Black Iron’s Glory

Chapter 36—Perfect Excuses

When Welikro heard the gunshots from the ruins, he was cleaning up two killed mountain antelopes by a stream under a cliff. This is the most common wild antelope in the three southwestern provinces, and he likes to climb on the rock. The moss and small shrub leaves can also effectively avoid the killing of natural enemies. Because many carnivorous beasts don't have the skills to climb rocks, they can only drool over the delicious foods that are swaying on the rock walls in midair…

Only these mountain antelopes did not expect the beasts to climb the rock wall, but some people could knock them down from the rock wall. For Welikro, these mountain antelopes are the best targets, and even if three people are close to the cliffs, these mountain antelopes are not panicked. There may be a lot of beasts who once wanted to kill them, but the bloody lessons that fell from the rock wall, so that these mountain antelopes believe that the enemy can not climb the cliff is not enough threat to them.

Welikro slammed the gun, aimed, fired, and a mountain antelope rolled down the cliff. But the rest of the mountain antelopes are not aware of the danger. The roar of the musket is more like thunder in the ears of these mountain antelopes, and the fall of the partner is likely to be lost by other mountain antelopes. Therefore, the remaining mountain antelopes just stopped eating, and the restless “咩咩” called, looked up and looked at the west, and paid more attention to their whereabouts.

Welikro three other mountain antelopes did not run, overjoyed, more effort to clean up the guns, pill medicine, squirt guns, around the fire rope, ignite, continue to aim at the gun…

Another roar, another mountain antelope rolled down from the air. At this time, the surviving mountain antelope discovered that the real threat came from the three two-legged beasts below. They held a strange stick. Every time a thunder rang out a white smoke, a partner fell off the cliff…Soon the remaining mountain antelopes swayed flat on the cliff, and soon disappeared on the other side of the cliff…

The Welikro trio regained their guns on the fire rope before they went to find the prey they had hit, because no one could guarantee that there would be other carnivorous beasts ambushing beside them to hunt for the mountain antelope, which is likely to be in the prey. And the beasts came to meet unexpectedly, and the sarcophagus of Borkal and the hunting bow taken by Eriksson could not guarantee everyone's safety.

Good luck, no encounter with any beast, Welikro said that the most dangerous beast of Egret is the mountain leopard, which is the overlord in the mountains. Every mountain leopard is as big as a calf scorpion. It is unusually alert and alert. Any experienced hunter will not go against a mountain leopard without preparation. It is a dead end.

The mountain antelopes that were hit by the fallen cliffs were looking for them. They fell on the slopes below the cliffs, not far from the three. It was only when Borkal saw the two trophies that he couldn’t help but sigh.

In fact, these two mountain antelopes are very fat, but Borkal is a pity for their fur. Touching from the cliffs and touching the hard rock, the two mountain antelopes have many holes in their fur, and they look a bit broken.

Last time Welikro went to the Old Mock's Goods and sold two old furs, which belonged to this mountain antelope. But the two furs are old, but they are also complete. Unlike the mountain antelopes that have just been hunted, the fur has been cut and broken.

"This can only sell two riya cables at most, this is a good point, three riya ropes around. I can only go to Old Mock's Goods to sell, Wakri may give us the price. If you get the Gilp fur store, you may refuse to buy it because of the damage. ”Borkal was very expert in identifying.

"Take the handle, don't stand there nonsense," Eriksson said with a disappointment. "We both lifted one and Welikro took one and went to the creek and peeled it first." Don't worry about how much money, the peeled skin still has to be peeled off. As for the value is not worthwhile, I suspect that your eyes are not visible at all, then you can't shoot the nearby pheasant, and you have to pay for the arrow…"

"You still said that you are not the same, you can't catch a rabbit with two rabbits…"Borkal was very convinced, but he still picked up the front legs of the mountain antelope and walked with Eriksson to the mountain stream not far ahead.

"I am not used to knowing, this is a hunting bow, not a practice bow of the school. I just got a hand and I still have no strength. If my family was short, I had already hit the two rabbits. ”Eriksson is making excuses for not being able to hit two rabbits.

HmmmBorkal smiled and said: "What short is yours? What is the range? You are going to climb over and put a short scorpion into the rabbit's butt and fire it again, so don't say you, I can hit it…"

The two men mixed their mouths to the mountain stream, then watched Welikro peeling and decomposing the mountain antelope, while warning and continuing to quarrel.

When Welikro was unloading the mountain antelope, he heard a gunshot from the ruins.

Welikro stood up at once: "Do you hear gunshots too?"

Borkal nodded. "Yes, I heard the gunshots."

Eriksson is a bit worried: "Is there something wrong with Claude?"

Welikro glanced at the wolf on the floor: "Take the two antelopes and take the hind legs of the four antelopes. We don't want anything else, go back immediately."

Forty minutes after the gunshot, the three sweaty men rushed back to the magic tower site, and at first glance, Claude was covered in mud on the open space in front of the site.

The three were a little scared. They refused to take care of the things in their hands. When they threw, they ran to Claude and ran and shouted: "Claude, Claude…"

But seeing Claude lying on the ground, he raised his head and smiled very reluctantly: "You are here…I'm fine.It’s a little tired, it’s very weak…”

Welikro rushed to the front of Claude, knelt down and examined Claude's body carefully. Nothing was found to have any trauma. It was relieved, and Claude was sitting up and asked, "What happened?" How do you feel all the mud, so dirty and so stinking…"

Claude pointed his finger at the ruins: "I went to the ground floor, where I killed a big python, you go and see, by the way, pull the python's body up…"

"Large pythons?"Welikro squatted and stood up: "Eyke, Boa, let's go see…"

"The innermost is the underground entrance near the cliff…"Claude shouted.

In fact, it is not necessary for him to say which of the underground entrances Claude is from the traces of the fallen mud on the ground. Not too long, Borkal ran back: "Claude, you have killed a big python by yourself!" I don’t know, just went down and saw the big python. All three of us were shocked. I was afraid that it would still be alive. Eyke had to take another shot with Welikro to see if it was really dead…"

"Is it shot?"Claude asked, the heart said that I didn't hear any gunshots. Although it was on the ground floor, I should hear the gunshots so close.

“No,” Borkal shook his head. “Welikro said that the python must have died. Otherwise, it would be a bit moving when we went down. He went down the rope ladder alone. By the way, I am coming up and getting some firewood. The piles of fire inside are going to go out…"

Borkal rushed to get the firewood.

After another half an hour or so, Claude also stood up and played in the show. Even if he had been tired for so long, he should have to slow down.

Going to the underground entrance, I saw the Welikro trio dragging the dead python. Claude didn't think much when he wrestled in the mud in the ground, but now it was found on the ground that the python was really big. The body that was nearly three meters long and three meters long looked very scary. Claude couldn't help but be scared. .

In the unlikely event that the python didn't bite into the gun body and bite into his face, Claude's cold sweat came out again. It was a moment of life and death…

"This python can get at least three silver thales in town."Borkal singularly expresses his professional gaze.

"Not only this python, you don't forget that this python's ribs are more valuable."Eriksson added.

‘Enough! Don't just pay attention to the money! ”Welikro's face is very dark: "I don't understand, Claude, why do you have to go down the ground floor? I have already said that there is nothing else in the mud except for the following. You are lucky today. If you have a good time, let us three of them go back to your parents! ”

Borkal and Eriksson reacted, and they were scared when they remembered what Welikro said. If Claude didn't kill this python, it was taken by this python…They can't imagine it.

SorryClaude said: "I was just trying to stand on the stone steps to look at it, so I threw a few torches down, and I found something in the mud next to the stone ladder shining gold in the light of the fire, so I made up the rope ladder, and threw those piles of shrub branches down, I just want to see what the gold glittering is, As a result, I didn't expect to be suddenly attacked by this big python … "

"So what did you find that gold glittering?"Welikro looked at Claude with suspicion, and in his opinion it might just be Claude's wording and find a reason for his adventure.

"I found this…"Claude put his hand into the pocket, took it out, opened it again, and a few shiny gold coins landed on the ground, making a crisp bump.

"This, this is Sullivan!"Borkal picked up a look and surprised, and cried: "I didn't admit it. This is the gold coin six hundred years ago. I saw the image of it in the book of the family, a magic with a cloak." division. Later, after the establishment of the Amsra Dynasty, this gold coin was completely abolished. Unfortunately, this is not a Sullivan magic gold coin. ”

"I have been looking for a long time, only a total of these five."Claude said: "It’s all next to the stone ladder. I want to expand the range and I will meet the python."

Welikro suspicion to go, because Claude can not make a few 600 years ago gold coins, it seems that the situation should be like he said, throw torches down, found that there is something flashing in the silt, so just throw those piles of shrub branches down, and made up the rope ladder, the preparation has been very perfect, Just didn't think underground on the first floor still hidden such a big python, this is really a sudden unexpected situation.

Eriksson picked up the other four Sullivan coins on the floor, he didn't think as much as Welikro thought: "Is this worth it?"

"I don't know if it's worth the money."Borkal said: "This should actually be an antique gold coin. After all, it has at least six hundred years of history. But it can't be considered an antique, because the image of this gold coin is evil magician, so it is forbidden to use in Freia Continent countries. However, it is also allowed to get the bank to convert it into a universal coin according to its gold content. In our Kingdom, I remember that I can redeem two crowns, that is, ten silver thales. ”

"Oh, Claude, you are rich."Eriksson said with envy: "I didn't expect your harvest to be the biggest in Egret. I not only killed such a big python, but also found such five gold coins. Hold it, this is yours. ”

Claude waved his hand and didn't pick up the gold coin that Eriksson handed over: "Give it to Boa and let him keep it. We didn't say it when we came. All the gains were equally divided. The five gold coins I found are no exception. ”

"Yes, but this big python is killed by you alone. The gold coins are also found by you alone. We have not helped a little…"Borkal said with a wry smile.

Klein laughed. "We came together, so we didn't go home before we were together. Just like the three of you went hunting, I am here alone. You will also give me a prey." By the same token, if I have not killed this python, then you have to take up this responsibility and go back to accept the punishment. So, whether it is this python or the five gold coins, everyone has a share. Welikro, you said this is not the case. ”

"Okay."Welikro snorted and replied: "But there is a rule for hunting together. Whoever has more strength and who takes a big share, does not contribute a small portion…"

"That line, I took two of the five gold coins. You one by one, so you decided." Welikro, you took them to peel the python skin first, and at night we ate the roast meat. ”Claude made an unquestionable decision.
