Arcane Lord

Just as the two were arguing and quarreling, a girl who looked twelve or thirteen years old, with blond hair and a little freckles on her face, walked out. She carried a heavy hardwood crossbow on her slightly thin shoulders, a large quiver behind her back, and a thick book wrapped in copper in her hands.

“Aha, cute little Shirley, quickly send all these things to the main customer, so that the transaction is complete.” Roth said, touching the girl’s hair.

“Just put it on the ground. I just want to try the formidable power of this weapon.” As Andre took the crossbow from the girl, carefully checked every part on it, especially Bow arm and bowstring.

As the famous Knight killer in the Middle Ages on Earth, this kind of extremely penetrating weapon is also difficult to buy on Olaer continent. If it is not for the northern border of Gushan Town, you often need to talk to the monster. Desperately with the wild beast, I was stopped while crossing the road card.

Obviously, the crossbow that Boss Roth took out is second-hand, but it is well maintained, no matter the groove, the tension, the pedal ring, the trigger reaction is also fast, the wood The part is obviously polished and waxed, and feels very smooth.

Andre stepped on the front pull ring, pulled the bowstring vigorously, and drew a stubby arrow from the quiver into the groove, followed by aiming at a big tree not far away, without The slightest hesitation pulled the trigger.

“sou!”

“peng!”

The sharp arrow is poured directly into the trunk 20 meters away, only the tail section is exposed Outside, the rest are all embedded inside. The force generated by the machine is so huge that if the target is changed to an adult, it is possible to be hit by a powerful impact.

Andre carried the heavy crossbow behind his back, and then nodded with satisfaction: “Yes, it is easier to hunt with it.”

“You…you can actually use it Crossbow?!” Boss Roth finally came back to his senses, asking with surprise on his face.

Although the operation of the crossbow is not difficult, after all it involves some mechanical principles. It is still too complicated for the mountain people who do not know the words. At least he has never seen anyone in Gushan Town. Able to understand crossbow.

“What is this? Don’t forget how many books I have read over the years. Knowledge is the ladder of human progress. Don’t underestimate this.” After speaking Andre rushed to stand in front of him Sydney blinked, tied the quiver around her waist, put the thick book next to her body, and finally cut off a large piece of meat and handed it to the girl.

“Take it, make yourself something delicious tonight.”

“Thank you…thank you…”

Shirley finished this very hard. In other words, a blush flashed across her thin face, and those dark green eyes flickered like gems. Since the girl witnessed her parents being killed by the winter wolf three years ago, she has been greatly stimulated mentally and lost part of her language function. Roth felt pitiful, so she took her to work in the grocery store and clean the table.

“So good!”

Andre squatted down and kissed the little girl’s forehead affectionately, put the jar of salt and honey on the car, and turned towards his home Go.

In Gushan Town, orphans with miserable backgrounds like Shirley are quite common. He basically helps them if he has spare capacity, otherwise these children can only venture out into the wild to make a living. As a soul from a highly developed society, he still cannot accept such cruel facts.

Crossing two streets, Andre came to a dilapidated wood house. This is his home in this world. Inside, there lived a father whose backbone was crushed by a heavy burden. A mother who is busy all day to prevent the children from starving. A big brother, an elder sister, and a younger sister just five years old below.

After sighing from the bottom of his heart for the difficulty of survival, he stepped forward and patted the door forcefully.

“Boom! Boom! Boom!”

“Who is it?”

A woman’s voice soon came from the house, and it squeaked after a few seconds With a sound, the door was opened, and a woman in her 40s who had experienced vicissitudes walked out from inside.

As soon as she saw the large spine and meat on the trailer, she immediately covered her mouth in surprise: “Oh… my God, Andre, you ventured out into the forest to hunt again! Me! I have said how many times, don’t use your life to crack a joke when you have food at home. Mother doesn’t want to hear your bad news in her lifetime.”

“Don’t worry, mother, I’m the whole Gushan Town is recognized as the best hunter. Hurry up and process the meat. In addition, I exchanged fur for a jar of salt and honey in the grocery store. Tonight, let’s make something delicious for everyone.” said Andre According to the etiquette of this World, he kissed Mother on the cheek, and then walked into the dim room.

Betty, the eldest daughter who was mending her clothes with a needle and thread, hurriedly put down her work, stood up and helped her younger brother take off his coat, while lowering her voice and asked: “Tell me quietly, you are again What kind of prey did he hit? According to Roth’s stingy character, he wouldn’t have a jar of honey and a jar of salt for ordinary fur. Also, where did this crossbow come from?”

Listen to elder The sister’s chatter, Andre smiled and shook the head and replied: “A mammoth that broke into the Black Forest. I packaged and sold the ivory and fur together. The crossbow, salt, honey and this book were all in exchange. “

“Wow! A mammoth! I bet the hunters in Gushan Town have never caught such a large prey. Let me see if you are hurt?”

” p>

Said that Betty couldn’t allow his younger brother to excuse, and forcibly took off his clothes, revealing the tight muscles of his upper body, and of course the scars of one after another criss-crossed.

For four years of hunting career, Andre has been injured a lot, especially in the first year. He is often bitten by wild beast because of lack of experience. It is a bruise. The time spent on bed training is much longer than There are a lot of hunting out, and his family often worry about whether he will suddenly die one day.

Know that hunting is a high-risk occupation. What is the difference between hunters and prey in this Barbarian Desolate Land, not at all? It’s commonplace to switch between roles. Every year there are a few who never come back after entering the forest. Hunter…

Gently ran his fingers across the younger brother’s chest cut about half a foot long. Betty sighed slightly and asked in a low voice, “Andre, tell me why are you so desperate? Don’t use the rhetoric of fooling your parents, because I can feel that you have one after another unwillingness to be ordinary.”

“Elder sister, this World is so big, don’t you want to go out and see At a glance? The turbulent sea, the endless plains, and the legendary big cities, all kinds of intelligent life, all kinds of strange things, unfathomable relics, and of course the formidable power spells. I don’t want to My whole life was wasted in Gushan Town, it is too remote here.” Andre explained with a smile while putting on clothes.
