Chapter 9, Camping (Part 1)

"Who says country bumpkins don't have the right to like noble ladies? That's what Her Majesty Ludwig said!" Banda retorted impatiently.

Wilt was at a loss for words. Ludwig had indeed said so, but the strength of His Majesty the Savior was unfathomable. Even a demon prince of the sanctuary level could not survive a round in his hands. Bloodlines are important, but In this world, the strong are respected after all. If Banda is really a strong man in the sanctuary, let alone a female member of the Jialan Council, even if he is a candidate of the empire or even the daughter of the emperor, he will have the opportunity to kiss Fangze.

But Banda was just an ordinary warrior.

"Boy, it's understandable to have a lofty goal, but you have to have the strength to match it... Banda, do you know the story of Mr. Ryan?"

"Isn't it because of the military exploits of our ancestors and our noble status that we got a knight title?" The young mercenary said disdainfully: "It is his weapon that can kill the leader of the beastmen. If you can give me a With the same weapon, I can definitely do it!"

"It seems that you don't know the story of Mr. Ryan...Mr. Ryan awakened his talent as a professional at the age of three. At the age of sixteen, he went to the battlefield with his father, the 'bald' Norman lord, and participated in the famous battle in Lapland. In less than eight years, the name of 'Sledgehammer' Ryan has become a household name in our Nords, so..." Wirth was about to go on, and Boris, who was still injured, pressed his shoulder: "Wilter, do not talk."

"Well, in short, Banda, you have to become stronger yourself, and the right way is to work hard." The deputy head stopped talking.

In his mercenary career for more than ten years, he has seen too many young mercenaries like Banda. In the dream of slaying a dragon, I always hope that there will be a beautiful young lady who will post it upside down, but these plots will only appear in those knight novels. How can there be such a thing in reality?

On the other side, Ryan is pitching a tent.

The knight of the kingdom drew out his long sword and swept it across a somewhat uneven ground. Smoke and dust were everywhere. After the smoke cleared, a flat surface was suddenly cut out of the ground that was originally covered with small stones and snow. Ryan After the warhammer tamped the ground to ensure that the sorceress would not lie uncomfortable, a tent was set up on this small piece of flat ground. There was light blue energy gathering on the palms of the knights of the kingdom, and the temperature inside the tent gradually rose. Gao, after cleaning the inside of the tent, Ryan took out the animal skins and blankets to spread the entire floor of the tent, and then made a gesture of invitation to Teresa: "Please, Garland Councilor Teresa-Teresa Miss Lovek."

For the first time today, the sorceress looked better. She took off her high-heeled leather boots and white cotton socks and put them at the door of the tent, revealing a pair of delicate snow feet. Teresa walked into the tent with her staff Lying down halfway, his tone became better: "You still know how to take care of people. I'm really fed up with those mercenaries. Don't they know what hygiene and private space are?"

"Teresa, not everyone can get hundreds of gold dinars for a mission. The strength and conditions of the mercenaries are so good. It is very good to give you a separate tent. It is impossible for them to give you a tent. Light the incense inside the tent, and no one has so many animal skins and blankets that can keep your delicate body from being hurt by hard stones." Ryan sighed: "Teresa, I don't want to quarrel with you , you must know."

"I didn't want to quarrel with you, Ryan." The sorceress put the staff aside, found a place to lie down comfortably, and took out a velvet quilt from the space ring to cover her body: "Follow the mercenary group It’s really not a good idea to take action, last night Captain Boris actually let me eat the unsmelly roasted lamb, mystic lady, how can I get that kind of fishy stuff in my mouth?”

Ms. Mystery is another name for the goddess of magic. There are gods in this world. Calling them by their god names or real names will be directly perceived by the gods.

That's why people mostly give the gods other names, after all, no one wants the gods to look at them.

"But that is already a supreme delicacy for the mercenaries, isn't it? They have already offered you the best things, what else do you want." Ryan sat directly at the door and said to Teresa While talking, he kept moving his hands.

"I know, so what I want to say is that I shouldn't hire a mercenary group to act together. I should wait for you to join me in the last town." The sorceress' tone was full of regret.

"You can't hide behind a high wall and cast spells forever, dear Teresa, Ms. Aurora asked her precious daughter to come out to participate in the hunt for Belt, so why not want her to get exercise?" Ryan just said Shaking his head: "You are older than me, but your actual combat experience is probably not even one percent of mine?"

"I'm not a knight like you who knows how to ride horses and slash all day long." The sorceress didn't refute. Seeing this, Ryan knew that Theresa had accepted his persuasion, so he said softly, "Take a good rest first." Well, I'll go out and see if I can get some game, in such a cold weather, it's better to get some warm meat."

Ryan has dealt with the group of female spellcasters in the Garland Council a lot, and knows that these women are very arrogant. Sometimes, if you properly maintain their face and give them a step down, you will win a lot of money. impression points.

"Understood." Teresa tightened the quilt on her body, and when she saw that the Kingdom Knight had stood up, she called him.

"Lane."

"Um?"

"be careful."

"Hehe, don't worry."

The curtain at the entrance of the tent was lowered, and the sorceress felt the comfort she had not seen for a long time, and she soon felt drowsy.

This was not the first time she and Ryan had met. The first meeting between them was when Ryan was sixteen, and Teresa had just turned twenty at that time.

After Ryan was adopted by Norman "Bald" Norman, the lord of Autergne in the Nord Kingdom, the little boy showed incredible talent. He awakened the talent of a professional at the age of three. Under the witness of the Church of Justice, he passed smoothly. Job... So far no one has guessed what job he is working for. Many people speculate that this is a unique gift from the God of Justice. People can only confirm that his basic job is a warrior.

Due to some unknown reasons, he seemed to be far more precocious than his peers. At the age of eight, he had read most of the books in the Nord National Library and completed the etiquette course for nobles by himself. The talent shown in the study shocked the nobles of the entire Nord Kingdom.

When Ryan was thirteen years old, the northern barbarians went south again. His father, Norman the White Wolf Knight, wanted Ryan to follow him on the battlefield. As a result, Ryan said a famous sentence: "Father, if I go to war with you at this time If you go to the battlefield, I might be cut in half like a wild dog, so please give me another three years, and I will definitely become a knight not inferior to you."

Coincidentally, three years later, the northern barbarians went south again to attack the port of Lapland. They met for the first time when Ryan was sixteen years old. In that battle, the sixteen-year-old Ryan cut a The head of the barbarian warrior and killed five barbarian soldiers alone. King Nord named Ryan as a knight-errant on the spot and invited many people to participate in the ceremony. That was the first time she and Ryan met.

The second time we met was when this young man was awarded the knighthood of the kingdom. At that time, the terrible chaotic beastman lord "Finger" Gore led thousands of beastman troops to wreak havoc in the Nord Kingdom. Several kingdom knights and several The Centuries witnessed Ryan wielding his warhammer and gore duel on the cliff. One man and one beast fought from dawn to dusk. Finally, Ryan took off Gore's head, which earned him the nickname of "Sledgehammer" and the kingdom. knighthood.

The strength of Ryan is not clear to everyone, but what is certain is that it is absolutely impossible for an elite fighter to kill a powerful chaotic beastman lord alone, so Ryan's strength is at least...

Teresa fell asleep in exhaustion.

"Ms. Trovik? Ms. Trovik?" After sleeping for an unknown amount of time, the sorceress woke up with a soft call. Although she still felt very tired all over her body, she was already slightly better than before. , Looking up, the person who came to call her was the mercenary Banda who kept fawning on her. Teresa just nodded. She noticed that Banda was trying to grow her neck, trying to see her face clearly, so Wrap the white fox fur coat around yourself, so that the hairy boy won't see anything else: "What's the matter?"

"Mr. Lane is back, and he asked me to call you." The young mercenary only saw the beautiful face of the sorceress, the neck as white as a swan, and the long hair as black jade, and felt a little disappointed, but he Immediately felt Teresa's unfriendly gaze, so he hurriedly said.

"I see, you go out." Teresa signaled Banda to go out.

The young mercenary was full of anticipation and wanted to chat with Teresa, but the sorceress didn't intend to talk much. He felt very disappointed. Well, he didn't give up: "Is there anything I can do for you? Ms. Trovik, I see you're tired..."

"No, you go out and tell Ryan that I'll be right there." Teresa said again that she didn't need it, and Banda was disappointed that she couldn't speak, so she could only choose to leave.

On the other side, the mercenaries were yelling, because the knight of the kingdom, Ryan, brought back a whole reindeer!

The huge reindeer were being skinned and divided by the mercenaries with short knives. After experiencing the grief of huge casualties, the mercenaries were finally able to get some comfort from the venison feast at night. Ryan generously let the mercenaries take Taking part of the reindeer meat, he left only a hind leg and two venison steaks.

"Tsk, damn knight, it's just luck." Banda saw the cheering look of the mercenaries, and his face became even uglier: "If you really know how to buy people's hearts, the nobles will buy people's hearts. These people hide in the Collecting taxes behind a high wall, enjoying offerings from the poor, these people deserve to die!"

Although he said that, the smell of roasted venison came out one after another. When Wilt saw Banda coming, he took the initiative to hand over the short knife with the skewered meat to Banda: "Master Ryan has brought the roast meat. The weather is so cold. Eat more!"

"Hmm~" The young mercenary was indeed hungry, and he couldn't care less about it at this time, so he took a big bite of the barbecue and started to eat it sweetly.

"Let's do this first. I'll go and see Teresa. You can do what you want." Ryan didn't want to stay with these mercenaries. Soldiers were already at odds with knights.

The knight profession is a model of the lawful camp. From the paladins of the good camp to the black knights of the evil camp, no matter what kind of knight they are, they all tend to be lawful.

But mercenaries are different. Some mercenaries fight to protect what they love, and some mercenaries can swing their knives at anyone purely for profit. However, they all exist in chaotic camps. Knights and mercenaries are born in A relationship of opposites.

Ryan also doesn't have much affection for the profession of mercenaries. In many online novels in his previous life, mercenaries are the embodiment of bravery, kindness and wisdom, but since he came to this world, he has seen more of them. Injustice, stupidity and sword confrontation.

Most mercenaries are willing to do anything for money.

Ryan took two deer steaks and a deer leg, and walked towards the tent he had set up, but before reaching the door of the tent, Teresa was wrapped in a white fox fur coat and raised the curtain of the tent. Seeing that Ryan was holding something raw, the sorceress frowned: "I thought you had already cooked something."

"??? Did you know I'm back?" The kingdom knight was very strange. He took out an iron pan and put it on the fire, and set up the shelf by the way, preparing to make food.

"Didn't you ask Banda to call me?" Teresa wrapped herself tightly in a white coat and sat opposite Ryan, only showing a mature and beautiful face. Nord's winter is really too much. It's cold, if it is normal, the sorceress can use spells to protect herself from the influence of the environment, but now she is very weak.

"Banda?" Ryan still looked confused, and the two looked at each other strangely for ten seconds. The knight of the kingdom immediately reacted and said with a smile: "It seems that another young man fell under Ms. Trovik's skirt." , maybe with just one look from you, he is willing to die for you, I can only congratulate you for having another suitor."

"I don't want to quarrel with you, Ryan." The sorceress said coldly.

"Okay, well, you do have that breathtaking beauty, which no one can question." Ryan cut the deer steak into small pieces and put them in an iron pot, adding various seasonings and wild vegetables, He was going to make a pot of venison soup.

"Have years of traveling taught you sweet talk to women and good cooking skills?" Facing Ryan's flattery, Teresa had to admit that this man could indeed speak, and her tone was much slower.

"No, years of traveling have taught me more. If I have the opportunity, I will tell you what I have encountered over the years." Ryan took out a spoon and stirred the ingredients in the iron pot, and the aroma wafted from the iron pot, making people The man moved his index finger.

"Why do so many people think they are the hero of the story? An ordinary mercenary?" The sorceress said faintly, smelling the fragrance in the iron pot.

"You're saying that now. You were the same way back then. I remember that when we first met, you didn't look at me at all. You just thought I was a lucky kid." Ryan said Tucao said that when the two met for the first time, Teresa also talked to him with this arrogant attitude.

"Okay, now the top priority is, what should I do with Belt? My mana has been exhausted, and I can no longer use magic to chase him." The sorceress blushed pretty, she was unparalleled, and took the initiative to change the topic.

"Let's eat first. After eating, we will discuss in detail what to do."

"Row."
