Chapter 64: Theft
It was daybreak, and when Wang Sheng yawned and walked out of the room, the dining table was already filled with food.
The staple food is a kind of porridge cooked with soybean-like grains and a plant root similar to sweet potato. In addition, there is a plate of pickled small pickles and steamed bear meat.
Seeing Wangsheng come out, old Jean put the bowl of porridge in his hand on the table and said enthusiastically, "Sir Adventurer, you're awake, come on, come on, breakfast is ready."
Wang Sheng nodded, adjusted the animal tooth cane on his waist and said, "Where is the water? I want to clean it first."
After briefly washing up by the well, Wang Sheng sat at the dining table and began to eat breakfast.
Just when Wang Sheng was "not listening to anything outside the window and only focused on the sage's meal", old Jean standing by with a flattering smile on his face, rubbed his hands and said, "Sir Adventurer, I had a rest last night.
how is everything."
"Fortunately, I slept quite comfortably."
Because there was food in his mouth, Wang Sheng's voice was a little unclear.
Although it is a bit rude to talk to people when there is food in your mouth, old Jean, the head of a mountain village with no corners, will not care about this.
"The conditions in the village are limited and the reception is not good. I'm really sorry."
While apologizing, Old Jean asked tentatively, "Sir Adventurer, are you going to clean up the kobolds on the molar hill in the east today?"
After swallowing the food in his mouth, Wang Sheng thought for a moment and nodded directly.
"Yes, I have almost recovered from the battle with the ogres yesterday after a night's rest. After dinner, I will go to Molar Hill to meet the kobolds for a while."
When Old Jean heard this, the smile on his face immediately became much brighter, "Oh, that's great. The journey to Molar Hill is a bit long. I'll ask someone to prepare luggage and horses for you. Besides, this time
Let Jet lead the way."
"Well, you can just arrange these."
Wang Sheng forked a piece of bear meat and was about to stuff it into his mouth when he suddenly thought of something and asked again, "Oh, by the way, how is the guillotine?"
Because while fighting the ogre, Wang Sheng discovered that there was something wrong with the handle of the guillotine, so he asked Old Jean to entrust the blacksmith in the village to repair it.
Since it's not an overly complicated adjustment, I think it should be almost done by now.
"The guillotine is ready. It's done. The handle has been lengthened and replaced with an iron one as you said. The blade has also been carefully polished. You can eat it first. I'll have the guillotine brought over right now."
Watching old Jean walk out of the room, Wang Sheng withdrew his gaze and began to concentrate on the food in front of him.
However, when Wang Sheng was halfway done with his meal, he saw old Jean running back in a panic with two villagers.
"Sir Adventurer, no good, something happened."
After swallowing the food in his mouth, Wang Sheng asked with some confusion, "What's wrong? Don't be anxious. What happened? Tell me slowly."
"Brain, my head is lost!"
"ah?"
After a brief period of confusion, Wang Sheng quickly realized that he was referring to the ogre's head before Old Jean could explain.
Sure enough, just as Wang Sheng guessed, the newly hung ogre head suddenly disappeared this morning.
In addition to the ogre's head, just now, villagers who went out to work also discovered the corpse of the villager who was on patrol last night in the weeds near the entrance of the village.
Village elder Jean has just gone to the scene to check. Judging from the condition of the corpse of the murdered villager, the murderer is most likely the kobold that occupies the eastern molar hill.
With this kind of thing happening, it was obvious that we couldn't continue eating this breakfast.
Taking a piece of steamed bear meat from the plate, Wang Sheng said to old Jean, "Let's go, take me to the scene to see."
"Hey, hey, okay, this way."
Under the leadership of Old Jean, Wang Sheng walked out of the door, but just after taking a few steps, he saw a sturdy middle-aged bald man running over panting with a guillotine on his shoulder.
Arriving in front of Wang and Sheng, the bald man wiped the sweat from his forehead, handed out the guillotine in his hand, and showed a simple and honest smile on his face.
"Village Chief, you asked me to do it."
"Okay, thank you for your hard work."
Old Jean nodded, and then introduced to Wang Sheng, "Sir Adventurer, this is Tucker, the blacksmith of our Yunshui Village. He helped make your guillotine."
Wang Sheng nodded and reached out to take the guillotine in Tucker's hand.
According to Wang Sheng's request, the original wooden handle of the guillotine has been replaced with an iron handle, and the damage and chips on the blade from the battle with the ogre have also been polished and repaired.
"not bad."
As he spoke, Wang Sheng's left hand shimmered and flicked over the broad blade of the guillotine. A layer of crystals immediately covered the blade of the guillotine and turned into a layer of sharp crystal blade.
He carried the processed guillotine behind him and was about to let Old Jean continue to lead the way. When he looked up, he saw Old Jean and blacksmith Tucker looking at him with a little awe.
"Sir Adventurer, I didn't expect that a powerful warrior like you who can fight violent bears could also master mysterious spells. This is really..."
"This is not a spell, just some small means." Wang Sheng did not explain too much, but said lightly, "Okay, don't waste time, take me to the scene to have a look."
Seeing what Wang Sheng said, Old Jean naturally did not ask any more questions and began to continue to guide Wang Sheng.
There was no fighting in the village to begin with, but soon Wang Sheng and old Jean arrived at the scene.
Actually, even if old Jean doesn't lead the way, Wang Sheng can still find the place by himself.
After all, as soon as you arrive at the entrance of the village, you can see a large group of villagers gathering on the grass in front of the village.
With the arrival of Wang Sheng and Old Jean, the villagers who had gathered together immediately made way for them.
"Okay, okay, let's all disperse and go back to work. Why are we gathering here?"
Driven by Old Jean, most of the villagers began to disperse, and in the end there were only a few village militiamen, a village woman in her forties, and a child of about ten years old.
The village woman and child were the family members of the dead villager, and they were lying in front of the corpse and crying loudly.
Sighing, old Jean stepped forward and began to comfort the crying village woman and child.
At this time, Wang Sheng did not step forward to check on the villager's body. Instead, he stood quietly on the spot holding the animal-tooth cane, while his eyes continued to scan the surroundings.
After leaving the village, Wang Sheng's sixth sense began to continuously warn him that something was peeping at him in the dark, and that the other party had evil intentions.
Under the comfort of old Jean, the mood of the village woman and the child finally stabilized.
Just as old Jean arranged for the militia to send the mother and son back to the village, Wang Sheng's voice suddenly sounded.
"Village chief, please take people back to the village. By the way, take the body away as well." "Take away?"
Old Jean said with some confusion, "Well, I'm going to take the body away. Will you wait to see it when you return to the village?"
Wang Sheng turned his back to old Jean and fixed his gaze on the tall grass and bushes not far away.
"No need to look, I've found it."
Before Old Jean and others could react, Wang Sheng had already rushed out.
Wang Sheng's running posture seems a bit weird due to his lameness, but with the blessing of his excellent physical fitness and skill [Lame Speed], his speed is indeed far beyond that of ordinary people, but in just a short time
In a few breaths, he had rushed more than thirty meters and arrived in front of the tall grass bushes that alerted his sixth sense.
“Woah—!”
Accompanied by a weird roar, a kobold with fiery red hair on its head suddenly jumped out of the tall grass, waved its claws and shot an orange-red fireball the size of a fist towards Wang Sheng.
The kobold who shot the fireball at Wang Sheng was the kobold spellcaster apprentice Tinder who came to monitor Yunshui Village under the orders of the kobold elders.
At the same time that Tinder burst out of the tall grass and shot fireballs at Wang Sheng, two more kobolds carrying axes and swords rushed out of the bushes, roaring and charging towards Wang Sheng.
With no time to dodge or hesitate, Wang Sheng, who was running, directly swung his animal-tooth cane at the incoming orange-red fireball.
boom!
The orange-red fireball was exploded by Wang Sheng's blow, and the power of the fireball explosion also interrupted Wang Sheng's charge.
After taking two steps back, Wang Sheng steadied his body.
Looking at the animal tooth cane in his hand that was not damaged at all, Wang Sheng nodded slightly.
Although the fireball released by the kobold is not very powerful, the fact that the animal-tooth cane remained intact after being hit is enough to show how extraordinary it is.
Passing the cane to his left hand, Wang Sheng shook his numb right hand and stepped forward to meet the two kobolds rushing towards him.
Compared with the tinder that can release fireballs, these two kobolds holding hand axes and short swords are a bit unsightly.
In addition to being more flexible in body, Wang Sheng was crushed in terms of size, strength and intelligence.
As soon as the two sides met, Wang Sheng kicked the axe-wielding kobold in the chest.
Click!
Accompanied by the crisp sound of bone cracking, the hand ax was released, and the kobold's body drew a graceful arc in the air and hit the ground heavily five meters away.
His eyes widened, his body twitched, and a large amount of blood mixed with internal organs spewed out of the ugly dog's mouth.
It was obvious that this guy was not going to survive.
At the same time that Wang kicked away the axe-wielding kobold, the dagger of another kobold stabbed Wang Sheng in the waist amid the exclamations of Old Jean and others.
As the dagger stabbed down, a very human look of astonishment appeared on the ugly dog face of the kobold.
The human body in front of me that should be splattered with blood is actually as tough as a century-old tree, preventing its dagger from making even an inch of progress.
"How about it, am I very hard?"
Before the kobold could react, Wang Sheng's big hands were already tightly clamped on its neck like iron pliers.
Looking over the side, Wang Sheng narrowed his eyes slightly, raised his hand to lift the kobold in front of him from the ground, and blocked it in front of him.
Chapter completed!
