Chapter 40: wolf attack
? On the winding trade road, a caravan is slowly moving forward.
This is a caravan with dozens of people. The scale is not large, and the total number of carriages does not exceed ten.
At the front of the caravan were two covered carriages, and behind them were seven freight carriages.
At this time, in the second carriage, there were four people sitting in it.
One of them was an old man. Although his hair was grey, he had been carefully groomed so that he didn't look very old. Instead, he looked like an old gentleman. When he was young, he must have been a very handsome man.
Beside him, sat a beautiful young girl, fourteen or fifteen years old, with a fresh and refined face, wearing a white dress, like a pure white magnolia, and the old man should have a grandparent relationship.
There were also two people sitting on the other side of the two. One of them was a young man in luxurious clothes. When he first entered the carriage, he glanced at the other three with contempt.
In fact, he is a direct descendant of a large trading company, and he was forced to join the caravan just because the company didn't go to the caravan he was going to in a short period of time, so when he looked at other people, he always took A natural contempt.
And the other person is a blond boy. The boy is wearing a blue suit. Although he is not dressed as a commoner, he is definitely not very high-end. The only thing that can attract attention is probably his left waist. The sword with a dark brown scabbard was Sean.
In the blink of an eye, several months passed, and before I knew it, Sean had been in this world for half a year. A few days ago, he easily passed the academy's end-of-year assessment, and then bid farewell to Moore and left Neo Knight Academy, preparing to board this business. The team returned to Aser City.
During the past few months, he also thought about finding someone with bloodline talent among the students, but it ended in failure. He didn't know if he didn't have it or he didn't want to expose it and hide it. In short, he didn't find someone with bloodline talent.
However, this does not mean that his strength remains unchanged. The terrifying cultivation speed of the high-level knight talent makes his strength grow rapidly every day, and the monthly medicinal bath allows him to have a huge improvement every time. promote.
In the past few months, he has gone through a total of four medicinal baths, and his improved strength is close to 600 catties. Although he did not improve as fast as the first medicinal bath, it is already very terrifying. The strength requirement for a mid-year assessment is only about a thousand catties.
As the evening approached, the caravan stopped and began to set up tents, light a fire and cook. Sean also got off the carriage and took a look at the environment in front of him.
This is an open space next to the commercial road. It seems that there are often caravans staying here, so there are many traces of tents and bonfires here. Not far from here, there are endless mountains. Among them, the tall Trees can be seen everywhere, from time to time there is the sound of birdsong, and the faint sound of wild animals.
This world is different from the previous life. There are too many places where human beings have not yet set foot, especially the deep mountains and dense forests, which are forbidden areas for ordinary people. The wild beasts in it are extremely ferocious. Don't dare to go too deep, and only knights who are far stronger than ordinary people dare to walk in it.
Sean thought about fighting all kinds of beasts in the dense forest while returning to Asai City, but he gave up after thinking about it.
His current strength is not enough to run rampant in the dense forest, and a little carelessness is also dangerous.
Besides, the dense forests in this world are too lush. If there is no experienced person to guide the way, if you go alone, you may get lost in the dense forest.
In the evening, Sean slept in the tent prepared for him by the caravan. Because of the payment of a lot of silver coins, he was able to get a separate tent without having to squeeze in with other people.
But when he was in a drowsy sleep, he suddenly heard a continuous roar.
He quickly turned over and jumped up, took the knight sword that he kept beside him even when he was sleeping, opened the tent and walked out.
Although it was already night, it was very bright outside. Many torches were lit and placed in the center of the camp, illuminating the surrounding area of ??more than 100 meters.
"Grandpa, what happened?"
Suddenly, he heard a girl's voice. He turned his head and saw the girl who was in the carriage with him before, and her grandfather also walked out of the tent. Obviously, he was also awakened by the movement outside.
"It seems to have encountered a beast."
The old man looked in the direction where the sounds of wild animals and fighting came from, and said calmly.
"You don't have to worry, the guards of our caravan are all very skilled, and they will definitely protect your safety."
At this moment, a middle-aged man with a big belly came over. He held a silk scarf in his hand, kept wiping the sweat from his forehead, and said to the three of them apologetically.
For the caravan, Sean and the others are the sponsors, so he came to comfort Sean and the others the first time the caravan was attacked.
"Do you need help?"
Looking at the direction where the roar of the beast was still coming, Sean asked with a frown.
"Thank you for the kindness of this young master, but please rest assured that these guards of mine are all experts with rich experience, and the captain of the guards has practiced chivalry. There is absolutely no problem in dealing with these beasts."
The middle-aged man glanced at Xiao En, who was obviously underage even though he was holding a knight sword, and politely refused.
Compared with Sean, he believed that his guards had arms as thick as Sean's thighs, especially the guard captain who practiced chivalry, which gave him absolute confidence. In order to attract the other party to join the caravan, he paid a lot No small price.
"It's a little brat who actually plays knight games."
At this moment, a strange voice sounded. From a tent behind Sean and the others, a young man who was riding in a carriage with them before came out. He glanced at Sean contemptuously, and then looked at the fat man. Nian Road.
"Why are there no guards to protect us? What if a wild beast rushes in?"
"I'm sorry, all the guards have gone to deal with the beast, but don't worry, the beast will definitely not be able to rush in."
The obese middle-aged said apologetically.
"Is this how you treat your customers? You actually left them alone. After this time, I must go to the Merchant Association to complain to you..."
Hearing the words of the obese middle-aged man, the youth suddenly became dissatisfied.
While he was still chattering, a roar of a wild beast suddenly sounded, listening to the sound, it was surprisingly very close to them.
Everyone turned their heads to look in the direction of the sound of the beast, and suddenly saw a wolf-shaped beast that seemed to have rushed into the camp.historical
This is a wolf-shaped beast with a length of more than two meters. Its fur is black as if it has been brushed with oil, and its eyes are emerald green, emitting a penetrating light in the night.
"ah."
Seeing this wolf-shaped beast, the young man no longer cared about chattering, but screamed, and the screaming even overwhelmed the sounds of beasts and fighting in the distance.
"Damn, what the **** is Captain Mark doing, why did you let all the beasts in?"
The obese middle-aged man also had a pale complexion. He knew how much he weighed. Facing such a huge wolf-shaped beast, he would definitely die. Thinking of this, he couldn't help but tremble.
The only one who is still calm is probably Sean, not to mention the strange pair of old man and young girl.
Sean's evaluation of this pair of grandparents and grandchildren is strange.
The clothes they wore were not very expensive, and there were no servants around them, but from the temperament of the two, Sean clearly felt that they were like nobles. This kind of temperament, Xiao En had only seen in some noble children. Moreover, the temperament of those noble children is definitely not as strong as the two in front of them.
Although Sean was a bit strange about the composure of the old man and the young girl, at this time, the most important thing was not to let this wolf-shaped beast act aggressively in the camp, so he held the knight sword and walked straight towards the wolf-shaped beast.
Seeing Sean walking towards the wolf-shaped beast with a sword in hand, the girl looked at her grandfather with a pleading look in her eyes.
"grandfather!"
Hearing the girl's words, the old man showed a smile on his face, shook his head, looked in the direction of Xiao En, and said with a deep look in his eyes.
"It's okay, this little guy is not simple!"
The young man and the fat middle-aged man next to him naturally shook their heads when they heard this. They obviously had doubts about the old man's gaze. At the same time, they were also thinking about how to sneak away to the guards when Xiao En attracted the attention of the wolf-shaped beast. there.
But at the next moment, the eyes of the two couldn't help but widen at the same time.
Whoosh!
In an instant, Sean, who was walking slowly just now, moved, and his speed soared to an extremely terrifying level. In the eyes of the two of them, he looked like a blue ghost.
Shua!
Sean was unaware of the surprise of the two, so when he walked towards the wolf-shaped beast, the wolf-shaped beast also discovered him and rushed towards him.
So he shot without hesitation, and while running, he swung the knight sword in his hand.
In the night, the knight's sword glowing with silver light wiped towards the wolf beast's neck.
Pfft!
There was a light sound, and a silver light wiped across the necks of the wolves and beasts. After a few steps forward, the wolf-shaped beasts immediately fell down with a plop. Bright red blood flowed out from between its necks. After a few twitches, it was completely It froze to death, as if it had been fatally hit by Sean.
"This, this, this..."
Seeing this scene, the young girl, the obese middle-aged man, and the young man in gorgeous costumes were all taken aback, especially the young man in gorgeous costumes was even more frightened.
Such a huge wolf-shaped beast was killed by the opponent with a single sword. This kind of strength is simply terrifying, even in his family business, it is absolutely rare.
And such a person, he actually offended him just now, at this moment, he almost wanted to slap himself a few times.
It's not good to offend anyone. To actually offend such a terrifying guy, and there is still no guard around him. Isn't this courting death?
