Sword and Magic and Taxi

Chapter 96: Butcher

   The bodies of the three goblins were hung from the beams of the room, swinging slightly. The rope rubbed against the wooden beam, making a creaking sound. On the hillside next to the village, three rows of newly built tombs are undergoing final refurbishment. Butcher took a charcoal pencil and wrote the names of his relatives and friends on the wood, and then thrust them into the damp soil.

   "What are you going to do next?" Zhao Mai asked: "If there is only one person, it is not suitable to live here."

   Butcher did not raise his head, and repeatedly checked whether there were any errors in his writing. Hearing what Zhao Mai said, he wiped his nose with the back of his hand, inhaled vigorously, and then said in a nonchalant tone: "I can live anywhere, no need to worry about you."

   "I want to hire you." Zhao Mai decided to go straight: "You can see that you are very strong, and your axe swing is amazing. I think I will be much safer with you."

   "Are you a nobleman or something?"

   Zhao Mai shook his head, "I am not a nobleman, nor a rich businessman. I am just a young druid who needs help."

   "Need help?" Butcher spit on the ground, wiped his mouth, and said: "Except me, everyone in this world needs help, so I don't have that idle mind."

"We are going to continue to the south, and we will 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 definitely continue to trouble the goblins. This is a raiding team, they came out to rob in obedience to orders. Maybe you have no interest in helping other villages, but what about destroying goblins?"

   "I can do this."

   "Follow me, at least you don't have to spend the night alone in the wild, there will always be someone taking care of your back." Zhao Mai said, "I am a fair and reasonable person, and I will not treat you badly."

   "You'd better do what you promised," Butcher said after thinking about it: "Otherwise, if you don't have a chance to survive the trial, you will be hacked to death by me."

   Regarding the addition of Butcher, the Paladins expressed different opinions. Several people think that the team should be made simpler, so as to help complete the task as soon as possible; others think that this is a handy act of kindness, and as a knight should not be rejected. Zhao Mai thinks that this is actually a problem of marching speed, and this problem will be solved by buying a strong mule or horse in the next town.

   So the group stopped for a while in Wato Town, Zhao Mai bought some equipment for Butcher. Unexpectedly, Butcher is still a picky person, at least he has high demands on the mount. In the whole town, no horse can get into his eyes, so in the end he only needs a mule, which is simply used for transportation.

   "Can you ride and fight on horseback?" Zhao Mai looked at Butcher's size. He is taller than ordinary people, with big hands and long legs, but he can't see the effect of long-term riding on the legs and hips, so he can't judge.

   Butcher shook his head, wondering if he didn't want to ignore Zhao Mai, or denied his riding skills. He saw a large curved blade in the smithy. It was a large slashing weapon with a length of one meter and two that was used by ordinary people with both hands. He picked it up and weighed the weight, asked the blacksmith to add a small piece of counterweight behind the hilt, and then let Zhao Mai buy it.

  This kind of brutal weapon can only be used by a strong enough person, but Butcher can actually hold and juggle with one hand. Zhao Mai watched him swing the big knife up and down, cutting a wooden stake into five in a few seconds. He didn't look like the kind of fledgling farmers and hunters, but he looked like a fighter after a long training period.

   Zhao Mai deliberately inquired about his past, but Butcher shook his head, just not saying. Sometimes when he gets annoyed by being asked, he will stare and kick Zhao Mai's **** up. Except for the first time he hit and fell, he avoided all the time.

  Watuo Town is the kind of town where dragons and snakes are mixed and lacks supervision. Although it cannot be said to be a den of thieves, it is not far away. The paladin of Aomede is very eye-catching here, and the holy emblem of the Sword of Radiance can play a similar "silence" effect here. In short, the first moment they entered the town, they were watched by everyone but ignored by anyone, making them very unwelcome. So if you want to inquire about the situation of the Archdruid and the swamp area, only Zhao Mai and Butcher can do it.

   "You mean to let me stay in the hotel and you go out to find it by yourself?" Zhao Mai raised his head from the breakfast plate of blood sausage, fried eggs and burnt potatoes, unable to hide his surprise. "Is there anything inconvenient for me to know?"

   "It is not convenient for you to go where I am going. You will not like my old friends. You are not the same kind of people." Butcher shook his head very firmly.

   "That's it, you go. When will you be back? Because no matter whether we can find the news or not, we will not stay here for a long time, at most three days."

   There was no expression on his face full of scars. He thought for a long time, wondering why Zhao Mai would easily accept it. He wasn't sure if the druid was too stupid or too smart, so in the end he simply said, "Well, it won't take that long."

   He fastened his leather armor, stuck the timber axe behind his belt, and lifted the curved blade. When he was leaving the house, he suddenly turned around and said to Zhao Mai: "You'd better close the door at night and don't open it to anyone. Trust your hound, it's much safer than your cleverness."

   Before Zhao Mai nodded, the door closed. UU reading www.uukanshu.com through the curtains of the room, you can see Butcher's tall figure disappearing into the shadow of the alley. This town seemed to be able to swallow everything, whether it was the light of a goddess or a strong man.

After    was alone, Butcher found the familiar feeling again. No one was looking after him, and a looming sense of threat blew through the hairs behind his ears, making his muscles tense again. This kind of tension, he thought he would never experience it again, he thought he could be reborn in the valley. It's a pity that things backfired, and the gods deceived him again.

   "I really failed." Butcher still had resentment in his heart. He has been a mercenary, a bodyguard and a knight, and by coincidence, he has also been a jazz for some time. Although there is no fixed castle and land, he is considered to have seen the world and enjoyed luxury. Only time and time again, he always became a persecuted or gangster, even the guy who promoted him just wanted to use him. He found one boss after another, but only understood one truth: civilians without a background can't get real reuse. Although he was cautious, he was still not an opponent of a nobleman who specializes in juggling. After losing his helmet and armor and being seriously injured, he fled to the canyon village, relying on prayer and family to rebuild his life.

   The goblin destroyed his last habitat, and he was tired of being manipulated by fate. It is said that the druid lives a life of isolation, maybe that is what he needs. Following Mike for the time being and getting the shelter of nature may be his last chance to get rid of the distress in this life. Besides, at present, it seems that Mike has some horrible ideas, and it is fair to handle things, at least he has seen it.

   There is no other place to go anyway, but that's what Butcher thinks.
