Chapter 97 (1/2)
The bodies of the three goblins were suspended from the beams of the house, swinging slightly. The rope crunched against the beam. On the hillside next to the village, three rows of newly built tombs are in the final finishing work. Bucher takes a charcoal pen, writes down the names of relatives and friends on the wood, and then plunges them into the wet soft soil.
”What are you going to do next?” Zhao Mai asked: ”if there is only one person, it is not suitable to live here.”
Bucher kept his head up and checked his writing again and again for errors. Hearing Zhao Mai's words, he wiped his nose with the back of his hand, inhaled hard, and then said with indifference: ”I can live anywhere, you don't have to worry.”
”I want to hire you.” Zhao Mai decided to go straight: ”I can see that you have great strength and the action of waving an axe is amazing. I think I'll be much safer with you. ”
”Are you an aristocrat or something?”
Zhao Mai shook his head. ”I'm not a noble or a rich businessman. I'm just a young Druid in need
”Need help?” After spitting on the ground and wiping his mouth, Bucher said, ”everyone in the world needs help except me. I'm not the one who cares.”
”We're going south, and we're going to get closer and closer to the land occupied by the goblins.” Zhao Mai said: ”I don't know what you think. I only know that if I were you, I would continue to go to the trouble of goblins. This is a marauding team. They came out on orders to rob. Maybe you're not interested in helping other villages, but what about destroying goblins? ”
”I can do that.”
”Follow me, at least you don't have to spend the night alone in the wild, and someone will take care of your back.” Zhao Mai said, ”I'm a fair and reasonable person. I won't treat you badly.”
”You'd better do what you promised,” Bucher said after thinking about it, ”or you won't get to the trial and I'll chop you to death.”
For Bucher's joining, paladins expressed different opinions. Some people think that the team should be made simpler, which will help to complete the task as soon as possible; others think that this is a good deed, which should not be refused as a knight. Zhao Mai thinks that this is actually a problem of marching speed, and this problem can be solved when we get to the next town and buy a strong mule or horse.
So the group stopped in wato town for a while, and Zhao Mai bought some equipment for Bucher. I didn't expect that Bucher was a picky man, at least he had a high demand for mount. In the whole town, no horse could get into his eyes, so in the end, he only wanted a mule to use instead of walking.
”Can you ride and fight on horseback?” Zhao Mai looked at Bucher's figure. He is taller than ordinary people, with big hands, big feet and long thighs, but he can't see the influence of long-term riding on his legs and crotch, so it's impossible to judge.
