Chapter 17 Battle in the Woods (Part 2) Ahh
The winter night came early, and the time shown on the pocket watch was not yet six o'clock. The sun had already sunk behind the mountains, and the last bit of light reflected the Apennine Mountains in a distant and vast field of soft red.
After a day's pursuit, they didn't even have a meal break at noon, but in the end they still couldn't catch the fugitives. Even though they sent two wanderers ahead, they still couldn't catch up with Ladislaus and his party, and lost their lives.
Miss Anna, the spiritual pet, looked gloomy at this time, and more importantly, she had lost her vision guidance. Even if the fugitives may have been chased very close, it would be difficult for the larger number of pursuers to maintain the team as a whole in the forest at night.
sex, which may give the other party a chance to fight to the death.
Therefore, after the fugitives obtained the cavalry they abandoned at the place where they entered the forest and found and dragged back the body of the razor boar at the expected location, Knight Cassano decided to camp one more night on the roadside and pursue the pursuit into the forest tomorrow.
Or use the horsepower advantage to bypass the front of the escapee.
Now Miss Anna must take a rest. If something happens to her, she won't be able to eat and walk around.
Moreover, after the bloody battle with the Razor Boar, Ladislaus must rest to recover his magic, otherwise he would have no ability to defend himself, and would be swallowed up by the wild forest even if he was not caught by the Cassano Knights.
It was impossible for the fugitives to get rid of them too much overnight, so even if he lost his precious sentry, Knight Cassano was still 90% sure that he could capture the exhausted Ladislaus in one go tomorrow.
After setting up camp and settling Anna, who declined the dinner, Knight Cassano immediately went to find the priest of Cyric, and the two began to deal with the extraordinary valuable trophy they had just received——Ladislaus
The cavalry and the carcasses of the razor boar were unable to be taken away.
That's all the property robbed from the town. After half of it was returned to Pastor Steve, there wasn't much left. Of course, those riding horses were still very good, but this razor was something that Ladislaus couldn't take away.
Wild boar carcasses are a real treasure.
Knight Cassano, who arrived at the battlefield two hours after the bloody battle, discovered that the wild boar's blood was still flowing slowly. Ladislaus didn't even take away its precious heart. Even though it had completely died, its heart was still
It is full of vitality, and you can still see a slight beating in the eyes of a powerful warrior like Cassano Knight.
The pastor of Musk Church, who is famous for collecting treasures, naturally has a storage box that can store this treasure. With the strong position of the Xibo family, he got a fresh heart. Knight Cassano also promised to help Pastor Musk deal with it.
Slightly inferior but still valuable pigskin, the craftsmanship of this priest is not inferior to any tanning master in the city of Liguria, and the participation of senior warriors in the tanning process can improve certain aspects of the tanning process to a considerable extent.
Quality, high-grade leather was often produced by samurai who wished to obtain armor, and hiring them was expensive.
Of course, the work of hair removal and tanning can only be carried out back to the Ligurian city, but considering the need to pursue Ladislaus, it is impossible to bring back the roughly three thousand pounds of razor boar intact, so when the Cassano knight arranged for Anna
In the tent, the servants of the Lord of Thieves were busy organizing manpower to process the huge razor boar carcass. A dozen or so people worked enthusiastically. They used long and narrow skinning knives with curved and upturned blades to carefully peel off the carcass.
A layer of precious pigskin, the versatile fat, the soft bristles on the back of the neck that can be made into feathers, and the joint tendons for weapons are properly collected, and these parts have just been distributed.
Pastor Steve directed the few servants he brought to fetch water from the nearby stream, use the large pot he carried to make soup, collect firewood, and set up the fire to prepare the barbecue. In fact, the amount of this pile of pork could satisfy anyone's imagination.
Eat it any way you want and still have more than enough.
The pork that has been cut into pieces is coated with the oriental spices brought for Miss Anna, those expensive peppers, cinnamon, cloves, bay leaves, etc., which are not usually enjoyed by these hard-working warriors and humble servants, just for tomorrow.
After an important competition and rare ingredients today, the Cassano knight decided to let everyone enjoy it.
After all, tomorrow is a crucial day in the career of the Cassano Knights. Being able to capture Ladislaus, a late-stage talent from the Tyrolean branch of the Warlock Royal Family, will definitely bring great honor and prestige to the Cassano Knights.
He will be more respected by the Xibo family.
Although he is respected as the first warrior of the Republic of Liguria with the strength of the fifteenth-level warrior level, like all warrior rogues, he still faces a more serious promotion time window problem than the caster, although the level is the same as the caster.
, the warrior level can significantly improve physical condition and extend life span. Many spellcasters who stay in ivory towers all year round and never go to war can live to be eighty, ninety or even more than a hundred years old, such as Spain's red-robed chief mage Sazastan.
Born a full century ago, he is now a hundred years old. However, even if warriors and wanderers who are often injured in battle do not die on the battlefield, few of them can live to be seventy years old, although they are already much longer than ordinary nobles.
There are few, and it is even more difficult for the poor people to expect such a long life. However, it is difficult to advance after the age of fifty. Even if you want to maintain the original combat effectiveness, you need to spend a huge amount of money. Please ask an alchemist who is proficient in potions to prepare daily potions. Of course, to maintain the potion,
Most samurai rogues above level 8 can generally afford it, no matter what force they serve or have their own business. Most intermediate professionals above level 8 can maintain their combat effectiveness until the end of their lives.
However, if you want to improve your level after the age of fifty, you must have precious tonics made from rare and precious treasures that are full of vitality. Although the razor boar heart obtained this time is precious and costs more than a thousand thalers, it can be used as a tonic.
The main medicine, but if you want to continue to advance, you may have to consume hundreds of such medicines, and this only maintains the possibility of advancement. No one can guarantee anything. The consumption of one hundred thousand thalers is uncertain, and you must have
A wealthy family like the Xibo family must support them even more vigorously.
Level 17 mages and priests (warlocks are level 18) are generally considered to be the dividing line between the most advanced professions because they can use powerful level nine magic. Physics professions will not have such obvious and key changes, but various countries still
Physics professionals who are level 17 or above are generally called "Guo Guo". Although there are many more mages than "Zhenguo", about twice as many mages, they are still cherished to the extreme throughout Europe. Most of them are concentrated in Spain.
, France, Austria and England. Any "protector" outside these four countries that serves a middle power has extraordinary power within its own power.
Once he becomes the "Protector of the Country", the Cassano Knight is likely to be able to establish a new family that is half as powerful as the Sibo family and can be passed on for a long time. It is not a problem to seek an important position in the government. This is indeed a goal worth striving for.
ideal.
If you want to get support, you must repay the support. Just like when Cassano was only an eleventh-level warrior, he could only get 600 talers and a small village with extremely difficult tax collection. Now, the fifteenth-level Cassano serves as a member of the Xibo family's military force.
At its core, there is a productive hazelnut orchard, hunting rights to several hardwood forests, and an annuity of twelve thousand thalers.
And this opportunity to cooperate with the church of Musk, the Lord of Thieves, is also very important to Cassano Knight.
Although the church of Musk, the Lord of Thieves, has an extremely bad reputation, it is also an important human connection. Their secret channels may also help Knight Cassano realize his dream. As for those moral obstacles, Knight Cassano knows it in his heart.
What is morality, but it is completely impossible to hinder one's pursuit of strength and power for the sake of morality. This is also the typical standard for followers of Dark Sun Sirik.
So Cavalier Cassano became more and more involved with Musk's followers on the road, and even shared delicacies cooked with oriental spices.
Residents of big cities believe that the church of Musk, the Lord of Thieves, is actually a thieves union in the name of religion, and they hate their activities. This cannot really be regarded as prejudice, but there are indeed some criminal elements.
Effective resources, the Bishop of Mask, the lord of thieves in Liguria City, is also the big boss of the Thieves Guild. He is also eager to get in touch with the powerful Knight Cassano in exchange for business convenience. Naturally, they need each other.
It was an instant hit.
Just half a hoof weighed over a hundred pounds, plus several of the most delicious pork ribs, broth and barbecue. With a small amount of wine, the twenty or so pursuers, including several leaders, were satisfied, even though there was not enough wine.
, but the knight Cassano and the two priests still sat around the barbecue fire, calling each other brothers and complimenting each other, and it was a happy and harmonious situation. And the other dozen people could not refuse the rare delicacies they could enjoy, and they all ate
A person with a round belly will feel dizzy.
So that when it was close to midnight, when they saw Miss Anna leaving the tent and walking over, there was only a little bit of meat and pot soup left. Although the few kilograms of meat left should still be much more than the lady's appetite,
Moreover, Anna herself had already declined the dinner invitation, but she was helpless and could not let the host eat the leftovers. Pastor Steve took the initiative and reluctantly propped himself up to cut off some more meat to serve Miss Anna alone.
However, Knight Cassano, who was very familiar with Anna, found that Miss Anna's expression was a little strange and unnatural, as if she was extremely reluctant to suppress her emotions. Speaking of which, tomorrow is so critical, and he is so old today.
It was indeed a little late to start eating and drinking, but Miss Anna was the closest to him in the Xibo family, and her identity was at most a shameful one, so she wouldn't make herself look too ugly. Of course, the death of her brother plus
It's not surprising that Druid, who has just lost his natural partner, is a little too irritable. If she really has an attack, he will just tolerate it. Knight Cassano has already adjusted his mentality.
But everything that happened next was more than just strange. No matter how good Cassano was at adjusting his mentality, he couldn't face it calmly.
