Blood of Mercury

Vol 2 Chapter 7: drunk old peter

In the lighthearted laughter of Gallo and others, the fate of the baker's family of three was finally decided without any accident. ▲∴top▲∴dot▲∴small▲∴say, x.

"You three come with me first, the logs that belong to your family, I will find someone to help you move them there in a while."

The old city owner coughed twice, turned his head and asked, "Kangding, how much burning wood do you have in your house? Is it enough?"

"Enough," Contin replied softly, "and six logs and some scraps."

"Then, let's give them two first."

The old city owner said in a low voice: "The snow season will end in a week. If you have a smaller house, you shouldn't be able to burn two logs a week. If you bring wood, you don't have to worry about not being accepted by others. Bar."

"But the food..."

The baker protested softly, his face turning pale.

"Isn't it enough wood for you? You've been staying at Contin's for a week, so you've got to leave something for them?"

The old city owner interrupted him directly: "If the food is not enough, we will talk about it. The hunters here are all good boys. When the snow season passes, the monsters will come out, so that you will not starve to death."

"...Okay. Listen to you."

In the end, under the increasingly ugly face of the old city owner, the baker reluctantly agreed.

When the baker went to inform his family to pack up, the old city owner turned to Kang Ding and showed a gentle and kind smile.

"Little Kangding..."

"Teacher, what are your orders?"

Contin lowered his head and asked respectfully.

The old city owner was once a friend of his father, and he watched him grow up from a young age, and was also a teacher who taught Kang Ding the skill of throwing axe.

Although now Kangding's hunting skills have already surpassed the old city lord. But Kang Ding has never forgotten this teacher-student relationship, and has never forgotten his identity.

He has always held a respectful feeling for the old city owner. And the old city lord also has a special feeling for this good boy with outstanding talent and respect for his teachers.

Think so. The old city master sighed deeply.

"These warriors who slaughtered the White Tower are staying with us. I guess they will have to stay for a week. You have to be optimistic about Peter. Don't let him drink too much and cause trouble."

He took Kang Ding's hand and lowered his voice: "Of course, if the old **** is bullied, don't be too patient. After all, Peter is also your guest, and you have a position to protect him."

"I understand, teacher," Contin nodded and asked in a deep voice. "How many people live with me?"

"It was originally planned to be five... don't worry, I know it's too much. The child doesn't count, it's like making the two of you change five, even if I let that slick guy eat everything If you stay, you will definitely not be able to last."

The old city owner pondered for a while, and then asked, "Kangding, didn't you say you encountered an avalanche just now? What about the three children I let you watch?"

"...Sorry, my fault."

Contin was silent for a long time, then said softly. His frowning eyes were full of guilt.

The old city lord's eyes lit up instead: "No. Contin... Isn't this just right? Those three children now... We can just transfer these warriors to their homes. Let these people who master magic techniques enlighten them. Family is also a good choice.”

"...But it's also unfair to them."

"It's the same every year, and it's not just this winter that people die."

The old city owner sighed: "Our survival rate here is already very high. What else can they expect? Well, it's decided... How many people can your family support? If one person serves two people count."

"Four."

Contin replied without hesitation.

"Then I'll leave you three. I'll take the remaining eight."

The old city lord also answered without hesitation: "You are the guardian of Sodom. If you don't have enough to eat, you are irresponsible to the entire people of Sodom."

"...I see. Teacher."

Kang Ding was silent for a while, and then answered seriously.

The old city lord nodded in relief.

It just so happened that the baker's family of three also came out of the guest room with their luggage. The old city owner glanced at them, then walked back to the crowd behind him and exchanged with a tall and fat mountain knight. Then he pulled three young people to Kang Ding: "I'll take them away first. These three children will be handed over to you."

"give it to me."

Contin nodded seriously.

As the cold wind swept in with heavy snow when the door was opened for the second time, part of the heat that Kangding's house had managed to save lost again. Now standing in the front hall can also feel a slight coldness.

"Come upstairs with me first. Three guests."

Horner turned his head and whispered to the three Templars.

And Contin just followed the last of the three guests. Silently looking at the three people who will be staying at his home for a week.

Always ahead was a blond Titan, a Templar of Tyre. Unlike those sissies in the Titan Empire, this kid's body looks quite sturdy, at least he doesn't feel awkward wearing a half-armor.

Another rather conspicuous one was a girl in silver light armor with loose green hair. Her holy symbol is the holy symbol of the goddess of life, but Contin always felt that she did not look like a Templar in armor, but more like a priest.

Although she is also pretty, Kang Ding just feels that she doesn't seem to be as pleasing to the eye as the little brother who saved her before...

And walking at the back, was a short, sleepy-eyed little boy who looked rather lethargic.

Contrary to his appearance, it was precisely this person who felt the greatest threat to Contin. Therefore, even if the holy emblem Kang Ding on this little boy did not know, Kang Ding did not dare to underestimate him.

And he was wearing a strange snake-skin-like robe, with no armor - something quite incredible for the Templars.

After all, at least 40% of the Templars' strength lies in their armor.

As Templars, their divine grace is naturally much less than that of priests. Except for the unique halo ability and a few postures that require divine grace, the remaining divine arts can only be released through these blessed armors. That's why they trudge through the snow without removing their armor - if they do, they might not survive.

"I'll take you to meet the other guests first, and then I'll take you to your room. Also, pay attention to the meal time..."

While walking in front, Horner slowly introduced them to the situation here.

The three Templars responded to her with polite but cold responses, but Hornar didn't look angry at all.

Rather, it's better.

Contin nodded with satisfaction and began to silently ponder the distribution of food.

In fact, the old city owner guessed right before. Contin said that he could actually support four people.

Because Contin's really doesn't have that much food.

Whether it is the guest the teacher gave to him, Master Peter, or the guest who saved him once, they are all people who must not be treated badly. The same goes for Horner and Lim.

However, if you take out your own portion and reduce the amount of other people's food a little bit, you can also spell two meals.

Kang Ding originally planned to stop eating after he fully recovered. Until the snow season was over, the hungry monsters began to come out for food, and then hunt the monsters to have a full meal.

As the top hunter, as the son of Lordahan, Kandin has the characteristics of "enduring hunger" and "wild power". The former can make him go on hunger strike twice as long as ordinary people, while the latter is the capital that allows him to display part of his combat effectiveness even when he is hungry and disabled.

However, the last sentence of the teacher made Kang Ding wake up.

That's right. He is the guardian of Sodom. If something goes wrong with him, if Sodom suffers a wolf disaster again, who can protect his hometown?

Contin is the only gold-level powerhouse in the entire Sodom. If you don't count Contin, Sodom's second most powerful hunter has just entered the silver rank. Searching all over Sodom, I couldn't find a third human being above the silver rank.

Even if the winter wolf can only be regarded as a monster of the black iron rank in addition to being resistant to cold, but in this weather, the hunter of the silver rank cannot show the strength of his silver rank. Once the wolf king realizes that he is not in a good state, it is bad to take revenge on Sodom.

"Oh? What did I see? Yo, Contin, isn't that three little puppies!"

……Oops!

At this time, a drunken voice from the stairs made Kang Ding's scalp numb, and he stopped thinking instantly.

It was old Peter's voice. As winter dwarves, their special culture makes their beliefs fundamentally different from most humans.

Contin didn't even know what **** he believed in. If old Peter hadn't rescued a Lodakhan priest, he would never have been accepted by the people of Sodom.

"Please show some respect!"

The girl heavily tugged at the young man in front of her who almost rushed out, and shouted loudly in a rude voice.

"Hey~www.wuxiaspot.com~ you little girl...you tell me, where did old Peter say something wrong?"

An old dwarf with gray hair and a strong smell of alcohol said inarticulately: "The first time the dog bit the raw meat with bloodstains, he thought he was an old dog who could hunt pigeons, didn't you? Is that what the master taught you?"

Immediately, the atmosphere was completely condensed. The girl let go of her hand with an ugly face, while Kang Ding's body was still subconsciously tense.

"You old dog can't speak human words, can you?"

And Tyre's Templar was already smirking in anger at this time, and he pulled out his long sword with a cold light behind his back: "Then let me see, whether your mouth is hard or my sword is hard!"

Halfway through his words, he rushed out without warning. At that time, Kang Ding didn't stop him, and it was a bit late when he reacted.

The charge and the sword power. The holy blade unfolded at the same time, the thick blade rubbed against the air, and the golden flame gradually ignited. The young man raised the long sword in his hand high and slashed it towards the face of the old dwarf! (To be continued.)
