because they had just earned a large amount of gold coins, even the frugal Amyra ordered a glass of honey for herself at this moment. The red-haired girl sat next to Zhu Peng with her glass in her hands. She was obviously fascinated by this atmosphere of her first attempt.

Helgen is a military fortress, and Emila's original family background was also very difficult. She had no resources to enter such a tavern to enjoy the medieval nightlife.

"Boss, have you heard any rumors recently?" On the contrary, Zhu Peng, who had worked as a professional like a mercenary and even opened a similar tavern. He was so familiar with this environment.

With a few gold coins in his five fingers, they swung them flexibly from different angles and crossed the table. The tavern owner rushed to pick them up, but the gold coins were spinning again before they fell into his hands, and then turned back to Zhu Peng's hand along the wooden table.

"Haha." Looking at the depressed and embarrassed look of the tavern owner, Amyra couldn't help but smile softly.

"Woo, little brother, it's not good for you to tease people like this. You look like a person who is used to using swords. This is the reward left by the lord's subordinates when they pass by. Take it to take a look." As he said that, the tavern owner took out a piece of parchment and pushed it directly to Zhu Peng. As the operator of the tavern in the territory of Xueman City, he has a certain obligation to do such work. It is not cost-effective to solve all the bandits and bandits by Xueman City's troops. It is more cost-effective to hire a wandering swordsman directly.

The wandering swordsman takes his life to eat, and only those who complete the task can get a considerable reward. As for how many people die for this, the reward is irresponsible.
