Naturally, Gerald and Sui Xiong would not have thought that they had been targeted by the Thieves Guild in Huishi Town.

I sold some valuable things I collected from the ruins of Baiye Village, and collected about ten gold coins from bits and pieces. This little money was only obtained because the grocery store owner was so frightened by Gerald's appearance that he was so oppressive.

"That old man is so shady, he only sells a big bag of stuff for such a small price!" Sui Xiong was indignant, "The profiteer is here!"

Gerald was very tolerant: "Your Majesty, ten gold coins are a lot. The villagers usually use copper coins to calculate their expenses."

"Ten copper coins are exchanged for one silver coin, and ten silver coins are exchanged for one gold coin... Thinking about it, we already have a thousand copper coins, which seems to be a lot. Then go buy you some equipment. This robe of yours is no different than a beggar. "

"Forget it, the equipment I can buy with ten gold coins is not as high as my own body's defense." Gerald scratched his head again and smiled honestly.

Sui Xiong was speechless. He wondered if when he made Gerald's body, his brain was not refined enough and the circuits on the brain's surface were missing. Otherwise, why would such a big head have such simple and peaceful thoughts? This guy didn't seem like this when he was a ghost before.

But then he thought about it, there has never been a saying that big brains equal high intelligence. Maybe Gerald was originally stupid, but he occasionally became smarter for a while after becoming a ghost...

Forget it, since I'm looking after him anyway, even if this guy is a little stupid, he won't be betrayed, just let nature take its course.

Of course, it was impossible for Gerald to know what Sui Xiong was thinking. He was walking casually on the street with a backpack on his back. Because he was so tall and strong, he occupied a small half of the street. Everyone looked at him wherever he passed, and more than one person was talking secretly.

"Look! That guy is so tall!"

"Not only is he tall, look at how strong he is! His arms are thicker than our waists!"

"With such a big body, how much food does one need to eat..."

"Although this man is tall and strong, his movements are very flexible. He is a good material for martial arts! If we can recruit him into our team and train him a little, he will be a top master! It will definitely be much easier to go on missions in the future!"

"The giants are straightforward and forthright, and their talents are first-class. It is rare to meet such a talented person in this northwest town. I must try to guide him. Even if he cannot be allowed to join my lord, at least he will not go into evil ways. Only the road will do!”

"Hey! Where did the giant come from here? It seems that he is not an ordinary giant, I'm afraid he is a young shaman. Tsk tsk, maybe we can use this simple-minded guy to contribute to my lord's career... "

"What a strong breath of life! This is obviously a natural-born Druid! If I can convince him to accept our ideas, I will definitely teach him all I have learned in my life. Even if I die, the Druid of the four northwest towns will The Islamic Organization can be considered a successor!"

"Jie Jie Jie, this big man will definitely become a very good material. If you use him as a raw material, you may be able to refine a death knight powerful enough to sweep through the silver level... Perhaps, there may also be a gold level one..."

The voices of these people were not loud, and they were mixed in the chaotic noise, so even if Gerald had sharp ears and eyes, he would not be able to detect them. However, Gerald didn't notice it, but Sui Xiong did.

The words and sights of ordinary people were nothing more than that. There were several peepers with extraordinary strength, which made him naturally feel it. With his powerful perception ability, once he senses someone, even if those people are far away and speak softly, it will be as clear as if they are yelling in front of him.

"Gerald, there are a few people paying attention to you." He said to Gerald with his mind.

"Your Majesty, I am so big, it is normal for me to attract attention."

"Are they big? I think they are quite ordinary. It's because they are too short..." Sui Xiong muttered, not realizing that his understanding of height had been seriously skewed, "But those few are not ordinary people. I give Please introduce them one by one."

"Well, the first one is the one who is eating with several people at the table in front of the hotel. He wants to get you to join him."

Gerald didn't look at it and replied casually: "That should be a group of adventurers. Such adventurers are very common. I was also an adventurer back then."

"Oh, I just want to get you to form a team to fight black. I understand, I understand. The second one is the old man wearing old armor at the door of the little dilapidated temple. He wants to guide you to be a good person."

Gerald looked over there and saw the old man who was smiling at him. He also saw the silver-white scale and shield logo at the door of the temple. He smiled and said: "That is the holder of the scale - the God of Justice - The chief guard of the temple, the God of Justice, is a famous good god, and they are considered a rare good force in the northwest region."

"That's good. At least you don't have to worry about them betraying their teammates. The third one is the fruit vendor on the roadside. He wants to take advantage of you. It's strange. The fruit vendor here actually has some skills. I'm afraid his skills are still there. There's that old man in armor!"

Gerald was secretly startled, looked at him carefully with the corner of his eye, and said: "I don't know this person, but there is no fruit in this area. Being able to sell fruit here is proof of your strength. I guess this person Maybe they are from the Thieves Guild or the Smugglers Guild, most of them believe in evil gods and are difficult to get along with!"

"To put it bluntly, he is a bitch who knows how to use black equipment. Stay away from him! The fourth one is the thin man sitting on the roadside to rest. He is the one wearing a simple leather robe and holding a wooden stick with sprouts on the top. .”

"Your Majesty, those are druids. They follow the path of balance, neither good nor evil. But in this area, their behavior tends to be in the good camp." Gerald explained.

"That is to say, 'Although I am not a good person, it happens that the people I hate are all bad guys,' right?"

"That's right."

"That's good. He is very friendly to you and wants to hand over all his skills to you and make you his successor."

Gerald was delighted, but after thinking about it he shook his head: "Although I also want to learn some druid skills, I have already served your majesty, and it is not suitable for me to get along with them who believe in the natural god system."

"What a pity..." Sui Xiong sighed and continued to introduce, "The last thing worth noting is the one standing in the shadow of the roadside, wrapped in a black robe. He is completely malicious towards you and wants to take away You go and use the materials to refine the death knight."

Gerald stopped and turned to look in the direction Sui Xiong was pointing. Sure enough, there was a man in black robe hiding in the corner, secretly spying on him.

Seeing him looking over, the man in black robe pulled up his robe and covered his face.

"Your Majesty, that's him, right?"

"That's right."

Gerald immediately took long strides and rushed towards the man in black robes, shouting: "Desecrating the corpse Necromancer, how dare you plot against me!"

The man in black robe never expected that his spying from a distance would be discovered, and even his identity would be seen through, and he was suddenly shocked. Seeing Gerald rushing over like a tiger descending a mountain, he directly activated a magic item without thinking, surrounded by a circle of white light, and disappeared without a trace.

"Damn it!" Gerald was just a little bit able to catch up with him, but this guy ran away. He was immediately furious. "This is a teleportation spell. These casters are as slippery as fish!"

"I can track his whereabouts, do you want to pursue him?"

Gerald hesitated for a moment, but gave up this powerful suggestion: "The place where the mage teleports probably has many spell traps, and it may even be the headquarters of their organization. It's better not to cause this trouble..."

This small conflict is not eye-catching, but it makes many interested people shine.

That necromancer is definitely not a weakling. He is considered a ruthless character in this town of Huishi and has quite a bad reputation. However, in front of Gerald, he didn't even have the ability to fight back. He didn't even have time to recite a spell and directly used his life-saving trump card.

Gerald's speed was so fast that there was at least one street between the two of them, and he actually rushed over in a few steps. And at such a long distance, he can still detect that the Necromancer is plotting against him... This giant man who looks simple and even a bit stupid obviously has astonishingly keen perception and unusual agility. Look at his With a body that is as strong as a wall, his strength is definitely not small, not to mention his physique. Probably except for his slightly lower intelligence, he is simply a flawless talent!

So the temple guard captain wearing old armor simply walked out of the temple and walked towards Gerald. But before he could reach Jerad, the fruit seller had already approached him.

"Sir, do you want some fruit?" He smiled harmlessly, "If you have one, it's free."

"Why?" Gerald asked cautiously.

"The necromancer who desecrates the corpse is the public enemy of all of us." The vendor said with a smile, "You scared him, it's worth me giving you a piece of fruit."

Jerad shook his head: “I dare not eat your fruit.”

After saying that, he left without waiting for the vendor's reaction.

The vendor stood there awkwardly, his eyes dark for a while, but then returned to the stall with a sneer. When he returned to the back of the stall, he had returned to his previous appearance, smiling harmlessly.

Gerald had not gone far when the old temple guard chief came to him.

"May the just scales bless you and your efforts will be rewarded." He said, "Young man, you have extraordinary physical fitness. Are you interested in learning some fighting skills?"

"Fight? I will." Gerrard said.

"But I believe that what you have mastered are relatively crude and simple skills, such as powerful attacks or jumping chops." The old man said with a smile, "Admittedly, with your physique, just relying on such skills is enough. Make a name for yourself, but why don't you learn something more advanced? I can teach you some more efficient fighting techniques, so that you can knock down the enemy faster and avoid getting hurt as much as possible."

"Injured?" Gerald smiled, picked up a short knife from an adventurer's stall on the roadside and slashed his arm.

The sharp blade struck the defenseless arm, making a dull sound, as if it was striking hard wood. When he picked up the knife and returned it to the adventurer, everyone saw that his arm was unharmed, not even a mark.

Seeing this scene, more than one person exclaimed.

"Natural armor!"
